On the way back, Bai Yanqing remained silent, as if she had something on her mind.
"What's wrong with you, madam?"
Yun Qi felt a little confused when he saw that Bai Yanqing had not said a word for a long time. On weekdays, Bai Yanqing would never say a word no matter how uncomfortable she felt, but it was a little strange today!
Bai Yanqing shook her head subconsciously, as if she heard what Yun Qi said. But her eyes were glazed over again, it was obvious that her mind had not returned yet.
Seeing Bai Yanqing's appearance, Yun Qi stopped saying anything and just looked at Bai Yanqing dreamingly.
I don't know if it's because of the cold weather, but Bai Yanqing's cheeks and nose are slightly red from the cold, which makes her fair face look whiter and tenderer!
Yun Qi kept staring at Bai Yanqing like this, and secretly sighed in his heart: My wife is so beautiful!
Yun Qi couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that such a cute and charming girl would become his wife soon!
Thinking of good things like this, Yun Qi gradually lost his focus. It was not until Bai Yanqing stretched out her finger and waved it in front of his eyes for a long time that he finally came back to his senses!
"What are you thinking about, Your Highness? Are you so entranced?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Yun Qi with a smile and asked curiously.
"I was wondering...when can you enter my house and become my legitimate wife!"
There was no one else riding in the carriage the two of them were riding in, so Yun Qi dared to speak these intimate words without restraint.
Hearing Yun Qi's nonsense again, Bai Yanqing couldn't help but blush quietly on her cheeks. She couldn't help but glared at Yun Qi coquettishly.
"What was the lady thinking just now? Are you so absorbed in your thoughts?"
After regaining his composure, Yunqi couldn't help but speak again.
"Your Highness, do you think...the waiter at Qingfeng Tower just now...is a little strange?"
Bai Yanqing told Yun Qi the doubts in her heart.
As soon as he heard this, Yunqi started thinking in his mind. He carefully thought about the situation while eating today several times.
"It's a little weird!"
Yun Qi frowned, as if he was remembering something. He hesitated to speak several times, but finally did not say anything.
Forget it, let Bai Yanqing think about some things by herself!
Yun Qi didn't say a word, and the carriage became quiet again for a while. The two of them had their own thoughts, and no one said anything.
In the Qingfeng Building, the waiter who served snacks had now taken off his gray clothes and put on dignified and decent women's clothes again.
"Why do you go to such trouble?"
Ji Nanjing looked at the woman in front of him, puzzled. She obviously could talk to Bai Yanqing directly, but she chose to beat around the bush and give Bai Yanqing various hints. What's the point of this?
The woman glanced at Ji Nanjing coldly. Ji Nanjing was so frightened that he shrank his neck and dared not say a word!
Ji Nanjing also had a hard time talking about it. It was really uncomfortable for him to be sandwiched among the elders!
"Just now, you can order someone to make a new portion of the dishes she just ordered and send them to the White House."
The woman stood at the window, looking at the carriage going further and further away, and suddenly spoke to Ji Nanjing.
"Okay! I'll let the chef do it right now!"
Ji Nanjing wanted to run away immediately. He really didn't like this damn oppressive atmosphere!
"You should pay more attention to things in the building and don't do it all day long! It's time to change your white robe!"
Just as Ji Nanjing stepped out of the threshold, another woman's voice came from behind.
Ji Nanjing paused slightly at his feet, and within a moment, he walked out as if nothing happened!
But after he went out, Ji Nanjing quickly changed his face. He lost his dissolute air and became serious and serious in an instant!
After Ji Nanjing walked a few steps, he suddenly lowered his head and straightened his robe: Why is the white robe bad?
Anyway... when killing people
At that time, the white robe was rarely stained with blood, right?
In the evening, the emperor's imperial decree arrived at Baifu again!
This time, it’s an imperial edict to prepare for marriage! It was stated that the emperor had already asked Qin Tianjian to calculate the auspicious day, and when the spring comes and the flowers bloom next year, he would hold a wedding for Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi.
Such an imperial edict is not only an important event for the Bai family! Even the entire capital city was in shock! Previously, those high-ranking families were still skeptical, thinking that the Bai family would not be able to survive this time. Who knew that things would turn around again!
For a time, everyone in the capital secretly speculated on what means this Miss Bai used to make the emperor change his mind!
But Bai Yanqing knew very well that it was not her who could make the emperor change his mind, but... the blood relationship between Yunqi and the emperor, father and son!
The emperor's imperial edict was entirely based on Yun Qi's face, and could not be obtained by Bai Yanqing's kowtow!
But no matter what, Bai Yanqing's marriage to Yun Qi, if nothing unexpected happens, can be considered completely settled!
Along with the emperor's decree, there are also meals from Qingfenglou! It was so full that it contained a carriage-load of food boxes!
When the people from Qingfeng Tower brought a dozen food boxes into the Bai Mansion, Bai Yanqing was so shocked that she was dumbfounded!
Obviously when they came back in the afternoon, Bai Yanqing had already brought back several exquisite dishes for the elders in the mansion! Now, Ji Nanjing sent someone to bring so many dishes. Why?
But in the end, Bai Junzhi and Cai Xing couldn't hold back the joy, so Bai Yanqing didn't investigate in detail why Ji Nanjing suddenly ordered someone to bring so many dishes!
"That's good. The cook in our house can take a break again!"
Li Qinru looked at the large table of dishes and couldn't help laughing and joking.
"Follow my sister and you will have meat to eat! Thinking about it this way, I made a wise decision back then!"
Lai Bizhi looked at the servants coming in and out with food boxes, and suddenly smiled and said.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Lai Bizhi suddenly felt that it was a bit disappointing for him to say these words at this time!
Bai Yanqing didn't take it seriously at all. She slowly walked to Lai Bizhi and Bai Furong's mother and daughter.
"When I enter the palace today, I heard the maids in the palace discuss it privately. They said that this is Empress Li, who is more than four months old. The emperor loves her very much. Don't worry, aunt, she will take good care of herself."
Although Bai Yanqing was very unhappy with Lai Feiyan, she was born to Bai Furong after all, and the blood relationship could not be broken.
When Bai Yanqing first heard such news, she just scoffed, but she knew...Bai Furong must really want to know.
The New Year is here, and on this day of family reunion, only Lai Feiyan is missing! Bai Yanqing knew that Bai Furong must be feeling uncomfortable.
"Yan Qing, thank you!"
Bai Furong's trembling hands tightly held Bai Yanqing's white hands. Perhaps she used too much force, because Bai Yanqing's hand she grabbed turned slightly red.
"Aunt, if you continue to hold on, my hands will become useless!"
Bai Yanqing joked with a smile.
Seeing this, Bai Furong quickly let go of Bai Yanqing's hand with embarrassment.
Bai Yanqing is not a saint, she cannot forgive Lai Feiyan. But Lai Feiyan, after all, is Bai Furong's biological daughter who has loved her for many years. Bai Yanqing has no right to stop Bai Furong from missing and caring about her daughter. This is all Bai Yanqing can do.
Yunqi didn't show up during dinner, so he must have been busy with other things.
The table full of dishes dazzled everyone!
Only Bai Jingxuan's face changed slightly when he saw the dishes on the table, but when he saw the younger members of the family looking so happy, he couldn't say anything to disappoint him.
"Father, is grandma... feeling better lately?"
Before eating, Bai Yanqing suddenly spoke and asked Bai Jingxuan.
Hearing this, Bai Jingxuan was stunned.
Bai Yanqing returned home yesterday and did not mention the Ren family, and Bai Jingxuan also tacitly agreed not to mention it. The father and daughter are also very avoidant about the topic of Ren, and no one has ever taken the initiative to mention her! But for some reason, Bai Yanqing suddenly brought it up!
"She...has gotten better recently..."
Bai Jingxuan frowned slightly and replied, he had no idea what Bai Yanqing's intention was when he asked Ren this time.
"That's not bad. It seems that Aunt Shen's service is quite appropriate."
Bai Yanqing nodded, and then said with a slight smile.
that's all?
Bai Jingxuan looked at Bai Yanqing blankly. For a moment, he seemed to feel that he... didn't recognize this daughter!
"Today's dishes are so rich. Please come back and pick some soft, delicious, easy-to-digest dishes and send them to grandma!"
Bai Yanqing continued to speak.
Everyone thought they had heard wrongly, and they all showed expressions of disbelief! Everyone knows how much Bai Yanqing resented the Ren family before. After all... the hatred of mother-killing is irreconcilable!
"What? Is there something on my face? Why are you all staring at me?"
Bai Yanqing took out the handkerchief and pretended to wipe it. In fact, she was like a mirror in her heart. How could she not know what others were thinking?
"How could it be? Has my sister ever had her appearance ruined?"
Cai Xing spoke at the right time to smooth things over.
Bai Yanqing smiled. At this time, only Cai Xing dared to speak. Are you so terrible? Scared them so much that none of them dared to say a word?
"Father, if you don't open your mouth and let everyone sit down, these delicacies will go cold!"
Bai Yanqing tilted her head and made a few soft sounds of her little daughter's voice. Bai Jingxuan's thoughts were instantly brought back to reality.
The girl's delicate appearance caught Bai Jingxuan's eyes. Once upon a time, she was still a girl who would follow Ji Jinchu and Bai Jingxuan and sweetly call "Mother, Daddy...".
In the blink of an eye, how many years have passed? That soft, cute and innocent girl has grown so big without even realizing it?
"Father……"
Seeing Bai Jingxuan looking at her in a daze, Bai Yanqing couldn't help but call out again.
The sound of "Father" instantly brought Bai Jingxuan's thoughts back!
Father, what a strange and polite name. Bai Jingxuan felt a little sour in his heart.
"Let's have a dinner!"
After Bai Jingxuan came to his senses, he hurriedly spoke and called everyone to sit down. After all, he is the head of the family, and if he doesn't ask, others can't eat without permission.
"Why don't you see Aunt An today?"
Bai Yanqing lowered his head, his eyes never leaving his rice bowl. He asked casually, seemingly unintentionally.
"Aunt An said she wanted to leave the house at noon today because she had something to do."
Li Qinru answered.
Aunt An's identity is different in the White House. She is not restricted by others in the White House. Therefore, if she wants to leave the house, no one dares to stop her.
"Well, that's it!"
Bai Yanqing nodded, indicating that he heard it.
Aunt An is used to being alone. Now, even when Bai Yanqing wants to find her, she may not be able to find her in time! But... when she wanted to find Bai Yanqing, she suddenly came back and disappeared!
