Gu Xiangning looked at Xiaoman: "You haven't told me yet, do you miss me or not?"
Regarding such a persistent Gu Xiangning, Xiaoman felt that she should not even need to be shy, and being shy was really not her style.
Although she was a little shy just now, she rolled her eyes at Gu Xiangning, then threw herself on him and looked at him, "Gu Xiangning, I missed you."
"I miss you so much! Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Who would have thought that Gu Xiangning would catch Xiaoman, but he tilted his head and pressed Xiaoman: "Why do I feel like you are just perfunctorily treating me? Well, I miss you anyway."
Xiaoman was a little amused and said, "I thought you were having a great time in Kyoto by yourself!"
Gu Xiangning was speechless and looked at Xiaoman: "How can I be happy if I am enslaved by the emperor every day, not to mention that I have troubles in Kyoto!"
Xiao Man listened to him talking about his troubles and was somewhat interested: "What's your trouble? Tell me about it. By the way, the emperor is going to select a concubine? When did this happen?"
"I remember that the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress was very good before I came out last time. You didn't write it very clearly in your letter, so you can talk about it later."
Gu Xiangning looked at Xiaoman's gossiping look and sighed: "I know you are worried about the queen, but everyone has their own feelings."
Xiaoman curled her lips when she heard this: "The Queen's situation is not good, right? You came here this time because of this matter, right?"
"The Emperor doesn't look like someone who would be obsessed with sex. What happened in the harem?"
Gu Xiangning sighed: "Speaking of which, I am also confused. If the emperor would give up on you, why would he fall in love with a woman like that?"
A woman like that? This means that this woman is still a woman that Gu Xiangning looks down on. He couldn't help but look at Gu Xiangning curiously: "The more you are like this, the more curious I am."
"What's going on? Who do you favor the most now?"
Gu Xiangning didn't beat around the bush and looked at Xiaoman: "The emperor's favorite woman right now is the queen's sister, Lin Chuwan. The selection is just to allow her to enter the palace openly."
Xiaoman immediately heard the key point: "What do you mean by entering the palace openly? Could it be her?"
Gu Xiangning nodded: "Didn't I tell you last time? That Ren Yu wanted to frame me, so I helped her and the emperor. Who knows what the result would be."
"Before this, the ripe fruits were picked by Lin Chuwan. Now, except for Lin Chuwan, everyone else in the harem is having a hard time, especially the queen."
"Ever since Lin Chuwan entered the palace, the emperor seems to dislike the queen, and even the eldest prince has become estranged. Although I have a good relationship with the emperor."
"But as a subject, I cannot interfere with the emperor's decision about which woman he favors. Of course, it's different if it's the empress dowager."
"So the purpose of my coming this time is to target the Queen Mother. After all, for the Emperor and the eldest prince, that Lin Chuwan is not a good person."
Xiaoman frowned when she heard this: "Did Lin Chuwan attack the eldest prince?"
Gu Xiangning nodded: "Yes, I can still protect her in Kyoto. This time I came out mainly to pick up the Empress Dowager. My sister happened to have something to deal with, so I'll deal with it first."
Xiaoman frowned: "Now that things are settled here, I will go back with you. Is that Lin Chuwan really that powerful? I will go back and take a look at her then."
"The country has just been established and a seductress has appeared!"
Hearing this, Gu Xiangning frowned and looked at Xiaoman, thinking that she and the queen had a deep relationship, and that the emperor always showed special indulgence to Xiaoman.
Maybe this situation really needs Xiaoman to break it! Touching Xiaoman's face, "Have you had any fun playing outside recently?"
Interesting things? Xiaoman smiled and told Gu Xiangning about what happened to her after she came out, including Qin Cheng's things.
It's just that Xiaoman said that she particularly hated Qin Cheng. While the two of them were talking, they actually forgot the time. Xiaoman became a little sleepy and looked at the sky outside.
It was already bright. Xiaoman blinked and looked at Gu Xiangning: "Look at you, you made me sleepless all night. Go and get some rest."
"We've been traveling for so long, hurry up, I need to rest too, wait until the evening, and then you can tell your sister about your arrival."
Gu Xiangning had no objection to this and prepared to go to rest. However, before he left Xiaoman's room, he was suddenly startled by a knock on the door.
Bang, bang, bang... "Please open the door, County Lady. I'm Bai Jing, and I need your help with something."
Inside the room, Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning looked at each other. Based on Xiaoman's narration, Gu Xiangning still felt that he didn't know enough about Bai Jing.
But at this moment, Gu Xiangning felt that he understood. This Bai Jing was really a very daring woman. She even dared to knock on Xiaoman's door.
After coughing twice, Xiaoman covered her lips instantly, not making any sound. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Xiangning: "Get out of there."
Pointing to the open window, Gu Xiangning nodded and went out through the window. Xiaoman then walked over to open the door and looked at Bai Jing standing in front of her.
"What are you doing so early in the morning? Are you going to tear down the door of my room?"
Bai Jing looked at Xiaoman a little embarrassedly: "That's not the case. I'm just anxious. By the way, County Lord, are you a great cook?"
"I shouldn't be inferior to my senior sister, can you teach me?"
Xiaoman raised her eyebrows: "So you came to me so anxiously, just to let me teach you cooking, you..."
Xiaoman stopped here and thought about what to say. She really didn't know how to describe Bai Jing, so she sighed.
"My cooking skills are pretty good, indeed almost as good as my sister's, but why should I teach you?"
After saying that, Xiaoman closed the door directly: "Also, stop knocking on the door, I want to rest!"
Bai Jing was locked outside the door and was dumbfounded for a moment. She had never thought that Xiaoman would refuse! But now that she refused, what should she do
I raised my hand to knock on the door again, but then I remembered what Xiaoman said, don't knock on the door. Xiaoman was clearly dressed, so why was she still sleeping
I walked out angrily, thinking in my heart, is it possible that I have to go find Qingye? Actually, there is nothing else, so I will go find Qingye first.
When they arrived at the gate of Qian Jiujiu's yard, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had just got up not long ago. Seeing Bai Jing coming so early, they were both confused.
Bai Jing smiled at the two of them and said, "Sister Princess, Brother-in-law Prince, good morning."
Qian Jiujiu laughed: "What kind of address are you giving me? Good morning, why are you coming to our yard so early? Is there anything going on?"
Bai Jing was very embarrassed, but she still spoke up: "It's like this, my father started to dislike me in various ways after he ate the food you cooked yesterday."
"You said I didn't cook well and asked me to learn how to cook from you. Then I thought, aren't you going to take care of my mother? Will you have time?"
"I just went to see Lady Xiaoman and wanted her to teach me, but she didn't want to and she just closed the door. She was dressed so neatly and had obviously gotten up, but she insisted that she wanted to sleep."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Bai Jing with amusement: "Maybe she didn't sleep at night! Well, if you want to learn cooking, I can teach you."
"But I really don't have much time, and I don't cook every day. After all, Qingye prepares my meals every day."
When talking about Qingye, Bai Jing thought about it and thought that Qingye would not refuse to teach her. Thinking of this, Bai Jing made up her mind: "Why not let Qingye teach me?"
Qian Jiujiu was stunned for a second before answering: "Qingye seems to be busier than me recently, busy with preparing potions. Why don't you go find Xiaoman?"
No matter what, Qingye is the most favored maidservant around Qian Jiujiu, but she is still just a maidservant. What's more, Qingye really has a lot of things to do.
If Bai Jing didn't cooperate at that time, it would delay Qingye's business as well as her own business, so Qian Jiujiu decisively refused.
Bai Jing felt very sad. She was rejected by the county lady and the maid. Although the princess did not refuse, she did not cook at all recently.
In other words, I was rejected! I was rejected by three people in a row early in the morning! I felt so sad, but I was even more heartbroken by what my father said.
But it was also a good medicine to spur her on, so Bai Jing soon became energetic again: "Okay, then I'll go find the county lady. I'll go in the afternoon. She'll be awake in the afternoon anyway."
Qian Jiujiu nodded and looked at Bai Jing with admiration: "Come on, I believe you can do it too."
Bai Jing smiled and said, "Well, I believe that my cooking skills will improve."
Listening to Bai Jing's words, Qian Jiujiu thought of Luka's requirements for her. Bai Jing was Luka's daughter, so she was afraid that the requirements would be even stricter.
He couldn't help but look at Bai Jing with sympathy: "Have you had breakfast yet? If not, let's go together?"
Bai Jing shook her head: "No, I have something else to do with Qin Cheng first, I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, she turned around and left. She came in a hurry and left in the same way. Qian Jiujiu curled her lips. This Bai Jing seemed like a person who came with her own appearance effect.
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "This Bai Jing is really interesting. I'm afraid she will fall into Xiaoman's hands this time. Anyway, I have never seen her before."
"Who doesn't suffer at Xiaoman's hands? Except you, my lady."
Qian Jiujiu chuckled: "Of course, who am I? Of course I won't suffer any loss at the hands of Xiaoman, but it's a good thing for Bai Jing to be trained by Xiaoman."
"I will definitely leave Huadu in the future. With her personality, I'm afraid she will suffer!"
