Blinking his eyes, Xiaoman looked at Li Jiaqi and said, "The entrance to the palace is so big, you can do whatever you want. If you want to wait, then wait."
Seeing that Xiaoman did not object, Li Jiaqi was full of gratitude. Qin Cheng frowned and wanted to say something. He looked at Xiaoman worriedly, and Xiaoman seemed to understand what Qin Cheng meant.
"He's waiting outside the door. He won't cause us any trouble. By the way, the Bai family is in the third yard next door. You can go to the Bai family and see Bai Jing if you have nothing to do."
"After all, she's your fiancée. You don't want to be taken away by someone else. That would be quite pitiful!"
Qin Cheng wanted to say something, but Xiaoman didn't listen and turned away. Qin Cheng had no choice but to leave the palace with Li Jiaqi.
When they arrived at the door, Li Jiaqi actually waited at the door and didn't go anywhere. Qin Cheng looked at him: "Are you really going to wait here? What if Miss Jiang doesn't see you?"
Li Jiaqi gritted her teeth and said, "I will wait here forever. I don't believe Tianxiang is so cruel! Brother Qin, you don't have to worry about me. Just do your own thing."
Qin Cheng looked at Li Jiaqi's insistence. Xiaoman also said that he would not bring her any trouble, so he naturally did not care about anything else. He just sighed and left.
Li Jiaqi did not leave, and the news waiting outside the door was soon told to Xiaoman. Siqi sighed and looked at Xiaoman; "County Lady, I think that Li Jiaqi is really infatuated."
"No matter how Aunt Xiang's identity changes, he is so sincere to Aunt Xiang. This servant can't understand Aunt Xiang. There is such a good man for her."
"What is she still hesitating about? You said she is so outstanding, and she has the support of the county lady and the palace, why doesn't she dare to take that step boldly?"
"It's wonderful for lovers to love their spouses."
Listening to Siqi's words, Xiaoman smiled and said, "Aunt Xiang is just feeling inferior and has no confidence. She doesn't dare to believe that Li Jiaqi really just likes her."
"Do you really think that someone as smart as Aunt Xiang would not know what she represents now? The more so, the more cautious she is. I admire her."
"But you are right. This county lady also likes lovers to get married. Since Aunt Xiang is worried, let's think of a way to confirm Li Jiaqi's true feelings."
"Let's see if Li Jiaqi will change his mind if there is a better choice."
Siqi was stunned for a moment. What else could Siqi do? But what was the better choice? Siqi's mind was still a little confused, and Xiaoman had already spoken.
"Go call Bai Jia over to me. I have something for her to do."
Siqi said "oh" and set off quickly. Bai Jia and Bai Zhen happened to be at home, so they followed Siqi out. When they reached the door, they glanced at Li Jiaqi.
"Siqi, who is this? Why are you waiting here? Are you here to pay your respects to the county lady?"
Siqi smiled and began to explain about Li Jiaqi's situation. Bai Jia couldn't help but sigh that there were such infatuated men in this world.
But it is true that the current King Bingxiang and Prime Minister Gu are both good and devoted men. It seems that there are still many good men.
When they arrived in the hall, Xiaoman was drinking tea. Seeing Baizhen and Baijia coming, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why didn't you go out today? Are you all at home?"
Hearing this, it was obvious that Bai Zhen knew their whereabouts in the past few days. She smiled and said, "Of course, they went out. They even ran into the second young lady of the Qi family!"
"She also said that the eldest daughter of the Qi family is also engaged, but I don't know who she is engaged to."
Xiaoman raised her eyebrows and thought of the news sent back by Bai Shang. The two sisters of the Qi family had fallen out this time because of the marriage. In other words, the fiancé of the eldest Miss Qi was very unusual.
Thinking of this, Xiaoman just smiled and said, "Well, why bother yourself with other people's affairs? Since you don't know, if you want to know, just ask around."
When she said this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. The Qi family must have played a big role in taking action against the Chen family. If the Qi family wants to be stable, it depends on whether she agrees.
Recently, the harem has been in turmoil because Concubine Wan was demoted and confined. The emperor is also trying every means to coax the queen, although the queen does not appreciate it.
Thinking of the stupid things the emperor had done during this period, Xiaoman still wanted to laugh. Soon Xiaoman restrained these emotions and looked at Bai Zhen and Bai Jia: "Do you know why I asked you to come here?"
Bai Zhen and Bai Jia shook their heads: "I don't know, does the county lady have any instructions?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "There is one thing, but it may affect your reputation. I wonder if you are willing to do it? Speaking of which, you have also seen the person waiting outside."
"It's not a good look to stand at the gate of the palace like this. Besides, Aunt Xiang doesn't want to see him, and I can't go against her wishes."
"And I also want to know if Li Jiaqi is really devoted to Aunt Xiang. If so, I can help her."
"If not, that would be interesting!"
Bai Zhen and Bai Jia looked at each other and said, "It is our sisters' duty to share the worries of the county lady. I am the elder sister, so I will take care of this matter!"
Bai Zhen watched her sister speak, but she didn't say anything. She had other ideas in her mind, but she didn't tell anyone. She waited for Xiaoman to finish speaking.
Just as he left with Bai Jia, and just as he was leaving the palace, Bai Jia was thinking about what the man in front of him was like and how to approach him!
I was still daydreaming when I suddenly heard a voice: "I'm sorry."
When he looked up, he saw that his sister had accidentally bumped into Li Jiaqi. When she looked up, her face was flushed.
Bai Jia was startled and walked over: "You..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard Bai Zhen speak: "Thank you very much, sir. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen. Who are you?"
Li Jiaqi frowned. These two women had just been brought to the palace by Siqi. Maybe they had a relationship with the county lord and could say a good word for him!
Seeing that Li Jiaqi was silent, Bai Zhen started talking: "My name is Bai Zhen. I live next door. I am from the Bai family."
"If you don't mind, please go to the Bai family and have a seat."
The corner of Li Jiaqi's mouth twitched. He had just been thinking about asking her to say something good about him, but he was really shocked to see Bai Zhen being so open.
"Miss, you are joking. I just did a little favor. It's not worth mentioning. I still have to wait for my fiancée to come out, so I won't bother you."
As she said this, she actually stood aside, which made Bai Zhen look furious: "You, you simply don't know what is good for you. Do you know that many young masters have been trying to curry favor with me recently?"
"Do you think I am interested in you? I just see you standing here alone and looking pitiful. Humph! You don't know what's good for you!"
After he finished speaking, he walked away. Seeing this, Bai Jia couldn't help but sigh and looked at Li Jiaqi: "Sir, I'm so sorry. My sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and her temper is a bit spoiled."
Li Jiaqi waved her hand and said, "It's okay. It's getting late. Miss, you should go back quickly!"
After listening to this, Bai Jia felt that Li Jiaqi was a gentleman, so he turned around and left. When he returned to the Bai family, he saw Bai Zhen still looking angry.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes: "What are you doing? The county lady has already handed this matter over to me."
Bai Zhen snorted; "What else can I do? Of course I will protect you. Don't worry, this way we can see the true face of Li Jiaqi."
"It won't damage our sisters' reputations. Let me tell you, if that Li Jiaqi is really hypocritical, she will finally agree to marry me or you."
"I also have a way to destroy him and let everyone know that he just wanted to get close to us because he helped me today!"
Bai Jia was speechless when she saw Bai Zhen had found a way out. On the other side of the palace, Siqi also came to Aunt Xiang's yard.
"Aunt Xiang, are you there?"
Aunt Xiang came out and said, "Yes, it's Miss Siqi. What instructions does the county lady have?"
Siqi shook her head: "Oh, that's not the case. It's all about Master Li. Master Li didn't leave. He has been waiting for you at the gate of the palace! Oh, and the two young ladies from the Bai family came over just now."
"Looking at Master Li, it seems that he is quite interested in Master Li. Don't you want to pay attention to him?"
Aunt Xiang suddenly felt bitter in her heart. Since Li Jiaqi was good-looking, it was possible that she would be valued by more noble people.
It was just what she thought, but she couldn't stop feeling sad. Siqi couldn't bear to see Aunt Xiang like this: "Look at you, you feel sad!"
"I know you still have feelings for Master Li. If you like him, why bother about so much? As long as you are sure that Master Li truly loves you, there is no difficulty that we cannot face together!"
That's what she said, but Aunt Xiang was not sure, is Li Jiaqi really sincere to her? Siqi looked at Aunt Xiang's silence, feeling a little helpless.
But it was not good to say anything else, so she turned around and left. At night, it started to rain heavily, and Aunt Xiang felt a little uneasy.
I thought Li Jiaqi would definitely leave by now, but I wasn't sure, and I hesitated, should I go to the door to take a look
At this time, Li Jiaqi at the door did not leave, but wanted to go under the eaves of the palace to avoid the rain. However, the rain was too heavy, even under the eaves.
There was no way to hide from the rain, so Li Jiaqi had to resign himself to waiting. But suddenly, he saw a figure in the rain, dressed in white and holding an umbrella.
She walked towards him and saw that it was Bai Zhen whom she had just met today. Bai Zhen looked down at Li Jiaqi and said, "So, you didn't listen to me and you got yourself into trouble, you drowned chicken!"
