Chapter 103: The prince was defeated

Views:

Xiao Yichen rolled his eyes at Bai Mo, with an expression of "what do you care about me?", and after a while he said: "Hey, I envy you for being able to eat and sleep whenever you want, without having any worries. I have too many things that I cannot control..."

Today was really a surprise. It was rare that Ji Lingxue tried to please him. He was so ecstatic that he accidentally ate too much. It was hard for him to refuse his beloved concubine's kindness.

Bai Mo said, "Miss Yiyun was quite frightened that day. I heard that she is still sick. Why don't you go see her?" He raised his eyebrows and a gossipy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, waiting for Xiao Yichen's answer.

Xiao Yichen looked at Bai Mo with contempt and said, "I think you should go see Miss Yiyun." You are a doctor, if you don't go, who will

Bai Mo shrugged and said, "Of course I went to see him. He has a heart disease, and heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine."

Xiao Yichen had an expression of "what does it have to do with me", and the next moment he thought of something and said, "Tomorrow you will accompany me to the West City Gate for a walk."

Bai Mo asked, "What are you going there for?"

Xiao Yichen said: "There are delicious foods, why don't you go and have a look?"

Bai Mo's eyes lit up, revealing his true nature as a foodie. "Haha, really? What time are you going tomorrow so I can come find you... It's a bit late tonight, so I won't go back. I'll just stay at your palace. You have plenty of vacancies anyway."

Xiao Yichen watched silently as Bai Mo carried his medicine box and went to his room to sleep. He looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky and sighed. He decided to not eat too much of the food, no matter how delicious it was. Overeating would have bad consequences.

In Ji Lingxue's room, Ruge was proudly telling Ji Lingxue the gossip she had overheard, and even exaggerated the incident to reconstruct it.

Ruge said, "Your prince is really a romantic man. When the Divine Doctor Bai Mo just said that Miss Yiyun was frightened after falling into the water and is still sick, your prince was so nervous that he even said he would prepare some supplements for the Divine Doctor Mo Bai to send to Miss Yiyun."

Ji Lingxue frowned and looked up and down at Ruge, who was beaming with joy, "Are you sure that Xiao Yichen said that?" It was strange that he liked Yiyun so much, why didn't he bring Yiyun into the palace and make her a concubine

Ruge patted her chest and said, "What I heard is not true. Don't you know what kind of person your prince is?"

"Then what is Yiyun's identity?" Ji Lingxue asked again.

Ruge said, "I have investigated for you. Yiyun is just a merchant's daughter who likes poetry. Your prince saved her life."

Ji Lingxue blinked, as if there was quite a story behind this wish, "How did you know?"

Ruge said, "I went to the teahouse this afternoon to listen to a story. That's what the storyteller said."

Ji Lingxue was upset. Could you believe these exaggerated stories told by the storyteller? But that Yiyun was really insidious. I hope to teach her a lesson after the incident at Wangyue Lake last time. She has no objection to being Xiao Yichen's woman, but don't plot against her.

Seeing Ji Lingxue in deep thought, Ruge shook her head. Women, if they say they don’t care, it’s all fake. Look, she’s worried about Evian’s matter again...

The next day, Ji Lingxue got up early and stretched in the yard. From afar, she could smell the faint scent of tea wafting from the flowers.

Following the scent, I saw Xiao Yichen sitting under a blossoming tree in a white robe, with green leaves and a breeze, and a handsome man like a painting. Ji Lingxue raised her eyebrows, noticing that Xiao Yichen liked to wear a white robe every time he had a day off.

Xiao Yichen turned around and glanced at Ji Lingxue who was standing there with emotion, "Would you like a cup of tea?"

Ji Lingxue shook her head. She didn’t have the habit of drinking green tea on an empty stomach for fear of upsetting her stomach.

Ji Lingxue raised her hands above her head to do stretching exercises, and did not forget to reply: "No, I'm losing weight."

Xiao Yichen glanced at Ji Lingxue again and said, "Well, your waist is a bit thick and needs to be reduced."

Ji Lingxue bared her teeth and rolled her eyes at the sky. How could her waist be thick? It was obviously very well-proportioned.

Ji Lingxue was very relaxed and found a topic to talk about. "Your Majesty is taking a day off today. What are you going to do?"

Xiao Yichen took a sip of tea and said, "I am going to the West City Restaurant with someone better to taste the food. Do you want to come with us?"

Ji Lingxue naturally knew who Xiao Yichen had made an appointment with. Thinking of what Ruge said last night, she immediately turned her originally intended refusal into, "Okay, I dare not disobey the prince's invitation." After a pause, Ji Lingxue added, "Why not bring your sister along."

Xiao Yichen asked, "Are you two sisters reconciled?" You were fighting each other for a while and couldn't stand each other. This woman changes her face so quickly...

Ji Lingxue said: "We are all sisters living under the same roof, there is no need for so much hatred." Having said that, Ji Lingxue added in her heart: Just don't plot against me, I'm an easy person to get along with.

Xiao Yichen looked at Ji Lingxue with a half-smile, and saw her turn her body to a right angle. He smiled and said, "I am very pleased that the princess thinks so."

When Ji Yuqing heard that Xiao Yichen was going to take her out, she was overjoyed for a while, and urged Zi Ye to comb a beautiful bun for her. She wanted to outdo Ji Lingxue today.

Zi Ye combed her hair in silence, and after a quarter of an hour she asked, "Concubine, which set of jewelry are you going to wear today?"

Ji Yuqing thought for a moment and said, "Let's wear the one with jade and pearls." Then she took it out from the pillow and asked Zi Ye to put it on her. Although Zi Ye was puzzled as to why Ji Yuqing hid the jewelry in the pillow, she always kept her doubts to herself and worked hard.

Ji Yuqing, who was dressed neatly, turned around with satisfaction and walked out with her skirt lifted. As soon as she reached the gate of the palace, she bumped into Ji Lingxue and Mo Xiang. Ji Lingxue was wearing a blue and yellow skirt with white feather butterflies embroidered on the hem. With every step she took, the hem of her skirt fluttered like a butterfly spreading its wings.

Ji Yuqing was in a good mood today and was too lazy to target Ji Lingxue. She took the initiative to step aside and let Ji Lingxue go out first. She followed behind obediently, acting like a concubine.

"Your Highness!" The two girls stood in front of the carriage and saluted Xiao Yichen who was in the carriage.

Through the curtains, Xiao Yichen hummed and said, "Qing'er, you take the carriage at the back, Xue'er, you get in."

After Xiao Yichen finished speaking, Ji Yuqing looked at Ji Lingxue with envy. It was her sister who made the prince happy. "

Ji Lingxue looked indifferent and was too lazy to reply to Ji Yuqing. She just responded and when she passed by Ji Yuqing, she looked at the pearl hairpin on Ji Yuqing's head a few more times and then got into the car.

As soon as Ji Lingxue got in the car, she met Mo Bai's gaze. Ji Lingxue glanced at Xiao Yichen and said, "Your Highness, it turns out there are distinguished guests in the car. The car is a bit crowded. I'd better go in the same carriage with my sister." After that, she stepped out.

Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth and clenched his hands on his knees into fists. He was kind enough to give her a comfortable carriage to sit in, but she didn't appreciate it.

Bai Mo chuckled. It was rare that Xiao Yichen would be embarrassed sometimes.

Xiao Yichen turned his head to the side and glared at Bai Mo. Bai Mo quickly suppressed the smile on his face, but the corners of his mouth kept trembling, looking like he was having a seizure.

Xiao Yichen asked: "Is there something on my face?"

Bai Mo shook his head, trying to make his expression look more serious, "Nothing, I just thought of a joke, and suddenly I felt like laughing." Naturally he would not admit that he was making fun of Xiao Yichen, otherwise he would probably lose their friendship.

Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows and seemed to be interested in the conversation, "Oh, what's the joke? Tell me about it."

Bai Mo tried hard to search his mind, and finally thought of one, so he said: "Yesterday I heard a scholar say that there are four strange things on rainy days: if it rains, there will be no umbrella, if you buy an umbrella, the rain will stop, if you go out, your umbrella will be lost, and if you bring an umbrella, it will be sunny. Haha, don't you think it's funny?"

Xiao Yichen had a stern face without a trace of smile. Bai Mo laughed dryly twice, scratched his head and turned to outside the car.

On the other side, Ji Lingxue got on the carriage where Ji Yuqing was. Ji Yuqing raised her eyebrows and said, "Why isn't my sister with the prince? Did she have a quarrel with the prince?"

The thing Ji Yuqing wanted to see most was Ji Lingxue and Xiao Yichen having a quarrel, but she still pretended to care.

Ji Lingxue smiled and shook her head, "No, there are distinguished guests in the prince's carriage, and I felt crowded, so I came to sit with my sister."

Ji Yuqing's attention was all on the distinguished guest in Xiao Yichen's carriage. She was very curious, but Ji Lingxue just didn't mention who the distinguished guest was.

The car moved forward slowly and soon passed a street market. From time to time, the sounds of hawking came into Ji Lingxue's ears. She lifted the curtain and asked the driver to stop.

Ji Yuqing frowned, and seeing that Xiao Yichen's luxurious nanmu carriage was about to disappear from sight, she couldn't help but said anxiously: "Sister, why did you stop the car? The prince has left."

Ji Lingxue held her stomach and said aggrievedly: "I have to go to the bathroom. Does my sister want me to do it in the carriage?"

Ji Yuqing was speechless and looked at Ji Lingxue with disdain, "Then sister, please go and come back soon."

Ji Lingxue nodded and got off the carriage with Mo Xiang. Not long after they walked, Ji Lingxue turned around and saw that Ji Yuqing had already ordered the coachman to drive away.

Mo Xiang said: "Why is Concubine Qing like this? She didn't even wait for us."

Ji Lingxue said, "What are you afraid of? They will come back to pick us up. Let's go. I haven't been out shopping for a long time. I have a lot of things I want to buy. It would be uncomfortable if they were around."

Mo Xiang was pulled forward by Ji Lingxue, and soon they stood in front of the popcorn. With a loud bang, the oven that had just been roasting on the fire exploded, and the white popcorn with a strong aroma drifted into Ji Lingxue's nose. Ji Lingxue clapped her hands and said, "Boss, I want a pound."

Mo Xiang pulled Ji Lingxue's arm and whispered, "Princess, what is this? Can I eat it?"

Ji Lingxue said: "There are a hundred thousand households in Wumen to the east, and every household is eating popcorn to predict their good years. The golden millet is put into the pot and turned into white jade flowers in the next hand. The pretty girls predict happy events, and the white-haired old men ask about their lives. In the morning, the sons are dressed up and a few plum blossoms are inserted in their temples." She had only seen it in books, and she happened to see it today, so she got off the car to buy it.

Fan Chengda recorded in Wujunzhi·Customs: "During the Lantern Festival, ... glutinous rice is fried in a pot, which is called Bolou, also known as rice flower."

The old man making popcorn laughed and said, "This popcorn is so crispy and delicious. You will never forget it after you have tasted it." He had already put it in a cloth bag and weighed it before handing it to Ji Lingxue. "Miss, three taels of silver. If you bring your own rice to make popcorn in the future, it will be cheaper."

Ji Lingxue took the cloth bag, opened it, grabbed a handful and tasted it, then said with a smile, "It's delicious, Mo Xiang, you should have some too."

A big hand reached into the bag before Mo Xiang...
