Because of the friendliness of Huayuan Ziwei and Huayuan Jiangque towards the white pillow, no one at the banquet talked too much about this new family member on the bright side. After all, Huayuan Jiangque has no title to inherit, and it has no effect on anyone.
The etiquette of the white pillow is very good, even in the middle of a group of nobles, it is not abrupt at all. The atmosphere at the table was very harmonious, and most of the discussions were about innocuous issues.
Someone became curious about the white pillow, and asked some questions casually and politely.
"It turned out to be the hero of the Battle of Hezhou. No wonder he was favored by Uncle Jiangjia."
The name of the white pillow is not in the list of martyrs.
The white pillow was a little ashamed, and said modestly: "It's not something that can be called a hero, I'm just fulfilling the duty of a soldier."
Humility is a matter of etiquette, which is normal, but just when White Pillow said these words, Her Royal Highness suddenly put down the tableware, her face was ashen, and she looked extremely unhappy.
Bai Zhen looked over subconsciously, and then her heart skipped a beat at her angry gaze.
Did you say something wrong? No, not at all. The only thing that is clear is that she was completely hated by His Highness.
"Mom?" Hua Baihuang looked at his mother suspiciously, and finally made Hua Mu realize his gaffe.
"I'm sorry..." She apologized with a tired expression, "I'm not feeling well, I want to rest first."
Hua Tuo took a sigh of relief and said with understanding, "If you're not feeling well, go to rest first."
Huayuan Ziwei was a little nervous, "Are you tired? Do you want to call a doctor?"
Hua Mu reluctantly smiled and said, "It's alright, just take a night's rest."
Naturally, the Queen's body is more important. The Queen and the host are so nervous, and the others are also concerned.
Huayuan Jiangjia is even more direct, letting her proud adopted daughter take on the responsibility of guarding, "In this case, you can send the white pillow to Mumu."
"Don't be so troublesome..."
Hua Mu immediately refused.
"Didn't you give the bodyguard a holiday? How unsafe the road is. Don't worry, the white pillow is very reliable."
Indeed, for the happiness of the two friends and to prevent Bai Qin from seeing the white pillow for the time being, Hua Mu gave her a holiday.
"It's only halfway through dinner, how can you be embarrassed? And the backup guards are also very reliable, so there's really no need to bother... White guard."
Huayuan Jiangjia heard her categorical rejection, but she no longer insisted, but Bai Zhen suddenly stood up and said to Hua Mu, "It's not a troublesome matter, Your Highness, let me see you off."
Hua Mu looked at her for a while, then turned and left without saying a word. The white pillow bowed to everyone and hurriedly chased after him.
"Speaking of... Is the white pillow a bit like Mu Mu's previous guard?" Someone whispered something, someone recalled a little... It was already six years ago.
"His Royal Highness..." The white pillow man had tall legs and long legs, and caught up with Hua Mu effortlessly. However, Hua Mu seemed to want to ignore her completely and walked quickly.
Bai pillow shut his mouth and just silently followed behind her. The queen's dedicated suspension car pays more attention to safety and privacy than luxury. The white pillow followed her into the car, and the back seat became a confined space for the two of them.
The atmosphere became more embarrassing and heavier, and Bai Zhen regretted his impulse at this time. Knowing that the other party hates you, but still following closely, you will definitely be hated even more. So, if there is an apology, it may be the last chance.
"Your Highness..."
Hua Mu was very upset.
Her lover is a well-deserved hero, why should she be denied by a fake? However, looking at the face that was exactly the same as the white pillow, she was completely sure that this was the answer her lover would make.
She felt that she was going crazy, and no matter how much she tried to build her heart, her feelings were still easily affected.
Hua Mu didn't want to pay attention to her, and she didn't even want to maintain the surface courtesy.
The white pillow looked at her sideways face, her courage had already lost most of it. Presumably from nervousness, her left arm began to ache.
The memory of just waking up was terrible, but now I can't recall anything except pain and cold. Since the left arm was originally a mechanical prosthesis, the bionic prosthesis cannot be transplanted until the body is recovered, so the mechanical prosthesis is still installed.
Logically speaking, mechanical prosthetics should not feel pain.
In any case, it can be explained by PTSD, and she accepted it calmly. To be honest, she has been very calm about everything since regaining consciousness.
Except for the recent dealings with the princess - White Pillow faintly felt that perhaps her past had something to do with it.
If you don't apologize this time, you may never have a chance.
"His Royal Highness, if I have offended you in any way, I'm sorry for that." She finally summoned the courage to express her sincere apology to Hua Mu.
Hua Mu's heart that had been numb for many years felt pain again.
"Not because of this... you didn't offend me."
Bai Zhen's expression loosened, and she involuntarily revealed a hint of joy.
"I just simply hate you, for no other special reason."
Yes, she hates this white pillow. It made her feel the pain again, made her understand her weakness again, and repeatedly challenged her mind, made her sway, and gave birth to a heart of hope.
This is just Huazheng's test for her, a blasphemy to her and the white pillow.
The hover car quickly arrived at the gate of the palace, but the white pillow felt like a century had passed in the silence. But in such a depressing atmosphere, and there was a faint pain in her heart, she couldn't help but secretly pray that the journey would be longer.
After saying those words, His Highness's expression was so sad that she didn't even have time to mourn for herself.
The white pillow got out of the car and didn't seem to be shaken by Hua Mu's words just now, "Your Highness, please take care of your health."
The door closed silently, and Hua Mu finally couldn't help crying while covering her face.
It's painful enough to go through it once, why let her go through it again
The New Year of the Empire has arrived.
Lively celebrations, holiday carnivals, and the much-anticipated civilian meeting. In addition to the Queen, the Queen has also attended meetings in recent years. The appearance of the two little princes has attracted enough attention, and the appearances that are very different from the traditional image of the royal family have also caused extensive discussion.
Because the characteristics are too obvious, many "network experts" have started long-winded research activities, some of which sound quite reasonable.
After the daytime celebrations, there was a grand evening hosted by the royal family, and parts of the palace were opened to the public.
Of course, unlike the gatherings held by ordinary nobles, the security measures are stricter tonight, and every guest must go through a full-body security scan. As the de facto host, Hua Mu was not able to relax his vigilance for a moment, and even greeted the guests at the entrance of the hall in person.
Hua Mu was wearing a burgundy dress with a demure posture, and her long white-blond hair was neatly placed behind her head, showing the intellectual elegance of a mature woman. Royal family members, government officials, and heads of major families, remember that these people are only the basis for heirs. She briefly greeted the guests and assigned a waiter to lead the way.
Just when Hua Mu finished receiving Shen Shiming's family, a slight commotion suddenly came from the security check outside the hall. She heard the sound of the security alarm, and although it stopped quickly, it seemed that some guests were stopped by the security team.
Security is the most critical issue, and the guests invited at night are all VIPs, so it is natural to check it out in person in this case.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Hua Mu temporarily handed over the work of welcoming guests to Hua Manman beside him, and walked to the security check. As a guard, Bai Jin had been in the dark all the time, and he was very alert to catch up.
The people who were stopped were surprising.
The tall and beautiful woman wore a purple-black dress that she would never choose on weekdays. Outside the dress was a fine velvet shawl of the same color. The bare slender neck was as graceful as a swan, and a precious blue gemstone quietly fell between her two straight and flat collarbones.
The long black hair like a crow's feather, the delicate skin that is slightly darker, the deep face that has been sculpted, and the dark eyes like ink make her look full of exotic and mysterious amorous feelings.
The white pillow has changed from the simple and capable dress on weekdays, but in just a few minutes of standing here, it has already attracted countless attention.
"I'm sorry, it was my negligence. My left arm was injured before, so I temporarily replaced it with a mechanical prosthesis. This should have triggered the alarm."
She looked very calm, but she was a little restrained. This restraint did not come from fear and panic, but only because she was wearing a dress for the first time in memory.
The staff checked the identification and the invitation letter, and their attitude was not offensive, but they were very cautious.
"Although the medical records are verified to be correct, we still have to carry out more detailed inspections. You can rest assured that the physical examination will not delay you too much time. I will arrange for someone to guide you now."
This is a very reasonable request, and White Pillow understands it very well. Although he did not come to the party out of his own volition, it was too suspicious to back down at such a time.
"It's as it should be, and I'm very sorry for the extra work I've caused you because of my mistake."
Immediately, a female staff member came up to lead the way for the white pillow, but at this moment, someone who stopped a little noticed the arrival of the princess.
"Your Highness!"
The people who stayed behind because of the unusual situation and the appearance of the white pillow gave in one after another due to the arrival of the princess in person, and the members of the guard team became nervous because of this, trying to recall whether there was anything wrong with what they had done just now.
More than ten days have passed since that day's family banquet, but Bai Zhen still feels inexplicable heartache when he recalls that sentence. No, the more urgent thing now than the heartache is to get out of the Queen's Highness quickly.
Rather than saying she didn't want to be hated, she didn't want her to get in the way of His Highness.
Hua Mu stared at her intently, with bright green eyes.
The author has something to say: The first thing to restart is, of course, the sleeping yellow train!
