Spring is a season of continuous spring, rejuvenation of the earth, and revival of all things. Especially in this palace, it is easiest to feel this feeling of spring. The surrounding scenery all embodies the flavor of spring; at the same time, February is also A very busy day.
In February, there is spring in the court, and the birthday of the current emperor Ye Muli is also held in the harem. However, the emperor's birthday is not only a matter for the harem, but also a matter for the court. It is said that the other three countries are not just as simple as sending envoys to deliver gifts. , but the princes and princes from various countries came to celebrate in person.
In fact, if you think more deeply, it is not difficult to guess another purpose of these princes and princes coming to congratulate in person, but no matter what, the capital will not be peaceful for the time being.
Bai Xi's face was pale, but if you look carefully, you will find a trace of annoyance in her eyes. However, she was not annoyed that Ye Muli wanted her to go to the palace early in the morning to play chess, nor was she annoyed by Feng Ming. The man occupied her bed all night last night, but he was annoyed that she was so spineless that she would obediently take a shower, and finally climbed back into the bed that originally belonged to her but was occupied by someone else. Although nothing happened between them. , but she was also hugged by that person as a bear doll all night. In a word, she has no spine.
"Eh? Isn't that the second young lady of the Bai family?"
"Oh, it's really her. Didn't she say that she worships Buddha devoutly at Foyin Temple? Why did she return to Beijing so soon?"
"Hmph, it was said to be at Foyin Temple, but who knows? Maybe she ran away with the man."
"Yes, yes, I heard that Lord Bingdian was not in the capital during the time she was away. Maybe it is just as you said. Lord Bingdian must be possessed by evil spirits. Otherwise, how could he marry such an ugly woman? ?”
"Shh, be careful that she heard it. I heard that a few days ago, she beat the third young lady of the Bai family. She still can't get out of bed. I heard that she also broke the hairpin that Mr. Bingdian's mother gave to the third young lady. Yeah, I said she must be jealous."
"Eh? Lord Hyoudian's mother?"
"You don't know yet, but the fairy-like woman who often entered the palace some time ago is the mother of Lord Bingdian. She is so beautiful!"
"Wow, no, I heard that the woman seems to be very young and very beautiful. I can't believe... Oh my God!"
"I really don't understand why Lord Hyoudian's mother agreed to let that ugly girl marry into the family."
"It's just an ugly girl. As long as she doesn't marry Prime Minister Feng for a day, everything will change."
"Yes, what the princess said is that although the marriage has been decided, everything will change as long as the wedding ceremony is not held."
"Perhaps Lord Bingdian will wake up by then and won't be deceived by her magic. She will definitely become a joke to everyone in the world."
"To be honest, this third lady of the Bai family is really ugly. I'm really worried that I'm going to have nightmares at night."
"That's right, as the saying goes, it doesn't matter if a person is ugly, but it's her fault for coming out to scare people."
"hehe… "
A round of mocking laughter echoed in the imperial garden, and also floated in Bai Xi's ears. However, she seemed not to hear the conversation of these official ladies. She kept walking and continued to walk forward. Instead, it was the little eunuch who led the way. , I saw him raising his eyes from time to time to peek at the face of the second young lady of the Bai family. It was strange, wasn't the second young lady of the Bai family not angry at all? Not feeling ashamed at all? In this case, does he complete the task assigned by the princess
After passing through the imperial garden and then through the corridor, Bai Xi finally arrived at the imperial study room. But before the little eunuch who led the way left, Bai Xi said calmly, "Newcomer, remember that your master is not one of those long-tongued women. It’s the guy in here.”
The little eunuch was startled, his legs were too frightened to move, and he stood there stupidly. Later, Little Fan ordered people to move him away.
"Xiao Xixi, you are finally back. Do you know that I have been thinking about you these days?" As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Bai Xi heard Ye Muli's eager "confession". Discourse.
"Then should I say next that I am so lucky to have the Emperor miss me?" Bai Xi said lightly.
"It turns out that Xiao Xixi is also thinking about me." Ye Muli looked satisfied, with a gentle and watery smile on her face that would kill someone even if they were killed.
The corners of Bai Xi's mouth couldn't help but twitch. What she said just now didn't indicate that she was thinking about him.
Ye Muli seemed to be able to read Bai Xi's thoughts, with an "I understand" expression and an unusually gentle tone, "Xiao Xixi, you are tired too. Have a glass of apple juice and some snacks."
While Ye Muli was talking, apple juice and snacks had been served and placed within Bai Xi's reach.
"The emperor invited me here to play checkers, didn't he?" Bai Xi drank apple juice to moisten her throat without any pretense. The main reason why she put aside those martial arts examination exercises to enter the palace was because of her Want to see what happened to the checkers developed by Ye Muli
"It's not urgent, Xiao Xixi. Shouldn't you first let me relieve the pain of missing you?" After saying this, Ye Muli had already left his position and came to stand in front of Bai Xi with her hands behind her hands. , and bent down slightly, a pair of gentle watery eyes looked directly at Bai Xi, who continued to drink apple juice with a calm expression.
"Then I wonder how the emperor can relieve the pain of lovesickness?" Bai Xi put down the cup in his hand, raised his eyes slightly, and met Ye Muli's eyes that were smiling elegantly but full of black hearts.
"Of course..." As the words floated out, Ye Muli's body gradually approached, while Bai Xi sat as steady as a mountain, without a trace of panic or nervousness, but when Ye Muli was about to kiss Bai Xi At that moment, he suddenly stood up straight, "I don't want to become Xiao Mingming's enemy."
Bai Xi raised her lips and smiled. She thought that he had no intention of kissing her at all, but just wanted to see her reaction. He just wanted to have some fun and relieve his boredom. Unfortunately, her lack of cooperation made him lose interest in playing. .
"Since the Emperor doesn't know how to relieve the pain of lovesickness, let me do it." After saying this, Bai Xi attacked Ye Muli with lightning speed, and each punch was quite fast and powerful.
After ten moves, Bai Xi stopped taking action, retracted his moves, and returned to his seat.
"Xiao Xixi, do you want to murder me?" Ye Muli said lightly, but there was no trace of anger in it, but the smile on his face was deeper, although he did not expect that the other party would directly punch him, If he hadn't been sensitive enough, he would definitely have been tricked, but he found this little Xixi very interesting.
"If you want to murder the emperor, just fists are not enough." Bai Xi replied softly, "It is said that if you don't fight, you won't know each other. The more we fight, the more familiar we become. If we fight, the pain of missing each other will be gone."
"I have heard the saying that we will never know each other without fighting, but the words 'the more we fight, the more familiar we become, and the pain of missing each other will disappear', why do I feel so strange when I hear it? Xiao Xixi, should these words be right? Could it be your own creation?"
"Bingo, the answer is correct, but unfortunately... there is no prize."
Ye Muli felt her eyelids twitching. Let alone what Na Bin meant, she asked him to say what she wanted to say if there was no prize for her correct answer.
And the little fan who had been waiting beside him had long been petrified, and he didn't know how to react. From the moment the emperor said he missed the second miss of the Bai family, he couldn't describe the feelings in his heart. Later, when the emperor actually wanted to kiss that woman, His heart almost jumped out of his chest. Don't worry, he was not afraid, but excited, because the emperor was finally willing to touch a woman, but the person was... Well, after that, everything was different from the usual emperor. , and also, the second young lady of the Bai family must be too courageous. She actually dared to punch the emperor. If the emperor had not spoken in advance not to make a sound no matter what happened, he would have called for someone to catch this "assassin" .
Bai Xi glanced at the little fan who was surprised and happy, but was in a daze at the end. His eyes moved and fell on Ye Muli who had returned to his seat. "Your Majesty, can you let me see the checkers you have developed?"
Ye Muli smiled slightly, "I don't know what checkers is."
The green-white fingers trembled, and the black eyes stared straight at the gentle smile on Ye Muli's face, as if she didn't believe it, but also as if she didn't hear clearly, and more like she was waiting for Ye Muli's next words.
"Xiao Xixi, don't forget, you promised me to teach me how to play checkers, chess and so on." He was passing the words around to deliberately mislead Xiao Xixi into thinking that he had discovered what checkers was, but that was not the case. If so, he was not sure that Xiao Mingming would be willing to let him go.
"I understand." Bai Xi said calmly, without any change in his mood.
"Then let's start now." In fact, he also asked people to explore it, and the answers were varied, and none of them were reliable.
"not now."
Just when Ye Muli was about to speak, Bai Xi also said, "You can't play checkers on an ordinary chessboard. When I finish the checkers, I will tell you how to play chess, okay?"
"I don't want to wait too long."
Bai Xi nodded slightly to answer Ye Muli.
"By the way, I wonder if the emperor still remembers to owe me a condition?" She suddenly thought of what kind of condition she should make.
Ye Muli raised her brows, "Oh, we have to fulfill that condition." This had always been a thorn in his mind, but he also wanted to see what kind of conditions she would put forward.
"yes."
After that, Bai Xi didn't stay in the palace for too long before returning to the palace. But as soon as she returned to the palace, she discovered a big thing, that is, the atmosphere in the palace was a bit strange. No, it should be said that the servants' eyes were ambiguous. Yes, some are envious, some are jealous, and some are hateful.
"Miss, I'll ask you." Mu Qiu didn't wait for Bai Xi to say anything, and immediately ran to ask someone. Less than a quarter of an hour later, she saw Mu Qiu running back, panting, "Miss, I asked you. , It turns out that an hour ago, my uncle sent someone to bring a big bed and replaced the bed in the young lady's room."
