Bai Fuling likes Beiguan City, because she is the biggest there, no one can touch their family, even if she walks sideways, no one dares to criticize her, her parents and Lu Ying, the only three people who can control her, only have endless pampering and doting on her . Beiguan City borders the territory of the barbarians, and the local people have become accustomed to respecting their strength. Whoever has the most power and can give them a good life will be the king of Beiguan City!
The capital city is a place where the rich and powerful are like dogs, and the royal relatives walk everywhere, and the imperial power is infinitely magnified. She may not care about her own reputation and the eyes of others, but she cannot cause trouble for her parents because of her self-willedness. In order to fulfill her mother's wish, she even She has to pretend to be a lady and deal with people she doesn't like every day. It can be said that others see her as beautiful, but she just feels extremely depressed.
Princess Antai looked at her aggrieved appearance, and said with deep meaning: "If you have to stay in the capital all the time, then what will you do?"
"I still have to pretend, and then try to win the right not to pretend as soon as possible." Bai Fuling asked herself that she has no ability to pretend for a lifetime. There are some things in her nature that cannot be changed and are unwilling to change, especially as a time-traveling girl who has experienced life and death. The courage and determination that would rather be broken than broken.
Princess Antai smiled and said, "It's a big tone, even if my brother is the emperor, he has to make false claims with some people."
"That's right, it's an impossible task, so we can't stay in this capital for long!" Bai Fuling was very aware of her own situation, and it was better to go back to Beiguan City and become a local tyrant.
But since Princess Antai mentioned the emperor, they just asked her to find out where the emperor had abducted Lu Ying, so they quickly winked at their mother.
Mu Peilan said knowingly: "I won't be polite to you anymore. Apart from meeting you today, I have two things to ask for."
Princess Antai waved her hand, and said generously: "What do you and I want to ask for? Just say it directly. If I can help, I will definitely help. Even if I can't, I will try my best."
"Auntie is really a good person!" Bai Fuling quickly delivered a loud and straightforward flattery.
Mu Peilan said: "The first thing is, my adopted son, Lu Ying, the general of Zhenbei, was secretly called into the palace by the emperor yesterday, and there has been no more news. I don't know how he is now. I would like to ask you to help me find out."
Princess Antai slapped her forehead and said with a smile: "Look at me, I'm so confused, I wanted to tell you about this. The emperor arranged for Lu Ying to do an errand for him, and he has already left the capital secretly. In a few days, the emperor will announce the news of his return to Beijing to report on his work." , there will be news of him at that time, and we can also arrange for you to meet each other, so you can rest assured."
Mu Peilan said in amazement: "You have only arrived in the capital today, why have you met Lu Ying?"
Princess Antai shook her head and said, "I haven't seen him before. The emperor didn't want Lu Ying to be concerned, so he ordered me to inform you personally. The matter Lu Ying has to do is very important and needs to be kept absolutely secret. You should not mention it to others."
Bai Fuling felt relieved and was a little disappointed. She would have to wait a few days before seeing her eldest brother. She hoped that he would show up before she arrived at the ceremony. Influenced by this, she also began to look forward to this day.
Mu Peilan shuddered when she heard Princess Antai's words. This clearly meant that the emperor knew very well about the relationship between Lu Ying and her family, but she relaxed after thinking about it. We all know that if the emperor intends to use Lu Ying, he will definitely arrange Tsing Yiwei's spies by his side. It is not surprising to know this, and at least for now, the emperor has no complaints or dissatisfaction with this.
Princess Antai didn't think much about it, she just smiled and said: "I have heard that Lu Ying and his wife respect each other like ice, it seems to be true, and the general's mansion has never heard of his return to Beijing from the beginning to the end. news, and he was temporarily dispatched by the emperor to perform official duties, so he only wanted to inform his adoptive father and adoptive mother."
Mu Peilan said indifferently: "The Cui family is snobbish and short-sighted. If he has a close relationship with the Cui family, I am afraid the emperor will not send him to carry out some secret missions." She already knew that the emperor did not like the Xia family and the Mao family. Since the death of the old master Cui Changyun, the family has been wholeheartedly attached to the Mao family, which is a taboo of the emperor.
"That's right, I don't know what is the second thing about sister Pei Lan?" Princess Antai didn't like the Cui family either, so she immediately changed the subject.
"I would like to ask the princess to condescend to be the official guest of Ling'er and Jili." Mu Peilan wanted to wait for the old sister to come back. Firstly, she really missed her, and secondly, it was also for this reason.
The guest of honor is generally served by the female elder of the salute. This female elder must have both ability and political integrity. Princess Antai is the most honorable woman in the royal family except the Queen Mother, Empress Xia, and Concubine Mao. Above a few, they are the best candidates. Looking at the entire Qi country, there are not many people who can invite her to be the official guest at a young girl's Jiji ceremony.
Princess Antai said bluntly: "I will go if you don't invite me, such a beautiful niece, no one else can take the position of honorable guest except me." Her eyes showed genuine joy, without any trace of politeness, Bai Fuling couldn't help feeling very fond of her.
Princess Antai stayed with them for dinner, and pulled Mu Peilan to talk about many old things. Both of them were full of emotion. Her words were sharp and witty. history of prestige. From the tone of voice, it seems that Princess Antai is also one of the heads of Tsing Yi Wei, but it is hard to tell which part she is in charge of.
Tsing Yi Wei's identity as the head of the royal family is a secret of the royal family. Bai Fuling would rather be confused than to inquire carefully. Knowing too much is sometimes not a good thing. My mother left Tsing Yi Wei back then, and I don't know how much it cost.
It was not until it was time to light the lanterns that Princess Antai reluctantly let the two mother and daughter leave, and earnestly ordered that they must visit her house more during these days in the capital.
Mu Peilan finally decided on Bai Fuling and the important candidates to attend the ceremony. She was very happy, and the smile on her face never stopped, but Bai Fuling suddenly remembered something, and she was very depressed-Ji Li's parents who were the hosts could not show up. Sometimes I can only ask my grandmother to accept the gift on my behalf. No matter how grand the event is, no matter how distinguished the guests are, it will be a great regret.
She doesn't care that others know that her parents are extremely ugly, but the parents care and will not allow themselves to affect the perfect image of their daughter.
Damn Ghost Face Gu! Damn Demon Cult! Bai Fuling buried her in her mother's soft and fragrant arms and cursed bitterly.
Back at the Duke's Mansion, Xiao You saw her coming back late, and suspected that she went to see Yang Heng after going to the Princess Mansion, her face was very ugly, and while there was no one around, she said to her: "You said that you will marry me when I grow up. Yes, don't get involved with other men."
Bai Fuling was full of resentment for things related to the ghost-faced Gu. Seeing him pestering him again, she smiled angrily and said, "When did I promise you, it's fine! If you can find the ghost-faced Gu before I reach Jili The Gu mother let my father and mother detoxify the poison, and I will marry you."
She is speaking out of anger, and now she is only five days away from Jili, even if she rushes to the main altar of the Demon Sect and takes the ghost-faced Gu mother directly, the round-trip distance is almost the same, not to mention that even if the Gu mother is in hand, it will take at least one person to detoxify the poison. In one day, you have to wait in line to pay for something in the supermarket, not to mention the Devil's Sect
Xiao Mi smiled lightly, and said seriously: "It's a deal, you can't go back on your word!"
Little kids just love bragging! Bai Fuling rolled her eyes, and said mockingly: "It's a deal, go quickly! Do you want me to lend you a horse? You're so small, it's not easy to find a pony that you can ride on. Hire a nanny to accompany you to take care of you."
With anger on Xiao You's face, she turned her head and walked away without saying a word. Bai Fuling turned around and forgot about this "little episode", but she didn't know that some agreements cannot be said casually, otherwise the consequences may be very serious!
The next day, Bai Pingzi sent good news that the five princesses who were recuperating in the other courtyard of Yunque Mountain gradually stabilized. Concubine Mao Guifei will send someone to take her back to the palace to take care of her personally on the fifth day. All the attendants of the five princesses will be fully evacuated, and the Yunque Mountain Bieyuan will be unsealed in six days at the latest, and he will take people to clean it up, just in time for Bai Fuling to go back to live in the Bieyuan after finishing the ceremony.
There was also news from the Nylon Embroidery Workshop that the prototypes of the "handbags" she had been thinking about making had already been made, and she was asked if she wanted to send them over for a look. This is a new product that Bai Fuling wants to launch in the embroidery workshop this year. There are many people here in the Duke's Mansion. If Huiyun, Huiru and others see each other, they must keep a few. If you can't help but show it off and let other embroidery workshops imitate it in advance, it will be a big loss.
Anyway, I have nothing to do today, so Bai Fuling simply sneaked to Shibu Lane, then took a car to Jinlun Embroidery Workshop, and then took a maidservant such as ginkgo fruit, white peony bayberry, etc. to Fenxialing outside the city to enjoy the plum blossoms. Take a good look before the flower season is over.
It's already deep winter now, with the cold wind howling and snowflakes flying, there are very few pedestrians on the Fenxia Ridge, only they, a group of two carriages, and Bai Ashi, Bai Shisan and other guards are accompanying them.
When the carriage passed a tea pavilion at the foot of the mountain, a little bookboy happened to come out to fetch pens and ink for the master on the carriage. Seeing them, they gave a slight surprise, turned around and ran into the tea pavilion, and whispered something in the ear of a young gentleman.
The young master frowned and said: "Are you sure you read it right?"
The little book boy shook his head and said: "Miss Bai's ebony carriage is completely different from the carriages of other ladies and ladies in Beijing. I have seen it in front of the other courtyard, but I have only seen this one in Beijing, and the driver is also the one from last time. , let alone that day... the little one has been paying attention to it, and it will definitely not be wrong."
The young master pursed his lips, and said in an unclear way: "I'm just worried that it's inconvenient to come to see me, so it's just right, let me meet the most talented woman in the capital today."
