After waiting for around two hours, Rose Pavilion was still as quiet as ever. He quickly waved the Golden Bone Fan, which fully explained how Hong Zhong was feeling, and when she couldn't wait any longer, Hong Zhong waved her fan and walked out of the Rose Pavilion, heading towards Baili Yaoji's palace.
That girl was previously injured by Chun Lan in the National Temple, but she was unable to attend the marriage tree s' wishes. She didn't know if she was feeling better, but she wouldn't be able to sleep after all, so it would be better for her to take a walk in her chambers.
Her elegant and beautiful figure gradually moved further and further away, and gradually disappeared from the Rose Pavilion.
Just at this time, another plain looking figure rushed towards Rose Pavilion, passing by the rose flower rack. Baili Mingyue looked around, he had not seen that girl for two days, after settling the matters with the Azure Sun Ambassador, he had gone to Xiwu Hall to see her, but Xiwu Hall's girl clearly said that this girl had come out. Logically speaking, she should have come here, but why was there no one here?
… ….
Hong Zhong followed the palace path and headed straight for Baili Yaoji's chambers. Only then did she realise that, being the same princess, Baili Ziyan's treatment was completely different from Baili Yaoji's.
Although the Yanran Palace that Baili Ziyan resided in was not dazzling in gold and jade, but it was still carved and decorated with flowing water. But the Yun Yao Pavilion that Baili Yaoji resided in, was much more desolate. In such a large courtyard, there wasn't even a single person on night duty!
Hong Zhong strolled into the Cloud Dragon Pavilion, and just as she entered the main hall, she heard a little girl's voice from inside: "Princess, bear with it, I'll help you wipe the medicinal wine."
"Yes, yes." Following that was Baili Yaoji's voice that endured the pain.
Baili Yaoji was injured?
Hong Zhong frowned as she walked in. She saw Baili Yaoji sitting on a chair and on a table beside him, there was a tray with some delicate porcelain bottles. A young girl dressed in palace maid attire was helping her wipe the medicinal wine, and she asked curiously: "Yao Ji, are you injured?"
"Huh?" Baili Yaoji was startled, she turned and saw Hong Zhong, and anxiously stood up: Zhong Erjiejie, why are you here? Hui Lan, quickly serve tea. "
"Yes." Hui Lan put down the bottle, bowed to Hong Zhong, and then turned and left the hall.
Hong Zhong walked to Baili Yaoji's side and sat down, then looked at her hand that was wiping the medicinal wine: "Your hand, what's wrong?"
Baili Yaoji paused for a moment, and quickly used her sleeve to cover her hand. With an embarrassed expression, she lowered her head, and didn't dare look at Hong Zhong: "I'm fine. I just met her in the courtyard in the afternoon. "
It definitely wasn't like that!
Although Hong Zhong was clear in her heart, she did not say a word, and only looked at her quietly. Until Hui Lan came in with a cup and placed it beside her: "Young miss, please have some tea."
"Yao Ji, do you know, according to the research of the experts, when people lie, they will automatically look to the right." Hong Zhong looked at Baili Yaoji mysteriously. After seeing her blushing red face, she got a bit closer to her: "And just now, you were looking to the right."
"I... Is there? " Baili Yaoji's little face immediately flushed red as she looked at Hong Zhong in disbelief. Hong Zhong nodded earnestly: "Yes, you were looking to the right just now!"
"I …" Baili Yaoji lowered her head, biting her lips as she spoke.
Hong Zhong sighed, she stood up and pulled Baili Yaoji out: "If you don't want to say it, then forget it, tonight sister is not in a good mood, accompany me to admire the moon."
As Baili Ziyan was being dragged, she followed closely behind him. Seeing her ignore her ladylike figure and sit down on the grass, she, on the other hand, paused for a moment before sitting on the stone bench beside Hong Zhong.
With both of his hands on his pillow, he looked around, only to realize that this Cloud Dragon Pavilion was completely cold, and even the servants were only Hui Lan who he had seen before. He could not help but be curious, "That's right, why is it that you're the only one living in this Cloud Dragon Pavilion, your matriarch?"
With that said, the scene became somewhat quiet.
Baili Yaoji was silent for a while, before she slowly opened her mouth, "I was royal father's remnants of son, and not long after matriarch gave birth to me, I died."
Hong Zhong turned her head around a little embarrassedly. In fact, she also cared deeply about Baili Yaoji, no wonder she, as a princess of a nation, was bullied continuously in the Supreme Academy. She was the same as, without a mother to care for her since childhood, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the grand imperial concubine was …"
"It's okay, I'm already used to it." Baili Yaoji shook his head. But Hong Zhong found it even more unbearable to endure such an appearance. He looked at the bruise on her hand and asked: "Did you get bullied by Baili Ziyan today?" In the afternoon when he returned, he did not see her. In the afternoon when Baili Ziyan brought her men to the Xiwu Hall to find trouble with her, she did not see her either.
"Yes." Baili Yaoji replied softly. SShe had even ordered her servants to beat up Hui Lan. He thought that it would be a pity if she could, but in the end, she had still gone up to argue. In the end, even she had not been spared by the palace maids.
Hong Zhong swept his eyes across her: "And the reason?" If she remembered correctly, although Baili Ziyan used to find trouble with him in the past, she had never fought with him before. There must be a reason why she was able to make a move this time, right?
Baili Yaoji was quiet for a moment, then slowly said: "In the afternoon, Hui Lan was packing her luggage, and I was doing embroidery in the courtyard, when she bumped into me, so … "So …"
"She saw that your embroidery was very good, so she was envious and jealous?" Although in Hong Zhong's heart, that woman Baili Ziyan was committing all sorts of crimes. However, she had bullied Baili Yaoji for so many years, yet she was able to beat him up just because she saw that her embroidery was better than her own!
"That's not it either. It's because... "Because …" As Baili Yaoji said that, she lowered her head even more, and her face still had a look of shyness.
Hong Zhong frowned, and looked at her in puzzlement. Baili Yaoji paused for a moment, then pulled out a white silk handkerchief from her sleeves, Hong Zhong took it and opened it, only to see a beautiful crabapple flower embroidered on the silk handkerchief. Beside it was a word — Zhi Zun!
Ji Hao?
Murong Youqi?!
When she looked at Baili Yaoji suspiciously, she had no choice but to admit that Murong Youqi, that flower of a radish, had a strong attraction for women, especially for a girl like Baili Yaoji who had just started a relationship. She had already noticed that Baili Yaoji had a good impression of her, but she just didn't expect that after just a few rounds, they had already reached such a stage!
Hong Zhong looked at the brocade handkerchief in her hand and laughed, "Could this be the legendary 'not writing love poems'? When the mind knows to look upside down, the horizontal silk (thought) will be vertical silk? "
"Zhong Erjiejie, don't make fun of me. I know that the Fourth Prince Dong Heng came here today with the intention of betrothing the marriage between Dong Heng and the Southern Qi in place of him. With my identity, I'm not worthy of him at all. As he continued speaking, his voice gradually weakened.
It was also because Baili Ziyan saw this silk handkerchief that she purposely found trouble to beat Hui Lan up, pretending to "accidentally" hurt herself while pulling on it.
Baili Yaoji's tone was filled with unconfidence, causing Hong Zhong to cherish him slightly. She coughed lightly and reminded, "Yao Ji, people are actually equal to each other, there is no one who is not compatible with him. You like him this much, but do you know anything about him?" Understand his character and character, understand his character, and understand the past of this playboy?
Baili Yaoji looked at Hong Zhong, her eyes revealing a look of astonishment. Southern Qi, ever since the founding of the country, men had always been revered. No one had ever told her that people were equal! Furthermore, since ancient times, marriage was about being equal. If one's status was not high, they couldn't be as high as others!
"I... "I don't know." Hearing Hong Zhong's question, Baili Yaoji shook her head in a daze. She was merely a princess who had been living in the palace for a long time, her chances of getting rid of her were truly limited. How could she have the chance to understand him? But: "Actually, I've also asked Hui Lan about it. I know some things about the Fourth Prince."
Murong Youqi's affair had resounded throughout the entire Navy Tide Continent. As a palace maid, Hui Lan more or less knew about it than Baili Yaoji.
"Yes." Baili Yaoji replied softly, and her voice was so quiet that it was almost indiscernible. In fact, if someone else were to ask this, she wouldn't be able to say it even if she was beaten to death. A princess who had never married in a long time could simply say that she admired a man.
However, Hong Zhong was the person she trusted and relied on the most, and was also the person who had always sincerely treated her, so she should naturally also treat her with sincerity.
"Yes." Baili Yaoji cautiously nodded her head, "Furthermore, I know that Baili Ziyan likes him too. The State of Dong Heng will definitely choose a princess who enjoys the support of the Southern Qi. But, even though she knew it was like this, she still couldn't control her heart!
Ever since she had caught a glimpse of him at the entrance of National Temple, all she could think of was him, all by himself. She thought of him waving his fan with an elegant demeanor, the amicable smile on his face, and his pleasant voice …
Hong Zhong now felt that the Baili Yaoji in front of her was like a young lady who had lost her footing 'that had been bewitched by her beauty. Although that Murong Youqi person was not bad looking and was rather nice to her, the moment she thought about how he had rolled over the sheets with so many women, she could not fall in love with him! " Yao Ji, that is actually not the point, the point is that you are really willing to follow another woman … " Share my man?
After saying those words, Baili Yaoji became silent. After a long while, she then said slowly: "Zhong Erjiejie, actually, we are the imperial princesses, we are the most pitiful women. Our marriage either becomes a tool to rope in the imperial family's officials or a tool for the imperial family's marriage. If she could marry a man she liked, even if she had three wives and four concubines, that would be better than marrying a man she did not love, but she still had three wives and four concubines. After all, I love this man! "
After listening to Baili Yaoji's words, Hong Zhong became silent.
The tools used by the royal family to win over powerful officials?
The truth was, Baili Yi Chen was also treating him like this! It was all thanks to his father being an official of the Southern Qi that he had been able to live until now! He patted Baili Yaoji's shoulder: "Don't be sad, although planning is always in the sky, people do things as they please, fate cannot be determined clearly!"
didn't like her anyway, and she also didn't like that slut. So why would she happily hug the man she liked? Humans, after all, had to make their enemies unhappy in order to make themselves happy!
"Yes, yes." Although Baili Yaoji agreed, she felt a wave of disappointment in the bottom of her heart. Baili Ziyan had always been an arrogant and despotic person, and was deeply doted on by the Empress Dowager. If she liked it, she would definitely seize this opportunity and not let it go. Zhong Erjiejie thought for a while. "Oh right, Zhong Erjiejie, why are you in a bad mood?"
"Me? "No, I'm just not used to going back to the palace." Hong Zhong stared blankly at him for a moment. His gaze turned a little unnatural as he pretended to relax. Could it be that he had to tell her that he was unhappy because he said that he was going to be married to the Qingyang Kingdom?
But, what right did he have to be unhappy?
Baili Yaoji laughed: "No? But big sister isn't like this normally! "
"Ah?" "Is it that obvious?!" Hong Zhong could not help but turn her head and ask in surprise. Had his inner expression been written all over her face? Even someone as innocent as Baili Yaoji could see it!
"Did my royal brother make you unhappy?" Baili Yaoji laughed and asked softly.
Hong Zhong's face froze. What does this have to do with Baili Yi Chen? But it was this moment that caused Baili Yaoji to think that she had guessed her thoughts, "Actually, my royal brother is still a very good person. Furthermore, I feel that he actually likes you, so Zhong Erjiejie, don't be angry at him."
In fact, she really liked Zhong Erjiejie a lot in her heart. If she really could become her own Huang Sao, then that would be even better. Even if she did not marry Dong Heng's Fourth Prince as she wished in the future, her days in the palace would be much better.
"Cough cough …" He likes me? He really likes to kill me, right? " Hong Zhong embarrassedly coughed twice, he sat up on the grass: "Yao Ji, the matter between me and your royal brother, is not what you think, stop spouting nonsense from now on, do you understand?"
