Chapter 280 Qixi Festival gift

  Bai Xianyu asked: "What's the matter?"

   "The servant girl and the girl said last time that the eldest princess has always wanted to find a chance to make up for you, do you remember?"

   "Remember." Bai Xianyu thought for a moment, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, "So these days, the eldest princess is...compensating me?"

"right."

   "Why did the eldest princess do this?"

  She could only think that the eldest princess really wanted to get closer to her, so she took her around.

"Speaking of which, Miss, you may feel a little unbelievable." Guo Ying said with a smile: "Your Highness asked His Highness to help you find a seal last time, and even gave you a special gift, but His Highness didn't find any useful news when he entered the palace that day. I feel like I owe the girl something."

  Bai Xianyu raised his eyebrows, "So that's how it is."

  Princess Jing'an returned from the palace and did not inform her of the specific situation. If there is news, she should send someone to tell her.

   But there has been no news, and she guessed the result.

Guoying then moved closer, and smiled slightly: "Your Highness has a thin skin, and her expression is not natural when she leaves the palace, but she will not say it clearly. In fact, His Highness is the first recipient to thank you, so I probably don't know what to think." How many ways to compensate you."

   "It's okay. It's been a long time since this matter happened. I may not be able to find useful clues by myself. It's a kindness that His Highness can help me. As for whether I can't find it, I won't force it."

"That's good, Your Highness can't bow his head, and can only express his thoughts by giving you gifts. Such things may happen in the future, so this time I came to you to clarify." Guo Ying looked at Bai Xianyu , "The girl is considerate, and I will definitely get along with His Highness in the future."

  Bai Xianyu smiled self-deprecatingly, "I think the eldest princess is lucky to have you."

  Guo Ying was surprised for a moment, but soon suppressed her expression, "Your Highness is a golden branch and jade leaf, and he is cheerful and generous. It is a blessing for a servant to follow His Highness."

  The two chatted for a while, and Guoying was called back by Princess Jing'an.

  Bai Xianyu continued to sleep for a while, and woke up refreshed, "Lvzhu, help me get the account books of Fengshadu and Shengmen."

"yes!"

   After a while, Lu Zhu and Bai Li came in with several thick booklets in their arms. The girl smiled and asked, "Miss, did you sleep well?"

  Bai Xianyu hooked his lips and nodded, "Well, are they all here?"

"Yes." Luzhu took out a brochure and said with a smile: "Fengshadu has already built branch libraries in many places, and all of them are circled on this map. It is the replica copy of the one you gave me earlier, miss. The shopkeeper is also a real person, and he wrote down all the expenditures in detail by category, and you will know it when you read it, miss."

"There is also the Shengmen, including the Liangzhou capital, there are more than 700 people in the Shengmen, and the number is still expanding. In addition to Liangzhou, there are also many hidden places near Liangzhou. The accounts were calculated by the death guards at home, and the slaves will do the calculations later, please take a look at it again, miss."

  Bai Xianyu stretched his waist, opened the window, and began to settle the matter.

   This counts from early morning to sunset.

  Familiar with the overwhelming sense of emptiness, Bai Xianyu put down his pen and sat down with his heart propped up.

  Too bad, it happened again.

"what are you doing?"

  A clear and deep male voice came, bringing sandalwood to the room.

  Bai Xianyu turned his head, and Xie Xingyun came in the twilight. The crimson court dress was close-fitting and straight, with a little tiredness hidden between his brows and eyes, but his lips were raised unruly, and he leaned against the door and looked down at her.

  She raised her eyes and smiled a little, "I'm back."

  Xie Xingyun's eyes suddenly moved, and there was a strange light in the dark pupils, "Yes."

  He approached, bringing a faint fragrance, Bai Xianyu's nose breathed, full of man's breath, getting closer, subconsciously took a step back.

   Xie Xingyun chuckled, and pressed his palm against her waist, the soft and warm feeling stretched all the way to the tip of his heart.

  His chin rested on the back of her neck, and Bai Xianyu turned his head slightly to touch his protruding Adam's apple, and tightened his fingers holding the man's belt, "What's wrong with you?"

   "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Xie Xingyun rubbed her neck with nostalgia, and pressed his forehead against hers, with a low voice, "I said I would give you two things that day, and I have already prepared one."

  Bai Xianyu looked at him sideways and asked curiously, "What is it?"

  Xie Xingyun raised his lips slowly, "I won't tell you now, after the Qixi Lantern Festival."

  Hearing what he said, Bai Xianyu remembered that it would be Qixi Festival soon, so he nodded.

   "Okay, after I've been busy for a while, I'll take a few days off to be with you." Xie Xingyun said: "Gu Yu said that women have a lot of worries before they get married, so I'll accompany you to play around?"

  Bai Xianyu's heart skipped a beat, "Let's just play around in Kyoto, Kyoto is big enough."

   "Don't want to go play somewhere else?"

   "Don't go, besides, I have to learn etiquette with my mother."

   Xie Xingyun smiled and kissed her eyes lightly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

  After he left, Lu Zhu led the servants to deliver water to the bathroom, and several maids stood beside the shelf and the tub to sort out the bath beans, bathrobes and towels.

  Bai Xianyu was sitting by the window, playing with the ribbon of her clothes with her fingers.

  The Qixi Lantern Festival is just a few days away. Every time the lantern banquet is held, the emperor and empress will go up to the tower to watch the ceremony, accompanied by the favorite concubine of the harem, and the family members of important ministers will also attend together.

  In the past years, Bai Xianyu was still young, but he would also go with his third and fourth brothers. The eldest and second brothers were often away, but they always had a place in the general's mansion.

   Thinking of seeing Emperor Wu Xuan again, Bai Xianyu felt extremely complicated.

After Luzhu finished making arrangements, she left a few people to pour water, she came to Bai Xianyu, and asked with a smile: "Miss, it will be Qixi Festival soon, and the clothes should be prepared well, this year is the year of Miss and Ji, we must Appear beautifully!"

   "The clothes can be put aside, but this is a congratulatory gift for the emperor and queen, so you have to think about it."

  Bai Xianyu pondered for a while, and said, "Why don't you just send the painting."

   "Okay, okay, the lady is a painter from a famous artist, the emperor and queen will definitely like it!"

  The voice of the servant girl came, "Miss, the water is ready."

  Bai Xianyu nodded, "You all step back."

  The night gradually darkened, and the stars hung dimly in the sky.

  After taking a bath, Li Changning frowned when he smelled himself, "Did you smell any strange smell?"

  The maids and guards of the Changqiu Palace immediately knelt on the ground, "No, His Highness has a strong fragrance, and the servants feel refreshed when they smell it."

  Li Changning was skeptical, when a voice sounded, "Your Highness!"

  Qiaoer hurried over with a smile on her face, "Your Highness, I have good news for you!"

  Li Changning frowned, "You yelled at night, if you can't tell me any good news, go and punish me yourself!"

   "Yes, yes, but I assure you that this must be good news, at least for you, Your Highness!" Qiaoer couldn't wait to enter the door and saluted Li Changning.

  When Li Changning saw the people kneeling in a row, he felt indescribably irritated, "Get out!"

  She suddenly remembered that on the first day she came here, she could smell something strange in the temple, but she couldn't tell if she wanted to.

   "Put your news aside, let me ask you first, who lived in this Changqiu Palace before?"

  Qiaoer thought for a while, and replied: "It seems that no one lives here, and ordinary maids and servants don't come here. Aunt Guoying didn't send someone to clean it until you, the princess, came."

   "So there is no one?" Li Changning felt strange.

"No."

"Yeah." Li Changning believed it for the time being, but what she didn't expect was that Qiao'er just came to the eldest princess' mansion, and she didn't do any important work. The old man in the mansion followed the eldest princess for a long time, especially after Aunt Guoying reminded her , naturally wouldn't gossip in front of her.

   In a way, Li Changning and Qiaoer are both outsiders in the house.

   "What good news do you have?"

Qiaoer finally got to the point, and said beamingly: "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness, I heard that Bai Xianyu will go to the Qixi Lantern Festival, and the eldest princess will definitely let you go out at that time. If His Highness wants to do something to Bai Xianyu at that time , isn't it very simple?"

Li Changning sneered, "This is the good news you said? Don't I know about the Qixi Lantern Festival? Bai Xianyu has to show off every time she goes back, either to show off what her brother bought her, or to show off her appearance. I don’t know what to show off, but it’s just two eyes, a nose and a mouth.”

  However, many people who came to watch under the city tower that day, besides seeing the holy face, many of them also went to take a look at Bai Xianyu!

   I don’t know what to look at!

   A bunch of rednecks!

  Qiaoer rolled her eyes, and said: "But the slave girl still knows what Bai Xianyu is going to give, Your Highness can come up with better ones and slap her in the face!"

  Li Changning became a little interested, "What?"

   "The servant girl heard from Bai Xianyu herself that she wanted to send her own painting."

  Li Changning frowned deeply, "Draw it yourself?"

   "Exactly."

   Although she has never seen Bai Xianyu's paintings, she has heard of them.

   "...Lu Xi's paintings are really good. If she can draw a picture for this princess and sign her name, it can suppress Bai Xianyu's arrogance."

  Qiaoer smiled and said, "Exactly."

   But Li Changning was still not satisfied, "It's too cheap for her!"

   "Then what does His Highness want, as long as His Highness asks, I can help you do everything for Bai Xianyu without anyone noticing!"

"You have a big tone." Li Changning "slapped" twice, and her face was red, "Tell me, I did a lot of bad things to you before, and now you are so active in helping me... "

  She snorted, "Could it be that she wants to frame me with Bai Xianyu?"

Qiaoer's complexion changed, "Your Highness misunderstood, how could this servant join forces with Bai Xianyu to lie to you! Princess, you are a rich man, and this servant knows that you have offended the princess, so I tried my best to let the princess forget the past. If the princess you To be angry with a servant, wouldn't crushing a servant be like crushing an ant?"

   "How can Bai Xianyu compare to you, princess! A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Although the slaves are embarrassing to use, they are also of some use value. I just hope that His Highness will remember the old love in the future and let the slaves live."

  She spoke dryly, and Li Changning couldn't see anything unusual on her face, so he withdrew his eyes, "You're smart."

   After thinking for a moment, Li Changning waved to her, "Come here, I'll talk to you."

  Qiaoer listened to her, and was overjoyed after listening, "Your Highness is really smart! This servant will definitely complete the task His Highness has given you!"

  Li Changning's mood improved a lot. This was the happiest time since she came to the Princess's mansion. She was reprimanded continuously, all because of Bai Xianyu, and she almost collapsed.

   "If you do well, I will ask my aunt for you in the future, and you will stay by my side in the future, and you don't have to worry about Bai Xianyu retaliating against you."

  Qiaoer's face froze.

  She wanted to use Li Changning to confront Bai Xianyu **** for tat. She wanted to make a profit, but she didn't want to be in fear by Li Changning's side, and she would die at some point!

   "Why, you don't want to?" The girl's voice was a little cold.

   "Yes! Yes!" Qiaoer hurriedly kowtowed to show her loyalty.

   "Hmph, get out."

   "Yes, Your Highness!"

  Li Changning stopped talking to her, but wrote a letter by hand and asked someone to send it out.

  After receiving the letter, Lu Xi crushed the letter excitedly.

   There is no maidservant around her anymore, except for the maid who brings water, there is no maid who usually walks around.

   This is what she asked for.

  In this world, she can only trust herself.

  If there is only one person in this world who can imitate Bai Xianyu's handwriting and handwriting, it is only her!

  She imitated Bai Xianyu, not only in clothes, but also in handwriting and painting, and even hobbies.

  Lu Xi found a peony painting of Bai Xianyu from the drawer.

   This was painted by Bai Xianyu two years ago. It was given to the courtier's wife as a gift, and she managed to buy it.

  Hanging and watching every day, copying and sketching, from the beginning to the end of the pen, she practiced each stroke hundreds of times. Fortunately, she has some talents, and now the drawings are very similar.

  She found the things that Princess Qi wanted and started to paint.

  Bai Xianyu is also painting, and she is painting Bingdilian, which is perfect as a gift to the empress on Qixi Festival.

  Although it was a bit raw, Bai Xianyu finished the painting very quickly.

  She nodded with satisfaction, "Green Pearl, help me hang it up, wait for the ink to dry, store it in a brocade box, lock it carefully, and take it out after the Lantern Festival."

"yes!"

  The green bead took it, and after a while, the ink was dry, and she skillfully sealed it up and locked the brocade box.

  At this time, Bai Li called her, "Lu Zhu, miss wants you to go over."

  Lu Zhu responded, looked left and right, "Qiaoer, put away the brocade box and put it in a safe place."

   After speaking, she took the key and left.

  Qiaoer replied respectfully, "Yes."

  The brocade box was heavy in her hand, and the wood had a metallic luster. She glanced at the locked hole, and said contemptuously, "Do you think it's safe if you lock it?"

   A day later, the box arrived in Li Changning's hands. A craftsman had been waiting there for a long time. He picked the lock and took out the painting. Then he took out another brocade box and put the painting in it...

  Li Changning watched the things put in with his own eyes before raising his chin, "Okay, put it back for her."

  Qiaoer was very excited: "Yes, Your Highness!"
