The prince's personal bodyguard

After Bai Xinyin returned to the palace, she did not attend the court the next day. In the Golden Palace, the emperor seemed to be in a bad mood, and even the two censors noticed it. This time, they were more discerning and did not talk endlessly in the palace.

In the afternoon, the weather was hot and humid and it looked like it was going to rain.

Bai Xinyin sat in the pavilion in the courtyard of Qingxinju, holding her chin and thinking: It seems that this is the first time that Concubine Lan has seen me, so the previous assassination must have nothing to do with her, but why does she hate me? And those irrelevant words make people suspect that I have something to do with the emperor. After that day, the emperor left without saying a word, and the imperial concubine kept sighing, as if she knew something.

If they don't tell me, I can't go to the palace to ask them even if I have doubts! Besides, if they don't want to tell me, I can't get any answers even if I ask them.

But all signs indicate that this matter is related to what happened during the emperor's southern tour sixteen years ago.

Why did Concubine Lan hate him without asking any questions when she saw her face, and even wanted to kill him? She was also shocked when she recalled the first time the Queen saw her. Could it be that the Queen also hated the person they were talking about, so she killed her? Now at least one thing is certain, the person who murdered her is 60% the Queen, and she needs to further verify the remaining 40%.

What kind of person is that? Probably looks a lot like me, but is very hated, and the hatred affects me. People say that she was shot even when she was lying down, but she didn't even know where she was lying when she was shot?

What happened sixteen years ago? Is it related to my seal?

My head hurts from thinking about it. A great man once said: "Secrets are uncovered bit by bit.

Not wanting to think about it anymore, he wrote a letter, summoned a carrier pigeon, and sent it to Xiao Nanfeng, asking him to find out what happened when the emperor was on his southern tour sixteen years ago?

Ah Dai looked at Bai Xinyin who had been in a daze for a long time and shouted: "Idiot, idiot!"

"You are the fool!" Bai Xinyin counterattacked.

"The prince has arrived, the prince has arrived!"

Bai Xinyin looked up, saw the prince, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty." But she did not move.

The prince naturally didn't care: "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"

"I miss my mom." Bai Xinyin made up an excuse.

"Oh, then let's go back and take a look after a while." He walked over and took Bai Xinyin's hand: "I'm going to meet my mother in the afternoon. Would Ah Si be willing to go with us?"

"Okay!" The ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law. Anyway, she has nothing to do in the afternoon, so it might as well go out for a walk.

Seeing that it was about to rain, the mansion prepared rain gear.

When I arrived outside the city gate, I saw dust rising in the distance. Soon, a group of carriages and horses appeared in front of me. What a coincidence.

Mu Yunxiao got off the carriage and prepared to greet him.

A middle-aged couple walked out of the carved and jade-built carriage opposite.

The man's face was well-defined, with strong and resolute lines. High cheekbones and deep eye sockets outlined a handsome face. His eyebrows were thick and long, slightly raised, and his hair and beard were slightly gray, giving people a sense of stability and reliability.

The woman was wearing a dark purple gown embroidered with gold, and a sable fur headband inlaid with jade. She had a plump figure, a face like a silver plate, kind eyes, a smile on her face, and was covered in jewels. She had a dignified and kind temperament.

They must be the old prince Mu Chaoyun and the princess Lin Lan. Bai Xinyin looked them up and down. The prince was in good health, but the princess wore a headband before the summer was over, so she must have a headache. She was wearing gold and silver, and the word "rich woman" was missing.

Looking at the prince again, he doesn't look or look like them. Maybe it's inherited from the previous generation?

After everyone paid respects to the old prince and the princess, Mu Yunxiao was about to pull Bai Xinyin to the old prince's mother and introduce her. At this time, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and it seemed that it was going to rain. The old prince said, "This is not the time to talk. Let's go back to the mansion and talk." The two of them got up and walked back without hesitation. Bai Xinyin was about to climb into the carriage when she suddenly felt a gaze sweeping towards her.

"That must be the young guard who treated the Queen Mother?" A hearty middle-aged female voice came over. Who else could it be at this time? Bai Xinyin didn't climb into the carriage anymore. She quickly got off and walked to the princess to greet her again.

"This subordinate has met the princess."

My current identity is not embarrassing. I am a marquis, but I am a guard. I am a girl, but I wear men's clothes. Well, I am not embarrassed, but others are embarrassed.

The princess walked around Bai Xinyin and touched her earlobe. What did that mean? Bai Xinyin was a little confused. Is it popular to touch earlobes when meeting someone for the first time? Looking at the big gold earrings on the princess' ears, she looked at the prince for help.

"This is not the time to talk. It's about to rain. Please get in the carriage, mother." Mu Yunxiao said as he helped the princess into the carriage.

Bai Xinyin breathed a sigh of relief and got into the carriage. As expected, it started to rain on the road.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Changli came over with an umbrella and wanted to hold it for the prince.

"Let that little guard hold an umbrella for your prince!" The princess' voice came again.

No, what does it mean? You can't guess what the princess is thinking.

Bai Xinyin originally wanted to go alone with an umbrella, but when she heard this, she hurried back, smiled at the prince, and put the umbrella over his head.

There were so many people around, and it was the first time I met the prince's mother. I felt embarrassed to get too close to the prince, but I couldn't get wet, right? I was holding the umbrella and then I deviated.

The rain flowed down the umbrella handle to the prince's neck, and then down the belt to his shoes. The prince wanted to get closer to Bai Xinyin, but Bai Xinyin quickly moved away and waved to him, indicating that there were many people. The prince smiled bitterly: The rain will wash me clean in a while, it's a welcome for me.

The princess who was walking in front looked back, then turned to walk towards the old prince and whispered something in his ear, causing the prince to look back and smile. Bai Xinyin felt goosebumps all over.

The heavy rain lasted for half the afternoon and finally stopped in the evening. Mu Yunxiao held a family banquet to welcome the old prince and princess, and arranged for them to stay in Changle Hall in the palace.

The next morning, the old prince and the princess came to see the emperor. The king and his subjects talked about their farewell feelings.

In the next few days, the old prince and princess were invited by various families, either to banquets or on the way to banquets. They left early and returned late, and Bai Xinyin didn't see them very often.

Ever since the last incident, Mu Yunxiao no longer took Bai Xinyin to the morning court. Every day when the prince went to court, Bai Xinyin either went out to meet Mei Jiu and A Luo, or practiced calligraphy and drawing talismans in Qingxinju. In the afternoon, she would grind ink and read books in the prince's study, which was quite leisurely.

On July 28, Prime Minister Lin held a banquet at his residence to welcome his sister-in-law, and invited many dignitaries to join him.

In the morning, a maidservant came to the Changle Hall of the palace to pass on a message: "Guard Bai... Oh, no, Marquis Dongcheng..."

"Call me Ah Si!"

"I dare not. The princess has sent a message for you to accompany her to the prime minister's residence for a banquet. We will set off at 9:00 pm. Please wait for her at the gate."

Bai Xinyin thought for a moment. Mu Yunxiao had not returned from the morning court yet. Should he go or not?

The princess returned home very late these days, and he couldn't figure out what she was thinking. Mu Yunxiao said that he would settle the marriage after these two busy days. Bai Xinyin was not in a hurry about marriage, as she was still young and it would be good for her to play for a few more years.

If the princess agreed to let her be with Mu Yunxiao, she thought it was fine; if she didn't agree, she wouldn't force it, as if she didn't feel that her love for Mu Yunxiao was that strong, not to the point where she couldn't live without him. Was it related to her being sealed? As Master said, the six senses were sealed, and her temperament was dull.

If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it is inevitable. Then he said to the maid, "Okay!"
