Ascension

Qin'er stood there, or the candlelight was also fascinated by her beauty, covering her graceful figure like a cage of haze, making her more dreamlike and unreal.

"Hero Bai left in a hurry and left something in Changpei Palace, His Highness sent a servant to bring it."

She didn't bring an attendant, she took out something from her sleeve and picked it up in person.

This is a pair of mutton fat jade, engraved with the pattern of Tianxiang peony, lying quietly in her two palms that are almost whiter than jade.

Bai Cai refused to accept it, frowned and said: "Your Highness is kind and humble, but this item is not humble."

Qin'er held the jade pendant in both hands, and when she smiled, the corners of her mouth curled up, two small dimples were looming, and she said crisply: "Your Highness said, if you don't take this jade pendant, you may not be able to leave the palace today. How dare a foreigner stay in the palace I don't know who gave you the courage?"

When she was standing still, she was dignified and quiet, but at this time, she was threatening and laughing, which was a bit playful and cute, which made people not get bored, wishing she could make more threats.

Bai Cai was unmoved, and said coldly: "You can spend a night here with the guards guarding the gate, and the city gate is probably not considered a palace."

Qin'er had already seen this person's stubbornness in Changpei Palace, but she didn't expect him to have such quick wit.The more capable he is, the more Qin'er can't tell him to pass the test lightly and skillfully. She frowned and said, "Hero Bai..."

"Auntie, Bai has already served in the Habayashi Army, so don't mention the title of hero again."

When Qin'er was interrupted by him, she felt annoyed in her heart, and the sadness on her face became more serious: "Bai... ah, forgive me, my servant, but I can't remember your official position."

She is conceited of her appearance, and she has met all the men she has, except for His Highness, who has not been fascinated. This hideous Bai Cai has seen her in the palace several times, and she is as cold and hard as a stone in a latrine pit. Hi, I couldn't help but put on airs and sarcasm a few words.

Bai Cai said indifferently: "Bai is just a small soldier in the Yulin Army, it is common sense that Auntie can't remember."

Wen Wen temporarily arranged him in the Habayashi Army when he was invited, just waiting for His Majesty to order him to be transferred to the Ouchi.In terms of rank, even the soldiers guarding the city gate are higher than him.

Qin'er was still holding the jade pendant in her hands, and the summer night wind blew through her sleeves, her arms shrank back subconsciously, but she didn't take them back: "Bai Zhuangshi, my Highness has spared no effort to invite you, but I don't care if you are No one knows that the emperor is a hundred times stronger? The slaves are also dignified figures in the palace, a girl came to give you something alone tonight, you are so hard-hearted and not moved at all?"

Bai Cai shook his head and said, "Auntie speaks seriously. A certain bastard Bai is not worth the painstaking efforts of His Highness and Auntie."

This sentence speaks from the heart.Qin'er has a slender figure, and although the goose-yellow jacket skirt is warmer than other skirts, it is a summer dress after all, and Bai Cai is afraid that this beauty will be blown to the ground by the wind in the next moment.

"It's enough His Highness thinks it's worth it." Qin'er mentioned Yan Siyu with complete trust and admiration on her face, "Since he treats you as a national scholar, you must have the ability of a national scholar."

Bai Cai said firmly: "The summer night is cold, aunt should go back earlier."

"If the servant goes back like this, even if His Highness doesn't scold the servant, the servant will have no face to face His Highness in the future." Qin'er said stubbornly, "If the strong white man doesn't accept the jade pendant, the servant will stand here and die!"

Bai Cai suppressed a bit of pity in her heart, not to mention not answering, she passed Qin'er and was about to go up to the city gate, as if she was really going to spend the night with the gatekeeper.

"Bai Zhuang, please stay!" Seeing that he really didn't intend to move, Qin'er behind her was anxious and annoyed, so she could only call softly.

Bai Cai stopped, hoping that she would change her mind.The little girl was holding the jade pendant all the time, her arms were trembling and she didn't know how to put it down, she was afraid that she would really stand here all night.

Qin'er's beautiful eyes are like two glazed beads in the night, the smile on her face has long since disappeared, it is a little blue from the cold, but it is even more beautiful, like a white jade beauty.

"It seems that strong man Bai really doesn't want this jade pendant anymore?"

Bai Cai thought of the ambitious princess in Changpei Palace, sighed, shook his head and said, "Auntie, please go back, it's not good for a woman to be too strong."

Qin'er raised her willow eyebrows high, her face could no longer hide her anger, she threw the jade pendant on the ground and said: "If you don't want it, then don't, who cares about you?!"

She was born in Jiaofang, and was sent to Changpei Palace as a slave at the young age of [-].Yan Siyu doted on her, and the servants in the palace respected her. Later, she showed her talents to manage the palace for His Highness, and many people were afraid of her.Subconsciously, I felt that all the men in the world should bow down under her skirts. Today, I have repeatedly suffered in front of Bai Cai, which can be said to be the first time in more than ten years. In addition, His Royal Highness, who has admired him for a long time, suddenly fell in love with Wen Liang. No matter how much this fall is ignored, there are four parts of true love in six parts of acting.

But as soon as she left the jade pendant, she knew it was not good. If Bai Cai could not be recruited, His Highness would not spare her.

Startled by the sound of the jade pendant falling to the ground, Bai Cai's heart stopped beating, and it was too late to reach out to catch it, so he could only watch helplessly as the jade pendant hit the bluestone on the floor.

How could the mutton fat jade be able to withstand such a fall, it was broken into several pieces in an instant, and the thousand-gold treasure was worthless.

"You little girl, why are you so self-willed!" The fourth master in the world who was eloquently talking in Changpei Palace almost jumped.

He was not anxious for himself, but for the beauty in front of him.Princess Xiang'an is very strict, and there are rumors in the market.He was really afraid that he would see Qin'er's body thrown outside the palace gate tomorrow morning.

Qin'er was furious, and when she raised her eyes and saw the anxious expression on this man's face, an unspeakable feeling suddenly surged in her heart, she said: "You don't want this brand, I would have been punished, it doesn't make any difference if you punish more or less."

For a moment she forgot to call herself a slave.

Bai Cai was taken aback, and said casually, "Of course there is a difference."

Seeing that his expression softened, Qin'er's heart moved, tears flowed down in an instant, and she whimpered: "It doesn't matter! Your Highness is going to give me away. I finally begged for this opportunity. If I do it, how much more can I keep?" Years, if it can't be done...it can't be done...Anyway, I would rather die than get married!"

There is no reason for a woman to cry, and Bai Cai couldn't figure out the truth for a while, but she smashed Princess Xiang'an's jade pendant, that would be a great disaster!

He doesn't know how to coax people, so he can only continue clumsily: "Don't cry first! It doesn't matter what you cry, don't cry, don't cry..."

Qin'er cried beautifully, and the pear blossoms were raining, and she never forgot her manners at this time.She ignored Bai Cai, who had finally lost her sense of proportion, and instead talked about her daughter's thoughts: "Do you think a jade pendant is very valuable? Not at all! Just because it belongs to him, his things are all precious .I have a bunch of them, but none of them belong to me. Even myself is a plaything he can give away whenever he wants! If you really want to give it away, you might as well drop it!"

When I first met the dignified and generous court lady, now she was crying like an ordinary girl, crying so sincerely that Bai Cai's almost dry heart was moved.

He almost wanted to speak, but held back, for the righteousness in his chest.

Qin'er is not lying, she is truly grieving.When she was sent to His Highness, she had already missed the best time to practice literature and martial arts. Although she learned some Gu poison techniques, it was just icing on the cake. What His Highness really valued was her unparalleled beauty.

"Sometimes I really want to ruin this face!" Qin'er's crying gradually stopped, just like a summer thunderstorm suddenly stopped when it was the most intense, with a bit of tenacity of a palace woman showing in her eyebrows and eyes, she said softly, "But I can't. To destroy this face is to destroy myself. Bai Zhuangshi, can I send you back home? I regret it, breaking the jade pendant can only make His Highness send me away faster, and I have to find a way to atone for my sin .”

Bewitched by this changeable little girl, Bai Cai nodded subconsciously.

After regaining consciousness, the two had already walked out of the palace gate one after the other.The janitor Xiaobing lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at Qin'er's face, but staring at her embroidered shoes embroidered with peonies, his brow covered with cold sweat.

Bai Cai was silent, thinking clearly about the plot of the maid in charge, but couldn't figure out whether she regretted it, her eyes were fixed on the palace lantern in Qin'er's hand, and she remained silent.

He suddenly felt that his feeling at this time was probably similar to that of the gatekeeper. He didn't dare to look at her face, and turned his gaze to the distant and powerful power, while deliberately ignoring the power that was right in front of him.

A man can show his face and earn money to support his family, but a woman can make a man willingly support her.This is the power of women.A face like Qin'er may not be stronger than Princess Xiang'an.

Qin'er didn't speak either.She seemed to be still immersed in her own thoughts, the emerald pendant in her hair hardly moved when she walked, and her small steps did not appear to be in a hurry.She didn't need to ask about Bai Cai's address, the people under her command had already checked it out, and they were well-informed.

The surrounding people consciously avoided her, perhaps because of her beauty, or because they were afraid of her grace and grace. Occasionally, one or two wealthy children saw it and walked away, because they saw the peony palace lantern.

"You shouldn't go out of the palace." Bai Cai finally found a topic and broke the silence between the two, "When you go back, you will be alone with a woman, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Qin'er said indifferently: "His Highness has another courtyard outside the palace, and will send people to pick up the servants."

Bai Cai's residence is far away from the imperial palace, a place where people who can't get on the stage in Beijing and can't say that they don't have status usually live together.

There are five or six families living in the square courtyard. From a distance, Qin'er saw a middle-aged woman with the appearance of a peasant woman holding a lantern and looking around at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing Bai Cai coming back, she strode over with a happy face, stopped in front of Qin'er, and took a small step back.

Qin'er gave her a slight nod to salute, and said with a smile: "This one must be Mrs. Han, and the maidservant Pei Gong Qin'er has seen Mrs. before."

Mrs. Han has worked in the countryside for most of her life. She has never seen such an exquisite person. She hastily returned to the etiquette of the world, her face was flushed, and she said in a low voice, "I am Song Ci, Han Bao's wife."

When Bai Cai heard that Qin'er knew the people around him like the back of his hand, he was not very happy on the spot, and returned to his indifferent mood: "The person has been delivered, please go back, aunt."

After Qin'er's goal was achieved, she didn't say much, and after Shi Li said goodbye, she left with the extremely ostentatious palace lantern.

After she turned her back, Bai Caicai frowned tightly at her graceful figure.

The author has something to say: I originally planned to take Wen Liang out for a walk in this chapter, but the hero and beauty were written so smoothly that the number of words was unknowingly exceeded.

Song Ci...a name that suddenly came to mind.

Han Bao...burger
