Consort Zhanzhao

Bai Qingluo's status seemed to be higher, not only because the house she lived in was better, but also because the villagers who brought Zhao Bijia and others held their breath from the moment they saw her, and stood silently with their heads down.

"You don't have to worry about it, I'll take them to see the village chief." Following Bai Qingluo's words, the villagers just said yes and left.

But there was a suspicious pause in her sentence, Zhao Bijia looked at her mouth shape, and felt that she just wanted to say the elder.

"Brother Zhao, why do you keep looking at me?" The blush on Bai Qingluo's face didn't fade away, but it became hot again when Zhao Bijia watched.

Fortunately, Zhao Bijia remembered the men's clothing she was wearing now, so she finally didn't say the almost teasing sentence "You look very good-looking".

Yang and An glanced at Zhan Zhao, who seemed to be wandering away, with a smile that was not a smile, followed Zhao Bijia, and went to the village chief's house.

This made it even more obvious that Bai Qingluo's identity was unusual. When she entered the village chief's house, everyone she met would smile at her and greet her. It was only when she saw a few outsiders following her behind her that she restrained herself a little.

Bai Qingluo knocked on the door, called the village head uncle, then turned around and smiled at Zhao Bijia: "I'm afraid there's something going on inside, otherwise the door wouldn't be closed, we probably have to wait."

Zhao Bijia was still thinking about her identity, and whether her identity would be of any help to the purpose of their trip, but after all, she was doing two things with one heart, and in order not to let Bai Qingluo see it, she always had a smile on her face. laugh.

Smile, nod, "hmm".

It was so perfect that the perfect Bai Qingluo didn't dare to look at her anymore.

In just three to five breaths, the door opened, and another acquaintance who was barely acquainted came out - Sister Bai.

Seeing them at the door, Sister Bai flashed many expressions on her face. She was guarded, suspicious, and a little bit happy, but in the end, all these expressions turned into a smile, and said, "Why are you?"

Zhao Bijia stepped forward and said: "Come to play in the mountains, I don't want to get lost."

"Why are we all talking at the door, come in quickly." An elderly voice sounded in the room, Bai Qingluo hurried out of the door, led a few people in, and said: "They are lost guests, I want... let They live in my house."

The village head and Sister Bai exchanged a very veiled look.

After a while, the village head said, "Since you like it, it's fine to live in your house."

Elder Sister Bai also said, "I'll find someone to send them down the mountain later."

The matter was settled so simply, Bai Qingluo led them to her home, "At this point, I'm afraid I haven't eaten, I'll go and see what else there is."

Zhao Bijia could clearly see that apart from Bai Qingluo who welcomed them, the village chief and sister Bai all smiled with alienation, obviously not wanting to get involved.

"It's not busy, it's not busy, we've been climbing here for a day, and we can't eat anything, just some light porridge."

Zhao Bijia said a few words politely, and Sister Bai smiled, and said, "I'm much older than you, but you always call me elder sister, I always feel that this is taking advantage of you."

Zhao Bijia looked at Bai Qingluo with anticipation and admiration in her eyes, and then remembered that she called Sister Bai to be her aunt. Anyway, she is a girl, and this is a bad debt no matter what, "I call you Aunt Bai. good?"

Aunt Bai smiled, as if thanking her for her wit, and said: "I'll make porridge for you, and two side dishes. You've been tired all day, so you should eat more even if you don't have a good appetite."

The village chief's house was only half a street away from Bai Qingluo's house, and they arrived soon.

Bai Qingluo hesitated for a while, and then took them to the guest room on the first floor, and pointedly said to Zhao Bijia: "My aunt and I live on the second floor, the first floor is a bit damp, or you Live on the second floor."

How dare Zhao Bijia avoid Bai Qingluo's expectant eyes and imitate Zhan Zhao's serious face, "The first floor is fine."

Bai Qingluo went out very disappointed, and came in with a smile after a while, carrying hot water, and said, "Drink the water, I'll see if my aunt can help."

Zhao Bijia finally breathed a sigh of relief, and just after taking two sips of hot tea, he saw Zhan Zhao looking at her expressionlessly.

It's just that no matter how you look at it, it feels a little...well, it's more forceful than usual.

"You're like this," Zhan Zhao said three words, and seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he softened his voice and said, "It's not easy to hide your identity from others."

Zhao Bijia hesitated for a moment, "I really don't want to hide it from her, but..."

But looking at Bai Qingluo's age, and her pure and shy behavior, it's obviously her first love. First love fell in love with a girl who disguised herself as a man. What a blow to life... It's not as good as Obliterated in the long river of identity and time.

It is much better to leave a little sadness than to ruin the three views.

"We're going back to Bianliang in a few days, and we won't be able to stay for a few days. She's so young, she'll forget me in two days." Although Zhao Bijia didn't say it clearly, her words and expressions showed the appearance of an old driver. Zhao's face changed when he saw it.

It's broken...Zhao Bijia inexplicably felt a little vigilant, and remedied: "Besides, my identity... well, I can't be with her no matter what, and it will fade after a long time."

Saying it is the same as not saying it, Zhan Zhao looks like he has not been comforted at all.

Yang and An were still adding fuel and jealousy, "With your status, it's not too much to marry ten or eight of you and go home to make offerings."

no no no!Zhao Bijia wished she could cover Yang and An's mouths in person, beware of being pointed out by him!

Yang He'an sneered twice, and said: "I think that girl is not bad, she is good-looking, and her character is also good. If she really takes her back, Mrs. Madam might be so happy."

But even if it was gloating, Yang and An were very measured and said these two sentences, not because they were afraid that Zhan Zhao would point him out if they said too much, but because they were afraid that the princess would be unhappy.

Thinking of this, Yang and An poured a cup of tea for the princess like a remedy.

Zhao Bijia glared at him, then looked at Zhan Zhao, and whispered, "Brother Ouyang." With a relationship with such a high-status person, wouldn't it be a little more certain to treat Brother Ouyang?

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time.

"Only this once." After saying that, he stood up and went to the yard.

Zhao Bijia heaved a sigh of relief, smelling the scent wafting in from the kitchen, she seemed to be really hungry.

At the same time, the two uncles and nephews in the kitchen sighed at the same time, closed the bamboo pole used for monitoring, and the originally indistinct voice became more and more inaudible.

"It's not that she doesn't like me..." Bai Qingluo murmured, "It's just because of some secular prejudice."

Aunt Bai looked at her silently, her eyes full of disapproval.

"I see...I—" before she finished speaking, Bai Qingluo had tears in her eyes.

Aunt Bai patted her head, and said thoughtfully: "I was thinking...you brother from the Zhao family has an unusual status——"

"They just talked about it." Bai Qingluo interrupted her aunt before she could finish speaking, "And he also gave me such a precious gauze, and he is a big businessman from Bianliang, so his family must be either rich or expensive. "

Aunt Bai patted her head again. Although she was interrupted, she was not angry at all, but rather happy that Bai Qingluo was so lively.

"Not this one, do you remember the first time we met them, you said two of them have Gu?"

Bai Qingluo nodded, and dipped some cold water on her red and swollen eyes.

"Then the second time I got a second thought, it's just..." Aunt Bai bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I think the Gu on their body is somewhat familiar."

Bai Qingluo snorted, and her expression became serious.

"Looks like it was brought out by our family, and it's a prescription from many years ago." Aunt Bai pondered for a moment, and then said: "Nanzhao was in chaos back then, and our family lost many Gu masters. strangeness."

"You mean... Brother Zhao's family may be—" Bai Qingluo didn't know what to think of, her ears turned red, "My cousin?"

Aunt Bai nodded solemnly, and Bai Qingluo was so nervous that she could even hear her breathing, "Cousin and cousin." After she finished speaking, she smiled and almost jumped out of joy, "I'll call them Have a meal."

Although he pretended to be lost, he actually walked up from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. Zhan Zhao, Yang and An were pretty good. Zhao Bijia was indeed tired, and started yawning after eating.

Bai Qingluo hugged her the quilt and other things, looked at her very satisfied and said: "You rest, I will take you out for a stroll tomorrow."

Zhao Bijia was so sleepy that she was about to cry, she didn't make any other movements except nodding, and even Bai Qingluo didn't respond when she took her hand.

"Miss Bai." Zhan Zhao stood up, and cleverly pulled Zhao Bijia into his hands, "Men and women can't kiss each other."

Bai Qingluo bit her lip, looked at Zhan Zhao resentfully, snorted and took out a pouch from the cabinet, opened it and squeezed out some herbs for Zhao Bijia to sprinkle on the bedside, "There are a lot of bugs this season, so be careful when you sleep at night. .” He said and threw the purse into Yang and An’s hands, “You sprinkle a little too.”

After speaking, he glared at Zhan Zhao again before leaving.

This is the first time that Yang and An saw a girl show Zhan Zhao's face. The expression on his face was not to mention how wonderful, "This is really..." He shook his head and smiled, but turned his face in an instant, squinting. Eyes said: "You should let go."

Zhan Zhao lowered his head slightly and saw Zhao Bijia who was still in his hand, as docile as a little sheep. He felt emotions he had never had before, and he didn't even have the thought to talk to Yang and An.

Carefully helped Zhao Bijia to the bedside, removed her shoes, and put her on the bed again, "Go to sleep."

"You!" Yang and An dodged to the side of the two, stretched out their hand to Zhan Zhao's shoulder, Zhan Zhao didn't even hide, and made Yang and An stop after only saying a word.

"Aren't you afraid that if you reveal your identity, she will blame you?"

Yang and An's hands were frozen in the air, their eyes were erratic, and many emotions flashed across them.

Fortunately, Zhan Zhao didn't do anything other than take off his shoes. Yang and An snorted, and took advantage of the chance that they passed by each other and whispered in his ear: "You should always be so careful!"

Zhao Bijia felt that she had never slept so comfortably, and had no dreams all night. When she woke up, she felt that the sunlight shining into the room was full of colorful light.

"Brother Zhao, are you awake?"

But just after waking up and drinking a glass of water, there was a knock on the door. Zhao Bijia answered, and carefully checked that there was nothing lacking in her clothes. Even her ears and eyes were covered with something, and then she went to open the door.

Three people stood at the door.

Holding hot water in her hand, Bai Qingluo said, "Come and wipe your face, we'll go out after breakfast."

Yang He'an also held hot water in his hand, looking sullenly at the Bai girl who was robbing him of an errand.

As for Zhan Zhao, he couldn't tell anything at first, but he smiled immediately, and asked in a voice so gentle that he could get tired of it, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Zhao Bijia nodded subconsciously, and asked again, "What about you?"

However, when he said this, Bai Qingluo and Yang and An glared at him, and of course they were looking at Zhan Zhao.

Zhao Bijia reacted a little guilty, and felt that this scene was not quite right, even in her father's harem, there had never been such a tense situation.

So...why use her father's harem as an example...

Zhao Bijia looked at the two basins of water in front of her, feeling a little embarrassed.But she grew up in the palace and never saw anything, so she calmly and calmly washed her hands first with the water brought by Yang and An, and then washed her face with the water brought by Baiqingluo.

He asked again, "What's for breakfast?"

Bai Qingluo, who was still competing with Yang, An, and Zhan Zhao, immediately turned her head around, smiled at Zhao Bijia, and said, "Auntie steamed bamboo rice and bacon."

Zhao Bijia gave Yang and An a wink, and went out with Bai Qingluo, "No wonder it smells a fragrance."

Zhao Bijia didn't know about the oolong-like unilateral confession incident last night, but she could tell that Aunt Bai's attitude towards her was much better.

Especially the kindly and gratifying gaze, as if looking at his own junior.Zhao Bijia couldn't help but feel a little scared.She thought about the journey, it was nothing more than giving some things, but she had never heard Doctor Bai say that it would be fine if she gave something away.

"Try this." Aunt Bai picked out food for her by herself, and said: "You didn't eat much last night, eat more in the morning, and let her take you out to have a look."

This actually coincided with Zhao Bijia's original plan. She tasted Auntie Bai's rice in bamboo tubes and couldn't help admiring: "It's more fragrant than Bianliang's."

Zhao Bijia didn't mean anything else when she said this. Her own father was the emperor, so she didn't want to eat anything. Naturally, she had eaten something with local characteristics such as bamboo rice.

But these words had a different meaning in the ears of Aunt Bai, who already felt that everyone was relatives: If Miao Jiang hadn’t moved out, why bother to eat bamboo rice in Bianliang?

The smile on Aunt Bai's face became more and more kind.

Although Zhao Bijia was a little apprehensive, she ate with the emperor since she was a child. When she was nervous, she would always choose someone to imitate, and at this time it was obviously more appropriate to imitate the emperor.

But... There is no concubine on this table that Zhao Bijia can treat with tenderness. After she unconsciously scanned all the people around the table, she subconsciously picked a bamboo tube for Bai Qingluo.

She even imitated her father's laughter, "Try this, although I don't know how to pick it, but I think there is nothing wrong with Baiyi's cooking."

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, not understanding what happened to her.But Yang Hean, who had seen the emperor eating, couldn't bear to look directly at it anymore, and there was no second action other than eating.

Zhao Bijia added vegetables to Baiqingluo, "Eat more to grow taller", "This dish is good, you should try it too."

In short, after this meal, Bai Qingluo's smile became more and more shy, and the blush on her face never faded away. As for Aunt Bai... After sending these people out, she couldn't help but sighed when she looked at the things on the table , I don’t know what to think of, I just sat at the table blankly, and didn’t speak for a long time.

Because of Zhao Bijia's constant persuasion, Bai Qingluo inevitably got full and went out for a long time, but her stomach was still not feeling well.

"Wait." Bai Qingluo said suddenly, and after she finished speaking, she got into the bushes and didn't know what to look for.

Zhao Bijia sighed. Actually, she was quite stressed to get along with each other like this. After all, she couldn't call herself a girl at this time. Firstly, she missed a good opportunity, and secondly... it was indeed more convenient to dress up as a man.

It's just that she didn't like it... She lowered her head to look at her almost empty chest, turned her head to look at Zhan Zhao, and asked, "Is it so difficult to guess?"

Zhan Zhao changed his expressionless face from yesterday, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, "What do you want my subordinates to guess?"

Pooh!Zhao Bijia turned her head away, but her earlobe was a little red.

Not long after, Baiqingluo came out from the grass again, holding a few red fruits in her hand, "This is Shanlihong, sweet and sour, and it can also strengthen the spleen and stomach. Do you want two?"

Zhao Bijia reached out and took one. Isn't this a small hawthorn?She also imitated Bai Qingluo's movements, but when she was about to wipe the fruit on her body, she stopped suddenly, with a smile on her face, she said: "Zhanwei?"

Zhan Zhao didn't know, so he walked in two steps to Zhao Bijia's side, and saw that she stretched out her hand and rubbed the fruit on Zhan Zhao's body, choosing the widest chest.

Moreover, she stretched out her finger maliciously, saying it was for rubbing fruit, but in fact... her two fingers rubbed back and forth on Zhan Zhao's chest.

Sure enough, she felt that the place where her fingertips touched was tense in an instant, and even the faint smile that had been hanging on his face since this morning became a little stiffer.

Zhao Bijia lowered her head slightly, and saw that Zhan Zhao's fists were also clenched.

"It's almost there." Zhao Bijia held up the fruit and looked at the sun. The gray fruit became crystal clear after rubbing against Zhan Zhao's chest, and the sun reflected a little on it.

Zhao Bijia smiled at Zhan Zhao, put the fruit into his mouth in front of him, took it out after biting halfway, licked the non-existent juice around his lips, and realized that he couldn't even hear the sound of Zhan Zhao's breathing , then turned to Bai Qingluo and said, "It's sweet and delicious."

The innocent Bai Qingluo was at a loss, she didn't understand what Zhao Bijia's actions meant just now, but following her words, she handed her another fruit, "Another one?"

Zhao Bijia shook her head, "Go ahead and eat." If she wanted to continue eating like this... the person behind her might not be able to take it anymore.

The few people continued to walk forward, and they had already left the stockade and walked towards the small lake they passed by yesterday.

Bai Qingluo said: "You guys come... I remember last time I said it was to visit the shop?"

Zhao Bijia cheered up, and tentatively said: "Actually, there are other things." She repeated what she had said several times in the past two days, "There is an elder in the family who suffers from scrofula and carbuncle, and the doctor said to use Sanji mushroom Talent is good, so our trip is in the name of exploring business opportunities, but we are actually looking for medicinal materials."

Zhao Bijia saw that Baiqingluo didn't speak from the corner of her eyes, so she simply said, "It's just that I've looked at several medicine shops down the mountain in the past two days, and there are no such herbs for sale, so we thought we might as well go up the mountain to have a look. If not, we can only go to Dali by road.”

"What's so hard about this?"

Bai Qingluo was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, "Your elder is me—we have this medicinal material in our village, and I'll ask them to pack some for you later."

Unexpectedly, it was solved like this, Zhao Bijia was really pleasantly surprised, "This is the best!"

"Then you stay for two more days?" Bai Qingluo said cautiously: "You don't need to go to Dali, we have everything in this village, and the scenery is also good. My aunt is good at cooking."

Needless to say, Zhao Bijia also wanted to find a chance to stay, and besides, she kept lying to her that she was a young man, so she inevitably felt a little apologetic in her heart, but she felt that she couldn't just be addicted like this... Zhao Bijia thought about it for a while He said: "It's okay to stay for a few days, but it's just that we have to go over the mountains to go to Bianliang. If it snows in winter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Bijia also despised herself a little bit, this refusal didn't carry any weight at all.

Bai Qingluo's expression was gloomy, but it didn't take long for her to be happy again, "I haven't been to Bianliang yet, if only I could celebrate the New Year in Bianliang." After speaking, she smiled at Zhao Bijia, very brightly.

"If I go to Bianliang with you, you should take care of me on the way."

Zhao Bijia gritted her teeth and agreed.

Bai Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and didn't continue the topic, but introduced the lake water to her, "Taste it is sweet, this water is left from the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and passed through several underground rivers , and then gathered here to become a lake, and the people on the whole mountain eat the water here."

Just talking, she was a little melancholy, "I have never traveled far when I grow up, and I don't know if I will not be acclimatized when I arrive in Bianliang."

Zhao Bijia didn't know how to answer, or she didn't want to answer.

Everyone fell silent for a while, and the expectation in Bai Qingluo's eyes gradually turned into disappointment.

"Let's go back, I'll take you to get the medicinal materials first."
