White Hedge Dream

Chapter 232 Discussion

It's already a bit hot.

Sitting on the boat in the early morning, the wind blowing outside the window was not as cool as before.

The baby couldn't bear being locked in the room and kept crying.

"It seems that Shen Qing needs to move to the building to live on the boat so that he can take care of the baby more conveniently." Mrs. Zhuang said, taking the baby from the nanny's hand, patting her and pacing around the room, but it had no effect. The baby's body was straining outward-

Shen Qing once carried the child on the boat several times. He could make people invisible to the child, but because of this, the child also ran wild and refused to stay in the house.

Bai Li was dressing up in front of the mirror. Hearing this, he said, "It's okay. You can just carry her out."

Mrs. Zhuang hesitated: "Nanny, aren't you afraid of being seen?"

Although most people on the ship are resting at this moment, there are boatmen on duty and people coming and going on the dock.

The sudden appearance of a child is conspicuous.

Especially since Zhang Ze came last night.

Bai Li said: "Just because Zhang Ze has been here and let him see it, it doesn't matter anymore."

Mrs. Zhuang couldn't help but ask: "Would Zhang Ze not do anything if he knew Nannan's identity?"

Bai Li hummed: "No."

"Why did he..." Mrs. Zhuang asked, stopping mid-sentence.

Bai Li saw Mrs. Zhuang's worried look in the mirror.

Mrs. Zhuang also looked at her in the mirror and softened her face: "Ali, I just made wild rice with cane syrup. Remember to eat it later."

Bai Li looked at her in the mirror and nodded: "Okay, this is my favorite."

Mrs. Zhuang smiled and went out with the baby in her arms: "Let's take a walk and take my daughter to see the river..."

It seemed as if the previous doubt had never been raised.

The noisy children left, and the room fell into silence. Bai Li looked at the mirror, and his own face in the mirror turned into another face. The person in the mirror also sat lazily and reclined, mouthing at the door.

"She sees something is wrong with you," she said.

Bai Li combed his hair slowly and said, "It's not strange."

Shen Qing, who originally wanted to kill her, suddenly obeyed her words and left as soon as she was called.

There is also this Zhang Ze. Bai Xun was convicted and his entire family was executed, but he turned a blind eye to the young Bai Xun daughter who slipped through the net. Not to mention, the little princess who was replaced did not even try to eradicate the root cause...

She is a country girl, how can He De do such a thing?

Even if your physique is special...

What kind of peculiarity caused these two people to treat her like this?

Mrs. Zhuang is not a fool, and she is the one who guided her to become familiar with and master this trait.

"She called you by your name just now because she was afraid that you were no longer you, and she didn't ask too many questions, lest asking too many questions would disturb your sanity." The person in the mirror smiled and looked at her, "Bai Li, you Is it still you?"

Bai Li looked at the woman in the mirror, neatly pulled up her hair, and smiled at the mirror: "Everyone calls me Bai Li. If I'm not Bai Li, who else could I be?"

There were footsteps outside the door, and they stopped immediately: "Mrs. Bai, His Majesty the King of Chu is here."

Following the voice, the face in the mirror quickly faded away. Bai Li inserted the hairpin in place, looked at himself in the mirror and pursed his lips.

She knew that she had become very strange now.

But it doesn't matter. She was born a monster. At least now she knows who she is and what she wants to do. As for the future...

She doesn't care about the future.

Bai Li withdrew his gaze, stood up and walked out.

Li Yu had already boarded the boat and was slightly surprised to see Mrs. Zhuang holding her child on the bow of the boat looking at the river. Cai Songnian who was following behind him was even more startled.

"Where did this child come from?" he asked in a voice, looking at the two women in front of him.

I vaguely saw him on a boat in a building. He seemed to be cooking for the little lady Bai.

But why did a child suddenly appear?

No, it's not sudden. The young master had said before that he wanted to buy toys for the child. At that time, he also guessed, could the young master and Bai Li have a child?

Later, he did see the toys placed in the white-lidded house, but the child did not see them...

Unexpectedly, there is actually a child!

"What are you calling me?" Li Yu scolded him, looked at the child in Mrs. Zhuang's arms and smiled, and asked, "Can you come out now?"

Mrs. Zhuang nodded: "She said she could come out and walk around." She was helpless and said, "This child is too old to be locked up in the house."

Hearing these words, a trace of sadness flashed in Li Yu's eyes. Previously, he said that he would tidy up Prince Chu's Mansion as soon as possible and then take Bai Li and the child over. He could not let the child stay trapped in the cabin forever. But now, Prince Chu's Mansion not only She didn't become his, but instead had another mistress...

He couldn't even say these words.

"Come." He stretched out his hand and said, "I'll give you a hug."

Mrs. Zhuang handed the child over with a smile. Just as she reached out, Cai Songnian grabbed Li Yu from behind.

"Your Highness, no." He said urgently, looking around.

The people on the boat were fine, and they wouldn't say anything even if they had questions, but there were a lot of people coming and going on the pier during the day. If everyone saw Li Yu holding the child...

"Don't cause any misunderstanding," he whispered.

Especially now.

Now? Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, causing a misunderstanding? That’s not necessarily a bad thing…

"Nanny, come, let's go pick willow leaves." He ignored Cai Songnian, held the child in his arms, turned around and jumped off the boat.

Cai Songnian sighed, looked around cautiously, and hurriedly signaled for more servants to follow and surround Li Yu and the child. Fortunately, Li Yu held the child and did not stay on the dock for too long. When he looked up, he saw leaning on the railing on the boat. Li Yu immediately smiled and waved the baby's hand.

….

….

The child was put to sleep by Mrs. Zhuang and the wet nurse.

Li Yuwai sat on the cushion and sighed longly.

"Are you tired after taking care of the child for a while?" Bai Li said with a smile.

"How could it be possible? Nannan is so cute, she won't be tired no matter how much she carries her." Li Yu said, sitting up straight, "Li Chengyuan took the initiative to cling to Princess Jinyu."

Tell Bai Li what happened.

After hearing this, Bai Li said: "It's not surprising." He smiled again, "As he said, if he can do it once, he can do it a second time. If he can betray Empress Chiang, he can naturally betray the current emperor."

Li Yu sneered: "Li Chengyuan is really unbearable..." He looked at Bai Li again, "I didn't expect that he escaped the plot at the palace banquet, but he still didn't escape the marriage arranged by the princess."

"If a man is unmarried and a woman is unmarried, this can be considered a conspiracy." Bai Li said, "Since Princess Jinyu is interested, someone must be interested."

Li Yu pinched the sachet hanging from his waist and felt that the words in his heart were as complicated and clueless as the embroidery on the sachet.

"Then there's nothing we can do?" he murmured.

"Why can't you do anything?" Bai Li said, "Just try to figure it out."

Li Yu was puzzled for a moment and looked at her. Bai Li asked: "Do you want to marry the Li family's wife?"

"Of course not!" Li Yu said hurriedly, sitting up straight, "I have never met her, and I don't know her. No, even if I met her and knew her, I would not marry her. I don't like her. She, not to mention she is Li Chengyuan's granddaughter, even if she is not, I have no idea of ​​getting married to her, I..."

Bai Li was amused by his sudden words: "I know, I understand what you mean, just say you don't want to."

No, actually he hasn't finished speaking yet. What he wants to say is that he has someone he likes...

Li Yu squeezed the sachet with his hands.

"Since you don't want to, just tell Princess Jinyu that you don't want to." Bai Li said.

Reject Princess Jinyu? Li Yu looked at her and hesitated.

"I know this will anger Princess Jinyu, but you can't do everything as she wants. Sooner or later you will reach this point." Bai Li said, raising his eyebrows again, "Don't worry, if you anger her, if there is anything I am plotting against you."

After saying that, he looked at Li Yu.

"I can make people hallucinate, I can confuse the fake with the real, and I can help you resist hidden arrows, but, Li Yu, the premise of all this is that you are determined."

"If you are duplicitous or hesitant, and you have confused your mind first, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."

Of course he firmly knew who he liked and who he wanted to spend his life with. Li Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, I know how to do it."

Bai Li smiled and listened to the cry of a baby coming from the room: "Go and take care of the child."

Then he laughed again.

"It's a pity that Zhou Jingyun can't come during the day, otherwise he will be asked to take care of the children. Nannan is the closest to him."

How is that possible! Nannan is his sister, so she is naturally the closest to him. Li Yu stood up and went to the inner room: "Nanny, let me take you to catch fish."

…

…

In the afternoon, people were even more drowsy, but the scribes in the official residence did not lie down on their desks and fall asleep. Instead, their eyebrows and eyes gathered together, and they exclaimed and laughed from time to time.

Zhou Jingyun walked in and paused when he saw this. The scribes in the room also stopped talking and laughing, looking a little evasive.

It was obvious that they were talking about him. Zhou Jingyun didn't care. He looked at the clerk who was welcoming him with a smile and handed him a piece of paper: "Help me take out the autumn tax rolls for the past few years."

The scribe read the contents on the paper and said, "It's a bit old. Let us search carefully in the warehouse."

Zhou Jingyun nodded: "Don't worry, just give it to me tomorrow afternoon."

The clerk responded, watching Zhou Jingyun turn to leave, and subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, please sit down and have a cup of tea."

Zhou Jingyun nodded and thanked: "No, I'm not done yet."

After that, he turned around and headed out.

A scribe couldn't help but stand up: "Did you hear, Prince? The King of Chu is going to get married."

Say goodbye? Li Yu? Zhou Jingyun looked back in surprise, because there had been too many gossips about him recently, and he deliberately avoided the crowd, but he had never heard of this...

So even if Bai Li helped avoid the Zhu family, Li Yu still didn't escape Princess Jinyu's marriage.

Do you still need Baili's help this time?

He frowned: "With whom?"

Frowning! Frowning! The prince is not happy! The scribes had complicated expressions. Another person said first, "It's Li Chengyuan, from General Li's family!"

Li Chengyuan turned out to be his family, Zhou Jingyun thought thoughtfully, and he bumped into him again after going round and round.

…

…

"This old guy is so restless!"

When Zhang Ze walked into Hanliang Hall, Bai Ying already knew about it and was scolding Li Chengyuan.

"How dare you look down on me, look down on my prince, and commit an affair with that stupid woman, Princess Jinyu!"

Zhang Ze smiled and said: "Because this old guy is self-aware and knows that he cannot get into the eyes of the empress."

Bai Ying sneered: "If I don't use him, it's two different things than if he doesn't come to seek refuge with me."

Zhang Ze said: "My queen must not go to His Majesty to say that this marriage is not good, lest the mad dog bites people and ruins my reputation."

The emperor is now remembering the empress. Bai Ying is indeed the daughter of the guilty minister and has not officially recovered her identity. If Li Chengyuan and Princess Jinyu catch her, even though the prince cannot hurt his bones and muscles in his hands, he will inevitably be disgraced.

This is all because Princess Jinyu plotted against the Zhu family that day! Let Mrs. Zhu do something and encounter the Queen's ghost, causing her misfortune! Bai Ying gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Wang Degui stepped forward, "Although we don't ask about their marriage, we can add some excitement to them."

Bai Ying and Zhang Ze both looked at him.

"What's the excitement?"

Wang Degui smiled: "The King of Chu has a lot of exciting things going on, especially recently."

Bai Ying frowned: "Those ridiculous words to Zhou Jingyun? The Li family doesn't care." At this point, he sneered again, "Maybe this old guy Li Chengyuan will be happy, having Zhou Jingyun as half son-in-law."

Wang Degui said hurriedly: "It's not just this, there are more."

Bai Ying asked: "What else?"

"I've been looking at the building these days, and I found..." Wang Degui took a step forward, "Li Yu not only has a maid, but also a child."

Having a baby! Bai Ying's eyes lit up. It didn't matter whether he was a good man or a romantic person, but having a child before marriage was something that a real wife couldn't bear!

A smile appeared on Bai Ying's face: "Okay, okay, Wang Degui, go and tell everyone the good news. Congratulations to Miss Li for becoming a mother before she even entered the house!"

Wang Degui responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Madam, I will take care of it."

Bai Ying sat down with a smile and turned around to see Zhang Ze looking strange.

"What's wrong?" she asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Zhang Ze's eyes flashed slightly and he slowly shook his head: "No."

Wang Degui breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay if you don't have it." After saying that, he smiled flatteringly and said, "Just leave this little thing to me. I won't bother the Prime Minister."

Zhang Ze looked at him and nodded slowly: "Okay."

I didn’t check the typing on my mobile phone. If there are any typos, tell me and I will correct them. Thank you.
