White Hedge Dream

Chapter 241 Good-looking

"Madam, the prince has someone say that he is back."

The maid said outside the door.

Xu's mother couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "The prince just went out and came back so soon. In the past, he never saw anyone around all day long."

"I would only admire him if he is still away from home every day." Mrs. Dongyang Hou curled her lips and said to the maid outside the door, "I am busy, don't let him come to see me."

In order to avoid bringing Bai Li here again, the two of them were chattering in front of her and quarreled to death.

The maid responded and backed away.

Mother Xu smiled and placed a few pieces of fabric on the Luohan bed to show Mrs. Dongyang Hou: "We can make some small clothes."

"It's unnecessary." Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted, "She didn't let me take care of the child."

Even though he said that, he still squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the fabric, stretched out his hands and rubbed it...

There were footsteps outside the door again, and the maids and women were making noises.

"Mrs. Xue is here."

Hearing these words, Mrs. Dongyang Hou panicked a little and signaled to Mother Xu: "Put it away quickly."

Mother Xu also hurriedly hugged the cloth, trying to find a place to hide it. The door curtain rang and Mrs. Xue walked in.

"Why are you here at this time?" Mrs. Dongyang Hou stood up to welcome her, blocking Mother Xu, and asked, "Didn't someone deliver fish soup early in the morning? What are you doing here in person?"

Mrs. Xue glanced at her and then at Mother Xu behind her.

"What are you two master and servant doing hiding in the house?"

Mother Xu had no choice but to stand over, curtsy, and smile: "I will cut the clothes for Madam."

Mrs. Xue looked at the fabric she held in her arms and saw that it was broken flowers or flower and grass patterns. This was not a pattern for making small clothes!

It's obviously only used by children.

"Did Jingyun bring back the children from outside?" she asked directly.

Xu’s mother laughed and said, “Where did Madam hear the gossip…”

"Everyone in your kitchen is talking about it." Mrs. Xue interrupted her, "Stop covering up."

The servant girl who was sent to deliver the fish soup heard it in the kitchen and immediately told Mrs. Xue when she got back.

Mrs. Xue rushed over immediately.

"So there is really someone outside, and the baby was born?"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou curled her lips: "Yes, and no." She waved her hand again, "Anyway, sister, just leave it alone."

"What do you mean there is nothing?" Mrs. Xue said angrily, "How can I ignore it?"

Seeing the way Mrs. Dongyang Hou and Mother Xu were dodging, she sat down.

"Don't worry, I won't ask you, and you don't have to try to talk me out of it. Go call Jing Yun and I'll ask him personally."

…

…

When Mrs. Xue was giving instructions to Mother Xu, Zhou Jingyun came out of the shower and was watching Bai Li sitting at the desk writing.

"Help me go to the warehouse to find these spices." She said to Zhou Jingyun.

Zhou Jingyun nodded, thinking of what she said to Li Yu: "What gift do you want to make?"

Bai Li smiled at him: "Grandfather and grandson are equal."

Zhou Jingyun understood that Bai Li had told him before that Li Julang was her work.

He also remembered that when he had just returned to Beijing, he saw Mrs. Ding'anbo making a fuss at home, saying that the dried flowers sent by Zhuang were evil spirits.

He resolutely stopped these words so as not to cause Zhuang Li any trouble. After all, he was the one who wanted to bring her here, and he should keep her safe.

It happened this time last year.

It feels like a world away.

Zhou Jingyun lowered his head to look at the smiling woman.

The face is also different.

But she was still by his side, smiling and talking to him, so didn't this mean that everything had not changed?

"Do you need me to pick a lotus bud for you?" he asked with a smile.

…

…

Xu's mother also didn't expect that it would be so difficult to find the prince at home.

In view of what Mrs. Xue wanted to ask and the secrets in the Crown Prince's courtyard, Xu's mother came in person. When she came outside the courtyard, a woman inside said that the Crown Prince had gone to the warehouse. Xu's mother hurried to the warehouse again. When she arrived at the warehouse, here The steward said that the prince had already picked up the things and left. Mother Xu hurriedly came back and asked the maids along the way, and learned that the prince had gone to the garden...

When Xu's mother finally brought the prince to Madam's place, Madam Xue had already finished lunch with Madam Dongyang Hou.

Zhou Jingyun held three lotus buds in his arms and saluted with a smile.

"Auntie is here," he said, handing over a lotus bud. "I picked it specially for my aunt."

If it were a lotus, it would be worth giving. Lotus buds... Mrs. Xue took it with a strange expression.

"And mother's." Zhou Jingyun said with a smile and handed over another one.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted softly, "It's so special, it's strange, it must be for the white fence." She wanted to make a yin and yang sentence, but she was afraid of letting it slip, so she curled her lips and took it.

"My son is really filial," she said.

But she didn't say anything, and Mrs. Xue was not stupid either. She looked at Zhou Jingyun holding the remaining one in his hand and asked directly: "Is this one for your new sweetheart?"

She emphasized the new words.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jingyun shook his head: "No."

So simple? Mrs. Xue glared: "Don't lie to me!"

Zhou Jingyun solemnly nodded: "I won't lie to my aunt." He added, "I know what my aunt is here to ask. There is something hidden in this matter that cannot be told. Please wait a little longer. When I can tell you, I will tell you the cause and effect." Tell you carefully."

He stood up and bowed.

"Auntie, please believe me."

Mrs. Xue looked at Zhou Jingyun who was sincerely giving him a gift. His face was clear, and with a lotus bud in his arms, he looked even more elegant and handsome. The rumors of this mess in the world did not leave any stain on his body...

Mrs. Xue swallowed back all the words that came to her mouth.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to tell me." She said, looking at him and waving her hands, "Go ahead, don't let the lotus buds wither."

Zhou Jingyun was no longer polite and resigned with a smile.

When Zhou Jingyun left, Mrs. Xue turned to look at Mrs. Dongyang Hou and saw her winking at the side.

"What do you want to say?" she asked with a frown.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou couldn't help it anymore: "You asked the wrong question just now." Mrs. Xue was puzzled: "What was the wrong question?"

You shouldn't ask Zhou Jingyun if the lotus buds are for his new sweetheart, you should ask if they are for your sweetheart.

Because that sweetheart is old!

Zhou Jingyun looks like a decent gentleman, but he is actually very cunning. He caught Mrs. Xue's words and answered so readily!

If you ask him if it is for his sweetheart, see if he dares to answer no against his will!

However, these words cannot be said to Mrs. Xue. Mrs. Dongyanghou calmly put her thoughts away again: "It's nothing. If he doesn't say it, just don't say it."

Mrs. Xue didn't ask any further questions. She looked her over and said, "You are very happy."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou was stunned for a moment: "What did you say! Why am I so happy?"

Mrs. Xue snorted coldly: "I still can't tell whether you are happy or not? You have been like this since you were a child. Whenever you are happy, you scratch your head and scratch your head!" After saying that, he glanced at her, "Just like when I liked Mr. Zhuang, you are very fond of the new and dislike the old. quick."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou was angry, why did she scratch her head? She is already old! Her sister still said this about her!

besides! When had she ever liked Mr. Zhuang! Not the old one, not the new one!

She was just grateful to that person for saving Mrs. Xue's life!

…

…

Bai Li took the lotus bud from Zhou Jingyun and looked at it with a smile.

"The buds chosen by the crown prince are so beautiful," she said, "much better than the ones I originally chose."

After praising others randomly, Zhou Jingyun glanced at her and remembered that in order to show the love between husband and wife, she often praised him, picking him up when he came in and seeing him off...

He thought in his mind and said it out loud.

"You have wronged me!" Bai Li said, looking at him and smiling, "I really think the prince is good, has a good heart, and does good things..."

She also showed him counting on her fingers.

Zhou Jingyun looked at the white fingers held up in front of his eyes, her words ringing in his ears.

"He's also a good-looking person."

Zhou Jingyun looked over his white and soft fingers and looked at Bai Li's face. Their eyes met each other, and the sparkling light in his eyes made people dizzy.

"You look good too." He said softly.

The waves seemed to freeze for a moment, then started to whirlpool, and Bai Li's laughing voice came to his ears.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am not as good-looking as you."

Zhou Jingyun hummed: "Yes, but, it still looks good."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Li was stunned for a moment, looked at him with big eyes, and then laughed.

"Your Majesty, you really tell the truth!"

Is the truth that she is not as good-looking as him? Zhou Jingyun also laughed, turned away his eyes, and touched his nose.

"There are still a few fragrant things from the warehouse at home that are not very good." He said, "I'll go out to the fragrant medicine shop to have a look."

Bai Li smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty, I have you."

Zhou Jingyun walked out of the room and looked back in the yard. Bai Li didn't send him out as before, but...

His eyes fell on the east window. Bai Li stood by the window and looked at him with a smile.

Seeing him looking over, Bai Li smiled at him and waved his hand.

This is not the farewell of the fake wife, this is the farewell of Bai Li.

Zhou Jingyun also smiled at her. He understood her thoughts, but he didn't know if she understood his... thoughts just now.

He said that he knew that she was not as good-looking as him, but he still said that she was good-looking because, to the person he likes, she looks good no matter what.

Regardless of looks.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Zhou Jingyun stroked the hot tip of his nose again.

He also blurted out at that time.

Fortunately, she didn't understand. Otherwise, it would have been terrible to scare her.

…

…

Seeing Zhou Jingyun's figure disappear from sight, Bai Li reached out and pinched his earlobe and smiled again.

He actually said she was pretty.

Is she good looking? Impossible.

Because of her weird physique, no one dared to look at her carefully, and she hardly looked at herself, let alone whether she looked good or not.

She was born to be feared.

This was the first time someone complimented her on her beauty.

Bai Li looked at the lotus buds that had just been placed in the vase by the window. The buds were crystal clear and seemed to reflect her face. She looked at her own face and couldn't help but laugh.

…

…

Hearing that Zhou Jingyun had gone out, the nanny also came to play in the yard with her child in her arms. Seeing this, she couldn't help but turn around and call Huang Ru.

"Madam." She laughed softly, "Look how happy the little lady is smiling."

Huang Ru heard the sound and looked over, and sure enough she saw Bai Li standing in front of the window, holding her cheeks in her hands and smiling like a flower.

She was about to laugh, but suddenly her face darkened and she took a step forward.

"You go in first," she said.

The nanny was puzzled, but seeing Huang Ru's face turned gloomy, she hurriedly stepped back and carried the child back indoors.

Huang Ru walked to the window and looked at the white fence inside the window.

Bai Li looked at her with a smile.

A smile appeared on Huang Ru's face, and she asked softly: "Bai Li, what are you doing?"

Bai Li looked at her, his hands on his cheeks slowly raised and landed on top of his head.

"I'm here." She said with a smile, "Blooming."

The hands she raised above her head slowly opened, like flower petals blooming.

"Do you think I look good?"
