Chapter 67: The futility of the chess piece's guilt

He looked at the picture of Bai Yi holding Yan Er very carefully, without the slightest omission, he didn't have time to jump up from the crowd, he looked at Bai Yi's extremely fast steps when he saw Yan Er about to fall to the ground, it was indeed the reaction of a person without martial arts, and his appearance was indeed flawless, and he was invited by the emperor to see His Royal Highness the princess who returned.

Mu Lingyi smiled rarely, and he bowed to Bai Yi and thanked him: "I want to think that Prince Bai Yi helped Yan'er." ”

Yan Le just wanted to continue to introduce Bai Yi and became familiar with him, but he was pulled by the person behind him and almost fell to the ground again, but fortunately, Ling Yi was by his side and quickly protected her and hugged her into his arms. Yan Le angrily left Mu Lingyi's arms, turned to look at the culprit Wu Tingmo, and protested in a suppressed voice: "Brother! How are you like that! ”

Yan Le was just about to step forward to hit him, but another center of gravity was unstable and was about to fall, but Mu Lingyi beside her was caught like a child, her anger dissipated, and she realized that it was her own problem.

Wu Ting looked at Yan Le indifferently, and stepped forward to help her with apologies, "Lingxi, brother knows that he is wrong, don't be angry." "Why is my sister so weak today, she almost fell in front of the public with a gentle pull.

Yan Le had already realized that it was his own problem, and his anger towards Wu Tingmo disappeared all at once, it turned out that it was not his brother's frizzy problem, it was the problem of his skirt, the back hem of the skirt was left too long, because he wore it all the time he wore it all the time, and he made his steps unsteady when he stepped on his toes just now.

She smiled and apologized to her brother, "Brother is embarrassed, it turned out to be the fault of my skirt, I don't blame you." She looked at her feet embarrassedly, turned around and whispered to Mu Lingyi: "Pay more attention to me later, I'm afraid that I will fall to the earth." ”

Bai Yi laughed at himself inexplicably, he and the warmth in front of him seemed to be separated by an invisible wall, he couldn't walk, he couldn't squeeze in, even though he had rehearsed the possibility of approaching her countless times in his heart, when he really saw her, his actions were blocked, and there were too many people in the way.

He always had his polite smile on his face, "Bai Yi wants to persuade the princess, it is better to change this skirt, and others will have time to take care of themselves." He looked directly into Yan Le's smiling eyes, and shook his head in his heart with contempt, no matter how cautious you and your protector are, I will take you down, this is my pleasure now. He continued to throw out the details that aroused Yan Le's curiosity, "Princess, don't wait for a mistake to regret it." ”

Yan Le and Mu Lingyi both found out, and he meant something. Mu Lingyi spoke before Yan Le, and he said extremely indifferently: "Yan Er doesn't need to be afraid, with your intelligence, just pay more attention, it's just a little... A skirt. ”

"Well," she looked up at Mu Lingyi and smiled sweetly, and then politely thanked Bai Yi, "But thank you Bai Yi for thinking about me." Yan Le's curiosity about Bai Yi in her heart was constantly rising, she thought that she should not reject him for thousands of miles, but should try to find out the topic between the two to get close to him, but she was interrupted by Wu Tingmo's words before she could speak.

Wu Tingmo still had a sunny smile on his face, but he hid a knife in his words, "Prince Bai Yi is full of poetry and books, and he is very knowledgeable, why is the word inappropriate when talking to people." This proton has something to say to his sister, as if he is alluding to something.

Yan Le felt that this was a good topic, her smile deepened, her tone softened, and the dialogue was easy: "Read poetry and books, knowledgeable? No wonder Bai Yi clothes are dressed up by elegant people. ”

Even if Yan Le was fooled and walked into his trap, Bai Yi always had a faint expression, he chuckled and shook his head, and his tone was as detached as ever to see through the world: "Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles." Bai Yi's understanding of everything in this world comes from books. Books are the great food and spiritual food in this world. ”

Yan Le didn't dislike his pretentiousness, her eyes flashed with admiration, and she said softly: "Bai Yike is really an elegant person, I admire erudite people very much, but it's also funny, I just barely know how to read." "When she was a child, she always met the conditions of the master, but the master's conditions were not high, so the learning was mediocre, and she couldn't stand the boredom in the book.

"The princess is overrated, and reading books is just a way for Bai Yi to spend this wasteless time." He smiled lightly, and his words induced Yan Le, "The prince is willing to come and communicate with Bai Yi often to exchange the knowledge in this book." ”

Yan Le was extremely happy, nodded and replied: "I will take Bai Yi's words seriously, I rarely make friends, and I hope Bai Yi will tolerate me more." ”

"The princess laughed, Bai Yi also has few friends." Friend, what a ridiculous word, even family can push you into the abyss of the world, what emotion can friends represent, it is just a cover word for dark exchanges between people.

Mu Lingyi looked at Yan Le beside him and kept trying his best to talk to Leng Baiyi, he was already a little helpless in his heart, this girl didn't know how far-fetched she was saying. He spoke out to alleviate Yan Le's embarrassment, "I heard that Prince Bai Yi rarely leaves the palace, but Yan Er is afraid that Yan Er can't come often on this palace wall, so Yan Er Mo left an appointment for Prince Bai Yi that he couldn't go." ”

Wu Tingmo finally saw the clue, and he didn't want his sister to have a relationship with an unfathomable proton, so his words deliberately revealed that the palace wall was difficult to enter, and it was not as fresh as the outside: "This palace is heavily guarded, not as chic as outside, Lingxi, my brother will take you to a more interesting place to play." Wu Tingmo's refusal to make friends with Yan Le was more direct than Mu Lingyi's, he took his sister's hand and wanted to leave, but Yan Le refused.

Compared with Wu Tingmo's directness, Mu Lingyi respected Yan Le's wishes more, he would remind her of Bai Yi's mystery and danger, but he didn't want to force her to stop tracking down curious things, he chose to protect her and let her do what she wanted.

Yan Le pulled Wu Tingmo to stand still with his backhand, and comforted him: "Brother, my father and mother are going to take me to see the imperial grandmother." She turned her head to look at her parents and eldest brother who were still chatting with the ministers, and suddenly an idea germinated, she turned her head and looked at Mu Lingyi with a smile, her fingers lightly tapped on his chest, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "You help me stop my brother, I will test this person, you promise me that I will thank you." ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Mu Lingyi and winked mischievously, waiting for him to answer herself.

Bai Yi chuckled on the side: "It seems that the princess and Commander Mu have a deep fate. ”

Yan Le wanted to blurt out her relationship with Mu Lingyi, but was robbed by her mother behind her, "Prince Bai Yi said with a smile, the little girl is still young, and Commander Mu is the fast son-in-law of Chenglong who is hotly pursued by the ministers of the court, don't let people listen to this, I feel that the means of mercy are extraordinary." ”

Yan Le turned around and walked to her mother's side, she lowered her head to hide the smile that she couldn't hide, Senior Brother Ling Yi, Senior Brother Ling Yi, your flower name is far and wide, and my mother is always thinking about this.

Seeing that time was getting longer and longer, Hui Shu said goodbye to the minister, saying that she would go to meet the queen mother first, leaving Wu Lin to wait to receive their congratulations.

"Mother, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Bai Yi listened to her delicate voice talking, it was very natural, just out of intimacy with her mother, there was no discomfort caused by listening to other women spoil on weekdays.

Hui Shu touched Yan Le's shoulder lovingly, and said gently: "Isn't my mother here, let's go with me to meet your imperial grandmother." She seemed to think of something, and turned to Bai Yi and said: "Prince Bai Yi, I often hear the queen mother praise your chess skills, and I heard that I have a game of chess with you yesterday, why don't you go together?" ”

"Chess skills, it turns out that Bai Yi can also play chess, have you learned all the things that elegant people know?" Yan Le asked him curiously, and another topic cut in.

Bai Yi smiled extremely modestly, "Bai Yi's chess skills are mediocre, but he doesn't like to go out, so the game of chess with the Queen Mother was half a month ago, and he forgot it after a long time, and now he is also outside, so let's go with the two princesses." ”

"Bai Yi, being too modest is pride." This person is really clear in this palace, and a proton has actually entered the eyes of the queen mother, and it seems that there is no harm in dealing with people in the hearts of the royal family.

Bai Yi heard his humility understood pride for the first time, and he was inexplicably curious about Yan Le's thoughts, "The princess mentioned it. Humility has become a cloak that he can't get rid of in the palace for more than ten years.

"Commander Mu, are you in trouble, let my brother accompany you!" Yan Le raised his eyebrows and reminded him.

Hye-sook was inexplicably puzzled, her daughter wanted to stick to him before, but now she wanted to break him away. "Ling Xi, don't hinder Commander Mu's affairs, let your brother discuss with him on his own, let's go."

"Okay." Yan Le helped his mother to walk, winked at Wu Tingmo mischievously when he passed by, and said softly: "Tiedan, there are two fun places, and I will look for you when I come back." ”

Bai Yi heard it all, he couldn't hear her and Mu Lingyi just now, but according to her words and deeds, I was afraid that she was persuading these two people to give up the obstacles to her approaching her. Bai Yi became inexplicably proud, it seemed that there was still something desirable in him, which made the little princess interested.

The three of them slowly walked out of the temple gate, and at the corner, Yan Le's hand was quietly placed behind him and bowed to Mu Lingyi, Ling Yi, wait for me to come back and tell you my plan in detail.

The distance between the palaces is also quite far, and Hui Shu summoned the eunuchs to summon the foot and carry the three of them to the Queen Mother's Qianning Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw two little palace maids looking around, and after Yan Le saw that they were the next step, one of the little palace maids happily ran into the door, and the remaining one was surprised to meet them.

"I've seen Princess Huishu, Princess Lingxi, and Prince Bai Yi." Her round head is tied with a round hairpin, which makes her particularly cute, and she sways between words.

Hui Shu was extremely familiar with this palace maid, and smiled and asked her to excuse herself, "Xiaolu, the queen mother has been waiting for a long time, but what are you talking about?" ”

"Princess Huishu, come in quickly, the queen mother can't sleep early today, get up and wait." She led the way, her voice very brisk.

Bai Yi looked at Yan Le's soft smile on his face and stiffened a little, and when he entered her, he was a few steps behind her, and whispered behind her to comfort her: "The queen mother is a kind and gentle old man, and the princess doesn't need to be nervous." ”

Hui Shu heard Bai Yi's intimate words to her daughter, turned her head and looked at Bai Yi meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Prince Bai Yi is careful, pity, don't be afraid, you kid, and your brother hit it off at first sight, but you are separated from the elders, remember to call the imperial grandmother later, you can often come when you are a child." ”

Speaking of the fact that she often entered the palace when she was a child, Hui Shu suddenly thought: "Ling Xi and Prince Bai Yi should have known each other since childhood, and they will often walk around this Qianning Palace." ”

Kindness? Acquaintance since childhood, Yan Le frowned and thought, she only remembered the little memory of her father's assassination before, and the rest was gone, this Bai Yi was like a first acquaintance, where do you remember the past when you were a child.

She whispered helplessly: "Mother, Bai Yi, I'm sorry, I've forgotten all the old things." ”

"The princess doesn't need to apologize, I can't remember much when I was a child." Bai Yi didn't remember seeing such a delicate-looking little girl when he was a child, he was ten years old when he entered the palace, and he was just five years older than her, no wonder he always felt that she was very young.

"It's useless to know each other when I was a child, anyway, I was abducted when I was five years old, and it doesn't matter if I don't know it, I don't have to worry about sadness."

Yan Le said a little sadly, Bai Yi knew that she was guilty of worrying about others for more than ten years, she didn't need to do this, because it was never herself who controlled her fate, she was just a chess piece on the chessboard, all the resistance she did for herself, all the guilt she had for others, was in vain.
