Bai Zhi hugged the child from Zhao Lan’s arms, it was a big soft lump, it was so comfortable to hold, and the strong milky fragrance smelled very comfortable.
“Whether it is a lie to me or not, I will not leave the Prince Jin Mansion. If it is Xian’er, Master Ke will naturally bring Xian’er here, and then he will be able to tell the difference.”
Zhao Lan nodded: “It’s better to be careful, Zhi’er, why don’t you enter the palace? The palace is always safer than here, and the emperor will not sneak out of the palace to see you all the time. Once or twice is nothing, but at this time, it happens all the time. What if bad happens to you?”
Bai Zhi shook her head stubbornly: “No.” She didn’t want to enter the palace. She doesn’t want to see those yin and yang eyes of women dressed in red and green jumping in front of him, acting jealous, vying for his favor, asking to be pampered as if it were all natural… …
Every time she thought of these things, she wished she could leave.
After a while, the housekeeper hurried over again.
“Miss Bai, Princess Yiping is here and wants to see you.”
Princess Yiping? Bai Zhi didn’t think of this person for a while, and raised her eyes to look at the housekeeper: “Which princess is she?”
The housekeeper hurriedly said: “Princess Yiping is the daughter of Prince Nanjiang, and now she is married into the Meng Family. She is the wife of Young Master Meng who came to the palace last time.”
Meng Nan’s wife? The bride who clamored to see her and check her condition when they got married three years ago?
She has always had a bad impression of Princess Yiping, and she never thought of having any interaction with her. Why did this Princess Yiping come to Prince Jin Mansion today? Could it be because of Meng Nan’s matter?
Bai Zhi frowned, Meng Nan’s thoughts were clear to her, she never thought that after three years, Meng Nan would still look at her like that.
Zhao Lan has lived in the capital for the past three years and has heard some rumors about the Meng family. Knowing that Princess Yiping was not a friendly person, she said to Bai Zhi: “Don’t see her, you don’t have any friendship with her, just tell her you’re sick and inconvenient to see her.”
Bai Zhi shook her head, “It’s better to see her. Some things will remain entangled if we don’t talk about them. I’ll see you here first and see what she wants to say.” After all, she was Meng Nan’s wife. She wanted to give her face, but what can she do? It was up to her to keep this face.
The housekeeper returned to the outside of the palace, and said to the maid waiting outside: “Miss Bai is here.”
The maid nodded, turned back to the carriage, and Princess Yiping who entered the carriage said: “Princess, you can go in.”
Princess Yiping thanked her impatiently. Except for entering the palace, she has never waited outside the gate of anyone’s house. This Bai Zhi has a really big face.
She had carefully dressed up before going out today, wearing an eye-catching peach pink satin shirt, underneath a white embroidered horse-face skirt, with delicate colorful flower and bird patterns embroidered on the bottom of the skirt.
On the top of the head were a bun and a complete set of headwear with a pair of leaf-shaped golden hairpins and two butterfly hairpins inserted on both sides, a golden peony heart on the top, and golden lilacs on the ears.
She looked delicate and gorgeous, she doesn’t want to lose her color in front of her rival.
After Princess Yiping got off the carriage, she asked the maid to help her straighten her clothes and straighten her hair which was distorted by the carriage.
“How do I look?” Princess Yiping raised her eyebrows and looked at the maid.
The maid hurriedly laughed and said: “The princess is naturally beautiful, and with today’s dress, she is glamorous, no one can take their eyes away when they see it.”
Although Princess Yiping didn’t like the word glamorous, seeing the maid’s appearance, she was happy, so she didn’t blame her, and said with a faint smile: “From now on, when you describe me, you have to describe me as beautiful, remember?”
