When Bai Zhi heard this, she raised and lowered her hand to knock on the door.

For a moment, she felt that the person in the room was not a high-ranking prince, but just a coward hiding in his shell.

The light in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he gently put the food box in his hand at the door, and said in a calm tone: "Okay, I will put the snacks for you at the door. The first layer is yours, and the second layer is Xiao Yang's." of."

After finishing speaking, he took Lihua with him and slowly walked out of this distant residence.

After a long time, Meng Ying opened the door and gently took the food box into the room. The first layer was still an ordinary pastry with no style, and the second layer was a delicate black crow. This unlucky black bird looked very interesting when she created it like this.

However, this meticulousness does not belong to you after all.

In the days that followed, Bai Zhi no longer expected to see Meng Ying.

But the pastries are still delivered every day, in different ways. Xiao Yang was there most of the time, looking at the flashy new gadgets every day, the corner of his mouth never turned down.

At first I was afraid that it would be gone if I ate it, so I was reluctant to eat it. Later, I realized that fresh ones would be delivered every day, so I started eating them without any ceremony.

Every day, Bai Zhi would put down the pastries and have a few quarrels with Xiao Yang, but she never said another word about wanting to see the prince.

Xiao Yang was very satisfied with this situation. Lying on the roof waiting for her arrival was what he looked forward to every day when he opened his eyes.

Meng Ying, on the other hand, was in the room, pretending not to hear or not seeing, and deliberately avoiding seeing.

Bai Zhi was not idle at other times. It took her several days to visit the entire Prince Ning's Mansion and memorize the route.

Speaking of which, she just felt that it was a pity that Prince Ning's Mansion had only built a few courtyards in such a large area. The Luochanyuan where she lives is almost the most luxurious courtyard. In addition, there is the Qingfeng Hall, which is used for receiving guests.

Qingfeng Hall is opposite the gate of the prince's palace. It is spacious and magnificent, but it is covered with dust because of the prince's neglect. Around Qingfeng Hall, there are pre-planned garden scenery. Because the servants were lazy and neglected to take care of it, some were dry and some were messy. It's really a waste of such a good piece of land.

Thinking about the city where Bai Zhi used to live, every inch of land was at a premium. If she wanted to rent a single room with a balcony, it would cost several hundred thousand yuan, so Bai Zhi became interested in this yard.

She drew the floor plan of the entire palace, and then carefully divided it into partitions. On the partitions, she wrote clearly the purpose, the flowers to be planted, how to take care of it, how many manpower is needed for daily maintenance, etc.

Speaking of manpower, Bai Zhi also went to investigate. There were about fifty servants in the entire palace. There is nothing going on in the palace now, and most of these servants are doing nothing all day long. Maybe there were originally diligent people, but under this bad atmosphere, they began to become lazy.

So Bai Zhi gave another detailed list of how many people were needed for the daily affairs of the palace. Now who can use the palace and who cannot use it. Everything is written clearly on paper, down to the smallest details.

When I sent snacks every day, I would send them to the prince, hoping that he would see his value, but I never received any reply.

Fortunately, these days, the food has become better. Bai Zhi and Lihua eat together all day long, eating like crazy, and there are some signs of gaining weight.

One day, Butler Liu sent someone to deliver some silver.

Bai Zhi immediately grabbed Lihua and asked, "Is this my salary?"

Lihua often heard some words she had never heard from Bai Zhi, so she was not surprised and said with a slight smile: "Yes! It's a silver coin. It will be sent to you every month. According to the empress, now it is every month Fifty taels of silver, if the prince can participate in the affairs of the court, the emperor may also reward him, and when the time comes, it will be given to the empress, and there will be even more!"

Bai Zhi sneered at Lihua's words, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Why do I have to rely on the prince? Can't I make money to support myself, and then support that coward who is not a man?"

Of course, the coward who is not a man refers to Meng Ying. Since the last time he asked for permission, the prince has gained such a title. At first, Lihua felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest when she listened to it. Later, she listened to it more and nothing happened, so she just pretended not to hear it.

"Okay, okay! You can! But you only have fifty taels of silver, how are you going to support it? The palace's monthly expenses are as much as one hundred taels!" Lihua joked while tidying up her clothes.

Bai Zhike became excited when this topic was mentioned. She had long wanted to go shopping on the streets to see if she could find any business opportunities. But before, I didn't have a penny, couldn't move, and I didn't understand the affairs of the palace, which made me annoyed, so I put the matter on hold.

Now that she finally received the money, she had to go shopping on the streets. She hadn't seen what an ancient market looked like?

Pulling the pear blossom, she started jumping out.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Xiao Yang. He was holding a sword and standing there, like a needle that fixed the sea, with great air.

Bai Zhi asked doubtfully: "What are you doing here? Aren't you going to guard that coward?"

When Xiao Yang heard Bai Zhi call the prince a coward, his raised eyebrows couldn't help but twitch twice, "Are you talking like this? Are you looking for death?"

Bai Zhi put her hands on her hips, raised her head, and said to Xiao Yang with a proud look on her face: "Who is looking for death? I am looking for happiness now! I won't argue with you!"

After saying that, he walked past Xiao Yang arrogantly.

Before taking two steps, Xiao Yang grabbed his arm and dragged him back, "Where are you going?"

"Going out? Going shopping? Why are you pulling me?" Bai Zhi said with some disgust.

Xiao Yang suddenly chuckled twice, and with a little effort on his wrist, he pulled Bai Zhi back to him, "Come back!"

"Put this on." Xiao Yang took out a white curtain hat from nowhere and put it on Bai Zhi's head.

The long curtain hat immediately covered half of Bai Zhi's body. Others could only see Bai Zhi's figure through the curtain hat, but could not see her specific appearance.

Bai Zhi was puzzled, lifted up the tulle in front of her, and jumped to her feet: "Why do you need to bring this? Am I ashamed of others?"

Although Bai Zhi's height is not short, in front of Xiao Yang, she is a dwarf.

Looking down from Xiao Yang's perspective, it's Bai Zhi's swaying steps that make a clear tinkling sound, then her dark and deep eyes, and her pouty pink lips.

He didn't understand why even the sound of her swaying steps sounded so pleasant.

Xiao Yang stayed for several seconds before he realized his gaffe. He hurriedly looked away, cleared his throat, and said in a fierce tone: "That's right! Aren't you just shy of seeing people now? Now the streets and alleys are full of people. Talking about Princess Ning's refusal to marry with death, do you want to be a joke? Put it on me!"

Only then did Bai Zhi realize that she was on the ancient version of the hot search, wasn't she?

It's true to say that Prince Xiangning is a prince after all, with a distinguished status. No matter big or small, it is a pastime for the common people after dinner. If the prince has a good reputation, then if he goes out in public like this, doesn't this provide others with a backbone that can be poked? If you have a bad reputation, you have to cover your face, otherwise you might be thrown eggs, vegetables, or even assassinated!

Xiao Yang saw Bai Zhi frozen in place, not knowing what he was thinking, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Bai Zhi, "What are you thinking about? Let's go!"

Bai Zhi grabbed Xiao Yang's hand, frowned, and said pitifully: "Guard Xiao, Brother Xiao, does the prince have a good reputation?"

"What's good?" Xiao Yang asked confused.

"If he has too many enemies, will I be assassinated if I go out?" Bai Zhi asked nervously.

Bai Zhi just held Xiao Yang's hand and stared directly at Xiao Yang. Her eyes were wet, crystal clear and deep, as if they could drip water.

Xiao Yang's throat tightened and his heart beat inexplicably. He swallowed hard and his Adam's apple rolled down. After a long while, he answered: "I'm here, don't be afraid."
