Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

After this day's tossing, Bai Chen, who was physically and mentally exhausted, fell asleep on the carriage back to the palace.

In the dream, he was still the agile and resolute field team member, and beside him was the person with a warm smile on his face.

They go to the border to perform missions and need to lurk in the tropical jungle and wait for the target to appear.

The squad has been squatting in the grass for a day and a night, and the target has not yet appeared, and the water he carried has been drunk.

At this time, the man took out the remaining half bottle of water from his body and handed it to him.

Seeing that person's smile, Bai Chen felt a little apprehensive, but he couldn't help reaching out to grab it.

Before the hand touched the bottle, the bottle of water was smashed away.

He couldn't help but look up.

Xiao Lin, who was wearing a black gold robe, stood tall and looked down at him, "Are you stupid, this water is poisonous."

His heart trembled, and he woke up suddenly.

The carriage was bumping forward slightly in the night, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Xiao Lin beside him.

It happened that Xiao Lin also looked over, with doubts in his eyes.

Bai Chen smiled and looked away.

...Thinking of Xiao Lin in the dream saying "Are you stupid" with a cold face, it is really poisonous.

Seeing Xiao Chuan's face that was exactly the same as that person, Bai Chen was heartbroken.

Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life?

……

Three days later, King Kang returned to the mansion after going to court, and when he was having dinner with the princess, he told Bai Chen that he had registered for him in the Ministry of Officials.

"Thank you, my lord." Bai Chen was overjoyed and said hastily, "I will try my best to get a good grade in the exam."

Kang Wang nodded, "Lin'er supports you so much, and you are indeed very smart, so I naturally agree with you to take the exam."

"By the way, at the court today, Lord Luo of Dali Temple said that the case of the daughter-in-law forcing her mother-in-law to death has been revealed." Kang Wang looked at Bai Chen with a smile on his face. Mrs. Wang and the widow of that week did have an affair. On the morning before the incident, Mrs. Qian, the daughter-in-law, made breakfast and took it to her mother-in-law's room. She called twice at the door, but no one answered her. I walked in without the lock. Then I saw Mrs. Wang sleeping on the same bed with the widow of that week, with her arms exposed from the quilt and no clothes on."

Bai Chen said: "Sure enough."

Kang Wang continued: "At this time, Mrs. Wang woke up. Mrs. Qian hurriedly put the food on the table at the door and retreated. She wanted to pretend that she didn't know anything and continued to get along with her mother-in-law, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to avoid her on purpose. She doesn't eat lunch or dinner. The next morning, when she went to deliver breakfast as usual, she saw her mother-in-law hanged herself from a beam in the house."

"My lord, I have a question." Bai Chen asked.

"What question?"

"Before, Mrs. Qian refused to speak up even when she died. The circumstances of this case can only be regarded as our inferences, and there is no solid evidence. How did Mrs. Qian speak up to tell the truth again?"

Kang Wang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Lord Luo is quite experienced in solving cases and interrogating. As long as he has an idea, it is not difficult for him to ask for a confession."

That's right, how can you get this position without a lot of brushes? Although you only met Luo Lanye once, you can still see that he is rigorous, evidence-based, and experienced in handling cases.

"Master Luo is really young and promising, which is admirable." Bai Chen sighed sincerely.

"Yes." King Kang said, "Lord Luo came from a poor family but worked hard to make progress. In the end, the carp leaped to the dragon's gate for the title of gold list. Also because he was so devoted to his official duties that he had not yet married in his thirties, the emperor wanted to do it for him several times. Even when he suggested marriage, he politely declined."

This is probably the ancient unmarried people.

In fact, Bai Chen can understand him quite well. If you don't meet a soul-mate partner, it's better to be alone and at ease.

"Chen'er, you pay so much attention to Lord Luo..." Kang Wang suddenly said with burning eyes.

Bai Chen was taken aback for a moment, a little confused.

Even Xiao Lin looked at King Kang, not understanding what his father meant.

"Do you want to work in Dali Temple after passing the internal recruitment?"

... Don't breathe too much when you speak, my lord, it's easy to make people think wrong.

"If I have this opportunity, I would naturally wish for it." Bai Chen was very calm, "I will definitely learn a lot from Master Luo. But if I don't have this opportunity, I won't feel much regret."

Kang Wang nodded, "It's not bad that you have this awareness."

"I've been talking about business for so long, let's eat quickly." Seeing that several people had put down their chopsticks after discussing, the princess gently reminded.

"Okay, you should eat more too, seeing how thin you are." King Kang softened his tone by 80.00% when talking to the princess. He poured a bowl of chicken soup for the princess and asked casually, "How are the preparations for Chuan'er's wedding going? In five days, Mr. Liu will be getting started, right? I've been too busy recently to take care of these things."

The princess said: "When Chuan'er came to pay her respects this morning, she said that the preparations were almost done. This child doesn't let us worry about it, he will do it by himself."

"He is also in his 20s, and it's time to take responsibility." Kang Wang said again, "It's a good thing that the Palace will be more lively when new people come in."

"This time I finally saw the legendary Mr. Liu in my grandmother's palace." Xiao Mo, who had been silent all this time, said, "It's really more beautiful than a woman, but it always feels a little distant, shrouded in clouds and mist."

"You child, you are talking nonsense." The princess shook her head and said, "He will be your sister-in-law from now on, so there is no sense of distance."

"Anyway... I can't tell. I don't think she's as kind and lovely as the second sister-in-law." Xiao Mo giggled.

Bai Chen: ...

Even after a good meal, he was shot.

"Don't be rude to your second sister-in-law." Kang Wang sternly said, "Women's family is full of nonsense. How decent is it to be crazy? Let's see who dares to want you in the future. Let's eat."

Xiao Mo was listless: "Yes, father."

……

In five days, his sweetheart was going to marry his brother, Bai Chen looked at the expressionless Xiao Lin, and wanted to give him some wax.

After everyone had dinner and left the small courtyard of the princess, a rosy glow had just appeared in the sky.

Seeing that it was still early, Xiao Mo wanted to follow Bai Chen to learn how to carve, so she yelled at Xiao Lin: "Second Brother, can you lend me Second Sister-in-law for a while?"

Xiao Lin: ...

Bai Chen smiled and said, "Go and sit in the courtyard."

He quite liked this clever and lively little girl, anyway, he had nothing to do, so he just played with her for a while.

Walking to the gate of Songzhu Garden, Xiao Lin thought about it and reminded Xiao Mo, "It's not too late, remember to go back early to rest."

"I know, second brother." Xiao Mo waved his hand, "Go in and rest."

She took a look at Yuyan who had been waiting at the door for a long time, and happily walked forward with Bai Chen.

Seeing their backs disappear, Xiao Lin ordered Yuyan, "Let's go."

……

It is said that she is learning bamboo carving, but in fact Xiao Mo wants to chat with Bai Chen casually to relieve boredom.

She is the only girl in the palace and has no playmates. The two elder brothers are busy and the other is cold. The father is serious. Although the mother is gentle and kind, she cannot be disturbed at any time because she needs to rest and rest. She is always alone, which is quite boring.

Bai Chen was gentle and courteous to others, taught her to sculpt with patience and meticulousness, Xiao Mo couldn't help feeling close to her.

"Second sister-in-law, do you think I can carve well?" Xiao Mo showed Bai Chen the bamboo carvings he carved after returning home last time.

Bai Chen took a look, the lines were neat and the details were perfected a lot.

"Little Mo, you are very smart and have a high level of comprehension." Bai Chen praised, "I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you soon."

"Why?"

"Because you will surpass me in a short time, the master's things are all learned by the apprentice, and the master will lose his job."

Xiao Mo chuckled, "Then I'll learn slowly."

"It doesn't matter." Bai Chen smiled, "If you like, I still have some messy gadgets here that I can teach you to play."

"What else? I want to learn!" Xiao Mo's eyes lit up, and she pursed her lips to complain, "Reading books and practicing calligraphy every day is quite boring after a long time."

"You have poetry and books in your belly, and these will become your wealth." Bai Chen thought of the question the queen mother asked her before, and He Wenjun's thoughts, and he also had a heart of gossip. He put down the carving knife, "Xiao Mo , can I ask you a question?"

"Ask." Xiao Mo sat upright with a cute look on her face.

"On the Empress Dowager's birthday, all the nobles gathered together, you really don't like it?"

"Second sister-in-law, why do you laugh at me!" Xiao Mo pretended to be angry.

"I'm just talking to you." Bai Chen smiled gently, "If you don't want to talk, then don't talk, let's talk about other things."

Xiao Mo was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Those are not what I want."

"How to say?" Bai Chen raised his head.

"Those aristocrats look well-dressed, but in fact, most of them have three wives and four concubines. The person I want to marry can only grow old with me alone." Xiao Mo's usual heartless expression disappeared, and she sighed He said in a tone, "Unfortunately, such a person does not exist, right? I will eventually marry a man I don't like and share him with several women or men, right?"

Bai Chen was silent.

This little girl's heart is like a mirror. In this historical environment, this is indeed the most real situation for most women.

I don't know if He Wenjun can guarantee that there will be only Xiao Mo in his life?

"Don't be discouraged, there will be someone who will think of what you want and give you what you ask for." Bai Chen comforted.

"Well, so I'm not in a hurry." After Xiao Mo finished speaking, her face returned to her usual mischievous expression, "It's a pity~~~"

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that you are already married to my brother. I can't win over my brother." Xiao Mo pretended to be sorry.

Bai Chen knew she was joking, "You just like to talk nonsense."

"If...my second brother treats you badly, I'll scold him for you." Xiao Mo suddenly said seriously, "You are my second sister-in-law, and I will definitely stand by your side."

Bai Chen: ...

This girl, as expected, usually pretends to be stupid, but actually understands everything.

But she seems to have misunderstood his relationship with Xiao Lin, but he still can't explain it.

"Second sister-in-law, is there anything else you can teach me?" Xiao Mo was clever, seeing that Bai Chen didn't really want to respond to this matter, she quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, you come with me."

……

Xiao Lin, who was reading in the study, sneezed.

He rubbed his nose, a little inexplicably.

"Ah-"

He suddenly sneezed again.

Is someone scolding him?

Xiao Hua was very restless tonight, walking back and forth in the cage, trying to break the door with her claws, as if she had figured it out.

"Stay quietly." Xiao Lin said, "Your heart is too wild these days."

Xiaohua protested angrily: "Cuckoo, chirp, chirp!"

Xiao Lin raised her eyebrows, ignored him, and continued reading.

Before reading two pages, a crisp and melodious music came in.

I can't tell what musical instrument it is made of, and it has a sense of freshness and wildness.

He listened carefully.

Xiaohua suddenly yelled, "Mom~!"

His throat split because he was so excited.

Xiao Lin shook his hand, and the book fell to the ground.
