Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

On the afternoon of the second day, Xiao Lin came to the Fengyu Tower according to the agreed time.

He didn't dress up specially for the family banquet, he was still wearing his favorite black robe, and he didn't wear any decorations on his hair bun. He only had a piece of suet jade around his waist as a decorative object.

The black robe and white jade made him even more handsome and neat, without any muddy, sticky and cumbersome feeling.

"How's the preparation going?" he asked.

Bai Chen put down the book and said, "Everything is ready, we can leave at any time."

Xiao Lin nodded slightly.

Bai Chen instructed Bing'er, walked to Xiao Lin's side, and naturally put his hand on the back of the wheelchair.

"Yuyan, you should go back too." Xiao Lin said.

"Yes, master." Yu Yan bit her lip and backed away silently.

Xiao Lin turned his head and said, "Then let's go."

"it is good."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Bai Chen always feels that Xiao Lin seems to be much lighter now—even though he still has an expressionless and indifferent face.

In the past, Xiao Lin's face was always covered with a layer of frost, and his eyes were always repelling people thousands of miles away. That kind of defense and repulsion could almost turn into substance.

But now, this layer of frost is slowly melting unknowingly.

Probably this is also related to his suffering from knee swelling and pain before. Anyone who suffers from huge pain every day will not feel good. Now that the pain is relieved, his body is relaxed, and the haze on his face has disappeared.

The high-spirited man from before might come back soon—even if Bai Chen has never seen Xiao Lin before, he can completely imagine it.

……

In the past few months since Bai Chen entered the palace, the few family dinners were held in the small bamboo building of the princess.

The main reason is that the princess is in poor health. She is weak and can't walk around freely. She is cold and can't go out to have a breeze. Naturally, everyone will follow her. As the princess's health improves, today's dinner will be changed to the formal dining room of the palace.

Bai Chen once heard Xiao Mo say that there are few people in the mansion, but the formal dining room is very large, and a few people sitting in it are rather deserted, which makes everyone feel unhappy, so before the princess was not sick, they were very happy. Eat there less often.

In fact, even if he and Liu Rufeng are added to the palace now, there are only seven people, not even enough to fill a table for eight people.

The population of King Kang's Mansion is indeed not very prosperous. Which of the princes and nobles in ancient times didn't have wives and concubines with groups of children around their knees?Like his cheap father, Bai Zhanyuan, who took in two concubines, he claimed to be dedicated and restrained, and often lamented that he had too few children, which was a pity.

It is true that there are few children. Bai Zhanyuan has one wife and two concubines, but in the end there are only five children. This is because of Lord Hou's poor health.But he is considered dedicated, so maybe Kang Wang can be called a chaste and strong man?

It's strange to say that Prince Kang's young daughter is because he is loyal to the princess, but there are three thousand beauties in the harem of the Holy Lord, and there are many court ladies whom he favored, but the number of heirs is pitifully small.

Except for the prince, the eldest son, there are only the fifth prince and the seventh prince who is just 12 years old.

The rest of the princes all died before the age of ten, and several princesses also died. It is said that there are only three princesses who have not left the court and are raised in the palace.

If it wasn't for the conspiracy of the harem, then there was something wrong with Emperor Dehui's genes.

If Emperor Dehui's genes are faulty, then the entire family of the old Xiao family may have genetic defects.

Bai Chen couldn't help but silently glanced at Xiao Lin, this Bingshan seemed to be really not interested in women, so he shouldn't have to care about this issue in his life.

"What, is there something on my head?"

Xiao Lin suddenly made a sound.

"..." Does this person have eyes on the back of his neck? Bai Chen coughed, "It's okay, I'm a little distracted."

"It's almost there." Xiao Lin reminded him.

"it is good."

……

The dining room of the palace is indeed...a bit big.

Bai Chen secretly estimated that setting up ten tables or eight tables in it was completely trivial, and it would be a waste to use it as a dining room, and it would be no problem at all as a side room for meeting guests.

In such a spacious hall, there is only a large round table in the middle - even if there are furniture, vases and other decorations around it, it seems very uncoordinated.

No wonder everyone didn't want to come here to eat, and he didn't like it either. The feeling of emptiness was too weird, and there was no feeling of having a harmonious and happy meal.

Xiao Mo arrived first, sitting at the table bored.

Some exquisite appetizers and snacks have been placed on the table, seven sets of bone china dishes are neatly arranged, and the fine wine in the jade pot is also ready.

"Second brother and second sister-in-law, you are finally here!" She smiled and stood up to say hello.

According to the rules, the younger generation must wait for the elders to show respect, and the children must arrive at the dining room before the prince and princess, and among the same generation, the youngest must arrive first.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Bai Chen settled Xiao Lin down and sat next to Xiao Mo.

——Xiao Lin on the left and Xiao Mo on the right, avoiding the embarrassing situation of sitting next to other people.

"I've just been here for a while." Xiao Mo pouted, "it's very boring to sit here alone."

Bai Chen smiled, "It will be lively in a while."

While talking, Xiao Chuan and Liu Rufeng also arrived.

The two of them still had the affectionate look of a caring lover, as if even the air was sweetened with bubbles when they came in.

After saluting and greeting each other, Xiao Chuan and the two also sat down.

Every time Liu Rufeng saw Xiao Lin since the fan incident, he felt a little unnatural, so naturally he didn't want to talk much on this occasion.Xiao Lin and Bai Chen didn't talk much at all, except for Xiao Chuan and Xiao Mo chatting with each other, the rest of the time was very quiet.

Although the Asura Field has been disintegrated, there is still a trace of embarrassment that seems to be absent but is well known in the air.

Fortunately, Xiao Mo's pistachio is here, otherwise I'm afraid the scene would be even more unwatchable.

The embarrassing situation didn't last long, and King Kang and his concubine finally arrived.

The concubine specially dressed up today, with light makeup and swaying costumes, her radiant posture can make the bright moon pale.

——Even the beautiful Liu Rufeng was not as dazzling in front of the princess as before.

The concubine is not only beautiful, but also has a gentle and tolerant personality. Bai Chen was thinking, if he were a straight man, he would treat this kind of girl as a goddess.

It's not hard to understand why Kang Wang loves her so much.

The juniors got up to greet them and greeted them. After King Kang and the princess sat down, the juniors sat down again.

"It hasn't been so lively in the palace for a long time." Kang Wang looked in a good mood today, his face was full of red, "Recently two happy events, two newcomers came in, but we haven't had a good meal and chat. Today, everyone is free to order, There is no need to be too formal.”

"Our palace is full of happy events recently." Xiao Chuan is used to observing words and expressions, and immediately saw the clues from Kang Wang's face, "Is it possible that father still has happy events to tell us?"

Kang Wang smiled heartily, and looked at the princess with gentle eyes, "Chuan'er saw it."

The princess blushed slightly and said, "What kind of happy event is this?"

"It doesn't count." Kang Wang picked up a chopsticks dish for her, "This is a very happy event for me."

Xiao Mo's curiosity was also aroused, "Father and mother, stop playing charades and tell us!"

"Could it be that mother agreed to move back?" Xiao Lin asked.

"Smart," Kang Wang laughed triumphantly again, "Your mother finally agreed to move back to Meiyuan."

"That is indeed a happy event." Xiao Chuan touched Liu Rufeng, and the latter immediately understood. The two quickly got up, held up the wine glass with both hands, and respectfully said: "Chuan'er wishes mother good health, and father and mother sing in harmony."

"Rufeng wishes my father and mother good health and smiles often."

"Okay!" Kang Wang raised his glass and touched them, "Lan Xin can't drink alcohol, so I will drink this glass for her."

After speaking, the three of them drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

The elder brother has set an example, Xiao Lin and Bai Chen naturally also want to congratulate.

Xiao Mo is still not allowed to drink, and can only express her feelings with tea instead of wine.

After sitting down, Bai Chen murmured in his heart, wouldn't it be natural for the concubine to move back after recovering from her illness? Why was King Kang so happy as if it was Chinese New Year?Thinking about it is right, the goddess used to only see you once a day, but now she appears in front of you all the time, are you happy?Naturally happy.

Although Kang Wang and his wife have been married for more than [-] years, they get along like young people. Seeing Kang Wang's happy appearance, it is hard to restrain the love of being a newlywed.

After rounds of toasting and toasting, the atmosphere at the dinner table became much more active, and gradually there was a sense of ordinary family reunion.

But Bai Chen always felt that it was not that simple, not because of his conspiracy theory, but because the atmosphere seemed too joyful, which did not match Kang Wang's serious and serious temperament and the ordinary atmosphere of the palace.

He found that Xiao Lin could see it too.

Xiao Lin looked suspiciously at King Kang several times.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for King Kang to speak unintentionally, "By the way, today at court, the emperor said that the fifth prince fell in love with Miss Liu at first sight and wanted to marry her. Rufeng, you don't know about this, do you?"

Liu Rufeng showed a surprised expression, "I don't know, I didn't expect my little sister to be so lucky to marry the Fifth Prince."

"Miss Liu is amazingly talented, and she is very suitable for the fifth prince." Kang Wang said with a smile, "I also congratulated your father when the morning court is over. The marriage is scheduled for the beginning of next year, and it will be soon."

"Thank you father for the compliment." It could be seen that Liu Rufeng was genuinely happy, the corners of his eyes and brows were beaming with joy.

I don't know?I'm afraid I have already figured it out.

Bai Chen listened silently, it was none of his business anyway.

"One more thing." Kang Wang's expression suddenly became serious, "The border is tight recently, and the army in the capital also needs to be drilled in case of emergencies. I will be very busy recently. Liangzhou is the best barrier for our Daxin Dynasty to resist foreign enemies. , or the place where I spilled my blood, I always keep it in my heart. Liao Yu's lieutenant was injured recently, and he is currently short of a lieutenant, would Chuan'er want to go?"

These words were like a thunderbolt on the dining table, except Kang Wang who was asking the question and Bai Chen who was watching the play, everyone was shocked.

The one who was most shocked was Xiao Chuan, the warm smile on his face suddenly froze, and he looked at King Kang with some helplessness.

All the people here are good people, and everyone can guess that Kang Wang is planning to test Xiao Chuan.

Kang Wang spent half his life as a soldier, and his successor must be like him who can lead thousands of troops, gallop on the battlefield, and kill the enemy.

But as far as Bai Chen knew, Xiao Chuan rarely even went to the military training ground, let alone lead troops to fight.

Now it's interesting, how will Xiao Chuan respond?
