Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

After finalizing the work, Bai Chen's plan for himself can be said to have completed a very important step.

With a job, you can be self-reliant.

He is looking forward to the future.

The list of recruitments by various departments is uniformly submitted to the emperor by the Ministry of Officials for review, and the newcomers can report to work in their own departments only after the emperor approves.This procedure is quite streamlined compared to the imperial examination, but it also takes about ten days.

For the past ten days, Bai Chen will not be idle, exercising, reading and studying, giving Xiao Lin a massage, accompanying him to recover, and occasionally fighting villains-it cannot be more fulfilling.

Xiao Lin stayed in the palace recently and didn't go anywhere. After the concubine moved back to King Kang's courtyard, he would never miss a day in the morning and evening.

The number of times he hangs in front of King Kang is many, and people with ulterior motives have many scruples if they want to play tricks.

Seeing that his legs are getting better day by day, King Kang is naturally happy. At this time, Xiao Lin will say a few words for Bai Chen, and the impression of the princess and King Kang on Bai Chen is naturally getting better and better.

——Plus, Bai Chen himself is very polite and smart, no one doesn't like such a junior.

After the exam, Bai Chen spent a whole day carving a pair of loving, white-headed, blessed and long-lived bamboo carvings for the concubine and prince to express his gratitude. He followed Xiao Lin to say hello every day, and he was never impatient.

In the early morning of this day, after Bai Chen finished exercising, he and Xiao Lin went to greet the princess and prince.

"Rin'er, how are your legs and feet recovering?" Kang Wang was much more relaxed today as he didn't have to go to court today, and after the juniors greeted him, he began to care about Xiao Lin's recovery.

Xiao Lin said: "If you go back to your father, you can walk a few steps without crutches."

Kang Wang showed joy: "Really?"

Bai Chen gave King Kang a reassurance: "I walked a few steps during practice yesterday. The young master is very persevering, and he will definitely recover in the future."

Kang Wang's eyes were a little moist, "It's been a long time since I saw Lin'er riding a horse and raising his whip, I miss him very much."

"I'll see you later." The princess patted Kang Wang's hand, "I'm a woman and I haven't cried yet, why are you crying?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiao Lin again, and said softly: "If possible, take a few steps to show your father, and make him happy."

"Yes, mother."

Xiao Lin stood up, handed the crutch to Bai Chen, and tried to move forward.

His steps are not big, every step forward he falters like a child's toddler, but he is extremely firm, he has been walking for five or six steps before he can't support him and leans to one side, Bai Chen hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and let him sit Down.

This scene made the princess burst into tears.

"You're still talking about me." Kang Wang took out a handkerchief to wipe the princess' tears, "I cried more than anyone else."

"It's not easy for Lin'er." The princess controlled her emotions, "I just feel sorry for him, because he suffered so much at such a young age."

"Mother, I'm fine." Xiao Lin comforted, "As long as I can recover, all hardships are nothing."

The princess nodded, quite relieved.

The few people chatted for a few more words, and the princess suddenly clapped her hands, "By the way, my lord, where are the pair of jade pendants I took out last night? I don't have a good memory, and I forgot where I put them."

Kang Wang smiled and said, "I put it away for you, so I knew you would forget it."

After finishing speaking, he went into the bedroom and took out a red brocade box.

"This is prepared by your mother for you." King Kang said, "It contains a pair of mandarin ducks and jade pendants."

The princess opened the box, and took the pair of lustrous and pure white jade pendants, "Recently, there have been many happy events in the palace. Lin'er's leg injury has recovered, and Chen'er's exam has passed smoothly. Thinking of the time when you two brothers got married, I don't know what to say." No, I found two pairs of jade pendants from the dowry, one pair of Pisces was given to your brother and sister-in-law, and this pair of mandarin ducks is for you, I hope you will love each other and grow old together.”

Bai Chen: ...

Xiao Lin: ...

Both of them were a little silent, and a little...embarrassed.

They knew each other well that this was just a "time-limited marriage", but they didn't know how to express their parents' sincere blessings and expectations.

"What's the matter? Don't you like the style of this pair of jade pendants?" Seeing the different expressions of the two juniors, the princess couldn't help worrying, "If you don't like it, I'll find another pair that looks better."

Xiao Lin said softly, "I like it. I like everything my mother gave me."

Bai Chen also said: "The jade pendant is very beautiful."

"The last time I gave you a jade bracelet, Chen'er, you refused to take it even if you died, saying that you are a man and don't wear jewelry." The princess pretended to be angry, "every man wears jade pendants, so you can't shirk this time, otherwise mother I'm going to be annoyed."

Bai Chen was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Okay."

The princess is kind and gentle, facing such an elder, he can't say the word "no".

The pair of mandarin ducks are carved lifelike, and together they look like they are expressing love and entwining each other.

The princess put the pair of mandarin ducks into their hands respectively.

"Thank you mother."

After Bai Chen accepted it, he put it in his sleeve.

Xiao Lin looked at the jade pendant and put it away too.

"It takes ten years to cross the same boat, and a hundred years to sleep together." The princess smiled lightly, "Maybe your marriage was a bit hasty, but there are still decades to come. Mutual respect, love, and support are more important than anything else." important."

How can the concubine who has been here not see that the two of them have no relationship as husband and wife?It's just that in her view, even if there is no love, after being together for a long time, even if there is only family affection, there is nothing else that can replace it.

Everyone has their own ideas, the princess is an elder, and Bai Chen has no intention of changing her mind, so he just smiled and said: "Chen'er knows."

……

On the way back to Fengyu Building, Xiao Lin and Bai Chen were a little silent, the air was very quiet, only the muffled sound of crutches being pressed against the ground.

"Don't take your mother's words to heart." Xiao Lin said suddenly, "This is just her old man's wish."

"Hmm..." Bai Chen was a little grateful for Xiao Lin's understanding, "Thank you."

"Don't say thank you." Xiao Lin said, "You let my legs recover like this, I already owe you a huge favor."

"With your help, I successfully passed the exam and was admitted to Dali Temple." Bai Chen said with a smile, "You don't owe me favors, and neither of us owes anyone."

"I don't owe anyone..." Xiao Lin looked into the distance and murmured, "That's right, all the past will be wiped away."

Bai Chen smiled and said: "That's right, all the previous grievances and grievances are cleared. From now on, we are no longer a cooperative relationship, but real friends."

Xiao Lin was startled, and said, "Okay."

After the embarrassment was relieved, the air was no longer so frozen, and the two began to chat casually again. When they walked to the forest outside the Fengyu Building, they happened to see Xiao Chuan and He Wenguang walking from a distance, but they didn't see Liu Rufeng.

Bai Chen remembered that he had gone back to his natal home to help his sister prepare for the wedding.

"Little brother, younger brother and sister." Xiao Chuan still looked gentle and graceful, "Wen Guang and I are going to pay our respects to our parents."

"I came here to visit my uncle and aunt by my father's order." He Wenguang said.

"Brother." Xiao Lin greeted him politely, but ignored He Wenguang, "We just came out of Father's courtyard."

He Wenguang is naturally unwilling to be lonely. He can force himself to add drama when others ignore him.

"I heard that my siblings were admitted to Dali Temple?" He Wenguang smiled and cupped his hands, "Congratulations."

Bai Chen chuckled, and said perfunctorily, "I heard that Mr. He went to the Ministry of Rites, and we are all happy together. I won't bother you to pay your respects. We'll go first."

When ordinary people hear this, they also know that they are not welcome, and will consciously end the conversation, but He Wenguang's face is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"Where's Mr. Jiang who is with you?" He Wenguang was speaking halfway, and deliberately peeked at Xiao Lin, for fear that Xiao Lin would not understand what he said.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lin didn't speak, but Xiao Chuan spoke instead, "Which Mr. Jiang?"

He Wenguang said: "The youngest son of Jiang Shangshu in the household department, a talented man in the capital."

"Oh, him." Xiao Chuan said, "Isn't he talented, and he is also going to participate in the internal recruitment examination?"

"Yeah, that day I saw him chatting happily with his younger siblings and having dinner together. I thought they knew each other before." Someone cooperated, and He Wenguang became even more enthusiastic. "Mr. Jiang is not only knowledgeable, but also a good-looking person."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiao Lin, expecting his expression of being so angry that he would die violently.

As a result, Xiao Lin had a face of "I'm going to turn a blind eye to the one who should cooperate with your performance", he didn't even look at He Wenguang, and just said: "Brother, stop chatting, go and pay your respects."

Bai Chen laughed to himself, He Wenguang really overestimated his abilities if he wanted to play with Xiao Lin.

What's more, the two of them didn't have this kind of relationship at all, so it's impossible for Xiao Lin to be jealous, he's sick.

"Yes, we have to hurry." Xiao Chuan was taken aback, and pulled He Wenguang over, "Let's go."

He Wenguang: ...

"The two of you are leaving." After Xiao Lin finished speaking, leaning on crutches with one hand and supporting Bai Chen's shoulder with the other, the two left talking and laughing.

He Wenguang looked at their backs, his teeth itching with hatred.

But Xiao Chuan didn't know his thoughts about Bai Chen, he couldn't show it clearly, and he got angry just thinking about it.

He could only secretly scold Xiao Lin in his heart for not even being angry about this, he is really not a man.

……

Bai Chen is actually more funny than angry. He Wenguang is like a clown. Talking about such boring things with him feels that his grade has been lowered.

But if he wants to do something big, he really can't spare him.

"He Wenguang is just a fly." Xiao Lin said, "Buzzing all day long, just slap it to death next time."

Bai Chen chuckled, "Okay, listen to you."

"By the way," Bai Chen said sternly again, "The other party hasn't moved in the past few days, right?"

Xiao Lin said: "A few days ago, Feiyun caught a woman who wanted to poison my food."

"He is so courageous, it seems that he is really in a hurry." Bai Chen said, "You have to pay attention to safety, and if you say something that shouldn't be said, even Yuyan, you have to have some reservations."

"I know." Xiao Lin said, "I fell once, it's long enough to remember."

"It's still early, go to your side, I'll check your legs again." Xiao Lin was smart enough, Bai Chen felt that he really didn't need to worry too much.

……

"That Mr. Jiang, is he really so good-looking?" After walking for a while, Xiao Lin suddenly asked seriously.

Bai Chen: ...

What is this reflex arc?

He recalled, "It's okay, gentle."

"Compared to me?"

"That still looks good on you." Bai Chen said honestly, he has always been a very objective person.

The corners of Xiao Lin's mouth curled up slightly, as if he was very satisfied with the answer.

Bai Chen:? ?

Since when did this person gain the smug attribute again?
