Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

Zhao Hanyan glanced at Duan Silian over there, hooked his fingers to signal Bai Yutang and her to have a whisper under the wall.

Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, but obediently followed.

"Why did you come out of the princess's mansion?" Zhao Hanyan looked at Bai Yutang with unfriendly eyes, and also looked specifically to see if there was anything hidden in his sleeves, waist and chest.There are many treasures in the storeroom of the princess's mansion, which are the only ones given to her by the queen mother and the emperor, and Zhao Hanyan likes them all, so she must protect her treasures.

Bai Yutang stood very close to Zhao Hanyan, and if he moved his chin an inch further, he could hit Zhao Hanyan's forehead.The faint tea scent on the other party was very pleasant. Looking at Zhao Hanyan from his perspective, he saw her looking at his body with lowered eyebrows, looking very probing.

Bai Yutang stared at her white forehead. For some reason, his throat felt hot, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was naturally a little hoarse: "What are you looking at?"

Zhao Hanyan didn't answer, but was still watching, and Bai Yutang took a step back.

Besides, Duan Silian just saw someone come out of the princess's mansion over the wall, and he raised his hand to signal his subordinates to arrest him, but only found out that Zhao Hanyan knew this person, so he temporarily signaled his subordinates not to do anything until they figured out the situation.

At this moment, Duan Silian was staring at Bai Yutang unrelentingly, very defensive and vigilant.But after staring at it for a long time, Duan Silian was a little reluctant to watch it.How could a man look like this?What did God think?It's time to even out the handsomeness on his face and give more to those who are ugly and can't see it, otherwise it's really unfair.

Duan Silian turned his head away, forcing himself not to look at Bai Yutang again.In Dali, he was a handsome man who was often sought after by women, but within two days of arriving in Tokyo, he met one after another who was better than him.How can he feel happy when such a good pearl is compared to dim like this.Thinking of this, Duan Silian glanced at Bai Yutang again.

Bai Yutang felt the unkind gaze from Duan Silian.With a chuckle, he didn't even look at Duan Silian, and only focused on answering Zhao Hanyan's question again.

"I'm here to do something."

"What do you want to do to climb over the wall, but you are a gentleman?" Zhao Hanyan asked Bai Yutang clearly.

"Don't get me wrong, I climb over walls everywhere, isn't it the same when I go to Kaifeng Mansion. Why, I haven't been to your place for a few days, and I forgot my preferences so quickly?" Bai Yutang asked half-jokingly.

"Climb over the wall with the master's permission and not allow it, but there are two different meanings. You are a thief now!"

Bai Yutang didn't expect that he failed to change the topic successfully, and Zhao Hanyan still insisted on it.It is understandable that she is a police officer of Kaifeng Mansion, and she probably has a heart of justice to deal with thieves and bandits.

"I didn't take anything." Bai Yutang was a little surprised why he would explain such a sentence. Usually, no matter who asked, he would be upset, and he would never answer.

Zhao Hanyan: "Then you know Princess Pingkang?"

Bai Yutang simply nodded, and said to her in a slightly provocative tone: "If you don't believe me, you can ask, anyway, the princess is in the mansion."

Bai Yutang expected that she would not be able to see the princess as a police officer, so he dared to speak so shamelessly.

Although she knew that the other party was talking nonsense, she couldn't reveal her identity as the Princess in order to expose Bai Yutang at this moment.And even if it came out, with Bai Yutang's astuteness, he would definitely have more reason to say that he really knew the princess.

"How is it? Is there anything else I need to explain?" Seeing Zhao Hanyan's suffocated look, Bai Yutang pursed his pink mouth. It was very interesting, but he asked Zhao Hanyan again, deliberately provoking her.

Zhao Hanyan didn't say a word, the occasion was not suitable, so she will settle the account carefully in the future.

"There are so many people watching you come out of the mansion in broad daylight, how do you explain it?" Zhao Hanyan asked Bai Yutang in a low voice.

"As they please." Bai Yutang, who was the least threatened, snorted coldly.

Duan Silian, who had been waiting by the side for a long time, saw the two of them whispering to each other for a while, exhausted his patience, came over and asked: "Brother Zhao, do you know this person?"

Zhao Hanyan nodded his head not wanting to admit it.

Duan Silian then looked at Bai Yutang solemnly: "Then why does this dear brother want to venture into the princess' mansion?"

Bai Yutang sneered, and was about to sternly refute Duan Silian, "If you talk too much, you'll kill him," but Zhao Hanyan said it before him.

"He is the guard of the princess' mansion." Zhao Hanyan said.

Bai Yutang froze for a moment, his long and narrow phoenix eyes moved quickly, looking at Zhao Hanyan.

"Guard Bai, how many times have I advised you not to climb over the wall in the future, others will think you are a thief!" Zhao Hanyan said to Bai Yutang again in a very stern reprimand, the last word 'thief' biting very hard.

Bai Yutang had never seen Zhao Hanyan talk to him so fiercely, although he understood that the little cook was covering for him now.In fact, it doesn't have to be like this at all, and he doesn't care, but the little cook's kindness is hard to get rid of, he can only appreciate it.

"Understood, I will pay attention in the future." Bai Yutang replied in a slightly blunt tone, lowering the volume.

Duan Silian asked Zhao Hanyan incredulously: "Is it really a guard and not a thief?"

"Young Lord Duan, don't be joking. As a policeman, how can I know a thief. Could it be that the little prince has doubts?" Zhao Hanyan borrowed Bai Yutang's trick just now, "Then the little prince can knock on the door and talk to the princess. People from the government will verify."

Duan Silian was skeptical at first, but when Zhao Hanyan said this, he felt embarrassed and hurriedly declined and said no.

"But look at this guard's attire is really fresh." Duan Silian looked at Bai Yutang's flowing white clothes, a little puzzled.

"The young prince may not know that after Pingkang Wang and his wife both passed away, everyone in the princess's mansion wore white clothes. Although the filial piety period has passed, some guards still retain the habit of wearing white clothes."

Zhao Hanyan felt that his nonsense skills had reached a new level because of Bai Yutang's relationship.

Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing while listening, nodding repeatedly in response to what Zhao Hanyan said.

"So that's how it is. My dear friend, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding just now." Duan Silian gave Bai Yutang a hand.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Duan Silian, although he didn't like him very much in his heart, he still politely returned the salute.

"Why did Brother Zhao go to walk with the young prince of Dali?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang briefly talked about the situation that Kaifeng Mansion was in charge of welcoming Duan Silian, "Today the young prince wants to go out for a walk, so I will accompany him."

"Oh, but why did you come to the Princess's Mansion?" Bai Yutang turned suspicious of Duan Silian.

Duan Silian immediately avoided Bai Yutang's gaze, feeling a little nervous.She seemed to be afraid that her mind would be seen through by the guards of Princess Pingkang's Mansion, but his appearance would arouse people's curiosity.

"We just passed by here by chance." Duan Silian said.

Zhao Hanyan asked Duan Silian incomprehensibly: "Didn't the little prince call to come here?"

Duan Silian was so embarrassed that he hurriedly gave Zhao Hanyan a wink, hoping that she would change her words as soon as possible.But at this moment, he turned his gaze elsewhere, to look at the white guard, so that he didn't look at him at all.

Duan Silian's heartfelt voice: Apart from cooking delicious food, this little cook is stupid in everything!

Bai Yutang was even more suspicious of Duan Silian: "Everyone in the city knows that our Princess is ordered to clean up in the mansion and thank guests behind closed doors. Even if the royal relatives come, they are not allowed to enter here. It is even more inappropriate for Duan Xiaowang. Then Without the permission of our princess, what is the purpose of Prince Duan wandering outside our palace?"

"I...I..." But he didn't expect a guard to question himself so bluntly in public, and he really couldn't think of any reasonable explanation.

It's so embarrassing.

"Actually, I'm also wondering why the little prince must come to the Princess's Mansion. If the little prince has any difficulties, please explain." Zhao Hanyan forced Duan Silian to explain the matter clearly. It is really a shame to come to her house for no reason. It's incredible.

Duan Silian's face turned red, but he didn't say anything.Of course, Bai Yutang would not let him go, he used words like 'a man should say what he has to say', 'it's not what a gentleman does if he promises' to provoke Duan Silian.

Duan Silian really couldn't bear this set of tricks, and finally frankly admitted: "I admire Princess Pingkang."

Zhao Hanyan: "..."

Bai Yutang: "..."

"The little prince has seen Princess Pingkang?" Zhao Hanyan asked.

Duan Silian nodded shyly, "I met once eight years ago, and it's imprinted in my bones."

Eight years ago, Lord Pingkang was still Princess Pingkang, and Zhao Hanyan hadn't come yet.

Zhao Hanyan thought that the two of them might have some memories that she didn't know about, and she had to figure it out anyway.After all, Zhao Zhen also mentioned in his heart that he would use Duan Silian to get her back to the palace.

It is not suitable to talk too much on this occasion, so Zhao Hanyan and Duan Silian suggested to go to Zhuangyuan Building, "The dishes there are the most famous in Tokyo."

Duan Silian was not in that mood, he was just forced to tell the truth and felt embarrassed, besides, his impression of Zhao Hanyan was not that good, he was too smart and quick-witted, so he turned around and sold him out.So Duan Silian is not in the mood to continue shopping, and now he just wants to go back to Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Hanyan winked at Duan Silian, "The white guards are going too, right?"

At first, Duan Silian didn't realize what he meant. Whether the white guard went or not had nothing to do with him, it was just another person to eat.But then he suddenly understood that he was the guard of Princess Pingkang's mansion, if he could make friends with him, then he might know Princess Pingkang's preferences in the future, and even communicate with Princess Pingkang...

Duan Silian was happy, he glanced at Zhao Hanyan approvingly, and sighed in his heart that the cook was finally clever.Duan Silian immediately smiled warmly and invited Bai Yutang to go to Zhuangyuan Building with them for a drink.

Bai Yutang continued to look at Zhao Hanyan.

Zhao Hanyan stretched out his hand to signal Bai Yutang to go first.

Bai Yutang had no choice but to follow Zhao Hanyan's wishes and move to the Zhuangyuan Building.When Duan Silian was discussing the room with the shopkeeper, Bai Yutang leaned over to Zhao Hanyan and asked her what she meant in a low voice.

"Do me a favor, find out what the purpose of this little prince is." Zhao Hanyan said.

Bai Yutang smiled, "It's not impossible to help, but...you understand."

"Got it, I'll make you a grilled red carp."

"There are two more dishes." Bai Yutang raised the price.

Zhao Hanyan responded, "Okay, you have to cooperate with me later, don't talk nonsense."

Because of the temptation of delicious food in front of him, Bai Yutang nodded obediently at this moment.

After the three of them sat down in the private room of the Zhuangyuan Building, Duan Silian ordered the dishes and got up to serve Bai Yutang himself.

Ordinary people would stand up to greet the prince pouring wine for him, and thank him politely.But Bai Yutang sat in the original position, motionless, being served by Duan Silian peacefully.

Duan Silian didn't expect the other party to react like this, so he was embarrassed, and sat down next to Bai Yutang after pouring the wine.

"Brother Bai, is it hard to work in the Princess's Mansion?" Duan Silian asked.

"It's okay." Bai Yutang simply perfunctory, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Duan Silian continued to pour the wine in embarrassment, and then asked Bai Yutang: "Brother Bai, can you see the princess every time he is on guard?"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Hanyan, Zhao Hanyan nodded and shook his head at him.

Bai Yutang: "Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't."

"Ah, so that's the case." Duan Silian smiled apologetically, but his heart had reached the limit of forbearance.

Zhao Hanyan: "There is no one else here, and everyone is drinking and chatting, so why don't you tell us, how did the little prince get acquainted with Princess Pingkang back then, and what kind of romance is there?"

Duan Silian laughed a little embarrassedly, "Actually, there is nothing special about it. When I came to the Northern Song Dynasty with my envoys, I was invited to the Prince's Mansion of Pingkang County and met the princess of Pingkang County. The princess has apricot eyes and peach cheeks. , understanding, we had a good time together, and we said that we would commit ourselves to each other for life. Besides, I am here this time, besides being in the Dali Emperor’s first Song Dynasty, I also want to fulfill my original promise.”

"Eight years ago, you were only so old, and the princess was only so old. How could you take your childhood jokes seriously?" Bai Yutang looked at Duan Silian with fresh eyes, thinking that he is really an idiot who arbitrarily decides his own life.

"Hey, Brother Bai doesn't understand this? This is a childhood sweetheart!" After Duan Silian talked about it, he was not as embarrassed and shy as before, and he mentioned it more and more generously, "Don't hide it from me, Duan has planned to During the palace banquet in a few days, I will express my heart to the emperor of your country. But before that, I actually want to confirm the princess's intentions first, if he doesn't want it, it will be bad if I force it."

After Duan Silian finished speaking, he sighed, looking very worried.

Seeing this, Zhao Hanyan hurriedly said, "Let's ask the white guard to send a message, how about asking?"

This time the little cook finally didn't disappoint him, Duan Silian gave Zhao Hanyan an approving look, then turned to look at Bai Yutang with a smile, and asked him if it was okay.

Bai Yutang pursed his lips, "It's a bit difficult, Bai is just a small guard after all."

"I also think it's a bit abrupt to send a message directly. Brother Bai, do you know what the princess usually likes?" Duan Silian took a step back and asked again.

"Eat." Bai Yutang glanced at Zhao Hanyan and replied without hesitation.

"Eat?" Duan Silian was surprised, a noble girl has always been taught to be dignified and virtuous, and her hobbies are mostly playing the piano and painting, but she never expected that the other party would suddenly reply with 'eat'.

"Well, yes, our Princess likes to eat, as long as it's delicious." Bai Yutang added and explained.

Zhao Hanyan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, slandering Bai Yutang in his heart for talking nonsense, which obviously meant himself.

"Ahahaha," Duan Silian hid his embarrassment with a smile, "That's really fate, I like to eat the same thing."

Duan Silian's heartfelt voice: The majestic princess can't play the piano or paint, but only likes to eat, and her body must not eat like a pig!Hey, if a person is too ugly, marrying back can only be used as a decoration.

Zhao Hanyan felt that something was wrong. If Duan Silian had met Princess Pingkang, he should probably know what Princess Pingan looked like. How could he assume that she was too ugly?

Zhao Hanyan continued to test Duan Silian: "It's a blessing to love food. By the way, when the little prince met the princess eight years ago, did the princess like to eat?"

"It's... also a little bit, but we didn't have much time to meet each other at that time, so I didn't have a deep feeling." Duan Silian explained vaguely.

Duan Silian's heartfelt voice: I don't know if she likes to eat or not, I've never seen this person before!

After Zhao Hanyan heard Duan Silian's heartfelt voice, a feeling of nausea arose spontaneously.It's no wonder that she thought this Duan Silian was strange before, he was actually a hypocrite.He seems to be enthusiastic and not put on airs when he talks and does things, he is very easy-going and popular, really like a gentleman, but in fact, what he thinks and does in his heart is all the side of a wretched person.

His previous performance in Kaifeng Mansion was probably all a disguise.

After the three of them finished the banquet, they went back to Kaifeng mansion together.Duan Silian wondered why Bai Yutang also followed.

Zhao Hanyan explained to him that Bai Yutang would play with her when he was free from work.Duan Silian felt that this was normal, so he didn't ask any more questions. After returning to Kaifeng Mansion, he quickly said goodbye to the two people who couldn't get along.

Bai Yutang followed Zhao Hanyan back to the kitchen, and while helping her choose dishes, he felt that Duan Silian was not a good person, and asked Zhao Hanyan to stay away from him in the future.

"There's no need for me to bother him, he's already bothered me first, don't worry." Zhao Han took the cabbage that Bai Yutang had picked out, and began to chop it with a knife.

"Give me cabbage for dinner later?" Bai Yutang asked.

"By the way, I haven't finished asking what I said before, so why did you go to the Princess's Mansion?" Zhao Hanyan grabbed the kitchen knife in his hand and looked at Bai Yutang.

"Feng Gao is missing." Bai Yutang said.

"What does this have to do with the princess mansion?"

Bai Yutang: "Someone gave me information that someone is hiding in Princess Pingkang's mansion."
