White Hedge Dream

Chapter 239 Greetings

When Bai Li woke up, the morning light was slightly bright.

Looking at the light blue tent in front of me, I felt a little dazed.

In fact, I haven’t lived here for a long time, and I haven’t been away for a short time, but when I came back suddenly, I didn’t feel unfamiliar at all.

Has the decoration here not changed at all? Or is it because there are familiar people here?

Bai Li stretched out his hand to lift up the bed curtain, and the gauze curtain of the distant mountains and mist and rain hung on the bedroom door. The outside was faintly visible, but he couldn't see anything clearly.

But the sound of her lifting the bed curtain was heard outside, and then there were light footsteps, and a figure walked to the gauze curtain.

"Ali, are you awake?"

Bai Li sat up and responded with a smile, watching the distant mountains swaying, the mist and rain receding, and Zhou Jingyun lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Did you sleep well?" he said, handing over a glass of water.

Bai Li took it and nodded with a smile: "Have a good night's sleep." He drank some water and asked Zhou Jingyun, "What about you?" Then he looked outside and said, "The Arhat bed is a bit small."

Zhou Jingyun didn't leave last night. After all, he cleared the yard with great fanfare and went to sleep in the outer study. It was unreasonable.

Of course, they are no longer a fake couple. There are no maids in the yard, no need to put on a show, and no need to sleep together.

So Zhou Jingyun slept on the Luohan bed in the east room last night.

"Of course I sleep well at home." Zhou Jingyun said with a smile.

If Chunyue and the other maids were here, they would definitely object.

In fact, he doesn't sleep well at home either. He has difficulty falling asleep and has many dreams.

But I did sleep well last night, without any dreams, maybe because she was by my side and I didn't have any worries.

Zhou Jingyun turned his attention.

"Jiang Yun sent Mrs. Zhuang and Po Xu in last night."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li stood up quickly: "Really? I was so deep in sleep that I didn't hear it."

"They were also afraid of waking you up," Zhou Jingyun said, "so they just took a rest."

Perhaps hearing the voices of the two people indoors, footsteps began to move in the yard.

"These are flowers, these are leaves, and these are lanterns."

The adults were teasing and the children were babbling.

Bai Li walked to the window and saw Mrs. Zhuang Huang Ru holding her child and playing in the yard. The wet nurse was washing the child's clothes. Po Xu came from the corridor: "The kitchen here has everything..."

When they said this, they noticed movement by the window. Several people looked over and saw Bai Li leaning against the window and Zhou Jingyun standing behind her.

"My dear lady, you're awake." Xu Po said with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"

Bai Li smiled and said, "Anything is fine."

The child in Mrs. Zhuang's arms opened her arms and babbling at the two of them, wanting to be hugged.

Zhou Jingyun smiled: "I'll hold her, you go and wash up." After that, he walked out.

Bai Li watched him walk into the yard, take the child from Mrs. Zhuang's arms, and raise it high for the child to grab the leaves on the tree. The child's laughter instantly rang out in the yard.

…

…

Chun Yue carried the food box towards the kitchen. A servant girl saw it and hurriedly took it.

"Why did my sister deliver it in person? The little girls are lazy again!" she said.

Chunyue said with a smile: "I didn't ask them to deliver it. It's just leisure time. I can take a walk after eating."

The maids and maids in the Prince's courtyard had temporarily moved out. They were still on the Prince's side and there was no need to rearrange their errands, so Zhou Jingyun simply gave them a break.

Chunhong and her family members were all in the Hou Mansion, so they all went home. Chunyue bought it from outside, but their family members were gone and they had nowhere to go.

"Mom, can I help you here?"

The servant girl dared to call her, and greeted her with a smile: "Sister, you are here just in time, help me try the newly made lotus leaf cake."

After that, he took Chunyue into the kitchen. As soon as he entered, he heard the chirping sounds of the servants.

"It's absolutely true, there are children living in it."

"I passed by that way last night and heard it!"

"I heard before that the prince has raised people outside and has given birth to children."

"It seems that the madam and the prince have been arguing for so long, but they finally failed to defeat the prince and took the child in."

"What about the woman? Did she come too?"

When he said this, he was interrupted by the servant woman coughing heavily and yelling, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The chatting maids turned around and saw Chun Yue standing at the door. They immediately dispersed in embarrassment and panic.

"Don't listen to their nonsense." The servant woman said with a smile.

Nonsense? Chunyue thought, probably not, the prince would never act inexplicably and for no reason.

She couldn't help but look in the direction of the Prince's courtyard. It turned out that a new person had moved in.

…

…

Entering the room, Bai Li put away his umbrella and saluted Mrs. Dongyang Hou: "Madam."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou squinted her eyes. She just saw Zhou Jingyun coming in holding an umbrella. Why was there suddenly an extra person?

Fortunately, she was more thoughtful now. When she heard that the Crown Prince was coming, she immediately asked everyone in the room to leave.

"Mom." Zhou Jingyun greeted with a smile, "Did you have a good rest last night?"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou's eyes turned to them. They had rosy faces and bright eyebrows. She snorted: "I don't have as good a rest as you."

Bai Li saluted: "It was me who caused trouble for Madam."

She didn't say anything about her, so Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted.

The woman didn't need her to comfort her. She raised her head and said with a smile: "Madam, today the prince is going to accompany me to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. Let's go and ask..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Dongyang Hou waved her hands repeatedly.

"Don't tell me this!" She said, "Your affairs have nothing to do with me." Zhou Jingyun bowed: "Please rest assured, mother, I know that I am related to the lives of everyone in the Hou Mansion, and I will not act recklessly."

What Mrs. Dongyang Hou wanted to say, Bai Li said from the side: "Madam, the prince brought me back because he was bewitched. He didn't mean to put the Hou family into danger."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked at her, but before she opened her mouth, Zhou Jingyun had already shaken his head at Bai Li: "I also said that it was not Shen Qing's fault that I made that decision. If I didn't think about it, he couldn't deceive me, so I didn't want to see it. Zhang Ze and others used to hunt down the remnants of Empress Chiang, framed Luo Zhi, and killed innocent people. "

After saying that, he looked at Mrs. Dongyang Hou.

"Mother, there are many dangers in this world, but a gentleman should do something and something he should not do."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou slapped the table: "Are you two here to teach me a lesson early in the morning? After you finish talking, she talks, after she finishes talking, you talk, can't you come here after you finish talking so much!"

Bai Li poked Zhou Jingyun, bowed his head and saluted: "Madam, please calm down."

Zhou Jingyun also saluted again: "Mom, calm down."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked at the two of them and snorted coldly: "Zhou Jingyun, don't forget that you, a gentleman, were raised by a woman like me! Without my actions and inactions, do you think you have a chance to stand now?" Teach me a lesson in front of me? Besides, although I am a woman, I have not just lived at home these past few decades, I have never experienced anything!"

The late emperor was moody and angry. In addition to being wary of the princes, he was also eyeing these meritorious people.

In the past few decades, many old ministers and old generals have been destroyed. The survival of the Dongyang Marquis Mansion did not rely on being wise and wise.

"We rely on doing something and not doing anything." Mrs. Dongyang Hou said slowly, looking at Zhou Jingyun, and sneered, "If you are really timid and fearful, you will not be allowed to enter the palace in the first place, or if you contradict For the first time, the late Emperor When you were sent away from the capital, how could you be allowed to walk in front of His Majesty? Not to mention that you later refused to be given an official post by Empress Chiang to leave the capital. Do you think we really can't control your behavior today? , is it natural?”

"No, it's Mrs. Hou who teaches me well!"

Bai Li's voice sounded.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou glared at her: "Shut up, you are talking in front of me again."

Bai Li quickly straightened up and bowed his head.

Zhou Jingyun bowed solemnly again: "Thank you, mother, for your teaching."

She didn't want to talk about the past, so Mrs. Dongyang Hou exhaled: "Tell me again, why did you come to see me?"

Bai Li spoke first and said, "Tell Madam to go out, so that Madam will not know what we are doing and worry about it."

That's pretty much it. Mrs. Dongyang Hou said in a deep voice: "You haven't left even after you finish talking! How come there are so many words!"

Zhou Jingyun smiled: "My child, please leave."

Bai Li also bowed and followed Zhou Jingyun out without saying another word.

The room fell silent.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted softly.

"Who are you looking down on?" she said. "To scare people by pretending to be a gentleman is not just fighting for power and gain to the death. Who has never done that before?"

…

…

When the carriage of Dongyang Marquis Mansion stopped outside Prince Chu Mansion, there were many people sitting in the gatehouse of Prince Chu Mansion. Of course, they were all dandies.

"It doesn't matter if others don't come, we must come!"

"This not only destroys King Chu's industry, it also destroys ours!"

"That's right, my dad is still laughing at home. It's so cold-blooded."

Although the King of Chu did not see guests because he was sad, it does not prevent everyone from sitting here and sharing the sorrow with the King of Chu.

"Where are we going to play from now on?"

Someone sighed.

Someone even shed tears after hearing this: "I'm so miserable. My father just released me, but the building and the boat were lost."

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Xue Silang who was crying with his face covered, and they suddenly felt sympathy and wanted to laugh.

"Silang, are the Crown Prince and the King of Chu really..." Someone came over to ask. As soon as he started speaking, someone shouted, "The Crown Prince is here!"

The crowd rushed out, and sure enough they saw Zhou Jingyun getting off the carriage, followed by a maid with her head lowered.

"Your Majesty!" Xue Silang pushed through everyone and rushed out, "Why do you..."

He wanted to say why you are here, but then he thought about it, the prince is now a frequent visitor to the building, so of course he should come.

"You are here just in time. King Chu is heartbroken and has no one to see. I don't know how he is doing now."

Zhou Jingyun nodded: "I'll go take a look."

After that, he walked towards the door.

The guards standing at the gate and the cold-faced chamberlains looked a little strange when they saw him, but they got out of the way.

"Your Majesty, please." they said.

Zhou Jingyun nodded and walked inward, followed closely by his maid.

Xue Silang hurriedly followed, but was immediately stopped by the cold-faced chamberlain.

"The prince has no visitors!"

Zhou Jingyun didn’t even put it in directly!

"The prince has ordered that there is no need to report the prince's arrival!" the chamberlain said loudly.

The prince had given instructions. Everyone stood on tiptoe and looked inside with complicated expressions. Those who wanted to ask Xue Silang before did not ask.

What's there to ask?

The relationship between King Chu and the Crown Prince is really extraordinary!

…

…

Li Yu ran out and saw Bai Li walking behind Zhou Jingyun.

"Ah..." he called, swallowing back the word "Li", and then looked at Zhou Jingyun aside. Although he deliberately took a step back and let Bai Li come forward,...

With outsiders around, I still can’t hug Bai Li.

He lowered his raised hand and held it.

He lowered his head and sounded muffled.

"...I'm sorry, it was me who caused the trouble this time and almost killed you..."
