Chapter 1 Keeping People 1
"I have news about Wumu and can give it to you, but in exchange, you must go to the palace for me tomorrow to attend the Queen's birthday party."
Bai Jinyu turned her head and thought she had heard it wrong.
"You heard it right," Just as she knew what she was thinking, Su Lihua straightened her smooth and slender neck and said word by word: "Just like that time, pretending to be me, the concubine of Fengchen, Your Highness King Jin, Su Lihua!"
Bai Jinyu felt a stern when she heard the word "六子" deliberately dragged.
Looking at Su Lihua who was about to come to her face, she leaned back and said with great ease: "Are you crazy? We have been missing for so many years, and you asked me to do such a big thing as soon as we meet?"
"That's right," Su Lihua smiled: "Who said that there is no one else to do this except my sister!" The corners of her mouth were raised, but there was no smile in her bright eyes.
Bai Jinyu missed this gaze and took a long breath. The name "sister" that should have been intimate and tender, always has a chilling flavor from Su Lihua's mouth.
Bai Jinyu was ridiculous and said, "It was the past. Now you and Feng Chen have been married for seven years. Can we not realize it if we change him? Believe it or not, I will twist my waist and say something, and I will reveal it to you immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Su Lihua paused for a moment, but said, "You just go there for only one day, he won't notice it."
*
On a long day of rain and sunny days, a golden and vermilion carriage slowly started from the gate of the Shangshu Mansion under the escort of the guards and drove towards the direction of the palace.
Bai Jinyu was sitting in the car, feeling restless.
The heavy hairpin on her head and the layers of brocade fabric on her body made her breathless, but she couldn't stand up, jumped out of the car, and left with a swagger.
Su Lihua wants her to do things and always holds her seven inches.
Two months ago, Qilutai, which was enforced by the emperor, was built. Wu Mu was ordered by the Khan of Duoyue Kingdom to come to Chang'an to attend the inauguration ceremony. Unexpectedly, his whereabouts were unknown since then.
Duoyue Kingdom explored from many places, but there was no news about Wumu. Seeing that there was no progress in the matter, Wumu's bride was crying all day long. Bai Jinyu could no longer hold on and brought a few people back to Zhengchao and came to Chang'an.
However, as soon as she entered Chang'an, she was kidnapped by unknown people. It was not until yesterday that she met Su Lihua that she realized that she had made no progress in the past few years and fell into Su Lihua's hands again.
Even though she was abused by others, she hadn't seen her for seven years. After seeing her, Bai Jinyu wanted to talk to her twin sister. But Su Lihua didn't have the intention at all, she just wanted to assign tasks to her, a task that she wanted to overturn the table just by listening to.
Of course, it is impossible to lift the table.
Su Lihua knew very well that for Wu Mu's whereabouts, let alone pretending to be someone to attend a palace banquet, even if she knew it was a fire pit, Bai Jinyu would jump in by herself!
With the bumpy tides, the carriages seemed to enter a downtown area. The fragrance of buns and pancakes, the hawking of street vendors, and the laughter of women and children gradually became clear. The long-lasting fireworks made Bai Jinyu unable to help but turn the corner of the curtain of the car window. Suddenly, the sentient beings in the bustling imperial capital came to their faces.
There are tall buildings lined up, people are coming and going, distant mountains are like screens, and green grass is spreading over the embankment.
Chang'an has a look that is exactly the same, and she has returned here.
Seven years have passed. If Su Lihua had not mentioned this time limit yesterday, Bai Jinyu would not have felt that so many days had passed. Think about it, if Cheng Wumu's love was taken in Duoyue Kingdom, she would have already been covered with bones!
It is time for the palace to go and take a look. Even if there is no Su Lihua's deal, Bai Jinyu has already been preparing to inquire. After all, there is Qilutai there, which is the last place where Wu Mu has clearly appeared!
The car turned a few turns, and the hustle and bustle on the street were gradually thrown away, and the outside of the car became quieter and quieter. Bai Jinyu knew that this was not about entering a deserted place, but about to arrive at the palace.
"Empress!"
This sound made Bai Jinyu tremble all over her body, and she accepted that the sound was calling her. The woman who called her outside the car was Huang Gu, Su Lihua's most confidant old servant.
"It's almost here ahead. His Highness King Jin has already been in the palace this morning. He will come to welcome you!"
"Oh, I got it."
Bai Jinyu responded casually in the car and touched the stool on the side. She remembered that the stool in the car had been modified by her before, and it was lifted up as an inner box. She put a small mirror inside, so she could tidy up her appearance before getting off the car.
With a touch, things are within reach!
Bai Jinyu took out the object, looked back and forth, and it turned out to be the small mirror he threw inside.
She couldn't help but be surprised: It's been more than seven years, and the carriage in the King of Jin's Mansion still retains its old appearance. Has no one discovered this little secret?
Holding the mirror in front of you, a face exactly the same as Su Lihua, a thin and straight nose, bright apricot eyes, and a bright eyebrows were specially clad in the shape of willow leaves today.
Looking at this face, Bai Jinyu had to admit that she and Su Lihua were definitely one of the rare twin girls in the world who were extremely similar. Apart from their different names, they almost had no difference in their voices.
Perhaps because he looked too much like Su Lihua, Bai Jinyu felt a little disgusted when he looked at herself in the mirror.
Two thick palace gates opened in a quiet voice, the coachman held the horse and lifted the reins. The car stopped and moved again, as if he had finished checking the list of the palace.
At this time, the car window was half-opened by Huang Gu from outside. She pointed carefully into the distance and said softly: "Empress, look, Your Highness King Jin is there!"
At this moment, there were already people on the long dike, and the guests were coming and going. Huang Gu pointed casually. If it were ordinary people, they would not be recognized by the crowd, but Feng Chen was not an ordinary person.
Bai Jinyu looked along Huang Gu's finger and saw a green willow on the shimmering Jinshui River. A man tied his hair with golden hair and wide sleeves in silver clothes, standing quietly by the water. The river wind came and went, and his belt was urged to flip and flew, flying, and outlining his handsome figure in the wind.
The scenery in the palace was originally rich and colorful, but this person changed the style of the painting to be elegant with his own strength. Anyone who passed by him could not help but look at him.
Bai Jinyu suddenly remembered the words that Chang'an people were proud of: The most beautiful Three Qins, they will never be frivolous.
Beside Feng Chen, there was a young figure with wide shoulders and thin back, towering and upright, like a sword that was unsheathed at any time.
Bai Jinyu knew that it must be Xie Yao, but she didn't expect that after a few years of daze, the child had already grown as tall as Feng Chen.
The two of them stood side by side, as if they were forming a barrier, and were cold and lonely, which was very different from the guests who were leading their wife and children to chat and laugh.
Bai Jinyu couldn't help but think: Xie Yao is just like this, why is Feng Chen like this now?
Since Bai Jinyu paid attention to him, he has been standing still. Although his figure is handsome and elegant, he can read it from his figure that he does not expect the arrival of his family.
The carriage walked along the pebbly road towards the Jinshui River. Bai Jinyu, who was still quite calm along the way, felt a little palpitation for no reason.
Before she could think about why she was in a palpitations, she quickly adjusted her breath and calmed down. She knew very well that Su Lihua's task must be completed properly, otherwise she would never cash in on the bargaining chips of the transaction.
"Empress, Your Highness, King of Jin, has picked you up!"
Before the rest was adjusted, the curtain of the car was suddenly lifted up, and Bai Jinyu subconsciously looked up.
Immediately, everything was silent.
It was like a dark room suddenly casting a thousand feet of light, and suddenly the world turned into a vast white area, everything seemed to be hidden and isolated, leaving only the person in front of him the most brilliant and prominent.
Bai Jinyu's whole body stiffened, as if she was being nailed to a car. At the moment of meeting her face, she suddenly understood why she felt palpitations!
It was because she was afraid that she would see Fengchen again.
Like a thief, afraid of seeing his master.
Bai Jinyu was still in the car, speechless, and had no idea how many breaths it would take to get through normally.
When she sat down, she formed a stalemate with Feng Chen standing in front of the car. One was unwilling to go forward and the other was unwilling to stand up. One stood and sat down as if she was silently competing.
After a long time, Feng Chen felt abnormal and his eyes finally swept towards her.
These two gazes were really cold and strange, and Bai Jinyu shivered all over her body. She couldn't believe that this was the wink that Feng Chen, who was expensive but not cold, clear but constantly moving, would make people move.
She lowered her eyes, and some doubts flashed through her heart. Before she could think about it, she saw Feng Chen slowly handing her a hand.
The hand in front of me was white and slender, with clear joints and smooth joints. At first sight, I knew that his master was a pampered person, elegant and noble. But it was this hand, and this clear welcome move, which made Bai Jinyu shrink backwards.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no," Bai Jinyu avoided it with a Qianci remark and moved outward almost against the wall of the car.
Feng Chen's eyes trembled slightly. He raised his eyelids without retracting his hand. His clean and slender fingers were still hanging towards her, as if he had any intention.
It would be inappropriate to refuse again. Bai Jinyu hesitated for a moment, held his hand, bowed and walked out of the car.
Feng Chen's hand was very warm and powerful. She held this hand carefully and she got down the ladder. After standing, she pulled her hand back, but found that she couldn't even pull it out.
"What's wrong?" Because of guilt, Bai Jinyu's first sentence dared not exceed three words.
Feng Chen didn't say anything, his eyes gradually raised from Bai Jinyu's hand.
When Bai Jinyu cast her eyes, she felt that the inner obstructions were about to be illuminated one by one. Looking at these clear and elegant eyes, she wanted to calm down.
Bai Jinyu tightened her cheeks and nervously followed Feng Chen's gaze and looked at his hands.
There were two gray marks clearly printed on her face. She thought about it and it was only possible that it was the dust she encountered when she was holding the mirror just now.
Bai Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, didn't you dirty, did she?" She took the opportunity to pull her hand back with her words.
Feng Chen let go of his hand, but he didn't respond, and watched Bai Jinyu wipe his fingers clean.
"Okay." Bai Jinyu burst into laughter and showed him his hand.
Feng Chen's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and he turned around and left. He was very fast. Xie Yao, who was standing beside him, was stunned for a moment and was about to run before chasing him.
Is he angry? Bai Jinyu couldn't believe it with her eyes raised. She was just a little dirty. Is it so strict now?
Feng Chen walked forward, Xie Yao followed behind with a serious look on his face, Bai Jinyu led a group of servants to chase after him desperately. This strange family attracted everyone to look at him.
Until the inner garden, the female family members were led by the palace servants and separated from the royal men, and the embarrassment ended.
The banquets in the palace are always held by men and women. In addition, yesterday, Su Lihua said that she had been living in the Shangshu Mansion of her parents’ house on the grounds of taking care of her mother’s illness, so she waited for the banquet to end and the carriage returned to Shangshu Mansion.
So Bai Jinyu believes that in the next time, she and Feng Chen should not have any intersection.
