Bai Jinyuzai lying in the bathtub for unknown periods, but was woken up by a fierce sound of slapping the door. Then she realized that she had fallen asleep while taking a bath. The water used to bathe had cooled down, her body sank into the basin, and her nose was one inch against the water surface. If someone hadn't slapped the door in time, she would have been awakened by the water pouring into her nose.
Bai Jinyu sat up and felt all her limbs and bones were sore. After shaking for a while, she became clearer and gradually heard that the person who was slamming the door was Wen Ruolan.
"Wait a moment, I'll be here!" Bai Jinyu shivered, got up from the cold bathtub, wiped her body with a dry cloth, and changed into the clothes that Wen Ruolan prepared for her.
While wearing a dress, Bai Jinyu opened a door. Wen Ruolan walked into the house in shock, staring at her face and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you asleep?"
Bai Jinyu's face was slightly tired. Before she could dry her hair, the water dripped down her black hair and fell on her clean front, causing a small piece of it to swell.
Bai Jinyu pressed her eyes with both hands: "Yes, I'm so tired... I felt so comfortable in taking a bath. I fell asleep as soon as I was not careful."
"Thank you so hard!" Wen Ruolan sighed, pulled Bai Jinyu to the dressing table and sat down, took the dry cloth beside her and stood behind her, helping her dry hair.
In front of the half-person-high bronze mirror, the dim yellow candlelight made the two of them faintly faintly faint.
Wen Ruolan gently picked the hair in front of Bai Jinyu behind her ears with a wooden comb for her long hair that was above her waist, and carefully picked up a few hair accessories to tie her hair up.
After waiting for the hair to comb, Wen Ruolan lowered her lower body, her chin almost leaned against Bai Jinyu's temple, and looked at her intently from the bronze mirror.
Bai Jinyu was not used to Wen Ruolan's gaze at first, but she adapted to it over time. Her memories when she was young were blurred. She rarely had such warm moments with her mother in her memories, and she felt a little greedy for this feeling.
"We Jinyu are also pure and beautiful people! If you had not left back then and grew up by my side like Lihua, you must have found a high-ranking official and nobleman to be your husband now!" Wen Ruolan looked at Bai Jinyu in the mirror and sighed with regret.
Bai Jinyu immediately said casually: "Why are you a high-ranking official and not a certain prince?"
Wen Ruolan was stunned and was asked, and she felt that she was biased in her words.
Bai Jinyu looked at Wen Ruolan with innocent eyes open. She thought for a while and said, "Marrying the royal family? It's too difficult to become a lady like Lihua! She has outstanding appearance and decent behavior. She is well-read in poetry and books, has good arts and is full of talent, but she must be modest and cautious, be low and obedient, and not show off. With your personality, it is impossible to do it."
After hearing this, Bai Jinyu felt dissatisfied with the first thought, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Wen Ruolan was right, so he also suffocated the slightest anger.
At this time, several servants in the mansion brought some food into the house. Wen Ruolan put down the comb in her hand and greeted enthusiastically: "Come on, you must be hungry. I have prepared some food for you. Come and eat it quickly!" As she said that, she held Bai Jinyu's shoulder and asked her to get up.
Bai Jinyu let out a "sniff" and her eyebrows squeezed together. It was a coincidence that the place where Wen Ruolan touched was where she was injured by the sword.
Wen Ruolan quickly shrank her hands: "What's wrong?"
Bai Jinyu covered her arm and shook her head and said, "It's okay, I accidentally got a sword in Cuizhu!"
Wen Ruolan said in surprise: "You were discovered?"
Bai Jinyu sighed softly: "Yes!"
Wen Ruolan worried, "Will there be something wrong?"
Bai Jinyu was sure: "It's okay, my identity has not been revealed. They don't know who the pirated seal is. When I go back, I find an opportunity to put the seal back in place and it will be fine."
"That's good," Wen Ruolan took a breath, then grabbed Bai Jinyu's shoulder and said, "Let me see the injury!"
She rolled up Bai Jinyu's sleeves, and sure enough, she saw a dark red, two-inch-long scab line near the bend of her arm. Not far from the sword wound, there was also a light red whip that looked like an arm ring.
Wen Ruolan twitched her eyebrows and put down her sleeve: "You have suffered again, but fortunately, you have already exchanged for Lihua this time for injury, otherwise she will be hit by another blow."
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional. When Wen Ruolan said this, Bai Jinyu felt that her heart was stinged slightly. She didn't exert so much force, but she felt a little painful.
Wen Ruolan was completely unaware of it and took Bai Jinyu to the dining table. She scooped her a bowl of rib soup and handed it to her: "Drink it quickly and replenish it. I have definitely used a lot of energy to go back and forth between Chang'an and Luzhou in the past seven or eight days."
Bai Jinyu took the soup, touched the hot bowl wall with his fingers, but suddenly sneezes with a "sneeze".
Wen Ruolan quickly took a veil and blew her face, and said carelessly: "Oh, I must have caught a cold in the shower. Have some hot soup to warm up!"
Bai Jinyu asked her to sit down without caring about it: "It's okay, I'm not that stingy, I just sneeze."
Wen Ruolan said, "Oh, you are just a stubborn child, which makes people feel both painful and hateful. Tell me, I asked you to pretend to be with the King of Jin at that time, and you are so, you will not accept it!"
Bai Jinyu's movement of drinking soup stopped.
Wen Ruolan said: "Your father and I... Lord Su and I can see that His Highness King Jin has a good impression of you. For us, whoever you and Su Lihua are the same as this concubine of King Jin. You can stay by his side to avoid Lihua being careful when she hides the truth. Fortunately, Lihua is smart and speaks without any leakage. His Highness King Jin has never noticed that someone has changed."
When Wen Ruolan said the first half of the sentence, Bai Jinyu originally wanted to say, "I stay, what should Su Lihua do?" But when he heard the second half of the sentence, Bai Jinyu blurted out without thinking: "Since the King of Jin can't see it, of course, let Lihua return to its original position! Didn't you just say that no one can be a lady like Su Lihua? She is full of poetry and books, proficient in the Six Arts, decent behavior, and low-key obedience. How can I do it? Maybe one day it will be exposed on which occasion... Besides, I will still go back to Cuizhu!"
Wen Ruolan was suddenly attacked by her and was stunned for a while. Then she narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Jinyu's face that was no longer angrily rosy, and then said, "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Jinyu, let me ask you, why are you going to steal Wen's seal?"
Regarding the question Wen Ruolan asked, Bai Jinyu showed an inexplicable and incredible expression. She lowered her voice and said, "Why don't you know? Because there is no imperial seal on the imperial edict of His Majesty the Emperor's throne. This matter is now spread in the palace. If a prince wants to attack, His Majesty will be out of control. As long as the imperial edict has the Wen family seal, the weight will be different."
