Everyone looked at Bai Zixuan doubtfully.
He has always been the most obedient and steady among the children and has never lied to his elders.
Likewise, he had never received such a questioning look before, which made him feel a little overwhelmed for a moment, and he quickly said,
"We can propose marriage this afternoon. There's no rush. Since Shu'er and the prince have an appointment at the Tianxiang Restaurant, it must be around noon, right? I'll go with you tomorrow."
Bai Zixuan was also a little worried about Bai Shu, so he offered to go with her.
Some time ago, on Bai Heng's birthday, he suspected something was not right between the two of them, but he did not find any results.
I wonder why he got so close this time?
It's not that he is very wary, it's just that Bai Shu is like a little white rabbit seeing the wolf king in front of Xiao Moqing.
The difference is immediately apparent.
So he was worried about his sister being bullied but he didn't know...
"Yes, yes, this arrangement is excellent. I just need to make some preparations this morning, and I must call the most reliable matchmaker in the capital!"
When Jiang heard Bai Zixuan's words, she was the first to stand up and support him.
Bai Shu had just come out of the rumors about pursuing Du Wenqing, and she must not get caught up in the rumors about her close relationship with the Regent.
In short, she can rest assured as long as her eldest son is around.
"Yes, this is also a good opportunity. The prince is quite insightful in both political and military affairs. Xuan'er should go there with a learning attitude."
Bai Heng naturally supports Bai Zixuan. The fact that the Regent was injured should not be publicized, so the Bai family will definitely keep it a secret.
Presumably, the prince wouldn't mind Bai Zixuan going along. After all, Bai Shu is still a girl, and her reputation is extremely important to her.
"Son understands."
Jiang and Bai Heng both spoke about this matter, and Bai Zixuan agreed directly.
Bai Shu had no other choice but to agree.
"Okay, I need to prepare some prescriptions this morning and go with my brother at noon."
Bai Shu didn't care whether Bai Zixuan was traveling with her or not.
Since doing so can make everyone feel at ease, then just go, after all, she and Xiao Moqing are innocent.
…
The next day, Bai Shu selected a set of silver needles that she found most convenient to use.
He grabbed another dose of medicine and asked Youlan to give it to Chengfeng in advance to boil it into a medicinal juice for later use. However, he saw a hint of rejection on Youlan's face.
Bai Shu thought this was really interesting. Whatever she had asked her to do in the past, she would always do it without hesitation.
Her thoughts were written all over her face, it was really hard not to notice.
"Do you have a grudge against the prince?"
Bai Shu was puzzled. They were fine when they came back yesterday. Could it be that they were still holding a grudge against Xiao Moqing for catching them?
"No, no, why would you ask that, miss?"
Youlan looked terrified. Did she have a grudge against the Regent Dongye? She still wanted to live a few more years!
"Look at yourself in the mirror. Everything you're thinking is written on your face."
Bai Shu found it funny. She thought Youlan was probably the easiest girl to deceive in the world.
You can tell whether you like someone or not from their face.
"I just suddenly remembered that yesterday the prince's guard Chengfeng stopped me from going in to find you. He also refused to tell me about the young lady's situation. I am very worried."
Youlan has not forgotten Chengfeng's irritating behavior yesterday.
Everyone is doing this for the master, so why is he so cold and indifferent?
"He, he is just that dull character, he only has eyes for his master."
Bai Shu understood. She had not seen Cheng Feng many times, but she always thought he was naive and always obeyed Xiao Moqing's orders.
And judging from his concern for Xiao Moqing yesterday, he should be a loyal subordinate.
From this point of view, Chengfeng and Youlan are somewhat similar.
"Well, it's because the rumors about the prince outside are a bit scary that this servant is worried about the young lady."
Youlan understood the truth, but she was indeed frightened yesterday.
"Don't worry, your young lady is very capable. If you don't want to see Chengfeng, just tell someone to send her over."
Bai Shu is happy for her original self. She is surrounded by not only her family but also loyal servants.
…
After Bai Zixuan came back from the Ministry of Industry, he went straight to Bai Shu's yard and went to the Tianxiang Restaurant with her to keep the appointment.
The Ministry of Works has been busy recently, but he still took half a day off to accompany his sister to meet the prince, and then go to the Liu family to propose marriage as a sign of respect.
"Did Big Brother send someone to tell Sister Liu that we're coming to propose marriage today?"
On the way, Bai Shu asked Bai Zixuan.
"Not yet. I told Ru Yin yesterday that we would come and propose marriage as soon as possible."
Bai Zixuan rushed to the Ministry of Works early in the morning and didn't have time to report the news.
"Brother, you'll be able to rest assured after meeting the prince. Let's inform Sister Liu in advance."
Bai Shu understands this kind of thing best. Women need to make a lot of preparations.
It would be bad if they left too suddenly and didn't leave time for the future bride.
"Okay, I'll accompany you to pay my respects to the prince and then go."
Bai Zixuan was mainly worried about his sister's reputation and Xiao Moqing's injury.
If he and Bai Shu were to meet the prince together, there would be no rumors that would be detrimental to the two of them.
…
When Bai Shu arrived at Tianxiang Restaurant, Xue Niang personally greeted them and took them to the most luxurious private room on the top floor.
Xiao Moqing was still dressed in a noble manner, sitting in the upper seat.
"My daughter pays homage to His Majesty."
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
After Bai Shu bowed, she was attracted by a burst of fragrance.
【Xiang is confused! 】
[Oh yeah! Today is Dragon Boat Festival, so we have to eat rice dumplings, with five white and five yellow ones! This trip was definitely worth it.]
Bai Shu looked at the table full of lunch, and her stomach, more honest than her mouth, began to growl.
On the table were not only various kinds of rice dumplings and dragon boat rice, but also eels, yellow croaker, cucumbers, salted egg yolks, rice wine, boiled pork, white garlic, boiled chicken, white tofu, wild rice stem...
[Xiao Moqing is really considerate. He actually prepared some delicious food for me!]
Xiao Mo listened to Bai Shu's inner thoughts, watching her swallowing hard and her eyes glued to the table.
The corners of the mouth rise imperceptibly.
Bai Zixuan did not miss this scene, and his heart immediately started to ring with alarm.
What does the Regent mean by this? Is he really attracted to his sister?
The sight of his sister staring at the delicious food on the table without any defense made him hold his forehead.
Are you sure this has nothing to do with the Regent?
I'm afraid she doesn't even know what big trap she has fallen into!
Alas, what should I do...
Xiao Moqing looked at Bai Zixuan who came with Bai Shu and guessed his purpose.
But he didn't say much, just raised his left hand slightly, picked up the teacup, and deliberately exposed the wound wrapped in gauze.
"Master Bai is here too, so let's have lunch together. After lunch, I'll have to trouble your sister to change the medicine for me."
Bai Zixuan did not directly accept Xiao Moqing's invitation, but carefully observed the Regent's attitude towards his sister.
The bandages were still stained with blood, so the wound must be quite serious. I think it's true that I want my sister to heal me.
