Chapter 3422: Extra Chapter 1
The emperor snorted, folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope.
Eunuch Wu smiled. Although the emperor looked like he disliked the white prince consort, among so many princesses and princes consorts, he was most satisfied with this one.
Even the new prince consort that she personally selected for her daughter was not as pleasing to her as this one.
Among the many consorts, those who can always be faithful to the princess are either limited in talent, cowardly, and not as dignified as the white consort; or they are ambitious in official careers and need to maintain their relationship with the royal family;
Most of the princes-in-law, even if they do not have concubines, will have many people in their houses, and of course, many of them will seek official careers.
Among so many princes-in-law, Bai Cheng is the only one who is a Jinshi, proud and noble, not caring about his official career, and devoted only to the princess.
Moreover, Prince Consort Bai and the princess were truly in perfect harmony. Although the emperor always disliked Prince Consort Bai for his lack of ambition, he was actually happy that he followed his husband's lead.
After the emperor stuffed the letter in, he said, "Tell the princess's mansion to send the received items to the palace, and have the guards deliver the items and give this letter to the princess."
It was obvious that they wanted to cut off Bai Xiaojungong's escape route for help.
Of course, this is a later story. At this time, Bai Erlang and Mingda had just arrived and met up with Zhou Man and the others.
Zhou Man immediately closed his stall. The bun stall across the street, which was always looked after by them, couldn't help but ask, "Closing so early?"
Zhou Man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I'm glad to have friends here, so I won't sell it anymore."
The people at the stall next to them thought, they have to sell it too.
These three people have set up stalls at the market several times recently, but no one buys their goods.
Anyway, Zhou Man and the others were happy, so the group happily packed up their stall and went home.
Bai Erlang and Mingda only took a senior palace maid with them, and asked the others to stay and move their things up for them later.
When they finally climbed up the mountain panting, Bai Erlang was speechless. "You, why are you so desperate to build a house at such a high place?"
Bai Shan looked at him with disdain, "You haven't exercised enough. Look at Yin Huo, although he's short of breath, he's not like you."
Bai Shan and Zhou Man, who had been going up and down the mountains and into the woods a lot recently, were just breathing a little faster and didn't seem to have changed much.
Bai Erlang turned his head and looked at Yin Huo.
Yin Huo met his gaze, smiled slightly, and said, "The mountain isn't that high. It's true that you haven't exercised enough."
There are many mountains here, but they are not very high. One mountain peak is stacked on top of another, sloping upwards, so as long as you control your speed, climbing is not tiring.
Zhou Man motioned him to look back, "This is why we settled here."
Bai Erlang looked back and saw clouds floating among the mountains behind him. The sunlight was not very good today, so the clouds did not disperse, but they shone through the mountains, making the treetops under the clouds glow with a light golden light.
He was stunned for a moment.
Bai Shan was a little pleased with himself, "How is it? Doesn't it look good?"
He said, "We spent a whole day choosing this location, going back and forth between these two mountains to compare them."
They had heard about this scenery when they first arrived, and they came here specifically to visit it. "These two mountains are famous for the countless wild pomegranates in the mountains. Every year in March and April, the middle of the two mountains are covered with colorful pomegranate flowers, which are extremely gorgeous."
"I only discovered after coming here that not only are the pomegranate flowers below the halfway point beautiful, but the clouds and mist are also beautiful," Bai Shan said. "The climate here is humid and humid, so the clouds and mist will not disperse unless the sun is shining. Whether they disperse or not, they are still beautiful."
Mingda: "You guys know how to find a place."
It's really nice here.
When they turned a corner and saw the house built at the foot of the mountain and a large platform extending in front of the house, Mingda and Bai Erlang were so impressed that they were speechless.
Zhou Man said: "I didn't know you were coming, but there are still houses available."
The servants could squeeze into a room if they squeezed together. When they built it, they made it wider, so whether it was the three rooms in the main house or the left and right wing rooms, they were all very large.
Zhou Man asked Xibing to pack up their things and move in when a room was vacant, leaving the main room to Mingda and Bai Er.
Mingda said hurriedly, "No need. It would be too troublesome to move like this. We can just move into the wing room after we have packed up."
Zhou Man was about to retort, but Bai Er said nonchalantly, "You are the hosts, and we are the guests. How can a guest live in the main house? So be it. I've lived in the wing rooms many times anyway."
Bai Shan smiled and said, "See if there's anything missing. Let them go down and buy it while it's still early. Otherwise, we'll just have to make do tonight."
"Let's make do with it," Bai Erlang didn't mind. He was particularly interested in the cave they mentioned in the letter and asked excitedly, "Where is the cave? Is your family still short of water? Or should I go get some?"
So Bai Erlang and Bai Shan carried the wooden barrel out, and Zhou Man and Mingda Yinhuo followed behind. "Go down a little and turn the corner."
After entering the cave, Mingda couldn't help but say, "It's a great place to escape the heat in the summer."
Bai Erlang was already carrying a wooden bucket and excitedly heading towards the dripping pool. He saw that there were stones at the bottom of the pool, stones all around it, and stones above it. There was a stone bar hanging down, and water was dripping down from it.
Bai Erlang looked at him in amazement. "Just these dripping drops of water can store so much water. You've been using it for so long and it still hasn't run out?"
"Look," Bai Shan pointed to a few cracks in the rocks beside the pool, which extended down into the pool. "Water is seeping out of these cracks. At first, we thought the water in the pool wasn't overflowing because it was leaking through these cracks. Later, as we pumped more water, the water in the pool went down a bit, and we realized that water was seeping out of these cracks. But we don't know where it's seeping from, and we can't find out yet."
The pond was not big, but not small either, and it was deep. Bai Shan once walked into it barefoot out of curiosity, but he only took three steps. Finally, he used a wooden stick to probe and found that the pond was more than one person deep.
So Bai Shan threatened Bai Erlang, "You'd better be careful when you hit the water. If you fall in, you will die."
Bai Erlang snorted in dissatisfaction and said, "It's not like I can't swim."
Bai Shan gestured for him to touch the water. Bai Erlang reached out and touched it, then happily drew up the water. "It's refreshing and cool. This water is really good. Mingda is right. It must be great to come here to escape the heat in the summer."
Bai Shan and Zhou Man looked at him with concern. "The water is so cold, are you sure you can get out after falling in? And the stone wall is slippery, it will be difficult to get out."
Yin Huo coughed lightly and said, "Standing by the side to fetch water won't necessarily lead to falling. Don't scare him."
Mingda smiled and urged, "Hurry up and get some water."
Next, I will write about their experiences traveling around the world. Since they are not from the same person, it is difficult to determine whose extra story it is. I will just call it this for now.
