Chapter 24 Throwing Away the Beads
"Miss Bai, I am sorry for being so nosy. What happened?"
Bai Qinghuan's eyes turned red again, and he spoke in a murmur, like a bullied little animal, which was very lovable.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Master Xishun. It's nothing serious, it's just..."
She hesitated for a moment, biting her lower lip with her white teeth until her lips turned pale and bloodless, then she continued:
"But from now on, I can no longer deliver food to the prince. Father-in-law, please help me apologize to the prince."
"Your Majesty's kindness cannot be offset by the meals I've given you these past few days. I'll repay you when I have the chance in the future."
She handed the food box to Xishun, and then made a blessing gesture: "Qinghuan wishes His Majesty good health and success in everything."
Without entering the house or waiting for the Regent to finish eating, he turned and left.
The white fox fur drew a perfect arc in the air. It was a very graceful movement, but at this moment it seemed inexplicably resolute.
From the back, Xishun could tell that Miss Bai was wiping her tears.
What on earth happened?
He was anxious to go to the study to report, but when he glanced around, who was in front of the carriage?
Oh my god, why is she here? Why don’t you know it?
The prince is too hypocritical.
This is not the point. When he got to the study, he shouted:
"My Lord, something big has happened."
The Regent had already seen the food box in his hand: "Let's talk after dinner."
"Your Majesty?"
I arranged the dishes absentmindedly. I don't have the heart to pay attention to these things now. The focus is Miss Bai, Your Majesty!
It's true that the prince is not anxious, but the eunuchs are dying of anxiety.
The Regent picked up a piece of mapo tofu with chopsticks.
"cough..."
Almost died from the spicy food.
The blanched vegetables are so salty.
I tried all three dishes, and they were either too salty or too spicy.
Even the bowl of meatball and carrot soup was so sour that it made your teeth ache.
All in all, hard to swallow.
Was she teasing him on purpose?
The Regent's eyes were somewhat cold.
"Send someone to tell her that she won't be needed to deliver food from now on."
"My Lord, Miss Bai said the same thing."
The Regent didn't know what he felt, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
It's only been a few days, and you can't hold on any longer?
"How many years has she been chasing after the Third Prince?"
Xishun didn't know why the prince asked this question: "Maybe maybe two years?"
How could he, the chief steward of the Regent's Palace, pay attention to these things?
These days, he started to pay attention to what the prince had guessed was interesting to Miss Bai, but he really didn't know anything about what happened in the past.
Is the prince going to bring up old issues?
Poor white girl~
The beads in the Regent's hand turned faster, showing that he was in a restless state.
“Pah…”
She waved and threw the beads Bai Qinghuan had given her far away, then replaced them with the one she had worn before.
Xishun was frightened by what he saw. He thought the prince must have misunderstood Miss Bai.
Before he could explain, he heard the prince's voice, which was even colder than before:
"What's the big deal you just mentioned?"
"Your Majesty, Miss Bai asked me to tell you that I may not be able to bring you food in the future. I will repay your kindness when I have the chance."
"Also, Miss Bai wishes His Majesty good health and success in everything."
"Well, I've sent you ten days' worth of food, so I'm done for your kindness."
"And throw away the beads."
Xishun picked it up and held it in his hand without throwing it away. He was very anxious.
"Your Highness, this is not the point. The point is that Miss Bai has slap marks on her face and she cried."
"She certainly didn't mean to not want to send food to the prince."
After saying this, he carefully looked at his master's face, and sure enough, he saw that the prince's expression, which had been calm just now, had become much uglier.
He pretended not to see it and said, "Your Highness, do you think that the Prime Minister knew about Miss Bai sending you food and she got beaten?"
"It's possible that she was bullied by the Third Prince's concubine. The Prime Minister favors his concubine over his wife. This is something many people know, and Miss Bai is not well-liked either."
"Ah, how pitiful! Such a delicate and beautiful face was beaten so red and swollen. I feel so sad when I see it. Who is so cruel?"
Shu Feng just stepped into the study room and asked, "Who is so cruel?"
Xishun stood in front of Shufeng and told him what had happened.
Shu Feng asked, "Your Majesty, would you like me to find out what happened?"
The Regent did not comment, but Xishun remembered it.
"Shufeng, why is Erya next to Miss Bai?"
"Forehead..."
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Didn't Miss Bai say before that she wanted to buy a girl who knows martial arts? I took the initiative to send Erya over."
Shu Feng's skin tensed up. Could it be that the prince didn't want to know the news about Miss Bai?
He just thought that there was no way to get better information about Miss Bai than to put someone next to her. What did the prince mean?
After a moment, the Regent still didn't say anything. Shu Feng thought to himself that since the prince didn't refuse, it meant he agreed.
"I will go find Erya to get the information and make amends for my crime."
Without waiting for the Regent to speak, he ran away.
Xishun was about to leave when the regent glanced at him and said, "Leave the beads behind."
"yes."
Xishun held it and placed it on the table.
The Regent said disdainfully: "Wash it clean and wrap it in a silk handkerchief."
Xishun is autistic, the servant's hands are not dirty.
But I still obeyed the order and went.
Washing the beads is very simple. The dust on them is washed away, and after being carefully dried, they are placed on a brocade handkerchief and sent in.
The Regent was about to take it when he discovered a small crack on one of the beads, which completely ruined the beauty of the bead.
"Did you ruin the wash?"
Xishun shivered and almost dropped the beads on the ground.
"It's unfair, it was you who just..."
The Regent also remembered that he had just thrown it away.
"Put it down."
He stared at the beads for a long time without coming back to his senses. He couldn't tell whether he felt regretful or something else, but he felt a little restless.
Xishun chuckled and then stepped back.
I kept saying to myself: Shufeng, you must come back soon.
Prime Minister's Mansion
Bai Qinghuan admired the glass cup sent by the jewelry shop in the candlelight. It was slightly larger than an ordinary tea cup.
"Biyun, go find some fine sand, waterweed seeds, and a few beautiful anchovies. The smaller the better."
"Girl, do you want to use this glass cup to grow grass or raise fish?"
Isn’t this such a waste?
Does the girl want to raise fish or grow grass?
Colored glass is rare, and pearls of all sizes are extremely rare, and are generally used to decorate jewelry and head ornaments.
But she didn't dare say it and went to look for it in the greenhouse.
Although it is winter, there will be seeds left in the greenhouse.
The girl was in a bad mood, so she found these things, and maybe she would be happier.
After getting the water grass seeds, Bai Qinghuan first spread a thick layer of fine sand on the bottom of the glass cup, then sprinkled the seeds finely and poured water on it.
Place it not far from the charcoal fire so that there is enough temperature for the seeds to germinate within a few days.
She wanted to make a small fish tank, the kind that was common in office decorations in her previous life.
The almost transparent glass cup, the green water plants, and an anchovy swimming leisurely must look very pretty.
It’s just that the technology for making colored glass in ancient times was not very good, and the transparency was not enough.
But you can still see the fish from outside.
Colorful tropical fish would be more beautiful, but unfortunately there are no tropical fish here.
If the Regent steps in to take care of this matter, then this glass fish tank will be given to him as a thank-you gift. If he doesn't, then give it to Mo Xuan to play with.
Lying on the bed, she was thinking about what she should do next if the Regent did not accept the challenge?
Enter the palace to win favor and become a favorite concubine?
