Chapter 35 Do You Want to Be My Aunt?
Bai Qinghuan watched nervously and even forgot to chew, fearing that he would take it.
If he accepts it, wouldn't I have even less hope?
Yun Yuyan's reputation in Beijing is much better than hers. According to the current situation, she does not have any advantage.
Then he quickly peeled a few chestnuts, but didn't eat them. He just held them in his hand.
Everyone else also forgot about eating and stared at the Regent, wondering how the Regent would react.
The Regent was notoriously averse to women, and any woman who approached him would be thrown away.
I can only say a few words to Yun Yuyan.
They all thought that Yun Yuyan was the definite regent princess.
But was it intentional or unintentional that the Regent sat next to Bai Qinghuan today?
Bai Qinghuan is the second woman who is close to the Regent.
The Regent ignored the chestnut in front of him, put down his teacup and stood up: "You guys play, Shufeng, let's go."
When he stood up, his wide sleeves slightly passed Bai Qinghuan's knees.
Bai Qinghuan took the opportunity to reach in and stuffed a few chestnut kernels into the Regent's palm, scratching it as well.
The Regent shrank his fingers slightly and suddenly turned his head to look at her.
Bai Qinghuan was not afraid at all. She even smiled mischievously at him from an angle where no one else noticed.
The Regent clenched his hands, pretended nothing had happened, mounted his horse and rode away.
Chen Kuan watched eagerly, imagining that he could follow along.
He sat back down reluctantly after he could no longer see anyone, feeling distraught.
Add to that the loss of Chi Songtao next to him, the two brothers are in a dilemma.
Princess Changle was very happy: "Little uncle, take care."
It's so rare for Yun Yuyan to be humiliated, she can't take it anymore, she wants to laugh secretly behind closed doors, hahahaha...
Only Yun Yuyan was left with an embarrassed look on her face. Even if Chen Qingrui wanted to say something to comfort her, she didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Princess Changle didn't want to sit here any more: "Everyone, go away. Those who want to go back to Beijing can go back to Beijing. Those who don't want to go back to Beijing can go find a place to have fun. This princess will not entertain you."
Yun Yuyan was so embarrassed that she had to leave in disgrace. She decided to wait for the Regent on the official road.
It must be because there were so many people around today that he was so rude to her.
The others went out to play on their own.
Bai Qinghuan returned to the room and asked curiously, "What's the matter between the princess and Yun Yuyan?"
"Well, there's nothing serious. It's just that the Yun family is very strange."
"How strange is that?"
"The Imperial Grandmother is so kind to the Yun family. You know that Concubine Yun has absolute power in the harem, and it is the Imperial Grandmother who supports her behind the scenes."
"What about the Queen? Isn't she the Queen Mother's niece?"
"The Queen worships Buddha, has no children, and doesn't ask about the affairs of the harem. She lives her life behind closed doors."
"My uncle didn't choose Concubine Yun at the beginning. It was the Imperial Grandmother who took her into the harem despite everyone's opposition. If it weren't for my uncle's insistence, the position of Empress would have been hers."
"She even forced her uncle to favor Concubine Yun, which resulted in the birth of the third prince."
Bai Qinghuan found it strange, very strange. How could he not be close to his own niece but instead help outsiders?
If the Queen could give birth to a legitimate son, wouldn't the Queen Mother's family be able to prosper for at least a few more decades?
"What about Yun Yuyan?"
"The Royal Grandmother believed from the bottom of her heart that Yun Yuyan was the Regent Princess, and she often brought them together."
Bai Qinghuan was so nervous: "Does the Regent agree?"
"My uncle has not relented yet, but she is indeed the only one who can get close to him in these years."
"Does the Queen Mother want all the girls from the Yun family to marry into the royal family?"
It is rare among the common people for two sisters to marry two brothers.
"So this is the weird part. Even though my grandmother dotes on me, she will definitely get angry if I say anything bad about the Yun family."
"Sometimes I suspect that the Yun family is the royal grandmother's relative."
Bai Qinghuan didn't know what to say. The Yun family was indeed weird.
She was excluded by the Queen Mother before she even succeeded.
It will be very difficult for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along in the future.
"well..."
Princess Changle was surprised: "Why are you sighing?"
The Yun family has nothing to do with her, so she should be the one worrying about it.
Of course Bai Qinghuan couldn't tell the truth, so he sighed again:
"Alas... I wonder who will pick this high-ranking flower, the Regent."
"Anyone is fine, just don't be a member of the Yun family."
She disliked the Yun family extremely.
Her eyes rolled around and stared at Bai Qinghuan's face.
"Qing Huan, do you also think that my uncle is handsome and extraordinary, with a heavenly appearance?"
"That's definitely the case. Your Highness is so handsome and has such great stature. He is definitely the most handsome man in Dongxi."
"Then are you interested in being my princess's aunt?"
Bai Qinghuan was so frightened by her words that she broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that her little thoughts had been discovered.
"What?"
"You really don't want to? Yun Yuyan will be pissed off by then. What do you think? Are you tempted?"
"Princess, my engagement was broken off by the royal family."
"So what? If my uncle cared about these things, he wouldn't have stayed away from women all these years."
"In my opinion, your face is much better than Yun Yuyan's. You definitely have a chance."
"I'm optimistic about you guys~"
"Princess, stop joking."
Princess Changle grabbed her hand and wouldn't let her go.
"Really, really, I will help you."
If her uncle still remained indifferent to Bai Qinghuan's face, then she would really suspect that he was gay or was no longer capable.
Bai Qinghuan was very happy in her heart. She knew what it meant to be reluctant but willing. This was exactly what she was like now.
I was obviously very happy in my heart, but I still had to refuse.
Princess Changle was thinking about how to bring the two of them together, and her eyes were rolling around.
He would laugh secretly from time to time, like a little fox stealing some fish.
After laughing enough, he said:
"Shall we go up the mountain again in the afternoon? We should be back to Beijing tomorrow."
"Then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you, sir."
"Let's go pick the bicolor plums."
......
After the Regent arrived at the camp outside the capital, he inspected the area and then went into his tent, even driving Shu Feng out.
Then he opened his hands and stared at the four chestnut kernels lying in his palms.
I wanted to give him chestnuts, but I didn't dare to give them openly.
Is he so shameful?
“Heh~”
If Bai Qinghuan knew that her few chestnut kernels not only failed to please the Regent, but also had a counterproductive effect, she would probably regret it to death.
The chestnuts had lost their flavor after being cooled, but the Regent still ate them one by one with a disgusted look on his face.
It was as if he wanted to chew the little woman into pieces and swallow her.
When he opened his mouth again, he found that the food was gone from his palm. He felt a little lost.
After the hour of Chou, he started his return journey. When he was halfway to the capital, he saw the guards from the Princess's Mansion.
"Oh..."
When the guard saw him, he felt like he had seen a savior and crawled to the side of the horse.
"Meet the Regent!"
The black horse the Regent was riding neighed in dissatisfaction.
"What's the panic?"
"Your Majesty, help me. In the afternoon, the princess and Miss Bai went to the mountain to pick plum blossoms, but Miss Bai slipped and fell off a cliff. She has not been found yet. I am about to go back to the capital to find help."
The regent's hands were so tight that they left white marks on the stiff horse. He immediately turned the horse's head and said, "Let's go to the mountain."
"Shufeng, go and transfer people."
