Chapter 691: Suspected to be an old friend
Lu Chaochao raised his head, his eyes were clear and bright, without any distractions, clean and untainted by dust.
"I ate a few more bites of sticky rice and chicken for dinner, and my stomach feels uncomfortable."
"Besides, we can have a feast after getting married, why should I be angry?" She was just curious that there was someone who looked like her.
Heavenly Way...
"Forget it, you're a piece of wood."
Why should I bother with wood?
She didn't get it at all...
The young man sighed, helplessly sat in front of the bed and rubbed her belly: "Go to sleep, I'll rub it for you." Lu Chaochao said "oh" and fell asleep.
The young man was left alone, sitting in front of the bed sulking.
By dawn, the young man had already left. Lu Chaochao yawned and got up, and Yu Shu and Yu Qin helped her wash and dress.
"The young master is so handsome... I have never seen a child more handsome than you." Yu Shu couldn't help but exclaim.
Lu Chaochao looked at herself in the bronze mirror and could vaguely see some of her past appearance. She just looks a little childish and still has some baby fat on her face, but it's not obvious yet.
At most, he is a young version of the devil.
After packing up and having a few bites of breakfast, the carriage had already stopped at the door of the inn.
The eunuch bent his waist slightly and lowered his head: "Princess, please come into the palace."
The carriage creaked all the way towards the palace, and after entering the palace, it was changed into a sedan chair. Sure enough, the mourning clothes and all mourning items had been removed from the palace.
The palace servants came and went in a hurry, and seemed to be busy preparing something.
"What are they building over there?" Lu Chaochao looked into the distance. It seemed that something was being built, and it was taller than any other place in the imperial palace.
The eunuch smiled and said, "It's the Zhaixing Tower."
"It is the residence of the future Empress. His Majesty personally named it Zhaixing and began to build it the day he brought the girl back to the palace." Zhaixing, Zhaixing...
When they arrived in front of the hall, the eunuch greeted Lu Chaochao as he entered the hall.
Xuan Jichuan was lowering his head to select items for his wedding, and the Imperial Observatory's face was full of joy, no longer like the sad look he had before.
"Give it to Lotus to see." Xuan Jichuan waved his hand, and everyone retreated.
"Chao Chao, come in quickly! He Hua will be here soon..." Xuan Jichuan saw Lu Chao Chao and quickly put down what he was doing and came to greet her.
"Lotus? Is her name Lotus?" Lu Chaochao asked, tilting his head.
Xuan Jichuan smiled as he mentioned her eyebrows: "Well, Hehua is an abandoned child. Her foster mother was washing clothes in the lotus pond and heard the baby crying. She pushed aside the lotus leaves in the pond and found that she was lying on a huge lotus leaf, so she named her Hehua."
"Her last name is Bai."
White Lotus... Lu Chaochao's eyelids twitched.
As he was speaking, the eunuch outside the door announced that Miss Bai had arrived.
Before entering the door, Lu Chaochao smelled the familiar lotus fragrance in the air.
Miss Bai has a graceful figure, standing tall and graceful, just like a blooming lotus. She had a white jade lotus hairpin on her hair. As soon as she entered the room, her eyes fell directly on Xuan Jichuan.
Then a smile appeared in his eyes and his brows curved.
Just as she was about to salute, Xuan Jichuan stepped forward and helped her up.
"There's no outsider here, so no need to be polite." Xuan Jichuan said in a soft voice and helped the girl up.
Lu Chaochao stared at her face steadily. Bai Hehua was about 60% similar to her original self.
But if you are familiar with it, you can tell the difference at a glance.
They look about the same, but inside, they are two completely different people.
Lu Chaochao walked stiffly, like a sword, a sharp blade that could be unsheathed at any time.
Miss Bai is as delicate as a willow swaying in the wind, just like a lotus blooming in the water, swaying gracefully.
Bai Hehua's cheeks turned slightly red, and she looked shy when she looked at him.
When she lowered her head, she saw Chao Chao looking at her curiously.
When Bai Hehua saw Chao Chao, she was stunned for a moment and her eyes paused.
It seems that there is some hesitation.
"This is Chao Chao, the one I told you about. My best friend, and also... my family."
"Although Chaochao and I are more than ten years apart in age, we have a very good relationship. You should treat her as my own sister."
"Don't underestimate her because she is only six and a half years old. When she was three years old, she ascended the throne and became the Queen of the Southern Kingdom."
"She is also very good at swordsmanship."
Bai Hehua's face turned pale and she clutched Xuan Jichuan's sleeve tightly: "Miss Chaochao, what's your last name?" She pretended to be calm.
"My surname is Lu. My name is Lu Chaochao."
"She also has a sword called Chaoyang Sword, right? It's as heavy as a thousand pounds, but she can lift it with ease. When Xiyue presented this sword, she originally wanted to show off to Beizhao. But she didn't expect it to be pulled out by Chaochao, who was only one or two years old, and in the end she lost both her wife and her army." Xuan Jichuan touched Chaochao's head with a smile.
Suddenly, Bai Hehua's body swayed and she almost fell to the ground.
"Hehua, what's wrong with you? Imperial physician! Call the imperial physician quickly!" Seeing that she almost fell to the ground, Xuan Jichuan hurriedly held her in his arms.
The imperial physician hurried into the palace, and Bai Hehua kept waving her hands: "Hehua is fine, I just felt a little dizzy."
But Xuan Jichuan saw that her face was pale, so he was not at ease.
After seeing the imperial physician personally treating him, he still did not dare to let the patient leave and asked the imperial physician to stay in the palace.
Bai Hehua lowered her head slightly, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Chao Chao's gaze.
"I...I want to live outside the palace. Is that okay? When we get married, you can bring me into the palace." She whispered.
"Everything is up to you. How about bringing your adoptive parents into the city? I'll give them a few houses outside the palace gate so they can come to the palace to see you anytime."
"They adopted you and gave you life. I should treat them as my parents and be filial to them." Xuan Jichuan was rarely gentle.
A smile appeared in Bai Hehua's eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Just call me Jichuan."
Lu Chaochao's cheeks felt sore when she heard this. The men and women in love exuded a sour and smelly smell all over their bodies.
Bai Hehua clenched her fists lightly: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed Sister Chaochao just now. It's probably because you were too tired from treating hysteria. Just take a rest. It's not a big deal."
Lu Chaochao shook his head: "You should take good care of yourself."
"Miss Bai's floral scent is so nice." Lu Chaochao sniffed a few times, and Bai Hehua was so scared that her face turned pale.
"Maybe it's because my foster mother's home is near a lotus pond and I grew up in it, picking flowers and lotus seeds, catching fish and digging lotus roots. Over time, I've been infected by the scent of flowers." Miss Bai lowered her head slightly, and if you looked closely, you could still see her fluttering eyelashes.
"Jichuan, just go and get busy."
"You don't have to accompany me deliberately."
"The wedding is approaching, the plague has just been eradicated, the natural disaster has just passed, and you still have government affairs to attend to. I will sit with...Sister Chaochao for a while. You can go and do your work, and don't worry about us. Sister Chaochao and I hit it off right away, and I happened to ask you about your affairs in Beizhao." Bai Hehua looked at him tenderly, and the heartache in her eyes did not seem fake.
Although Xuan Jichuan didn't want to leave at all, he had to agree as the important matters of the court could not be handled without him.
"Ask the imperial kitchen to send some snacks that the girls like."
"Yes." The eunuch stepped out.
When the hall was empty, Miss Bai looked around and then stood up with her lips tightly pursed.
He took a few steps back and slowly knelt in front of Lu Chaochao.
"Lotus pays respect to the Sword Master..."
