The prince's personal bodyguard

Chapter 50: Banquet at the Prime Minister's Residence (1)

Bai Xinyin is always punctual in doing things. At 9 o'clock, he was already waiting by the carriage at the gate.

Soon, a group of people came out of the palace. The sun had already risen, and a group of maids and servants came slowly, and the leader was shining brightly in the sun.

It turned out to be the princess. She was wearing a black and gold tube top, a peony, red phoenix and morning sun shawl, and a golden butterfly-patterned satin skirt. Her whole outfit was so elegant and luxurious.

There was a sparkling golden phoenix hairpin in her hair, two pairs of hollow gold spherical earrings that shone brightly, a gold and jade necklace around her neck, two pairs of gold bracelets on each wrist, and gold rings on all her ten fingers except the two index fingers. She wore a jade ring on each thumb, and looked like an Oscar statuette.

Bai Xinyin was a little "obsessed". The princess' taste and hobbies were really different! Is this a walking gold shop? Bai Xinyin really wanted to see if the princess had a mouthful of gold teeth?

The golden aura is overwhelming!

Bai Xinyin was dazzled by what she saw and hurried forward to greet the princess. The princess waved her hand to signal her to stand up and asked, "Do you think my outfit looks good?"

"It's beautiful. The princess is really radiant!" Bai Xinyin felt that she was telling the truth.

The princess was very satisfied. At this time, the old prince came over and saw the princess's outfit: "Alan, this outfit is really beautiful. She must be the most dazzling one at the banquet. No one can compare to her."

The princess was immediately delighted when she was praised: "Brother Yun has excellent vision, and A Lan has always trusted you!" After saying this, she smiled and showed a girlish tenderness to the old prince.

Is it true that a lover sees beauty in everything? Bai Xinyin shook her head: How did the two of them give birth to a son like Mu Yunxiao who looked like a banished immortal?

The old prince helped the princess onto the carriage, and then he rode on the horse himself. Prince Rong's mansion was not far from Prime Minister Lin's mansion, both were very close to the imperial palace, and were the most prosperous areas of the capital.

Bai Xinyin thought that since he was just a small guard at this moment, he could just run there, and he took just two steps.

"Ah Si, come here!" She heard someone calling her, and turned around to see the princess opening the carriage door and looking at her, "Don't you have a carriage ready? Come sit here with me."

Bai Xiyin was hesitating.

"Hurry up!"

"Oh, okay!" Bai Xinyin agreed and got back into the carriage.

As soon as she sat down, the princess grabbed Bai Xinyin's hand and said, "You see, I've been busy attending banquets in various mansions these days and have neglected you." After that, she took off a push-pull gold dragon and phoenix bracelet from her hand, put it on Bai Xinyin's wrist and adjusted the size, and then took off a gold ring from her little finger and put it on Bai Xinyin's middle finger.

"Look, it's just right." Dai Hao looked at Bai Xinyin's slender jade fingers, "Young people's small hands, white, tender and slender, are good, so beautiful!"

The middle finger represents that the beauty has a boyfriend, and you really know how to wear it.

Bai Xinyin felt it was a bit sudden and didn't know what to say.

"Before I came here, there were rumors that Ah Xiao favored a young guard. I thought, never mind if it's a man or a woman, he at least has someone he loves, I can accept that."

Bai Xinyin opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"You must be surprised when I think this, right?" Bai Xinyin nodded. "You will find out slowly. You don't know how much he has suffered since he was a child. He is so outstanding, so he should do anything. He always does things in moderation. If he likes men, he must have a reason for liking them!"

Bai Xinyin's mouth opened even wider. A mother who trusted her son so unconditionally? This was the first time she had ever seen one in her life.

"But when I saw you and knew you were a girl, I was even happier." The princess smiled when she said this.

"It's just that you don't have your ears pierced. No matter how you dress up, you won't look good without earrings. One day when you can wear women's clothes again, your mother will pierce your ears and give you a pair of beautiful gold earrings."

Is this the mother? Bai Xinyin said she was a little embarrassed. Didn't she have that yet? Bai Xinyin felt that the princess was too fast in her pace and she couldn't keep up.

"I've been observing you secretly these past few days. Your personality and temper are similar to A-Xiao's, and you also have a lot of great abilities. I like you so much! It's true that good food is never too late, and good fortune is never too late! Hahaha..."

There is such a thing? Bai Xinyin felt that she was always in a passive position when she met people from Prince Rong's Mansion.

Bai Xinyin was digesting what the princess had just said. While she was thinking, a maid asked, "We've arrived at the Prime Minister's residence. Please get off the car, princess!"

There are two big lions at the gate of the prime minister's residence, painted with vermilion, which looks very majestic.

Once you enter the gate, you can see high walls, large courtyards, brick carvings and stone carvings everywhere. Each one is extremely exquisite. The three courtyards and the progressive landscape design make the entire Prime Minister's Mansion magnificent, noble and elegant.

Lin Feiyang, the eldest son of the Xiangfu, stood at the door to greet the guests. He was dressed in white and silk shoes, and stood tall and graceful. His long hair was as thick as ink and fell to his waist. His handsome face was filled with a humble and gentle smile, and his every move was that of a gentleman with integrity and elegance.

Seeing the prince and princess coming, he hurried forward to salute, and seeing Bai Xinyin behind him, he saluted again: "My lord, thank you." Bai Xinyin nodded.

The elegantly dressed wife of the Prime Minister personally went to the door to greet the princess. The host and the guest greeted each other, and the maids and servants gathered around and walked in.

Strolling through a moon gate, although the entrance is small, there is a different world inside. The winding paths in the garden make it impossible to see the infinite scenery in the garden at a glance. Through the settings of gates, pavilions, corridors, gardens and courtyards, garden sketches, mountains, rocks and flowing water and other landscapes are hidden in them.

In an open space, surrounded by flowers and with many maids and servants walking around, the banquet must have been held here.

In several pavilions and corridors, there were groups of early arriving guests, talking in low voices.

The wife of the prime minister led the princess to sit in a very large pavilion. The pavilion was surrounded by gauze curtains, through which one could vaguely see outside.

Bai Xiyin had nowhere to go, so she followed the princess. At this time, all the young ladies came to greet her. The eldest young lady was already the current prince's concubine, and the second and third young ladies were still waiting to be married.

The three sisters came to meet their aunt.

The three young ladies were all beautiful, especially the third young lady, Lin Wan'er. Bai Xinyin secretly looked at this one of the four beauties in Kyoto.

A pair of big, bright eyes, like two clear jades, radiating tenderness. Black hair like clouds, smooth as silk, pouring down. White skin as white as snow, curvy figure, graceful posture, wearing a purple cross-collar skirt, covered with a light purple gauze dress, simple and generous headdress, gorgeous yet elegant, which makes her beauty stand out even more. She is really stunning!

As she was looking at the other person, the other person also looked at her, his eyes full of amazement.

"Aunt hasn't been back to Kyoto for a long time. These girls have become more beautiful. Aunt doesn't have many expensive gifts. Today, I will give each of you a ring. I will wear it with you."

After saying that, he took off two gold rings on his hands, put one on the eldest lady's ring finger and one on the second lady's index finger, and then took off a jade ring and put it on Lin Wan'er's thumb.

Wearing a ring on the thumb indicates status and power. Is there any difference between legitimate and illegitimate children? Bai Xinyin wondered.

"Is this the young guard who knows medicine and is standing beside Brother Yunxiao?" Lin Wan'er asked enthusiastically, looking at Bai Xinyin, who was dressed as a guard behind the princess.

"Wan'er, this is the Marquis of Dongcheng, the marquis of ten thousand households personally conferred by His Majesty. You should pay him a visit." The princess reminded in a deep voice.

"Oh, it was Wan'er who overstepped her bounds. I apologize to the Marquis." After saying that, she bowed deeply and Bai Xinyin smiled without answering.

"The Marquis was wearing a guard's uniform, Wan'er misunderstood and was careless." Lin Wan'er added. She could have just apologized, but she still blamed others.

Wearing guard uniforms is simple and convenient. Bai Xinyin was in the palace and didn't think about it. Although the Wanhu Hou was an idle position and not as powerful as the prime minister, his status was not lower than that of the prime minister. In ancient times, people had to be granted the title of marquis before they could be prime ministers. Wan'er called herself a little guard in public, and she didn't take herself seriously at all.

Isn't he well-versed in astronomy and geography? Thinking about the rumors, it seems that he is also a love-brained person.

"Even if Lord Lin is wearing beggar's clothes, he is still Lord Lin. Does the Third Miss of the Lord's Mansion know people by their clothes?" Bai Xinyin sneered. If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm a sick cat?
