My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

Tang Xianxian and Ji Yanran stood side by side in the room.

They just watched Dongfang Changying disappear in the heavy rain with an oil-paper umbrella.

After ten full breaths, the two looked at each other, with different meanings in their eyes.

"Your Highness... She, she's being unreasonable!"

"Although she went to kill Shangshan in order to avenge Master Bai and eliminate the hidden danger, but since she entrusted Master Bai's safety in the capital to you... then as long as Master Bai is safe, Your Highness should also get the reward he deserves!"

"What's her problem?"

Tang Xianxian pursed her lips, smiled bitterly, turned around and walked to the tea table, and sat down slowly, "She, Dongfang Changying, is an unreasonable woman."

She picked up the Stone Records on the table, touched the cover, and said:

"She knows my feelings for Shaoqiu..."

"Do I have a choice?"

"I don't!"

"I can't just watch Shaoqiu die in Kyoto, so... whether she comes or not, whether she says these words or not, I have to do something."

"In fact, the real reason why she came here is only one sentence."

Tang Xianxian suddenly smiled, and the two dimples on her cheeks bloomed like flowers.

“She’s worried!”

"After all, I knew Shao Qiu earlier than she did, and my appearance is not inferior to hers... Although she is a martial arts expert, she has a strong temper. Although I don't know martial arts, I am gentle!"

"Shaoqiu is a scholar, and Dongfang Changying is a warrior!"

"So, she originally said she wouldn't come to Kyoto. When we were in Xiling City, we agreed that I would go to help Shaoqiu when he came to Kyoto, but she still came!"

“I can’t wait to come!”

"This shows that she is guilty!"

The Ninth Princess looked up at Ji Yanran, who was already dumbfounded, and said proudly, "I will stay by Shaoqiu's side!"

"I will help Shaoqiu persuade the emperor to retract the imperial edict!"

"Hehe, she's so clever that she uses the pseudonym Lanlan to get along with Shaoqiu. Shaoqiu still doesn't know that she is Dongfang Changying!"

"If the emperor rescinds the imperial decree, Shaoqiu will be free. He and Dongfang Changying are not actually married... He said he likes his freedom and doesn't want to be my consort."

"I'll go find my aunt right away!"

"I'm going to snatch Bai Shaoqiu from her!"

The Ninth Princess stood up and said excitedly, "I don't want this princess status. I want to wander around the world with Shaoqiu...so what?"

Ji Yanran was already stunned!

She never expected that there would be so much drama between these two women who fell in love with Bai Shaoqiu at the same time!

This looks...

Dongfang Changying was retreating to advance, intending to use the Ninth Princess, to declare her sovereignty over Bai Shaoqiu, and to threaten the Ninth Princess.

The Ninth Princess is taking advantage of the situation!

She wanted to persuade the emperor to withdraw the imperial decree and cancel the marriage. She wanted to take advantage of the situation and entangle Bai Shaoqiu with her tenderness...

Is that guy worthy of a county lady and a princess doing this for him?

"and many more!"

The Ninth Princess turned around and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until the rain stops."

“…I can’t wait.”

"Your Highness, isn't it a bit rash to rush to see Her Highness the Princess in such a hurry?"

"What I mean is...some decisions are best made with some calmness and reflection. Also...Her Royal Highness the Princess is currently worshipping Buddha. This isn't a good time to visit her."

Tang Xianxian was stunned, pondered for a moment, turned around and sat back at the tea table.

"If you want to say it, I have thought about it a long time ago, but it is not appropriate to go to see my aunt at this time. I will go in the evening."

Ji Yanran also sat across from Tang Xianxian, "Can I take a look at this book?"

"Well, look, I'm thinking of something."

Ji Yanran picked up the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" and never put it down.

……

……

Xiling City.

The rainstorm stopped at the end of the day.

After the summer rain stopped, the sky was clear and blue. The sun was still scorching, baking the wet earth, and there was a smell of soil in the air.

The cicadas in the trees along the street started chirping again.

Bai Shaoqiu chatted with Lao Yu under the eaves of the small house at the gate of the palace until the end of the afternoon before leaving.

When he left, there was a jade pendant around his neck.

My mood did not get any lighter because of this jade pendant, it was still a little heavy.

Although Lao Yu swore that both umbrellas were reliable.

solid!

Easy to use!

Can shelter from wind and rain!

But Lao Yu didn't tell Bai Shaoqiu the doubts in his heart.

Old General Fu is a general of the first rank!

Even if his son and his father are close friends, his father is just a businessman!

Why?

This is the question Bai Shaoqiu asks Lao Yu the most.

Lao Yu said... based on loyalty.

How the hell is this reliable?

The second umbrella that Lao Yu mentioned belongs to the famous and mysterious Princess!

This time he doesn't need to produce the jade pendant. Lao Yu said that after you meet the princess, she will definitely help you.

Why?

Lao Yu said... follow your conscience!

I'm going!

What's this?

In Bai Shaoqiu's opinion, neither of these two umbrellas was reliable.

So, he did not return to Baicao Garden immediately, but went to the Princess's Mansion!

He got off the carriage in front of the Princess's Mansion and asked Dongfang Meng and He Xiaofeng to wait for him at the door. He hurried to the blacksmith shop.

Originally, the blacksmith shop was to be moved to Baicao Garden, but it was delayed due to being too busy these days.

The servant Wang Sanchui did not slack off just because the young master left.

He has been working on iron these days!

A lot of tempered steel was produced!

Bai Shaoqiu stepped into the blacksmith shop, and Wang Sanchui turned around and grinned:

"Master is back?"

"Well, come here. I'll give you ten days. I want these things..."

Bai Shaoqiu took out a charcoal pencil and started drawing on the paper.

While drawing, he explained to Wang Sanchui.

After seeing the bow invented by the young master, Wang Sanchui had great trust in Bai Shaoqiu.

He listened very carefully and offered his own opinions from time to time.

The master and servant leaned head to head, seemingly oblivious to the stuffiness in the blacksmith shop, and neither seemed to care about the sweat dripping from their foreheads.

This guy, Bai Shaoqiu stayed in the blacksmith shop until evening.

After finishing the last picture, he handed the stack of papers to Wang Sanchui, patted Wang Sanchui's strong muscles, and said earnestly:

"You have to hand these items over to me within half a month."

He took out a few banknotes from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Wang Sanchui, "Keep them. Young Master, I'm going to Kyoto in a few days. I don't know when I will be back... I don't know if I can come back at all."

"After you have prepared these things, take your wife and son to Baicao Garden."

"I'll explain to Uncle Fu."

"From now on, your whole family will live in Baicao Garden and help out at the bookstore. Your son will continue his studies... to study under Master Si!"

"I am leaving,"

Bai Shaoqiu patted Wang Sanchui's shoulder and said, "Remember these things. Without my order, I won't give them to anyone who asks for them!"

Wang Sanchui held the banknotes and looked at Bai Shaoqiu, feeling extremely nervous.

He felt that the young master seemed to be making arrangements for his funeral arrangements.

He didn't even think about how happy it was that his son was studying under Master Si!

He still looked at Bai Shaoqiu and asked in a low voice:

"Master, is it okay not to go to Kyoto?"
