Glory all the way

Chapter 267
The weather in April gradually became warmer. When I got up early, Bai Yingluo held Du Xuan's arm, and the two of them took a walk in the yard for a while.

The sun is rising slowly, and the distant sky is dyed with a touch of brilliant gold. The warm morning light shines on the body, and the heart is also warm, just like the soft feeling when seeing a piece of warm and beautiful jade.

Bai Yingluo took a deep breath, looked back at Du Xuan and said, "After the Qingming Festival, Zhuangzi is busy, I don't know if the elder sister is busy or not."

"There are few idlers in the countryside in April, so there are only sericulture and field cultivation."

Du Xuan read a poem in response to the occasion, and Du Xuan smiled and said: "The elder sister looks delicate and soft, but her personality is the strongest. When I went to see her last time, my brother-in-law also said that the day before the delivery, the elder sister also sent those who were in charge of the Zhuangzi to the house. After beating by ear and face, everything has been arranged. Besides, there is still a big brother-in-law, so don't worry."

The two walked slowly to the backyard, where they saw vibrant flowers and green leaves. Even in the nursery, there were layers of green grass seedlings, which made people feel itchy.

"April is the end of the world, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom. Now, the peach forest under the small mountain temple is in full bloom. I really want to go and see..."

The only few peach and pear trees in the backyard, the snow-white and pink flowers have all withered, and the tender green leaves are blooming layer by layer, but they are not as gorgeous as the previous few days. Bai Yingluo looked up, and couldn't help thinking of The scene of meeting Du Xuan in Taolin in April of that year.

Looking back, Du Xuan also smiled, his eyes full of memories.

Bai Yingluo lowered her head in embarrassment.

"You like it. At that time, we will plant a peach grove in the backyard. Come to enjoy the peach blossoms in spring, and bring the children to play hide-and-seek in the peach grove in summer. When the peaches are ripe, we will pick some and send them to the Hou Mansion."

Speaking softly, Du Xuan held Bai Yingluo's hand and said, "Luo Niang, I never thought that I would have such happiness."

The bright rays of light shone wantonly on the earth, the vibrant vegetation and forests, and the husband and wife with warm smiles were all covered in the sunshine, and everything looked so peaceful.

Holding hands, Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo stopped and walked, until they saw that the peach branches had grown small fruits, thinking that Bai Yingluo was about to give birth to a child, the faces of the two were exactly the same expect.

Sitting on the stone beside the ridge to rest for a while, when he was about to get up and leave, a green-eared mischievous voice came from the courtyard wall in the distance: "People often say gods and couples, I didn't know what it meant before, Now I finally know."

Someone suddenly spoke beside her, and Bai Yingluo was taken aback. When she turned her head and saw Lu Er lying on the wall, shaking her head and praising her, Bai Yingluo suddenly laughed, "Come down soon? You are also from the Princess Mansion anyway. Hachiko, if people see this appearance, they might be laughed at."

Lu Er blinked at Bai Yingluo, "I'm not alone, I have someone to keep me company."

While speaking, Lu Er rode on the wall and jumped down, but there was someone around him who moved faster than him, and when he landed, Lu Er followed Hualiu impressively.

Embarrassed, Hualiu scratched his head in embarrassment.

The two often sneaked to Zhuangyuan's mansion to talk to Du Xuan and drink tea at night, but Hualiu felt a little uncomfortable coming over the wall in broad daylight, while Lu Er, on the other hand, was as calm as if he never tired of doing it.

Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo smiled at each other, and generously invited them into Yixin Garden.

"Sneaked in while the princess wasn't around?"

After pouring tea for the two of them, Du Xuan looked at Lu Er jokingly and asked.

Nodding his head proudly, Lu Er said with a grin: "I wanted to go through the main entrance, but I thought it would take a long circle and bring those annoying servants with me. I think it's better to go over the wall. But Hualiu said, this is inappropriate, so we moved the ladder and lay on top of the wall, waiting for someone to pass by in the backyard, and ask him to pass it on. passed on."

After some words, Lu Er took it for granted, Hualiu who was on the side wanted to bury his head in the tea bowl.

Couldn't help but laugh, Bai Yingluo pursed her lips and laughed, Liusu and Liuying behind her were holding back, but the slightly shrugged shoulders had already revealed the laughter in their hearts, and Xiangzhu, who was hiding behind Liuying, had already bent over laughing .

Lu Er poked her head to look, and when she saw clearly that it was Xiangzhu, she couldn't help but glared at her angrily.

She secretly sighed in her heart that he was a child after all, and Bai Yingluo felt more and more fond of him, and was afraid that Lu Er would arouse her desire to bring Xiangzhu back to the princess mansion, so she hurriedly ordered Liusu and the others to prepare snacks and fruits, and Xiangzhu also Knowing that the behavior just now was somewhat irregular, he followed the trend and left the house.

After a while of fuss, the maids all retreated, leaving Du Xuan alone to talk, and the room became quiet.

Hualiu looked at Du Xuan, then at Lu Er, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master Du, do you have a letter from Bai Yi?"

Du Xuan shook his head sadly, "I don't know where he has gone now, whether the poison on his body has been cured, hey..."

Seeing Du Xuan sighing, Bai Yingluo at the side also had a look of concern on her face, Lu Er persuaded with disapproval, "Don't worry, he is capable, he might be happy somewhere now. "

"I hope so."

Du Xuan's expression softened slightly, he sighed and smiled.

Lu Er looked back at Hualiu, and suddenly felt a little sad, "I knew, I would have gone with him that day. The world is vast, and there is nothing more interesting than here. Although it is the same as when I was in Mobei, but I But I find it very boring here.”

Lu Er's words resonated with Hualiu.

He nodded and sighed, "Hey, why don't I want to?"

Seeing that the two of them missed the freedom of Mobei very much, Bai Yingluo's heart moved, and she asked with concern: "Since you like Mobei, why don't you persuade Princess Qingcheng to go back to Mobei together? In Mobei, it might be much more pleasant."

Hearing this, Lu Er became more and more sad, "We never persuaded her, but the princess has always said what she wants, and there is absolutely no room for change in what she decides. Unless..."

After a pause, Lu Er said in a low voice: "Unless Bai Yi is still there. The princess will still listen to Bai Yi's words. Others, not to mention us, even Chi Ji, are not capable of persuading the princess. "

For a moment, the room was quiet again.

To judge others by oneself, although the capital is the place where Princess Qingcheng grew up, Concubine Rou has passed away. Although Emperor Jiayuan took good care of Princess Qingcheng in every possible way, there is still the Queen Mother who is very displeased with her. Bai Yingluo felt that putting herself in her place, If she were Princess Qingcheng, she would rather go to Mobei, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, out of sight and out of mind, and good to each other.

Could it be that there was another story behind what happened back then, and Princess Qingcheng still wanted to complain about Concubine Rou?
Even so, with her current power, it is absolutely impossible to compete with the Queen Mother, not to mention that Emperor Jiayuan is biased against Princess Qingcheng, and the Queen Mother is his biological mother. It is absolutely impossible for Emperor Yuan to do anything against filial piety.

After thinking a lot in her mind, Bai Yingluo looked up at Lu Er and asked tentatively, "Could it be that Princess Qingcheng came to the capital for another purpose?"

Obviously, Hualiu and Luer didn't know about it either.

Confused and puzzled, Lu Er turned to look at Hualiu, Hualiu shook his head and said, "We were also very puzzled in private, after all, the princess made up her mind to come to the capital to recover Bai Yi. But Now that Bai Yi is no longer in the princess mansion, the princess has not moved for a long time. When we asked, the princess didn't want to say anything. After asking a few times, she said impatiently that she had her own consideration. So, we didn't Let’s bring it up again.”

Nodding her head, Bai Yingluo didn't say any more, but she still felt in her heart that she had overlooked something, but she couldn't remember it.

After staying for nearly an hour, Lu Er and Hua Liu left.

After sending the two of them away, they saw Bai Yingluo lying on the warm kang with a thoughtful expression on her face. Du Xuan said with a smile: "Whether she wants to stay in the capital or go back to Mobei is her own business. It's up to us to avoid her." That's fine, why are you bothering so much?"

Du Xuan knew that Bai Yingluo was still worried that one day when Princess Qingcheng saw her again, she would think of the former Bai Yi, and she couldn't let go of it and had plans for herself.

But for Bai Yingluo, after going through the past life, although everything is calm now, she is always worried in her heart, for fear of repeating the same mistakes.

Bai Yingluo cherishes everything she has now, so she doesn't want to lose even the slightest bit of happiness that she has, and the existence of Princess Qingcheng will undoubtedly threaten her happiness, so even if she doesn't have the strength to compete with Princess Qingcheng, as long as she If there is a chance to keep her away from the capital and from herself, then Bai Yingluo will do her best.

What Bai Yingluo thought in his heart, Du Xuan could only understand a little bit, and didn't want to make him worry, so Bai Yingluo didn't tell him so much, smiled, and the two cuddled together for a while.

The peaceful days went by day by day, and Bai Yingluo counted the number of days with her fingers. When the child would arrive, good news spread again from the palace.

On April [-]th, Lin Zhimei gave birth to a little prince.

After the crown princess, the crown prince's side concubine gave birth to a prince, which made the queen mother, Emperor Jiayuan and the queen all happy. The queen mother who didn't like Lin Zhimei so much at first is also happy now, instead of turning a blind eye in the past, Not only did he personally visit Lin Zhimei in the East Palace, he also received many rich gifts.

When she heard the news, Bai Yingluo was both happy and worried.

Before entering the palace, Lin Zhimei also told her that she hoped that this child would be a daughter, so that both she and the child would be able to enjoy a lot of peace and happiness in the past few years.

But now, he is actually a prince.

When he knew what Bai Yingluo was thinking, Du Xuan pinched Bai Yingluo's nose with a broken smile, "She just said that in front of you, which woman in the palace doesn't want to give birth to a prince, so she can sit back and relax chips? Only a fool like you would believe it..."

Bai Yingluo lowered her head in embarrassment.

On April [-]th, at the third baptism of the second prince, the prince named the child Song Chengxiang.
