I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 242 Bingxi
"Beautiful sister, do you know that my brother is very skilled in martial arts, and he is also very handsome, and he will be the emperor in the future. In our Beili, besides the father, the most powerful brother is the elder brother. I know you I despise him for always having a stinky face, and how ugly he is when he speaks. In fact, I also hate his appearance, but he is my brother after all, and I can't just watch him fail to marry a wife. , you will die alone...so don't worry, when you get married, my mother, queen and father will all help you, and I will never let my brother bully you, and..."

As soon as he left the Sky Palace, Baili Yiqing enthusiastically asked Qu Lingxu if he liked his brother. After getting a negative answer, his cute little face instantly became extremely melancholy. With Yiqing's style, she quickly came out of the disappointment and began to put in all her energy to 'sell' her brother with all her might. If she drools a lot, she won't stop the trend.

……

Qu Lingxu put his hands on his forehead, sighed silently for countless times, and finally decided to rudely interrupt Baili Yiqing's passionate and eloquent words, and smiled weakly: "Princess ...His Royal Highness...Where do you want to take me to play?"

It's winter, Baili Yiqing will not plan to press the road in the cold wind all the time, she has no interest.

Baili Yiqing was so focused on his brother's lifelong affairs that he didn't even notice that he had gone the wrong way, until Qu Lingxu reminded him, he just paused and said, "Oh, I'm going to the ice lake, why did I come here. "After that, he turned his head and told the palace man who was following him: "Go back to the palace quickly, and bring the princess's skates. In addition, find a pair of skates that fit your feet and bring them to the beautiful sister."

Qu Lingxu admitted that his face was not ugly, but he was always a little embarrassed to be called 'beautiful sister', so he coughed lightly and corrected: "Princess, my name is Qu Lingxu. Just call me by my name."

"Qu Lingxu..." Baili Yiqing recited it in a low voice, then smiled with big eyes flashing and said: "Sister Xu, my name is Baili Yiqing, you can call me Qinger, that's what my father, queen and queen always call me of."

Baili Yiqing had never seen her brother so 'close' to any woman, and also liked Qu Lingxu, so subconsciously, she already regarded Qu Lingxu as her family.

Although the title 'Sister Xu' is too intimate, it is much better than 'Beautiful Sister', so Qu Lingxu had to acquiesce, and then said: "Princess, I can't skate."

Speaking of which, Qu Lingxu has a wide range of hobbies. Swimming, horse riding, and shooting are all well practiced, but she has never tried ice skating, because when she was seven years old, she was walking on the ice and fell on her head. She fell, and the fall was extremely heavy. After a few days, she felt a dull pain in the back of her head. Since then, she has a conditioned fear of the ice, even with helmets, knee pads, etc. A series of protective tools, and dare not try skating, not even roller skating.

Of course, Baili Yiqing would not know about Qu Lingxu's experiences. Hearing this, she waved her hands without hesitation, "It's okay, I'm good at skating, I'll teach my sister later."

……

Qu Lingxu raised his head helplessly and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

This little princess was too enthusiastic, and I couldn't believe that she and Baili Haochen were born to the same parents.

Although the water resources in Beili are relatively scarce, this is the palace after all, and it took a lot of thought to lure the water from Jinghu Lake into the palace, and built a large artificial lake in the palace. It's much colder, and the lake is covered with thick ice at this moment, which is suitable for playing.

Chatting like this, we soon arrived at the artificial lake. Bingxi is a recreational activity suitable for all ages in Beili, so many leisure palace people have gathered by the lake, groups of three and five, in the Sliding freely on the ice, laughing happily from time to time.

Such a cheerful atmosphere made Baili Yiqing even more excited. He couldn't wait for the palace servants to come over with skates and shoes, so he put on the cotton shoes and went on the ice. Seeing Baili Yiqing, the palace people stopped playing one after another and knelt down to salute respectfully Say hello.

"Get up, you guys continue to play your game." Baili Yiqing signaled the palace servants to get up, and then realized that Qu Lingxushang was standing on the bank and did not follow, so he smiled and waved his hands, "Sister Xu, come here quickly Oh, skating is fun!"

Everyone has things they don't want to try, for Qu Lingxu, skating is one of them, so she didn't walk on the lake, but said with a faint smile: "Princess, let's play, I'll just watch the excitement on the shore .”

Although Baili Yiqing let the palace people continue to play, but in front of the princess, no one dared to really play around, all of a sudden, the originally bustling artificial lake was completely silent.

Baili Yiqing was just at the age of being playful. Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become so oppressive, he curled his lips unhappily, then slid back to the shore, pulled Qu Lingxu's wrist involuntarily, and dragged her to the ice surface Going up, she said coquettishly as she walked, "Sister Xu, you just play with me. No one has played with me for a long time." At the end, she felt aggrieved and looked very sad.

At this moment, Qu Lingxu had already stepped on the ice with one foot. She originally planned to resolutely refuse, but seeing Baili Yiqing's disappointed and sad little face, a little bit of unbearable feeling rose in her heart. When she was a child, she always moved from time to time with her parents, and she didn't have many good friends around her. Many times, she was lonely like this.

Thinking like this, he couldn't say the words of refusal, Qu Lingxu simply nodded and said: "Okay, I'll play with you for a while, but you can't run around, it will be bad if you bump into each other."

Seeing that Qu Lingxu agreed to play with her, Baili Yiqing immediately nodded her head as "cloudy and sunny", "Don't worry, sister, I'm doing well."

At this moment, the palace servants who were ordered to go back to pick up the skates also came to the lake, Baili Yiqing changed the skates, his movements became more sensitive, and from time to time he made a few difficult moves such as "Golden Rooster Independent", which won the crowd of onlookers Applause.

Compared with Baili Yiqing, Qu Lingxu's movements are undoubtedly too clumsy. After changing into skates under the service of the palace servants, although he can barely walk on the ice, his cautious staggering steps are almost like those of seventy-ninety Some fights by the old man can be said to be quite... Turtle speed.

"Princess, be careful." Seeing that Qu Lingxu stumbled on a bumpy ice surface, Meiyin, who was not far away, immediately stepped forward and gave her a strong support.

"Thank you." Qu Lingxu straightened her body and said with a light smile, "If you want to learn how to skate, you can't do it without falling a few times. It doesn't matter."

Well, it turns out that the shadow left by her childhood is the most difficult to heal. Qu Lingxu's fear of ice is much stronger than that of ordinary people, so much so that when the skates shake slightly, she instinctively bends her knees and falls.

But such a serious fear can't be shown in front of Meiyin, because once someone finds a weakness, they will probably take advantage of it. The other party is not her confidant, and although she will not harm her for the time being, she must not believe it .

Seeing Qu Lingxu slowly let go of her hand, Meiyin's lowered eyes flashed a strange color, but she immediately responded as usual: "What the princess said is that if you are bored in winter, learn how to play on the ice, you can add more energy." A lot of fun."

While they were talking, Baili Yiqing had already slid back from the farthest distance, and the cold wind blew her exposed little face flushed, but her interest in playing became more and more high, and she shouted happily: " Sister Xu, come here quickly, I will take you to the opposite side!"

Qu Lingxu has just experienced Baili Yiqing's skating skills. With her, she probably won't fall too badly. Qu Lingxu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, but you have to slow down , otherwise I can't keep up with you."

"Understood, I will take my sister with me!" Saying this, Baili Yiqing stretched out his hands, held Qu Lingxu's wrist tightly, and led her slowly towards the center of the lake. Concentrated on skating, he didn't notice a pair of deep eyes not far away, which were bursting out with a cold light.

Princess Xinyue, let's see who can save you this time!
Since the Qishan faction chose to cooperate with the Beili royal family represented by Baili Haochen, it had its own purpose and intention. Therefore, many people were placed in the Beili palace early on. , most of them were captured by Baili Haochen
They were found out and sentenced to death, but there were still a few fish that slipped through the net and survived. In order to avoid revealing their identities, the leader of the Qishan faction decided to let them go into hibernation temporarily, and only activate them at critical moments.

However, after Qi Qingyan failed to use the bloodthirsty Gu to attack Qu Lingxu, her heart was severely injured, but this not only did not make her want to get rid of Qu Lingxu, but she wanted to take the other party's life even more frantically. , without telling the head of the Qishan faction, she made an exception and activated the spies who were dormant in the palace, letting them play by ear and complete the mission at all costs. Thinking of seeing Baili Yiqing dragging Qu Lingxu to the artificial lake.

It is self-evident why I came to the artificial lake at this time. Although the ice in the lake is frozen solid, it is not unbreakable. As long as he finds a way to crack the ice, Qu Lingxu will fall into the ice cave while skating. Not to mention that she has no chance to climb up at all, even if she is lucky enough to be rescued, she will definitely be infected with severe wind and cold after soaking in ice water for a while in such weather. Most likely there is no cure, so naturally his task is accomplished.
