"Damn it! Could it be that the spy has really bewitched Your Majesty? Ahem! Ahem."

"My queen, please relax. It will be bad if the fetus is disturbed."

Huang'er, who was standing by, quickly brought the tea to Concubine Shi's mouth. After drinking a few sips, Shi Xin felt much better.

"Just keep an eye on me—"

Before Concubine Shi could finish her words, a palace maid rushed in anxiously.

"Whose man is this? How can he be so reckless? Take him out and give him ten lashes."

"Ah, Madam, I was wrong. I have something important to report."

The palace maid who broke in was so scared that she immediately knelt on the ground. Although she would not die from ten beatings with the big stick, she would at least have to rest in bed for ten days or half a month. She didn't know how many favors she would owe to others. She definitely couldn't bear it.

"Then tell me something important. If it's not important enough... hehe."

Concubine Shi sneered twice at last. The palace maid shuddered when she heard it, and then stammered, "His Majesty rewarded Madam Bai with many daily necessities and property, and also sent many craftsmen and carpenters to repair the house..."

"really?"

This time, after hearing the bad news, Concubine Shi was not too excited, but confirmed it again.

"Seriously!"

"That is indeed His Majesty's character."

Concubine Shi sighed and waved her hand to signal the palace maid who informed her to leave. Before she left, she did not forget to ask Huang'er to give her a silver ingot.

In front of so many people, she must act generously, otherwise it would be terrible if no one would be willing to tip her off in the future.

"Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam."

The palace maid bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude, and seeing that the imperial concubine was a little impatient, she quickly took her leave.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you always obsessed with Bai Yaoyao? Can't even the child in my belly keep you?"

Concubine Shi vaguely knew some of the inside story. His Majesty hated Bai Yaoyao very much, but for some reason he didn't hate her anymore now. Instead, there seemed to be a sense of love and hate between them.

Could it be that her six years of companionship and a child were still no match for an outsider?

Concubine Shi narrowed her beautiful eyes slowly. She would not allow His Majesty to be so close to Bai Yaoyao anymore, because she had no one to rely on, while Bai Yaoyao had the entire Daqi Kingdom behind her. If Bai Yaoyao also became pregnant with His Majesty's child, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"We must nip this in the bud and not give Bai Yaoyao another chance!"

Concubine Shi has been able to reach this point step by step, so her hands are naturally stained with blood. At the same time, she is not stupid. She must plan carefully and must not act rashly.

Otherwise, who would His Majesty suspect when he just showed goodwill to Bai Yaoyao and then died?

"Just wait, Bai Yaoyao, just cherish your current life." Concubine Shi said secretly.

"If I remember correctly... the house is made of pure wood, right?"

Chapter 53 Swing

The place where Bai Yaoyao lived had been renovated, but the group of carpenters seemed to have started building a house again. It was estimated that they wanted to expand her residence, and it would be best to connect it to the alley on the west side, so that it would be much more convenient to get in and out.

"Do I need to improve my favorability next? But there is nothing that can change in the dream."

In the five years of memories found from Di Muxi, because the original body almost lost his life that time, the original body's father completely ordered that the original body and Mu'er were not allowed to get too close.

To be precise, Mu'er was placed under house arrest and her range of activities was controlled, while her original body continued to play as usual.

Of course, the original body was such a vicious woman that she arranged for many people to bully Mu'er in the following two years.

"Forget it. There's nothing to whitewash later. We've already laid the groundwork many times before. It was all those people who used fake names to bully us. If it happens a few more times, it will seem like they are trying to cover up their own faults."

"It's fine as it is now, you live your life and I live mine."

She did not forget the system's prompt. All she had to do was survive and wait for the mission point. According to Di Muxi's current attitude, once the food was completely delivered to Di Muxi, even if she left here, Lu'er should not be retaliated against.

Bai Yaoyao looked at the firewood room and charcoal room that were being filled up bit by bit, as well as the newly built granary filled with fine grains and various dried meats, and she felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction swelling in her heart.

The satisfaction of a hamster stocking up on food for the winter.

"With so much food, it can last at least three or four months."

The palace maids and soldiers who moved the daily necessities worked for an entire afternoon, and they had finished moving everything by dusk. Everyone left, leaving only Bai Yaoyao and Bai Xiaolu.

"It's fine this way. It's just me and the princess living together."

Bai Xiaolu felt much happier when thinking about this, and happily went to boil water to cook dinner.

Since being banished to the cold palace, Yaoyao and Lu'er finally ate the first meal they cooked.

"Yaoyao, why don't we make a swing?"

During the meal, Bai Xiaolu suddenly suggested excitedly: "After the wall on the left is demolished and widened by the craftsmen, the old ash tree over there can be used as a swing."

Swing?

Bai Yaoyao thought of her original self. When she was a child, her original self loved swinging the most, but that was after Di Muxi left.

In fact, if she hadn't come, the original body would not remember anything about childhood, because that was from the age of two to seven, and it would be difficult for a normal person to remember it anyway.

What is more deeply remembered in the original body is playing and fighting with Lu'er in the palace, looking for fun, or sneaking out of the city to eat all kinds of delicious food.

Bai Yaoyao smiled and nodded in agreement. Now that she had no worries about food and clothing, it would be nice to find something to do to kill time.

…………

Perhaps in order to recall childhood memories, Bai Xiaolu got up early the next morning and excitedly went to find the craftsman and carpenter to get materials. When Bai Yaoyao got up, washed, and came out of the kitchen with a bowl after eating, Lu'er had already started to carve the wooden board.

In order to bear a weight of at least two hundred kilograms, the wooden board must be made of at least oak, pine or cypress. What Bai Xiaolu wants this time is oak, which has been cut into wooden boards about ten centimeters thick and half a meter long. If it is compact enough, it will be enough for two people to sit on. If it is longer and thicker, it will affect the experience of one person. Later on, just wrap a few more thick ropes under the board to share the pressure.

Making wooden boards is not difficult, but the difficult part is choosing the ropes and tree trunks.

Of course, this is not difficult for Bai Xiaolu who has mastered various skills. He climbs up the tree in no time and quickly finds the tree trunk he likes. Whether it is thickness, hardness, or length, the space left for the swing is very good.

"Yaoyao, help me throw the rope up."

Hearing the sound, Bai Yaoyao also stepped forward and threw the thick rope on the ground up with force. She threw it up twice before Lu'er finally caught it.

"Hey, we should be able to play in the evening."

Bai Yaoyao couldn't speak and had no strength in her hands to help much. She could only stand by and watch over Lu'er's situation.

After working all morning, Bai Yaoyao had already prepared the meal by noon.

Bai Yaoyao looked at Lu'er wolfing down the food and couldn't help but reach out to wipe the rice grains off Lu'er's face with a look of reproach.

The breeze blew slowly across the snow. As the sun slowly set, the warmth in the breeze gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a cool breeze that made the hair stand on end when it blew on the body.

"It's done. Finally done."

Bai Xiaolu jumped down from the tree. As it was inconvenient for her to move, she had already taken off her thick skirt and was only wearing two slightly thin shirts.

Suddenly, she felt a fluffy touch on her face. Bai Xiaolu glanced sideways and saw Yaoyao wiping the sweat from her forehead and cheeks with a warm towel.

"I……"

Bai Xiaolu originally wanted to say that she came here herself, but when she saw the princess's expression that did not admit rejection, she swallowed her words back.

Soon, the thick coat was put on again, and then Bai Yaoyao brought a bowl of hot broth with a gentle smile on her face. Xiaolu was stunned for a moment.

"Yaoyao, you are so beautiful."

"uh-huh."

Bai Yaoyao snorted twice, then raised the broth in her hand with great dissatisfaction. Bai Xiaolu then realized that the princess was still holding the soup in her hand, and hurriedly took it and poured it into her mouth.

"Princess, come on and see the swing I just made."

Bai Xiaolu wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth generously, then pulled Bai Yaoyao to walk under the old tree. The noisy sounds from the carpenters' construction work in the surrounding area disappeared as the sun went down. This sparsely populated area in the corner of the palace became exceptionally quiet.

In the direction where the sun was setting, the bright red sunset dyed the entire sky red. The brilliant afterglow sprinkled on the earth, casting long reflections on Bai Yaoyao and Bai Xiaolu.

"so beautiful."

Bai Yaoyao's beautiful eyes flickered. She had to admit that the natural scenery in this world was very nice. Although there were many in the martial arts world as well, the tight mission schedule had never allowed her to fully appreciate it.

"Yaoyao, try it quickly."

Bai Xiaolu tidied Yaoyao's dress and pushed her to sit on the swing. She walked behind her and gently shook it, then looked up at the rope on the tree trunk, observing its wear and tear.

“It’s quite fun.”

Bai Yaoyao sat back a little, her legs naturally lifted into the air, her hands grasping the ropes on both sides, feeling the push from behind, feeling very comfortable.

"Green, come and play with us."

Bai Yaoyao couldn't say anything, so she could only take action. She jumped off the swing, and seeing Lu'er's puzzled expression, she reached out and pulled Lu'er to sit on the swing together. The two slender girls sat on the half-meter-long wooden board, which seemed a bit crowded. She could even smell the fragrance of the girl next to her.

"The princess smells so good."

Bai Xiaolu was thinking this in her heart when she suddenly felt a warm and soft touch on her palm.

It turned out that it was the princess who grabbed her hand.

When she looked up, she saw the princess staring at her with a smile on her face. Because she was so close, she could even make out the fine hairs on her face in the reflection of the dusk.

The tip of Bai Xiaolu's nose was filled with the fragrance of the princess. A blush quietly appeared on her pretty face. She shyly kept moving to the side. Seeing this, Bai Yaoyao became even more playful and moved closer.

Bai Xiaolu could even feel the princess's breath. She felt shy and wanted to stay away from her, but she was also secretly happy and hoped to be closer to the princess. She felt very conflicted.

"Princess, please don't get so close to me."

Chapter 54: Flirting with Lu'er

"Princess, please don't get so close to me."

Bai Xiaolu stuttered as she spoke, her small face as big as a palm blushing with embarrassment. She had been squeezed to the corner of the swing, and the princess' whole body was almost pressed against her, but even so she kept moving closer.

"whee."

Bai Yaoyao gave a wicked laugh. She always felt that teasing an innocent girl like Lu'er was particularly interesting.

Ever since she became a girl, her teasing of girls has never had much effect, and she was mostly the target of counter-teasing. But now in the Kingdom of Girls, because of the different world views, it is normal for girls to get married, so Bai Yaoyao finally got this feeling back.

Just when Lu'er was feeling extremely embarrassed, Bai Yaoyao finally moved a little further away.

"Well."

The sweet fragrance of the girl surrounding her body gradually faded, and Bai Xiaolu inexplicably felt a sense of loss in her heart.

"Green is so cute."

Seeing Lu'er's lost look, Bai Yaoyao couldn't help it after all, and pinched Lu'er's face with her other hand, leaving a small red mark.

"Princess, you are so mean."

………………

In Kunning Palace, Di Muxi sat at his desk and finished processing another memorial. Looking at the full box of memorials, he felt very happy.

With the reform of the reporting mechanism for state affairs, she is now gradually relieved. She no longer has to work on government affairs for more than eight hours a day. Now she only needs four to six hours to handle a large number of affairs, and the rest of the time is at her disposal.

Suddenly, Di Muxi thought of something and instinctively took out a jade pendant from his arms.

The quality of the jade is not top quality, at best it is medium quality. If you exchange it for money you can only get a few dozen taels of silver. If a person saves a little, he can live for one or two years.

And just a few dozen taels of silver were all the assets of my adoptive mother.

The image of Youguang's adoptive mother, who was not very good to her, quickly flashed through Di Muxi's mind. In fact, her adoptive mother was not particularly good to her. It could only be said that she would never starve as long as she had something to eat.

Moreover, when her adoptive mother was alive, she was only seven years old and did not remember much. She had called her mother since she could remember, and only learned her adoptive mother's real name after she ascended the throne.

His fingers gently brushed across the pendant, stroking the unknown symmetrical patterns on it. It felt exceptionally warm and smooth, as if it had been polished for a long time. The surface of the jade pendant was covered with a layer of patina from sweat, and it shimmered under the light, looking exceptionally beautiful.

"It seems that Bai Yaoyao has touched this jade pendant a lot."

Di Muxi thought so, but doubts arose in her heart. Why would Bai Yaoyao, who was doted on so much, often play with her jade pendant?

"Perhaps only Bai Yaoyao can know."

Putting these insignificant thoughts in the bottom of your heart, you continue to plan reforms in other areas. If you want to completely pull Dahuang, this terminally ill country, back to health, then reforms must cover all aspects. A single reform will not play a decisive role.

She is still very busy.
