The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 759: kid
Chapter 759 Little One
“Mammy, please send someone to tell Yue Shi that I will change my clothes and ask him to wait a while.” Bai Qingyan turned his head and instructed Mammy Tong.
“yes!”
To return to Yunyuan, one has to pass by the Immortal Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Yue Shi was very quick and arrived there before Bai Qingyan.
Yue Shi saw Bai Qingyan from afar, who was wearing a turquoise shirt and a frosty white silk skirt, and hurriedly walked out of the Immortal Pavilion and hurriedly went forward to greet her.
After greeting Bai Qingyan, Yue Shi said, “Miss, the master’s elder brother has arrived outside Shuoyang City. Please see me. Is it convenient for you to move?”
Yue Shi knew that Bai Qingyan had been claiming to be sick to outsiders, so it was a bit unreasonable for him to ask Bai Qingyan to go out of the city at this time, but Emperor Yan wanted to see him… Even if Yue Shi had to be thick-skinned, he had to come and ask him.
“Doctor Hong has already informed me. You go and wait at the side door first. I will go back to Boyun Courtyard to change clothes and then go with you.” Bai Qingyan said to Yue Shi.
Yue Shi was full of gratitude: “Thank you, young lady!”
When Nanny Tong heard that Bai Qingyan was going out, she wondered whether she should ask Lupin to go with Bai Qingyan.
Back at Yunyuan, Bai Qingyan asked Chuntao to change her into men’s clothes.
Bai Qingyan has a tall and handsome figure, wearing a jade crown on his head, and is dressed in men’s clothes, which makes it difficult to tell whether he is a man or a woman. He looks like a handsome young man from a wealthy family.
While helping Bai Qingyan to button her clothes, Madam Tong said, “My dear, I will call Lupin to go with you!”
Bai Qingyan straightened her sleeves to cover the iron sandbags on her body and said, “Uncle Ping often walks outside. People outside know that Uncle Ping is from the Bai Mansion. If Uncle Ping follows me, it will tell others that I am the daughter of the Bai Mansion. I will have secret guards follow me, and I will call two guards who don’t often go out to follow me.”
Bai Qingyan’s words made sense, and Nanny Tong could not persuade him any further, so she had to go out and tell someone to arrange two unfamiliar guards who usually stayed in the Bai Mansion and never went out to accompany Bai Qingyan.
Yue Shi led the horse, anxiously waiting under the green willow trees outside the corner gate, but he heard no movement coming from inside the closed corner gate.
“Little brat!”
Yue Shi heard the voice and looked towards the alley entrance, only to see the secret guard he had met at the inn before riding on a tall horse and calling him.
“Let’s go! Quickly!” the secret guard said, and then he rode out with his horse’s belly.
Yue Shi did not dare to delay, so he immediately mounted his horse, turned around and followed.
Bai Qingyan, dressed in men’s clothes, was riding a horse in the front, galloping out of the city and heading straight for Ying Lake. Yue Shi caught up with Bai Qingyan only after he left the city.
Ying Lake is crystal clear, with algae floating on the lakebed and fish swimming around. The lake surface reflects the azure blue sky with white clouds floating in it, and the exquisitely carved and painted pleasure boats in the lake seem to be floating among the clouds.
The boat moved, the water waves broke through the cloud shadows, and it seemed to be passing through the sky.
After Bai Qingyan rode out of the city on horseback, his riding speed slowed down.
The weeping willows planted along the lake are as green as jade and sway in the wind. Occasionally, a willow leaf touches the lake surface, causing ripples to spread out, startling the dragonflies resting on the grass on the lake so that they quickly flap their wings and fly away.
Recently, Ying Lake in Shuoyang has been very lively. A dancer from Xiliang named Na Kang has come to a famous brothel in Shuoyang. She is good at singing and dancing, and plays the pipa to perfection. She can even dance while holding the pipa in her arms, attracting many young men in Shuoyang to pursue her. It is said that this dancer from Xiliang named Na Kang will go to the capital city soon. In the past few days, she has been meeting a guest every day in the Ying Lake pleasure boat.
During the day, those young men would go to the pleasure boat and spend huge sums of money just to become Nakang’s lover at night and witness her graceful dance with the pipa.
Because of the Xiliang dancer Nakang, Ying Lake at this time was as lively as a small market. On the blue brick path along the lake, there were young girls walking and chatting together, there were also small vendors selling tea, food and small items, shouting at the top of their voices, and there were also children with pigtails, unafraid of the scorching sun, playing Cuju in the sunlight.
An old man selling melons in a coarse sweatshirt and a straw hat, with a sweat towel draped over his shoulders, was using a palm-leaf fan to drive away the flies hovering around the cut melons and fruits, and was bargaining with a thirsty woman who had brought her son out for a walk and wanted to eat some melons.
There was also a handsome young man who loved to recite poetry and compose couplets. He was sitting in the pleasure boat, drinking wine and reciting poetry.
The bustling market scene becomes even more vivid with the chirping of cicadas and the hawkers’ cries.
Emperor Murong Yu of Yan stood at the front of the pleasure boat, looking at the noisy and bustling scene. This… was the peaceful and prosperous country that his mother and he had prayed for. It was lively and noisy, but also made people feel at ease, which made Murong Yu very envious.
His mother Queen Ji and he had always wished for nothing more than for all the people in the world to live a peaceful and worry-free life.
Murong Yu was watching so intently that he didn’t notice Bai Qingyan had arrived until the old eunuch Feng Yao beside Murong Yu saw Yue Shi, stepped forward and whispered a reminder. Murong Yu then came back to his senses and looked in the direction of Yue Shi. He immediately saw Bai Qingyan, who was dressed in neat men’s clothes and had a tall and dashing figure.
After a moment of surprise, Murong Yu finally understood why Bai Qingyan said that.
Bai Qingyan had already claimed to be ill, so he naturally needed to conceal his presence when he came to see him, and it was reasonable for him to change into men’s clothes.
Murong Yu did not act like an emperor, but instead acted like a wealthy young man from an ordinary family. He bowed deeply in the direction of Bai Qingyan and kept a very humble attitude.
Murong Yu’s reputation as the most handsome man in the world is not undeserved. His features are more stunning than those of women, and he deserves the title of peerless beauty. His long-term illness has made his face pale, but his skin looks even whiter than snow. He wears a bamboo green straight gown and a wide belt made of warm jade around his waist. Perhaps to adapt to the local customs, Murong Yu wears a jade pendant with a black jade dragon carved on it around his waist. It is lustrous and moist under the sunlight, and it is obvious that it is not an ordinary item.
In just half a cup of tea standing in front of the pleasure boat, Murong Yu had attracted countless women’s attention. A brave lady from a wealthy family even stood in front of her own pleasure boat and threw sachets to the gentle Murong Yu. Unfortunately, the guards around Murong Yu did not understand the situation and threw all the sachets back to other girls.
After a while, those girls who were eager to make a move did not dare to move and could only gaze at the immortal-like handsome man on the pleasure boat from afar.
Bai Qingyan handed the reins to the accompanying guard, and boarded the pleasure boat with Yue Shi. Then he saluted to Emperor Yan with a smile: “Greetings, Emperor Yan…”
“Sir, there is no need to be so polite. Please come in…” Murong Yu made a gesture of invitation to Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan nodded and followed Murong Yu into the pleasure boat.
The girls who had been paying attention to Murong Yu started chattering when they saw another young and handsome boy coming.
Unfortunately, the handsome boy and the handsome man both entered the pleasure boat, so they could no longer see them.
Bai Qingyan was invited to take a seat at the table. Murong Yu also lifted the hem of his gown and knelt opposite Bai Qingyan, separated by a small table.
The third update! I continue to ask for monthly votes… Emperor Yan came to see his sister-in-law for the last time!
