Chapter 24 Relaxation of relations
In order to avoid embarrassment, Baili Yao had to use her father, whom she had never met, as a shield and showed concern for him inside and out.
"It's getting late. Third sister, you should go to bed early." Baili Jing stood up and specially arranged a place for Xiao Hai.
Sure enough, he asked someone to send Baili Yao over early the next morning. Before leaving, Baili Jing suddenly asked curiously, "Third sister, what do you think of me now?"
Baili Yao was really confused by his strange question, but fortunately her mind worked quickly, "It's indeed been many years since I last saw him. When I first saw the eldest brother, I was thinking, oh, what a handsome general."
The soldiers beside her all laughed at what she said. Baili Jing never thought that a girl like her would say such a thing, and her face even felt slightly hot.
"Miss Third is right. Our general is majestic, handsome and elegant."
"Go, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and send them off." Baili Jing calmed down his emotions, "Be careful on the road."
Baili Yao smiled at her and said, "Yeah."
Baili Jing was about to turn around, but Baili Yao suddenly remembered, "Brother, wait a minute!"
"Hmm?" Baili Jing looked at her strangely as if waiting for what was to come.
Baili Yao chuckled and said, "Brother, please give me some money... I... am short of money..."
Xiao Hai scratched his head. They handed over all their money...
Baili Jing was stunned at first, then he laughed out loud, "Okay, okay." He waved his hand and the people below brought a lot of silver and money. Baili Yao asked Xiao Hai and only took a part of it.
"That's enough. I'm leaving, brother~" She waved her hand and rode her horse while chatting with Xiao Haibian.
Baili Yao looked back and saw Baili Jing still standing there watching her go. She waved and Baili Jing waved back. It seemed that the relationship between her and her elder brother should have eased a little. As for the future, after all, she had hated him since childhood. There was a long time to go, so she could just get along with him slowly.
The group arrived after walking for half a day. Baili Yao's package contained clothes. After entering the city, she found an inn. She asked Xiao Hai to have dinner downstairs with the accompanying soldiers. She washed up and changed her clothes before coming down.
The Crown Princess's banquet was not held in the Imperial Palace or the Crown Prince's Mansion, but in the Imperial Farm next to the Royal Hunting Grounds.
When Baili Yanhong saw Baili Yao, his guilty conscience was almost written on his face, and his eyes were dodging. He might have said that he had met bandits, but he just said that it took a long time...
How come he is alright... and was even sent back in good condition...
After thanking the military commander, Baili Yao began to explain, "The carriage took too long to repair, and I was afraid I would miss it so I rode here on horseback. I happened to meet big brother's army on the way, so I stayed an extra day. Someone sent me here early this morning. Has grandma arrived?" She said this to Baili Yanhong.
Baili Yanhong felt guilty, "Well, grandma will be late... two days later..."
"What's wrong with you, second brother? You stutter so much." Baili Lianshuang asked directly without thinking, which made Baili Yanhong sweat on his back.
Baili Yao didn't say much and was taken to rest by the servants. She looked around and it was worthy of being a royal manor. There were countless maids and servants, and the decoration was exquisite everywhere, reflecting the majesty of the royal family. It took so long to prepare for a banquet alone.
"The banquet is still a few days away, so let us come here early. I see there are quite a lot of people. They are all eager to come to the Crown Princess' banquet." Baili Yao took Xiao Hai to walk around. The farm was very big and the scenery was nice. She whispered, "Did you see the fourth sister? Wow, she is so gorgeous."
"Young lady, you should dress up. Fourth Young Lady has put a lot of effort into this trip, just to meet the Third Prince. Young lady has liked the Third Prince since she was a child. Are you going to give up now?"
The Third Prince, she had no impression of him at all... She didn't like it, she knocked on Xiao Hai's head, "Don't mention it in the future. It's just right that the Fourth Sister seduced him. I have never thought about getting married."
Xiao Hai rubbed his head, knowing that the young lady was different from before. He thought that everyone would change, and maybe she wouldn’t like him anymore after she got better.
It's just that the other young ladies all brought maids with them, but Baili Yao didn't. There were some places that Xiao Hai couldn't enter conveniently, so she couldn't do anything special. "Xiao Hai, don't go back. I'll take a walk by myself."
"Miss, that's not possible. This imperial estate is so big..."
"Oh, it's okay. There are some places you can't enter. I'll just look around. Who would dare to commit a crime under the eyes of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess?"
Xiao Hai scratched his head, and seeing that Baili Yao insisted, he had to go back by himself.
"Haha, how can it be so funny~" Laughter came from the front, Baili Yao paused, Baili Lianshuang's voice! Can't go, can't go.
What a coincidence! I just met him while walking around. What bad luck.
When Baili Lianshuang saw the Third Prince Xuanyuanzhe, she went over to chat with him, and Bai Furui naturally followed her. When she saw Baili Yao turning around and leaving, she rolled her eyes and said, "It seems like the Third Miss is watching over there..." As she spoke, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice.
When Baili Lianshuang heard Baili Yao, her smile almost disappeared, and Xuanyuan Zhe also looked in that direction.
