After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 165 Unwilling
The wind blows the bamboo leaves rustling, and the bamboo shadows are graceful at the feet.

When Yan Baolin heard Ruan Yuyi's answer, his expression brightened, and he hurriedly talked about the rules with her.

With a smile on her lips, she listened quietly, and said, "What does Baolin want to bet on? I'm not just 'great'."

Yan Baolin pursed her lips and thought for a while, but she couldn't think of anything suitable. When she came out this time, her luggage was light, and she had never brought any valuables.

So she simply asked Ruan Yuyi to choose one for herself.

She rolled her eyes and said with a slight smile, "Why don't Baolin take your box of preserved fruit as a note."

Yan Baolin's eyes were wide open, and he curled his lips and said, "Okay, Sister Ruan, it turns out that you were interested in the concubine's candied fruit earlier!" No one knew that this Yan Baolin was very protective of food.

"I don't owe you anything," she said again, "If Baolin wins, my can of plums will be yours." The plums were originally eaten on the road. It will be better with some plums.

After receiving these words, Yan Baolin happily agreed.

In fact, when it comes to the rules, it's not complicated, it's just that two people intertwine the grass stalks, and the two pull at the same time, whoever breaks first will be the loser.

After agreeing to win two out of three rounds, Ruan Yuyi tried it once, and then figured out the way to go. With cleverness, she won twice in a row.

Yan Baolin tried hard to cut off the grass stem in her hand, but it always hit the grass stem in his own hand.The thing in her hand broke, and she suddenly lost her balance and staggered backwards.

The palace servants standing beside her hurriedly supported her, their faces full of nervousness.

She waved her hands nonchalantly, and clamored to meet Ruan Yuyi a few more times.

Seeing that Yan Baolin was competitive, she secretly released some water to make her win.She didn't see that Ruan Yuyi was giving in to her, she smiled triumphantly, and asked Mu Xiang to fetch plums to share with her.

Concubine Shu reminded her that she did not take all the plums, but half of the preserved plums.

Playing all the grass stalks, several people gathered together to wipe the dominoes.In the pavilion by the bamboo grove, there was not a sound of laughter, it was very lively.

Behind the bamboo grove, Bai Zhiqi stood there alone for an unknown period of time, and every tiny movement entered her ears arrogantly. She clenched her fingertips tightly, but she still refused to walk away.

She thought that everyone would look at her aunt's face and respect her, so she would never be cold.

But when the other concubines refused to be with her, she finally realized that her aunt's status in the palace was not what she thought, and the queen mother was gone. Even because of her cousin who initiated the palace change, the palace Everyone only maintained her superficial decency.

It can be said that, except for the people in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, other people suddenly think about filial piety and listen to what the Empress Dowager said, even if they ignore it, no one will criticize it.

Seeing her uneasy expression, the maid beside her called out worriedly, "Miss—"

Bai Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Go back to the yard, I'm a little cold." The face that was always smiling on weekdays was cold now, as if it was a different person under the skin.

"Yes." The maid lowered her hand and followed her master who turned to leave.

When it got late, Ruan Yuyi and the others bid farewell to each other and went back to each courtyard.

She ate the preserved fruit that she got from Yan Baolin, the preserved fruit was very well made, soft and chewy, and the amount of icing on it was also appropriate.

Mu Xiang saw that she had used it a lot, so she didn't let her use it any more.The palace servants outside brought the boiled soup, she drank it without hesitation.

She took the veil and wiped the medicine juice from the corners of her lips.

Mu Xiang handed her the candied fruit.She shook her head slightly, but didn't answer.She felt the bitter taste of the medicine spread in her mouth, maybe it was because of the medicine, her headache symptoms were relieved a bit.

Mu Xiang was a little surprised, she didn't know when the young lady would not be afraid of suffering.

"Miss, I heard that Yao Qingchi asked that Bai girl to go." Mu Xiang glanced at her expression and said.If they were ranked according to their ranks, this Yaoqing Pool should have been allocated to her, and they didn't want to skip her directly.

She hummed lightly, but didn't answer.

The bitter taste of the medicine filled her mouth, raging, and she suddenly felt a churning in her stomach.She covered her lips and tightened her throat.

Mu Xiang was startled, hurriedly handed over the candied fruit, and took some tea for rinsing her mouth.The tea dilutes the bitterness in her mouth, and she feels relieved just now.

Later, the palace people sent clothes to her, which were embroidered with gold, water and red gauze.

"My lord, Your Majesty ordered you to change your clothes and go to the Huayi Pool in the East Courtyard." The palace man lowered his head and lifted the pan above his head.

Huayi Pool is located near the courtyard of the new emperor. Although the concubines are secretly vying for better hot springs to overwhelm others, they all understand the ownership of Huayi Pool, and no one dares to make such an idea.

It turned out that it was because of this that he didn't give her anything else.She lowered her eyes, responded quietly, and took the gauze dress.

She changed her clothes, only put on a cloak outside, embraced the sleeve stove, and set off for Huayi Pool.

After crossing a Zhulan Banqiao, there are densely planted bamboos in front of you.The palace man led her to the gap in the bamboo forest.

There was a vaguely crimson-clothed figure by the edge of the forest, who seemed to be able to hear someone's movement, and turned around with a smile on his face.Seeing that it was Ruan Yuyi and the others, the smile faded a little, "Why is sister here?" Didn't she not get assigned to the pool?

Bai Zhiqi was wearing a round collar, revealing a dazzling whiteness.Seeing someone coming now, he raised his hand to cover his front.

Ruan Yuyi didn't answer.

The cold wind poured in from under the cloak, licking every inch of her skin.The cloak hung empty on her body, and she almost felt as if she was naked.She focused most of her attention on the clothes, for fear that others would see what was inside through the cloak.

The palace attendant who brought her here answered, "Your Majesty told you that Young Lord Ruan is here. If Miss Bai has nothing important to do, you'd better leave quickly." The palace attendant turned sideways and gestured.

Bai Zhiqi's face contorted for a while, and soon returned to normal, "I want to see Your Majesty." Since the new emperor allowed her to go to the palace with him, she didn't believe that he had no affection for her.

"Miss Bai, let's go back." His Majesty ordered Ruan Jieyu to be brought here, but he didn't know when she would come, even Ruan Jieyu had to wait, she was a girl from the Empress Dowager's mother's family, so she had no face.

Ruan Yuyi's eyes fell on her, and she finally said, "Miss Bai got the Yaoqing Pond from the imperial court? The water in the pool is smooth and clear. I heard that it has natural medicinal properties, but she is the only one."

She couldn't see why Bai Zhiqi came here.It's just that she doesn't understand, this palace is like a cage, and she knows that she has entered it, but she will spend her whole life studying in it.

A few fluttering words coaxed Bai Zhiqi into a much brighter mood.
