Chapter 174 Wind Flower
Early morning, Prince Wei's Palace.
The Bai family's carriage slowly drove into the Prince of Wei's Palace.
Inside the mansion, Zhou Zhuoqi had already been waiting.
Seeing the carriage stop steadily, Bai Yanli pulled Tang Wanru out of the carriage. He hurried over and supported her: "Sister-in-law, be careful!"
Tang Wanru looked at him and nodded.
Today, Bai Yanli brought some peony water for his servants to try. After Tang Wanru came down, she took Yingchun to the back of the car to get it.
Zhou Zhuoqi also knew about Tang Wanru's pregnancy, so he came to Bai Yanli with a smile and said, "Seventh brother, my sister-in-law and you are both so beautiful. My nephew and niece will definitely be very cute in the future." He gestured excitedly, "In the future, I will teach him to sing and dance, and I will hug him to sleep, and I..."
Before he could finish his words, he looked up and saw Bai Yanli looking at him coldly.
Zhou Zhuoqi was startled by the look and quickly shut up.
Bai Yanli thought, that was a good idea.
He hasn't even been hugged yet, how can it be his turn?
Seeing him like this, Zhou Zhuoqi narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I was just saying that. What I meant was to congratulate Seventh Brother. It is a great joy that your sister-in-law is pregnant."
That's more or less.
Bai Yanli nodded and walked towards the lake.
Zhou Zhuoqi thought to himself, humph, who cares whether he is willing or not. When the baby is born, it will be like this, and he will have to hug, kiss and chew it. What right does it have to do with him?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhuoqi also followed to the lake. Seeing Bai Yanli's eyes observing the lake, Zhou Zhuoqi talked to him about business.
"Seventh brother." Zhou Zhuoqi said, "The prince tried to assassinate me before, which angered the emperor. The emperor issued a clear order not to allow him to do it again."
"On the surface, this happened because of me, but in fact, it's because of you, Seventh Brother. Congratulations, Seventh Brother." Zhou Zhuoqi bowed, "You have won the heart of the Emperor!"
Touched the heart?
Bai Yanli chuckled secretly.
It's just a matter of using and being used.
No one can win the heart of Emperor Zhou!
At this moment, the sound of pipa music came from somewhere. Bai Yanli heard it as soon as he got off the carriage. Now the sound seemed clearer, so he asked, "Where does this sound come from?"
Lakeside.
Under a willow tree, six pipa-playing girls in white and green long skirts had just finished their performance and were looking at the people who were leisurely sitting on the edge of the carriage watching their performance.
"It sounds nice." Tang Wanru sat there with her legs drooping and nodded.
When Yingchun heard this, she immediately took out six small purple porcelain bottles from the car and said, "It sounds good, the girls have worked hard, and the playing is really beautiful. Come and get your reward."
The girls put their pipa aside and came up happily. Yingchun handed one to each of them and said, "This is the newly developed peony water of the Bai family. We are looking for people to try it out. You can apply a layer after washing up on weekdays. If there is no problem, you can use it. If there is any redness or swelling on your face, go to the Rouge Building of the Bai family and tell the shopkeeper. Got it?"
"Got it! Got it!" Several women took it happily.
They don't know what a trial means.
I just know that I can't afford the Bai family's stuff. I might as well take it back and put it on display to save face.
The five small bottles were quickly sent out.
There is still one left in Yingchun's hand.
There was one girl who didn't come to get it.
Yingchun stared at the woman who was standing beside the willow tree holding a pipa. She was tall and had fair skin. She kept her head down silently, and seemed to have no interest in this matter.
Yingchun thought she was too embarrassed to come and get it, so she specifically asked, "Girl, don't you want it?"
Unexpectedly, the girl just looked up at her briefly, then turned her head away and stopped looking at her.
"You..." Yingchun felt a little strange. You didn't want this free gift?
At the same time, Tang Wanru also set her sights on this woman.
Tang Wanru narrowed her eyes slightly——
She seemed to see a hint of sadness in her pupils.

Prince Wei's Palace, Pavilion in the Center of the Lake.
Just now, King Wei heard that Tang Wanru liked to listen to these pipa girls playing music, so he brought them to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to perform specifically for Tang Wanru.
He also listened to it by the way.
He had brought these women here to entertain himself, and there had been musicians teaching them, but he had been busy recently, and since the women had come in for some time, he had not had time to listen.
We are together today.
"Sister-in-law." Tang Wanru was sitting in the pavilion. Zhou Zhuoqi came up and said with a smile, "I'll ask them to play an elegant piece for you and my nephew first, so you can enjoy it."
When Yingchun heard this, he almost burst out laughing.
The child is so young, but he already calls her nephew and niece, as if they are very familiar with each other.
This King of Wei is quite cute.
Seeing Tang Wanru nod, Zhou Zhuoqi turned around, coughed twice and said to the Pipa girls in a serious tone: "Play Ting Feng first for my sister-in-law to listen to. If you play well, there will be a reward!"
After that, he turned away from Tang Wanru and said to them in a low voice, "I teach you all the time just for today, so don't embarrass me, or I won't forgive you!"
I finally have a chance to show off in front of Tang Wanru, I can't lose face for him.
Although the women seldom saw the King of Wei, they now found him quite interesting, so they smiled at each other, picked up their pipa and said together, "Yes."

shore.
Bai Yanli had something to do just now, and when he came back, he didn't know when Tang Wanru had been taken to the pavilion in the middle of the lake by King Wei.
The pavilion was built on the lake, far away from the shore, with a wisp of mist lingering around it.
The sound of the pipa floated over from the pavilion. Bai Yanli saw Zhou Zhuoqi standing in the pavilion, raising his hand to direct the pipa girls.
Tang Wanru sat aside, listening to the music quietly.
Bai Yanli's eyes darkened.
The Zhou Emperor told the Crown Prince not to touch the King of Wei.
Can't protect King Wei!
Because of the prince's personality, he would definitely not listen to the Emperor of Zhou, and would even kill the King of Wei.
He felt something was wrong when he first arrived at Prince Wei's Palace.
But after a round of inspection, no problems were found.
At this moment, an attendant hurried over and said, "Master! Just as you expected, the prince did send assassins to the Prince of Wei's mansion."
Bai Yanli's expression froze: "Where is it?"
The attendant turned his head and looked at the misty lake, fixed his eyes on the place where the sound of the pipa came from, and said to him, "It's at the pavilion in the middle of the lake!"
