MTL - Restart the Protagonist’s Way of Survival-Chapter 67 storytelling
"Okay, okay, sit down." Li Zichou held her hand slightly, making her sit back on the couch.
The heat on Bai Qingyang's face hadn't dissipated yet, he turned his head to look at her resentfully and said, "You are so good at teasing people."
Li Zichou snorted and said, "I'm sorry, you are too cute to hold back."
Bai Qingyang's pupils widened slightly, as if he couldn't believe it: "I...cute?"
No one has ever found her cute before, even Aye said that she was high-spirited and full of airs as the most talented woman in the capital.
Li Zichou suddenly remembered the personality of the other party's high-cold female monarch, put away his smile, coughed twice and changed the subject: "Well, have you finished approving all these papers?"
Bai Qingyang hummed, and replied: "The approval is over, if you are worried, you can review it again."
Li Zichou shook his head: "No, it's a great help, thank you."
She still believed in Bai Qingyang's professional ability, as long as she didn't deliberately mess with her, there would be absolutely no mistakes.
"Shang Yisi's gowns are about to be produced. After you try them on, if something doesn't fit you, let them change them quickly." Li Zichou said.
"I'll see the envoy from Zichen Palace, should I go too?" Bai Qingyang asked.
When Li Zichou heard this, he said, 'Why do you still ask this question? ’ expression: "Of course, you are the queen, the mother of Dasheng."
After speaking, he felt that he was suspected of kidnapping the other party, and Li Zichou added: "It's just a formality, it won't be too troublesome, I'm here."
Bai Qingyang didn't say anything, she just remembered the scene of the court meeting in the previous life.
I was summoned to attend temporarily, and I didn't have Zhuyi specially used to meet the guests, and even the phoenix robe was an old-fashioned winter clothing.
She just wore an ordinary court dress, and there was no special place reserved for her, so she stood in the row of courtiers. All the officials looked at her with strange eyes, and the envoys from all ministries also cast inquiring eyes on her.
She turned a blind eye, neither humble nor overbearing. What happened in the outside world has nothing to do with her, and Li Chou, who is sitting in a high position, seems to have forgotten her "queen" who was forced to marry.
Bai Qingyang didn't care if others took this matter as a joke and conversation material after dinner.
Suddenly, Bai Qingyang saw Li Zichou's face, and then heard himself say: "Well, thank you."
Li Zi felt blessed, he didn't look at the booklet, but turned his head to look into Bai Qingyang's eyes.
"Oh, um..."
They looked at each other and were silent for a short while, the flow of time seemed to slow down, and no one broke the tranquility first.
Some people couldn't help laughing until the jade chimes hanging under the eaves bumped into each other lightly and made a long musical sound.
Bai Qingyang instantly turned his face away.
"Why are you..." Li Zichou covered his smiling face and said, "Why are you blushing again?"
"Dont look at me!"
"Okay, okay, don't look at it..."
How could Bai Qingyang admit that the meeting just now reminded her inexplicably of the anxious expression of Li Zishou that she vaguely saw after she drowned. It should be a glance after the consciousness returned to the cage for a short time, but after that glance, she sank into the darkness again.
Why did you remember it now? !
Li Zichou didn't know that she was thinking so much in her heart, she just felt that today's Bai Qingyang was really too young - even though she was a young girl in the first place.
"thank you."
Li Zichou was taken aback when he heard the words: "Huh? You thanked me just now."
Bai Qingyang shook his head: "It's about me falling into the water, thank you for saving me then."
Li Zichou felt strange, and didn't know why she brought up this matter again: "You have also thanked me for this matter."
"Thanks again."
"Oh, so...you're welcome?"

"Xie Zhirui, I'm here to pick you up!" Yang Dejin shouted as soon as he entered the door.
In front of the hall, a graceful and luxurious woman turned around upon hearing the sound, and there were still two servant girls standing beside her.
Yang Dejin's smile froze, and he quickly screened out the characters in the plot in his mind, and finally came to a conclusion - this is Mrs. Bai.
How could she forget about this!
Yang Dejin restrained her movements in an instant, carried the pastry box, and boldly stepped forward to say hello: "The younger generation has seen Madam."
Mrs. Bai seemed a little surprised. She seldom saw guests from the Minister's Mansion. After saying that it was a pleasure to meet her, she couldn't help guessing Yang Dejin's identity.
Wearing brocade clothes and carrying a horizontal knife. Appearance is delicate, behavior is flamboyant. The appearance is somewhat dandy, but the etiquette is quite thoughtful. It should come from a wealthy family in Beijing, maybe Xie Zhi's colleague.
"Are you here to see Zhirui?" Mrs. Bai asked, raising her hand as a motion to sit down.
"Ah..." Yang Dejin sat down awkwardly, "Yes, I am a friend of Lord Xie, do you know where he is?"
Madam Bai put down the needle and thread in her hand, and folded her hands in front of her belly naturally: "He is taking a bath in the room at the moment, and he probably won't come out for a while. If you have nothing important to do, Xiao Lang, you can wait here."
Yang Dejin naturally agreed: "The junior is bothering you."
"Wenzhu, go and serve herbal tea to the guests."
A maid on Mrs. Bai's left blessed her body, said yes, and went down.
"What's your surname?" Mrs. Bai turned to Yang Dejin and asked.
Yang Dejin replied respectfully: "Your surname is Yang, and Madam Bai can call me whatever you want."
Madam Bai was surprised again: "Mr. Yang knows me?"
Yang Dejin thought that was not the case, the woman who would live in the servant's mansion would only be Xie Zhi's wife.
Mrs. Bai is in her early forties, and she can still see her youthful demeanor. The decline in her family did not wear away her elegance, but made her more dignified and calm. It seems that she has been well protected by Xie Zhi in this life.
"I heard from Mr. Xie that Madam has such an outstanding temperament. I can tell right away." Yang Dejin brought up the pastry box that was put aside, "This is a limited edition cake from Quanxianlou. It is for Mr. Xie. Madam will also try it. .”
Mrs. Bai received a sudden compliment, thinking that Yang Dejin is really a young man who can talk, she smiled and thanked: "Good boy, I didn't expect Zhirui to make such a good friend."
"Ma'am, you've turned me off." Yang Dejin said with a shy smile, waving her hands.
Yang Dejin is handsome and has a sweet mouth, which really pleases the elders. With just a few words, he asked Mrs. Bai to put down those vain etiquettes and start talking with her.
Xie Zhi with his hair loose, came to the front hall and saw this scene:
Madam Bai sat at the main seat, leaving the half-embroidered flower and bird embroidery aside. Yang Dejin moved a small stool and said something in front of Mrs. Bai, making Mrs. Bai hide her face and smile from time to time. Even the maids beside her were all smiling, and their eyes were full of joy when they saw Yang Dejin.
Xie Zhi:?
"Madam Bai, you don't know how powerful Xie Zhi is." Yang Dejin spoke enthusiastically.
"How powerful is it?" Mrs. Bai asked with dignity.
"At that time, the knife in that man's hand was about to hit the back of my neck. Mr. Xie was so quick that he caught the black hand with a 'snap', and I was saved from an innocent disaster."
"Wow!" Yang Dejin spoke vividly, and the maids at the side clapped their hands in unison, "Our lord is really amazing!"
Madam Bai also smiled, very happy to hear it.
Xie Zhi: "..." Talking about storytelling?
"Ahem!"
There was movement in front of the hall, and several people in the room looked towards the source of the sound. The servant girls came to their senses and saluted Xie Zhi: "My lord."
Mrs. Bai: "Xiao Rui, you are here."
Xie Zhi stepped forward, first greeted Mrs. Bai respectfully, "Master." Then he turned to look at Yang Dejin.
The strange thing is that Yang Dejin stared at Xie Zhi without moving, with his mouth slightly open, looking a little silly.
Xie Zhi who was stared at inexplicably: "?" What's wrong again.
Mrs. Bai: "Xiao Rui, your friend came to see you, so I chatted with her."
Xie Zhi thought to himself, this is nothing but a chat, it's clearly a topic of discussion.
Xie Zhi: "Zhi Rui knows that Zhi Rui heard that someone was visiting, so he hurriedly finished his bath and came here. I didn't expect you to have a very happy conversation with His Highness."
I really didn't expect Yang Dejin to have the ability to please women, and I really underestimated her.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhi glanced at Yang Dejin subconsciously. Yang Dejin seemed to be hit by something, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he couldn't speak.
Or Madam Bai sensed the key point in Xie Zhi's words, and said, "'Your Highness'?"
In Linjing, with the surname Yang, the only one who can be called "His Royal Highness" is the prince named "Yu".
Madam Bai came to her senses, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "The women don't know that you are His Highness Prince Naiyu, please forgive me."
Only then did Yang Dejin regain her thoughts of leaving, her gaze shifted from Xie Zhi to Mrs. Bai, and she quickly stopped her big gift: "No! Ma'am, this can't be done, please get up!"
Xie Zhi raised his eyebrows: What, Yang Dejin hasn't revealed his identity yet?
Yang Dejin helped Mrs. Bai up, wiped off his sweat vainly, looked at Xie Zhi, and shouted thank you, sir.
"Your Highness, why did you suddenly come to find the next official?"
Xie Zhi's long hair was loose, and after being wet, it was only half-dried. There was no way to tie her hair like this, so she heard the announcement that it was Yang Dejin who came, so she simply came over like this.
So she wore a thin white cardigan, with her long hair draped behind her back, leaving large dark water stains on the clothes around her shoulder blades.
The Xie Zhi that Yang Dejin usually sees is thoughtful and stern; but now Xie Zhi is lazy and casual.
"I'm here, I want to go to the west of the city with you."
"What are you going to the west of the city for?"
"Go to the Jiubin embassy and check the work."
Xie Zhi responded, "Then wait for me, I'll go back to my room and change my clothes."
Then she turned to ask Mrs. Bai again, and said, "Master, can you help Zhirui entertain His Highness?"
How could Mrs. Bai refuse, although Yang Dejin's identity made her feel pressured, but through the chat just now, Mrs. Bai felt that she was not a bad child.
"Okay, you can go." Mrs. Bai replied.
Xie Zhi nodded, and also saluted Yang Dejin before returning to his bedroom.
It took some time to get my hair done, and it was two quarters of an hour before I returned to the front hall. Yang Dejin still chatted happily with Mrs. Bai, Xie Zhi was funny, thinking it was a good thing.
It was still early, and the two bid farewell to Mrs. Bai and went to the post where foreign envoys lived.
"Your Highness, is there something on my face?" Xie Zhi asked suddenly while walking on the road.
Peeking at the caught bag, Yang Dejin smiled awkwardly: "No, no..."
Yang Dejin: "..."
Yang Dejin: "...well, don't be angry when I tell you."
Xie Zhi took his time, looked at her and said hesitantly, "I just thought that Zhirui looked like a girl just now."
Xie Zhi was slightly stunned, and asked her after a while, "Is it because my hair is loose?"
Yang Dejin nodded hastily, and defended while nodding: "I don't mean anything else, you looked good just now!"
Yang Dejin saw Xie Zhi for the first time just now, and she admitted that she had made another mistake in outsourcing.
For a moment, she really wanted to think that Xie Zhi was an out-of-this-world woman, noble and abstinent. Especially Xie Zhi's squinting glance at her almost took Yang Dejin's soul away.
This is seduction! Yang Dejin's heart skipped a beat.
Yang Dejin was heartbroken, and when Xie Zhi went back to his room to change, she chatted with Mrs. Bai while spurning herself in her heart.
Yang Dejin: I'm sorry, I'm an indiscreet woman.
Now that Xie Zhi had returned to his usual appearance, Yang Dejin was still a little unfulfilled, so he sneaked glances at her from time to time.
After hearing this, Xie Zhi just lowered his head in thought, he didn't look angry, Yang Dejin couldn't figure out what kind of emotion she was in, so he called her name cautiously.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhi looked up at her suddenly: "What kind of girl does Your Highness like? Pretty?"
"Huh?" Yang Dejin was a little caught off guard, "Ah...the pretty ones, of course I like it."
"anything else?"
"Anything else? Well... gentle, powerful."
Xie Zhi:?
She can understand being gentle, why is being strong?
High in martial arts? Yin Niang kind?
Yang Dejin's thinking is very simple, it's just some lazy Muqiang mentality.
"Where's Zhirui?"
"..." Xie Zhi was silent for a while, and then replied, "I'm not interested."
Yang Dejin nodded approvingly: "Yes."
Xie Zhi's setting is an iceberg with high IQ, and his frigidity is also expected.
Xie Zhi followed Yang Dejin silently, looking at her back, wondering what she was thinking.
