Was she trying to speak up for her? But there was really no need, there was really no need!
Bai Xiangxiu gave the old woman a bitter look, then lowered her head in silence.
The old woman tugged at her sleeves in confusion. What did she say wrong?
But when she saw Prince's satisfied expression, she said: "This King will go in and take a look. Jiaoyue, you can do whatever you want."
Song Jiaoyue had originally followed him to see the old madame, but he didn't expect her to be asleep.
So he said: "Then I'll go back first." He looked straight ahead and walked out.
No, if he left now, she wouldn't have another chance.
Bai Xiangxiu immediately said to the old woman: "Old Woman, this concubine wants to go outside for a while, to … that."
The old woman immediately understood. Seeing that she was serving the old madame well and didn't put on any airs of a master, she said: "Then go. Be careful with your hat."
"Understood."
Bai Xiangxiu was a modern person. She had the idea that everyone was equal, especially to the older people.
Therefore, she smiled at everyone and did not have the self-awareness of being a master.
In fact, sometimes she also wanted to put on airs. Weren't all transmigrated women like this? Wherever they went, they would kill in all directions, afraid that they would be harmed.
But her philosophy was to seduce the supporting male lead and keep herself safe.
She always felt that she could return to her original world.
She wasn't like other seniors, as long as she came here, she would be at ease.
Compared to this place, she preferred her previous life.
Planting flowers and grass, her mood was very calm.
She had to continue working hard. She clenched her fists and chased after him.
This relay station wasn't very big. In order to let the nobles rest in peace, the courtyard was very quiet.
She only had Xiao Shi by her side, so she immediately glared at her and said: "Keep an eye on me." She made a begging gesture and chased after the supporting male lead, Song Jiaoyue.
"Prince Song, please wait." Her voice was very soft, but Song Jiaoyue heard it and walked even faster.
However, she did not give up and said, "I'm sorry. It was a misunderstanding that day."
Song Jiaoyue stopped and turned to look at her. He didn't know if there was any misunderstanding about sending mandarin ducks.
Taking advantage of his surprise, Bai Xiangxiu immediately walked over. When she was three steps away from him, she said, "Actually, it's like this. The Old Madame forced me to give that sachet to the Prince."
"Oh?" Song Jiaoyue furrowed his brows. Why had something meant for the prince ended up in his hands?
"Actually, I had prepared another gift for you that day, but I accidentally gave you the wrong one."
In order to end the battle quickly, she didn't care whether the other party agreed or not and directly handed the item to the servant at the side. This way, she wouldn't personally deliver it to him, so he wouldn't be able to nitpick even if he wanted to!
Then, he turned around and ran. He didn't even care about Shika's gaze as he hurriedly ran away. However, because he was running too fast, he accidentally fell to the ground.
Xiao Shi jumped in fright and hurriedly reached out to pull her up. Fortunately, she caught her.
She understood Madame Xiu's daring actions very well, but she felt that it wasn't appropriate for her to talk about her master's matters. She could only wonder in her heart.
The manservant glanced at his young master. The thing in his hand was like a hot potato, how should he deal with it?
Song Jiaoyue was also afraid of being discovered, so he didn't say anything and returned to the carriage with the servant. At this time, they heard that the road had been cleared and everyone was ready to set off.
The servant asked from outside, "Master, have you thrown that thing away?" He hadn't expected that the Prince's concubine would be so daring.
Song Jiaoyue originally wanted to tell him to throw it away, but then he thought about how she was so anxious to explain things. It didn't seem like she had any improper thoughts about him.
As a result, he said, "Bring it in."
The servant felt that a beauty was indeed an existence that was hard to resist. Even someone as elegant as his master couldn't escape the charms of a beauty.
As a result, he handed over the book. It really was just a book, and it was even an introductory reading material.
Song Jiaoyue naturally knew that the gift was definitely inside the book. Otherwise, why would she give him a book?
In particular, there was a section at the bottom of the book. Using his slender fingers to flip it open, he saw that there was actually a very special bookmark inside. Written on it was a poem: "Black hair doesn't study hard early, white hair makes me regret studying late."
He couldn't help but be startled. No matter how he looked at it, this didn't seem like a gift from a woman to a man she admired. Could it be that he had misunderstood her before?
Or was she afraid that he would hate her, so she made up for it with this gift?
Regardless, these two lines of the poem were easy to understand and profound. It was very suitable to be used as a bookmark to constantly remind him.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally accepted it. He only hoped that she wouldn't do such things in the future.
But there were very few women in the world who were so daring as to give him something for no reason at all.
Speaking of which, they really didn't have much interaction. Then, there could only be one reason for her to give him a gift: Sir Jiaoyue's talent.
After thinking about it, this was the only reason he could think of. It seemed that this woman was someone who loved talent even though she was in the boudoir.
Just because she loved talent, she gave him a gift. Moreover, it was a man?
Song Jiaoyue was still at a loss as to why a madam would give him a gift out of the blue, even after the carriage had started moving. Although the gift looked innocent, his thoughts weren't innocent at all, were they?
On the way, he wanted to throw it away several times, but in the end, he chose to keep it. He simply felt that this bookmark was a very good and elegant object.
Bai Xiangxiu was also going all out. In order to have some interaction with him, she could only use this kind of brainless and direct method.
Regardless of whether he was confused or not, she was thinking about what to do next.
Xiao Shi looked at her from the carriage. Ye-mama couldn't stand the bumpiness of the carriage and had already returned to the prince's mansion. She looked at Bai Xiangxiu with red eyes. She wanted to ask, but didn't dare to.
"Don't look at me like that. Actually, last time when I went out to find the Huo Er, Prince Song helped me, so I gave him a gift to thank him."
Bai Xiangxiu lied through her teeth. In fact, she didn't even know if Song Jiaoyue recognized her.
Xiao Shi still glared at her and said, "Even so, you can't …" So bold. Wasn't this a private gift?
"You know that the matter of that day can't be told to outsiders, but if it wasn't for Prince Song's help, I would have almost been molested by that lecher. This gift is still small."
Bai Xiangxiu used her sleeve to wipe at the corners of her tearless eyes. This action immediately earned Xiao Shi's sympathy. She actually felt that there wasn't anything wrong with her mistress' actions. After all, Bai Xiangxiu had helped them a lot.
"Then, there can't be a next time." If there was a next time, she would be scared to death.
"En, naturally there won't be a next time."
She was also scared to death. Wasn't it just giving a gift? She had to be afraid of this and that. Life in ancient times was really too much.
After persevering for a while, they finally arrived at Long Hua Temple. Today, the honored guests were welcoming them. The little monks of Long Hua Temple were also very busy.
Among the many honored guests, this prince with a different surname was very prestigious. After all, there weren't many families with power, money, and background in the capital.
Therefore, the female guests were quickly arranged into a very large guest house. This guest house had about a dozen rooms, enough for them to stay in for the night.
However, they didn't expect that next door was Minister Lin's residence. It was the residence of the female lead, Lin Qianzi, and Madame Lin.
They were actually arranged so close. Moreover, the female lead was going to escape tonight. Was this really a front row seat for her to watch a good show?
Unfortunately, Bai Xiangxiu wanted to stay far away from them. She didn't want to get involved.
Other than the supporting male lead, she really didn't want to talk to anyone.
