156 Waiting for the Movie
Princess Pingyuan’s birthday party.
Mo Shaohua came to pick up Bai Liran early in the morning, and he had also prepared Bai Liran's congratulatory gift.
A few days ago, Bai Liran set a date for the opening of Zhuangyuan Building, and took advantage of her free time to promote it, just waiting for the opening the day after tomorrow.
At the end of the month, Bai Zixu paid all the monthly money to them, and handed over the hospital's revenue and account books to Bai Eran.
Since the opening of the medical clinic, not counting Princess Pingyuan's consultation fees, excluding the silver taels spent on purchasing herbal medicines, and Chu Mu and Tian Yuehe's monthly money, the net income has been more than sixty taels.
Chu Mu would also directly communicate with Bai Zixu when it came to purchasing herbal medicines for the medical clinic, so Bai Lianran didn't need to worry about it.
With Bai Zixu, Bai Lianran doesn't have to worry too much about business and family matters.
Bai Ranran also completely trusted Bai Zixu and left all matters to him.
In addition to the voice in Kyoto, Bai Linran also took out all the remaining silver and asked Bai Zixu to buy hundreds of acres of fertile land, preparing to become a small landlord safely.
In the carriage going to Princess Pingyuan's mansion, Mo Shaohua took Bai Lanran's hand and frowned slightly: "Men and women are separated during the banquet. I won't be with you then. You should be careful, Yun Shu."
I will also be nearby to protect you."
"Who would look for trouble at the eldest princess's birthday party?"
Bai Ranran felt that he was a little too worried.
However, he is a cautious person, especially when it comes to her matters, he arranges everything in detail, for fear that she will be in some danger.
So when I think about the questions she asked a few days ago, I feel that I really have no conscience.
No, for Princess Pingyuan's birthday party, the female relatives of Dingguo Palace and Zhenguo Palace will probably all attend.
Those two troublemakers, Jiang Wanyue and Ning Jinman, are really annoying with their chattering.
If it weren't for their status, it would be very troublesome to kill them directly, she would have...
Forget it, keep some humanity.
It's not a crime that will lead to death, but it can't make them live an easy life.
Ning Jinman, apart from talking too much, did not cause any real harm to her, but not Jiang Wanyue. She must settle Jiang Wanyue's debt.
After all, Bai Lianran has some humanity in her, but not much.
I don’t have the heart to go back without revenge after being targeted for assassination all the time.
Princess Pingyuan was the favorite sister of Emperor Chengde. Her birthday banquet was very grand, and dignitaries and relatives of the emperor all took this opportunity to fawn over her.
During the theater viewing session at the beginning of the banquet, Bai Lunran watched the whole story of The Prince, which she had never seen before.
All the princes were present, even the fourth prince, who rarely appeared in public.
Of course, the prince who was waiting to be abandoned did not come.
A few days ago, the prince colluded with the Western Territory and wanted the Western Territory to send troops. He then went to the Western Territory to negotiate peace as an envoy, and made contributions to the peace talks to stabilize his position.
He promised the Western Territory that after he ascended the throne, he would provide the Western Territory with the benefits it needed.
As for this benefit, Mo Shaohua didn't say anything, and she didn't ask any more questions.
Because Bai Liran interfered during the palace banquet, his plan failed. He was worried that the envoy from the Western Region would expose him, so he sent people overnight to kill the envoy from the Western Region. In the end, the envoy from the Western Region survived and finally confessed.
Now he has been imprisoned by Emperor Chengde.
But now, the Western Region has learned that an envoy from another country has been killed, and is already preparing for war.
The prince had caused such a big trouble. Even if the emperor wanted to keep his position as prince, he would not be able to do so. After all, the other members of the court would not let him act so recklessly.
These are all things Mo Shaohua told her. Of course, Mo Shaohua knows best whether they are true or false.
Mo Shaohua has been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger for many years, and now he is finally closing the net.
Bai Ranran did not participate in the whole process, but she also knew that his next target should be King Kang.
Bai Ranran couldn't understand a word of the opera that was being sung on the stage.
There was some commotion around her, and she didn't know where her thoughts were wandering.
When she came back to her senses, she found that she was looking at the fourth prince in front of her on the left. The fourth prince turned his head slightly and seemed to be sizing her up from the corner of his eye.
Just one glance made her feel cold all over, as if ice shards shot out of the fourth prince's eyes and all fell on her.
Feeling Bai Ranran's hand tighten, Mo Shaohua turned his gaze to her and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Ran'er is cold?"
Bai Ranran wore a lot of clothes today, and the stage was also in the main hall, with a brazier burning around it, so it wasn't too cold.
Bai Ranran withdrew her gaze, shook her head at him, approached him, and lowered her voice, "I think that fourth prince is not simple."
She didn't know why, but that vague look made her feel that the fourth prince was not a good person.
She remembered that Mo Shaohua told her that the fourth prince was a low-key person and rarely went out.
The more mysterious a person is, the more dangerous he is. Mo Shaohua couldn't even find out his details. How could this person be so simple?
Mo Shaohua squeezed Bai Ranran's hand and smiled at her, "Ran'er can watch the show with peace of mind. Don't think about anything else."
The fourth prince is not simple, he naturally knows it.
If the Fourth Prince didn't embarrass him, he didn't have to do anything to him, but if he wanted to harm him, he had plenty of ways to deal with him.
He didn't want Bai Linran to get involved, so he wouldn't talk to her until the dust settled.
After listening to several plays, the birthday banquet finally began.
Because there were many noble family members at the birthday banquet, the banquets for men and women were separated.
Bai Ranran didn't really like places with so many people, but when entering the royal gate, one still had to abide by the rules.
She sat down at the banquet under the arrangement, waiting boredly for everyone to come and prepare to start cooking.
People came one after another, and the wives of dignitaries around her were complimenting each other and chatting with each other, so they were not hypocritical.
Bai Ranran didn't want to chat with anyone. When others talked to her, she smiled and responded politely.
When no one talked to her, she just looked at the women who were pretending to smile and flattering them, as if they were watching a show.
She felt that this play was more exciting than the one she heard just now.
When the banquet was about to begin, a figure suddenly sat down in the empty seat next to Bai Lanran.
She didn't care who was sitting next to her, but the smell of makeup on that person was too familiar to her.
Jiang Wanyue looked at her with a gentle smile and greeted her hypocritically, "Sister Bai, I looked like you from a distance, so I thought of coming over to talk to you, so I wouldn't disturb you."
Tsk tsk tsk!
I don't know if this "Sister Bai" sound was made by grinding a few teeth.
Bai Lanran usually doesn't want to pretend, but when it comes to pretending to be Green Tea and White Lotus, no one is her match.
She looked at Jiang Wanyue with feigned surprise, her amber eyes filled with dazzling stars, and responded happily, "Sister Jiang, I haven't seen you for a while, and I was looking for you just now."
She had a smile on her face and rolled her eyes in her heart.
What kind of coward are you pretending to be with her? The trouble that happened before was because she was placed under house arrest by Duke Ding. I am afraid no one in Kyoto doesn't know about it. Now it is useless to pretend.
This Jiang Wan Yue is very gloomy. If he comes to find her, he must have some bad intentions in his heart.
Jiang Wanyue didn't seem to expect Bai Linran to be so cooperative. She was stunned for a moment, then she quickly cleared up the surprise in her eyes and started chatting with Bai Linran with a smile.
Seeing her and Bai Ranran acting like this, the people around started talking quietly.
It is said that Jiang Wanyue has been in love with Prince Ning for many years, but was intercepted by ordinary people of unknown origin. He even came to look for trouble a few days ago. Why is he so enthusiastic now?
I don’t know if it’s a matter of rumors or whether the two of them acted well?
