Chapter 1228 First Year Banquet
Seeing Bai Jun and Murong Yao singing the same tune, Old Man Bai looked at them suspiciously.
"Is it really so magical?" Old Master Bai asked curiously again.
"Of course, grandpa. Whoever gets this thousand-year-old painting paper depends on chance. If it wants to leave and choose another master, I have nothing to say." Murong Yao nodded.
"Yao'er, just be open-minded." Old Master Bai smiled when he heard that.
Bai Chun, who was standing by, rolled his eyes when he heard this, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Grandpa, let's go back and rest first." Bai Jun said and then pulled Murong Yao away.
East Palace.
"Did they really say that?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned and looked at the secret guard kneeling on the ground.
"That's right, Your Highness. We heard it clearly." The secret guard said with certainty.
"I never thought that this thousand-year-old painting paper actually has its own consciousness. According to what they said, Murong Yao can't wait to get rid of the thousand-year-old painting paper..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell into deep thought.
"Your Highness, you are of noble status. It should not be difficult to make the Wannian Painting Paper choose you as its main character." The secret guard raised his head and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"You are wrong. For a spiritual consciousness like this that has been formed over tens of thousands of years, the choice of its master is not based on identity." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was relatively sober.
"Your Highness, Miss Bai Chun, the illegitimate daughter of the Imperial Master's Mansion, wants to see you." A guard came in to report.
"This is the imperial palace. How can a concubine like her enter just like that?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said coldly upon hearing this.
"Your Highness, Miss Bai took out this." The guard took out a jade pendant.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recognized at a glance that this was the one he had given away before.
"Is it her? Let her in." After seeing the jade pendant, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately agreed to let Bai Chun in.
"Yes." The guard responded and turned to leave.
Not long after, Bai Chun was brought in.
"Bai Chun pays respect to His Highness." Bai Chun bowed as soon as he came in.
"Why are you asking for an audience with the jade pendant?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Bai Chun with cold eyes.
"Your Highness, Bai Chun has something to report." Bai Chun raised his head and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
She used to be obsessed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but ever since she met Murong Yao, his figure has been lingering in her mind.
"What's the matter?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at her.
So Bai Jun repeated to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince what Murong Yao had said about the thousand-year painting paper.
"What is your purpose in coming here to tell me all this?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Bai Chun with a cold gaze.
"Bai Chun is just different. Your Highness was kept in the dark and was eventually hurt by the spirit in the ten thousand year old painting paper." Bai Chun looked sincere.
"I won't do that. You can leave now." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's attitude remained indifferent.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Bai Chun obviously didn't want to leave yet.
"This is a reward for you." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took out a bottle of medicine and threw it to her.
"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness." Bai Chun left excitedly with the pills.
"Your Highness, Bai Chun is not as pure as Bai Jun after all. He has a petty air." said the secret guard.
"After all, there is a difference between legitimate children and illegitimate children." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince replied.
This secret guard grew up with the prince, so he dares to say certain things.
"What about the position of the Crown Princess?" the secret guard asked tentatively.
He really felt that Bai Chun was not worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the Emperor seemed to be interested in having His Royal Highness the Crown Prince marry Bai Chun.
"Bai Chun is not worthy, but it won't be Bai Jun either. My Crown Princess must be the person in my dream." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought of the woman who often appeared in his dreams, and a smile appeared on his lips.
This was a gentleness that even the secret guards who had been with him since childhood had never seen before.
"Your Highness, how can you take dreams seriously?" The secret guard was a little confused when he saw this.
In fact, he suspected that his own Crown Prince was entangled by something unclean, otherwise why would he dream about the same woman so often?
"I believe she is real." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes were full of certainty.
"Your Highness, if that's the case, why don't you draw a picture of the girl so we can go out and look for her?" The secret guard looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He thought that if he found the person, that would be the best. If not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could give up.
"You're right. Why didn't I think of it before?" The prince's eyes lit up when he heard that.
So he started asking people to prepare brushes and paper so that he could concentrate on painting.
It has to be said that people who are obsessed with drawing paper usually have excellent painting skills, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is one of them.
Soon, a stunning woman appeared on the paper.
"Your Highness, this woman is too perfect. Although it is just a painting, it gives people a sense of oppression that makes them dare not look at her. Does she really exist?" The secret guard looked at the woman in the painting with a confused look in his eyes.
"You don't know that the girl I drew, neither in appearance nor in aura, is even one-tenth as good as in my dream." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled.
If Yan Li and the others were here, they would definitely be very surprised, because the woman drawn by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was clearly Yan Li!
"Your Highness, let's draw a few more paintings based on this one and start searching," said the secret guard.
"Okay." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today is Bai Qing’s hundred-day banquet, and the Imperial Master’s Mansion is bustling with activity.
"Third Grandpa, you are here." Bai Jun and Murong Yao waited for the Third Elder at the door.
"Since this concerns your lifelong event, I naturally rushed here as soon as I received the news." The third elder smiled.
"Third uncle, please come in. Today is my brother's first birthday party." Bai Jun enthusiastically led the third elder into the Imperial Master's Mansion.
"Old man, old man..." Just as the third elder was about to follow Bai Jun into the National Master's Mansion, an old woman rushed in front of him and looked at him with red eyes.
The third elder was stunned when he saw this!
The others were also stunned!
"Who are you?" The third elder felt that the old woman in front of him was very unfamiliar.
"Old man, you are so cruel. You have been gone for twenty years. Don't you recognize me? I am your wife Qingcheng. Thank you Qingcheng." The old woman raised her head and looked at the third elder.
"Xie Qingcheng?" When the third elder heard the name, he suddenly felt very sad.
"Old man, have you really forgotten me?" Xie Qingcheng stared at the third elder with wide eyes.
"Sorry, you may have recognized the wrong person. I really can't remember you." The third elder shook his head.
"Wu Jinchen, you forgot me, you really forgot me." The old woman cried and laughed when she heard this.
"Old lady, today is the anniversary party of our Imperial Master's Mansion. Why don't you come in and have a drink first, and we can talk about anything else later?" Bai Jun looked at the old woman gently.
"Miss Bai, do you believe me?" The old woman was a little surprised when she heard this.
"Old lady, no matter whether what you said is true or not, it's my duty to invite you to have a drink at the wedding." After saying this, Bai Jun motioned to the servant beside him to help the old lady in.
"Jun'er, I really have no impression of her, you..." The third elder hesitated to speak.
