The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1020: straight to the door
Chapter 1020: Open the Door and Enter
Bai Jinzhi was afraid of the family rules, so he listened to Lupin and put away the whip, shouting, “Don’t say here that you disdain to serve in the same court with women. Don’t say that you haven’t served in the court yet, you are really capable… Wait until you become a tribute student and get the first place in the palace examination. If you say this in front of the empress, I, Bai Jinzhi, will believe that you are brave! If you only show off your ability with words, you are a coward!”
The men who had been hiding here and there and were whipped by Bai Jinzhi finally poked their heads out from behind the high table. Seeing Lupin in official uniform stopping Bai Jinzhi, they boldly shouted, “Sir, please take care of this crazy woman. We were talking when she came up and whipped us without saying a word! We all have honors and titles. Even if we meet the Lord in the government office, we don’t have to kneel down and we can’t be tortured! This crazy woman actually dared to whip us!”
“That’s right! This is the capital, under the feet of the emperor! You can’t just ignore it, sir!”
Bai Jinzhi, who had already put away the whip, raised his hand and whipped again, accurately hitting the shouting man on the mouth.
Lupin was already unhappy when he heard the word “crazy woman”. This time, Bai Jinzhi didn’t stop him from whipping people. He simply stepped aside to block the door, straightened his sleeves and stood aside steadily: “You three have already committed a crime by criticizing the Empress’s new policy, and you have also spoken rudely to Princess Gaoyi. Princess Gaoyi is magnanimous and has rewarded you with a few whips… Not sending you to the court is already a special mercy.”
When Bai Jinzhi heard Lupin speaking for him, he swung the whip even more vigorously. The room was filled with crackling sounds. The shiny mahogany table was whipped far away by Bai Jinzhi’s whip.
When the three heard that the person in front of them was Princess Gaoyi, they immediately thought of Bai Jinzhi, the fourth daughter of the Bai family, who was once known as the “heroine” in the capital city. She dared to beat even the sons of noble families, let alone people like them.
Probably because the Bai family encountered difficulties and then moved back to their hometown Shuoyang, Bai Jinzhi was not in the capital city over the years, and everyone gradually forgot about the fourth daughter of the Bai family, who was so impetuous, chivalrous, and had a bad temper in this capital city.
Now, the fourth daughter of the Bai family is back again…
The people watching the excitement outside were talking about it, but most of them were very happy that the fourth daughter of the Bai family had returned. The fourth daughter inherited the Bai family’s spirit and was very protective of the people. She had whipped the people many times to do things for the people and never did anything to harm the people. How could the people not be happy?
Besides, the fourth daughter of the Bai family, at such a young age, had fought on the battlefield to defend her country and was a great contributor to the destruction of Liang. How could she not inspire awe?
The screams in the shop continued for a while. Lupin thought it was almost over and called out in a low voice: “Fourth Miss! Fourth Miss… It’s almost over! Let these guys learn a lesson. The eldest lady is still waiting…”
Hearing this, the breathless Bai Jinzhi put away the whip and hung it behind his waist, saying, “If you dare to criticize the new policies of the empress or speak rudely to me again, you will be punished with a stick… If you criticize the new policies and affect their implementation, you will be imprisoned. Since you are scholars, you should know that if you criticize the new policies and affect their implementation, even the imperial examinations will be affected. I, the princess, cannot bear to ruin your future because you are scholars. I also want to give you this opportunity to prove that you are better than women after studying hard for more than ten years! Don’t let me down!”
Bai Jinzhi’s words made Lupin look at her with new eyes. In the past, the Fourth Young Lady could only whip in a hurry, and she was not capable of coming up with so many well-reasoned and logical reasons.
“Next year’s spring exam… you three! This princess will wait and see if you are really better than women!”
Someone outside heard this and suddenly shouted “OK”. Bai Jinzhi then felt refreshed and turned to walk out of the shop.
After leaving the shop, Bai Jinzhi finally realized that he had not yet chosen a gift for his nephew or niece. He frowned and turned his head…
The three of them had just been beaten by Bai Jinzhi, and after learning of Bai Jinzhi’s identity, they were terrified that they might implicate the young master of their family. They were so scared that the three of them huddled together and backed away repeatedly, fearing that Bai Jinzhi would come in with the whip again.
Bai Jinzhi suddenly lost interest in choosing a gift and thought about waiting for the right opportunity to choose the same one for his nephew and niece.
Bai Jinzhi glanced at the man in black clothes who was waiting for her with a horse. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and a little sweetness appeared in her eyes. Her face was slightly red. She jumped onto the horse with a cheerful posture, pulled the reins and said, “Let’s go! Let’s go see my elder sister!”
The man in black nodded respectfully, and even when he lowered his head he did not hide the smile on the corner of his lips.
Lupin sensed something unusual and looked calmly at the man in black clothes and hair tied with a black ribbon. It seemed… he had to check the identity of this boy, so as not to deceive their simple-minded fourth daughter.
Bai Jinzhi had been to the palace before, but never before had she walked so briskly. She was anxious to see her eldest sister, so she walked very fast.
Wei Zhong, who was guarding outside the main hall, saw Bai Jinzhi climbing the stairs from afar. A smile appeared between his brows and he hurriedly stepped forward: “Fourth Miss…”
“Wei Zhong?” Bai Jinzhi probably didn’t expect that Wei Zhong, who was by her grandmother’s side, would now serve Bai Qingyan. After a moment of surprise, she said, “I’m here to see my elder sister!”
“His Majesty has already known that the fourth young lady has arrived, so there is no need to inform her. She can just walk in through the door…”
Bai Jinzhi smiled and took off the whip from his waist and threw it to Wei Zhong. He quickly ran to the outside of the hall, secretly pushed the door open a crack, and looked inside…
Seeing his elder sister sitting at the agarwood desk reviewing memorials, he heard her voice before she opened her mouth, “You were so furious when you came to the capital, and now you’re being quiet?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Jinzhi chuckled, walked in and closed the palace door, then trotted over to Bai Qingyan, bowed and sat down opposite Bai Qingyan: “I was originally going to choose gifts for my future nephew and niece! Who knew it would be messed up… I’m so angry!”
Looking at the table full of memorials, Bai Jinzhi said again: “Eldest sister! You are pregnant now, how can you be so tired?”
Bai Qingyan dipped the brush in ink and simply handed it to Bai Jinzhi: “You come and share the burden with your elder sister…”
Bai Jinzhi opened his mouth and smiled awkwardly: “Forget it! It’s not that I don’t want to share the burden with my elder sister. Leading troops to fight… Xiao Si is the best choice, but when it comes to writing, I can’t go against my conscience and say that I am good at it!”
Bai Qingyan was amused by Bai Jinzhi and wrote on the memorial: “Then tell me, in all honesty, why did you leave General Zhao behind and come back first?”
First update, my dears. I was busy all day yesterday, so I won’t be able to make the three updates in the early morning today. I’ll update one first, and the remaining two will be made up before noon today!
