The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 1030 Rich
In fact, Quan Yu understood that Bai Qingyan was more suitable to sit in this position than the crown prince.
He also believed that one day, he would be able to see the Great Zhou unify the world, and the eldest daughter of the Bai family would establish the Great Zhou into a… world of peace and prosperity. He believed that he would be able to see this day in his lifetime.
After Quan Yu left, Bai Qingyan instructed Wei Zhong: “Send a few people to Quan Yu’s hometown to buy a small courtyard for Quan Yu, and buy a few servants to take care of him…”
After thinking for a while, Bai Qingyan added: “If we can buy him some land and shops, then… he can live a worry-free life for the rest of his life.”
“Your Majesty is kind!” Wei Zhong nodded, “I will definitely get it done!”
That night, before Bai Qingyan went to bed, Lupin came back to report: “One of the young ladies escaped. I heard from Sun Wenyao that he was the leader of their secret guards. In order not to disturb the people, I have ordered the patrol camp to search secretly, but I think he will be near the Qin Mansion.”
“Well…” Bai Qingyan nodded, “There’s no need to chase this escaped one. The Jin Dynasty’s royal secret guards are all loyal to their masters. Since the death of the Jin Dynasty emperor, the secret guards are without a master, so they will naturally be determined to avenge their master. We can catch him at the kite competition held on Xiao Si’s birthday!”
“Also… let the word spread that on the day of the kite-flying competition, I and all the ladies of the Bai family will be present.” Bai Qingyan said.
Lupin nodded: “I understand, but… Miss, please don’t go to the kite competition! You are pregnant now, so you can’t be careless.”
“We’ll see on that day. Let’s get the news out first!”
“Yes!” Lupin responded and left.

On October 17th, which is Princess Gaoyi’s birthday, the royal family will hold a kite-flying competition outside the capital city for the people to enjoy together. Most of the contestants will be officials and their families, but ordinary people can also join in the fun, unlike in the past when ordinary people were kept out of the competition venue.
The palace even invited widows who had remarried in the capital city to participate in the competition in the name of Princess Gaoyi. The winner would receive a hundred gold coins and a prize from His Majesty.
Most of the widows who remarried did not come from wealthy families, so they were naturally eager to try when they heard that there was a hundred gold coins. Some people had already started practicing flying kites in the suburbs, waiting for the chance to win on October 17th.
The vendors were the first to start thinking about it. Some of them went to check out the locations early, intending to grab a good stall.
Those who have evil intentions will naturally start to make preparations early at this time.
Nowadays, in the capital city, the news that the new law encourages widows among the common people to remarry but does not allow widows from noble families to remarry is getting more and more intense. Some people have even been discussing in taverns that since there are so many advantages for widows to remarry, why don’t the Queen Mother and the ladies of the Bai family remarry?
Liu Rushi had been entrusted by Dong Changyuan and Li Mingrui to be a judge on the day of the kite competition. If anyone caused trouble, they asked Liu Rushi to help. There must be no problems in the promotion of the new policy. When Liu Rushi heard the rumors in the capital city, he was naturally annoyed and went to complain to Lu Jin.
After Lu Jin gave Liu Rushi a brief analysis, Liu Rushi understood… It turned out that this time Princess Gaoyi invited the remarried widows to participate in the kite competition and have fun with the people. She wanted to argue with those who spread rumors and were preparing to make trouble about the Queen Mother and the ladies of the Bai family not remarrying…
Liu Rushi immediately said goodbye to Lu’s house and went back to make preparations.

Fang was also restless in the room, pacing back and forth until she saw Pu Liu coming back through the carved window lattice, with a slender figure in a stone green short jacket and stone blue hems. Then she told the maid to go out first, and she sat down on the mahogany couch by the window, holding up her skirt.
Pu Liu entered the room through the curtains. Her fair, pointed chin was sweaty. She wiped the sweat off with a handkerchief, walked around the screen and passed through the curtains. She came forward to greet Fang and said, “Madam, the letter has been sent out. I have instructed you… Madam, you are in a hurry. Please send it to Fang’s house as soon as possible.”
Fang asked again: “Is the person who delivered the letter reliable?”
“Don’t worry, ma’am. We asked Mrs. Ye’s son to deliver the letter. This boy is very fast and Mrs. Ye is the most loyal.” Pu Liu said.
Despite what Pu Liu said, Fang still prayed in her heart that the boy from Mrs. Ye’s family could quickly deliver the letter to his brother, and that he must arrive in the capital city on October 17th no matter what.
“Madam, what happened?” Pu Liu was not curious about what was written in the letter, but seeing Fang’s restless look, she felt a little worried and asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to help Madam to think about it?”
The words were about to burst out of Fang’s mouth, but she swallowed them back.
It’s not that she didn’t trust Pu Liu, but if she told this to Pu Liu, Pu Liu would definitely stop her, as Pu Liu had always been timid.
Nowadays, everyone in the Bai family is calculating their own interests, and more and more people are talking about the widow of the Bai family in Dadu. They all say… The royal family should set an example, and if widows are to be encouraged to remarry, it should be the royal family that takes the lead.
When I think about the fact that the ladies of the Bai family are going to remarry, and perhaps Bai Qingyan is going to appoint an imperial husband, and then think about being able to marry the empress dowager… who wouldn’t be tempted?
Let’s not talk about Bai Qingyan’s appointment of the emperor’s husband. Of course, people from the same clan of the Bai family cannot be appointed, but what about the other wives of the Bai family? And what about the queen mother?
The people of the Bai clan have received news that someone wants to take advantage of the kite competition to cause trouble. If Bai Qingyan is really forced into a corner, the widows of the Bai family may say that they are willing to remarry in order to ensure the smooth implementation of Bai Qingyan’s new policy…
The people of the Bai clan think that it is better for the ladies of the Bai family to marry members of the Bai clan than to marry outsiders. Bai Qingyan has always respected his aunts. If anyone can marry Bai Qingyan’s aunt, Bai Qingyan will help them even for the sake of his own aunt!
Furthermore, the daughters-in-law of the Bai family are all outstanding in appearance. After all, they were the daughters-in-law carefully selected by the Grand Princess, and… their dowries are also extremely generous.
Some people even thought of marrying Dong. If he married Dong, he would be the stepfather of the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If someone had such an identity, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Bai Qingyan, would have to be respectful and filial to this stepfather.
After hearing about this, Bai Qihe went to the palace without delay to inform Bai Qingyan first and then discuss the issue with Bai Qingyan. After all, this was a critical time for Bai Qingyan to implement the new policy, and he was afraid that if he rashly dealt with the clan members, it would give others an excuse to criticize the new policy.
Fang overheard this today and she also had an idea. She asked someone to send a letter to her brother who had just lost his wife a few years ago. As long as she could achieve her goal, the worst that could happen was… she would have to use some dirty tricks to get the job done.
