The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1051: stunned
Chapter 1051: Surprise
“The young lady is pregnant, so don’t talk for too long. Let her have a good rest.” After Shen Qingzhu finished speaking, he bowed to Xiao Ruojiang and left first.
As soon as he entered the hall, Xiao Ruojiang saw his eldest daughter sitting under the lamp reading bamboo slips.
In the past few days, Bai Qingyan has been reading the books left by Queen Ji. He is extremely curious about the world of freedom and equality described by Queen Ji, and he is reluctant to put down the book once he picks it up.
Chen Qingsheng came back today. In order to let Chuntao, who had not seen Chen Qingsheng for many years, talk more with him, Bai Qingyan ordered Chuntao to send Chen Qingsheng out of the palace. Chunzhi served beside Bai Qingyan. She did not dare to persuade Bai Qingyan to rest, so she could only order people to turn on the lights in the entire bedroom for fear of hurting Bai Qingyan’s eyes.
“Chunzhi, you go out first…” Bai Qingyan closed the bamboo slips and said to Wei Zhong, “The envoy from Yan has been waiting for a long time. Wei Zhong, go and invite the envoy over. My brother and I will finish our conversation in a few words…”
Chunzhi and Wei Zhong left in response. Bai Qingyan put the bamboo slips aside and said to Xiao Ruojiang, “Brother, there is something… I need you to go to Hancheng as soon as possible.”
“Just give me your orders, young lady!”
Bai Qingyan took out the rough map of Tianfeng Kingdom drawn by Xiao Ruohai. Xiao Ruojiang hurriedly stepped forward to take it and looked at it carefully in his hands.
“Go to Hancheng and let the second girl focus on training the navy while implementing the new policy. It may come in handy in the future!”
After getting the map, Xiao Ruojiang roughly guessed what Bai Qingyan meant. Today, the elephant army of Tianfeng Kingdom is approaching. According to the news brought back by Xiao Ruohai and Chen Qingsheng, Tianfeng Kingdom has already mobilized the entire country to prepare for war. If one day Tianfeng Kingdom and Da Zhou go to war, they will surely come out in full force!
By then, the country of Tianfeng will be empty, and Da Zhou will lead the navy out of Linhai Ferry, enter the Changhe River… and launch a surprise attack directly to the rear of Tianfeng Country, which will definitely catch Tianfeng Country off guard.
“Xiao Ruojiang understands!” Xiao Ruojiang suddenly became motivated and put the map away. “I will set off now and will definitely hand the map to the second girl!”
“Thank you for your hard work, brother! After delivering the message… I will be by the second young lady’s side. Please help Jinxiu…” Bai Qingyan thought for a moment and said, “Let Qingzhu take care of the elephants in the military camp. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Xiao Ruojiang nodded, and said worriedly: “Young lady, you must take good care of yourself. Now that you are pregnant, you must rest more. As for the things on the battlefield in Southern Xinjiang, you don’t have to worry too much, Your Majesty!”
Seeing Xiao Ruojiang’s concerned look, she nodded: “Okay, I understand! Don’t worry, brother!”
Xiao Ruojiang came out of the hall and without delay, he packed his luggage and took his people to Hancheng.
As soon as Xiao Ruojiang left, Wei Zhong brought the envoys from Dayan to Zhou to ask for a meeting.
Bai Qingyan narrowed his eyes when he saw a man wearing Yan eunuch clothing and a hat, bending over in a respectful manner, with his features unclear. He then heard the Yan envoy to Zhou bow to Bai Qingyan and say, “Your Majesty, I am here on the orders of the Ninth Prince of Great Yan to present a birthday gift to Your Majesty. I wish the Queen of Great Zhou a long life.”
The eunuch following behind Envoy Yan also bowed deeply to Bai Qingyan.
“Thank you, Prince Yan Jiu, for your concern…” Bai Qingyan nodded.
“In addition, the Ninth Prince sent someone to deliver a letter to Your Majesty…” Envoy Yan turned his head to look at the eunuch behind him, motioning him to take out the letter.
The eunuch hurriedly handed the letter to Wei Zhong.
After taking the letter from Wei Zhong and opening it to take a look, Bai Qingyan said, “Wei Zhong asked the envoy to have tea in the side hall later. This… eunuch, please stay for a while. I have something to ask you.”
“Yes…” Wei Zhong smiled and made a gesture of invitation to the envoy from Yan.
The sound of the door closing was heard, and the eunuch who had been bowing his head raised his head…
The lights in the hall flickered, and the shiny floor reflected the swaying candlelight. The whole room was filled with warm colors, which also made the man’s tall and straight facial features more distinct.
His deep, dark eyes reflected the candlelight in the room, as well as Bai Qingyan who was sitting at the end of the heavy draperies, as if his eyes could only accommodate the beautiful woman sitting in the light.
“Why are you here? Did you meet Yue Shi?” Bai Qingyan supported himself and tried to get up.
Xiao Rongyan hurriedly walked towards Bai Qingyan: “Sit down and don’t move!”
He untied the strap of his hat, put it aside, and helped Bai Qingyan sit down, staring at Bai Qingyan quietly: “Don’t worry, I met him on the way here, and I already know about Xiang Jun’s affairs…”
“You knew that I wouldn’t return to Yan State to make arrangements, so why did you come here?” Bai Qingyan frowned.
Xiao Rongyan smiled and stroked Bai Qingyan’s frowning brows with his fingers, saying with a smile: “I don’t want to miss your birthday…”
Looking at Xiao Rongyan in eunuch’s attire, Bai Qingyan couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips. This time, Bai Qingyan really didn’t expect Xiao Rongyan to come.
Xiao Rongyan looked down at the clothes on her body and said, “After getting married, I no longer have the identity of Xiao Rongyan, so it will be more difficult to enter the palace. I can only dress like this.”
“Now that Tianfeng State has appeared with its elephant army, Yan State needs you to take charge. You really don’t have to come all the way here just for a birthday.” Bai Qingyan said to Xiao Rongyan.
Xiao Rongyan raised his hand to tuck the loose hair on Bai Qingyan’s temples behind her ears, and couldn’t help but stroke her cheek with his fingers, his movements gentle and restrained.
He looked down at Bai Qingyan’s abdomen and gently stroked it: “It is the most difficult for a woman to be pregnant. It is all my fault. I did not control myself… and let you get pregnant at this time.”
She smiled and gently placed her palm on the back of Xiao Rongyan’s hand: “Now that the child is here, let’s not blame anyone.”
Xiao Rongyan looked up at Bai Qingyan, who was smiling peacefully and calmly, and recalled what Murong Li had said to him when he learned that “Xiao Rongyan” and Bai Qingyan were getting married and that Bai Qingyan was pregnant.
“Speaking of children…” Xiao Rongyan looked up at Bai Qingyan, his brows stained with a faint smile, “Ali knows that you and I are married and have children. I agree with what you said… The two countries will decide the winner based on whose national policy can make the people rich and the country strong, so as to avoid war and become one country.”
Bai Qingyan was startled, and looked at Xiao Rongyan in astonishment…
Although Murong Li is young, he has a lot of ideas in his mind.
When Great Yan was in danger, it was the people who supported Great Yan. Xiao Rongyan always felt that if he lost Yan… he would be sorry for the people who had gone through so much hardship with the Yan royal family.
But Ali said that the people defended the State of Yan because they knew that Yan’s new policies would benefit them and allow them to live a good life. The victory or defeat of the two countries would be decided by which country’s national policy could make the people rich and strong, and the people would certainly support it.
“Before I even returned to China, the news of my marriage was first reported back to Dayan. Later, the news of your pregnancy came, and Ah Li came to talk to me in person.”
