The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1066: Gratitude
Chapter 1066: Gratitude
“Miss…” Wei Zhong stepped over the threshold, bowed to Bai Qingyan across the landscape screen, and said, “The Ninth Prince of Yan heard that Your Majesty had arrived in Pingyang City, so he brought people to ask for an audience, hoping to discuss the alliance with Your Majesty.”
Xiao Rongyan is here…
A faint smile appeared between Bai Qingyan’s brows. It just so happened that she was worried about the contents of the books left by Queen Ji. Xiao Rongyan was Queen Ji’s son, so he should know more about it than her.
“Please wait in the front hall of the Ninth Prince first. I’ll come after I change my clothes!” Bai Qingyan said as he picked up the bamboo slips beside him and clenched them in his hands.
Upon hearing this, Chunzhi calmly went to take Bai Qingyan’s clothes.

Xiao Rongyan, wearing a mask, was invited by Wei Zhong to the front hall for tea. Yue Shi and the guards who came with the Ninth Prince of Yan were left at the door of the main hall of the Prefect’s Mansion. They were patting the fallen snow on their bodies when they were attracted by the whistle of the Bai family’s secret guards.
Yue Shi used the excuse of needing to use the toilet urgently and followed the whistle to the side room at the back, where he saw the Bai family’s secret guard waiting for him behind a tree.
As soon as Yue Shi smiled, the Bai family’s secret guard grabbed Yue Shi by the back of his collar, took him to a dark side room and closed the door.
“Little brat! What’s wrong with you? Your uncle is gone… Why don’t you stay with the eldest lady? Why do you go to be a bodyguard for some regent of Yan State?” The Bai family’s secret guard tapped Yue Shi on the forehead. “You are the close bodyguard of your uncle. How can the eldest lady treat you badly? The eldest lady is the emperor of the Great Zhou. Is it possible that following the eldest lady will have a better future than following a prince of Yan State?”
Xiao Rongyan had mentioned this matter to Bai Qingyan before. He originally wanted Yue Shi to be by Bai Qingyan’s side to protect Bai Qingyan and the child, but he was afraid that his mother-in-law Dong would think that he kept Yue Shi by Bai Qingyan’s side to spy on information, so he still kept Yue Shi by his side, but when they went out… Xiao Rongyan let Yue Shi blend in with the guards and serve as just an ordinary guard.
Yue Shi knew that the Bai family’s secret guard treated him as one of their own, so he called him aside to say these words. He was very grateful.
Yue Shi bowed to the Bai family secret guard and said, “The Ninth Prince of Dayan once saved our master’s life, but he died before our master could repay him. So… Yue Shi wants to stay with the Ninth Prince of Dayan, which can be regarded as repaying the master’s kindness!”
As early as when he was planning to let Yue Shi stay by his side, Xiao Rongyan had already thought of an excuse, and Yue Shi would say the same thing, but… Yue Shi couldn’t help feeling guilty for deceiving the Bai family’s secret guards who treated him sincerely.
Seeing Yue Shi unable to hide his guilt, the Bai family’s secret guard opened his mouth and finally pursed his lips. No matter what… Yue Shi is a good child who knows how to repay his gratitude.
The Bai family’s secret guard put his big hand on Yue Shi’s head, and finally just said take care, then slipped out of the side room first.
Yue Shi stood in the side room without moving. The light from the lantern hanging in the corridor shone through the partition, reflecting half of Yue Shi’s face full of guilt…
After a long while, Yue Shi finally came out of the side room. He looked at the falling snow, which was illuminated by the lantern flames and looked golden yellow. He clenched his fists and didn’t even know how he would face the Bai family’s secret guards who trusted him so much when his master and the eldest girl got together again in the future.

After Xiao Rongyan changed two cups of hot tea, he saw Bai Qingyan holding Chunzhi’s hand and stepping over the threshold of the main door.
Xiao Rongyan looked at the elegant and calm Bai Qingyan, calmly lifted the hem of his clothes and stood up, bowing to Bai Qingyan: “I am an outsider, I greet your majesty…”
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Qingzhu stays outside, others don’t need to come in… I have something to discuss with the Ninth Prince of Dayan in secret.”
After saying that, she let go of Haruji’s hand.
Chunzhi hurriedly responded and left the main hall, closed the door for Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan, and retreated behind Shen Qingzhu in a proper manner, but still couldn’t help looking into the house.
Wei Zhong, who was standing opposite with a whisk in his arms, coughed softly and said with a smile, “Miss Chunzhi…”
Chunzhi was so frightened that she retracted her neck and dared not look again. She was still full of fear of Wei Zhong.
Wei Zhong still had that smiling face: “Your Majesty is always afraid of the cold, Miss Chunzhi, why don’t you go back and use the hot water bottle to warm up the bed for your Majesty, so that your Majesty can sleep more comfortably in a while.”
“Yes!” Chunzhi folded her hands in front of her abdomen, saluted, and slowly stepped back.
At this time, the door to the brightly lit main hall was closed. Wei Zhong and Shen Qingzhu were guarding both sides of the door. The guards brought by the Ninth Prince of Dayan stood under the corridor. They remained silent because of Shen Qingzhu’s aura, which was colder than the wind and snow.
Xiao Rongyan originally thought that Bai Qingyan must have missed him very much after not seeing him for so many days, at least… there should be some words of longing between the two of them when they sat together.
But as soon as they met, he just asked a few questions about Bai Qingyan and the child, she spread out the bamboo slips, waved for Xiao Rongyan to come over and take a look, and asked Xiao Rongyan about the questions about constitutional monarchy and republic recorded by Queen Xiao Rongyan on the bamboo slips. Bai Qingyan asked questions one after another like a machine gun.
Xiao Rongyan took off his mask and turned his head to look at Bai Qingyan, who was pointing at the words on the bamboo slips under the lamp, and was arguing carefully about each word. Her delicate and beautiful facial features were reflected in the light, especially her pair of dark and calm eyes, which were shining when she was serious, making people unable to help but be deeply attracted.
Xiao Rongyan smiled and helped her sit down on the chair. He knelt on one knee in front of Bai Qingyan and gently stroked Bai Qingyan’s increasingly obvious abdomen. Then he held the armrests on both sides of her body, stood up, touched Bai Qingyan’s nose with his nose, stared at her flawless skin outlined by the swaying lights, looked at her quietly with deep eyes, and mellow and low voice sounded, “It’s been a long time since we last met, have you missed me, Abao?”
Bai Qingyan, who was still immersed in the words left by Queen Ji, came back to his senses after hearing this and looking into Xiao Rongyan’s deep eyes.
She didn’t know if it was because of the lights, but she felt that Xiao Rongyan’s voice was becoming more charming, and her heartbeat accelerated unconsciously…
The two were very close, and their breaths were entangled together. Her whole body was filled with the familiar and steady breath of the man, which made her palms itch and her ears gradually warm. She suppressed her embarrassment and looked at Xiao Rongyan with a calm look: “Of course I do.”
After receiving a positive answer, Xiao Rongyan lowered his eyes and gently held her hand. After gently kissing her palm, he placed her hand on his shoulder and lowered his head to approach her…
When his nose touched her nose again, she subconsciously held her breath. Before he kissed her…all the strength in her body seemed to slip away silently.
She felt a crushing force on her lips, and she grasped Xiao Rongyan’s strong wrist and raised her head to meet him.
Because Bai Qingyan was pregnant, Xiao Rongyan didn’t dare to kiss her deeply. He didn’t know if it would have any impact on the child. He was also afraid that he would be unable to control his love and hurt Bai Qingyan and the child.
