The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1184: around the corner
Chapter 1184 is just around the corner
“I understand, elder sister!” Bai Jinzhao looked up at his elder sister and answered first.
“Go!” Bai Qingyan stood up, pulled his cloak closer and said with a smile.
“Eldest sister, have a good rest!” Bai Jinhua took Bai Jinse’s hand and said to Bai Qingyan, “I heard that there is a field of red plums in Yechengguan. When you wake up tomorrow, the three of us will pick some for you!”
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Okay…”
After watching his three sisters leave, Wei Zhong stepped forward and said with a smile, “Your Majesty, it’s time for you to rest.”
Bai Qingyan nodded and responded with a smile: “Eunuch Wei, you have worked hard, you should take a rest too!”
Wei Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded: “Your Majesty, don’t worry, this old servant… is not tired, and can still help Your Majesty go to bed.”
“Rest! Only if you have a good rest can you protect me…” Bai Qingyan turned to look at Wei Zhong and gently stroked his abdomen, “The safety of my child and I on our way back to the capital city is entrusted to Eunuch Wei!”
Wei Zhong was stunned, but saw Bai Qingyan smiling and turning to go back into the house. Wei Zhong hurried forward to open the curtain for Bai Qingyan: “Your Majesty, the bed has been warmed up, and I have asked someone to bring in the hot water. Your Majesty, I will call someone to serve you later.”
“No need, I can do it myself.”
Bai Qingyan nodded and walked into the house, untied his fox fur coat and draped it over the screen, washed his face with hot water, and sitting down on the couch with his sleeves clenched in his hands, gently stroking the two little tigers that Xiao Rongyan had carved for the children, his eyes full of tenderness.
For the rest of his life, Bai Qingyan’s biggest wish is that his family and loved ones are safe… It is enough if the new policy is implemented smoothly.
The window opposite Bai Qingyan was suddenly pushed open. Bai Qingyan looked up and saw Xiao Rongyan jumping in.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Xiao Rongyan who came in from the window and closed it again. She asked him, “Why did you come here suddenly? Weren’t you discussing battle strategies with Ayu and the others?”
Xiao Rongyan had a chill on his body and did not approach Bai Qingyan. He took off his mask and untied his cloak, casually draped the cloak over the screen, stretched out his hands to warm them over the brazier, and said with a smile: “You have already arranged everything, what else is there to discuss, but it’s just a formality.”
Bai Qingyan looked at Xiao Rongyan stretching out his hand to warm himself by the fire, picked up the upside-down cup and poured Xiao Rongyan a cup of hot tea. Seeing Xiao Rongyan walking towards her, she pushed the cup to the couch beside her.
Xiao Rongyan did not sit down. He rubbed his hands, knelt on one knee in front of Bai Qingyan, and placed his hands on Bai Qingyan’s abdomen: “Let the child get familiar with my voice first, otherwise… he really won’t know that I am his father.”
Noticing the child moving, Xiao Rongyan looked up at Bai Qingyan in surprise: “It moved!”
“Doctor Hong said that it is normal for the baby to move frequently during this month, but the child is very well-behaved… He always sleeps well when I am busy on weekdays!” said Bai Qingyan.
Xiao Rongyan put his ear to Bai Qingyan’s abdomen and listened carefully to the movements in Bai Qingyan’s abdomen.
He gently wrapped his arms around Bai Qingyan’s waist, feeling extremely grateful to have met Bai Qingyan, and grateful to God for giving him and Bai Qingyan a child. Only Bai Qingyan and the child could calm the anger and killing intent in his heart, and make his rock-hard heart gradually soften.
“I will be leaving early tomorrow morning…” Xiao Rongyan looked up at Bai Qingyan, “Abao, can I hold you and our child tonight and sleep with you?”
Bai Qingyan nodded.
Xiao Rongyan picked up Bai Qingyan and placed her on the bed. He then went around the screen and poured the hot water from the copper kettle into the basin. After mixing the water and testing the water temperature, he brought the copper basin over, placed it on the footstool, and took off Bai Qingyan’s boots and socks…
“I’ll do it myself!” Bai Qingyan said hurriedly.
“It’s inconvenient for you with your big belly, let me do it…”
Since Bai Qingyan became pregnant, Xiao Rongyan has had very little time to spend with Bai Qingyan, so when they are together, he is willing to do everything he can for her, even if that is not enough for him.
Xiao Rongyan held Bai Qingyan’s jade-like feet, and felt that Bai Qingyan’s feet were very cold. He gently rinsed them with hot water, and then put Bai Qingyan’s feet in the water: “Are they hot?”
Bai Qingyan shook her head and looked at Xiao Rongyan who condescended to kneel on one knee to wash her feet. She felt that this man had a bit more worldly air. He was not the high and mighty Ninth Prince of Dayan who was confident and able to handle everything calmly, but her ordinary lover, husband… the person who would spend her life with her.
After serving her well, Xiao Rongyan lay down with her, letting her rest her head on his arms. Lying in his embrace, he gently stroked her abdomen and whispered to Bai Qingyan, “Although all the cities in Xiliang have been taken down, you still have to be careful on your way back. Return to the capital as soon as possible and don’t let your mother worry.”
Bai Qingyan lay in Xiao Rongyan’s arms, feeling exhausted and a little dazed. He closed his eyes and said, “Hmm…”
“Regarding the merging of the two countries, I have sent someone to deliver a letter to Yue Shi who is waiting outside the city. Let Yue Shi deliver the just-discussed strategy for the two countries to take over Yunjing to A Li. With the combined efforts of our two countries, we estimate that we will be able to take over Yunjing by mid-March at the latest.” He stroked Bai Qingyan’s abdomen and whispered, “A Li will propose the idea of merging the two countries when he gets the news of taking over Yunjing, and will send an envoy to Dadu.”
“Um.”
This matter had already been discussed long ago, although not in detail, but Bai Qingyan and the Bai family… as well as Xiao Rongyan and Murong Li were all in preparation.
The Tianfeng Kingdom has been driven back to the other side of the snow-capped mountains, and the unification of the world is just around the corner.
Xiao Rongyan whispered, “When our children grow up, they will definitely see a peaceful and prosperous world.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Bai Qingyan’s shallow breathing become slow. He knew that Bai Qingyan was indeed tired these days. Going to the battlefield with a child in her arms would make Bai Qingyan tired even if the child was well-behaved.
He propped himself up with his elbows, gathered the loose hair on Bai Qingyan’s face behind her ear, gently kissed Bai Qingyan’s earlobe, hugged Bai Qingyan tightly and closed his eyes.
The next morning, before dawn, Bai Qingyan woke up and realized that there was no one beside him. He touched the bed… it was already cold. He guessed that Xiao Rongyan had left a long time ago.
She lifted the quilt and just as she stood up, she heard Wei Zhong’s voice coming from outside the door: “Your Majesty, it’s still early, you can sleep a little longer!”
“No…” Bai Qingyan rubbed his sore neck.
“Do we need to send someone in to help Your Majesty get up?” Wei Zhong asked again.
“Hmm…” She lifted the bed curtain and saw a square handkerchief placed on the small table with a dim light on. She lowered her eyes, put on her shoes, stood up, took the handkerchief from the small table, and looked at it under the light.
There was a red plum blossom embroidered on the square handkerchief, and Xiao Rongyan had written words on it himself - There is a beautiful woman, I will never forget her when I see her, and I will miss her like crazy if I don’t see her for a day.
