The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1222: old acquaintance
Chapter 1222 Old Acquaintance
Even in this life, every time she woke up in the middle of the night, she was afraid that everything in this life was just a dream, and that she still could not protect her mother and aunts, and could not save her younger sisters.
She had lost something in her previous life, and the pain was unbearable for her. She was holding on to death because she wanted to overturn the verdict for the Bai family, but every moment that passed was worse than death.
So when God had mercy on her and she was reborn, she put her younger brothers and sisters, her mother and aunts first, and also put the unfulfilled ambitions of the Bai family’s ancestors first.
Being with Xiao Rongyan, falling in love… and getting married, this was beyond Bai Qingyan’s expectations.
When it comes to big things, personal feelings are ignored. In this regard, she has always felt that Xiao Rongyan has always done better than her.
Using Ayu’s identity, he revealed Ayu’s identity to Xiliang…
At that time, Bai Qingyan also had some resentment in his heart, but he was persuaded by the agreement they had made before, “Don’t worry about personal feelings when it comes to major events.”
After all, one of them is from the Great Zhou and the other is from the Yan State, and it is only right that they each contribute their part to their motherland.
It was she who had fallen in love and had never had the heart to reveal Xiao Rongyan’s true identity, but that didn’t mean Xiao Rongyan had to do the same for her.
If Gyantse City had not been besieged this time and Xiao Rongyan had not come, Bai Qingyan would have always felt this way.
Perhaps whether betraying Ayu’s identity or using Ayu’s identity would not endanger her safety, so Xiao Rongyan would do it without hesitation. Once it concerns her safety, Xiao Rongyan would risk his life…even regardless of the State of Yan.
Bai Qingyan suddenly thought of Queen Ji, and remembered the expression on Xiao Rongyan’s face when he talked about Queen Ji to her. His mother was trapped in love all her life, and his father, the old Emperor Yan, was that kind of man. He had seen his mother, so he was determined to protect his wife all his life. Because he was the offspring of Queen Ji, deep down… he was a very affectionate person.
She sealed the letter and asked someone to deliver it to Xiao Rongyan with medicine for the wound.
Wei Zhong took the letter and was about to send someone to deliver it to Xiao Rongyan when he heard Bai Qingyan say, “Wei Zhong, have someone prepare something. I want to go to Feng County to take a look before entering Tianmen Pass.”
Feng County used to be the first city to be hit whenever Xiliang crossed the border. Bai Qingyan had always been concerned about it and had instructed Li Mingrui and Dong Changyuan, who were implementing the new policy, to give Feng County more support and care.
Now that she had reached Tianmen Pass, she wanted to go and take a look, and also wait for…Xiao Rongyan’s reply to her.
Ever since the border of the Great Zhou was pushed to Tonggu Mountain because of a battle in southern Xinjiang, life in Feng County has become much better.
But it has only been a few years since the last war in southern Xinjiang, so the people still remember those miserable days, and naturally have not forgotten the Bai family army.
When Bai Qingyan’s carriage entered the city, soldiers were being recruited inside the city gate…
After all, the battle to pacify Xiliang requires a lot of soldiers, and the occupied cities also need soldiers to garrison there. The troops in other camps of the Great Zhou cannot be mobilized at will, so they can only recruit new soldiers.
Bai Qingyan, who was sitting in the carriage, raised his hand to open the azure blue curtain of the carriage and looked at the long queue of people outside who were coming to apply for the job. There was even a little kid holding a wooden sword in the queue. A woman with bun-haired and wearing an apron rushed out from somewhere, grabbed the little kid’s ear with her hand, and pulled him back.
“Oh! Mom! Don’t twist my ears. Brother Chunsheng can go to the army, so why can’t I go? I want to go find Brother Chunsheng!”
The woman was so angry that she pulled the boy’s arm and slapped him on the butt a few times: “What nonsense are you doing! How old are you!” Besides, Chunsheng joined the army because he was guaranteed by a general in the army! Do you think they will accept you at such a young age? Why would they let you go to the battlefield to cause trouble for our Bai family army? "
“mother……”
“Go home now!”
Without saying a word, the woman grabbed the child’s arm and pulled him back. The child’s crying and the woman’s scolding gradually faded away.
Chunzhi heard the conversation between the lady and the child and laughed, “I never thought that such a young child from Fengxian would dare to join the army.”
“The people who are still able to stay in Feng County are all very brave!” Bai Qingyan smiled. “Before the war in Southern Xinjiang, Feng County… Xiliang would come to steal food every year. The people had a miserable life, but they finally chose to stay because they believed that the Bai family army would protect them.”
Chunzhi nodded: “I have heard about this from our Bai family guards before.”
“Tang Haws! Selling Tang Haws…”
Seeing the small vendor carrying candied haws and selling them, Bai Qingyan suddenly remembered the time when Xiao Rongyan bought her candied haws, and a smile appeared on her face.
“Wei Zhong, stop the carriage and get out for a walk!” Bai Qingyan lowered the curtains and spoke to the person outside the carriage.
Wei Zhong raised his hand in response, and the carriage slowly stopped.
The guards of the Bai family who were guarding the front and back of the carriage dismounted one after another. Chunzhi, who was dressed like an ordinary lady from a wealthy family, got off the carriage…
After all, these guards all had different demeanors, which attracted the people to look in Bai Qingyan’s direction frequently.
Passing by Cao’antang, Bai Qingyan remembered that this was opened by Ji Langhua’s father.
When the waiter at Cao’an Hall saw the pregnant Bai Qingyan standing outside the door with her guards and maids, he thought she was a rich lady who had come to ask their doctor to diagnose her pulse, so he hurriedly greeted her: “Madam, is this lady here to see our doctor Ji for a pulse diagnosis? What a coincidence… our doctor Ji is out on a medical trip!”
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, a carriage slowly stopped. The waiter laughed and said, “Oh! What a coincidence! Our Doctor Ji is back!”
As he said that, the waiter hurried over to greet him.
The padded dark blue curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man wearing a lacquered gauze crown and a moon-white robe with wide sleeves and auspicious cloud-patterned edges came down, carrying a medicine box, supported by the coachman.
The waiter quickly took the medicine box from Doctor Ji and said with a smile, “Sir, you are back. It just so happens that…someone came to see the doctor for a pulse check!”
Doctor Ji, who had a goatee, looked up and saw Bai Qingyan, who exuded a noble aura and was accompanied by guards.
He didn’t recognize Bai Qingyan, but he recognized Wei Zhong who was following Bai Qingyan. His face turned pale immediately. Looking at Bai Qingyan’s protruding belly, he immediately guessed her identity. He hurriedly stepped forward with his body bent, lifted his clothes and knelt down.
“Mr. Ji, you don’t have to be so polite outside!”
As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, Wei Zhong stepped forward and supported Doctor Ji who had just knelt on one knee. Wei Zhong smiled and said, “Doctor Ji, it’s been a long time since we last met… I hope you are doing well! Today, I accompanied our eldest daughter to Feng County for a walk. I didn’t expect to run into an old acquaintance.”
Doctor Ji’s lips trembled. He looked at Bai Qingyan and was afraid of being impolite, so he quickly stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation to Bai Qingyan: “Your Majesty… Miss, please!”
Chunsheng…sounds familiar? Hahaha
