The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1233: obvious
Chapter 1233 Obvious
Xiao Rongyan did not mention a single word in the letter… He obviously had no intention of caring about how to deal with Meng Zhaorong, who was captured by the guard of Tianmen Pass as a spy.
Bai Qingyan read Xiao Rongyan’s letter, and the smile in his eyes faded as he read further. Although Xiao Rongyan only chatted a few words in the letter, Bai Qingyan knew that Xiao Rongyan had been caught off guard by his sister-in-law’s defenses before. This time, he seemed to be accustomed to it, but he must still be extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
Xiao Rongyan was originally a person who was good at calculating people’s hearts, but judging from how he treated Murong Yu and Murong Li, he was a person who would not use his tricks on his own family members. However… this time he had no choice but to calculate his sister-in-law’s heart.
What kind of person is Murong Yu, and he actually married such a soft-hearted queen.
He left an edict, asking Xiao Rongyan and Queen Mother Yan to assist Murong Li. Was he really not afraid that Queen Mother Yan would delay Murong Li?
What Bai Qingyan didn’t know was that the position of Emperor Yan originally belonged to Xiao Rongyan. It was Xiao Rongyan who falsely conveyed his brother’s order and let Murong Li succeed to the throne. It was also because he missed his sister-in-law and was afraid that she would follow him because she missed her brother, so he added the Queen Mother Yan in the fake imperial edict.
In fact, she could understand all this even if Xiao Rongyan didn’t explain it to her in the letter.
After all, the Queen Mother Yan knew that she and Xiao Rongyan were married and that they had a child, so Xiao Rongyan had to appease the Queen Mother Yan a little, otherwise… the Queen Mother Yan would be on guard against Xiao Rongyan all day long, and the already divided court of Yan would be even more clearly divided into the Regent Party and the Queen Mother Party.
This is something that Xiao Rongyan, as the regent and Murong Li’s uncle, does not want to see.
However, when the merger of the two countries is finalized and there is no room for maneuver, I think the ministers of Yan State, whether they are from the Queen Mother’s party or the Regent’s party, will work together to build Yan State!

Because Bai Qingyan was pregnant, she walked slowly along the way. When she arrived at Baiwo City, it was already the third day of March.
Military reports were delivered to her by express horses every day. The news she received today… Yan State and Great Zhou had already arrived outside the city of Yunjing, waiting for the final battle.
Bai Qingyan estimated that by the time she returned to the capital, the outcome of Yunjing would be decided, and then it would be a matter of the two countries merging.
Regarding this matter, Bai Qingyan needed to inform the ministers he trusted before Murong Li sent an envoy to the capital. Bai Qingyan thought that he should just inform General Lu first and no one else should say anything.
It’s not that Bai Qingyan is not as trustworthy as Shen Jingzhong and his uncle Dong Qingping, but before this matter is finalized, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
It was already evening, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with a fiery glow and golden and purple colors.
On the official road outside Baiwo City, there is still a constant stream of carriages and horses carrying goods, and pedestrians are everywhere. The sound of copper bells as horses pass by the carriages is endless.
She lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. On both sides of the busy official road, the trees were already showing signs of sprouting, with bits of green appearing.
She remembered that Xiao Rongyan once said that he wanted to settle down in Baiwo City after the world was settled, and she inexplicably felt more favorable towards Baiwo City.
After a while, she called out, “Wei Zhong…”
“Miss!” Wei Zhong pulled up the reins and approached the carriage window. “Miss, what do you want?”
“After we leave, send someone to stay in Baiwo City to look around for houses and buy any suitable ones.” Bai Qingyan said.
Wei Zhong was startled, and then asked hurriedly: “Excuse me, old servant, I don’t know what the young lady wants to buy the house for. If you know the purpose, people who go to buy the house will think carefully and not mess up the young lady’s job.”
“For living in, the house doesn’t have to be too eye-catching. It just needs to be ordinary and spacious.” Bai Qingyan said.
As soon as Wei Zhong heard it, he understood what Bai Qingyan meant, which was to find an upper-middle-class house in Baiwo City.
“I understand. I will pass the order down soon.” Wei Zhong said with a smile.
“Don’t be too anxious about this matter. Make sure you buy it first.”
“Yes!” Wei Zhong responded.
Chunzhi poured Bai Qingyan a cup of hot tea and asked softly, “Why do you want to buy a house in Baiwo City, young lady?”
Bai Qingyan smiled and picked up the teacup without answering. She noticed the fetus in her belly moving. Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes and gently supported her belly, with a deeper smile on her face.
Even children like this Baiwo City, which shows that… Baiwo City is a good place.
That night, Bai Qingyan stayed in Baiwo City and set out for Qufeng early the next morning. Unexpectedly, Chen Qingsheng and Chuntao were already waiting for Bai Qingyan in Qufeng.
Chen Qingsheng thought of everything carefully, and he knew that Bai Qingyan had returned with light luggage and did not want to disturb others, so he booked an inn early on.
Along with Chen Qingsheng and Chuntao came Doctor Hong’s junior fellow apprentice… Huang Yuanpan from the Imperial Hospital.
Chuntao had tied her hair up, simply pinned with a white jade hairpin, cut her bangs straight, and wore a narrow-sleeved top with a magpie embroidered on a branch, and a moon-white skirt.
As soon as she saw Bai Qingyan getting off the carriage, Chuntao’s eyes immediately turned red, and she came up to her with her skirt in hand: “Young lady!”
Bai Qingyan helped Chunzhi get off the carriage and was supported by Chuntao. She pulled Chuntao to look at her carefully, and after a while she turned her head to Chen Qingsheng who had not yet stood up and saluted and said, “Not bad, you haven’t lost weight, and you look much better. It shows that Chen Qingsheng treats our Chuntao well.”
“Girl!” Chuntao said angrily, and her tearful eyes immediately turned into a face full of embarrassment when she saw her own girl.
Chunzhi covered her lips with a handkerchief and chuckled, “That’s right, Sister Chuntao looks a lot rosier than when she got married!”
“Ah! You little bitch, you’re teasing me!” Chun Tao pretended to be angry and twisted Chun Zhi’s arm, then helped Bai Qing Yan walk into the inn, “Miss, you must have been exhausted from the journey. Take a rest first. Have a cup of yogurt. I’ll prepare some bathing water for you and help you take a bath. Then you can sleep better.”
Chuntao has always been careful about these little things.
“Okay…” Bai Qingyan gently held Chuntao’s hand and walked inside with Chuntao.
Chen Qingsheng booked the best inn in Qufeng, which had a separate small courtyard at the back.
Knowing that Bai Qingyan brought the Bai family’s guards and secret guards with her on this trip back, Chen Qingsheng was ordered to bring a lot of royal secret guards when he came to greet Bai Qingyan this time. It was not that the Dong family was too cautious, but that Bai Qingyan was pregnant now and the target was too obvious.
“Madam is worried about the eldest girl, so she asked me to invite Huang Yuanpan over.” Chen Qingsheng said to Bai Qingyan with a smile, “Dr. Huang is waiting to take your pulse.”
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Okay!”
The maids that Chuntao brought with her were the ones that Bai Qingyan used to work with in the Bai Mansion. As soon as Bai Qingyan arrived, they served him properly according to the usual rules.
