The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1293: 1289th: Good sleep
Chapter 1293: Good Sleep
Bai Jintong looked at Danzhi’s slender back, calculated Danzhi’s age, and turned around… thinking that she would send Danzhi back after the New Year and let her mother find a good family for Danzhi to marry. It would not be good to let Danzhi follow her for the rest of her life and waste her life.
She had just taken a sip of hot tea when she noticed some movement outside the window. She placed the cup on the small table, turned her head and looked out the window. She raised her hand and pushed the window open a crack, and saw the secret guard standing outside: “Third Master, the people we are watching for the Regent’s Palace reported that Queen Mother Yan quietly entered the Regent’s Palace after leaving the palace.”
“Okay, I understand.” Bai Jintong said coldly, “Go ahead!”
In fact, Bai Jintong could guess why Queen Mother Yan couldn’t sit still at this moment and had to go to the Regent’s Palace late at night…
It was because the “Regent Party” had secretly gathered together, and a rumor came out from somewhere that… the court officials on the Regent’s side were preparing to submit a joint memorial, requesting the Queen Mother and the Regent to establish a new emperor.
And now, if Emperor Murong Li of Yan is deposed, the eldest prince of Yan is useless, and the second prince of Yan is a military man. It is estimated that only the regent Murong Yan can sit firmly on the throne.
Yan Ting…is such a mess!
However, in Bai Jintong’s opinion, chaos is good!
However, Bai Jintong felt sorry for Murong Li. Even though Murong Li proposed that the two countries merge into one country with their national policies being the final decision, it was only a stopgap measure, just to give Yan State a glimmer of hope. But he could think of it… Bai Jintong admired his broad mind.
To be honest, Bai Jintong was actually willing to make this happen.
Bai Jintong knows her elder sister. If she could unify the world in this way, her elder sister would definitely be willing to do so.
Because they were born into a family of generals, even though the Bai family members were good at fighting, they actually hated the unnecessary sacrifice of the soldiers. They did not want to increase the burden on the people because of the war, and did not want to see the tragic scene of nine out of ten houses being empty.
Bai Jintong thought about it carefully. Now it all depends on the attitude of the Ninth Prince. If the Regent Prince does not agree with the method proposed by Emperor Murong Li of Yan in the end, he will probably pull Murong Li off the throne.
It’s a pity that Bai Jintong’s roots in Yan State are still shallow and he doesn’t have enough power to influence this matter.
But, if it really comes to this, Bai Jintong would be very willing to try to save the life of Murong Li, the Emperor of Yan.
According to history, if Murong Li was really deposed, then the new emperor of Yan who ascended the throne would definitely kill Murong Li, the deposed emperor.

Regent’s Palace.
Queen Mother Yan was dressed in casual clothes, a black cloak with a hood, and was welcomed into the Regent’s Palace by Yue Shi through the corner gate. As soon as they arrived at the main hall, the maidservant who served Queen Mother Yan hurriedly untied the black cloak for her and waited with her in the main hall.
When Queen Mother Yan saw the servants from the Prince Regent’s Mansion bringing up hot tea and snacks, she realized that she would have to wait for a while. She turned to look at Yue Shi and asked, “Has the Ninth Prince gone to bed yet?”
Yue Shi nodded and said respectfully, “Master, you have been traveling for days. When you came back, a lot of government affairs were sent to you. Many court officials chased you and asked you about your Majesty’s statement that the outcome of the war between Yan and Zhou should be decided by national policy, and the two countries should be united into one country. Master finally sent them away, and fell asleep on the table before he finished reading the government affairs.”
When Queen Mother Yan heard this, her grip tightened.
Empress Dowager Yan had also heard about this matter. When she heard Xiao Rongyan tell the court officials to go back and not worry, as he would never let the emperor do something as ridiculous as gambling with the entire country, this made Empress Dowager Yan even more worried.
He was worried that Xiao Rongyan would really dethrone Ali in order to protect the Murong family’s kingdom.
Not long after, Queen Dowager Yan heard a very faint noise coming from outside and turned to look outside the open partition.
I saw the hexagonal sheepskin lamp hanging under the corridor swaying in the wind. The yellow light and the drizzle were intertwined in the misty water fog, forming circles of hazy light. Xiao Rongyan also stepped onto the steps of the main hall.
Yue Shi was very perceptive and quickly went out to greet him: “Master!”
The drizzle wet Xiao Rongyan’s black hair, jade crown, and frosty narrow-sleeved long gown with cloud patterns. He stood at the door, patting the moisture on his shoulders, and instructed Yue Shi in a mellow voice: “Stay outside and don’t let anyone in.”
“Yes! Master, don’t worry!”
Seeing him lifting the hem of his long gown and stepping over the threshold, the white jade belt on his waist made a slight sound. The personal maid who had always been with Queen Mother Yan hurriedly bowed her head to salute Xiao Rongyan, then respectfully left the main hall and stood guard outside the door with Yue Shiyi.
“Sister-in-law, why did you come here in the rain?” Xiao Rongyan walked in and bowed to Queen Dowager Yan.
“Ayan, you don’t have to be so polite!” Queen Mother Yan did not sit there calmly this time. She hurriedly stood up and went forward to support Xiao Rongyan. “I just heard Yue Shi say that you had already fallen asleep. I, your sister-in-law, came here suddenly to disturb your sleep.”
Xiao Rongyan did not wear a mask in his own palace. His upright features were reflected by the swaying orange-yellow light, and his eyes became darker. “A-Li caused such a big mess this time, and I don’t know how it will end. How can I sleep well?”
Seeing that Queen Mother Yan wanted to speak, Xiao Rongyan made a gesture of invitation to his sister-in-law: “Sister-in-law, let’s sit down and talk.”
Queen Mother Yan nodded and sat down on the chair, and then she heard Xiao Rongyan say, “Now A Li is determined to gamble with the country of Yan, and sister-in-law needs to persuade A Li! I have sent people to chase Wang Hanbing. I hope that Wang Hanbing can be caught. Perhaps there is still room for recovery. If Wang Hanbing cannot be caught, let Wang Hanbing walk smoothly to the Great Zhou court, holding A Li’s private seal and the document given by A Li…”
Queen Mother Yan’s heart suddenly tensed up: “Then…Ayan, what are you going to do?”
Murong Yan pursed his thin lips tightly without saying a word, but tapped his fingers on the table, and his eyes became darker.
Queen Mother Yan thought of her brother’s words again, and her heart sank. She stopped talking to Xiao Rongyan about this matter and instead told him about the two children Bai Qingyan had given birth to: “Sister-in-law, I heard that the Emperor of the Great Zhou gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and he hasn’t congratulated A Yan yet! Now our A Yan is going to be a father too.”
When Xiao Rongyan heard about the two children, his hands that were tapping on the table tightened, and his eyes darkened. He lowered his extremely long eyelashes to hide the lonely look in his eyes, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: “Sister-in-law, those two children… are the children of the Emperor of the Great Zhou. We have already decided, and they have nothing to do with me anymore.”
Queen Mother Yan had a clear mind and guessed that Xiao Rongyan and Bai Qingyan might have fallen out because of Bai Qingyu’s capture and the Great Zhou’s deployment of troops on the border of Yan State. However, she still tried to persuade them, “No matter what, those two children are A Yan’s flesh and blood. How can A Yan say that?”
The third update…Good night, my little ancestors!
