The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1312: the love
Chapter 1312 Love
After Wang Hanbing checked into the inn, he notified the delegation of envoys who were accompanying him to Zhou that they would wait for the Ninth Prince to arrive before going to meet the Emperor of Zhou together. They would first settle down in the capital and gather some information for the Ninth Prince.
Pingyi had a handwritten letter from the Ninth Prince to the Emperor of Zhou with him, so when he arrived at Bai’s mansion that night he sent someone to tell him that he wanted to meet the Emperor of Zhou.
The guards of the Bai family had seen Pingyi, a guard beside the former emperor of Yan, Murong Yu, so they sent someone to the palace to deliver a message to Wei Zhong that the person who came was the personal guard beside the former emperor of Yan.
Bai Qingyan, who was sitting under the lamp reviewing memorials, slapped his waist. Chuntao hurried forward to massage Bai Qingyan’s shoulders, and Chunzhi also came forward to massage Bai Qingyan’s right arm.
“Miss, let’s see each other tomorrow. You have been reviewing memorials all day today, so you should go to bed early…” Chunzhi advised in a low voice.
She shook her head and asked Wei Zhong to bring Pingyi into the palace quietly.
If I remember correctly, the stern guard beside Murong Yu is called Pingyi, so he is an acquaintance. Although he didn’t say it explicitly, Bai Qingyan knew that… it must be Xiao Rongyan’s letter that arrived.
The last time Wei Zhong brought back a letter from Xiao Rongyan from Yunjing, Xiao Rongyan’s letter was very simple. It mainly explained how he would deal with things after returning to the country this time. He also told Bai Qingyan that he would play the role of the “abandoned husband” abandoned by Bai Qingyan, so that Bai Qingyan would not have to show mercy to the Ninth Prince of Dayan when meeting the envoys from Yan State. He understood everything.
He also said that it was because he failed to let Yue Shi deliver the message on time that led to Bai Qingyan’s premature birth. He also said that he was unable to be with Bai Qingyan when she gave birth, and he felt guilty about it.
Now Bai Qingyan has to work hard to take care of the two children, and he is very uneasy, so he will try his best to determine the outcome of the two countries’ national policies and complete the merger of the two countries within five years. If the two countries merge within five years, he will always be with Bai Qingyan and the two children and never be separated again.
Bai Qingyan could not keep Xiao Rongyan’s letter, but every word seemed to be engraved in Bai Qingyan’s heart, and she could recall every word clearly.
Bai Qingyan said there were red spots on his face.
“Are both children asleep?” Bai Qingyan asked Chuntao.
Chun Tao massaged Bai Qingyan’s shoulders and said, “My dear, Madam Tong just said that the little princess and the little prince have already fallen asleep. Don’t worry, my dear.”
Bai Qingyan nodded. If his mother had not said anything against letting him bring the two children with him to handle government affairs, Bai Qingyan would definitely have kept the two children under his watch.
“Send someone to tell Madam Tong that I will go to sleep with the two children tonight.” Bai Qingyan said, and then reminded, “Don’t let Mother know.”
“Yes!” Chun Tao replied with a sly smile. The eldest girl stayed in the palace almost every night and ran to squeeze in with the two children. “I guess Madam Tong already knows that the eldest girl will be there later. Everything has been prepared. First, use a cup of milk to stew the bird’s nest. Madam Tong just brought it over and has been simmering it over a low fire.”
“Okay…” Bai Qingyan nodded.
After she finished drinking the milk and bird’s nest and read some memorials, Pingyi entered the palace.
Just as Bai Qingyan thought, Pingyi was carrying a handwritten letter from Xiao Rongyan.
Originally, Pingyi brought another letter. Later, because Queen Mother Yan wanted to ask for something, Xiao Rongyan had to come to Da Zhou in person, so he sent someone to catch up with Pingyi and change the letter.
Bai Qingyan opened the letter and asked, “Is your Regent coming in person this time?”
Pingyi nodded.
Chunzhi, who came in from the back hall carrying a cup of strong tea, saw Bai Qingyan holding a letter and approaching the lamp. She hurriedly brought a brighter lamp and placed it in front of Bai Qingyan’s desk, and the desk suddenly became bright.
In the letter, Xiao Rongyan wrote about his longing for Bai Qingyan and the two children, and said that he had prepared gifts for Bai Qingyan and the two children.
Xiao Rongyan wrote two full pages, but actually there was nothing important in it. He just expressed his love for Bai Qingyan and his longing for the three of them very explicitly. He said that he would talk about the rest after he arrived in Dadu. He also said that he asked Pingyi to deliver the letter to her as soon as she arrived in Dadu. Pingyi probably thought it was something important, and asked Bai Qingyan not to show anything in front of Pingyi, so as to make Pingyi doubt him as the Ninth Prince and stop being a messenger in the future.
At the end of the letter, Xiao Rongyan reminded again… He had played the role of “abandoned husband” well, and asked Bai Qingyan to play the serious matter in the letter well.
He was so anxious to ask Pingyi to send the letter to the palace, and went through so much trouble just to send a letter to express his longing.
Bai Qingyan guessed that it was because Xiao Rongyan missed her and the child too much, and thought that she must feel the same way as he did, so when the letter arrived, there was no time to waste and she asked Pingyi to deliver it.
With a smile on her face, she looked up and saw Pingyi frowning and looking at her with a very nervous look.
She cleared her throat, folded up the letter, and said to Pingyi, “Pingyi, the guards have worked hard all the way. I will have someone take you back to the inn to rest.”
Pingyi bowed to Bai Qingyan and left the hall.
Chunzhi, who was standing by, held a black lacquer and gold-painted square plate in her arms. She looked at Pingyi, who was leaving the hall with a fist clasped in a serious manner, and whispered to Bai Qing, “Miss, does that guard not know how to speak? I haven’t seen that guard speak since I came in.”
“I just don’t like to talk. When I saluted our young lady just now, my elegant words were very pure.” Chun Tao smiled softly and knelt in front of the table to help Bai Qingyan sort out the memorials. “Young lady, can you rest now?”
“Hmm…” Bai Qingyan nodded, folded up the letter sent by Xiao Rongyan, hid it in his sleeve, and said, “You can take a break now. I will review the remaining memorials tomorrow.”
When Bai Qingyan arrived at the two children’s bedroom, they were sleeping soundly. After washing up in the side hall, she went into the main hall and hugged the two children to sleep. She kissed the two children’s faces, with a sweet smile between her eyebrows, and whispered: “Soon, your father will come to the capital city.”
Within a few years, after the two countries merged, their family would never be separated again.
Three days later, the case of the old lady Sima family assassinating Princess Xiangxie was settled. The old lady Sima forced Princess Xiangxie’s mother to death, and silenced the person who knew the truth. It was said that… a servant of the Sima family came to take the blame for the silencing, saying that he took the initiative to force the old lady Sima to silence the person who knew the truth, in order to keep the money that the old lady Sima gave to the person who knew the truth for himself.
No matter what, after all the circumstances, Old Lady Sima could not escape exile.
When Bai Qingyan saw the case file, he understood in his heart…the Sima family’s son who came out to take the blame was most likely forced to take the blame for his master. This kind of thing was also common in noble families and aristocratic families.
