The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 214: Caution
Chapter 214 Be Careful with Your Words
However, Li Zhijie is handsome and suave. If Bai Qingyan falls in love with Li Zhijie, what will be the result…it is really hard to say.
The prince showed no worry on his face, as he smiled and picked up his wine glass to enjoy the singing and dancing, as if he was attracted by the dancer’s graceful movements.
The maid kneeling beside Bai Qingyan lowered her eyebrows and held the wine pot to pour wine for Bai Qingyan: “General, I will pour you some wine…”
Bai Qingyan looked at the dancer and heard Shen Qingzhu’s voice beside her. She said calmly, “Change to a cup of tea! I don’t drink alcohol.”
“Yes!” The maid stepped back and quickly brought up a cup of hot tea, placed it in front of Bai Qingyan’s wooden desk, then bowed and stood quietly aside.
She picked up the teacup, lifted the lid and slowly blew a breath of hot air into the cup. Shen Qingzhu wrote the number nine on the lid and circled it.
Xiaojiu was imprisoned…
She felt her heart pounding, and in an instant, she was so shocked by the news that half of her body was numb!
The Xiliang Emperor was assassinated, causing the Xiliang Empress to hastily ascend the throne. Could it be Xiaojiu’s doing? !
Entering the Xiliang Palace to assassinate is indeed Xiaojiu’s style. I wonder how Xiaojiu is doing now? Is he being tortured?
It doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter if he’s imprisoned or tortured! As long as he’s alive, that’s all!
As long as she’s alive, she’ll have a way to rescue Xiaojiu!
Bai Qingyan took a sip of tea calmly and forced himself to calm down.
So… let’s wait and see whether Li Zhijie will use Xiaojiu as a bargaining chip for peace.
If Li Zhijie used Xiaojiu as a bargaining chip for peace and proposed it openly, then the peace envoys of the Jin Dynasty and the crown prince would definitely exchange Xiaojiu back. After all, the royal family always liked to save face and would never want their subjects to see that the royal family of the Jin Dynasty was unwilling to exchange back… a general who had fought for the Jin State and was captured by the enemy!
What’s more, all the members of the Zhenguo Mansion died on the battlefield for the people. If Xiaojiu is captured… he will be the only remaining child of the Bai family.
However, if Li Zhijie knew that the king and his ministers of Jin were suspicious of each other, and wanted to use Xiaojiu to make some kind of deal with the prince in private, then Xiaojiu’s chance of survival would be slim.
In this case, she would have no choice but to break off relations with Xiliang and rescue the people by force.
Bai Qingyan held the teacup and squinted her eyes at the graceful dancer. She wondered how Xiliang was going to use Xiaojiu. She had to find a way to give it a try…
“Princess Pingyang has arrived…”
The eunuchs’ shrill announcements were heard outside the tent, and the dancers stopped dancing in an orderly manner, bent their waists and retreated to the two sides of the tent.
Li Zhijie quickly put down his wine glass. He subconsciously glanced in the direction of Bai Qingyan, only to see Bai Qingyan sitting upright in his seat, drinking tea from a cup instead of drinking any alcohol. His every move was dignified and graceful, and his cold and imposing temperament was not tainted by the dust of the world, but as clear as ice.
Bai Qingyan’s appearance is indeed stunning, extremely pure and beautiful. Although Li Tianfu’s facial features are not as good as Bai Qingyan’s, when it comes to charm… Bai Qingyan really has no way to match Li Tianfu.
Li Tianfu is naturally charming and has the natural charm that can make men’s hearts itch invisibly.
Although Li Zhijie was very beautiful, he just liked to admire all kinds of beauties and was by no means a lustful person. So, he doted on his cousin, but it was not because he had any dirty thoughts.
Li Zhijie stood up and looked towards the tent entrance with a smile. A palace maid holding a hollow copper incense burner with auspicious beasts lifted the curtain. Amid the enchanting scent, Li Tianfu, with half of his face covered with golden gauze, entered the tent. Her thick eyelashes were like a fan, and her watery eyes were full of charm.
Almost out of a woman’s natural intuition, Li Tianfu subconsciously looked at Bai Qingyan who was sitting below the Crown Prince of Jin under the fairy crane glass lamp.
The warm, clear light outlined the woman’s breathtakingly delicate features. Her long hair was tied up high on the top of her head. She wore no makeup, no hair accessories, and no pearls. However, she was more dazzling and gorgeous than the whole room.
Her stunning beauty was obviously ancient and gentle, but her deep eyes, with distinct black and white, were like the vast starry sky, pure and untainted by any dust, and carried a cold and imposing chill, as well as an air of pride that was unique and extraordinary.
Being able to come to this big tent in military uniform, I think she should be the killer Xiao Baishuai who caused General Yun to suffer a crushing defeat… Bai Qingyan!
Li Tianfu has always been proud of her beauty. She thought Bai Qingyan should be a big, thick-bellied, and rough-looking woman. Who would have thought that this little Bai Shuai… is also a stunning beauty!
Li Tianfu was unhappy and slowly took off her fiery red cloak. She was dressed in the style of the Great Jin Dynasty. She wore a snow-blue dress with gold flowers and a slanting collar, a red silk flower-tied long tassel corset around her waist, and a light gauze of the same color as her veil. Her dark cloud-like hair was tied into a flying cloud bun, and she wore a pair of exquisite green jade bracelets inlaid with pearls and cloud patterns on her hair. She wore a pair of exquisite red gold ring bead nine-turn bracelets on her slender wrists. The jade pendant tied together with the waist made a crisp sound of bells when she walked, and her voice was really heard before she arrived.
“Princess!” Li Zhijie smiled and bowed to Li Tianfu, then introduced her to the Crown Prince, “This is our Majesty’s sister, Princess Pingyang.”
“Your Highness!” Li Tianfu bowed slightly and lowered his eyes to salute the prince. His voice was like a bird’s cry, which made people feel numb to the bone.
The prince narrowed his eyes, smiled and nodded to Li Tianfu who was standing in the middle of the tent: “Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat…”
Bai Qingyan, who was sitting below the crown prince, looked up at Li Tianfu. The fragrance of Princess Pingyang wafted from her steps, and Bai Qingyan could vaguely smell the sweet aroma on her body.
Li Tianfu sat down, took off her veil to reveal her beautiful figure, and looked at Bai Qingyan with her beautiful eyes, with a bit of arrogance of a spoiled girl: “You are the killer god that is popular in various countries… Bai Qingyan?”
When she was called, she looked at Li Tianfu and nodded slightly: “Your Highness, I really don’t dare…”
Without waiting for Bai Qingyan to finish, Li Tianfu sneered, his tone unable to conceal his sarcasm: “You are so young, aren’t you afraid of heaven’s punishment and loss of blessings? How dare you call yourself a god? How shameless!”
Bai Qingyan raised her eyes. Princess Li Tianfu of Xiliang was the first to break up with her, which gave her the opportunity to test how Xiliang planned to use Xiaojiu, so she was not angry.
Zhang Duanrui’s expression darkened, and he clasped his fists and said, “Princess Xiliang, please be careful with your words!”
Li Tianfu had always been spoiled, and had no idea what it meant to be cautious with words. When he saw Bai Qingyan at this moment, he thought that he had to marry into the imperial court because of Bai Qingyan’s great victory, and he hated Bai Qingyan even more.
The prince lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes. The plan he and Mr. Fang had come up with was going to end up with this result.
A charming smile appeared on Li Tianfu’s lips. “You burned and killed hundreds of thousands of captives from Xiliang. Could it be that you did it to make yourself known as a killer? The Bai family is a family of loyalty and righteousness known to all nations. If your grandfather knew that you burned and killed captives for your own selfish fame and caused the Bai family’s reputation to become infamous overnight, would he still be able to keep his head down?!”
Bai Qingyan’s face darkened.
“Princess!” Li Zhijie’s face changed slightly and he called out to Li Tianfu loudly. He quickly stood up and bowed to Bai Qingyan to apologize. “General Bai, please don’t blame me. The princess has been spoiled by the late emperor since she was young. She is a little outspoken. I hope General Bai will be magnanimous and don’t hold it against the princess.”
Lu Yuanpeng: This princess is so beautiful, why does she speak so harshly?
Xiao Rongyan: What do you think she looks like?
Lu Yuanpeng: Brother Xiao, I said she is so ugly, how can she have the nerve to unveil her veil in front of Sister Bai!
Xiao Rongyan: Well, I guess it’s just a broken jar!
