The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 273: bound to accompany
Chapter 273 I Will Accompany You
He lowered his voice and said, “My lady, I’m afraid you have misunderstood me. I have no improper thoughts about Fourth Miss Bai. I am much older than Fourth Miss and I am weak. I just miss my family…”
“A daughter of the Bai family will not marry if she does not want to. If she does marry, she must marry the person she loves and spend her life with him. If someone intends to take advantage of my fourth sister’s happiness for the rest of her life, Bai Qingyan will not mind if both sides are in danger…”
Bai Qingyan lowered his voice, and it was not an exaggeration to say that this was a threat to Emperor Yan.
For Bai Qingyan, she was afraid of Xiao Rongyan in her heart. When it came to herself…she could retreat or give in, but when it came to her sister, she, Bai Qingyan, would not retreat at all.
Xiao Rongyan’s ears twitched, and he lowered his eyes and drank his tea without saying a word.
“Bai Qingyan likes to speak bluntly. If the Emperor of Yan finds it offensive, please forgive me!” Bai Qingyan nodded slightly to Murong Yu, but his attitude was very arrogant. “Bai Qingyan advised Dayan to conquer Southern Yan without bloodshed because Dayan’s conquest of Southern Yan would benefit the people of Southern Yan, and… Dayan’s conquest of Southern Yan has no direct interest to me. But if Dayan goes too far and wants to control my fourth sister’s marriage, Bai Qingyan doesn’t mind causing some trouble for Dayan.”
Looking at Bai Qingyan who was showing his aggressiveness opposite him, the gentle smile on Murong Yu’s face gradually faded.
Although the State of Yan was in decline, Murong Yu was the emperor after all. How could he not take the safety of the State of Yan seriously?
Bai Qingyan has a soft spot, and that is her family. As the eldest sister…protecting her younger sisters’ safety and happiness has long been one of her beliefs ingrained in her bones.
If Emperor Yan dared to pay attention to her sister, she would not be afraid even if she had to stand on the opposite side of Xiao Rongyan to fight.
Family affection can sometimes be a person’s weak spot, but sometimes it can also be a person’s armor…making people fearless of life or death.
“Princess, what you said is… a bit arrogant.” Murong Yu smiled coldly.
Bai Qingyan curled his lips and smiled, suppressing the anger in his heart, and sneered: “Xiao Rongyan… Murongyan, does the Emperor of Yan really think that Great Yan is one step ahead and that the Ninth Prince is acting in secret and no one has noticed?”
Murong Yu’s palms tightened, and murderous intent was hidden deep in his eyes.
“Bai Qingyan has no intention of interfering in your country’s deployment, nor does he intend to cause trouble for your country! Emperor Yan also asks… not to stretch his hand too far. If Emperor Yan and the Ninth Prince really want to fight with Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingyan will never spoil the fun and will definitely accompany them!”
Murong Yu understood what Bai Qingyan meant. If he dared to ask the Emperor of Jin to marry the fourth daughter of the Bai family on behalf of his brother, the eldest daughter of the Bai family would take action against the State of Yan.
If any other girl said such words, Murong Yu might not care, but… the target is the eldest daughter of the Bai family, the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion. Although all the men in the Bai family are gone, the woman in front of him… has shown her ability and scheming through the battle in Southern Xinjiang, the identity of Xiao Rongyan, and this game of chess where she could make everything happen.
Dayan is now in a weak position and the reason why it was sent as a hostage to Jin State is to get a chance to catch its breath and gradually become stronger. Murong Yu does not want to create unnecessary trouble.
Murong Yu had always been able to endure. He looked at Bai Qingyan’s beautiful and beautiful features, and asked in a low voice: “Why doesn’t the Princess Zhenguo ask Fourth Miss Bai what she thinks? Maybe… Fourth Miss Bai herself is willing?”
“Why doesn’t the Emperor of Yan ask your brother if Great Yan, which is now poor and impoverished, can fight me?”
Bai Qingyan finished speaking with murderous intent, dropped the white piece in his hand, stood up and bowed to Murong Yu, then looked at Xiao Rongyan: “Mr. Xiao, please bring the pleasure boat to the shore.”
Bai Jinzhi, who was laughing, was startled. She could tell that her elder sister was angry. She glanced in the direction of Emperor Yan and said, “Elder sister…”
Xiao Rongyan stood up and said with a smile: “My princess, are you feeling bored? Why don’t you go sit upstairs? It’s more spacious there…”
Seeing the chess game changing again, Murong Yu suppressed his fear, smiled and stood up, calming down and bowing to Bai Qingyan: “If my words have offended the princess, please forgive me.”
Dong Changsheng stood up in shock. He didn’t expect that Emperor Yan would bow deeply and apologize to Bai Qingyan without any airs of an emperor at all.
Bai Qingyan had already torn her face with Emperor Yan, and she was not afraid of making it even more ugly. She wanted to let Emperor Yan know her determination not to allow him to interfere in Bai Jinzhi’s marriage…
It is said that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The Emperor of Yan has a country behind him. Just based on this point, the Emperor of Yan did not dare to gamble with Bai Qing.
Bai Qingyan looked at Xiao Rongyan with a smile: “Or is it that once you get on Mr. Xiao’s boat… you can’t get off?”
The old eunuch Feng Yao, who had been accompanying Murong Li, looked up at Bai Qingyan, who showed no regard for Emperor Yan at all. He tightened his palms and looked at Bai Qingyan with an unfriendly gaze. His gaze then fell on Emperor Yan Murong Yu, as if he was waiting for Murong Yu’s order.
“Or maybe…” Bai Qingyan looked directly at Feng Yao, then at Murong Yu, “Does the Emperor of Yan Empire really dare to order the killing of the Princess Zhenguo and the Princess Gaoyi in the capital of Jin?”
Xiao Rongyan could feel the rage in Bai Qingyan’s heart.
He didn’t expect that his brother’s first meeting with Bai Qingyan would be so unpleasant.
Murong Yu tightened his hands behind his back. It seemed that… if he really asked Fourth Miss Bai to marry Xiao Rongyan, Miss Bai would probably fight to the death in exchange for his help.
“Yan, Emperor Yan?” Dong Tingyu opened her eyes wide and looked at Murong Yu.
Dong Tingzhen looked at Bai Qingyan anxiously. She had never seen her cousin lose her composure like this before. “Cousin?”
“Cousin.” Dong Changsheng stood up hurriedly and tried to smooth things over. “Cousin, please don’t be angry. Mr. Xiao, please pull the pleasure boat to the side.”
Bai Jinzhi reacted immediately and trotted to Bai Qingyan’s side, looking at Murong Yu with a wary face, his hand already grasping the small dagger on his waist.
Seeing Bai Jinzhi defending Bai Qingyan, Murong Yu really didn’t want to embarrass Xiao Rongyan, so he said, “Mr. Xiao, please come ashore! I hope the princess will forgive me for any words I may have offended her.”
Xiao Rongyan stepped forward and bowed to the ground: “May I ask the Princess Zhenguo to spare me a moment to talk…”
Bai Qingyan did not give him face: “It is not in accordance with etiquette, and there is nothing that cannot be said to others. If Mr. Xiao has something to say, you might as well say it!”
“Brother, our pleasure boat is here!” Dong Tingzhen tugged at Dong Changsheng’s sleeve.
“Elder sister?” Bai Jinzhi seemed to be asking what Bai Qingyan meant.
She kept a stern face, her expression unchanged: “Since Mr. Xiao is unwilling to dock, then we will wait for the Dong family’s pleasure boat to come over, and then we will say goodbye…”
“Please, Princess, please allow me to have a word with you, considering that I once helped save the fourth lady of the Bai Mansion.” Xiao Rongyan was very humble.
Xiao Rongyan not only saved Fourth Aunt, but also Bai Qingjue.
Seeing that Bai Qingyan did not refuse, Xiao Rongyan made a gesture of invitation to Bai Qingyan.
The anger has already been vented, and Emperor Yan must have understood her attitude. He also knew that the Bai family was not really without people who could be manipulated by them.
