The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 296: can’t bet
Chapter 296: No Gambling
The character of the Bai family, their kindness and concern for all people in the world, and their compassion and righteousness for the world, are the qualities that a monarch should have.
Whether the eldest girl is paving the way for Bai Qingjue, the seventh son of the Bai family, or intends to become the empress, Ji Tingyu is willing to sacrifice his flesh and blood to pave the way for the eldest girl, without any regrets whether he lives or dies.
When Bai Qingyan returned to Qinghui Courtyard, Doctor Hong had been waiting there for a long time.
“Miss, Doctor Hong is here…” Nanny Tong stepped forward and said to Bai Qingyan.
When Doctor Hong learned that Bai Qingyan had returned, he stepped out of the door and bowed to Bai Qingyan: “Princess.”
Chun Tao couldn’t help but smiled softly, “In our mansion, the way we address our daughter is really messy. Sometimes we call her Princess and sometimes we call her Big Daughter.”
Bai Qingyan smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Doctor Hong: “Doctor Hong, please call me Miss!”
After entering the room, the absent-minded Chun Xing served tea to Doctor Hong, then left the upper room with Nanny Tong. Chun Tao waited at the door for instructions.
After checking Bai Qingyan’s pulse, Doctor Hong lowered his voice and said, “The poison in Emperor Yan’s body is very strange. When it attacks, the symptoms are like the poison called Rujie, and also like Qixingsan. The pulse also seems to be poisoned by Guihuncao. I guess the reason why the previous doctors could not diagnose Emperor Yan’s illness is because these three poisons interacted and merged in Emperor Yan’s body to form a new poison. Therefore, no one can diagnose what kind of poison it is, and it is also very difficult to detoxify. If the dosage of the medicine is slightly wrong, Emperor Yan’s life can be taken in a breath.”
This is related to the secrets of the Yan royal family…
Bai Qingyan tapped his fingers on the table from time to time: “Doctor Hong, do you have any treatment methods?”
“Yes…” Doctor Hong nodded and put away his pulse pillow. “If it can be used on the Emperor of Great Yan, it would mean taking a risk with the whole country. I am from Jin… I believe the Emperor of Yan is still hesitant. Although the Emperor of Yan said that he would consider it for a few days, I don’t think the Emperor of Yan would agree in the end.”
Bai Qingyan didn’t think so. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked, “If Emperor Yan asks Doctor Hong to treat him, how confident is Doctor Hong?”
Under the bright candlelight in the room, Doctor Hong held up two fingers and said, “Twenty percent.”
“Doctor Hong, you should be prepared. If the Emperor of Yan really asks you to come over for treatment, you won’t be caught off guard.” She looked up at Doctor Hong, “Doctor Hong, do you have anything else to say?”
Doctor Hong said in a low voice: “Today at the Emperor of Yan’s place, I saw a Rongdi man in disguise. When I entered the room… the Rongdi man disguised as a vegetable vendor was walking out with many thanks. I guess… it should be that Dayan is going to help the Rongdi. I just don’t know whether Dayan intends to help the northern Rong or the southern Rong.”
After hearing this, Bai Qingyan’s expression became calm.
With Xiao Rongyan’s intelligence, she could think of the benefits of sending troops to help Rongdi at this time, and he could naturally think of it as well.
Now the envoys of Northern Rong and Southern Rong are all in the capital city, and the attitude of the Jin Emperor is ambiguous. He does not say whether he will send troops to help Northern Rong, nor does he agree to sit on the sidelines and watch. The Southern Rong, on the other hand, is sitting firmly… Of course, the Northern Rong can’t wait and is looking for help everywhere.
The Jin Emperor does not want to rule the world, he only wants to maintain the prosperity in front of him, so he dare not gamble… and cannot gamble!
But Dayan is different. Xiao Rongyan has a broad mind and looks at the whole world. He dares to gamble.
As for whether Dayan will help the Southern Rong or the Northern Rong, it is not difficult to guess.
The Emperor of Rongdi died in the Snow Palace after being seriously injured while hunting. Logically, the crown prince should have succeeded to the throne. However, the Emperor of Rongdi’s younger brother, Afumu, held the edict that allowed him to succeed to the throne and proclaimed himself king, which was not legitimate.
When Dayan recovered Southern Yan, it was under the banner of restoring the orthodox rule, so Dayan could only help Rongdi to rule Northern Rong, so… it would be more logical.
But this is also a big gamble for Dayan. If Dayan sends troops to attack Rongdi at this time and other countries invade… Dayan will be in danger.
It’s a pity that she has no available soldiers at the moment, otherwise… this would be a good time to take advantage of the Rongdi and take advantage of the chaos to insert her own troops into the Rongdi territory.
Bai Qingyan clenched his fists, the opportunity was rare and would not come again, but he had no one with him… He really had no time to spare, if he forcibly sent someone to Rongdi, he would probably be stretched to the limit.
She sighed softly: “Dr. Hong has worked hard today, go back and rest early!”
Doctor Hong nodded and told Bai Qingyan: “Although the young lady has recovered a little, she is still weaker than an ordinary person. I will prepare some medicinal food for her and ask Madam Tong to prepare it for her every day.”
“Thank you, Doctor Hong.” She called Chuntao with a smile, asked her to send Doctor Hong back, and called Nanny Tong in.
Nanny Tong brought in a plate of bird’s nest cake and coaxed Bai Qingyan to eat some like a child.
“Madam, do you think Chun Xing has done her job well during the days I’m away?” Bai Qingyan ate a piece of bird’s nest cake, picked up the teacup and asked Madam Tong in a low voice.
“This kid is a good one. He does his duty as a clerk, but he will never do more than what he is supposed to do.”
There was something hidden in what Madam Tong said. She would never do anything beyond her duty… even if the oil bottle fell over and it was not her job to help, she would never lend a hand.
Having a servant like this around can only serve you, and you can’t rely on him for anything else.
What she needed was… a useful maid. Although Chun Xing was impeccable, she was not suitable to serve her.
After Chun Xing gets married, the position of the head maid will be vacated and other suitable people can be appointed.
She took a sip of tea, was silent for a moment and asked, “I think Chun Xing is sixteen this year, right?”
“My dear young lady, she’s seventeen…” Nanny Tong immediately understood what Bai Qingyan meant. “My dear young lady, do you want to find a family to release Chun Xing?”
She nodded, stroking the teacup with her fingers, thinking of Chun Xing’s family situation, and smiled: “Madam, I trust your ability to judge people. Find a family for Chun Xing that is honest and decent, with a simple and wealthy family, and parents-in-law who are easy to get along with. But Chun Xing must see them first and be satisfied with them.”
“Don’t worry, Miss. I will pay close attention to Miss Chunxing’s affairs.”
Before going to sleep, Bai Qingyan added weight to the iron sandbag under his arm and did horse stance in the yard, hoping to pick up the silver spear as soon as possible.
After Bai Qingyan finished practicing, Chuntao asked someone to prepare water for Bai Qingyan to bathe as usual.
Chun Xing was not on duty tonight, but she did not take a rest and took the initiative to comb Bai Qingyan’s hair.
Chun Xing was at Nanny Tong’s place and heard that the eldest girl had asked Nanny Tong to find a family for her. She turned pale at first, thinking that the eldest girl had rejected her. But Nanny Tong said that the eldest girl had instructed her to look at it and nod before she could do so. Chun Xing was so happy.
The eldest girl vowed not to marry in her life, so she no longer had any hope of becoming a concubine along with the girl, so she didn’t want to waste any time staying with the eldest girl.
My dears, I had some things to do at home today, so I didn’t have time to finish writing. There are two more chapters…I will update them tomorrow at noon.
