The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 440: Touching the Edge
“Princess, Madam Qin, County Lady, Seventh Miss.” Xiao Rongyan smiled and saluted the girls from the Bai family. His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and his voice was mellow and gentle, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
Before, Bai Qingyan was in the northern border, but he had been hearing news about Dayan and Dayi all the time.
Two months ago, while the main force of Dayan was in Rongdi, Wei State dispatched troops to the border of Dayan with the intention of causing trouble and expanding territory. But for some reason, while Wei State deployed troops on the border of Dayan, Dayan did not send troops, and Wei State did not start a war for a long time.
Later, there was news that Dayan had intended to conquer Wei for a long time. Earlier, Dayan had intended to restrain its edge and wanted to first take back the lost territory of Southern Yan and then attack Wei.
After Dayan recaptured Southern Yan, its national strength increased greatly. Now it is waiting for Wei to take action against it, so that it can legitimately attack Wei and occupy its cities and lands.
It was for this reason that the State of Wei hesitated and did not dare to move. Unexpectedly, in early July, Xie Xun, a fierce general of the Great Yan, led the main force of the Great Yan back to the country and headed straight for the border of the Great Yan. The envoys of the Great Yan also entered the royal city of the Wei State on the order of the Great Yan emperor, and bluntly stated that if the Great Wei did not withdraw the border troops within half a month, the Great Yan would regard it as a declaration of war by the State of Wei.
At this time, Dayan had completely controlled Rongdi and obtained natural pastures. It was a time of strong military power. How could Dayi dare to challenge it?
The civil war between Rong and Di came to a temporary halt, but Dayan did not completely wipe out the Southern Rong, which was what Dayan wanted.
Now Dayan has stationed troops in Rongdi in the name of helping Rongdi, and also claimed that Dayan is in danger, so it withdrew all its main forces back to Dayan on the grounds that Dayan’s elite soldiers should first protect their motherland.
The Southern Rong frequently caused trouble, and the Rongdi needed to rely on the Yan army. The Wei State’s move to deploy troops on the border of Dayan seemed to make Dayan unable to take care of itself and had to withdraw its main force from the Southern Rong, but secretly… it allowed Dayan to gain all the benefits.
When Bai Qingyan heard the news in the northern border, he thought of Xiao Rongyan’s hasty departure from Shuoyang and return to Wei that night, and immediately guessed that this was Xiao Rongyan’s work.
Last year, Dayan was still a country trying to survive in the cracks. Other countries mocked it for being small and poor, as if any country could easily destroy it. However, it quietly became self-reliant and strong, and after taking back the fertile land of Southern Yan, even Dayan did not dare to go to war with it easily.
Bai Qingyan has seen Xiao Rongyan’s ambition to conquer the world from his actions and plans. He is making steady preparations for the future great cause of Dayan.
The royal family of Jin, whether it was the crown prince or the emperor, were only thinking about the art of balancing intrigues and intrigues.
As their eyes met, Bai Qingyan could not help but think of what happened in the pavilion at Bai Mansion in Shuoyang that night. He tightened his hands behind his back and nodded slightly: “Mr. Xiao.”
The prince lowered his eyes and smiled, thinking that Xiao Rongyan was traveling day and night for his sweetheart, wanting to welcome Bai Qingyan who had returned triumphantly.
“The eldest and fourth sisters are finally back safely. When the Grand Princess heard that the fourth sister was injured, she was so scared that she had a high fever for several days. She knelt down all day to pray to God for protection. Finally… the eldest and fourth sisters are back!” Nanny Jiang wiped her tears with a handkerchief and choked up, “Where is the eldest sister? Is she injured? She has never spoken when she is injured since she was a child. The Grand Princess is very worried.”
Bai Qingyan smiled at Nanny Jiang and said, “Don’t worry, Nanny, I’m not hurt!”
After saying that, Bai Qingyan looked at the prince.
“Your Highness.” Bai Qingyan bowed to the prince and said, “When I came to Shuoyang, my grandmother was not feeling well. Now that the war in the northern border has settled, I want to go to Qing’an to visit my grandmother. I would like to ask Your Highness to plead my case to His Majesty on my behalf. I am really worried about my grandmother. I am afraid I will not be able to attend the banquet in the palace tonight. After visiting my grandmother, I will go to the palace to plead guilty to His Majesty before leaving for Shuoyang tomorrow.”
“Leaving for Shuoyang tomorrow?!” The prince was quite surprised, “So soon?”
“Yan also wants to take fourth sister back to Shuoyang as soon as possible to avoid worrying my mother and aunt.” Bai Qingyan said.
The prince glanced at Xiao Rongyan, intending to bring them together, and nodded, saying, “I wonder if Rongyan would be willing to escort the princess, the county lady, Madam Qin, and the seventh girl of the Bai family to Qing’an for me?”
Xiao Rongyan hurriedly bowed to the ground: “How dare Yan disobey the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?”
Without waiting for her elder sister to politely decline, Bai Jinzhi immediately thanked Xiao Rongyan: “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Xiao!”
The prince smiled meaningfully at Xiao Rongyan, and helped Quan Yu get into the carriage.
Bai Jinxiu glanced sideways at Bai Jinzhi, lowered her eyes and tightened her hand on her belly slightly. The fact that Xiao Rongyan was in love with her elder sister was almost known to everyone in the capital. Bai Jinxiu knew why the prince was trying to introduce her elder sister to someone else, but why did Xiao Si do this?
Could it be that the eldest sister also has feelings for Mr. Xiao, the wealthy businessman from Wei?
But based on Bai Jinxiu’s understanding of her elder sister, she knew that until the Bai family was revived and could threaten the Lin family’s imperial power, her elder sister would never talk about her children’s private affairs.
“Princess, please!” Xiao Rongyan made a gesture of invitation to Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan did not hesitate and told Lupin to send Shen Qingzhu and Ji Langhua back to the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion. He then got on Bai Jinxiu’s carriage and asked Bai Jinzhi to ride in the same carriage with Xiaoqi and Bai Jinse to have a good talk. He also told Bai Jinse to take good care of the injured Bai Jinzhi.
Nanny Jiang heard that Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu had something to say, and hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, eldest sister, I will take care of you!”
“Thank you for your hard work, Madam!” Bai Qingyan nodded to Madam Jiang.
When Bai Jinzhi helped Bai Qingyan get on the carriage, he lowered his voice and said to Bai Qingyan, “Sister, Mr. Xiao must have known that you were going to Dadu today, so he rushed back here at full speed!”
Bai Jinxiu nodded Bai Jinzhi’s head and gave Bai Jinzhi a warning look: “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Bai Jinzhi smiled and bowed to Bai Jinxiu politely, “Yes! As you command!”
Bai Jinxiu was so embarrassed by Bai Jinzhi that she had no choice but to get on the carriage.
It was now July, and Bai Jinxiu was nearly eight months pregnant. Her belly was already very big, so Xiao Rongyan specifically ordered the carriage to go slower.
Xiao Rongyan’s carriage was in the front, and the guards with swords rode on horseback on both sides, escorting the three carriages slowly towards the Royal Qing’an.
Quan Yu turned around and saw Bai Qingyan and his group getting on the carriage and leaving, so he reported to the prince.
The prince was in a good mood today. He nodded, closed his eyes and leaned on the pillow.
In the battle of Southern Xinjiang, he had praised Bai Qingyan as the God of Death. Many people had mocked him at the time. Of course… the mockery was in line with the prince’s wishes.
And now, after the battle between Beijiang and Daliang, Bai Qingyan can be said to have become famous among the nations once again. Even if he is not yet worthy of the title of a killing god, he is definitely a general that makes other nations tremble with fear!
With such a powerful general guarding the Jin State, how could they still fear invasion from other countries? !
But… Bai Qingyan’s body is a big problem!
Before Jin State has a new powerful general who can shock other nations, Bai Qingyan must not die!
