Chapter 673 Absurd
Soon, Quan Yu saw the guards and Bai Jinzhi returning. He hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, “I will lead the way for Princess Gaoyi!”
“How could I get lost in the Prince’s Mansion?” Bai Jinzhi still looked nonchalant and indifferent.
Quan Yu just smiled without saying anything and made a gesture of invitation to Bai Jinzhi.
Quan Yu led Bai Jinzhi out of the long corridor with carved beams and painted buildings. Seeing that there was no one around, he spoke up and reminded her: “Princess Gaoyi, you must remember… Your Highness has his own difficulties. No matter what Your Highness says later, you must put the Crown Prince’s legitimate son in the Crown Princess’s womb first, and Your Highness first! Otherwise, I’m afraid it will bring trouble to the Princess Zhenguo.”
Bai Jinzhi was slightly startled and looked towards Quanyu, quite surprised. She was about to speak, but when she saw a row of eunuchs holding chrysanthemums heading towards the Crown Princess, she pursed her lips and said nothing, following Quanyu all the way to the Crown Prince’s study.
“Your Highness, do you have something to tell you? Why did you call me back?” Bai Jinzhi bowed and sat aside. He looked at the prince with clear and bright eyes. He seemed to be a person who could be seen into someone’s heart at a glance and had no scheming at all.
The prince stroked the armrest of the chair and sighed, “I have always known about the military rations you mentioned, but… this matter involves the Crown Princess’s brother. Now that the Crown Princess is pregnant, I… have to take care of her. So let’s stop here. Just think of it as my own fault. Don’t investigate further! I can also promise that this kind of thing will never happen again!”
Bai Jinzhi was shocked and immediately thought of Quanyu’s reminder just now. She resisted the urge to look in Quanyu’s direction, but she didn’t understand… why Quanyu reminded her. Was it the prince’s intention?
The prince carefully observed Bai Jinzhi’s expression and saw that Bai Jinzhi’s brows were knitted tightly as if she was thinking carefully. The prince lowered his eyes and spoke again: “Before I was not the prince, the Crown Princess was pregnant but failed to keep the baby, so… I attach great importance to the Crown Princess’s pregnancy.”
Bai Jinzhi frowned even more tightly. Is this why the prince didn’t care about the ration problem of the soldiers guarding the border? ! Ridiculous or not!
Those are soldiers guarding the border!
If Daliang attacks, how can we win if we don’t even have enough to eat? How many soldiers will die, and how many lives will be lost to recapture the lost city? !
Could it be that the lives of those soldiers are no longer important?
Bai Jinzhi clenched her fists and tried to control her emotions. Since Quanyu had reminded her, she couldn’t just keep being stubborn.
“But what about the rations of those soldiers? Are we going to let them eat rations mixed with sand and gravel…to guard the border for His Majesty and His Highness?!” Bai Jinzhi’s voice rose as he spoke.
Quan Yu secretly broke into a cold sweat. He had already reminded her, so why was Princess Gaoyi still questioning the Crown Prince so directly!
“Don’t worry, I have already reprimanded the Crown Princess’s brother. The military rations mixed with sand and gravel have been dealt with. The rations and grass sent to the border now… are all clean! This kind of thing will not happen again in the future. You have to believe me.”
Bai Jinzhi frowned, and stood up to salute the prince after a long while, saying, “My elder sister has brought my Bai family to join His Royal Highness. Even if there are some things that I cannot agree with, I know that His Royal Highness must have difficulties to say so. Bai Jinzhi obeys your orders… I will not continue to investigate this matter, but please make sure to supervise and prevent this from happening again. They are all soldiers guarding the border for His Majesty and His Royal Highness.”
Hearing this, the prince glanced at Mr. Fang and spoke to Bai Jinzhi more warmly: “Don’t worry, since I have promised… I will definitely not let such a thing happen again!”
“In that case, Bai Jinzhi will take his leave first…” Bai Jinzhi bowed deeply, fearing that if he stayed here any longer, he would not be able to control himself and would yell at this selfish prince who treated his soldiers like grass.
“Okay!” The prince nodded, “Go back and spend more time with the Princess. If the Princess needs any hard-to-find medicinal herbs, just come to the prince’s mansion to get them!”
“Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!” After expressing his gratitude, Bai Jinzhi bid farewell to the Crown Prince, walked out of the Crown Prince’s Mansion with a gloomy face, rode back to the Bai Mansion, and went straight to Qinghui Courtyard with a heart full of anger.
Bai Jinzhitong had already stood up and sat under the window frame. After Bai Qingyan finished speaking, he was so angry that he grabbed a piece of dessert and chewed it hard: “If we hand over Jin to such a prince, I think our Jin will be on the verge of self-destruction!”
“Be careful with your words!” Bai Qingyan handed the tea to Bai Jinzhi.
“I know!” Bai Jinzhi took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then placed the cup heavily on the small square table. “I’m just saying it in front of my elder sister!”
The issue of the Northern Frontier military rations was suppressed by the Crown Prince, so Bai Qingyan was not surprised…
She just didn’t believe that the generals guarding the northern border would not report to the emperor after seeing such food!
But, Xiaosi just said that Quanyu gave her some advice.
All Fishing…
Bai Qingyan had never paid much attention to her before. She only knew that Quan Yu had grown up with the prince since childhood, and that she was pretty and beautiful, and it seemed that he always took extra care of her, intentionally or unintentionally.
Bai Jinzhi also thought of Quan Yu, and turned her head to look at Bai Qingyan: “Eldest sister, is Eunuch Quan Yu the secret agent that you arranged to be by the side of the prince?”
“The prince is older than me, and Eunuch Quanyu has been with the prince since he was a child. How could I arrange for this person to be by his side in advance!” Bai Qingyan saw Bai Jinzhi finish his tea and start to stuff snacks into his mouth, and pushed the small silver cup of yogurt in front of Bai Jinzhi, “In the future, you just need to be polite to this Eunuch Quanyu.”
As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, Chuntao came in through the curtain and saluted, saying, “Young lady, the maidservant beside the Crown Princess brought some nourishing herbs, saying that she came to see you on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and she has already entered the hanging flower gate.”
Bai Jinzhi swallowed the snack in her mouth with force, choked and pounded her chest with her fist, then picked up the silver cup and gulped down the yogurt, then stood up and said to Bai Qingyan, “Eldest sister, go lie down on the bed quickly, don’t let the maid next to the Crown Princess notice anything.”
Bai Qingyan nodded, slowly removed the plush blanket covering his legs, and slowly stood up with Chuntao’s hand. The movement made the wound painful, so she frowned and endured it, walking towards the bed.
“Be careful, young lady!” Chuntao whispered.
Bai Qingyan sat on the bed. Chuntao had made the bed. Then she heard the maid outside the door come and report that the nanny of the Crown Princess had arrived.
Seeing Bai Qingyan nod, Chuntao walked around the screen, lowered the curtain, and came out of the room.
The nanny was plump, dressed in royal blue satin clothes. Her words and actions did not seem like a servant. Rather, she looked like an old lady from a wealthy family who followed extremely strict rules. She dressed more decently than old ladies from families of slightly lower rank.
Chuntao bowed to the maid and opened the curtain to invite her in.
