The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 675 Loyalty
“Let’s wait and see if the Crown Prince can really handle the military rations issue properly as he said. If the Crown Prince doesn’t keep his word, it won’t be too late to make a big fuss.”
Bai Qingyan’s meaning was very clear. What they wanted now was stability. As long as the soldiers on the border no longer had to eat food mixed with sand and gravel, things would be settled.
But if the Crown Prince cannot handle the matter properly and secretly continues to let the Crown Princess’s brother do such unscrupulous things, even if it causes another sudden uproar, Bai Qingyan cannot stay out of it.
The Bai family has been a family of military men for generations, and what they care about most are their fellow soldiers who fought and sacrificed their lives with them.
No matter how rotten a country is at heart, it must never betray the soldiers guarding its borders. This is the bottom line of a country.
Bai Qingyan looked at Doctor Hong who was drinking tea and said, “Doctor Hong, have you packed up all the herbs and books? We are leaving for Shuoyang on the 25th.”
When Doctor Hong moved, he didn’t take much other stuff with him, just a lot of medical books and medicinal herbs.
Logically speaking, the herbs can be bought anywhere, but Doctor Hong prefers to pick them and dry them by hand. Even before you get close to Doctor Hong’s yard, you can smell the medicinal scent from a distance.
“Don’t worry, young lady. As long as you don’t scare an old man like me once in a while, on the 25th… I will definitely leave with you in a safe and peaceful manner!” said Doctor Hong.
Bai Jinse raised her hand to cover her lips and laughed. She was really shocked to hear that her elder sister vomited blood today. Doctor Hong must be angry with her elder sister…

After the Crown Princess’s personal nanny returned home, she immediately apologized to the Crown Princess and told her everything about how she had taken the initiative to beat up Princess Zhenguo’s mansion and made Bai Qingyan so angry that he vomited blood.
The Crown Princess was so shocked that she almost dropped the jade ruyi in her hand. Her throat was churning and she asked hurriedly, “How is the Princess Zhenguo now?”
“My dear Crown Princess, when I left, the Zhenguo Princess’s courtyard was in chaos, so I didn’t dare to stay for long… and just came back!” The nanny kowtowed to the Crown Princess, “I didn’t expect it to be so serious. I just think that the Zhenguo Princess’s mansion has stretched its hands too far, even controlling the grain and grass of the northern border!”
“The Princess Zhenguo is the person His Highness values the most! How could you…” The Crown Princess raised her hand and covered her abdomen, feeling extremely anxious.
“It is precisely because of this that I want to warn the Princess Zhenguo on behalf of the Crown Princess. Think about it, Crown Princess… After all, the Princess Zhenguo is a woman, born with such a stunning appearance, and is deeply trusted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. What if… I mean what if the Princess Zhenguo uses politics as an excuse to get along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, and something happens, and she enters the Crown Prince’s mansion… Crown Princess, think about it carefully, do you still have a place to stand?”
The Crown Princess’ frown suddenly relaxed, and she looked at the nanny kneeling on the ground: “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already told me that he wants to bring Princess Zhenguo together with Mr. Xiao! Why are you…”
“That is true, but Crown Princess… do you think Mr. Xiao and Princess Zhenguo have any intention of getting married? I have heard that Mr. Xiao has been visiting every day for a while but has not seen Princess Zhenguo. Who knows… Princess Zhenguo may be waiting to replace you!” The nanny kowtowed to the Crown Princess, her voice filled with tears. She really loved her wholeheartedly.
“No!” The Crown Princess’s face turned pale, “Then… the Zhenguo Princess is infertile, the Crown Prince will never let her enter the Crown Prince’s Mansion!”
“I knew the Crown Princess would think this way. I have watched her grow up and know that she is pure-hearted. But one must be on guard against others. Think about it… After the Princess Zhenguo risked her life to save His Royal Highness, has His Royal Highness treated the Princess Zhenguo better? After Princess Gaoyi left today, His Royal Highness knew that the Crown Princess was pregnant and couldn’t leave me! He even came to ask the Crown Princess to send me to the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion and promised in her name that I would take good care of your brother! But why? You are the Crown Princess… Why should you bow down to a Princess Zhenguo!”
The Crown Princess clenched the Ruyi in her hand and said, “Mammy, please stop talking! The Crown Prince and I are one. If the Princess Zhenguo hadn’t risked her life to save the Crown Prince, this time, I and this child in my belly would be nothing!”
“Crown Princess!” The old maid kowtowed and cried bitterly.
“Don’t say this in front of me again, otherwise… Madam, just go back to my mother on your own!” The Crown Princess had a firm attitude, and in her heart she had already started thinking about how to make amends.
No matter what, the prince is her husband, and this matter cannot be hidden from the prince… I have to tell the prince first.

As soon as the hour of Xu arrived, the eldest princess, the second wife Liu, and Bai Jinxiu, who had rushed back to the Bai family after hearing the news, escorted the prince out of the gate of Princess Zhenguo’s mansion.
Today, the nanny beside the Crown Princess made trouble and made Princess Zhenguo so angry that she vomited blood. The Crown Prince had her dragged out and beaten with twenty sticks. The Crown Princess did not beg for mercy, but instead begged the Crown Prince to go to her house and apologize to Princess Zhenguo on her behalf.
The Crown Princess spoke very beautifully, saying that she was the Crown Prince’s wife and regarded the Crown Prince as her heaven. Princess Zhenguo risked her life to save her heaven, and in this life she would only regard Princess Zhenguo as her benefactor, not to mention being her servant…even she would never put on airs in front of Princess Zhenguo.
After hearing this, the prince was deeply moved and felt that the Crown Princess was worthy of being his wife and was the one who could understand him the most, unlike the concubine… who was worried all day long about what was going on between him and the Princess Zhenguo.
The prince acknowledged Bai Qingyan’s stunning beauty, but he had seen Bai Qingyan kill people, and he had seen Bai Qingyan look heroic in military uniform, with an awe-inspiring and dignified aura. How could he have the desire to get close to her?
The prince came personally again with supplements, but this time it was the Grand Princess who received the prince, and the prince did not see Bai Qingyan.
The last ray of glow in the sky had not yet faded, and the top of the capital city gradually became darker as if it had been splashed with ink.
The moon rose above the treetops, illuminating the surrounding clouds that looked like floating white jade, and the starlight gradually became clearer.
Bai Jinxiu supported the eldest princess and stood under two lit sheepskin lanterns in the Princess Zhenguo Mansion, watching the prince’s magnificent carriage slowly drive towards the long street…the place with warm and bright lights.
The autumn wind is bleak and the chill is biting.
“Grandma, let’s go back!” Bai Jinxiu whispered.
The eldest princess held the shiny black tiger-head cane, nodded, held Bai Jinxiu’s hand, turned around and walked towards the brightly lit Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion.
“Your mother will accompany me. You should go see your elder sister! You arrived just after the crown prince arrived, and you haven’t had time to see your elder sister…” The eldest princess smiled at Bai Jinxiu and said, “Don’t worry too much. Your elder sister is very opinionated. Xiaoqi has come to tell me that it’s not true!”
Bai Jinxiu nodded. She was sitting in the mansion and when she heard her elder sister vomiting blood, she was so scared that her legs and feet went weak.
The monthly ticket is already ranked third! My dear ancestors, hold on! If you hold on, there will be a big update next month!
