The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 695: Acacia
Chapter 695 Lovesickness
Bai Qingyan’s fingers, as cold as jade tubes, covered the back of Xiao Rongyan’s hand and gently grasped his strong wrist bones: “Dayan wants to destroy Wei, which has aroused my fighting spirit.”
Xiao Rongyan was not surprised at all that Bai Qingyan could see what he was planning. He wanted to destroy Wei. Firstly, to let the other nations know that Yan was no longer the Yan of yesterday. Secondly, to lay the foundation for future great undertakings.
“Destroy Liang?” Xiao Rongyan asked.
Bai Qingyan nodded: “It’s a pity… Jin State is not ruled by me alone. The emperor… or the crown prince! They are afraid of becoming the target of public criticism and will not easily send troops to destroy a country.”
“It seems… I might be able to get ahead of Abao, unify the world, and marry Abao.” Xiao Rongyan said as he lowered his head and approached Bai Qingyan, gently touching her lips. The hand that was clasped on Bai Qingyan’s shoulder slid to her slender waist, and he pulled her towards him, released her lips, stroked the corner of her lips with his thumb, and just stared at her quietly.
If there weren’t a wall between the two of them, Xiao Rongyan would have already hugged Bai Qingyan in his arms to relieve his deep longing for Bai Qingyan for so many days.
Her whole body was enveloped by Xiao Rongyan’s aura. The restrained fragrance of agarwood forcefully invaded her lungs, making her breathing a little disordered and her heartbeat became intense.
Bai Qingyan tightened her grip on Xiao Rongyan’s wrist, stood on tiptoe, and their noses touched… She heard Xiao Rongyan’s extremely heavy breathing. He held Bai Qingyan’s face and pressed down with his hot lips, no longer just a quick taste. He wished he could carry Bai Qingyan out of the window, wrap her in his cloak, take Bai Qingyan away, and keep her by his side forever.
But he knew that Bai Qingyan was not the kind of woman who was content to just stand behind a man, not to mention that her mind and ambitions… were so lofty that Xiao Rongyan also regarded Bai Qingyan as an equal opponent.
Xiao Rongyan only wants to unify the world as soon as possible and marry Bai Qingyan as soon as possible.
Hearing the rustling sound coming from outside, Bai Qingyan hurriedly pushed Xiao Rongyan away and turned to look outside the curtain. Fearing that he would disturb the sleepy little girl, he lowered his voice and said to Xiao Rongyan, “Go back and have a rest!”
Xiao Rongyan’s throat rolled, and he suppressed his heavy breathing. He raised his hand to tuck Bai Qingyan’s hair behind her ears, kissed her lips again, and then said: “Tomorrow, I won’t be able to celebrate Abao’s birthday. When the war is settled, I will make it up to you!”
Bai Qingyan nodded, his ears so red that blood seemed to drip out.
Estimating the time, Xiao Rongyan was afraid that the secret guard would come back, so he said goodbye to Bai Qingyan reluctantly, put on his hood, and disappeared into the moonlit night sky.
Bai Qingyan stood in front of the open window, looking down at the birthday gift Xiao Rongyan had specially sent, and opened the box…
Inside was a pair of jade bracelets, reflecting a condensed and delicate luster under the moonlight.
Rather than calling them bracelets, Bai Qingyan felt that these bracelets were so exquisitely crafted that one could not bear to wear them. They were treasures that made one want to display them on a display stand.
This jadeite is the purest imperial green, thick and deep. The edge of the round bracelet is carved into a bean pod shape, and red beans can be vaguely seen in the slightly cracked bean pod…
These red beans are made from red corals that have been polished into red bean granules and are firmly embedded in it. At first glance… one would really think that these are red beans.
Not to mention that this jade bracelet is flawless and a rare treasure in the world, the carving is even more exquisite. Bai Qingyan couldn’t even guess how the sculptor embedded the red bean coral into it and could not help but marvel at it.
Bai Qingyan’s eyes fell on the coral red beans faintly visible in the pod, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly… Red beans represent lovesickness.
Xiao Rongyan really has this in mind.
Hearing the sound of the little maid waking up, Bai Qingyan put the jade bracelet back into the brocade box and closed the window. Then she saw the little girl kneeling down with a terrified look on her face: “Big…Big Miss! Damn this servant! I didn’t know that the big lady woke up! Do you want some hot water?”
“You don’t have to stay here, go back and rest!” Bai Qingyan said.
“Miss…” The little girl raised her head and looked at the cloak on Bai Qingyan with tears in her eyes, “Miss, is there anything you need? It’s all my fault. I fell asleep! Please calm down, Miss! I will get whatever you need right away!”
Seeing Bai Qingyan smiling, he said, “Go ahead! I don’t need anyone to serve me here.”
Seeing that Bai Qingyan was not angry, the little girl kowtowed and left the upper room with her bedding, but she couldn’t understand… their eldest daughter was wearing a cloak, so where was she going?
She turned her head to look inside the house, but didn’t dare to ask more questions. After thinking about it, she simply wrapped herself tightly with a quilt at the door of the upper room, reminding herself not to fall asleep, so that she would not miss what the young lady wanted.
The eldest girl is still hurt. Although she is generous and doesn’t care about it, they, as maids, still have to fulfill their duties.
The next morning, Chun Tao got up early because she was worried about Bai Qingyan’s injury. She came out of the side room while fastening her clothes. She was startled to see the maid who had been on guard last night standing outside the door. She quickly trotted to the corridor, squatted down and woke the sleeping maid up: “Why are you outside?!”
The little maid raised her head in a daze and wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve: “Sister Chuntao…”
“Why didn’t you stay in there and take good care of the girl?” Chuntao asked hurriedly.
“The eldest lady asked me to go back and rest, but I was worried and kept guarding outside. I didn’t expect that I would fall asleep.” The little maid sneezed as she spoke, and quickly raised her hand to rub her nose.
Chun Tao frowned, looked at the dazed little girl, and said, “Alright, alright! Go back to sleep! I’ll watch over you here, young lady!”
Chuntao shouldn’t have agreed when the girl volunteered to keep watch yesterday. After all, she was still young. Most likely, the girl fell asleep in the middle of the night, and the older girl was soft-hearted. Seeing that the girl was sleeping soundly, she let the little girl go back to rest.
Chuntao watched the little girl leave with her bedding roll, thinking of going back to talk to the eldest girl and promoting Chunzhi to a first-class maid. Chunzhi was a down-to-earth person, and Nanny Tong also said she was not bad, unlike that guy who was so arrogant that he didn’t know his own worth.
If Chunzhi could really be promoted to the eldest maid, she would feel more at ease if she and Chunzhi took turns to keep watch at night.
As for the others, you can choose them carefully again later.
Bai Qingyan had a good night’s sleep and had just finished washing up when Dong and Dong Tingzhen came with Nanny Qin. Nanny Qin was holding a black lacquered and gold-painted food box with a bowl of longevity noodles in it, which was made by Dong herself early this morning.
The soup for the noodles was made by Dong Tingzhen for Bai Qingyan early in the morning.
Bai Qingyan ate a bowl of hot longevity noodles, which warmed his heart. As he was wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, Dong Tingzhen turned around, took a mahogany box from the maid and handed it to Bai Qingyan.
