Bai Yanqing's biological mother, Ji Jinchu, was educated in the etiquette and knowledge of ladies since she was a child. Although she was born into a family of military generals, she was not half as rough and arrogant as the daughter of military generals. On the contrary, her temperament was gentle and modest, her thoughts were delicate, and she was thoughtful in everything she did.
You won’t fight or grab, but you won’t let anyone gain the upper hand.
It is precisely because of this that after Ji Jin first married into the Bai Mansion, she and Bai Jingxuan also had a loving and happy life.
Before Ji Jinchu's life came to an end, she had quietly started to arrange everything related to the rest of her daughter's life!
Everything from Bai Yanqing's future to Bai Yanqing's daily residence was arranged for her. And now this courtyard named Nianchu Xiaozhu was chosen by Ji Jinchu herself! Back then, Ji Jinchu was still there by herself
I have lived in this courtyard for a while!
The small courtyard that Ji Jinchu chose was not very spacious in the huge Bai Mansion, but it was in a quiet location, not far from Bai Jingxuan's residence. This would allow him to visit his daughter from time to time when he was free. Ji Jinchu thought privately.
By doing so, my daughter can have a short, pure and happy time when she is young.
It's just that despite all his calculations, Ji Jinchu probably didn't expect that Bai Yanqing would be ruthlessly abandoned by the Ren family to Zhuangzi!
Bai Yanqing's temperament followed Ji Jinchu's, and he liked peace and quiet. Therefore, in the early years, there were not many people in the hospital, only two rough ladies and one or two girls serving tea and water.
Times have changed, and the Baifu today is not the same as before, and I don’t know if the Nianchu Xiaozhu today is still the same as before.
At that time, when Bai Yanqing and Caixing returned hand in hand, the courtyard was already brightly lit.
The girl and mother-in-law in the courtyard had cleaned the entire courtyard before, prepared the lamps early, hung up the red lanterns, and were waiting for the return of their master.
"The lady is back!"
A pretty little girl stretched her neck at the entrance of the courtyard. Only when she saw the person in front of her clearly did she excitedly call into the courtyard.
Not long after, several hurried footsteps were heard in the courtyard.
"Miss! Yes Miss! Yes Miss! Yes Miss!"
Following several calls, followed by several women, the girl knelt on the ground.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly!"
Bai Yanqing'e frowned slightly and hurriedly stepped forward to help up the people kneeling on the ground.
The servants of the Bai family, except for the children born in the family, are all replaced one after another. Most of them are unknown to Bai Yanqing. Judging from the current situation, there will be no servants of the Bai family.
A few people who know themselves well and are loyal enough to pay themselves such a big gift!
"Miss...but...do you still remember the old slave?"
The old woman who was helped up by Bai Yanqing raised her head slightly and said with a trembling voice.
By the light of the lantern at the entrance of the courtyard, Bai Yanqing squinted her eyes and took a closer look at the old woman in front of her, and then a burst of ecstasy surged in her heart.
"Aunt Zhao! Are you always Aunt Zhao?"
"Hey! It's the old slave! It's the old slave! Miss still remembers! Miss still remembers!"
The woman who was called Aunt Zhao was bursting into tears with excitement. She grabbed her sleeve to wipe the corners of her eyes, and excitedly held Bai Yanqing's hand, refusing to let go.
"This...is Grandma Li?"
Bai Yanqing carefully looked at the two women in front of her again and again until she confirmed that the grandmother next to her was also someone she knew well!
"Yes, yes, it's an old slave. I just said that our young lady has a good nature and will never forget our old sisters..."
The one who was called Grandma Li raised her hand and tugged on Grandma Zhao's sleeve. She was also very excited as she spoke.
"Nuns, how could you... return to the Bai Mansion again?"
The two nuns in front of me were once Ji Jinchu's dowry. Bai Yanqing was also taken care of by them when she was young.
After Ji Jinchu passed away, the two old ladies of the Bai family found an excuse to send them out of the Bai Mansion. For this reason, Bai Yanqing, who was young at the time, cried and made trouble several times, but in the end she could not defeat the Ren family.
The purchase and sale of servants of the Bai family has always been handled by the old lady of the Bai family. According to her temperament, she will never buy Ji Jinchu's old man back to the Bai family! Moreover, considering Ren's dislike of Bai Yanqing,
How could he do what Bai Yanqing wanted?
"It's the master!"
Aunt Zhao answered politely and solved Bai Yanqing's confusion in time.
It turned out to be Bai Jingxuan!
"Come to think of it, I still miss my old relationship..."
Nanny Li on the side was full of gratitude to Bai Jingxuan.
Although Bai Yanqing was a little surprised, there was still a hint of disdain that was imperceptible on her face.
Old love? If her good father really missed the old love, he would not throw the only bloodline left by her mother to Zhuangzi and ignore it for many years. Nor would he become anxious when he thought that her daughter could be used.
Call her back urgently.
Is such a father worthy of talking about old friendships? After all, Bai Yanqing still has grudges against Bai Jingxuan in her heart!
"Come and see Miss!"
After a few people exchanged brief greetings, they then remembered the little girl beside them, and Aunt Zhao hurriedly pulled the little girl over.
"Slave Lian'er, I have met the young lady."
That pretty little girl seemed to have a kind face. She must have been in the mansion before, otherwise she wouldn't have recognized Bai Yanqing at a glance.
Bai Yanqing nodded in response, but she was not as enthusiastic as she had been when she met the two nuns just now. The contrast in attitudes made the girl feel embarrassed for a while, and she secretly thought about whether she had offended the person in front of her in any way when she was in the house.
Miss.
Bai Yanqing didn't mean to embarrass a little girl, but she didn't trust the people in the Bai Mansion, so she was naturally a little more cautious.
Bai Yanqing is the direct daughter of the Bai family and a serious master. She is too lazy to figure out what those girls are thinking or show her kindness.
Returning to the Bai Mansion, Bai Yanqing was full of fighting spirit. When she returned this time, she never thought about letting the old lady of the Bai family control her. No matter how those monsters and monsters toss her, Bai Yanqing would definitely renovate the Bai Mansion.
!
The first day back to Baifu was a good night's sleep.
The next morning.
After Cai Xing's repeated urging, Bai Yanqing reluctantly got up, freshened up briefly, and then, with Cai Xing's support, went to Ren's Courtyard to pay his respects.
When Bai Yanqing arrived, Bai Furong and sisters Lai Feiyan had been sitting in Ren's house for a long time. Seeing Bai Yanqing's late arrival, Ren's face was a little unhappy, and she thought to herself: This little girl has just returned home, and I want to demonstrate to her.
Not successful?
Seeing Bai Yanqing's mistake, Lai Feiyan on the side naturally ridiculed Bai Yanqing many times, openly and implicitly.
As for Bai Yanqing, who was rarely in a good mood, she didn't bother to argue with her. She just bowed to Mrs. Ren and said hello, and then sat aside obediently without saying a word. She just made Lai Feiyan feel lonely and asked for trouble!
Perhaps it was rare to see Bai Yanqing be so well-behaved, and Ren's expression gradually softened a lot.
"I haven't seen you for many days, and Qing'er has become more and more lively."
For the first time, Mrs. Ren actually spoke up and praised Bai Yanqing! This is a strange thing in the world!
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing couldn't help but smile to herself. Wasn't Ren's pretentiousness for some reason?
From the corner of her eyes, Bai Yanqing secretly looked at Bai Furong, her mother and her daughter. Seeing the eagerness on their faces, she sighed inwardly: Do you want to make room for yourself so that the Lai sisters can take the lead?
Seeing this, Bai Yanqing remained silent. She only raised her head slightly and stared at Mr. Ren with a half-smile. Seeing that Bai Yanqing was not answering, Ms. Ren made a fool of herself, suppressed a smile, and then her face darkened a bit.
Haha, no opera singer can match her in the speed of changing her face!
Everyone in the room had their own thoughts. After a brief drink of tea, a boy from the front came to deliver a message, saying: The prime minister has returned home and has something important to discuss with everyone.
What was supposed to come finally came.
Bai Yanqing was not as impatient as Ren and the others. She stood up slowly, straightened her clothes, and then, supported by Cai Xing, she followed the others and walked slowly towards Bai Jingxuan's study.
When everyone arrived, Bai Jingxuan had obviously been waiting for a long time.
"Recently, everyone must be aware of the fact that Your Majesty is going to select a talent show for the princes. This morning, Your Majesty asked Yan Qing to enter the palace to participate in the election."
Bai Jingxuan didn't bother with the crowd, and directly revealed the results.
Although it was expected, Bai Yanqing still caught a glimpse of Lai Feiyan's jealous eyes.
The Ren family acted like a monster many times, just to suppress Bai Yanqing and fight for the Lai sisters. In the end, Bai Jingxuan said "The Holy One wants Yan Qing by name" and Ren family was speechless.
Bai Yanqing is the only bloodline of Ji Jinchu and Bai Jingxuan. Behind her are the huge Ji family and Bai family. It's strange that the Holy Father didn't ask her by name!
As an emperor, of course he wants to be able to control everything! Of course he hopes that the bargaining chip he holds in his hand is the most advantageous! Naturally, he also hopes that the princess chosen by his son must be a powerful enough mother clan!
After all, only such a woman can be worthy of his ninety-five-year-old son!
And what does she have with the Lai family? What she has, I'm afraid it's just a close relationship with the Bai family.
"However... the Holy Spirit has given us special permission. From our Bai family, we can send out another young girl of suitable age from the side lineage to enter the palace as a backup."
Bai Jingxuan paused, then changed the subject, and then threw another heavy blow.
Alternative? In other words, in addition to Bai Yanqing, the direct daughter, the Bai family can also select a young girl of the right age from the collateral family to join Bai Yanqing in the palace to participate in the election.
The so-called alternative, in fact, means that the prince is not destined to be the main concubine, but if she has outstanding talent, talent and appearance, she can be the prince's concubine.
A side room is a concubine's room, but even if it is a concubine's room, for those women from the side line, it also has the hope of getting ahead, so in their eyes, this is already a great opportunity!
Hey, this is interesting!
"What uncle said...but...is it true?"
Looking at Lai Feiyan, whose expression was so excited that even her voice trembled when she spoke, Bai Yanqing had a thought in her heart.
Want to enter the palace and stand for election?
Haha, you may not be beautiful, but your thoughts are quite beautiful! However, I am willing to fulfill your little idea, but the choice depends on how you act!
