Noisy after noisy, noisy after noisy, unwilling to return, in the end, Bai Yanqing still couldn't escape the fate of entering the palace draft.
On the twentieth day of the eighth lunar month, early in the morning, the entire Bai Mansion rushed to the door of the mansion early, waiting to see Bai Yanqing out of the mansion.
The meager morning light illuminated Bai Yanqing's path. Different from everyone's anxiety, Bai Yanqing seemed much calmer. She took the star picker slowly and slowly, step by step, to the door of the house. In the expectation of everyone,
In the eyes of hope, he slowly appeared.
Looking up and looking at the carriage that had been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time, Bai Yanqing felt reluctant to leave home for the first time.
"Yan Qing, once I leave, I don't know when I will return...you should...take care of yourself!"
Bai Shiheng was a man after all, so he couldn't say anything nice, he just gave a reluctant warning. Although he only got along with this niece for a short time, he really liked this smart and capable niece from the bottom of his heart.
"good."
Bai Yanqing responded with a smile.
"Yan Qing, if you suffer any grievance in the future, be sure to ask someone to send you a message. My little aunt is not very capable, but I can at least comfort you... I will make you some delicious food and send it to the palace..."
Li Qinru raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes, with a look of reluctance on her face.
"good."
Bai Yanqing took Li Qinru's hand and was very reluctant to let go.
"Sister, Junzhi must practice more diligently in the future so that he can become famous in the future so that he can protect his sister!"
Bai Junzhi's childish face was filled with firm determination!
"Okay, sister is waiting for you."
Bai Yanqing patted Bai Junzhi on the shoulder, full of confidence in him.
"Sister...that's all, between you and me, let alone those parting words, how about I wish my sister a happy journey and a prince as soon as possible?"
Lai Bizhi seemed to have a brisk tone of voice, not as reluctant as them. But her slightly red eyes still gave her away.
"If you want to be rich and noble, don't forget each other. If I can bring a prince back with me, then I will definitely let my future husband find a high-ranking family to marry for my sister!"
Bai Yanqing pulled Lai Bizhi's sleeve and teased her.
"Bah, no one is serious!"
Lai Bizhi spat at her, but couldn't help but hug her tightly.
"Take care of yourself!"
These two words express Lai Bizhi's reluctance to leave.
"Yan Qing, my aunt doesn't have anything good. This dress was made by someone a few days ago. It's such a good brocade that you won't be outdone by other women in the palace."
Bai Furong ordered the maid behind her to present a set of clothes to Bai Yanqing. She knew very well that the people in the palace were all snobbish, and if the Bai family girls were dressed shabbily, they would definitely be bullied by them.
"Thank you, aunt. Then... Yan Qing accepted it shamelessly."
Bai Yanqing smiled and asked Cai Xing to accept it. It was hard to refuse now, lest Bai Furong would be sad.
"In the past... it was my aunt who felt sorry for you. When you enter the palace in the future, I will pray for you every day! I hope that everything goes well for me, Yan Qing."
Bai Furong had hot tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to let them fall, so she turned her head away and wiped them quietly.
"Okay, aunt, don't worry about it, it's all over."
Bai Yanqing took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of Bai Furong's eyes. There was no trace of resentment in her eyes.
After comforting Bai Furong, Bai Yanqing looked at Aunt An, who had been standing at the door without saying a word for a long time. She couldn't help but walk to her.
"Aunt An, I will have to rely on you more in the future for matters in this house!"
Bai Yanqing's words were sincere, unlike before when the two of them were at odds with each other.
"It should."
Aunt An nodded in agreement, as if these things were what she should do.
"Aunt, little aunt, I hope you will take more care of the family affairs in the future. If Aunt An doesn't understand something, I hope you can teach her more. If she bumps into us in the future, I hope you can
Don't argue with her."
Bai Yanqing turned around and said to Bai Furong and Li Qinru. She knew very well that according to Aunt An's temperament, it was really possible to offend people in the future.
Bai Furong and Li Qinru both nodded in agreement.
Finally, Bai Yanqing walked up to Bai Jingxuan, knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed to him.
"The daughter thanks her father for his years of upbringing."
Bai Yanqing's words made Bai Jingxuan feel guilty and distressed. Over the years, how had he fulfilled his nurturing kindness? Bai Yanqing had only returned home for half a year, and then he had to leave home again. After just a few months of getting along, he had just recovered a little bit.
It made up for some regrets. Now that Bai Yanqing was leaving home again, Bai Jingxuan felt mixed feelings and reluctance in his heart.
"He has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, so you are wasting your time."
Aunt An saw Bai Yanqing kneeling on her knees and stepped forward to help her up. While lifting her up, Aunt An muttered something in Bai Yanqing's ear.
Bai Yanqing was stunned. How did Aunt An know that her father had not fulfilled his responsibilities?
Oh, it must be her uncle and the others who told her, Bai Yanqing thought to herself.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Bai Yanqing got into the carriage.
After all, Bai Jingxuan was a little worried about her, so he followed closely on horseback.
…
The carriage moved slowly and steadily along the lively long street.
"Stop!"
When they reached a certain place, Bai Yanqing suddenly spoke and asked the driver to stop the carriage.
The driver was puzzled. Bai Jingxuan, who was following him on one side, raised his head and looked at the plaque of "General's Mansion" in front of him. He knew clearly what his daughter wanted to do.
Bai Yanqing jumped off the carriage, looked at the people standing in front of the General's Mansion, and smiled sincerely. She did not approach, but knelt down heavily in front of the General's Mansion, and kowtowed heavily to the people who had been waiting at the door for a long time.
He made a sound of his head. Then he turned around cruelly and jumped onto the carriage.
"Miss……"
Caixing looked at Bai Yanqing's red eyes and couldn't help but call her.
"Nothing."
Bai Yanqing wiped the corners of her eyes, lifted the curtains of the car, and couldn't help but look back secretly, looking again and again.
The General's Mansion is located closer to the imperial palace and is the only way to enter the palace. Bai Yanqing knew that her grandfather and uncle would be waiting at the door for her carriage to pass by.
"Grandpa has more white hair."
Bai Yanqing held Cai Xing's hand and was shaking slightly. Although she tried her best to hide it, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red again.
"Uncle, too. How could you let your grandfather blow in the cold wind so early in the morning?"
"And Brother Jing, he looks much calmer than usual today."
…
Bai Yanqing chatted with Cai Xing for a long time. Cai Xing knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, so he did not interrupt her and let her talk. Finally, seeing her tears falling uncontrollably, Cai Xing silently took out the handkerchief and
She wiped it.
Outside the carriage, Bai Jingxuan was accompanying him. It was not that he had not heard what Bai Yanqing said. He felt a little sad in his heart. His daughter was so close to the Ji family!
…
Outside the General's Mansion.
"Father, Yan Qing's carriage has run away."
Ji Jinxiu glanced at his old father's steady figure and couldn't help but remind him.
"Yan Qing... seems to have lost some weight. Did the Bai family treat her harshly? Look at her body, a strong wind can blow her down!"
General Ji looked at the carriage going further and further away, and couldn't help but murmured in distress.
"Well, I have lost some weight. The Bai family is known as a noble family, so they must not have the money to raise a daughter. If I had known this, we might as well have taken Yan Qing back to the house?"
Ji Jinxiu agreed and said, the Bai family is just poor!
"I'm so sorry for my good sister. I haven't seen her for a few days and she's so weak..."
Ji Nanjing wiped the corners of his eyes with his robe, feeling extremely distressed.
The words and deeds of the grandfather and grandson were all seen by the entourage on the side. He looked at Bai Yanqing's carriage and was confused: Is this...the eldest lady of the Bai family is thin? Is the Bai family very poor?
The three ancestors and grandsons of the Ji family supported each other and walked back to the mansion step by step.
"No, I must enter the palace tomorrow! Let's discuss it with the emperor and ask him not to be too harsh on Yan Qing!"
General Ji clenched his fists and vowed.
"Father will send some money to Yan Qing tomorrow and ask her not to treat me badly in the palace!"
Ji Jinxiu couldn't wait to take out all the banknotes on his body.
"Then I'll go to Qingfeng Building and ask someone to cook some of Sister Yan Qing's favorite foods and bring them with me!"
Ji Nanjing disappeared in a flash.
This family doesn’t take the emperor seriously at all!
Follow, die.
…
At the entrance of the palace, there were densely packed carriages, all of which were from major aristocratic families who came to see their daughters into the palace. Some aristocratic families, including young and old, had several carriages, all coming to see them off. Only Bai Yanqing, a deserted carriage, accompanied them,
There is only Bai Jingxuan as his father.
"Hey, Prime Minister Bai is also here to see off his daughter? So deserted? There aren't many people to accompany him?"
An adult appeared out of nowhere and shouted to Bai Jingxuan.
It was his mortal enemy, Captain Ji. Bai Jingxuan glanced at it and ignored it.
On this day, Bai Jingxuan didn't want to argue with him at the gate of the palace. He just wanted to send his daughter to the palace safely.
"Can Xiang Bai...can't afford to hire a carriage? Hahahahaha..."
The man's wanton smile alarmed Bai Yanqing in the carriage. But at this time, it was not time to get off the carriage and enter the palace, so it was inconvenient for Bai Yanqing to get off the carriage and show up in advance.
"My noble family, the Bai family, is naturally not as luxurious as Taiwei's house! After all... Taiwei Ji... has more silver notes in his hand than Bai eats rice!"
Bai Jingxuan said meaningfully, his voice was neither loud nor quiet, and everyone present heard it.
However, since the two people talking to each other had higher official positions than them, they did not dare to say anything. Only a few family members whispered quietly.
"you……"
Lieutenant Ji, because there were so many people around, did not dare to quarrel with Bai Jingxuan openly anymore. He just waved his sleeves and turned around and walked towards his carriage.
I saw Lieutenant Ji whispering a few words to the people in the carriage through the curtain of his carriage. Naturally, others could not hear what he said, but seeing the smug look on his face, Bai Jingxuan felt something was wrong.
.
"Yan Qing, after entering the palace, you should pay more attention to Ji Taiwei's daughter, Ji Nanyan."
Across the carriage, Bai Jingxuan and Bai Yanqing exchanged a few words of advice.
Bai Yanqing understood.
Ji Nanyan? Humph, it doesn’t matter what kind of chicken or duck she is, Bai Yanqing is not afraid of her!
"Didn't I hear that the third prince has been interested in Bai Xiang's daughter for a long time? Didn't he even go so far as to cause a scene in the royal study just to ask for the daughter of the Bai family? Why don't we see the third prince show up today to pick up the eldest daughter of the Bai family?"
Lieutenant Ji turned his hips and ran over again, mocking openly and secretly.
Bai Jingxuan was about to speak back, but unexpectedly, someone spoke before him.
"Lieutenant Ji, do you really want to see this prince?"
It's the third prince Yunji!
"Meet the Third Prince!"
When everyone saw that the person who came was really Yun Ji, they all knelt on the ground in fright! Some even secretly scolded Taiwei Ji in their hearts. He really didn't like to pick up any of the pots. These three princes are notorious for being a bastard! They offended them.
I couldn't afford it, and I didn't dare to provoke him. Normally I wouldn't have time to hide from him, but now? Taiwei Ji actually provoked him!
When the third prince arrived, the ladies from the aristocratic families who were originally in the carriage had to get out of the carriage and salute.
"My prince, I was just worried that the eldest daughter of the Bai family would get up early and not have time to eat in the future. I just went to the imperial kitchen to get some food for her. I arrived a few moments late. Is Taiwei Ji so impatient?"
Yun Ji looked at Taiwei Ji kneeling on the ground, his words showing dissatisfaction.
"I made a mistake, I hope the Third Prince will forgive me for talking too much!"
Although the third prince had no power, he was the emperor's favorite son. If he really embarrassed Taiwei Ji, the emperor would probably just turn a blind eye!
Thinking of this, Lieutenant Ji couldn't help but sweat dripping all over the floor.
