In just half a day, Bai Yanqing went from being a hot cake that everyone was flocking to, to being a sick person that no one cares about and whose life and death are unknown. These changes happened so fast that no one had time to react.
When the emperor's imperial decree reached the Bai family, everyone in the Bai family was filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. Fortunately, Bai Yanqing finally found a home. What was worrying was that Bai Yanqing's life and death were still unknown.
The entire Bai family was worried about whether Bai Yanqing could wake up safely. But Aunt An seemed not to care at all, and there was no trace of worry on her face.
"Don't worry. This child, Yan Qing, is blessed with great fortune. She will be fine."
When the Ji family heard about Bai Yanqing's recent situation, they quickly sent Ji Nanjing to look for Aunt An.
I thought that Aunt An would be as worried as them, but unexpectedly, when Ji Nanjing saw Aunt An, she was caressing the flowers leisurely, with no worry at all on her face.
"But... the emperor gave Yan Qing to the eldest prince as his wife! How can the eldest prince's crazy look be worthy of my beautiful sister?!"
Ji Nanjing clenched his fists, looking indignant! What a flower stuck in cow dung! Damn! Angry! Hateful!
"Okay! The best choice is for Yan Qing to marry the eldest prince!"
Without even raising her head, Aunt An blocked Ji Nanjing's mouth with just one word!
What Aunt An said was indeed correct. Bai Yanqing marrying Yun Qi was indeed the best choice.
Yunqi is outside the whirlpool. His current situation is the safest among all the princes.
If Bai Yanqing marries Yun Qi, no one will covet the power of the Bai family and Ji family anymore! The emperor will not use Bai Yanqing as a threat to contain the Bai family and Ji family anymore!
Now, the emperor agrees to marry Bai Yanqing to Yun Qi, which means that in the eyes of the emperor, Bai Yanqing is already an abandoned son and has no useable value!
From this point of view, for Bai Yanqing, it is indeed excellent!
"When you go back, you must persuade your old man. Don't let him be reckless and go to the emperor to make trouble. At this juncture, don't let him cause trouble again."
Aunt An was well aware of the temperament of the Ji family, so she gave a few more uneasy instructions.
General Ji had a fiery temper, especially when he met Bai Yanqing! When he heard that Bai Yanqing was now in the palace and her life or death was unknown, he became so angry that he almost led his men to storm the palace.
Come on! It was Ji Jinxiu who forced him to stay in the house despite all the talk!
"This matter... has been spread outside the palace for a long time, and the old man is the first to know about it! Now, I have to keep my father at home. Otherwise, do you think I can leave the palace so smoothly to find you?"
Ji Nanjing's face was full of sorrow. The old man at home... was really difficult to deal with!
"Tell him to calm down and say it was me who said it. Yan Qing is fine."
Aunt An's words seemed to be a reassurance for Ji Nanjing. Only then did he feel relieved, turned around three times, and walked back reluctantly.
People who don't know about it would think that Ji Nanjing is so reluctant to let go of that woman! In fact, he has a lot of things to ask Aunt An, but he dares to ask too many questions! That's how artificial it is!
As for the Bai family, after receiving the imperial edict, Bai Jingxuan was completely in a state of confusion. He had just received the news that something happened to his daughter in the palace, and the imperial edict came down, saying that Bai Yanqing would be given to the eldest prince.
As a wife!
Bai Jingxuan was caught off guard by this sudden imperial edict! It was clearly Bai Yanqing who was proposed to marry by the third prince before, but why is it now the eldest prince?
What kind of fool is the eldest prince? Everyone in the entire Chen Kingdom knows who doesn't know who? Marrying the eldest prince... Bai Jingxuan is really afraid of wronging his daughter!
Just when Bai Jingxuan was at a loss what to do, Aunt An excused herself to bring him tea and casually walked into Bai Jingxuan's study. This was the first time Aunt An met Bai Jingxuan alone in private since Bai Yanqing left home!
Aunt An put down the tea cup and stayed there for a long time. Bai Jingxuan didn't seem to notice her. That's right, a person who is restless can't be distracted to pay attention to others.
I don't know how long it took for Bai Jingxuan to realize that someone had entered the study. When he looked up and saw Aunt An, he was stunned, because usually, the servant next to him would come to deliver tea.
"Why are you here to deliver tea today?"
A hint of displeasure flashed across Bai Jingxuan's face.
"Master Prime Minister, please don't worry. I came here to tell you that Yan Qing is fine. She is in the palace and nothing serious will happen to her. And... marrying the eldest prince is her best choice! Yu Bai's family
It’s also the best for the Ji family!”
The same words were used to appease Bai Jingxuan.
"Does Aunt An have any children?"
Bai Jingxuan did not respond to Aunt An's words. Instead, he asked her a question.
Hearing this, Aunt An was obviously taken aback. She didn't expect that Bai Jingxuan would ask her this.
"If you have children, you will know that as parents, what you want more is for your children to be happy, rather than for them to sacrifice themselves for the interests of the family. The Bai family has me, and there is no need for her to set up for the Bai family.
For the rest of her life! I am just a daughter. I hope that her future will not be too bumpy, and that the person she marries will definitely be the person she likes!"
Bai Jingxuan's words moved everyone who heard them.
Aunt An was silent. She thought she was here to persuade Bai Jingxuan, but who knew that she was blocked by Bai Jingxuan's words and couldn't say a word.
"You go down!"
Bai Jingxuan turned his back and waved to Aunt An, signaling her to go out.
Aunt An looked at Bai Jingxuan's back and sighed silently in her heart.
Over there, Bai Furong, her daughter, and Bai Shiheng's family knew that they could not help Bai Yanqing in any way, so they could only silently kowtow in the ancestral hall and chant sutras, hoping that their ancestors would bless Bai Yanqing and be safe.
How many people inside and outside the palace were hoping that Bai Yanqing would wake up as soon as possible!
…
Because Bai Yanqing is still in a coma, the emperor's banquet can only be rescheduled.
Although the daughters of the well-prepared family had some complaints, no one dared to reveal them in front of others.
After all, Bai Yanqing's current status is different from what it used to be. She is currently the only princess who has been granted a marriage by imperial decree.
Although the eldest prince may be a bit foolish, he is, after all, the first son of the same emperor and a serious eldest son. No matter how bad he is, his status and status are there and he cannot allow others to mess with him.
"First Prince, you have guarded my young lady for one day and one night. Go and have a rest!"
Cai Xing looked at the dark blue eyes under Yun Qi's eyes and couldn't bear it, so she kindly reminded him.
But Yunqi's temper was very stubborn. No matter how Cai Xing tried to persuade him, he refused to leave Bai Yanqing's bedside.
This was also the only time that Yunqi stayed in the palace since he proclaimed himself a palace, and never returned to the prince's palace to sleep.
"You go out! I want to be alone with her for a while."
Yun Qi suddenly spoke and kicked Cai Xing out.
Caixing looked at Bai Yanqing lying on the bed. Although she was extremely reluctant, she still resigned respectfully. She knew very well that after the emperor spoke and issued the imperial edict, her young lady was no longer her.
The young lady. From now on...she will be the eldest princess!
After Cai Xing retired, only Yun Qi and Bai Yanqing were left in the huge dormitory.
Yunqi looked at the person lying on the bed and couldn't help but step forward, hugging her upper body and holding her close to his chest. He tried to use his own body temperature to warm her.
Touching Bai Yanqing's still cold hands, Yun Qi directly stuffed her hands into his chest and covered them.
Bai Yanqing's cold hands touched Yun Qi's hot chest, causing Yun Qi to tremble.
I don't know how much time passed, but Yunqi almost started to doze off as he leaned against the bed. Suddenly, he noticed that the hands on his chest seemed to move slightly.
Yunqi was suddenly startled and felt no sleepiness at all!
"Yan Qing, Yan Qing..."
Yun Qi called softly in Bai Yanqing's ear several times.
Following Yunqi's call, the person in his arms slowly opened his eyes.
After Bai Yanqing opened her eyes, for a moment, she couldn't tell where she was. The magnificent bedroom was obviously not the Chuxiu Palace.
Perhaps she had slept for too long. When Bai Yanqing woke up, she felt a severe headache. She subconsciously stretched out her hands to rub her temples, but found that her hands could not break free! She lowered her head again and saw that her hands were...
Put it on someone's chest!
Bai Yanqing was shocked and wanted to refuse, but found that her whole body was sore and weak and she had no strength.
"Just wake up! Just wake up!"
A familiar voice came from above Bai Yanqing's head, and then she was hugged tightly into his arms!
"Ahem...you, let me go...I can't breathe!"
Bai Yanqing was almost suffocated by the force, which shows how strong Yun Qi is!
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll ask Cai Xing to bring you some food."
Yun Qi's concerned gaze made Bai Yanqing feel a little uncomfortable. She pushed Yun Qi gently and tried to pull her hand back, but unexpectedly, Yun Qi held her hand tightly and put it on her chest.
Refuse to let go!
Bai Yanqing had just woken up, she had no strength in her body and couldn't resist, so she stopped struggling.
"Where's Cai Xing?"
Bai Yanqing spoke softly, as if she had used a lot of effort to speak.
"I just asked her to rest, so I'm going to order someone to call her!"
So, Yun Qi shouted and asked people outside the palace to call Cai Xing over. However, Yun Qi himself refused to leave Bai Yanqing's side.
"Miss, you are finally awake! This slave is so anxious!"
When Cai Xing saw Bai Yanqing wake up, she was crying like a pear blossom with rain in her eyes.
Bai Yanqing leaned weakly on Yun Qi's chest and smiled at Cai Xing to express her comfort.
"Miss, are you hungry? I would like my servant to cook you some porridge."
Caixing wiped her tears and asked with concern.
Bai Yanqing nodded slightly in agreement.
Seeing this, Cai Xing hurriedly retreated and hurriedly ran to prepare food for Bai Yanqing.
Outside the bedroom, the palace servants who were kneeling on the floor breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Bai Yanqing was awake.
"Congratulations to the emperor, brother, and congratulations to the emperor's sister-in-law!"
When Yun Ji learned that Bai Yanqing was awake, he stepped happily and ran into the bedroom.
Imperial brother? Imperial sister-in-law?
Bai Yanqing obviously didn't understand who the imperial sister-in-law Yun Ji was talking about!
"Look at my stupid brain. I forgot when I was happy. The emperor's sister-in-law just woke up. She must not know about this happy event!"
Yun Ji slapped his head, hurriedly ran forward, and explained in detail the emperor's decree to marry Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi.
What? Marriage?
Bai Yanqing's head didn't react for a moment. She thought for a moment and finally made some sense of Yun Ji's words! According to Yun Ji, the emperor took advantage of her unconsciousness to marry her to the eldest prince Yun.
Qi!
But... why does Yun Ji look so happy? It was obvious that Yun Ji was not begging the emperor to marry him before, so why did Yun Ji look... happier than himself?
What kind of weird thing is this? Bai Yanqing is puzzled!
