Time flies and it is the tenth day of the fifth month. The general's mansion is very lively.

Xuanyuan Xi was given the title of Xuanhe. She was the only princess of the three generations of the Tianqi royal family and was highly respected.

In the past few days, Xuanyuan Xi was in poor health. She was either worshipping Buddha in the temple or recuperating in the mountains.

On her birthday, she simply ate longevity noodles with the people around her.

After the doctor's treatment, her illness has now been cured. Everyone in the mansion wants to hold a big birthday banquet to celebrate.

However, at noon, the house was already crowded.

Among them, there were many people who came for Qin Yuchuan. The housekeeper had been in the general's mansion for half his life and had a way to deal with these people. He entertained the guests warmly.

"Madam, please come this way, Miss!"

"Please come this way, Lord Censor!"

"..."

In the main hall, Xuanyuan Xi rarely wore a red dress.

She always felt that red was too bright and not suitable for her. This one was changed after Bai Wei persuaded her several times.

"Princess, you look so beautiful in this dress. It looks just like when you first married into the general's mansion."

Xuanyuan Xi: "When I married into the general's mansion, you were not even born yet. How do you know what I looked like then?"

Bai Wei scratched her head, a little embarrassed, "Didn't I hear this from Nanny Wang?"

"Speaking of Nanny Wang, I wonder how she is doing now?" Xuanyuan Xi seemed to remember something.

Bai Wei hurriedly said, "Nanny Wang sent a message a few days ago saying that she is now at home enjoying her grandchildren and is so happy."

"Today is a festive day, Princess, don't be sad."

Xuanyuan Xi: "You said Qingyi is coming, did she say when she will come?"

Bai Wei: "Miss Qingyi said she will come, so she will come. It's still early now. If she comes, I will send someone to notify you."

Xuanyuan Xi nodded, "Then let's do it!"

There were many carriages and horses parked at the gate of the general's mansion. Amid the celebrations of the crowd, Mingqi led a group of people to the gate.

The housekeeper greeted him immediately. This Lord Ming Qi is a favorite of His Majesty, so he must be treated well.

"Lord Ming Qi, welcome!"

Ming Qi: "I am here on His Majesty's orders to present a gift to Princess Xuanhe."

"Lord Ming Qi, please come in. The princess is in the main hall now."

Ming Qi and his party were welcomed into the main hall by the housekeeper. Xuanyuan Xi was chatting with several women.

"Princess Xuanhe has just recovered from a serious illness. You should all go out more in the future."

"General Qin is not young anymore. Is there any engagement? My daughter has just come of age and is here today. If the princess is satisfied, why not settle this matter?"

"Huan'er, why don't you come and see the princess."

Chen Huan'er came over reluctantly and saluted Xuanyuan Xi, "I meet Princess Xuanhe. May the princess be safe."

Xuanyuan Xi looked at the pink-dressed woman in front of him. She was still young and had not learned to hide her emotions. The displeasure in her eyes was obvious.

Her Ah Chuan is the best man in the world. How can she talk about marriage if this man despises her so much?

Not to mention that she has Qingyi now, even if she doesn't, she will not allow such a person to enter the general's mansion.

"Let's wait for Ah Chuan to come back to discuss this matter. The swords and knives on the battlefield are blind. If something unexpected happens, it will really be a pity for Miss Chen."

Mrs. Chen: "How could it be? General Qin is the god of war of Tianqi, invincible. He will definitely return victorious this time. It is her blessing for my daughter to marry General Qin."

"Mrs. Chen may not know that the general already has someone he likes. When the general returns, Mrs. Chen is welcome to attend the general's wedding." Bai Wei said on the side.

Mrs. Chen glanced at Bai Wei. She was just a maid. How could she interrupt them when they were talking?

But thinking that this person was someone around Xuanyuan Xi, she forcibly held back and began to inquire about the news.

"I wonder which daughter General Qin likes?"

Bai Wei replied, "Mu Qingyi, the daughter of former deputy general Mu Yuanshan."

Mrs. Chen frowned. Mu Yuanshan had been dead for many years. How could his daughter compare with her Huan'er?

"General Qin is from a military family. The mistresses in his family have always been from prominent families. I'm afraid General Mu's daughter is not worthy of this position. It's better to let her be a concubine."

Xuanyuan Xi frowned. She had a good plan. Unfortunately, she couldn't control the general's mansion.

"Men of the Qin family have always married only, not concubines. If Madam Chen wants to find a good marriage for your daughter, you should choose someone else! The daughter of the Chen family is beyond our reach."

"Bai Wei, I am a little tired, help me to the side hall to rest."

Madam Chen saw Xuanyuan Xi was about to leave, and hurriedly said: "I hope Princess Xuanhe will think about it carefully."

Bai Wei supported Xuanyuan Xi and said indignantly: "This Madam Chen just wants to climb up the social ladder, and she said it so high-soundingly."

"Then Miss Li, she looks reluctant, and those who don't know would think that our general's mansion wants to force her to marry!"

At this time, Ming Qi led everyone into the main hall.

"Princess Xuanhe, please stay. I am offering you a gift on the order of His Majesty. I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and longevity as great as the South Mountain."

The palace servants following Ming Qi carried boxes of rare treasures into the main hall.

There were some thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng and other precious medicinal materials, as well as several unique tributes, glass cups, and night-shining pearls.

The crowd watching was shocked. This gift symbolized favor. The general's mansion would surely prosper in the future.

Mrs. Chen looked at these precious gifts and became more determined to marry Chen Huan'er into the general's mansion.

Your Majesty is very fond of the General's Mansion now. If Huan'er marries into the General's Mansion, her life in the Chen Mansion will be easier in the future.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ming Qi said: "Your Majesty also ordered that if Princess Xuanhe needs help, she can go directly to the palace to see Your Majesty."

Xuanyuan Xi: "Your Majesty, please worry."

Ming Qi: "Princess Xuanhe, there is no need to be polite. General Qin is far away in the frontier. Your Majesty and the general are like brothers. You will take care of her. The princess deserves it."

Ming Qi looked around and finally looked at Bai Wei, "Today is Princess Xuanhe's birthday, why didn't you see Miss Qingyi?"

Bai Wei: "She should be on the way."

"So that's the case. The gift has been delivered. We will leave first."

Xuanyuan Xi whispered: "Why did Ming Qi suddenly ask about Qingyi?"

"Miss Qingyi and Your Majesty have known each other for a long time. Ming Qi follows Your Majesty and also knows Miss Qingyi. Today, he should just ask casually." Bai Wei replied.

Xuanyuan Xi: "Have we known each other for a long time?"

Bai Wei: "According to Miss Qingyi, she met your Majesty when she went out to dine with the general before, and the three of them had a good chat, so they got to know each other."

"Is that so? What time is it now?" Xuanyuan Xi asked.

Bai Wei: "It's already Ji time."

"Ji time, it's still early, let's go to the side hall to rest for a while."
