Ci Jinzhi

At that time, there was only one queen in the huge harem, so the emperor finally nodded and agreed to place some concubines in Yiyuan. The noble ladies carefully selected and sent by the thoughtful mansions were all good. The title of Li concubine can have the word "Li", and her appearance is also outstanding in the harem. Princess Xuan has the appearance of her biological mother, and she is as young as a young woman. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is stunningly beautiful.

Emperor Xingyuan rarely felt as proud as a father at this moment. He asked about Princess Xuan's current situation in a friendly manner. After asking, he smiled and said: "You don't have to be bored in the palace all the time. If you want to go out for fun, just tell your mother and concubine. Remember to bring more guards."

 In his opinion, all teenage children yearn for freedom, and it is really boring to stay in the palace all day.

Princess Xuan’s thick eyelashes fluttered and she said softly, “Thank you, Father.”

 “Go and play, I’ll talk to your mother and concubine.”

"Xuan'er, please leave." Princess Xuan bowed her knees to Emperor Xing Yuan and bowed down.

Emperor Xingyuan took a sip from the tea cup and looked at Li Bin: "You have raised Xuan'er well."

  He is timid and a little weak in temperament, but it is not a big problem.

“It’s because Xuan’er has always been well-behaved and sensible, not because of my concubine.” Li Bin said this, and she clenched her hands into fists so nervously.

By this time she had already guessed that the emperor was probably considering Xuan'er's marriage. She had no ability to plan a good marriage for her daughter, and all she counted on was the man in front of her.

 It is related to her daughter’s happiness for the rest of her life, so she cannot help but be nervous.

“Speaking of which, Xuan’er has reached the age of discussing marriage. What are your thoughts on becoming a mother-in-law?”

Libi's heart trembled, and she lowered her eyebrows and said, "I can trust His Majesty's vision."

Emperor Xingyuan laughed loudly: "In that case, I will pay attention to it."

 Telling this to Libi is to prepare Libi and the eldest daughter, and there is no need to say more. It was still too early to mention this matter to He Qingxiao. Now that Li Bin knew who he had in mind, it would be nothing but trouble if something unexpected happened.

Having said what should be said, Emperor Xingyuan stood up and left.

Li Bin sent Emperor Xingyuan to the palace gate, and did not turn back until he could no longer see his back. This was naturally not because she had fantasies or affection for Emperor Xingyuan, but because she was afraid that people would think she was not respectful enough to the emperor.

Li Bin walked a few steps inside and saw Princess Xuan waiting there, her eyes full of worry.

Libi quickly walked a few steps and held her daughter's hand.

 The girl’s hands were slender and white, and her palms were wet with sweat.

 “Mother concubine——”

 “Go in and talk.”

 The mother and daughter entered the house, screened away the palace guests, and began to talk.

"According to your father's wishes, he wants to choose a consort for you." There was no one else around, Li Bi couldn't bear her daughter's anxiety and suspicion, so she said it directly.

 Princess Xuan's mind was settled.

 Although she had some guesses about her father's intention, guesses were still guesses. It's not that she hates getting married, and she felt relieved when she heard that her father was going to choose a consort for her, but she was worried that his coming would be something bad.

 Marrying—She didn’t know who she would marry, whether it was good or bad, but she always knew that sooner or later she would leave her mother-in-law and get married.

"Did your father say who he chose?" Princess Xuan asked with her head half lowered and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"I didn't say it, but my mother-in-law thinks that your father should have someone in mind." Concubine Li patted her daughter's hand, "Xuan'er, don't worry too much. You are your father's eldest daughter and the eldest princess of Daxia. The prince-in-law that your father has chosen for you will definitely be good."

Li Bin tried hard to comfort her daughter, but she was also trying to comfort herself.

Heaven bless Xuan'er, let her meet her beloved, and the harp and harp sing harmoniously.

Xin You returned to Bieyuan and went to the funeral of Queen Xin. She saw a man in military uniform kneeling there, being helped up by a tall girl.

"Miss Bai?" Xin You recognized the tall girl at a glance. It was Bai Ying who had been together for many days and then separated after going to Beijing. Bai Ying supported her mother and turned around. When she saw Xin You, she couldn't help but look surprised: "Mr. Xin."

General Bai was still immersed in the sadness of remembering Queen Xin. When he heard that it was Mr. Xin, he immediately looked over.

The young man who walked in was dressed in plain robes and was as tall and handsome as a cedar tree.

General Bai subconsciously looked for traces of Queen Xin on the young man's face, but found none.

 She was inevitably a little disappointed.

Mr. Xin calls himself the Queen’s adopted son, but many people don’t think so, and General Bai is no exception.

 “Mr. Xin, this is my mother.”

Xinyou raised his hand and said, "General Bai."

General Bai's eyes were slightly red: "I have long wanted to see Mr. Xin, and I finally met him today."

 “It’s the junior’s fault, I should have visited you earlier.”

Xin You exchanged pleasantries and asked General Bai to sit in the living room.

General Bai did not refuse. He drank two cups of tea in the hall and asked Queen Xin many things about her affairs outside the palace. Only then did her empty heart gain some comfort.

Once upon a time, the empress was the reassurance for female generals and strategists like them. When they charge into battle, make plans, and occasionally experience doubts from others and internal wavering because of their daughter, they will think: Don't be afraid, the Queen is here.

Later, the world was settled, but the queen was gone, and the woman who had shined in the troubled times gradually lost her voice. Until now, she would be ridiculed in person whenever she appeared in court.

General Bai suppressed the sadness in his heart, looked at Xin You and thought: It would be great if the Queen was still here.

“I have heard about the good deeds Mr. Xin has done in the south, and I really admire him. If there is any need in the future, Mr. Xin can contact my daughter at any time. The Bai family is willing to serve as his vanguard.”

General Bai’s words stunned Xinyou.

Of course she knew the weight of these words, and it was precisely because she knew that she felt surprised.

You should know that this is the first official meeting between her and General Bai.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 by "

General Bai smiled and said, "Young Master may think this is abrupt, but I still want to let you know the position of the Bai family."

If Mr. Xin has no intention of fighting, she will be a reclusive woman named Bailu. If Mr. Xin wants this Daxia, she is General Bai who can charge for him.

 In doing so, on the one hand, what Mr. Xin did during his trip to the south let her know that the child had not failed the Queen’s training, but more importantly, it was because of the Queen.

　　　The world only says that a gentleman dies for one who knows oneself, and a woman looks good for one who pleases oneself. Go to **** with women who want to please themselves, why can’t women be the former?

Even if other women can’t, she, Egret, can do it too!

Xin You could feel General Bai's sincerity and thanked him heartily.

Not long after sending General Bai and his daughter away, Aunt Gui came.

Aunt Gui was wearing a plain white t-shirt and carrying a basket on her arm. She came here alone in a carriage without anyone accompanying her.

"Are you Mr. Xin?" Aunt Gui stared at the young man coming over with eager eyes.

"I am."

Aunt Gui hurriedly introduced herself: "The little woman is from the Changle Marquis Mansion. She was once a maid beside the Queen. Today she comes to pay homage to the Queen and her sisters."

Xinyou accompanied Aunt Gui inside, and saw Aunt Gui kneeling before the spirit and taking out offerings one by one from the bamboo basket.
