Bai Yanqing's biological mother, Ji Jinchu, was educated in the etiquette knowledge of a lady since childhood. Although she was born into a family of military generals, she did not have the roughness of a military general's daughter. On the contrary, his temperament is gentle and gentle, his mind is delicate, and he is considerate in everything he does. He does not fight or snatch, but he will not 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 career to Bai Yanqing's daily residence was arranged for her. And now the courtyard named Nianchu Xiaozhu was chosen by Jinchu himself at that time! Back then, Ji Jinchu himself lived in this courtyard for a while!
The small courtyard that Ji Jin first chose was not very spacious in the huge Bai Mansion, but it was located in a quiet place, not far from Bai Jingxuan's residence. So that he can come to visit his daughter from time to time when he is free. Ji Jinchu secretly thought that he could give his daughter a brief, pure and happy time when she was young.
It's just that Ji Jinchu, despite all his calculations, probably didn't expect that Bai Yanqing would be ruthlessly abandoned by Ren to Zhuangzi!
Bai Yanqing's temperament somewhat followed Ji Jinchu's, and she liked peace and quiet. Therefore, in the early years, there were not many people in the courtyard, only two rough messengers and one or two girls serving tea and water.
Times have changed, and today's Baifu is not what it used to be, and I don't know if today's Nianchu Xiaozhu is still what it used to be.
At that time, when Bai Yanqing and Caixing returned hand in hand, the courtyard was already brightly lit.
The girls and women in the courtyard had cleaned the entire courtyard before, took care of the lamps early, hung up the red lanterns, and were waiting for the return of their owners.
"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, there were several hurried footsteps in the courtyard.
"Miss! It's Miss! It's Miss! It's Miss!"
Following a few calls, several women and girls 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. How many people know me and are loyal enough to pay me such a great 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 held Bai Yanqing's hand excitedly, refusing to let go.
"This...is Granny 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 said our young lady has a good heart and will never forget our two 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.
"Grandma, how could you... return to the Bai Mansion again?"
The two nuns in front of me were once Ji Jinchu's dowries. When Bai Yanqing was young, she and the others took care of her.
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 definitely not buy Ji Jinchu's old man back to the Bai family! And given Ren's disgust for Bai Yanqing, how could he do what Bai Yanqing wants?
"It's Master!"
Aunt Zhao answered politely, solving 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 on his face that was imperceptible.
Old love? If her good father really cherished his old friendship, he would not have left the only bloodline left by her mother to Zhuangzi and ignored it for many years. Nor would he. When he thought that her daughter could be used, he hurriedly recalled her.
Is such a father worthy of talking about old friendships? After all, Bai Yanqing still has a grudge against Bai Jingxuan in her heart!
"Come and see the lady!"
After a few people exchanged brief greetings, they then remembered the little girl beside them, and Aunt Zhao quickly pulled the little girl over.
"Slave Lian'er, I have met the young lady."
That pretty little girl looked kind-hearted. He should have been in the mansion before, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to recognize 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 in the mansion. 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 more cautious.
Bai Yanqing was the legitimate daughter of the Bai family and a serious master. She didn't bother to figure out what those girls were 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 as she pleased. No matter how those monsters and monsters mess around, she, Bai Yanqing, will 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, washed herself briefly, and then, with Cai Xing's support, she went to Ren's courtyard to pay her 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, Mrs. Ren looked a little displeased and thought to herself: This little girl has just returned home, do you want to give her a demonstration?
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 Ren and said hello, and then sat aside obediently without saying a word. Lai Feiyan was left feeling lonely and asking for trouble!
It was very 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 wonder 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: Is she trying to make room for herself and let the Lai sisters take the lead?
Seeing this, Bai Yanqing remained silent, only raised her head slightly and stared at Ren with a half-smile. When Mrs. Ren saw that Bai Yanqing was not talking to her, she felt embarrassed, suppressed a smile, and then her face darkened a bit.
Haha, no opera singer can match her in changing her face at such a speed!
A room full of people, each with their own thoughts. After a brief drink of tea, a young man came from the front 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 His Majesty is going to select a talent show for the princes. This morning, His Majesty asked Yan Qing to enter the palace to participate in the selection."
Bai Jingxuan didn't deal with the crowd too much, and directly presented 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, I hope that the bargaining chip I hold in my hand is the most advantageous! Naturally, he hopes that the prince and concubine chosen by his son must be from a powerful enough mother clan! After all, only such a woman can be worthy of his ninety-five-year-old son!
And she relies on the family, what does she have? Some, I'm afraid it's just a close relationship with the Bai family.
"However... the Holy Father has given special permission. Our Bai family can send out another young girl of right 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 lineage 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, who looked so excited that even her voice trembled when she spoke, Bai Yanqing had a thought in her mind.
Want to enter the palace and stand for election?
Haha, you may not be beautiful in appearance, but you think quite beautifully! However, I am willing to fulfill your little idea, but the choice depends on what you do!
