Bai Yanqing had mentioned to the Ji family before that the third prince wanted to marry her, but at that moment, no one took it to heart.
After all, who knows what kind of behavior the third prince is like? He has always been a person who thinks things out as they come, has no long-term plans, and has unclear goals. Maybe he wanted to marry Bai Yanqing at that time, but a few days later, he wanted to marry a girl from a nearby family? Therefore, at that time, no one took this matter seriously!
Who knew that this time, the third prince would actually be serious! He really went to the emperor and asked to marry the daughter of the Bai family. Not only that, he also sent Bai Jingxuan back to the Prime Minister's Palace with great fanfare, which shocked the entire famous family in the capital! All these actions showed that the third prince was really serious this time!
The third prince made such a big fuss, how could he hide it from the Ji family? Or maybe, he had no intention of hiding it from anyone!
General Ji was the first to receive the news. He then hurriedly sent people to notify Ji Jinxiu and Ji Nanjing, father and son. Then the entire Ji family held an emergency meeting on whether Bai Yanqing should marry the third prince! In the end, they brainstormed and came to the final conclusion: everything depends on Bai Yanqing's will!
So Ji family, what does this mean? This means that as the strongest backing of Bai Yanqing, the Ji family supports any decision of Bai Yanqing. If she wants to get married, they will send her to the palace with the most noble standards for a daughter from a noble family! If she doesn't want to marry, then the Ji family will not hesitate to use the strength of the whole family to compete with the third prince and the imperial power!
Of course, they did not dare to say this in front of Bai Yanqing. They were also afraid that Bai Yanqing would become stubborn and would marry the third prince in order to protect the Ji family! That's why the Ji family sent Ji Nanjing, a former soldier, to come to the Bai Mansion to find out what Bai Yanqing said!
"Why are you like this again? Ever since you returned to Baifu, your health has not gotten better! Either you are sick today or you will be sick tomorrow. In my opinion, you might as well be in Zhuangzi Go to Xiaoyao! At least at that time, you were safe and healthy, and you wouldn’t have your grandfather and father worrying about you day and night like you are now!”
Ji Nanjing looked at Bai Yanqing's sick and frail appearance and became extremely angry!
A few years ago, Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing lived in Zhuangzi. Although life was difficult, with the help of Yuji's family secretly, she finally lived a more comfortable life. She was not like what she is now, suffering from a minor illness every three days. If you are seriously ill, call a doctor at every turn!
Originally tonight, Ji Nanjing planned to sneak into the Bai Mansion in the middle of the night, but he happened to encounter Aunt Zhao leaving the house to ask for a doctor. Then he came up with a plan and gave the old doctor some silver coins, pretending to be the medicine boy accompanying him. Entered the Bai Mansion together.
Seeing Bai Yanqing with closed eyes on the bed, Ji Nanjing's first reaction was heartache, and his second reaction was to worry about her, which is why he did something stupid like stretching out his finger to sniff her nose.
"The third prince is not responsible for the fact that the young lady is in this state of illness!"
Bai Yanqing vomited all night and was too weak to speak. Fortunately, Cai Xing knew the inside story, so he told Ji Nanjing Shi's account of what happened during the day.
Now that Bai Yanqing has achieved this, it is self-evident what she thinks.
"In this case, we know what Yan Qing is thinking, but...this matter involves the third prince, so we need to be more cautious. If there is any unexpected situation along the way, you need to notify the Ji family in time! We can do it too , prepare early!"
Cai Xing didn't hear anything from Ji Nanjing's ambiguous words, but Bai Yanqing on the bed did pick up something else.
"Whether I agree to marry the third prince or not, I only ask Brother Jing to promise me one thing."
Bai Yanqing forced herself to sit up and spoke weakly.
"you say!"
Seeing her like this, Ji Nanjing felt heartbroken and stepped forward to help her steady.
"Brother Jing, please help me comfort my grandfather and uncle, and don't let this matter involve the Ji family. The Ji family...has done enough for me! I don't want to implicate them anymore because of my affairs! Thank you for all these years. Yan Qing was able to grow up safely and healthily because of the compassion of her grandfather and uncle. Yan Qing was deeply moved by this. Yan Qing has her own plans for how to go in the future!"
Bai Yanqing is tight
Holding Ji Nanjing's arm, his eyes were full of begging.
Seeing her like this, Ji Nanjing did not dare to tell her his father and grandfather's plans clearly, so he could only nod his head solemnly, promising Bai Yanqing that he would not involve the Ji family!
However, what Bai Yanqing probably didn't know was that from the moment she was born, she was inseparable from the safety of the Ji family. Even if the Bai family has cut off contact with the Ji family now, half of the blood flowing from Bai Yanqing's body still belongs to the Ji family! This layer of blood cannot be cut!
The doctor also said that Bai Yanqing was not seriously ill, but she was just eating to hold herself up. In addition, her body was weaker than ordinary people, so she had such a big reaction. After taking a few decoctions to strengthen the spleen and eliminate food, there will be no serious problem.
Ji Nanjing felt relieved after hearing the doctor say that Bai Yanqing was fine. The words he was supposed to bring were also brought, and the people who were supposed to investigate were also seen, so Ji Nanjing could go back to work. Otherwise, the two old men in his family who are eagerly waiting for him to return home may not be able to sleep well.
"My lady has a weak spleen and stomach. She should pay attention to her diet and eat less cold food."
Before leaving, the doctor gave one more warning. After all, he had received so much money from Ji Nanjing, so he still had to show off. .
Caixing wrote down the doctor's words one by one, and then asked Nanny Zhao to follow the doctor overnight to grab the medicine, boil it when she came back, and let Bai Yanqing take it before she went to bed.
Fortunately, all the things that should be vomited were vomited, and Bai Yanqing had no other discomfort except stomach pain. After struggling for most of the day, Bai Yanqing felt a little tired. After taking the medicine, she lay down.
Because Cai Xing was worried about Bai Yanqing and feared that she would be in trouble again at night, he moved a soft bed and placed it in front of Bai Yanqing's bed. After watching her fall asleep, Cai Xing lay down peacefully.
At midnight, the entire White House fell into a deep sleep.
At that time, a figure quietly sneaked into Nianchu's small building through the meager moonlight.
Maybe she was really tired. Bai Yanqing slept extremely deeply tonight. She didn't notice anyone approaching her at all.
The visitor looked at Bai Yanqing on the bed and couldn't help but come forward, get closer, and raised his hand to stroke her frown. As if she had a bad dream, Bai Yanqing's body on the bed was shaking slightly, and her bare hands were tightly grasping the quilt on her chest, as if she was struggling with all her strength.
Seeing this, the visitor actually bent down, stretched out his hand, and patted Bai Yanqing gently as if coaxing a child. After a while, she miraculously became quiet, her clasped hands gradually loosened, her frown gradually smoothed out, and her slightly trembling body slowly calmed down.
Realizing that the little woman's condition on the bed seemed to have calmed down, the visitor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he took out a square envelope from his pocket, and then gently placed it on Bai Yanqing's pillow. Finally, he turned around with some hesitation and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he was still a little reluctant to leave. He turned back three times every step of the way. When he left the house and could no longer see the person on the bed, he cruelly jumped away.
It wasn't until there was no movement in the house that the little woman on the bed opened her eyes slightly and looked at the dark roof, seemingly thinking about something.
"Miss……"
Cai Xing, who was lying on the bed, noticed that the person on the bed seemed to sigh softly. After confirming that Bai Yanqing was awake, Cai Xing called her briefly.
"What time has it been?"
"It's the fourth watch, Miss."
Caixing got up from the couch, walked softly to Bai Yanqing's bed, and whispered beside her.
"Well, go to sleep! We'll talk about it after dawn!"
Bai Yanqing gently patted the back of Cai Xing's hand and asked her to go to sleep.
Caixing turned around, went back to the couch and lay down, and fell asleep soon after.
Bai Yanqing reached out and touched the envelope on her pillow, feeling confused. She had already guessed that the masked man would definitely come tonight. Therefore, she sent Aunt Zhao and the others to sleep early, and then told Cai Xing that no matter what happened at night, they must not act rashly, just pretend to be asleep. If not, Cai Xing would have jumped up and punched him when the man just came in!
In fact, Bai Yanqing was already awake from the moment the man entered the room. she
I have always been a light sleeper, and no matter how exhausted I am, I can't sleep soundly and peacefully without any worries.
How could a habit developed over so many years be changed just because he returned to the White House and lived a stable life for a few days?
The scent of incense on that man's body seemed to be heavier tonight.
Why……
Early next morning.
At dawn, the sound of Aunt Zhao and the others fetching water could be heard in the courtyard. Because she didn't sleep much at night, Bai Yanqing only felt that it was dawn as soon as she closed her eyes, and she still felt a little resentful in her heart!
Cai Xing always slept well. She was able to fall asleep when she lay down, but Bai Yanqing couldn't even hope for it! Therefore, when Cai Xing woke up, he felt refreshed and unaffected by the episode in the middle of the night!
"Miss, please sleep a little longer, it's still early!"
Caixing tidied up her clothes gently, squatted in front of Bai Yanqing's bed, and whispered to her. Seeing Bai Yanqing closing her eyes and nodding, Caixing turned around and left with peace of mind!
Then, Cai Xing carefully opened the door of the room, and after going out, he closed the door gently, for fear that there would be too much noise and Bai Yanqing would not be able to sleep well again.
When they walked into the yard, Cai Xing whispered to Aunt Zhao and the others to be quieter. Aunt Zhao and the others also knew Bai Yanqing's temperament. They never made any noise when sleeping. If she didn't sleep well, she would have a headache all day long.
"Lady didn't drink much of the Huaishan millet porridge yesterday. Let's change it to red dates and white fungus soup!"
While talking to Aunt Zhao and the others, Cai Xing rolled up her sleeves and prepared the ingredients herself.
When Bai Yanqing is sick, she becomes extremely picky. Therefore, whenever Bai Yanqing is sick, Cai Xing himself cooks for her every time.
The doctor said that Bai Yanqing had to nourish her stomach, but he didn't dare to give her any more cold food. Cai Xing thought about it, and cooked some stomach-nourishing porridge for Bai Yanqing in different ways every day. It would at least give her some appetite and she could eat a few more bites, and Cai Xing would be happy.
Tremella nourishes the stomach and promotes fluid production, which can cure stomach dryness and burns. This is the most appropriate thing for Bai Yanqing, who had just vomited and hurt her stomach yesterday. Red dates are warm and tonic, and have the effects of nourishing qi and blood, calming the mind, strengthening the spleen and stomach. It is also excellent for Bai Yanqing who suffers from poor sleep! The combination of these two makes a soup that nourishes the stomach and soothes the mind.
Afraid of not being able to pick good white fungus, Cai Xing asked Lian'er to go out early to buy fresh white fungus. Because of the fresh white fungus, the soup is softer and glutinous! Then add brown sugar and chopped red dates, simmer over low heat for an hour, and a sweet and delicious red date and white fungus soup is ready!
When the white fungus soup is warm, Bai Yanqing can't help but get up!
After all, it was Cai Xing who knew Bai Yanqing best. She calculated the time just right, so that as soon as her young lady got up, she would be able to drink warm soup!
