"Now that I have this token of Fengwu Tower, but my uncle refuses to accept it, then... if there is anything important in the future, let's meet at Fengwu Tower, how about it?"
Bai Yanqing's change of subject made General Ji's heart quickly return to its original position.
"That's fine! It's just that the location of Feng Wu Building is quite special. When I have free time in the future, I'll ask Nanjing to take you to check it out! As for Aunt An... you can rest assured that she won't It will bring trouble to the Bai family! She is in the Bai family, so she can help! In the future, when you get married, there must be someone who is really in charge of this huge Bai family! The emperor’s eyes on the Bai family are not as good as ours Young Master of the General’s Mansion!”
Ji Jinxiu looked at Bai Yanqing and said quietly.
Bai Yanqing already knew about the emperor's spying in the Bai family! She was just pretending not to know. She guessed that not only she knew these things, but her father also knew about them! Otherwise, why has he allowed some villains in the house to cause trouble for so many years and ignored them? Come to think of it, he just wanted some of them to check and balance each other!
"Why Aunt An?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Ji Jinxiu and suddenly asked extremely seriously.
Ji Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at Bai Yanqing and said quietly: "Because... it can only be her!"
It can only be her? Why can it only be Aunt An?
Ji Jinxiu's words lingered in Bai Yanqing's mind for a long, long time... Until she left the General's Mansion, she couldn't figure out why the person in charge of the Bai family could only be Aunt An!
At the back door of the General's Mansion, the carriage that sent Bai Yanqing here is still waiting there!
Bai Yanqing trotted all the way to the back door. When she saw that the carriage and the driver were still there, she lifted her feet without hesitation and jumped onto the carriage!
Just as Bai Yanqing got on the carriage and closed the carriage door, she suddenly spoke and said quietly to the carriage door: "I'm sorry for you!"
Outside the carriage, the coachman who was cracking his whip heard these words, raised the whip in his hand into the air, paused slightly, and then, with a brisk "drive", the carriage flew away and left. The back alley of the General's Mansion!
Not long after, the carriage stopped in a dark alley!
Bai Yanqing cautiously lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she quickly jumped out of the carriage, took off her cloak, and put on the same cloak she wore when she left the Bai Mansion!
At that time, the coachman also jumped out of the carriage and casually took the cloak handed over by Bai Yanqing!
"It's such a cold weather. If you're not worried, just arrange for someone else to come over. Why do you bother to make this trip yourself?"
Bai Yanqing changed her cloak, turned around and stared at the man wearing a hat and burlap clothes in front of her and said.
"How can I rest assured about others? If such an important matter is known by others, it will cause trouble and it will be difficult to end! Besides, if I don't go through this, how can General Ji believe that I am sincere? You won’t make things difficult for the Ji family?”
The man took off the heavy hat on his head, revealing his true appearance!
The person speaking in front of me was Yun Qi!
"Then you mean, do my grandfather and uncle know that you were the one who sent me to the General's Mansion today?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Yun Qi suspiciously and said in confusion.
"What do you think? Silly lady, you don't really think that General Ji is too old to be confused, do you?"
Yun Qi stretched out his hand, lightly tapped Bai Yanqing's forehead, and said funnyly.
General Ji is not confused, and Ji Jinxiu is even less confused! None of the men in the large family in the General's Mansion is confused!
Bai Yanqing raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face! Indeed, she should not underestimate her grandfather! How could a veteran general who has been on the battlefield for many years, and an official who has been in the officialdom for many years, be like that kind of confused person who is not familiar with the world?
Yun Qi and Bai Yanqing each put on another outfit and walked out of the dark alley!
"Your Highness, have you heard of Fengwu Tower?
? "
Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi were wandering aimlessly on the crowded street.
"Well, I've heard a little bit about it. I heard... that it's a gold-selling cave!"
Yun Qi paused slightly, perhaps because he didn't expect why Bai Yanqing would suddenly ask this. After all, Bai Yanqing doesn't seem to be the kind of person who likes extravagance!
"Does Your Highness know who the owner of Fengwu Tower is?"
Bai Yanqing deliberately ignored the doubts in Yun Qi's eyes and continued to ask.
"I don't know!"
Now that the words have come to this point, Yunqi can guess some other meaning! Apparently, this little lady like him should know something! I just don’t know why she suddenly mentioned Fengwu Tower!
When Bai Yanqing heard Yun Qi say he didn't know, he burst out laughing!
Just when Yun Qi was curious as to why Bai Yanqing laughed suddenly, Bai Yanqing spoke again!
"Now you know! The future owner of Fengwu Tower is me!"
Bai Yanqing was like a child begging for candy, raising her head and saying proudly to Yun Qi!
Hearing this, Yun Qi was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth raised, and his eyes couldn't hide the joy!
"Really? My wife is so powerful? From now on, I will have to rely on my wife to support me!"
Yun Qi suddenly leaned forward and leaned crookedly on Bai Yanqing's shoulder, looking completely coquettish!
"I can't afford to support you!"
Bai Yanqing gently pushed Yun Qi away and looked at Yun Qi from head to toe in a decent manner! Then, he rejected him unhurriedly!
"Then... let me adopt a wife!"
Yunqi looked aggrieved!
"That's okay! What I like best is that I can sit at home and count money every day! I don't have to work hard to earn money, how nice it is!"
Bai Yanqing looked at Yun Qi's appearance, suppressed her smile, and said solemnly.
"By the way, will your Highness come out with Mo Ran's monthly routine? The Bai family is an aristocratic family with a poor family background, and Your Highness is not unaware of it! My father is an upright official and has a lot of expenses in the mansion. Every year at the end of the year, the family's expenses are high. Life is so tight! Oh... how pitiful! How sad! How deplorable!"
After Bai Yanqing glanced at Yun Qi, she began to look at the sky and vomit her bitterness. Her posture made it seem as if her Bai family was even poorer than that poor family!
"Mo Ran's monthly plan comes from the eldest prince's house! There is no need to use any of my wife's natal family's resources!"
When Yun Qi saw this, how could he not understand what Bai Yanqing meant? He immediately raised his hands and surrendered to Bai Yanqing!
In fact, Mo Ran's monthly regulations were originally from the First Prince's Mansion! Yunqi never thought about asking the Bai Mansion to provide such a small amount of money! What's more, he sent people to Bai Yanqing to protect her and serve her out of his own free will. How could he let the Bai Mansion take on this monthly role?
"Not only Mo Ran, but Yuan Li's monthly schedule also comes from the eldest prince's house! There is no need for the lady to worry! My husband will make arrangements for these!"
Yunqi was afraid that Bai Yanqing would think of something else, so he immediately spoke again and took the initiative to bring up Yuanli!
"Okay, I'm just teasing His Highness! Your Highness is really honest!"
Bai Yanqing smiled jokingly, then strode forward with her head held high and her chest held high!
The combined monthly income of Mo Ran and Yuan Li is only a few dozen taels of silver, and the Bai Mansion can still afford it!
It's noon now, and the sun is warm outside. After wandering around for a while, I feel like I'm sweating a little! Bai Yanqing took out her handkerchief and gently wiped her forehead, but she was secretly thinking about when she would return home! But right now, Yun Qi is accompanying her, so it would be inappropriate for her to go back alone!
"Your Highness, aren't you busy today? Why do you have time to hang out with me?"
Bai Yanqing suddenly spoke and asked Yun Qi.
It stands to reason that Yun Qi, who has so many things to do all day long, how can he find time to hang out with Bai Yanqing?
Previously, their trip to the Star-Moon Kingdom had delayed Yunqi's official duties for several months. Now that they have returned to the capital, Yunqi should be even busier. How could he suddenly be so free again?
"If I don't take some time off, how can those who are following me safely return to the palace to report to my father?"
Yun Qi took Bai Yanqing's hand and shook it gently. Then, he motioned her with his eyes to look at both sides of the street.
Bai Yanqing frowned slightly when he heard this, and then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of two sneaky figures!
"Didn't Your Majesty remove all the secret guards from the First Prince's Mansion? Why...are you still sending people to follow His Highness?"
Bai Yanqing whispered in confusion.
"How do you know, Madam, that my father removed the secret guards from the First Prince's Mansion?"
Yunqi bent down and whispered beside Bai Yanqing's ear.
"Ahem...I...I guessed it!"
Bai Yanqing turned her head away in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain, so she just lied casually to Yun Qi. She also knew that Yunqi would definitely not believe it!
"Oh? Really? My wife is very capable of pinching and calculating. Why didn't I know?"
Yun Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at the slightly panicked girl in front of him, feeling that it was very funny. He doesn't mind that Bai Yanqing knows this, what he cares about is that someone is spying on him! He didn't like that someone was prying into the eldest prince's mansion without his knowledge!
"Well, actually, I guessed half of it!"
Bai Yanqing saw Yun Qi looking like he wanted to eat someone, so he had no choice but to admit it.
"I guess the Grand Eunuch has always been in contact with His Highness! Yesterday, when we left the palace, I saw the Grand Eunuch! He was hiding in the dark and made a gesture to His Highness! I saw it! So... I guessed without permission. A moment!"
Bai Yanqing pulled Yun Qi to a deserted place, looked around cautiously, and then carefully whispered to Yun Qi's ear. She was also afraid that others would hear this!
After hearing what Bai Yanqing said, Yun Qi's expression softened a bit! It turns out that he was worrying too much! But what Yunqi didn't expect was that Bai Yanqing was so smart!
Yunqi always thought that no one knew about his dealings with the Grand Eunuch! After all, not even Grandma Sun and Yun Ji knew about this! But, just this once, Bai Yanqing guessed it! While Yun Qi was secretly amazed, he also fell in love with Bai Yanqing even more! He got a wife who was so smart, so what could he complain about?
"Although my father has removed all the spies placed in the First Prince's Mansion! But he is not completely at ease with me! He arranged for people to follow me just to test me and see if I really have nothing to do all day long. !」
Yun Qi suddenly spoke and explained to Bai Yanqing. This is the first time Yun Qi has talked about these things with Bai Yanqing!
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing was stunned. It seemed that the emperor's suspicion had never diminished! This is true for the Bai family, this is true for the Ji family, and it is true for his own son!
"I really don't understand why the emperor treats your brothers like this. He can't live forever. Sooner or later, your brothers will still occupy that supreme position? Why are you so guarded against you now?"
Bai Yanqing really couldn't figure out why the emperor was so wary of his son.
"He has been looking for a way to live forever. Does he want to sit on this dragon chair to live forever? I'm not surprised, but..."
Yun Qi glanced at Bai Yanqing and paused for a moment. He was wondering whether he should tell Bai Yanqing something.
"Is there any way to live forever in this world? It's just a liar tricking fools!"
Bai Yanqing has always scorned the idea of immortality. She doesn't believe that there is really any way to live forever in this world!
