Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1031

Chapter 1031: Chapter 1026: Generous

Actually, Quan Yu understood that Bai Qingyan sitting in this position was more suitable than the Crown Prince.

He firmly believed that one day he would witness the unification of Zhou, that Bai Qingyan would turn Zhou into a peaceful and prosperous realm. He was certain that this day would come in his lifetime.

After Quan Yu left, Bai Qingyan instructed Wei Zhong, "Send a few people to Quan Yu’s hometown to buy him a small courtyard, and hire some servants and maids to take care of him..."

Thinking for a moment, Bai Qingyan added, "Also, purchase some land and shops for him so that Quan Yu will be without worries during the rest of his life."

"Your Majesty is benevolent!" Wei Zhong nodded, "As an old servant, I will make sure it is done!"

That night, before Bai Qingyan went to bed, Lu Ping returned to report, "One of them escaped, according to Sun Wenyao. That person is their secret guard leader. To avoid alarming the citizens, we have ordered the Patrol Camp to conduct a covert search, but I reckon they might be near the Qin Mansion."

"Hmm..." Bai Qingyan nodded, "No need to pursue the one who escaped. The secret guards of the Jin Dynasty are fiercely loyal to their masters. After the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty died, the guard is without a master and will naturally seek revenge for their master. We can capture them during the kite tournament on Little Fourth’s birthday!"

"Furthermore... spread the word that I and the ladies of the Bai family will attend the kite tournament on that day," Bai Qingyan said.

Lu Ping nodded, "Understood, but... it’s better not for you to go on the day of the kite tournament! You are currently pregnant and must not be careless."

"Let’s see on the day, release the message first!"

"Yes!" Lu Ping responded and left.

On October 17th, the birthday of Commandery Princess Gaoyi, the Imperial Family was organizing a kite tournament on the outskirts of Dadu City to entertain people. Most participants were employees of official families, but citizens could also join in the fun, unlike in the past when they were kept outside the venue.

Furthermore, in the name of Commandery Princess Gaoyi, widows who remarried were invited from within Dadu City to participate in the tournament. The winner would receive a hundred gold coins and a prize bestowed by His Majesty.

Most remarried widows were not wealthy, so naturally, they were eager to try, and some had started practicing kite flying early in anticipation of winning on October 17th.

Merchants were the first to be tempted, some of them went early to scout for locations, planning to secure a good spot.

Those with sinister intentions naturally began their preparations as well. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Currently, within Dadu City, the news of a new law encouraging widows among the commoners to remarry, but prohibiting the widows of noble families from doing so, was spreading more and more. Some people were even discussing in taverns why, given the benefits, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Bai family ladies were seen remarrying.

Liu Rushi had been entrusted by Dong Changyuan and Li Mingrui to judge the kite tournament on that day. If anyone started trouble, she was asked to assist so that no mistakes occurred during the promotion of the new policy. Hearing the rumors in Dadu City, Liu Rushi was naturally furious and went to complain to Lu Jin.
