Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 947

Chapter 947: Chapter 943: Following the Leader

Xiao Rongyan is also a rare handsome man, one who possesses both a masculine aura and a refined, elegant demeanor. How could Li Zhijie not have fond feelings toward Xiao Rongyan?

Xiao Rongyan smiled slightly, "Rongyan has no accomplishments for the country, how dare he seek a title."

"If Mr. Xiao can marry the Empress of Zhou to stabilize the alliance between Yan Kingdom and Zhou, wouldn’t that be a great service to Yan Kingdom?" Li Zhijie imagined Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan standing side by side, and thought it should be a very pleasing sight, then turned to ask the Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom with a smile, "What do you think, my lord?"

Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua went ahead to welcome Mrs. Dong and the ladies of the Bai family, along with Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, eager to share the news of Bai Qingqi and Bai Qingyun’s return with the family.

Chun Tao, Chun Zhi, Zhenming, Zhenguang, Nanny Tong, along with a group of palace maids and eunuchs were attending to Bai Qingyan as she changed into her ceremonial clothes for the banquet, accompanied by Bai Jinxiu on the way toward Xuanming Palace.

Bai Jinxiu walked beside Bai Qingyan at the front, speaking in a low voice, "Eldest Young Lady, regarding sending Ah Jue to Hancheng to retrieve Fourth Brother and take charge of the new administration, I believe... it should be me who goes instead. First, Ah Jue just returned and should spend more time with Fourth Aunt. Secondly, since you want to appoint women as officials, sending me now would further demonstrate our determination to the public."

Initially, Bai Qingyan had intended Bai Jinxiu for this task, considering Brother Wang’s young age. However, after Bai Qingjue returned, she decided to dispatch Bai Qingjue.

"If you go to Hancheng, what about Brother Wang? What will Qin Lang do?" Bai Qingyan walked slowly with Bai Jinxiu, "Even if Qin Lang accompanies you to Hancheng, can Brother Wang endure the long journey?"

"We’ll depart tomorrow, just travel slowly along the way. Brother Wang may be young, but he shouldn’t be overly pampered. I hope when he grows up, he can serve Zhou well." Bai Jinxiu had already thought it through, "Now that you have ascended the throne, it is not suitable for you to go on personal expeditions. When we send troops to Xiliang, it’ll be more appropriate for Ah Jue to lead the army rather than me. First, Ah Jue has already faced Xiliang soldiers and secondly... Ah Jue has been dormant in the southern borders for years and knows the terrain there better, so let me go to Hancheng!"

Bai Qingyan paused her steps, and the eunuchs and maids following behind quickly stopped as well.

She looked into Bai Jinxiu’s clear eyes, understanding some things among the Bai siblings need not be spoken, but are known clearly.

Bai Qingyan once had a three-year agreement with Yun Poxing, a commitment she never forgot.

Vengeance for Xiao Seventeen, Bai Jinxiu also never forgot.

While battles on the battlefield may be left to fate, the humiliation endured through Yun Poxing’s actions against Bai family members cannot be left unavenged!

Back then, even though Yun Poxing was surrounded, she had to endure humiliation and let him escape to protect herself. Now that the Bai family had overturned their fate, it’s time to seek revenge against Yun Poxing.

Bai Qingyan gripped Bai Jinxiu’s hand tightly, "Let’s go..."

"Eldest Young Lady..." Bai Jinzhao ran towards Bai Qingyan from afar, panting and saluting afterward, "Eldest Young Lady, Sister Qingzhu and Shen Tianzhi have returned. Sister Qingzhu is holding the family members of Vassal Kings of Guangan and Baishui, while Master Shen has apprehended the Crown Prince of Hedong intending to rebel and generals from Hedong and Anxi. They are waiting outside the palace gate for your summons."
