Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

Bai Zhiyuan stood up and stood respectfully aside.

Emperor Renxiao glanced at the ministers below with a profound gaze.

After a long while, he spoke again: "In this way, Rong An's merits and demerits will be offset. From now on, no one should mention Rong An's secret trip to the northern border."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered in her heart when she heard this. The emperor was worthy of being the emperor. With just a few words, he offset all her contributions in the northern border. She didn't care about it, but Xie Yunsong's hard work was wasted.

Bai Zhiyuan lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing.

Qi Zeyi, who was standing among the princes, had never taken his eyes off Bai Zhiyuan since she came in. After two years of not seeing her, Ayuan had become even more attractive. How could he have been attracted to Jiang Muyun and missed Ayuan? Even if he regretted it now, it was really difficult to continue their relationship.

unless……

A terrible thought flashed through the mind of King Qi Zeyi of Yan. He tried hard not to think about it, but the more he restrained himself, the more he wanted it.

Bai Zhiyuan also felt Qi Zeyi's gaze, but she did not respond, not even a glance at him.

After the court meeting was over, Bai Zhiyuan walked out alone.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, he was stopped by King Yan as expected.

Bai Zhiyuan stopped, glanced at Qi Zeyi, and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."

Qi Zeyi's eyes flashed with hurt, and he said, "When did you and I become so distant, Ayuan."

Bai Zhiyuan lowered his eyes: "Your Highness Prince Yan is joking."

Qi Zeyi choked and asked helplessly: "How has Ayuan been these past two years?"

Bai Zhiyuan really didn't want to play along with him, so he said, "Doesn't the King of Yan know whether I'm doing well or not?"

Qi Zeyi was stunned, as if he did not expect Bai Zhiyuan to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

While he was stunned, Bai Zhiyuan had already walked out.

Qi Zeyi came to his senses and stopped Bai Zhiyuan again.

Bai Zhiyuan raised his eyes, his eyes full of impatience, and said, "We are still in the palace now. Doesn't His Royal Highness Prince Yan need to avoid suspicion with me? Has His Royal Highness completely forgotten all the forbearance he has been holding back?"

After hearing this, Qi Zeyi's eyes gradually became filled with anger. He was always easily provoked by Bai Zhiyuan. This was indeed not the place to talk. He sighed lightly, softened his tone, and said, "Ayuan, no matter what, you and I are brothers and sisters. I heard that Master died in the North Territory, and I was deeply saddened. Master has left, and you and I should love each other even more..."

"That's enough!" Bai Zhiyuan interrupted him coldly: "How did Master die? Doesn't King Yan have any responsibility at all?"

Qi Zeyi was shocked that Ayuan knew everything.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't want to say anything more to him and just walked out.

Qi Ze saw this and wanted to stop Bai Zhiyuan again.

Unexpectedly, a voice sounded: "When did Fifth Brother lose his composure like this?"

Bai Zhiyuan turned around and saw that it was the Prince of Jin. She nodded slightly to the Prince of Jin.

Prince Jin slowly approached her and said, "I have also heard about the heroic deeds of Princess Rong'an in the northern border. She is indeed a heroine."

Qi Zeyi's eyes flashed with anger, and he asked, "When did the Seventh Master pay so much attention to the Princess of Rong'an County?"

The King of Jin waved his fan and said with a smile: "A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman!"

The anger in Qi Zeyi's eyes grew even more intense. Looking at Prince Jin and Bai Zhiyuan in front of him, he finally shook his sleeves and strode away.

After Qi Zeyi left, Bai Zhiyuan said, "Your Highness Prince Jin, why would you offend Your Highness Prince Yan just to save me? Prince Yan will probably take revenge on you, and this is not worth it."

Prince Jin chuckled and said, "The Princess of Rong'an is still the same as she was two years ago."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "I have heard about your relationship with Yunsong. This is not the place to talk. If you have any problems in Shangjing, you can always come to me."

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned. Before he could say anything, he saw King Jin also striding away.

She withdrew her thoughts. What happened today might soon be seen by those who have ulterior motives. She was entangled with both the King of Yan and the King of Jin. Her marriage might soon be used as an excuse to make a fuss.

When Bai Zhiyuan was about to reach the palace gate, she was stopped by a woman who looked like a nanny who came hurriedly and said, "County Lady, the Queen Mother wants to see you."

Bai Zhiyuan thought to himself, "Sure enough, he's here."

Bai Zhiyuan said to the maid, "Please allow me to tell my maids that they are still waiting for me at the palace gate."

The nanny said expressionlessly, "The Queen Mother has invited you, so I'm afraid you can't delay. I will send someone to tell your servants, so don't worry."

Seeing this, Bai Zhiyuan had no choice but to give up and followed the nanny all the way to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

Bai Zhiyuan stepped into the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Not knowing whether it was intentional or coincidence, he unexpectedly ran into Concubine Rou paying her respects in the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Concubine Rou was always good at observing people's expressions and she made the Empress Dowager very happy.

Even Bai Zhiyuan didn't notice when she entered the house. But Bai Zhiyuan didn't think that the Queen Mother didn't notice her and was just trying to embarrass her.

Bai Zhiyuan sneered in his heart, the royal family's methods were just these.

She didn't say anything, but just stood there silently, without any embarrassment or impatience on her face.

The Queen Mother today has not changed much compared to two years ago. She wears a dark red jacquard long gown with a cross-neck pattern. Her silver hair is neatly tied into a bun with a golden hairpin. Her well-maintained face is filled with a kind smile. People who don't know her will definitely think that the Queen Mother is a gentle and kind old woman. But what is the truth? The heart hidden under the appearance is as dirty as this deep palace.

When the Empress Dowager and Concubine Rou felt that they could no longer continue their play, Concubine Rou exclaimed, "Isn't this the Princess of Rong'an? Look at me. I was so busy talking to the Empress Dowager that I didn't even notice when the Princess came."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled but did not respond. He took a step forward and bowed to the Queen Mother and Concubine Rou: "Rong'an greets the Queen Mother and Concubine Rou."

The Queen Mother was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face. She dropped the teacup on the eight-treasure table with a sound that was neither light nor heavy.

The Queen Mother did not look at her, nor did she ask her to stand up.

Bai Zhiyuan maintained his saluting posture, without moving, and there was nothing wrong with his etiquette.

After a long while, Concubine Rou said in a perfunctory manner: "Empress Dowager, I remember that I have some important matters to deal with in the palace, so I will not disturb you. I will take my leave first!"

The Queen Mother nodded, and then Concubine Rou, supported by her maid, slowly bowed to the Queen Mother and walked out.

When passing by Bai Zhiyuan, he nodded at him.

I don't know if it's Bai Zhiyuan's illusion, why does she feel that Concubine Rou's attitude towards her has changed a lot this time. She naturally looked down on her in the past. Her mother-in-law in her previous life was always cold and stern to her. Why is she trying to be nice to her today?

Bai Zhiyuan was a little confused. Before he had time to think about it, he heard the Queen Mother's majestic voice above his head: "Get up!"

Bai Zhiyuan collected his thoughts and slowly stood up.
