Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

After the palace banquet, Bai Zhiyuan walked out of the hall with his mother Princess Duanhui and his cousin Qi Shuyue.

Bai Zhiyuan glanced back and saw that there were many people surrounding Xie Yunsong, some were complimenting him and some were sincerely wishing him well.

Bai Zhiyuan turned around and continued to walk out, but was stopped by King Yan.

Princess Duanhui frowned and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Yan!"

Qi Shuyue, who was standing by, saw King Yan right in front of her, her face turned red, and she stared at him motionlessly.

Bai Zhiyuan frowned and looked at King Yan with vigilance.

Prince Yan approached her step by step, and finally stopped when he was one step away from her, and said in a cold voice: "Congratulations, Princess Rong'an!"

Bai Zhiyuan's lips curled slightly, and he said mockingly: "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yan."

Xie Yunsong also noticed the movements of the King of Yan and strode towards him. The King of Yan also saw Xie Yunsong, looked at Bai Zhiyuan deeply, and turned away.

Xie Yunsong stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Zhiyuan shook his head.

Xie Yunsong said to Princess Duanhui and Bai Zhiyuan: "I'll take you back!"

Bai Zhiyuan raised his eyes and looked at him: "Today is New Year's Eve, and your family must have prepared a New Year's Eve dinner. It's getting late now, you should go back first. My father and brother are waiting for us at the palace gate, don't worry, we are fine."

Princess Duanhui echoed, "Yes, don't worry, General Xie."

Xie Yunsong then nodded, and sent them to the palace gate. He watched Bai Zhiyuan get on the carriage before turning around and leaving.

"Crack-"

With a sharp bang, the fireworks rushed into the dark night sky, like a flash of lightning cutting through the darkness. The scattered points of light danced in the night sky, the colors were colorful and warm.

Suddenly, the surroundings became bright. Bai Zhiyuan lifted the curtain of the car and saw Xie Yunsong who had not yet left.

The two smiled at each other, feeling the moment of human hustle and bustle.

When Bai Zhiyuan returned home, the entire Bai Mansion was immersed in joy. The news that the Emperor had granted marriage to Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan had arrived, and everyone in the Bai Mansion was happy for Bai Zhiyuan.

At this moment, it was already late at night, and occasionally one or two sounds of fireworks could be heard in the distance. The entire Bai Mansion was brightly lit and filled with laughter.

The servants moved the table to the courtyard. Since they had already had dinner in the palace, the family sat around the table and had some hot tea and snacks.

King Jingyang was old and retired early.

Soon, it was late at night, the moon was as cool as water, and Bai Tingxuan and Princess Duanhui also went back to sleep.

Only the siblings Bai Zhiyuan and Bai Qiuze and the siblings Qi Wenjing and Qi Shuyue were left in the courtyard. Bai Qiuze and Qi Wenjing were of similar age and had endless things to talk about. They drank and chatted, and the atmosphere was high, and soon they both got a little drunk.

Bai Zhiyuan called the servants and sent the two back to their respective rooms.

After the two of them left, only Bai Zhiyuan and Qi Shuyue were left in the yard.

"Cousin, it's late, go back and rest early!"

Qi Shuyue had been a little absent-minded since she returned from the palace banquet. After much hesitation, she finally asked, "Cousin, is His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan married?"

Bai Zhiyuan frowned and said sternly, "Cousin, what I said to you at the palace banquet was not to scare you. Prince Yan is not a good person, and you'd better not have any ideas about him. Our Bai Mansion and Prince Yan's Mansion have always been incompatible, so you'd better not do anything out of line. What's more, my grandfather has been away from the capital all his life, so you must not have too close contact with the prince."

After hearing this, Qi Shuyue stood up abruptly, staring at Bai Zhiyuan with anger in her eyes, and said angrily: "Of course I know what my cousin said. I was just chatting with my cousin. Is it necessary for my cousin to be so harsh?"

After saying that, Qi Shuyue flicked his sleeves and strode towards his yard angrily.

Bai Zhiyuan was left with an innocent look. Bai Zhiyuan looked at her back as she walked away, wondering if her cousin had any improper thoughts about Qi Zeyi. However, he had just told her the pros and cons, so she probably wouldn't be able to get in touch with Qi Zeyi.

Bai Zhiyuan shook her head and stopped thinking about these messy things. It was a great joy that the emperor could grant her and Xie Yunsong a marriage today.

Bai Zhiyuan slowly returned to the room and lay down on the bed with her clothes on, but she was not sleepy at all. She didn't know what Xie Yunsong was doing at this moment. She would be able to marry him soon, and she didn't know if he was as happy as she was at this moment, unable to sleep after getting his wish.

Bai Zhiyuan's heart moved. She stood up, walked out of the room, looked around. It was late at night and there was no one around. She jumped and jumped onto the roof.

Today was a clear night, the moonlight was like water. She was about to find a place to sit on the roof, but she saw a vague figure in the distance.

Bai Zhiyuan's heart was beating like a drum and he strode forward. The man seemed to have heard the sound and turned around. When he saw Bai Zhiyuan, he stood up and opened his arms.

Bai Zhiyuan finally saw clearly that this person was Xie Yunsong. She strode towards him and threw herself into his arms.

"Why are you here? Didn't you go back home to spend New Year's Eve with everyone?"

Xie Yunsong said gently, "I went back to the mansion and had dinner with the people there. After I went to bed, I couldn't fall asleep. Today, the emperor finally agreed to grant us a marriage. I was really happy. I thought about it and wanted to see you, but I was afraid that you would have fallen asleep. I remembered that we also sat here to watch the fireworks on New Year's Eve three years ago, so I just sat here and waited for dawn. But I never thought that you and I would be so close and come here."

Bai Zhiyuan chuckled after hearing this and pulled him to sit down. Xie Yunsong was afraid that she would be cold, so he took off his coat and wrapped her tightly, leaving only her head exposed. Only then was he satisfied.

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes were full of joy, and he said, "I couldn't sleep either. I really wanted to see you, so I wanted to sit on the roof and get some fresh air, but I didn't expect to see you here."

Xie Yunsong held her in his arms, his eyes full of smiles.

Bai Zhiyuan seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Why did the emperor suddenly grant us a marriage today? I thought he would do something to embarrass us."

Xie Yunsong was silent for a moment before he said, "My mother entered the palace early this morning."

Hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan stood up from Xie Yunsong's arms and said, "Princess Heyue? She said that day in Puhua Temple that she would help us realize our wish. I thought it was just a word of comfort, but I didn't expect..."

"But even if she is the emperor's biological sister, how could the emperor listen to her and easily grant us a marriage?"

Xie Yunsong lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know about this either. Maybe mother has her own way. The emperor is her elder brother after all."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded and said, "That's right. After all, you and I can finally be together openly."

Xie Yunsong hugged her again and said, "Yes, Ayuan, I'm finally going to marry you."

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes were full of smiles, and he said, "Thank you, General. Please give me more guidance for the rest of my life!"

Xie Yunsong curled his lips and said, "Miss Bai, I will accompany you for the rest of your life!"

The two smiled at each other. Xie Yunsong clearly saw that Bai Zhiyuan's eyes were full of brightness. He was moved and lowered his head and kissed her.

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned at first, but then his eyes were filled with smiles. Their lips intertwined, his mouth was filled with his clearness and the faint taste of wine with a hint of sweetness.

After a long time, he finally let her go. Looking at her misty eyes, his Adam's apple slid a few times, and he calmed his mind. Then, he pecked the corners of her lips a few times with unsatisfied feeling.

Then, he took her into his arms and whispered in her ear: "Ayuan, wait for me to marry you!"
