Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

Time flies, and it’s the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month was the annual Lantern Festival in the Dali Dynasty, which was a grand festival for the people of Dali. On that day, young people went out to the streets, set off lanterns by the moat, drank wine and wrote poems, and had a great time.

Bai Zhiyuan was woken up by Ling Xiao early in the morning. She was busy choosing clothes and jewelry for her to wear today, and said excitedly: "Miss, you must look outstanding today, so that the King of Yan will see that he missed such a beautiful lady like ours."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled gently and followed Ling Xiao.

After washing up, Bai Zhiyuan sat at the table, slowly drinking a cup of red date and lotus seed tea. She was dignified and elegant, with a gentle and peaceful expression. When Ling Xiao came in, he was stunned when he saw her.

Bai Zhiyuan asked inexplicably: "What's wrong?"

Ling Xiao came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "Miss, Master Qingyi is here."

Bai Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly got up to go to the gate to greet him.

Before reaching the gate, Bai Zhiyuan heard the voices of his master and father from afar. He quickened his pace, and when he saw Master Qingyi, he couldn't help but rush over and hug Master Qingyi's arm, saying coquettishly, "Master, you are finally here. I missed you so much."

Master Qingyi smiled kindly and touched her head.

Bai Tingxuan on the side said jokingly, "My father is not as close as my master."

Hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly pulled Bai Tingxuan and said with a smile, "Father, you are so old, why are you still jealous of Master?"

Master Qingyi and Bai Tingxuan laughed out loud when they heard this, and the three of them walked into the house together.

"Master, I have already explained in my letter that I asked you to come here this time. My father and I are worried about my mother's poison, so I want you to take her pulse."

Master Qingyi said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Ayuan. This is why I came here. Ayuan, please take me to see Princess Duanhui's courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly took Master Qingyi and his father to Princess Duanhui's courtyard.

When they arrived at Princess Duanhui's courtyard, Princess Duanhui was very happy to see Master Qingyi.

Master Qingyi carefully felt the pulse of Princess Duanhui, and after a while, he said with relief: "The princess is fine. The poison was administered for a short time and the dosage was not high, so it did not cause any damage. I will prescribe a few more medicines for the princess to regulate her body and completely eliminate the poison from her body."

After hearing this, Bai Tingxuan and Bai Zhiyuan finally felt relieved.

Princess Duanhui hurriedly thanked Master Qingyi, who waved his hand and said with a smile, "The princess and the general saved my life, this is just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning."

Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal. The master waved his hand and said, "Ayuan, the master came here only to check the pulse of the princess. Since the princess is fine, the master will return to Zhongnan Mountain."

Bai Tingxuan hurriedly said: "Master, why are you leaving now? Since you are here, of course you can stay in the mansion for a few more days, and you can also learn martial arts from me more."

Bai Zhiyuan echoed, "Yes, Master, I also want you to give me some advice on swordsmanship to see if I have regressed recently."

Master Qingyi shook his head and said, "Recently, the capital has been in turmoil. The King of Yan has repeatedly come to Mount Zhongnan to find me and asked me to come to the capital to become his disciple. The general and Ayuan know that I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the court. But recently, I have been feeling a little uneasy. I'd better go back as soon as possible. Today is the Lantern Festival, and I will spend it with the adopted children."

After hearing this, Bai Tingxuan and Bai Zhiyuan stopped forcing it.

Bai Tingxuan had to rush to the martial arts training ground to train the new recruits, so he said goodbye to Master Qingyi.

Bai Zhiyuan sent Master Qingyi to the gate of the mansion.

"Master, there is something I don't know whether I should say it to you." Bai Zhiyuan said hesitantly.

Master Qingyi smiled and said, "Ayuan, is there anything that even Master cannot tell you?"

Bai Zhiyuan raised his eyes and said, "Master, I know Qi Zeyi's personality. He is narrow-minded. If he fails to get your help again and again, he might have murderous intentions and harm you. Master, please be more careful. If it really doesn't work, leave Zhongnan Mountain. My Bai family will protect you. If you don't want to stay in Shangjing, you can leave Shangjing and stay away from trouble."

Master Qingyi frowned upon hearing this, and after a moment, he said softly, "I may have thought of what Ayuan said. But I am his master after all, and I cannot bear to see him go to extremes. In addition, he is the son of an old friend after all, so I always have some concerns."

Bai Zhiyuan looked at Master Qingyi and asked, "Master, are you still obsessed with that person?"

Master Qingyi shook his head. "How could that be? It's just that the past feelings can never be severed."

Bai Zhiyuan hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Master, in this world, people will change. Whether it is Qi Zeyi or Concubine Rou, they can do anything for their own benefit. What I said today is just to remind you to be more vigilant."

Master Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then he thought: "Ayuan is right, Master will be more careful."

"Okay, Ayuan, come back soon." Master Qingyi urged with a smile.

Bai Zhiyuan stared at Master Qingyi closely, thinking of the tragic death of her master in her previous life. In this life, she had saved her father, and hoped to save her master as well. Thinking of this, she said worriedly, "Master, you must remember what I said and be more careful."

Master Qingyi nodded, then jumped on his horse, waved at Bai Zhiyuan, and galloped away.

Bai Zhiyuan watched his master's back getting farther and farther away until he could no longer see him, then he turned around and went back.

After the afternoon, when the sun was setting, Bai Qiuze could no longer hold back and urged Bai Zhiyuan to go to the restaurant on the bank of the moat as soon as possible to admire the lanterns all over Shangjing.

Bai Zhiyuan had packed up early. Today she wore a snow-white fox fur jacket with brocade edges and a pipa collar, and a white embroidered brocade skirt. Her long hair was tied up, and she wore a jade hairpin and a red cloak on the outside. As she walked gently, the red fur fluttered in the wind, which was very eye-catching.

Bai Zhiyuan thought about it and decided that it was not convenient to bring a sword as there were many people near the moat today. Just in case, Bai Zhiyuan found a dagger that could cut through iron like mud and inserted it into her boots. Only then did he feel relieved and walked out of the room.

The coachman was waiting in front of the mansion early. Bai Zhiyuan got on the carriage first, followed by Ling Xiao. Bai Qiuze took another carriage. Bai Tingxuan was worried, so he ordered several guards from the Bai Mansion to follow and sent them to the moat.
