Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince
Chapter 55 Competition 2
Bai Zhiyuan looked at Princess Changle who had fallen to the ground and said with a smile: "Thank you for showing mercy, Princess. If you lose, the gold medal will belong to me in the future."
On the high platform, Emperor Renxiao's expression became increasingly ugly.
Princess Changle wanted to say something, but Emperor Renxiao said with anger in his eyes: "Changle, I admit defeat."
The queen also quickly opened her mouth and rebuked: "Yes, Changle, quickly leave."
Princess Changle heard this and reluctantly took out the gold medal on her body and threw it to Bai Zhiyuan, who caught it steadily with one hand. Princess Changle glared at her and turned away.
Bai Zhiyuan took the gold medal, walked to the seat of Emperor Renxiao, knelt down, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the subject and Princess Changle were just a joke between girls. As a girl in the boudoir, it is useless for me to ask for the gold medal. I will return this gold medal to Your Majesty and boldly ask Your Majesty to grant me a grace and allow my father and brother to stay in Shangjing for two more months. In more than a month, it will be my birthday and the day of my coming of age. I want my father and brother to accompany me for a few more days. I beg Your Majesty to grant me the grace."
Bai Tingxuan, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help feeling sad when he heard this. He had indeed spent too little time with his daughter, and she even had to ask the emperor to ask him to stay.
Princess Duanhui, who was standing by, was already heartbroken upon hearing this and started crying with her face covered.
Bai Qiuze also had tears in his eyes, and he looked at his sister without blinking.
Seeing this, Cheng Beixiao said sadly, "I didn't know that Miss Bai was so pitiful. She only wanted her father and brother to accompany her for a few more days, but she actually exchanged it for the gold medal."
Xie Yunsong's eyelashes drooped, and a soft color flashed across his heart.
Emperor Renxiao, sitting on the high throne, looked at Bai Zhiyuan. Bai Zhiyuan had a firm gaze, knelt straight, and respectfully presented the gold medal with both hands. The empress, standing beside him, had an obviously unfriendly look in her eyes.
After a moment, Emperor Renxiao laughed and said, "Princess Rong'an impressed me today. She is worthy of being the daughter of a great general. I will grant your request."
Bai Zhiyuan thanked him immediately, and Bai Tingxuan also hurried to thank him after hearing what he said.
Emperor Renxiao glanced at Eunuch Gao beside him, and Eunuch Gao walked down and took the gold medal from Bai Zhiyuan's hand.
Emperor Renxiao said, "Since Rong'an's coming-of-age ceremony is next month, why not hold a grand ceremony? The princes and princesses can all go and celebrate Rong'an's birthday." He then said to Xie Yunsong, "Yunhui, since General Weiyuan will leave later, you should postpone your trip as well. You have always been aloof, so when Rong'an's birthday comes, you can go as well and have fun with everyone else."
Xie Yunsong immediately said, "Yes, I obey your order."
Cheng Beixiao on the side said with a smile: "This is not what you wish for."
Xie Yunsong rolled his eyes at him and didn't say anything.
Seeing Emperor Renxiao pressing his forehead, the empress beside him said softly: "Your Majesty is tired? Why don't we end the banquet tonight?"
Emperor Renxiao nodded and said loudly: "Today is the first day of spring hunting. Everyone should go back and rest early. We will hunt again tomorrow."
After saying this, he walked out by himself, and the queen beside him hurriedly followed him.
The ministers then dispersed.
Bai Zhiyuan and his family were about to go back to the courtyard to rest when suddenly a man who looked like a eunuch came over and whispered in Bai Zhiyuan's ear, "County Lady, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin wants to see you."
Bai Zhiyuan looked up, passed through the crowd and saw Xie Yunsong in the distance, who nodded slightly at her. She understood. She made up a random excuse to Bai Tingxuan and Princess Duanhui, and followed the eunuch all the way to the Prince of Jin's courtyard.
As soon as Bai Zhiyuan entered the room, he saw Xie Yunsong, Cheng Beixiao and his husband Li Mi. In his previous life, Bai Zhiyuan had only seen the King of Jin from a distance, and this was the first time he met him in this life. The King of Jin was wearing a dark blue robe, with long hair tied up, slender eyebrows and eyes, modest and gentle. He sat at the table, casting a faint shadow in the swaying candlelight, and he was a handsome young man.
Seeing Bai Zhiyuan coming, Prince Jin raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile.
"Princess Rong'an, you are indeed a descendant of a military family. Today really opened our eyes."
Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Your Highness, thank you for your compliment. I wonder what you want me to do?"
Prince Jin looked at her gently and said, "I heard from Yun Song that Princess Rong'an is willing to serve me. I wonder if this is true?"
Bai Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Your Highness, even though I am a woman, I know that my words are my bond. Since I have spoken, I will take them seriously."
Cheng Beixiao said from the side: "Look, Your Highness, I said Miss Bai is a heroine."
Li Mi, who was standing by, said with a smile, "It was a great pleasure to see the county lady pick up the scabbard and subdue Princess Changle with one move. Princess Changle usually relies on the emperor's favor and looks down on everyone. Today, she has fallen into a trap."
Upon hearing this, the King of Jin smiled and said, "I heard that the county lady and Master Yunsong are from the same school?"
Xie Yunsong said: "That's right."
Cheng Beixiao said with admiration: "Master Qingyi is worthy of being a master. He can teach you two such powerful martial arts."
Prince Jin said again: "Princess Rong'an, you have offended Changle today, so you must be more careful. Changle is a man who will never give up. I'm afraid you will be in trouble."
Bai Zhiyuan said in a gentle voice: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. However, even if it weren't for today, Princess Changle would have hated me a long time ago. Someone put a drug in the wine I drank today that makes people lose all their strength. Fortunately, I noticed it early and didn't fall for it."
"Oh?" Prince Jin asked suspiciously, "How did the county lady offend Changle?"
Bai Zhiyuan took a sip of tea and said, "Your Highness will have to ask General Xie about this."
Cheng Beixiao said with a smile: "Your Highness, you know Princess Changle's feelings for Yunsong. Today we went hunting together, and Yunsong looked at Miss Bai a little too much, and ended up getting himself killed."
The Prince of Jin suddenly realized, "So that's the case." Then he said seriously, "Yun Song told me before that the county lady is very sensitive to the situation in the court. I wonder what the county lady Rong'an thinks of the current situation?"
Bai Zhiyuan knew that as a woman, the King of Jin would definitely not dare to trust her completely, so she was probably trying to test her today.
She raised her head and glanced at the people in the room. Even Cheng Beixiao looked at her expectantly. She thought, "The court is currently divided between Prince Chen and Prince Yan, who have been fighting for years. The emperor has yet to appoint a crown prince, and I'm afraid he still has some concerns. In my opinion, Your Highness should remain tolerant and let Prince Chen and Prince Yan fight each other. Then, the one who benefits will naturally be Your Highness."
"Also, I want to remind you, Your Highness, to be careful of His Highness Prince Yan. Prince Yan and I are from the same school. He is ruthless and will do anything to achieve his goals. Your Highness should be careful."
"And Your Highness," Bai Zhiyuan paused and continued, "If you want to recruit more people, Prime Minister Li Yu has always been prudent and self-protective. He is in a high position and has great power, so he is naturally the best candidate. There is also Eunuch Gao who is beside the emperor. He has served the emperor for many years. If he wants to guess the emperor's heart, I am afraid no one can know it better than him. But Your Highness does not have to rush to recruit. One day, when Your Highness's strength is enough to compete with other princes, I believe that the Prime Minister and Eunuch Gao are both smart people, and they will naturally make the most favorable choice for them."
The King of Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded with satisfaction, saying, "What the county lady said is absolutely right."
Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "In addition, Shangshu Ling Su Huiyuan is a useful person. He is upright and has always been unwilling to participate in the fight for the throne. If there is a chance, the King of Jin can recruit him."
Upon hearing this, the King of Jin nodded. The corners of his mouth curled up, and a trace of recognition and appreciation flashed in his eyes: "I remember what Princess Rong'an said. Yun Song is right. The Princess is indeed smart and wise."
"Oh?" Bai Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't know that General Xie evaluated me in this way."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Xie Yunsong and said, "So, General Xie, have you changed your mind and want to take me to the northern border with you?"
Xie Yunsong sneered slightly and said, "That's not the case."
Bai Zhiyuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in a fake anger: "General Xie is so cruel, I have suffered because of you today."
Xie Yunsong: “…”
Seeing this, the King of Jin laughed heartily and said, "I didn't know that the usually cold and indifferent Xie Yunsong would be embarrassed in front of Miss Bai. Miss Bai, do you want to go to war too?"
Bai Zhiyuan said solemnly: "I have always been yearning for military life, but my father is unwilling to take me there, and now even General Xie is unwilling to take me there, so it seems that I can only yearn for it."
After saying this, everyone burst into laughter, and even Xie Yunsong's eyes were filled with smiles.
