Wen Chang never thought that the first time she met her grandfather would be like this.

A large group of politicians and senior military officers had just finished their morning meeting and were walking out.

Because of her engagement banquet in two days, she needed to discuss the matters at hand with some ministers in advance.

Before she could say a few words, she looked up and saw two gorgeously dressed men standing outside the White House, each holding a large bouquet of flowers in each hand.

Xuan Mo is fine, but who is the male next to her?

"He is Lieutenant Colonel Ji, your grandfather Ji Xiaobai."

Bai Junxi appeared beside her at some point, and seeing her staring at the two males in a daze, he whispered, "His Majesty has granted him special permission to come back and attend His Highness' engagement banquet."

Hearing this, Wen Chang was stunned for a moment, "Grandpa?"

She had never seen her grandfather since she was a child, but she had seen some videos of him when he was young. If Bai Junxi hadn't told her, she really wouldn't have remembered that this handsome man was her grandfather.

But why did he follow Xuan Mo's example and bring a bunch of flowers to the White House? Didn't she look like a kid waiting anxiously for her parents to pick her up after kindergarten?

Just when Wen Chang was feeling a little ashamed for making such a commotion when they first met, Ji Xiaobai was waving his hands and shouting, "Tangtang! Look at Grandpa!"

Wen Chang really wanted to cover her face. She didn’t miss her childhood when her parents had to pick her up from kindergarten, even though her uncle had only picked her up twice.

"Grandpa, Xuan Mo!"

Although she felt embarrassed, after getting over it, Wen Chang still happily agreed with a smile on her face, and then apologized to the cabinet ministers who were dragged down by her, "Sorry, I have to leave now because of something."

Then, without waiting for them to say anything, he ran over.

Bai Junxi watched her and Xuan Mo hug each other tightly, then hugged his grandfather whom he met for the first time. He lowered his eyes and followed the director of the Executive Office without looking back.

……

"Have you decided? Are you sure you won't regret it?"

During this period, the head of the Bai family left the imperial capital again for some unknown reason, but Bai Junxi had no time to pursue the matter.

Dasara's engagement party was in two days and he didn't have much time.

Bai Junxi said calmly, "I won't regret it. I've already missed it once, and I don't want to miss it a second time."

The head of the Bai family nodded slightly, "Then go ahead. Anyway, our Bai family will have to hand that thing over sooner or later. Now is the right time to take it out. But there is one thing. We still need to deal with it, right?"

Otherwise, if the royal family finds out that the Bai family has been doing so many tricks behind the scenes, even if his marriage with the Crown Princess is successful, the Bai family will be liquidated afterwards.

Bai Junxi nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Dad, everything has been handled."

Dasara's attitude is clear enough. In order to make this political marriage smoother, he will not let anyone easily catch the Bai family's handle.

Patriarch Bai nodded: "In that case, then let's contact Her Royal Highness. With this star map, you will be qualified to compete with others in front of Her Royal Highness."

Bai Junxi frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand how he could be so sure that he was looking for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and not His Majesty the Emperor.

The head of the Bai family smiled and said, "If you don't go to the princess, then you can go to the emperor. His Majesty always remembers that you have rejected the marriage with the princess. If you want to convince the emperor to agree, you obviously have to start with the princess.

Besides, why does Her Royal Highness keep rejecting you? Don't you have any idea of ​​the reason?"

"I know."

Bai Junxi said calmly, "Compared to them, Her Royal Highness and I don't have any emotional foundation."

The head of the Bai family raised his eyebrows slightly, "It seems that you have had a serious discussion. That's good, I don't have to worry about you doing anything out of line."

If he wanted to interfere after Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess got engaged, the head of the Bai family would have to stop him.

After all, his son's situation is different from that of him and his mother. The reason why he was able to intervene between his mother and An Huai without any hesitation was because An Huai himself had offended someone. He just went with the flow, and Junxi's mother came to him on her own.

After she divorced An Huai, the head of the Bai family married her, and then Bai Junxi was born.

But the friendship between childhood sweethearts was there after all, and after the fact that the head of the Bai family had later fanned the flames was exposed, his mother's heart gradually turned to her childhood sweetheart.

Therefore, the head of the Bai family later divorced Junxi's mother privately, but he never announced the fact of divorce to outsiders. If nothing unexpected happens, the three of them will probably be entangled in a mess for the rest of their lives.

……

The next day, Wen Chang received news that Bai Junxi wanted to meet her, and attached to the message was a document about the empire's development strategy.

She flipped through the document, which was from a long time ago. The last paragraph, marked with a red background, contained some beautiful vision about the expansion of the empire, and a sentence from someone unknown.

The general idea is that Your Majesty will be able to expand the territory within a few years during your reign.

Wen Shang didn't quite understand why Bai Junxi sent this document. She walked into the kitchen and handed the message to Lan Yan and the others.

"Bai Junxi sent me this document. What does he mean by this?"

She did not hide her previous experiences with Bai Junxi from them, so they also knew what Bai Junxi's attitude was after he opened up to his fiancée. After all, he had not given up yet.

I guess the reason he sends this kind of meeting message now is to make a final effort.

Lan Yan frowned after seeing this. He exchanged glances with Helix before slowly asking, "Does the Bai family have any connection with the border?"

If this question is simply asking whether there is a connection, then it is pure nonsense. As a family that often intermarries with the former royal family, how could the Bai family not have people planted on the border?

Therefore, Wen Chang pondered for a while and said, "Yes, but the border defense deployment was supervised by my uncle's confidant. Even if they can get some leverage on the border countries, it should not affect the overall situation."

After all, the empire does not have the conditions to expand outward.

People's livelihood, economy, and military have just entered a period of peace. There are still many orcs who survived the Zerg tide in the previous generation. Under their influence, there are still many peace-loving people in the empire.

"Helix, what do you think?"

Lan Yan looked at Helix, who frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head, "I don't know, maybe it's a new strategic resource?"

If the goal is to find new strategic resources, then what kind of strategic resources should they be that can give the empire the capital to expand outward?

Wen Shang looked at Xuan Mo. The Cang Ying family was more well-informed about this matter.

Xuan Mo gave them several guesses, but in the end they were all rejected by Helix and Wen Chang.

One has been in the battlefield for many years and knows very well the strategic resources needed after the large-scale deployment of troops, while the other follows the supreme ruler of the empire every day and knows very well whether the superior is willing to go to war.

The strategic resources that Xuan Mo guessed at were obviously not enough to make His Majesty the Emperor decide to go to war.

The biggest light bulb today was still Wen Chang's grandfather Ji Xiaobai. Seeing that they were all rooted in the kitchen, he came over to understand the situation and suddenly started talking about the old story about this document.

“I don’t remember who initiated this document, but I heard from your grandmother that someone accidentally discovered a new star field, and he took out this document in order to unite the power of the royal family and the aristocratic families to open up a new star field.

But the process of opening up the new star field was not smooth, and in the end, the cost was too high and not proportional to the few gains, so the document was completely scrapped. "
