In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Jing discussed with a group of ministers and summoned Jiang Que into the palace. Jiang Que bowed respectfully to Emperor Jing who was sitting at the table in the imperial study and waited for instructions.

Emperor Jing's face was a little pale. He had been worrying about the border affairs from morning until now. He hadn't had lunch yet, and his body was already a little overwhelmed.

As expected, Emperor Jing decided to send Jiang Que to lead an army of 20 to the frontier immediately to repel the southern barbarians. There was no surprise on Jiang Que's face as he accepted the order and left.

Emperor Jing looked at the young man's back but felt slightly in a trance, as if there was a scene that spanned time and space and overlapped with today's scene.

Ten years ago, Jiang Zhe led his troops to the battlefield without hesitation and finally defended the border and protected the peace of Jingguo.

Jingguo had Jiang Zhe as a pinnacle, and the Nanman people did not dare to do it again for many years. It was not until they received the news that Jiang Zhe resigned and went into seclusion that they regained their morale and sent troops to Jingguo again.

"Xiao Fuzi, do you think Jiang Que can hold the border this time?"

Emperor Jing looked at the disappearing figure in the distance slightly absentmindedly, and a touch of worry gradually rose in his heart.

Eunuch Liu looked at Emperor Jing's look and knew what he was thinking. He thought for a moment and added a cup of hot tea for Emperor Jing before replying:

"Your Majesty, the tiger father has no dogs, so I thought that Crown Prince Rong An would definitely return in triumph."

What happens after returning?Will he become the second King Wencheng again?

But this time, Crown Prince Rong An is already engaged to Princess Jing'an. With Princess Jing'an's reputation among the people and the Jishi Hall in her hands, he will surely be even more powerful.

Emperor Jing's hand kept holding the tea cup on the table tightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about in his heart.

Baifu——

Bai Shaoyuan excitedly read the letter in his hand over and over again. He was so happy that he almost jumped up with joy.

Someone is actually willing to buy this second daughter at a high price to be a concubine. The Song family is worthy of being ranked among the top ten wealthy businessmen in the capital.

He was actually willing to spend 800 taels of silver to buy his daughter, who had already been married!

Bai Shaoyuan only felt that he was dizzy from being hit by the money. In the past, he would have looked down on this mere 800 taels of silver, but things were different now.

In the past, when the Prime Minister's Mansion was in its heyday, he had never seen more money, but with the decline of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even today, all the cash in his family's total amount is less than 800 taels.

How can he not be moved?

Chen's daily decoctions and supplements, as well as his mother's illness, all require a lot of money. With this money, he can have a good sleep.

Bai Shaoyuan didn't worry at all about Bai Lishi's willingness to remarry, so he agreed to the marriage for her on his own initiative.

Anyway, she was just sent to someone else's house to be a concubine. After the first lunar month, she could find a good day and carry her in a small sedan chair to the side entrance of Song Mansion.

Being able to become a concubine in a wealthy family like the Song Mansion would not be considered as wronging this daughter.

"Go and call the second lady over."

Bai Shaoyuan carefully put away the letter in his hand, and then ordered with a smile on his face. The boy immediately ran all the way towards Bai Lishi's yard.

Bai Lishi had heard the news a long time ago, but before she actually heard what her father said, she still had a vague fantasy in her heart.

This illusion was shattered the moment Bai Shaoyuan handed the letter into her hands.

Bai Lishi opened the letter in her hand expressionlessly, and after reading it word by word, she couldn't recover for a long time.

Bai Shaoyuan looked at his second daughter's appearance and thought she was dizzy with joy. He patted her shoulder and said with a smile:

"Shi'er, you have always been a blessed child. When you enter the Song Mansion, don't forget about being a father."

There is so much money in the Song Mansion, and his daughter is extremely beautiful and outstanding, so why worry about not being able to prosper in the Song Mansion?

As long as Bai Lishi gives them whatever they want, it will be enough for the entire Bai Mansion to have food and drink.

When Bai Shaoyuan thought of this, he could no longer suppress the excitement on his face. After such a long and frustrating life, he had really had enough!

Bai Lishi held the letter tightly in her hands, her face was no longer a trace of blood, and she asked tremblingly:

"Father agreed?"

Bai Shaoyuan glanced at his daughter in front of him strangely, and replied disapprovingly: "Of course I agree. I would be really stupid if I didn't agree to such a good marriage."

After hearing Bai Shaoyuan's words, Bai Lishi's heart completely turned cold. She stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked unwillingly:

"Father, I am your legitimate daughter. Are you going to send your daughter to a merchant as a concubine now? No matter how bad I am, I, Bai Lishi, was once the third prince's concubine. If you do this now, aren't you attacking the royal family? Face? What should I do if the emperor blames you? "

Bai Lishi looked at her father who was a complete stranger in front of her in confusion. She could not find any trace of him when he was the prime minister.

Bai Shaoyuan didn't expect that his daughter, who had always been well-behaved and never caused trouble for him, would actually gain his face like this.

Even if it made sense, he still couldn't accept it.

Royal face?Can he use his royal dignity to support his family?

Bai Shaoyuan looked at Bai Lishi with hatred and said angrily: "This matter is settled now. You and the third prince have reconciled and have no contact with the royal family anymore. Your Majesty has no reason to take action against the Bai Mansion. Besides, you You are my daughter, I have worked so hard to raise you, and it is time for you to repay the Bai Mansion."

Neither one of them thinks about the Bai family. They have been raised for nothing!

Even if His Majesty is unhappy, he cannot do anything to him at will. What does it matter to others which family his own daughter wants to marry?

After all, she just doesn't want to get married!

"Okay! Go back to your own yard. You don't need to worry about this. Just relax and prepare to enjoy your happiness."

Bai Shaoyuan turned around impatiently and waved his hand towards the woman behind him, unwilling to say a word to his short-sighted daughter.

Bai Lishi walked out of the study in a daze. At this time, her mind was extremely clear. She felt extremely strange walking on the bluestone road of Bai Mansion again after half a year.

Is this still the place where she grew up?

After wandering around, I came to the courtyard where Bai Yanci used to live, Yanran Courtyard.

Bai Lishi hesitantly opened the courtyard door and walked toward the courtyard. Although the courtyard had been uninhabited for a long time, it was not deserted at all. It could be seen that someone was cleaning the courtyard from time to time.

Scenes from the past appeared before her eyes again. Bai Lishi walked very slowly, as if she could hear the laughter and laughter of the past again.
