Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

As night fell, Xie Yunsong and his party finally arrived in Wudu.

Prince Jingyang had heard the news earlier, just a few days ago. Just after dinner, he heard the servants report, "The young lady and her friends have arrived at the city gate."

Jingyang Wang stood up suddenly, with a look of joy on his face, and said, "Go and tell Xin Zhao quickly, call the whole family, and follow me to the gate of the mansion to welcome Ayuan."

The servant was also delighted and said hurriedly, "Yes. I haven't seen the prince so happy for a long time."

King Jingyang said: "I have seen Ayuan for many years. I wonder what this little girl looks like now. When she was a child, she loved to follow me..."

King Jingyang was anxious, so he pulled himself back to his senses and said, "Go down and get ready, and follow me to the door to greet you."

That servant was also Steward Xu, who had followed Prince Jingyang for many years. He had watched Princess Duanhui and Marquis Qingyuan grow up. Bai Zhiyuan had lived in Prince Jingyang's mansion for a period of time when she was a child. At that time, she was still a little girl, but in the blink of an eye, she had reached marriage age.

When they heard that the young lady was coming, the palace had already started preparing. The palace had no mistress, and the princess had died when the princess and the marquis were young. Over the years, King Jingyang raised his two children and never remarried. The prince was looking forward to reunion all day long. When he heard that the young lady was coming soon, he gave instructions on everything.

When Steward Xu thought of this, he did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly sent someone to inform the Marquis and check if there was anything missing.

Jingyang Palace hasn't been so lively for many years.

Prince Jingyang stood at the gate of the mansion, and Butler Xu had stretched his neck to look many times.

Bai Zhiyuan had not arrived yet, but Marquis Qingyuan behind him was also full of expectations. The deeds of his niece had spread from Shangjing to Wudu. It was heard that she had also gone to the northern border with General Yunhui. It was true that a tiger father has a dog daughter. She seemed to be from their Jingyang Palace.

Standing next to the Marquis of Qingyuan was a tall and amiable woman, presumably Bai Zhiyuan's aunt, Luo Zhiyun. She was a native of Wudu, the daughter of a merchant in Wudu.

Behind Luo Zhiyun stood a pretty girl with almond-shaped eyes, also staring ahead with curiosity. Next to her stood a handsome young man, who whispered, "Brother, who do you think that cousin is? Is it necessary for grandfather to mobilize so many troops? Besides, we've been waiting for a long time but no one has shown up. What a big deal."

The young man said in a gentle voice: "My cousin is my aunt's only daughter and also our family, so she is definitely worth our waiting."

The girl continued, "I have heard about the deeds of my cousin from Shangjing City in Wudu. It is said that she insisted on breaking off the engagement with the current Prince of Yan and eloped to the northern border with General Yunhui. How could she, a woman, abandon her own reputation?"

"Shut up!" A loud shout interrupted the girl's words. It was King Jingyang who gave her a vicious look. The girl pursed her lips in grievance and dared not speak again.

Luo Zhiyun, who was standing nearby, quickly tugged at the girl's sleeve. The girl said aggrievedly, "This cousin hasn't even arrived yet, and Grandfather has already started to show partiality to her. He protects her like this. I want to see what she is capable of."

Luo Zhiyun was afraid that King Jingyang would hear it again, so she hurriedly pulled the hand of the girl, her daughter Qi Shuyue.

Bai Tingxuan led troops to fight for many years, and every time he went from Shangjing to the southern border, he would pass by Wudu, so they often met. But Bai Zhiyuan was left in Shangjing after a serious illness in the southern border when he was a child. They haven't seen Bai Zhiyuan, who was said to have been conferred the title of county lord, for many years.

Just outside the Jingyang Gate Mansion, when the boy and the girl were whispering, the sound of horse hooves came from the corner. Looking up, they saw a group of people riding horses slowly approaching. The man in the lead sat upright on the horse, with a tall and straight figure, wearing a black suit, with cold eyebrows and handsome face, and a kind of cold and fierce aura that could not be concealed.

The girl beside him, riding on the horse, was wearing a green dress, a white cape, a simple silver hairpin on her head, delicate features, jade-like complexion, and a sword on her waist, which made her look heroic. She was not inferior to the handsome man next to her. On the contrary, the two of them seemed to be a natural match in their every move. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, which made people unable to take their eyes away.

Several people came on horseback, and when they reached the gate of Jingyang Palace, they stopped their horses. Bai Zhiyuan jumped off the horse, and Xie Yunsong also turned over and took Bai Zhiyuan's horse.

Bai Zhiyuan walked forward step by step until he was in front of King Jingyang. King Jingyang was tall and mighty, with a serious face. Looking closely, he looked a bit like Emperor Renxiao, with the majesty of a superior. He was frowning and looking at Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan raised her head and looked at King Jingyang. Her nose felt sore, her eyes turned red, and she choked up and said, "Grandfather!"

King Jingyang then confirmed that the girl in front of him was his granddaughter. He patted Bai Zhiyuan on the head and said, "Glad that you're back!"

The word "come back" made Bai Zhiyuan unable to hold back her tears and she threw herself into King Jingyang's arms and sobbed. She had been telling herself not to think about her past life and not to be rude, but she couldn't help but tear up when she saw her grandfather.

King Jingyang thought she was worried about her brother and patted her shoulder to comfort her. After a while, Bai Zhiyuan raised her head, her eyes slightly red, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, grandfather. It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time and I can't control my emotions for a while."

The moment she saw her grandfather, memories of her past life came flooding back. The pain of her parents' tragic death made her grandfather, who had always been in his prime, instantly age several years older. The grandfather from her previous life and the grandfather from this life overlapped, making Bai Zhiyuan unable to control her emotions for a moment.

King Jingyang laughed loudly, wiped away Bai Zhiyuan's tears, and said, "Nothing, go meet your uncle, aunt, and cousins."

Bai Zhiyuan then met her uncle and greeted him. Her memories of her uncle and aunt in her past and present lives were very vague, so she did not show much affection.

It was Bai Zhiyuan's cousin, a gentle and honest young man named Qi Wenjing, who greeted her politely.

And Bai Zhiyuan's cousin looked at Bai Zhiyuan with a scrutinizing expression.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't mind and greeted everyone. He then pulled Xie Yunsong to the front of King Jingyang and said, "Grandfather, this is the current General Yunhui of the Northern Territory - Xie Yunsong."

Although Prince Jingyang was far away from the capital, he was still a member of the royal family. When he came to the capital, he had met Xie Yunsong's father. Hearing this, he looked Xie Yunsong up and down and said, "Yes, he is indeed a young hero."

Xie Yunsong bowed and said, "Greetings to King Jingyang."

Prince Jingyang stepped forward, helped Xie Yunsong up, and took another look at his granddaughter. Although he had many questions to ask, due to the large number of people here, he had no choice but to hold back and wait for an opportunity to ask.

King Jingyang looked behind Xie Yunsong again and saw a young man in white, waving a folding fan in the middle of winter. He couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"

Bai Zhiyuan pulled Cheng Beixiao over and introduced him, "This is Cheng Beixiao, the son of the current imperial physician Cheng Yuanheng. I specially invited him to go to the southern border to detoxify my brother."

Cheng Beixiao also saluted to King Jingyang, who patted him on the shoulder and said, "In that case, I'll trouble Master Cheng to save my grandson."

He had heard about Bai Qiuze's case a long time ago, and he also found several doctors in Wudu and sent them to the southern border, but unfortunately they all failed to successfully save Bai Qiuze. King Jingyang was also at a loss, but now with Cheng Beixiao, he felt a little relieved.
