Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

It has been a few days since Bai Zhiyuan returned to Beijing. As spring approaches, the weather is gradually getting warmer.

In the early morning, she stood in front of the window, feeling the breeze blowing across her face, and she didn't feel cold. She looked towards the north, thinking that if it was the north, it might still be very cold at this moment.

Bai Zhiyuan smiled bitterly. She had already returned to Beijing, so why was she still thinking about the North?

She collected her thoughts and ordered Xia Qing to call Wang Guanjia and Wang Qing. She had to know everything that happened in the capital during the time she was away.

After a while, Bai Zhiyuan sat in the courtyard drinking tea and waiting for Wang Qing. In the past few days, Ling Xiao made various kinds of supplements for her every day, saying that she had lost a lot of weight in the past two years. Bai Zhiyuan had a headache, she really couldn't eat these so-called supplements. After Ling Xiao finally stopped for a while, she quickly found Wang Qing to learn about the situation in the past two years in Beijing.

While she was deep in thought, Wang Qing soon came in front of her.

Bai Zhiyuan raised his head and asked, "Wang Qing, before I left, I asked you to keep an eye on Prince Yan's Mansion. Has anything happened in Prince Yan's Mansion in the past two years?"

Wang Qing replied, "I wrote to you before, and in the letter I told you about the situation in Prince Yan's mansion. Prince Yan Qi Zeyi has become less and less fond of going out in the past two years. He stays in the mansion except for attending court. His concubine Jiang Muyun was found to have a disfigured face by Prince Yan, and she had already fallen out of favor. But later, for some reason, a quack doctor came and Jiang Muyun began to regain his favor, even more than before. Prince Yan even went to her courtyard every night."

"As for Chenxiang, after she gave birth to the child, she was handed over to Jiang Muyun to raise. But Jiang Muyun later only moved around in her own yard. I tried many ways, but couldn't get into her yard."

Bai Zhiyuan was also puzzled after hearing this. "I'm not surprised that she regained favor. Jiang Muyun has the ability to make Qi Zeyi devoted to her. But she has always been ostentatious, why has she been so quiet in the past two years, and even didn't leave the yard? This is not like her character."

Wang Qing agreed, "Yes. Before her disfigurement was discovered, she and Chenxiang were already at odds. It is true that this person has a flamboyant personality, as the young lady said. But since the doctor entered the Prince of Yan's mansion, she has rarely appeared in public."

Bai Zhiyuan thought, "You keep watching. If you have a chance, sneak into her yard and take a look. If you don't have the chance, that's fine. After all, I'm back. I don't believe she can keep hiding."

Wang Qing quickly responded: "Yes!"

Bai Zhiyuan asked again: "Have all the princes' marriages been decided?"

Wang Qing said, "The Third Prince, Prince Chen, made a marriage contract with Su Qingxue, the daughter of Shangshu Ling Su Huiyuan, some time ago."

Bai Zhiyuan understood this in his heart, and this was the same as in his previous life. It was just that Su Qingxue, a talented woman of her generation, died of depression because she married Prince Chen, and also implicated her father, the upright Minister Su.

I don't know if she will have the chance to help Su Qingxue in this life. After all, her brother seems to pay much attention to this Miss Su. If she doesn't marry the Prince of Chen, but marries her brother, it would be a good thing.

Bai Zhiyuan kept this matter in mind.

Wang Qing continued, "The marriage of Prince of Yan Qi Zeyi is now a hot topic in the court. Previously, he broke off the engagement with his young lady and was supposed to marry Jiang Muyun as his principal wife. However, he did not expect that the Jiang family rebelled and Jiang Muyun lost her status as principal wife. Now the position of Princess of Yan is vacant and is also a position that is being fought over by the young ladies of various official families in Shangjing City."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered, "All the young ladies from the official families only see that our Prince of Yan is gentle and elegant, and is a hot candidate for the throne, but they don't know that he is a treacherous and two-faced person. Whoever marries him will ruin their life."

Wang Qing didn't understand why. He just thought that the young lady hated the King of Yan. He continued, "He missed our young lady. I'm afraid he must be regretting it now."

Bai Zhiyuan: "I don't know whether he regrets it or not, but I am glad that I broke off the engagement with him early. Whoever wants to be the Princess of Yan can do it."

Wang Qing seemed to remember something, and hesitantly said, "Miss, I heard a rumor before. I don't know whether it is true or not, but I think I still have to tell you."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Rumor has it that the Prince of Yan was unhappy with the breakup of the engagement with you, and he went to the palace to ask Concubine Rou to find a way to keep the position of the Prince of Yan's Concubine for you."

Bai Zhiyuan said coldly, "Whether it's true or not, this is impossible. I broke off the engagement with him in front of all the ministers. If he wants to marry me again, his wolfish ambition will inevitably be exposed. He won't be so stupid. Even if he still doesn't want to give up the military power of my Bai family, at least he won't do it now and won't do it openly. Don't worry about him, just continue to send people to keep an eye on Prince Yan's Mansion."

Wang Qing responded, "Yes, Miss."

Bai Zhiyuan asked again: "What about the King of Jin? Is the King of Jin married?"

Wang Qing was stunned for a moment, then said, "Prince Jin? Probably not. I haven't paid special attention to Prince Jin."

Bai Zhiyuan said: "You must pay more attention to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin in the future. I want to know everything about him."

Wang Qing nodded in agreement.

Bai Zhiyuan also asked about the situation in Shangjing and the various palaces in the palace, and Wang Qing told him everything he knew.

Bai Zhiyuan had an idea in mind. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Take my badge to the palace and tell it to you that Princess Rong'an wants to see the emperor during the morning court session."

Wang Qing was also a little surprised and asked, "Young lady, are you going to enter the palace?"

"Yes, I think everyone has already known the news of my return, and it is time for me to show myself in front of everyone. You go ahead and do it, I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning."

Wang Qing took the order and left.

In the palace of Shangjing City, in the emperor's bedroom, the strong smell of medicine filled the entire bedroom, and the incense in the incense burner made people feel headache.

On the dragon bed, Emperor Renxiao leaned on the couch with his eyes half closed, and the concubine beside him was gently feeding him medicine spoonful by spoonful. This person was the biological mother of Prince Yan, Concubine Rou.

She fed him very carefully and patiently. She blew on it a little bit to cool it down, and then she tried it herself to make sure it was not hot before she slowly fed it to Emperor Renxiao's mouth.

After feeding him, he gently patted Emperor Renxiao's back to help him breathe more smoothly.

Seeing her serving him so carefully, Emperor Renxiao's eyes softened a little and he said, "In this palace, you are the one who makes me feel most comfortable."

Concubine Rou smiled gently and said, "As long as Your Majesty likes it."

In two years, Shangjing had changed a lot. No matter how energetic Emperor Renxiao was, he could not resist the erosion of time. Moreover, he had several sons who were younger and stronger than him, eyeing his throne covetously. Due to internal and external troubles, he had aged a lot, and his health was naturally not as good as before.

The next moment, the eunuch Li Gonggong came on tiptoe to report, "Your Majesty, Princess Rong'an has returned to the capital. She handed in a badge to the palace, saying that she wanted to come to the palace to see Your Majesty during the morning court tomorrow."

When Concubine Rou heard Bai Zhiyuan's name, disgust flashed in her eyes. How come this little bitch didn't die in the northern border and came back safely? But she didn't dare to speak, she just lowered her head and fiddled with the enamel bowl in her hand.

Emperor Renxiao was not surprised after hearing this. He half-closed his eyes, paused for a moment and said, "Okay, let her come tomorrow morning. I want to see what she wants to do."

Eunuch Li bowed and said yes, then quickly left.

Bai Zhiyuan soon received a reply from the emperor asking her to come to the palace the next day. She stood in the courtyard, stroking the flower buds that were just beginning to sprout, her face full of contemplation.

Now that she is back, the storm in the capital will only come sooner.
