Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

When Bai Zhiyuan hurried back to the palace, he met his brother Bai Qiuze who had returned with a full load on the road. The two of them rode their horses to the gate of the palace together.

As soon as they entered the hall, everyone was talking about it, perhaps they were all guessing who would come out on top today.

While they were talking, suddenly a group of people rushed in from the door at a very fast speed. Everyone looked over at once. Most people looked surprised, while a small number of people showed disappointed expressions. The person who came back was none other than His Royal Highness Prince of Yan, Qi Zeyi.

The King of Yan was wearing silver armor. His horse and the horses of his attendants behind him were all loaded with prey. He rode in with high spirits.

The Prince of Yan rode his horse to the foot of the high platform, dismounted, and saluted neatly. The emperor on the high throne saw this and showed a satisfied look. Seeing this, all the ministers stood up and praised the Prince of Yan. Not long after, the Prince of Chen also came back, and his horse was also full of prey, but when he saw the Prince of Yan coming back first, his face immediately darkened.

After a while, the others came back one after another.

Bai Zhiyuan was sitting at the bottom seat and saw Xie Yunsong, Cheng Beixiao and Lu Zhiling come in together. According to his speed, he should have arrived long ago. Perhaps he didn't want to compete with the other princes for the first place, so he deliberately waited for the princes to return before coming back.

After Xie Yunsong came back, Emperor Renxiao naturally saw the white fox he hunted and praised him again.

Afterwards, Emperor Renxiao ordered the leader of the imperial guards, Li Mi, to count the prey of everyone. As expected, Prince Chen and Prince Yan had the most prey.

The winner in the end was the Prince of Yan Qi Zeyi, who had already raised the jade ruyi with the green jade phoenix, full of vigor and pride. But when he glanced at Bai Zhiyuan, his eyes were gloomy for a moment, and then he returned to the gentle and elegant Prince of Yan.

It was already late, and the emperor was very pleased to see the princes working so hard, so he ordered everyone to rest for a while as he would hold a spring hunting banquet here in the evening.

In the queen's bedroom on the other side, the queen was wearing a brocade robe with auspicious dragons and phoenixes on it, sitting in front of the dressing table. Her dignified and elegant face was reflected in the bronze mirror. The palace maid behind her was combing the queen's hair carefully, inserting a jade dragon and phoenix hairpin in her hair and wearing a phoenix crown on her head.

A purple gold-inlaid incense burner was placed upright on the table, with wisps of smoke rising slowly from the gaps.

At this moment, a figure rushed in angrily, and said with anger in his tone: "Mother!"

The queen frowned slightly and waved her hand, and the palace maids in the palace hurriedly left.

"Changle, how many times has your mother told you not to be rash? Your father will be unhappy if he sees you. What's wrong with you? Who provoked you?"

Princess Changle's face changed, and she said angrily, "Mother, my father's newly appointed Princess Rong'an actually seduced Brother Yunsong in front of me. Mother, can you help me kill her, please?"

The Queen frowned and said, "Nonsense! Princess Rong'an is the daughter of General Weiyuan, how can she be killed just like that? Tell me, how did she seduce Yunsong in front of you?"

Changle said unhappily, "Mother, Brother Yunsong and I have been childhood sweethearts and grew up together. I have never seen Brother Yunsong smile at any woman, but just now I saw Brother Yunsong smiling gently at Bai Zhiyuan. Mother, how do you want me to swallow this?"

The Queen paused. She had watched Xie Yunsong grow up. He was indeed cold to others and had never shown any interest in anyone. Could it be that as Changle said, Xie Yunsong was in love with the Princess of Rong'an County?

The queen looked at her daughter. She knew that her daughter liked Xie Yunsong, but she knew in her heart that the emperor would not grant a marriage between Xie Yunsong and Changle. The queen sighed in her heart. She had only given birth to two children in her life, and her son died young, which was her lifelong pain. Although her expectations for her daughter were not as high as her son, Changle was her only flesh and blood after all.

The queen looked at her daughter and couldn't bear to tell her the truth.

"Changle, do you know that Yunsong doesn't like you?"

Changle bit her lip and said nothing. She had liked that cold boy since she was a child, but he had never looked at her straight in the eye. She was the emperor's favorite princess, born to the queen, a legitimate princess, how could she be inferior to a general's daughter who could only wield a sword. Thinking of Xie Yunsong's smile today, she felt blinded. She was jealous and crazy, and she wanted to rush up and stab Bai Zhiyuan to death with a sword.

Thinking of this, Princess Changle knelt down, grabbed the queen's skirt, and said angrily: "Mother, please help Changle. I only want Brother Yunsong, can you help me kill Bai Zhiyuan? Please, mother."

The queen let out a long sigh. After all, she was her daughter. How could she bear to see her so sad?

"Forget it, Changle, you get up first."

"I won't get up unless my mother agrees." Princess Changle cried with red eyes.

The Queen stared at Princess Changle for a long time before helping her up and saying, "Your Majesty will help you."

Princess Changle's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you, mother. What should we do?"

The queen raised her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements.

As night fell, the evening banquet was about to begin. The emperor, empress, concubines and princes had already taken their seats.

Bai Zhiyuan sat at the table, carefully looking at the people at the banquet. Because there was no gender distinction at the banquet, Bai Zhiyuan sat with his family. Seeing that his sister had not started eating, Bai Qiuze kept serving food to Bai Zhiyuan. Bai Zhiyuan looked at the pile of bowls in front of him, smiled helplessly, and started eating.

Bai Zhiyuan raised a glass of fruit wine and was about to drink it, but she could smell something wrong in the wine. In her previous life, Bai Zhiyuan was the concubine of King Yan, and she was used to all kinds of tricks in the palace. Although she didn't know medicine, she could tell something was wrong when she smelled the wine.

When she came to her senses, she remained calm, pretended to take a sip of the wine, and then secretly spit it out.

She secretly observed the people in the hall, and saw that King Qi Zeyi of Yan, who was sitting opposite her, was also looking at her.

Bai Zhiyuan lowered his head and dug his fist fingers into his palms.

In the previous life, the many years of companionship and devoted assistance were exchanged for nothing more than having his eyes gouged out and his legs chopped off, and the whole family was killed. It was this person in front of him who looked as gentle as jade, but was kind on the surface, but actually cruel.

Bai Zhiyuan raised his eyes and looked back at Qi Zeyi with disgust. Qi Zeyi narrowed his eyes and the fingers holding the wine glass turned slightly white.

Bai Zhiyuan continued to scan the people at the banquet, wondering who had poisoned her today. This poison was not fatal, but it made people weak and powerless. It was the poison she had been poisoned by when she competed with Jiang Muyun in Zhongnan Mountain. She had been injured by Jiang Muyun that day. She had never expected that she would encounter it again today.

Bai Zhiyuan's long eyelashes hid her thoughts in her eyes, and then she felt a murderous intent. She looked over and saw Princess Changle, who was sitting below the Emperor and Empress. Her eyes were fierce and full of hatred.

Bai Zhiyuan understood immediately and realized that it was Princess Changle, but he didn't know what tricks she would use to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhiyuan glanced at Xie Yunsong with a hint of resentment. Coincidentally, Xie Yunsong also looked at her, and their eyes met in the air. The air stagnated for a moment, and his dark and slightly cold eyebrows carried a hint of scrutiny.

Bai Zhiyuan blinked at him and then looked away.
