Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

After returning from Mount Li, Bai Zhiyuan did not go out for several days and stayed in the house every day.

That day, Bai Zhiyuan was leaning on the couch, holding a book in his hand, and slowly flipping through the pages. He didn't even notice that the tea beside him had gone cold, he was just absorbed in reading.

When Ling Xiao came over, he saw his daughter in this state, "Miss, the Madam is here."

Bai Zhiyuan then put down the book in his hand and stood up to greet his mother.

Ling Xiao poured tea for the mother and daughter, and waited on the side with the newcomer Chenxiang.

Princess Duanhui looked at her daughter quietly, and she became more and more charming.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't understand why. She asked, "Mother, why are you here today?"

Princess Duanhui put down her teacup and said with a smile, "Ayuan, your birthday is coming soon. This year is your coming-of-age ceremony. Previously at Mount Li, the Emperor also told you to have a grand celebration. And after your birthday, your mother will also go to the southern border with your father. So your mother wants to give you a grand birthday banquet. What do you think?"

Bai Zhiyuan acted very calm. She said, "Mother, as long as you and father can come back to Beijing often, that's enough for me..."

Princess Duanhui said enthusiastically: "Father and mother will naturally come back often, but this time the coming-of-age ceremony is different from the usual ones, it must be held."

Seeing his mother's excited face, Bai Zhiyuan also said, "Okay, since you want to do it, then let's do it. But my birthday is on April 8th, and there are only a few days left, so I will have to trouble you to prepare."

Princess Duanhui was immediately happy when she heard this, and said, "I will think about it carefully. Our Miss Bai's birthday party must be the best."

After saying this, she stood up and was about to leave, busying herself with preparing for her coming-of-age ceremony.

After Princess Duanhui left, Bai Zhiyuan glanced at Chenxiang who was standing beside him.

Bai Zhiyuan said to Ling Xiao, "Let's invite the King of Yan to my birthday this time. Although I am no longer engaged to him, he is still my senior brother after all. Moreover, the King of Yan is now outstanding in appearance and has risen rapidly in the court. He is the object of admiration of many women in the capital."

Ling Xiao didn't understand. Didn't the young lady always dislike King Yan? But since it was the young lady's idea, she didn't think much about it and just agreed.

When Bai Zhiyuan said this, she naturally noticed that Chenxiang's eyes lit up. In her previous life, after she married into the Prince of Yan's mansion, Ling Xiao had died, and Chenxiang was the only person close to her. But it was this person who climbed into Qi Zeyi's bed behind her back and became his favorite concubine. In this life, she will match you up early so that you can spend a good night together soon.

Bai Zhiyuan took the opportunity to send Chenxiang away. After a moment of silence, he said to Lingxiao, "Keep an eye on Chenxiang these days. If she shows any abnormality, report to me immediately."

"What is Miss going to do?" Ling Xiao was extremely confused.

Bai Zhiyuan smiled slightly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, during the birthday party in a few days, Chenxiang will definitely seize this opportunity to get close to Qi Zeyi."

Ling Xiao understood and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Miss, do you want to help her?"

Bai Zhiyuan nodded, and Ling Xiao continued, "But why would His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan like a maid like Chenxiang?"

Bai Zhiyuan raised his lips and said, "Prince Yan naturally wouldn't like a maid, but you have to believe that Chenxiang will have his own way."

Ling Xiao then nodded and said, "I will keep a close eye on Chen Xiang these days. She actually has second thoughts about Miss. It is better to let her go as soon as possible."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded, and when Ling Xiao left, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.

Ling Xiao gave instructions to Wang Qing. Wang Qing was not a talkative person. Upon hearing this, he also paid attention to Chenxiang's whereabouts.

Early the next morning, Chenxiang went out quietly. Seeing this, Wang Qing followed him secretly.

Chenxiang walked to a remote alley, and looked around. Soon, a quack doctor appeared and gave her a medicine bag. Chenxiang smiled happily, took off the bracelet on her hand, and gave it to the man, who was immediately happy.

After Wang Qing returned home, he immediately reported the situation to Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan pondered over what he said, "Go check what this doctor gave her. Remember not to reveal your identity."

Wang Qing took the order and left. Ling Xiao asked worriedly, "Miss, could she have gotten some poison and drugged you?"

Bai Zhiyuan heard this and smiled, "No, if she poisons me, it won't do her any good."

"What kind of medicine would that be?" Ling Xiao asked.

Bai Zhiyuan replied: "We will know soon."

In the afternoon, Wang Qing came to report: "The drug is a drug that causes hallucinations and sexual pleasure for both men and women."

Bai Zhiyuan had already guessed it, and was not surprised when he heard it. Ling Xiao, on the other hand, could not hide his shock and said, "This vixen actually came up with such a despicable trick."

"Miss, should we stop her? If she succeeds, won't it make our general's mansion a laughing stock?"

Bai Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "No need. Chenxiang is not a family-born child. Outsiders will not think so."

Then he turned to Wang Qing and said, "Find a way to tell Concubine Jiang in Prince Yan's mansion about my birthday banquet, and tell her that Prince Yan will also be attending."

"By the way, during the few days I was away, have you found out why Jiang Muyun was disfigured before, and how could he heal so quickly?"

Wang Qing lowered his head and said, "I am stupid and have not found anything yet."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded and said, "It's hard for you. The Jiang family was executed, and the clues were cut off. It's normal that you can't find it. It's okay, just take your time to investigate."

Wang Qing hurriedly said, "Yes," and walked out.

Within two days, Princess Duanhui sent invitations to each family.

Soon, many people responded to the post, saying that they would come to the banquet. Yes, this was what the emperor said before, so everyone would come.

Princess Duanhui had been busy for several days. She was very happy preparing for Bai Zhiyuan's birthday party, from the food to the decoration of the mansion, she was having a lot of fun.

Bai Zhiyuan was writing a letter to Master Qingyi in the room, telling him that he was going to hold a birthday party and hoped that the master could come. After writing, he sealed it carefully and asked Ling Xiao to deliver it.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't like the hustle and bustle, and couldn't help Princess Duanhui. He sat alone in the room in a daze. Bai Zhiyuan didn't know whether Xie Yunsong would come that day. He definitely didn't like to attend banquets on weekdays. But the emperor personally asked him to come that day, so he should come.

Bai Zhiyuan sighed and wondered what she was thinking. She shook her head and stopped thinking about these messy things.

Then she went out and searched the house for a long time but didn't see anyone.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao hurriedly said, "Madam has gone out to buy supplies for the birthday gift. The master and the young master have gone to the martial arts training ground to train the new soldiers."

Bai Zhiyuan suddenly realized that Dali had recruited many new soldiers this year. Some of them followed Xie Yunsong to the northern border, and the rest followed her father to the southern border. Seeing that the departure day was approaching, it was natural to train the new soldiers intensively.

Bai Zhiyuan said to Ling Xiao, "Let's go take a look. We haven't been out for a few days and we feel bored."

Ling Xiao hurriedly ordered the carriage to be prepared. Bai Zhiyuan went back to the house, changed his clothes, and walked out of the mansion.

The carriage galloped all the way to the martial arts training ground.

Bai Zhiyuan had just arrived at a corner of the martial arts training ground when he heard shouts.

The atmosphere was very lively, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves on the racecourse.

Bai Zhiyuan walked towards the high platform of the martial arts training ground and asked the guard beside him: "Is there a competition going on downstairs?"

"No, County Lady, there are new soldiers who want to see General Yunhui's swordsmanship, and the general just showed off his skills."

Bai Zhiyuan looked up and saw the crowd cheering. Xie Yunsong was standing in the middle, sword shining in his hand and a faint smile on his face. He was surrounded by people like a star surrounding the moon.

The Xie Yunsong that Bai Zhiyuan usually saw was the noble and elegant, yet cold and apathetic son of a court official. But today, among the soldiers, he became heroic, high-spirited, and dazzling like a star.

Maybe he was like this in the military camp. There was never a moment when Bai Zhiyuan wanted to go to the North to see what Xie Yunsong was like in the military camp.

After a while, Bai Zhiyuan looked away and went back without disturbing anyone.
