Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Two days after driving Xiao Si away, Cao Jian came again in high spirits. This time Bai Yunxi did not object and let him go according to the official procedure.

Fortunately, she had already started preparing the dowry for her daughter, and all she had to do was put it in order and put it on the list.

What was missing was a dowry girl. Originally, she had two girls with her, and six more were prepared for her to take away, which was enough.

After receiving the permission, Cao Jian excitedly thanked him again and again, turned around and rushed out.

Now, the entire mansion knows about this.After surprise comes congratulations,
Mrs. Li walked up to her sister-in-law and looked at her with a smile.

"Although Cao Yishi is older, he is in good health. After getting married, he will seize the time and have two children as soon as possible. He will not be able to have more children."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Jingjing's face turned red.
"Second sister-in-law, what are you talking nonsense about? You haven't even written your horoscope yet. You're thinking too far."

Brother Cao himself said that the best thing for a martial arts practitioner is his body.

"No matter how far you are, the official media will come to your door. Sooner or later, you will get married. Don't worry, my second sister-in-law will go to the warehouse and pick up things to add makeup to you."

Following Li's joke, others also followed suit, immediately embarrassing Bai Anjing and running away.

After getting the approval, the marriage went smoothly, and Cao Jian did a good job. In order to show his sincerity, not only did he give a practical betrothal gift, but he also hunted a wild goose himself.

Only then did Baiyun Xi know that Cao Jian had kept a small treasury.

The wedding is scheduled for the sixth day of March next year, so it's auspicious.

Even so, time is very tight, and there are still three months left.

At the same time, Prime Minister Mu gave a lie to the court and asked to retire and return to his hometown.

Of course, he was still rejected by the officials. Not only did they comfort him with a few words, they also gave some treasures to the Mu family to show the emperor's great kindness.

Prime Minister Mu retired, and when he looked at the official's attitude, he couldn't help but think about it.

Especially Mu's party, they look up to Prime Minister Mu. If he retires, who knows where they will go in the future?
Although those people looked heavy, they made no other moves.

On the bright side, the court remains calm. As for the turbulence behind the scenes, only those who are in it can understand.

In the blink of an eye, it was the annual palace banquet again, and Bai Yunxi still took Yaya to the banquet.

Compared to the last time when everyone was looking at him probingly, this time at the banquet, many people became enthusiastic and looked for various topics to get closer to each other.

Faced with the sudden enthusiasm from everyone, Bai Yunxi always smiled appropriately and greeted everyone.

Even the Queen's smile looked a little more genuine when she looked at her.

This year passed peacefully. Not only did the Bai family have more people, Xiao Wu also stood firmer.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed. It was Baiyunxi's 11th year here. She reached the age of 47 and became an old lady in the mansion.

At the court meeting on the first day of the new year, Prime Minister Mu once again handed over the instructions for his retirement, and this time the officials finally agreed.

"Mr. Mu has devoted himself to the imperial court and is a loyal minister of the imperial court. Mr. Mu's return to his hometown is a loss to the imperial court. I am very reluctant to part with him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your approval. The old minister is old and slow in action. I am a huge country with an inexhaustible supply of young talents. From now on, the court will be dominated by young people."

Prime Minister Mu said, turned to look at Xiao Wu, and knelt down on the ground.
"Before I leave, I have one more thing to ask of you. I would like your Majesty to decide."

Emperor Cheng Xuan looked at Prime Minister Mu kneeling on the ground and frowned almost unnoticeably.
"If you have any other long-cherished wishes, dear, just tell me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The veteran Guan Bai Hanlin is very knowledgeable. He is a rare young talent. He is courageous, calm in character and quick in thinking. He is a role model for young people."

"Such a handsome man is qualified for the position of prime minister."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole hall could hear the sound of pindrops.

Anyone who is not stupid knows that Prime Minister Mu and Bai Hanlin are opposites. What does it mean to suddenly recommend Bai Hanlin now?
Surprise flashed in Emperor Cheng Xuan's eyes, and he quickly regained his composure. He looked at Bai Xiaowu with an intriguing look in his eyes.Bai Xiaowu bowed and stepped out of the queue.
"Your Majesty, I am too young and have limited experience. The position of prime minister carries great responsibilities, and I am not yet capable of taking on this important responsibility."

What he meant was very clear. He couldn't say for sure in the future, not now.

Besides, he would sit on it based on his own abilities rather than accepting favors.

As expected of an old fox, he didn't forget to trick him once before leaving.

This old man knew that he could no longer change the status quo and showed favor to himself. If the officials asked him to eliminate the remnants of the Mu clan in the future, he would definitely be criticized.

Call him ungrateful and bite people when he turns around.

"Everyone knows that Bai Hanlin is the best among people, and the position of prime minister belongs to you."

The old man said and kowtowed to the officials again.

"The old minister's words come from the bottom of his heart. Please think carefully, Your Majesty."

"I know that Aiqing has worked hard for the court all her life and worked hard." Emperor Cheng Xuan raised his hand and asked him to stand up.

The old man stood up shakily, bowed, turned and walked out.

The afterglow of old age and the old figure make people sigh.

No matter how brilliant you have been, once you reach the end of your life, you cannot erase this desolation.

Emperor Cheng Xuan came to his senses and turned his attention to Xiao Wu again. The post of prime minister could not remain vacant for a long time, as it would easily cause turmoil in the court.

Everyone is focused on the position of prime minister, how can they still have time to deal with government affairs?

When Bai Yunxi learned about Old Man Mu's dirty tricks, the corner of his mouth twitched. It was obvious that the officials were afraid of the Mu family's greed for power, and if they wanted to take it back completely, they had to clear out the remaining forces of the Mu family.

Xiaowu is a proper scapegoat.

Fortunately, he was taking the blame for the officials, and the emperor understood his intentions, so there was no loss.

For a time, the atmosphere in the court was mysterious. Emperor Cheng Xuan persisted for half a month before issuing an imperial edict.

Xiaowu became the youngest prime minister in history.

The imperial edict has been promulgated, and he suddenly became a first-class official. The Bai family suddenly became a new noble in Kyoto.

For a time, there was no two in the limelight.

To this end, Baiyunxi directly held a family meeting to ask everyone to strictly discipline themselves and behave in a low-key manner.

Don't let others seize the opportunity to impeach you.Everyone in the house counts, no matter who makes a mistake, they will all be sent back to Liushuwan Shou's old home.

The heart that was originally agitated suddenly stopped. With Bai Anchen as an example, everyone knew the old lady's temper, and her own son could be sent home without blinking, let alone the others.

Even the wedding banquet for promotion was blocked by Bai Yunxi.Although people's joys and sorrows are different, she doesn't want people to take the initiative to compare.

How happy the Bai family is, how pitiful the Mu family is.

The whole of Kyoto was waiting for the Bai family's invitation, but there was no movement. Some people couldn't sit still and tried their best to inquire, only to find out that the Bai family had no plans to hold a wedding banquet.

For a moment, everyone was a little confused. How could they be able to survive after being upgraded two levels in a row?
Even Emperor Cheng Xuan curiously asked Xiao Wu why he didn't even hold a banquet after being promoted to prime minister?

The whole of Kyoto wants to take this opportunity to make good friends with the Bai family, and it is also a good opportunity for the Bai family to integrate into Kyoto. Why give up?

Xiao Wu bowed and replied,

"The officials are so kind to me, and I feel ashamed to receive it. I know my own weight in my heart, so I can only think about it with all my heart, and I don't dare to take it lightly."
