Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 32 The Envoy Visits
"My sister has just entered the house and has not learned many rules in the house. I will have to worry about my mother in the future."

Even though Bai's net worth is not as good as that of Li Wanwan, she still knows some things. She learned some rules from Ye when she first came in, otherwise she would probably end up even worse than Li Wanwan.

"That's all! After being tortured like this by them, I have no appetite anymore. It's okay not to eat this meal!"

Mrs. Ye was so angry that she got up and left, leaving Mrs. Bai alone in the huge courtyard with a few maids waiting on the side.

Bai was sitting there alone, but she didn't feel lonely. She tasted every dish on the table, and returned to the pear garden with satisfaction after eating and drinking.

Because she didn't have her own yard, she used to live with Tang Zhili. Now Tang Zhili only wanted to live in Zhuyuan. She didn't want to continue living in Tang Zhili's study, so she moved in with Jun'er in Su Junxi. of pear orchard.

She sat by the window and blew in the wind, unaware of Yingshi approaching her.

Yingshi put the tea on the table with a look of disgust, and said in a bad tone: "It's windy this night, Aunt Bai, you'd better drink a cup of tea to warm yourself up and get some rest early!"

How could Bai not hear the disgust in Ying Shi's tone? If what she had done before happened to her, she would probably want to kill someone.

"You have to work with Ying Shi, girl." Bai Shi smiled at Ying Shi.

This smile scared Ying Shi's heart, and she continued: "Madam said, it will be difficult for you mother and son to see each other when Brother Jun'er goes out this time. If you want Brother Jun'er to learn something, don't Go disturb him, let alone cause trouble!”

Yingshi conveyed to Bai exactly what Su Junxi told her before leaving.

For the sake of Jun'er's future, Bai naturally listened to whatever Su Junxi said.

Seeing that Bai was distracted, Yingshi also retreated.

Western suburbs
In the middle of the night, it was raining heavily outside and the wind was raging.

The clanking sound kept Su Junxi awake at night. She was obviously very sleepy, but as soon as her eyelids closed, a sound would wake her up.

The five people in the Lu Mansion gathered together, dozing off each other and then being frightened awake one after another.

"Mom, why is this place so scary?" Jun'er was so frightened that she curled up in Su Junxi's arms.

This Lu Mansion has been in disrepair for a long time. On weekdays, it would be noisy on rainy nights. Tonight, it was hit by an unprecedented storm, and many places were blown away.

"Teacher, you haven't finished practicing yet." Su Junxi was also frightened, let alone the child.

Seeing the child from before hugging her knees tightly, her whole body trembling, for some reason, Su Junxi subconsciously held her in her arms.

After hearing this, Mr. Lu shook his head repeatedly and complained: "As a teacher, I have been wandering away all year round and cannot make ends meet. How can I rest and renovate the Lu Mansion? It would be... good... to have a shelter from the wind and rain..."

As soon as Mr. Lu finished speaking, the door of the lobby was opened by a gust of wind.

Everyone was so frightened that the two doors were crooked. They were afraid that the wind would blow over and hit them at any time. Everyone got up and prepared to move.

"Miss, why don't you go to a nearby inn and stay overnight!" Yan'er really couldn't stand it anymore, and the rain started to leak above her head.

"Let's go!" Su Junxi turned around and picked up the clothes on the hanger, holding the two children with her left and right hands, and rushed out of the lobby.

There was a strong wind outside, and many things were blown everywhere. If you were not careful, your head would be smashed.

Several people braved the rain and came to the nearest inn to rest for the night.

The next day
The rain was pouring down and the fog was rising.

Heavy rain washed away the entire palace. When the envoys from the Western Regions met Emperor Tianzhao, there was a dead silence in the court, as if the sound of a pin falling to the ground could be clearly caught. "Aledo, envoy of the Western Regions, meets Emperor Tianzhao!" Aledo put his right hand on his chest to show sincerity and respect.

"The envoy has come from afar, and I have already hosted a banquet. I will greet him in the palace tonight."

The tributes sent this time were very popular with the emperor. They were full of sincerity. As a king of a big country, how could he treat others badly?

Aledo nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I am here not only to deliver tribute to Emperor Tianzhao, but also to bring happy events."

"Oh? What a happy event is this?" The emperor looked expectant.

The ministers were also curious.

The envoy spoke unhurriedly: "Our country's Princess He Ning is about to get pregnant. In order to choose a suitable consort for the princess, Prince Jing Ge was specially sent to Tianzhao to find a suitable candidate for the princess."

After hearing this, the ministers below understood that the purpose of Xiyu's visit this time was to make peace. No wonder the tribute sent this time was so valuable.

Only then did the emperor understand what these people were planning. Could it be that they were here for the position of the crown princess?
But even if they came here for the position of Crown Princess, Princess He Ning was the youngest and the most favored princess in the Western Region. If offered to be the Crown Princess, she would be worthy of it.

"Since the prince is here to find a suitable consort for the princess, why is he not seen?"

The minister who was ready to move in the crowd asked questions.

If he is related to the Western Regions, his status in the court will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Several princes also had their own calculations in mind. The benefits of marrying a princess were much more cost-effective than marrying a minister's daughter.

The envoy replied: "It was the first time for the prince to visit your country. It was a rainy night. The prince was not accustomed to the environment in Tianzhao. He was infected with wind and cold yesterday. He was afraid of being disrespectful to Emperor Tianzhao, so he could not come to visit. Please also ask Emperor Tianzhao. Forgive me!"

This visitor was a guest. Besides, he was unable to come due to illness. The emperor could not blame him for this. He said, "I will send the imperial doctor to you soon. As for the princess's selection of her consort, what do you want the princess to ask for?"

"The prince means to wait until the princess arrives before making a decision." The envoy repeated the prince's words truthfully.

After hearing this, the emperor generally understood, and then ordered: "Any unmarried young man in Tianzhao will have the opportunity to become this consort!"

It seems like a fair competition opportunity, but who can be sure that people with no power and power will be qualified to participate?
The envoy would not take Emperor Tianzhao's words seriously. He just smiled and said, "Emperor Tianzhao attaches great importance to the princess. I will definitely be happy when the emperor knows about it! May the friendship between the two countries last forever!"

Yongning Palace

"Princess He Ning wants to choose a consort in Tianzhao?" The Queen slowly opened her eyes as if she saw hope.

"Back to the Empress, Prince Jingge has also come to Kyoto. I heard that he was infected with the wind and cold last night. Do you want to inform the princess to go and visit on behalf of the Empress?" Xiu Niang was squeezing the Empress' shoulders when she suddenly suggested.

After hearing this, the empress said with disgust: "Her bad things have already made the emperor angry. I can't afford to let her go to see Jing Ge and cause trouble!"

This child always disobeys her and insists on having her own way, and she is the one who spoiled her.

The embroiderer persuaded and said: "My servant heard that although Prince Jingge is not as favored as the little prince, he is the strongest among the many princes in the Western Region, and he also has the most followers!"

After hearing this, the Queen's eyes lit up and she ordered: "Prepare the sedan chair! Get out of the palace!"

"Yes, empress!" The embroiderer immediately helped the empress out of the palace and went to the princess's house for discussion.
