The coldness in her heart could not be covered by the fire. She suppressed the anger in her heart and lowered her head and said, "Abao understands!"
The life-and-death hatred is far more discouraging than this kind of conflict mixed with family affection and sorrow. It is like a dull knife cutting flesh, making it so painful that it is difficult to eat and sleep.
The eldest princess had a sore throat and choked with sobs. After a long while, she held Bai Qingyan in her arms with tears in her eyes. She closed her eyes and felt heartbroken. She felt that she was caught in a dilemma between home and country.
When she was young, the eldest princess also had a true love for the handsome general Bai Weiting who was good at conquering and fighting. However, on the eve of the marriage decree being sent to the Zhenguo Palace, her father, the emperor who loved her most, told her with red eyes that he allowed her to marry Bai Weiting, the prince of Zhongyong Hou.
, one is to fulfill her girlish feelings, and the other is to let her stare at Bai Weiting next to Bai Weiting's pillow. Her father gave the Zhenguo Duke's palace supreme military power, so someone needed to watch over the Zhenguo Duke on behalf of the Jin royal family.
The government cannot allow the Zhenguo government to support its troops and become rebellious.
Therefore, she married into the Zhongyong Hou Mansion and became the wife of the Bai family. In addition to providing heirs to the Bai family, she also had the mission of being the princess of the Jin Dynasty.
She was determined not to watch her beloved granddaughter, whom she devoted all her life to educating... her most beloved granddaughter, turn against.
Grandparents and grandson each had their own thoughts on the way back home, but in the end they didn't say another word.

Since the end of the palace banquet, all the talk in the streets and alleys of the metropolis, in teahouses and restaurants, was about the Bai family of the Zhenguo government. The group of dandies who were eating, drinking, having fun, and arrogantly and extravagantly also talked about the Bai family, and the discussion was boiling.
Even a dandy like Lu Yuanpeng, who only knows how to entertain cats and dogs, said, "The style of the Bai family should be followed by our example!"
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, wherever there are wars in the Jin Kingdom, there will be loyal and brave Bai family troops. To this day, it seems that the whole country of the Jin Dynasty has taken it for granted. They only feel that the Zhenguo Palace is a sword of the Jin Dynasty, and they are born to protect their families.
National loyalty and courage to sacrifice one's life.
But what the eldest daughter of the Bai family said in front of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, how she dealt with the concubine of the Duke's Mansion in front of the Manjiang Tower, and what she said at the state banquet in looking forward to the safe return of the son of the Bai family, made everyone realize that the Bai family
Sons and sons with the myth of being invincible are also made of flesh and blood... They are also raised by their mother and father, who are eager to return.
It was only for the sake of the Jin Kingdom and the people of the Jin Dynasty that they had to risk their lives and fight on the battlefield.
It was as if someone had lifted the veil overnight, allowing the world to see the loyalty and loyalty passed down from generation to generation by the Zhenguo Palace. They had a new understanding of the Zhenguo Palace and became more and more in awe.
The town government government purchased goods out of the government, but the shops in the city and the farmers outside the city all refused to charge the town government government a cent. Some farmers even delivered fresh fruits to the door of the government every day. The purchasing manager of the government asked Dong
The reply made Mr. Dong dumbfounded.
"Madam, now farmers and merchants are blocking the back door trying to deliver things to our house, what should we do?" Purchasing Manager Liu lowered his eyebrows and asked Dong for instructions.
After holding the teacup and thinking for a while, Mrs. Dong said: "Receive the things, give them money according to the market price, and tell them that since I, the Duke of Zhenguo, eat your majesty's salary and receive the tax and grain support of all the people, I am satisfied, and I must not take any more from the people!"
"
Mrs. Dong put down the tea cup, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Go and tell Butler Hao again and let him give the order... Our government officials must not take any extra cents from ordinary people and merchants when they go out of the government. If any violation is discovered,
I’ll beat him to death immediately without having to complain!”
Although the current reputation of Zhenguo Gongfu is like a blazing fire, if you make the slightest mistake, it will lay hidden dangers for the future. Dong has been in charge of Zhenguo Gongfu for many years, and he has a clear view of the stakes.

Mrs. Liu stared at the doctor as he changed the medicine on Bai Jinxiu's forehead. She was worried about the scars on her daughter's head in the future. She came out of Qingzhu Garden with red eyes. After walking a few steps, she saw Grandma Luo coming in a hurry with a happy face.
Aunt Luo bowed and said: "Second Madam, happy news! There are rumors outside early this morning that on the night after the Little Palace Banquet, Zhongyong Hou sent Mrs. Zhongyong Hou's wife Jiang to Jingxin Nunnery to practice cultivation!
I specially sent someone to inquire about it, and the news is conclusive! Our girls are no longer afraid of the control of our mother-in-law!"
The people who come and go to Jingxin Nunnery are all the women who have been tortured by their families. After they go there, they will never return home. There are many people who are tortured to death.
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu, the second wife, exclaimed with joy and sighed with emotion: "Mother Luo, please prepare a table. I will treat my sister-in-law to dinner this afternoon. Thank you very much for your help in recent days!"
At the banquet, Mrs. Liu, the second wife, said with a smile: "As long as I hear that Mr. Jiang is unlucky, my whole body feels as comfortable as if I drank a pot of hot wine, and I can eat five more bowls of rice!"
The fifth lady, Mrs. Qi, stroked her belly and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, why shouldn't you be thanking God? You should be thanking the eldest sister-in-law... If the eldest sister-in-law hadn't kindly eliminated the slave status of those five girls, how could the matter have been made troublesome?
How can you let the censor read a copy of Marquis Zhongyong, and how can you bring misfortune to the Jiang family?"
"Second sister-in-law must thank my eldest sister-in-law. Otherwise, do you think that second sister-in-law organized this table today just to invite us?! We... are just accompanying guests!" The third wife, Mrs. Li, covered her lips with a handkerchief.
laugh.
Mrs. Liu happily asked Aunt Luo to get a pot of wine, filled a glass and presented it to Mrs. Dong: "Whether it's the matter of my uncle moving out of the new mansion or the matter of the Jiang family, my sister-in-law really took the trouble!"
"What does one family say to two families?" Mrs. Dong drank the wine and happily took Mrs. Liu to sit down. "When Jinxiu is healed and injured in the new mansion, she will be the mistress of the house. She will no longer be afraid of being manipulated. You
You can feel at ease too.”
Liu's eyes turned red when she thought of Bai Jinxiu and nodded.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the majestic old house with blue bricks and green tiles is covered with goose feather-like snowflakes, creating a scene of its own.
Seeing the snow falling outside again, the fourth wife Wang looked out the window with red eyes and sighed: "I don't know how the children far away in southern Xinjiang are doing. Will they be able to come back for the Chinese New Year this year..."
"Since the Duke, the Crown Prince and their father are here, it doesn't matter! The young man should have a lot of experience before he can take on a big responsibility." Although Mr. Dong said this, he was still thinking about his biological son.

Although Prince Liang did not go to the Little Grand Palace banquet, Bai Qing's words spread the next day and the whole capital was in an uproar. How could he not know?
Seeing the growing reputation of Bai Mansion and Bai Qingyan, King Liang became panicked.
The Bai Mansion is now becoming more and more popular, and even his father has asked about the matter of the second daughter of the Bai family who was drowned as a dowry, and asked Marquis Zhongyong to deal with it.
It was widely spread outside that on the night when Marquis Zhongyong returned home, he sent someone to send Marquis Zhongyong’s wife, Mrs. Jiang, to Jingxin Nunnery to teach her to forgive her sins and pray for blessings.
I don’t know if his father would still dare to touch the Zhenguo Palace when the reports of the battle in southern Xinjiang came back and the sentiments of the people were in favor of the Bai family.
