The eldest princess walked out surrounded by her daughters-in-law, and was also surprised by the bright lights flying high in the sky.
The young fifth and sixth girls leaned against the Grand Duke, pointed to the bright light in the sky and asked: "Grandma, what is that?!"
"Back to the eldest princess, fifth girl!" the old woman in the courtyard replied with a smile, "That is a beacon that the people put out spontaneously to pray for our Bai family army."
The eldest princess felt all kinds of emotions in her heart, and she even swallowed: "Most of the people, don't forget me, the Bai Family Army..."
Seeing the eldest princess standing in the corridor, the four sisters Bai Qingyan bowed and accompanied the eldest princess to look at the bright lights in the sky.
When the light went out and Bai Qingyan was about to help the eldest princess return to the house, Lu Ping hurried in with the woman who was guarding the hanging flower door.
Seeing that all the masters were in the courtyard, Lu Ping stepped forward and saluted: "Princess, ladies and gentlemen, news has arrived that the south city gate has been knocked open, and the messenger with the command arrow on his back is galloping straight to the palace!"
The command arrow on the back is a military report. Enter from the south city gate... from southern Xinjiang.
It is not a good sign to rush straight to the palace without reporting when entering the city gate.
Bai Qingyan's scalp felt numb, and the nerves of the entire Zhenguo Palace were tense.
What is supposed to come, will always come.
She squeezed the eldest princess's hand tightly, turned to look at the eldest princess, whose back was stiff, and said: "Grandma, it's time to see you, mother, and all the aunts..."
As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, several aunts couldn't hold back their tears and the fifth aunt, who had a bulging belly, tightly held the handkerchief and her legs became weak.
The eldest princess' breathing was erratic for a moment but she finally stabilized. She held the tiger stick tightly in her hands and straightened her spine: "What is supposed to come will always come. Let's go! Let's wait for the news at the door!"
Led by the eldest princess, she led all the female relatives of the Bai family all the way to the gate of the Duke's Mansion.
Many people with lanterns and umbrellas had gathered outside the Duke's Mansion. They heard that the military messenger with an order arrow on his back rode straight to the palace without shouting a good news along the way, so they came to the front of the Duke's Mansion in the snow to wait.
Messages were passed around the palace and greetings were exchanged in private.
"Second uncle! Why are you here in such a cold weather..."
"I heard that a military report had returned. I didn't hear the messenger's report, so I rushed to the Duke's Mansion to wait for the news. Why are you here too?!"
"I also heard that the military messenger went straight to the palace, fearing that there would be some bad news waiting to be heard!"
"What a coincidence! I also came here after hearing the news. It's not a good thing not to report the messenger when he enters the city gate! I just ask God to open his eyes and don't let anything happen to the Duke of Guo and Baifu Erlang!"
Suddenly, the red door of Zhenguo Palace, hung with a row of red lights, slowly opened, and the eldest princess and her female family members, protected by the guards of the Bai family, came out in person to wait for news.
"Hey! The door of the Duke's mansion is open!"
"The Duke's Mansion has also come out to wait for news!"
"Tiger-headed stick! Isn't that the eldest princess?!"
The people hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The eldest princess..."
The eldest princess felt sad when she thought of the bright lights that filled the sky just now. She handed the tiger-headed staff to Aunt Jiang and led the female members of the Bai family to bow to the people.
Standing up straight, Bai Qingyan saw Chen Qingsheng standing among the people and nodding to her to indicate that everything was done. She nodded slightly.
"Housekeeper Hao!" Mrs. Dong turned around and ordered the housekeeper, "Let the kitchen prepare hot soup meat cakes and share them with everyone! I don't know how long it will take for the news from the palace to be sent out. On New Year's Eve, everyone will stay here with us. Don't worry.
It’s freezing!”
"It's Madam!" Butler Hao hurriedly turned around and went back to his house, ordering people to prepare.
After a while, they saw two flying horses coming towards the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. Everyone became concerned, but they saw that it was Bai Qingyan's two uncles, Dong Qingping and Dong Qingyue, who dismounted.
Dong Qingping handed over the flattery reins to the servants of the Duke's Mansion and glanced at the people standing at the door. Dong Qingping and Dong Qingyue stepped onto the steps of the Duke's Mansion and saluted the eldest princess.
"Brother, Qingyue, why are you here?!" Dong's eyes turned red.
"I just received news that the messenger of the arrow knocked on the south city gate and entered without reporting the battle situation. My mother is worried about letting my brother and I come over to take a look!" Dong Qingping held the riding whip in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were full as he spoke.
Bai Qingyan felt hot in his heart and bowed respectfully to his two uncles.
Dong Qingping smiled at Bai Qingyan and stood aside with the female members of the Bai family waiting for news.
Dong Qingyue walked up to Bai Qingyan, raised his hand and touched the top of Bai Qingyan's hair: "Don't worry, your father and brother will be fine!"
Bai Qingyan nodded.
In less than half a cup of tea, Qin Lang also came on horseback. After bowing respectfully to the elders, he walked to Bai Jinxiu and supported her. He looked at Bai Jinxiu's red eyes and comforted her softly.
On New Year's Eve, the long street with red lights should be deserted, and everyone should gather at home to watch the New Year's Eve.
But in front of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, from time to time, people would come after hearing the news, or children from aristocratic families would inquire about the news for their grandfather or father. When Prince Dingyong came to the gate of the Baifu, he really didn't expect that Zhenguo
There are so many people standing at the gate of the palace...
Not long after, Ming Dabo's third son also arrived.
Bai Qingyan looked at these aristocratic families coming in the snow, and at the people all over the city standing with them in the wind and snow. She knew... what she could do to protect the Bai family and force the current situation... has come.
Got it!
Through the window on the second floor of Tianxiang Building, Xiao Rongyan stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the Zhenguo Palace among the lights at the end of the long street. From time to time, people in twos and threes would pass by with lanterns downstairs, or horses galloping straight towards the Zhenguo Palace.
He was holding the jade cicada in his hand with a deep look on his face.
Xiao Rongyan never believed in anything that was so popular and popular. If someone hadn't worked hard and planned it out, how could the Bai family be so powerful and popular?
The current situation in the Bai family that is popular among the people seems to have been created by Miss Bai.
Ever since Bai Qing persuaded Qin Lang to ask for the throne, Xiao Rongyan knew that this Miss Bai was someone who would achieve great things.
It's just a pity that all the Bai family members... were killed in southern Xinjiang by this stupid king and incompetent prince of the Jin Dynasty. If the Yan Dynasty could have such loyal and brave people as the Bai family for generations, why worry about not prospering? What a pity.
…
"Master, this subordinate is incompetent. The deadline given by the master has expired, but the source of the information is only a rough estimate!"
Xiao Rongyan did not turn around when he heard the voice: "Say..."
"The beggar who delivered the letter to the housekeeper said that he did not know the person who asked him to deliver the letter, but he had seen the shopkeeper of Manjiang Tower greeting that person from a distance. It seemed that he was an acquaintance. The subordinate went to ask the shopkeeper of Manjiang Tower, and the shopkeeper's eyes flashed.
He said that he didn't know who his subordinates were talking about. Later, he sent someone to guard Manjiang Tower. This afternoon, he met the shopkeeper of Manjiang Tower and the same person mentioned this matter in a mysterious way, asking him to be more careful.
I asked the waiter at the store, and the waiter said that the person was from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. I don't know if that person is in charge, but I only know that he works for the eldest girl of the Bai family."
