“What’s wrong with sending Ning’er for a marriage alliance with Daqing?”
Noble Consort An was speechless for a moment, but Emperor Wu Xuan had already closed his eyes and was sound asleep.
Even if one casually asked someone who understood the current situation of the few countries, they would know how warlike Emperor Wu Xuan was. The reason why the Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor had become a behemoth in the capital was because the Emperor thought highly of it. It was because Bai Tanshen had never lost in battle!
The Eldest Princess who Empress Li had given birth to was sent to make peace with a marriage alliance. In just a few years, Emperor Wu Xuan ordered the soldiers of the Great Kui to break through the city. In three months, he had broken through more than ten cities.
Since then, there had been no more news from Lee Chang An… but Emperor Wu Xuan was not affected at all.
If Ning’er were to marry over, she would definitely end up in the same fate!
Although the man beside her doted on her, he was also really cold-blooded!
Noble Consort An was filled with worry, and she suddenly thought of Bai Xianyu, who had danced gracefully at the birthday banquet that day.
If the person that the prince of Daqing liked was Bai Xianyu, with her good background, it should be possible for her to be conferred the title of a princess and marry into Daqing! There were precedents in the previous dynasty!
If Bai Xianyu was there, that Second Prince of Daqing probably wouldn’t have taken a fancy to Ning’er.
Noble Consort An secretly made up her mind to make the Emperor agree to let Bai Xianyu go on a trip with them before the diplomatic mission arrived!
Ever since she agreed to Xie Xingyun’s request that day, every time Xie Xingyun left the Hanlin Academy, he would take a long detour to the Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor.
However, it was also very low-key and he would not use the main door. Xiao Zheng was also on the other side of the wall.
Every time he came, Bai Li’s expression would be quite ugly. However, Xie Xingyun knew his limits and would not do anything overboard. He would just buy food for Bai Xianyu.
On this day, the bell on the eaves rang gently. Bai Xianyu had just finished embroidering a Flametail Fish, but before she could put down the needle, a string of fiery red candied hawthorns was sent to her.
Bai Xianyu’s eyes lit up, but then she thought of something and immediately looked up. When she saw who it was, she said without any surprise,”… It’s you again.”
Xie Xingyun was holding candied hawthorns in his hand. He was wearing court clothing and had a tourmaline jade pendant at his waist. He lowered his body and looked at her with a deep gaze. “Are you tired?”
Bai Xianyu looked at the sweat on his forehead and swallowed the words “I think you’re more tired than me” that she was about to blurt out. If she said that, Xie Xingyun would misunderstand that she was concerned about him.
“I’m fine.” She lowered her head and continued to tidy her needle and thread.
Xie Xingyun looked at the little head of the girl in front of him and had the urge to rub it. However, he resisted it and squatted down in front of her again. He supported his chin and chuckled. “Little Yu, I’ve ridden for three streets. At least take a bite.”
Bai Xianyu did not look up. “I don’t want to eat.”
Xie Xingyun stared at her eyelashes and a trace of mischief flashed across his eyes. “Then which young lady’s eyes lit up just now?”
Bai Xianyu said self-righteously, “You saw wrongly.”
“Oh.” Xie Xingyun smiled and raised his eyebrows. “Are you really not eating?”
Bai Xianyu took the red thread and set it up. She said decisively, “No.”
Xie Xingyun’s eyes darkened slightly, but he quickly returned to normal and asked, “Then I’ll bring you some pastries from the West Alley Moon House tomorrow?”
Bai Xianyu was busy threading the needle and frowned slightly. “I’ll buy it myself if I want to eat it.”
“Are you angry?”
Xie Xingyun placed the candied hawthorns on the table, his eyelids lifting slightly to look at her expression with uncertainty.
Bai Xianyu raised her head to look at him and said in an inexplicable tone, “Why would I be angry?”
She was not the one who was rejected. Why would she be angry?
Seeing that there was no impatience on her face, Xie Xingyun could not help but feel a little happy.
He did not understand a girl’s thoughts, nor was he good at courting someone.
However, he could not guess what she was thinking. He could only guess a little by observing her expression.
Directly asking her saved him some misunderstandings.
“As long as you’re not angry.” Xie Xingyun smiled lazily.
He was about to leave after saying that, but Bai Xianyu stopped him and put down the needle in her hand. “Wait, take your candied hawthorns away, and that pile over there.”
Following her finger, she saw that there were already many things placed in the pavilion at the side. There were pastries, shortcakes, and many hairpins.
Xie Xingyun was not surprised at all. His thin lips curled up slightly. “What 1 gave you is yours. Do whatever you want.”
“But…”
However, the man had already skillfully scaled the wall and left. His actions were smooth and even a little familiar.
Bai Li jumped down from the tree and said, “Miss, this Young Marquis is too inattentive in wooing Miss. At the very least, he should give her some good food. Does the Marquis Manor not have delicacies?”
Bai Xianyu thought to herself, “How is he inattentive? He has already paid too much attention, making me really curious. Xie Xingyun looks extremely indifferent, as if nothing can be remembered by him, but how can he… accurately remember what she likes?
Although there were many items, they were all her favorites..
