Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 599

Chapter 599: Chapter 596: Wish Fulfilled Part 1

"Eldest Young Lady, please hand Wang Geer to the wet nurse..." Nanny Jiang said softly. "Dinner is ready."

Bai Qingyan nodded, carefully handing the chubby Wang Geer to the wet nurse. She then rose to help the Eldest Princess, who was just about to get up from the soft couch. Slowly, they emerged from behind the hanging curtains and sat at the round table in the outer room, where a sumptuous meal was laid out.

Tonight’s dinner had been arranged by Mrs. Liu, and almost all the dishes were Bai Qingyan’s favorites. Mrs. Liu smiled and urged Bai Qingyan to eat more.

Mrs. Liu changed to a new pair of chopsticks and personally picked up some fish for Bai Qingyan. "This was sent by Jinxiu’s uncle. They caught it by the sea and delivered it here without stopping. Out of over a hundred, only about seventeen or eighteen made it to Dadu. It’s very precious and tastes exceptionally fresh. Kid, try it!"

Bai Qingyan took a bite and found it indeed very tender. She smiled and said, "Yes, it is very delicate."

"Then have some more!" Mrs. Liu busily picked up more food for Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan had just responded when someone at the door reported that Quan Yu, the eunuch from the Crown Prince’s side, had arrived, saying that the Crown Prince had sent him to deliver a message.

Bai Qingyan put down her chopsticks, rinsed her mouth with honey water, and wiped her lips with a handkerchief handed by Chun Tao. She said, "Grandmother, Second Aunt, you go ahead and eat. I’ll be right back!"

She guessed that the Crown Prince, Master Tan, and the Minister of War had come to a conclusion and specifically sent Quan Yu to inform her.

Bai Jinse raised her head to watch Bai Qingyan’s departing figure, feeling that her elder sister was too exhausted. Her elder sister’s eyes were full of red veins, clearly showing that she had not rested well. She ate a mouthful of food forcefully, wishing to grow up quickly to help share the burden.

Quan Yu was invited to drink tea with the Princess of Zhen. Seeing Bai Qingyan arrive, he quickly stood and saluted, "Greetings to the Princess of Zhen."

"Please sit, Eunuch. What does His Highness the Crown Prince instruct?" Bai Qingyan asked knowingly.

"It is nothing major. His Highness the Crown Prince sent this servant to inform the Princess of Zhen that Master Tan and Vice Minister Shen have decided they cannot allow Yan and Beirong to unite and destroy Nanrong. They have already dispatched Minister Liu to Beirong!" Quan Yu spoke while following Bai Qingyan, who was moving toward the main seat. "Also, a military order has been issued for Governor Dong to take the Anping Camp and Dengzhou Army to the Beirong border to deter Yan and Beirong."

As expected, Bai Qingyan’s prediction was right. Master Tan and Vice Minister Shen Jingzhong indeed had foresight.

Seeing Bai Qingyan sit down, Quan Yu took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve, placed it on the redwood table beside Bai Qingyan, and respectfully stepped back a few steps, saying, "This is royal ointment, known to be miraculous for new scars. The Princess might want to try it!"

Quan Yu still remembered Bai Qingyan’s ear injury. Upon returning to Dadu City today, he went to great lengths to procure this rare ointment, known to be in possession of only the Empress, Consort Yu, and the most favored Lady Qiu.

Bai Qingyan smiled and said, "Thank you, Eunuch, for conveying my gratitude to His Highness the Crown Prince. This minor injury shouldn’t trouble His Highness."

Quan Yu did not explain that it was not a reward from the Crown Prince but merely smiled and acknowledged it.

Bai Qingyan picked up the white jade bottle decorated with red plum blossoms that Quan Yu had placed on the table and seemingly unintentionally said, "Today, Madam Fu came to my residence and mentioned a matter that the Crown Prince is investigating. Later, I sent Madam Dong to seek out the Crown Prince, but forgot to send someone to inform the Crown Prince beforehand. I wonder if His Highness has seen Madam Fu?"

Seeing Bai Jinxiu and her family of three off, Bai Qingyan helped the Eldest Princess back to the main room, accompanied her in conversation for a while, and initially intended to attend to the Eldest Princess’s rest. The Eldest Princess, feeling compassion for Bai Qingyan, who had been busy all day without rest, urged her to retire early. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
