The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky
Chapter 10: King Yan Gives Gifts
In the Prince of Yan's Mansion, Chu Tianze, dressed in black, was practicing swordplay in a huge martial arts training ground.
"Tianze, I heard you are going to the Spring Banquet tomorrow," Yu Fengyang, dressed in a white brocade robe, walked over hurriedly and asked with a smile.
Seeing him coming, Chu Tianze handed the sword to Mo Wen who was standing beside him, glanced at him, and said coldly, "Why, can't I go?"
"Your Highness is a man of outstanding demeanor, and is a master of both civil and military affairs. If he goes there, all the famous ladies in the capital will surely be unable to take their eyes off him," Yu Fengyang was flattering him.
Chu Tianze ignored his nonsense. With his brothers of prominent families in front of him, how could the young ladies in Beijing look down on him?
At this time, Mo Yan came over holding a large brocade box and bowed, "Your Highness, everything is ready. Do you want to send it now?"
Yu Fengyang was puzzled, "What is this? Who is it for?" Then he went up and opened the top cover, "Clothes, women's." Yu Fengyang's eyes widened.
Chu Tianze ignored him and just ordered, "Mo Yan, send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion to give it to the eldest lady of the Bai family."
Yu Fengyang winked at Chu Tianze, "Tianze, why don't you tell the truth..."
In the study room of Liuli Courtyard, Bai Chuxiao was holding a military book and reading it with great interest. Lan Xiang suddenly pushed the door open and came in to report, "Miss, someone from Prince Yan's Mansion came and said they came to deliver something to you. They are waiting outside the courtyard. Miss, can you see them?"
Bai Chuxiao put down the book and asked in confusion, "Oh? I have never met the King of Yan before, why would he send something? Bring the person over here."
Mo Yan walked in with the brocade box and knelt respectfully in front of Bai Chuxiao. "I am Mo Yan, honored to meet you, young lady."
Bai Chuxiao looked at the two people on the ground. Mo Yan had a round face and looked a little silly. "Get up."
Mo Yan stood up and looked at the book the woman in front of him was holding. He was surprised. Isn't this a military book? Miss Bai also likes these. No wonder the master likes them. Then he became more respectful. "I heard that Miss will also attend the banquet tomorrow. The prince was afraid that Miss would not have time to prepare after just returning to Beijing, so he asked his subordinates to buy some for Miss in advance."
Bai Chuxiao motioned for Lanxiang to take the brocade box that Mo Yan handed over, and asked calmly, "Then thank your prince for me. Can your prince go tomorrow?"
Mo Yan laughed and said, "If the young lady goes, the prince will have to go too."
Bai Chuxiao was suspicious. What on earth was the King of Yan saying? Wasn't it rumored that he was dissatisfied with her? But she didn't ask any more questions now. She would see him tomorrow anyway. She would talk about it then.
After a while, Bai Chuyun heard the news and rushed over. She said with a smile, "Show Yuner what the King of Yan sent."
Bai Chuxiao then opened the top layer, revealing a jadeite Yanluo Liuxian skirt and a green jade-patterned blouse, both made of excellent material.
The lower layer is filled with jewelry, including two jade hairpins and two gold-threaded and kingfisher lotus hairpins.
"So beautiful," Bai Chuyun's eyes showed a bit of envy.
Qingzhu also said happily, "King Yan is really thoughtful."
Lan Xiang also agreed, "Yes, the King of Yan is really good at picking things."
Bai Chuxiao smiled a little, but still felt very strange. The King of Yan could have such thoughts, which was inconsistent with the rumors.
In Zhaofeng Palace, Empress Li, dressed in a phoenix robe, sat on the main seat, smiling at the crown prince who was sitting below her, and asked, "Tianyou, what do you think about marriage? Why don't you settle it with Miss Bai as soon as possible?"
He snorted again, "It's not enough that Wei Mingyue's mother's family has military power, they also want to let the sixth child get close to the Bai family. If she first persuades your father to marry the young lady of the Bai family, then the sixth child will have both civil and military power in his hands in the future. How can you still suppress him?"
Chu Tianyou also pondered silently, "Now the emperor has just granted the marriage between the seventh brother and the eldest daughter of the Bai family. Now he is going to ask for the daughter of the Bai family. I wonder if the emperor will feel..."
Queen Li was a little annoyed. "It's also my fault that I didn't check it for a while. Concubine Jing usually kept quiet, but she took advantage of the seventh son's victory to ask your father to get engaged to the Bai family. Your father actually agreed. Now I don't understand your father any more."
Chu Tianyou was also a little annoyed. "What on earth is father thinking? I am a legitimate son and have not made any major mistakes over the years, but he still supports the fifth and sixth sons to fight against me, and always avoids talking about my marriage. Mother, is father dissatisfied with me being the crown prince? Will he..."
Queen Li looked around the hall and saw that there was no one else. Fortunately, she had dismissed her attendants long ago. Then she looked at the prince and shouted, "Shut up and stop talking nonsense. Your father conquered the world on horseback and is suspicious by nature. The fifth and sixth sons' maternal families are powerful, and your father must be wary of them. On the contrary, my Li family now has the title of Duke but no real power, so your father can rest assured. He supports the fifth and sixth sons only to hone you, and to make the two families fight each other to maintain the balance."
Empress Li was able to ascend the throne after the death of the previous empress and have her son made the crown prince. This naturally showed that she had some real skills and had a good grasp of the emperor's heart.
He also said, "Just do your job well, and the position of the crown prince will be secure."
Chu Tianyou was relieved after hearing what his mother said. "But mother, we still have to be on guard against the fifth and sixth sons. The old fox Zuo Xiang has been watching us fight all these years and has never expressed his opinion. I still need you to worry about the marriage with the Bai family."
Queen Li smiled and said, "Your mother will take care of your father's side. As for the Bai family, you should spend more time on the second Miss Bai. If it doesn't work, the rice has been cooked and the left prime minister can't say anything more."
After a pause, he continued, "If you marry the second young lady of the Bai family, not only will you have the support of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, but you will also be able to get closer to the seventh son. Will you still be afraid that you will not be able to control the fourth and sixth sons? If you think about it this way, Lady Jing has done a good thing."
Chu Tianyou also chuckled, "What the Queen Mother said is very true. It seems that my son really cares about the Second Miss Bai. The Seventh Miss is a blockhead. She has not been close to us for so many years. If we marry into the Bai family, we will be closer at least."
Queen Li said carefully, "Tomorrow is the Spring Banquet. This is a good opportunity. I heard that Miss Bai is not very talented or pretty. You can take care of her and give face to the Seventh Prince. Of course, the most important thing is to take care of the Second Miss Bai."
Chu Tianyou frowned and said hesitantly, "Mother, I heard that Miss Bai and Miss Bai's mother are not on good terms. Miss Bai was stopped from returning home, which caused a lot of rumors in Kyoto. I'm afraid Miss Bai will not be willing to get close to us in the future."
Queen Li waved her hands and said nonchalantly, "Even if Miss Bai marries the Seventh Prince, she can only rely on the Left Prime Minister in the future. You are the Crown Prince, so if she is not stupid, she will not be ungrateful. As for her grievances with Miss Bai and her mother, they are just minor quarrels."
