Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly and said, "I'll take it to study. Don't worry, I won't go now."

However, if there is still no news from Chu Tianze after a while, she will still go. Ever since she learned about the past decades ago, she has no good feelings towards Wei Junyan. This time, Beiyan broke through two cities in a row, which is really a bit strange. The people of Beiyan are fierce, but Daxia is not that weak. If Wei Junyan is just incompetent, it's fine... I'm afraid he has other thoughts...

Zhao Sifang stared at her and said in a deep voice, "Just be aware of this. Don't try to show off. With so many troops in the King's army, nothing will happen to him. The worst result is just a defeat..."

Seeing Zhao Sifang's worried look, Bai Chuxiao said helplessly, "I know, don't worry."

Zhao Sifang snorted coldly. How could he be assured? Did he think that Xiaoxiao couldn't hear what he said? He knew Xiaoxiao's personality. She was stubborn.

Today, I was lucky enough not to run into Zhao Xiner. After returning to Qiuyuefang and changing back into women's clothes, Bai Chuxiao planned to go back and study the topographic map.

Who knew that as soon as he stepped into the mansion, he saw Bai Linan, Xie and a group of people standing there. Of course, there was also a person who surprised him, the loyal eunuch.

Seeing her coming back, Bai Linan looked unhappy and asked, "Where did you go? I couldn't find you for a long time."

Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "Just catching up with friends."

Jinzhong stepped forward quickly and said, "Since Miss Bai is back, please follow me. His Majesty has summoned you."

Bai Chuxiao was a little surprised, "Eunuch Jinzhong, do you know what His Majesty is talking about?"

Emperor Wenxuan was not concerned about the war, so why did he see her, a servant?

Jinzhong was actually confused, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood these days, maybe he just wants to chat with you, Miss Bai. Anyway, Miss, please follow me first, and you will know when you get there."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Grandpa Jinzhong."

Looking at their backs, everyone in the Bai Mansion had different expressions. Bai Linan looked a little confused. When did this eldest daughter catch the emperor's eye? And Bai Chuwan looked unwilling. How could Bai Chuxiao deserve to be summoned by the emperor?

Jinzhong led Bai Chuxiao to the imperial study and left, leaving Emperor Wenxuan alone in the palace, staring at a portrait in a trance.

Bai Chuxiao bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, your servant has greeted you."

Emperor Wenxuan turned his back to her and remained silent for a long time. After a while, he turned around and asked calmly, "Do you know who this is?"

Bai Chuxiao then looked up at the painting in front of her. It was a woman wearing white armor and holding a silver spear.

"Your Majesty, is this the late queen?"

Emperor Wenxuan nodded and asked in a deep voice, "I heard from Cheng Song that you went to the military camp."

Bai Chuxiao lowered her head and said slowly, "Your Majesty, it is true. I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, and with the guidance of my grandfather, I have some interest in these things, so I asked His Majesty the Prince of Yan to go and take a look."

She did not hide the fact that she knew martial arts. Since Emperor Wenxuan had summoned her to ask questions, he must have sent someone to investigate her experience. Being honest was the best option at this time.

Emperor Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought you would hide it."

Bai Chuxiao raised her head and chuckled, "The whole world belongs to the king. I don't think there is anything I can hide from your majesty."

Emperor Wenxuan looked puzzled. He had not taken this woman seriously at first. It was only after hearing Cheng Song's story that he became interested and sent people to investigate. He was also very surprised by the results. He knew that the woman who was captured by the flower thief some time ago was actually his sixth son. And the woman in front of him killed many people on the mountain with her sword...

He couldn't help but praise this courage and spirit in his heart. He used to think that the girl from the Liu family was smart, but now it seems that she is nothing compared to the woman in front of him. However, after this, he became dissatisfied with Lao Liu again. It's okay that the means were not fair, but even with such means, he still couldn't deal with the woman in front of him. She was really a waste...

Emperor Wenxuan turned back to look at the portrait and said calmly, "You do have some of A Zi's temperament."

"I dare not compare myself with the late queen."

"Back then, A Zi accompanied me to fight on the battlefield just like in the painting, and never retreated in every battle," Wen Xuan said to himself.

"Your Majesty, are you missing the late queen? Even if the late queen is still alive, she would definitely not want to see Your Majesty like this," Bai Chuxiao said nonchalantly. She actually didn't understand why he looked so longing for his old friend. Who would believe that what happened back then had nothing to do with this person? If that was the case, who was he showing this to?

Emperor Wenxuan shook his head, "I am sorry to Ah Zi..."

Bai Chuxiao listened attentively. Is His Majesty going to tell her the truth? But after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

She could only say calmly, "The dead are gone, I hope Your Majesty can relax."

Since ancient times, men have been fickle. When the person is gone, they become hypocritical. If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?

Emperor Wenxuan sighed inwardly, his eyes filled with sadness. After all, he was old and actually began to reminisce about the past...

But after a moment, he quietly put away the portrait and said, "Aren't you worried about Old Seven?"

"Your Majesty, I am naturally worried, but defending our country is a soldier's duty."

Emperor Wenxuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Okay, you can go down now."

Bai Chuxiao felt a little speechless. So, were they calling her here today just to reminisce about the old times? What a waste of her time. However, today she got to see what that legendary woman looked like. She had only heard of her deeds in the past, but seeing her portrait today, she was truly as good as a man. What a pity... This heroic woman who pacified the world with a spear and a horse was finally buried in the family of this ruthless emperor. I wonder if she had any regrets in her heart?

After walking a distance from the imperial study, I saw Bishui, the chief maid of Queen Li's palace, walking towards me.

"Greetings, Miss Bai. Does the Queen want to see you?"

Bai Chuxiao was feeling a little impatient. If it wasn't necessary, she really didn't want to come to the palace. The palace was full of so-called nobles. It would only take a word for them to see her. As a court lady, she didn't even have the power to refuse.

So he said calmly, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Bishui to lead the way."

When they arrived at Zhaofeng Palace, Empress Li sat at the first seat, and Liu Shuyao sat at the lower seat. The two of them were talking and laughing, and they did not look worried about the Crown Prince at all.

Bai Chuxiao sighed inwardly, her second sister should really come and learn. What's the use of just knowing some music, chess, calligraphy and painting? With her brain, she would be eaten alive if she married into the royal family. Fortunately, she had a father who was the left prime minister, otherwise she would not even know how she would die in the future.

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Crown Princess."

Queen Li had a dignified smile on her face. "Xiao Xiao, why are you so polite? Come and sit down. From now on, you and the Seventh Prince will call me mother."

"The Queen is generous, but etiquette cannot be abolished."

It is said that everyone wants to sit on this position. No matter whether the child is a biological one or not, according to the rules, everyone has to call her mother. Even if the son does not inherit the throne, the new emperor has to respect her as the empress dowager... Of course, this is only under ideal conditions.

Liu Shuyao chuckled, "Sister Bai is a person who knows the rules, so please don't tease her, mother."

"Okay, okay, Shuyao is right"
