My eunuch An is a yandere

"Is this where my mother works?"

Wang Ling was looking around on the second floor of the bookstore. He took a look around and also attracted the attention of a dozen or so scholars who were working there.

Wang Ling covered her lips and smiled, her eyes full of contempt and pride.

But Bai Liangchuan, the boy she wanted to tease the most, was not romantic at all and could not understand the charm of women at all. He kept looking back for another shorter boy.

This made Wang Ling a little frustrated. He didn't understand what was so good about the dwarf. He seemed to be of good color, but he was wearing a strange mask, which obviously disfigured him. Could it be that this Mr. Bai was a good-looking man?

This made Wang Ling feel sick. Her husband was bisexual, and she found out about it. From then on, they went their separate ways.

Bai Liangchuan didn't understand why Wang Ling's expression suddenly changed, but as the woman left in a rage, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who is she? She seems fierce."

"The eldest princess's daughter probably has a crush on you, but I don't know why she's suddenly unhappy."

"Why does she like me?"

Bai Liangchuan was defeated. He was a man and he didn't want to be noticed by women.

"How would I know? If you're worried, just ask the Queen to grant you a marriage."

In fact, Bai Liangchuan's trip to Beijing this time, in addition to accepting the house and expressing his gratitude to the emperor, was also for something else, which was his marriage.

Speaking of his marriage, the question arose as to why Bai Ningwei entered the palace.

It was because that year, Bai Liangchuan was old enough to get married.

Although Bai's father was an official, his position was not high, and the marriage he proposed was one between people of equal social status.

When the process should have been continued happily, the girl's parents took advantage of a higher branch and quietly arranged the marriage.

It is normal for a family to have a daughter that is sought after by hundreds of families. However, the girl and Gao Zhi had been arguing with each other for a long time and had not let go of the Bai family, which made Bai Liangchuan's heart flutter.

In the end, the Bai family's marriage didn't work out, and they became a local joke. Furious, and with the draft just around the corner, to prove himself, Bai's father used his connections to get Bai Ningwei's name on the list.

In her previous life, Bai Ningwei didn't get promoted so quickly, and Bai Liangchuan also waited until this age to get re-engaged and married in his hometown.

The days went by so smoothly, but later, as she became the Queen Mother and ruled the country from behind the curtain, Bai Liangchuan's life became difficult.

Bai Liangchuan's personality suits him to be a rich and idle person, but his wife's family is ambitious. The two have different ideas and often quarrel, not to mention how many troubles they have caused that the Bai family has to clean up after.

So in this life, after she was promoted to the position of concubine, she sent a letter early, asking Bai Liang to come to the capital to arrange the marriage, and she wanted to personally oversee it.

Bai Liangchuan also wanted to get married, but he was not sure what kind of woman he wanted to be his wife.

He thought that the other person must be a gentle and beautiful girl who would be kind to him and would accompany him to eat delicious food.

"Don't worry about the wedding first, do you want to eat the pot today?"

Bai Liangchuan shook his head and cleared his mind of all thoughts. It would be most economical to deal with the frozen mutton first.

"Eat it. It's so cold, eating hot pot is the warmest thing."

Chen Xu sighed, rubbed his hands, and let Bai Liangchuan eat what he wanted. Although his boss didn't have many good qualities, he made people feel warm and relaxed. He was a very easy person to get along with.

After a few months, the two had already become good friends. Since her friend was a good eater, she naturally would not be in a cold mood.

Although the bookstore's current income is very average, it can still be maintained if he eats a few more hot pot meals.

After all, Bai Liang could pass messages to her, and she was in charge of the money in the store, so she still saved some money for emergencies.

"I knew you would agree."

Bai Liangchuan patted Chen Xu's shoulder with his big hand, feeling quite happy as if he had found a confidant.

In Lingqi Palace, Bai Ningwei received letters from Chen Xu and her elder brother. After seeing Wang Ling's interest in her elder brother, she knew that her elder brother's marriage could not be delayed.

But she didn't have a good candidate for the time being.

She was trapped in the deep palace, with few people who knew her well. She didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, so she just wanted to find a wife who was not ambitious and was willing to live a stable life with her brother.

Just as she was thinking about waiting until spring and finding an excuse to organize a banquet so that Bai Liangchuan could meet her, a long and heavy snow arrived as expected.

There was also such a heavy snowfall in my previous life. It lasted for more than half a month, and there were hundreds of snowfalls, big and small.

The accumulated snow not only collapsed many houses, but also caused many people to freeze to death due to the low temperatures. The area outside Kyoto was crowded with refugees.

The roads were difficult to travel on and refugees were causing chaos, which not only caused prices in Kyoto to soar, but also caused a shortage of many supplies.

Those days seemed like we were trapped in a vicious cycle, with people dying, dying, and dying again.

However, the palace was filled with joy and preparations for the New Year.

At that time, Bai Ningwei had just risen to prominence in the harem, and her connections were focused on advancing her status. Naturally, she had no idea what kind of hell was going on outside the palace, and only heard a few glimpses afterward.

Now, Xiao Yuan'er came to her and said that the charcoal consumption in the palace was too great this year, which reminded her of some things.

"Mother Hui, it seems to be exceptionally cold this year, and the palaces are all complaining about a shortage of charcoal. I've calculated the palace's charcoal reserves, and it seems to be quite tight."

Bai Ningwei looked at the heavy snow outside the window. Although it had only been snowing for one day, the snow on the roof was already twenty centimeters thick, and the eunuchs from various palaces were already busy clearing the snow.

She vaguely remembered that there was a snowstorm in her previous life, and many people died. It might have been this year.

"Have you asked the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"I've asked. The eunuch in charge said that there's a fixed amount of charcoal each year. If there's any extra demand, we can just allocate money to buy more. But since we didn't prepare it in advance, the charcoal might not be delivered in time."

Bai Ningwei looked at the snow on the ground and knew that the roads outside must be difficult to travel on and transportation would be inconvenient.

"The palace isn't the hardest. If everyone saves some money, we can get through it. The hardest part is outside the palace."

"Is Concubine Hui worried about the people outside?"

"Yeah. We're all feeling the cold, and the common people don't know how to survive. After the New Year, it's time for you to get married, and then you'll be living outside the palace. It won't hurt to learn a little about people's livelihood."

Xiao Yuan'er listened carefully. Although Bai Ningwei rarely preached to her, what she said every time was extremely important.

"So, what does Concubine Hui want to do?"

Xiao Yuan'er didn't quite understand. Aren't matters like these concerning the people's livelihood her father's job? What could a woman do? Furthermore, the harem couldn't interfere in government affairs; this was the ancestral precept. Could Consort Hui's mother really go beyond this ancestral rule?

"That's not what I'm going to do."

Bai Ningwei smiled mysteriously, and she lightly tapped the tip of Xiao Yuaner's nose with one finger.

"It's what we have to do."

Bai Ningwei would never let herself be the first to stand out. In this patriarchal society with strict hierarchy, if she wanted to do something, she would naturally drag everyone along with her.

And the more people there are, the more obvious the effect will be.
