Chapter 51: In Contest, Every One Had Their Own Thoughts

"Ye Zhaojue will be back tomorrow. Are you ready? He cares about his only niece a lot!" Nalan Youhong looked at Jun Yeyan banteringly.

Jun Yeyan listened to Nalan Youhong’s words while he did not care: "His Majesty’s order cannot be violated. He knows this truth."

Looking at Jun Yeyan who seemed to care about nothing now, Nalan Youhong slightly frowned. His mood was variable like he used to be, making it difficult for people to get along with.

"That’s not what I’m talking about. I mean he will definitely come to find you! His treasure is going to marry you. Do you think he can be calm?" Nalan Youhong was exasperated at Jun Yeyan’s understanding, while there was still a tone of gloat which was difficult to cover up.

Jun Yeyan’s eyes slightly narrowed. He then got a glimpse of Nalan Youhong: "I could always find a hint of gloat in your words."

"It seems that you are too idle, so you enjoy poking your nose into other people's business. The stronghold of Mobei probably has some problems. If you are so smart, you can take a look at it." Jun Yeyan looked at the stunned Nalan Youhong and said.

Nalan Youhong did not think that Jun Yeyan would be so cruel to let him go to Mobei. Everyone knew that Mobei, which was located in plateau area, was perennial drought. Letting him go to Mobei was more uncomfortable for him than killing him.

"You got it wrong. I didn’t gloat. I am worried about you. As for Mobei, you could just send someone else to. Anyway, it is not a big deal. You don't need to send elite to there like me." Nalan Youhong said in a hurry.

He almost hugged the thigh of Jun Yeyan.

Jun Yeyan looked at Nalan Youhong who was flattering: "It’s not exactly a small issue. If it weren’t for the fact that you need to attend the banquet tomorrow, you are going to Mobei."

After listening to that, Nalan Youhong’s hanging heart calmed down. He laughed and said: "I know that you can't let me go. Once I go to Mobei, this fine appearance of me will disappear."

After saying that, he narcissistically swayed his arm in front of Jun Yeyan to show that his skin was really fine and tender.

"You should go to prepare. When Ye Zhaojue come back tomorrow, that person will lead all the officials to greet him. According to the latest news, there will be a team of people of Mobei who come here to asking for uniting by marriage." Jun Yeyan said faintly.

"A Marriage? It seems that Mobei really intends to surrender since they’re going to asking for marriage!" Nalan Youhong still felt it incredible.

The people of Mobei were quite united. Although their population was not as enormous as Chengxi and Nanyue, they were all brave and good at war, which was one of the reasons why Mobei could compete with Chengxi for so many years.

Today, Mobei really intended to surrender. Ye Zhaojue inevitably played a big role in it.

"He clearly knows that Ye Zhaojue would back up Bai Aoxue, but he still granted Bai Aoxue to you. Didn't he consider the potential danger if Bai Aoxue really likes you? I don't believe that this bastard emperor will be so stupid.” Nalan Youhong said inexplicably.

"He certainly thought about it, but he is too confident. He thinks that Bai Aoxue wouldn’t betray him. This is nothing more than trying to test Bai Aoxue and me." Jun Yeyan said so. His eyes were dark.

Nalan Youhong listened to the words of Jun Yeyan and could not help sighing: "He lost the advantage at the beginning of this gambling game. You’re really wise, but it’s all because Bai Aoxue is out of the ordinary this time!"

Jun Yeyan didn’t deny the words of Nalan Youhong. At the beginning, if Bai Aoxue was really like the rumor said, perhaps she would really become a sword in the hand of Jun Wuhen.

However, Bai Aoxue has unexpectedly changed which has caused everyone to be in a mess, which was something that everyone has not expected, but it was also the most exciting part.

There was no contest between him and Jun Wuhen since he was just waiting for an opportunity. Bai Aoxue's intervention also made this game more wonderful. In this case, it wouldn’t cost him anything to play a game with Jun Wuhen!

"It’s time to meet Ye Zhaojue." Looking at the morning glow, Jun Yeyan faintly said.

Looking at Jun Yeyan who was calm and peaceful, Nalan Youhong was lack of mood to tell jokes: "Tomorrow is another banquet war!"

The Bai Aoxue here handed Mumian a porcelain bottle which was filled with poisonous powder. She didn’t believe that these people were not tempted or interested in these things.

But since these things were in her hands, she would not let them go.

And she wouldn’t block those greedy people who wanted to grab those properties as long as they could survive.

Thinking of this, Bai Aoxue smiled faintly instead of being indifferent which was shown when people trapped other people’s lives.

However, when she thought of seeing Ye Zhaojue tomorrow, Bai Aoxue even became a little excited.

On the other side, Bai Qiwei, who was carried away, kept thinking about Bai Aoxue’s boxes of gifts just as she expected.

"Men!" Bai Qiwei, who lied in bed, shouted towards outside.

"Creak..." A young servant pushed the door and came in which made the hinges creak.

"My lord, what is your command?" Servant saluted respectfully.

"Has Steward Bai's punishment been executed?" Bai Qiwei asked the servant in front of him.

"Responding to my lord, Steward Bai was caned for thirty times since he released Concubine Su out of the ancestral hall secretly. Concubine Su was also sent back to the ancestral hall according to your order, my lord." The servant said carefully.

Bai Qiwei nodded with satisfaction after listening to that. He then said: "Send someone to tell the second Miss that she should take a good rest and build up energy because she will go to the palace tomorrow with me."

The servant saluted again after listening to him: "I’ll send people to inform second Miss right now. Do you have any other requirements?"

"Well, did 5th prince leave?" It seemed that Bai Qiwei reminded of something then he asked quickly.

"5th prince has gone for a long time." The servant replied.

"That is the case. You can retreat now. I will call you when I need you." Bai Qiwei said thoughtfully.

After the servant retreated, Bai Qiwei began to think of countermeasures. As for those gifts, he would not leave to Bai Aoxue. Since he promised Bai Aoxue to give her ten miles of dowries, he would use those gifts to act as dowries.

"Humph! You’re going to marry someone but still want to use the money of Prime Minister’s mansion. You’re dreaming!" Bai Qiwei seemed to recall something and then said fiercely.

Here, Bai Suxue, who was originally taken away by Su Qianqian, was dissatisfied with Bai Qiwei. However, when she received the message brought by servant, the grudge towards Bai Qiwei disappeared in a flash.

"What did you say? Did Father really let me enter the palace with him tomorrow? Is this true?!" Bai Suxue said, her hands seizing the collar of that servant.

Looking at Bai Suxue who was more and more neurotic, although this servant felt disgusted, he resisted it since Bai Suxue was a young lady. He said: "Yes, the original words of my lord are like this. Second Miss, you heard me!"

Bai Suxue listened to that servant's reconfirmation and became speechlessly excited. With her hands covering cheeks, she started to cry. Looking at Bai Suxue with such an appearance, this servant felt coldly disgusted in heart.

Since he didn't want to linger, he retreated after the salute.

Anyone who looked at Bai Suxue now would be afraid of her appearance. Her hair was messy, and her mind was wandering. At this moment, she sometimes cried and sometimes laughed just like a madman.

"Hhh... I am going to the palace! I can see His Majesty!!" Bai Suxue suddenly laughed.

The waiter who was responsible for guarding outside didn’t take care of Bai Suxue’s words. They only thought that she was too happy.

"Men! Men!" It seemed that Bai Suxue suddenly reminded of something then she shouted.

Although Bai Suxue’s maidservant, who originally stood outside, was reluctant when she heard the voice of Bai Suxue, she moved to the inner room.

Bai Suxue was quite unhappy when saw that no one came in. In a short while, the maidservant came in. Bai Suxue rushed forward and pulled the maidservant's hair: "Bitch, are you reluctant when I let you in?"

That maid didn’t dare to resist, while Bai Suxue pulled her hair which hurt her scalp.

"Second Miss, you misunderstood me. I come in as soon as you call me. How could I be unwilling! Please forgive me, second Miss!" The maidservant said with tears.

Now Bai Suxue's temper was getting weirder. Most people were afraid of her constantly changing temper. She would vent by torturing them no matter she was happy or not.

"Hum! You dare not!" Bai Suxue finally put down the maidservant's hair, while then raised her hand and gave the maidservant a slap.

"Let them get me hot water. I want to bathe. Now go to customize several sets of clothes for me. Don’t forget that I want the clothes of Luoyan Shop! Today they must be prepared! No delay!" Bai Suxue glanced at the maidservant contemptuously.

Holding her swollen cheek, the maidservant replied with her head lowering: "I’ll go and prepare now!"

"Go away! I’m annoyed when I see you. Just go!" Bai Suxue said disdainfully.

She did not know that the maidservant’s eyes were full of billowy hatred when she lowered her head.

The next morning, Bai Aoxue got up early and then was dressed up by Mumian and others.

"Mumian, do I need to dress like this? I am not going to get married!" Bai Aoxue looked at herself in the bronze mirror who dressed like an official lady.

"Miss, General has not seen you for more than a year. Of course, you need to dress up beautifully!" Mumian looked at Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue had a headache. She said with her hand holding her head: “Mumian, I’m just going to see my uncle. No matter what I look like, I’m still his niece.”

After saying that, Bai Aoxue took off some cumbersome decorative on her head and said: "Go help me bring that gold-edged red dress that I ordered last time. Today I will wear that."

Mumian did not dare to be random. She also felt that Bai Aoxue was reasonable, so she quickly went to get that dress.

Under the toss of several people including Mumian and others, Bai Aoxue finally changed her clothes. Everything was settled.

"First Miss, my lord said that we can set off now if you are ready." An attendant’s voice came over from outside.

Bai Aoxue slightly nodded, indicating that Wenxi and others could go out first.

After they retreated, Bai Aoxue walked to the bedside and took out the dagger which she never left the body and put it into her sleeve.

And those people, who have been waiting outside, looked at the door altogether when heard that the door was opened.

They saw Bai Aoxue walking out gracefully. The sun rising in the morning shined her originally coquettish red dress, which made the gilt-edge even more luxurious.

Her inky hair was casually tied up with ribbons, showing demure which mixed with free and easy.

Her eyes were bright. Her lips were rosy even without using make up, and her stubborn and pride on her perfect oval face were inconsistent with her age. This was the current Bai Aoxue. This side of her made people cannot move the most.

Looking at those stunned people, Bai Aoxue opened her red lips after tidying up her hair: "Let’s go. My uncle is going to arrive."
