Chapter 240: There is another secret

In the early years, in order to consolidate the throne, the emperor selected concubines for marriage among the relatives of the ministers of the court, one was to win people's hearts, and the other was to contain them!

Now, the emperor's dragon seat is sitting firmly, and those women of the family who were used as chess pieces and sent to the palace can only stay alone in the empty room every night! It's rare to see a gentleman all year round!

General Ji is afraid of Bai Yanqing, and he has followed in the footsteps of those concubines!

Now, in the entire government and the opposition, who doesn't know that Bai Yanqing is the only daughter of Bai Xiang? Is she the granddaughter of the only relative of the Ji family? How many people want to use the mother clan behind Bai Yanqing? Not to mention Yun Qi, who is the prince!

General Ji is worried, Yun Qi is also using Bai Yanqing! Take advantage of the maternal clan behind Bai Yanqing!

"Grandfather, do you believe in the Great Prince? Still don't believe me, your granddaughter? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can be manipulated at will?"

Bai Yanqing grabbed General Ji's arm again, looked at him with a smile, and there was no sadness in his eyes! This is really weird!.

"What's more, with my understanding of the eldest prince in the past few months, he is different from the emperor! Since I chose to marry the eldest prince, then I choose to believe him! I believe that he is not using me, but also in my own vision! If...... One day, I find that I really see the wrong person, and I will ...... Be reconciled with him! And then...... Carrying a luggage package, I ran to Jifu! When the time comes, my grandfather and uncle must take me in! Okay, okay?"

Bai Yanqing pulled General Ji's arm and said coquettishly to him. This little daughter's coquettish attitude is really impossible to refuse her!

"Good, good! The door of the Ji family is open for you at any time! This is your home! In the future, when you come back, don't be so rude and polite!"

Old General Ji pretended to be angry and said to Bai Yanqing.

Bai Yanqing's eyes were bright, and there was a smile between her eyebrows! Her grandfather said "come back", not "come"! Return, there is the meaning of going home. The one who comes is a guest, and the one who comes is a guest!

With just this sentence, Bai Yanqing knew what his status was in the hearts of the Ji family! It turns out that they have always regarded themselves as their own family, not guests! As soon as she thought of this, Bai Yanqing's heart unconsciously warmed!

That's nice!

"Grandfather, today, called Yan Qing over, but what is the important matter?"

Bai Yanqing didn't think that her grandfather took the risk of calling her over today to talk about family affection and reminisce about old love!

"Today, I didn't call you over!"

Old General Ji suddenly spoke, the confusion on his face didn't look like he was pretending!

"What? Didn't you ask Yan Qing to come over? But Brother Jing said......"

Bai Yanqing turned his head and looked at Ji Nanjing on the side.

"Ahem...... I...... I pretended to be my grandfather's order to call you over!"

Ji Nanjing turned his head embarrassedly, and subconsciously stretched out his fingers and rubbed the tip of his nose!

This is Ji Nanjing's performance when he lied!

"Really? How do I feel...... What is the secret of this?"

Bai Yanqing stared at Ji Nanjing deadly, not missing any expression on his face!

"Grandfather, how do you know that Yan Qing is going to come over today? And sent a carriage to pick me up? At the back door of the Ji Mansion, there are also domestic servants waiting for me to show me the way! Didn't you arrange this?"

Bai Yanqing suddenly turned around and asked Old General Ji.

Hearing this, General Ji first glared at Ji Nanjing fiercely, and then thought for a long time before he spoke: "It was your uncle who told me that you were going back to Ji Mansion to see me today, so I deliberately set aside a day to wait for you in the mansion!" As for the carriage and the servants you mentioned...... I really don't know!"

"Oh? It seems that my uncle misses Yan Qing! Really?"

Bai Yanqing didn't even think about it for too long, and then he knew whose handwriting all this was today!

"Ahem......

Ji Jinxiu turned his head away, embarrassed

Cough twice. For Bai Yanqing's questioning, he didn't even refute a word! The truth of the matter is obvious!

"Jin Xiu?"

Old General Ji looked at Ji Jinxiu with surprise in his eyes, and didn't understand why he wanted to go around in such a big circle and invited Bai Yanqing.

"Actually...... I have something to say to Yan Qing today, and this is the ...... I borrowed my father's reason! Besides, doesn't my father want to meet his granddaughter too? I'm not...... Has it done to you?"

Ji Jinxiu said with some embarrassment.

Under the pretext of General Ji's excuse, inviting Bai Yanqing to come over to the house is indeed Ji Jinxiu's lack of decency.

"Uncle has something to do with me, just say it! I thought my grandfather had something to do! Next time, you let Brother Jing say it directly!"

Bai Yanqing smiled lightly and spoke, and between her words, there was nothing unpleasant. After all, she was also very happy to see the elders and relatives she thought about day and night!

"It's cold outside, let's talk about it inside!"

Ji Jinxiu glanced at Ji Nanjing and proposed.

Seeing this, Ji Nanjing nodded in agreement, and then turned around and opened the way in front.

A few people stepped forward and walked towards General Ji's study.

In the study, the servants had already lit the stove and prepared hot tea and snacks...... I'm waiting. Bai Yanqing looked at everything in front of her, and secretly said in her heart, this is clear, it is her good uncle, who came prepared!

Seeing them coming, the servant bowed down and withdrew, and then, cautiously, closed the door of the study for them.

"Jin Xiu, this ...... What the hell is going on? You're so mysterious?"

At this time, when General Ji saw this posture, most of them also understood, knowing that Ji Jinxiu must have something important to discuss.

"Yan Qing, go to the stove first to warm your hands, you girl, you can't stand the cold!"

Ji Jinxiu looked at Bai Yanqing with some distress and admonished her.

Bai Yanqing was not restrained, walked straight to the stove, stretched out his hands, and roasted by the fire. It didn't take long for my body to warm up!

"Father, you sit down first, take a sip of hot tea, look at your face slowly, and then your son will talk to you in detail!"

Ji Jinxiu helped General Ji to sit down, and then, he glanced at Ji Nanjing, who hurriedly stepped forward and poured a cup of hot tea for General Ji.

After Bai Yanqing warmed up a little, he also sat down next to General Ji, picked up the hot tea, and took a shallow sip. She was waiting, waiting for her uncle, to speak first.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ji Jinxiu to take the lead in opening his mouth!

"Yan Qing, when you entered the palace yesterday, did you meet anyone? What happened?"

Ji Jinxiu was holding a teacup in his hand, but his eyes drifted to Bai Yanqing.

Hearing Ji Jinxiu ask, Bai Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and then after thinking for a while, he spoke honestly.

"Yesterday when I entered the palace, I was invited to the Jiyue Palace by Concubine Xian!"

Bai Yanqing didn't say much, only replied to Ji Jinxiu's question.

"What did she do with you?"

Ji Jinxiu frowned, and then asked.

"The concubine...... You want me to help the Five Princes! She said that the emperor did not agree with the marriage of Emperor Xiyue and the fifth prince, and wanted me to help with it! But I ...... How can you do her such a great favor?"

Bai Yanqing pursed her lips and said helplessly.

Hearing this, Ji Jinxiu's face suddenly changed, he lowered his eyes, stared at the teacup in his hand, and fell into silence.

"Where did she ask you to help her? She's ...... You're forcing our Ji family!"

After a long time, Ji Jinxiu slowly spoke.

Forcing the Ji family? What does this mean?

Bai Yanqing raised her head and looked at her uncle in confusion.

"Uncle...... What do you mean by that?"

Bai Yanqing looked at Ji Jinxiu, and her intuition told her that there was something else hidden in this matter.

"Our Ji family...... I once owed her a great favor!"

Ji Jinxiu spoke again, and there seemed to be a lot of helplessness between his words.

"The Ji family owes her a favor? But...... What she said yesterday is like she owes our Ji family!"

When Bai Yanqing thought of what Concubine Xian said yesterday, she became more and more puzzled at the moment!

Obviously, it was Ji Jinchu who helped Concubine Xian and saved Concubine Xian, who used to be Hongluan, how could he ...... It's become the Ji family's debt to Hongluan again?

"It's a long story, and I can't talk to you about it for a while! All I can say is that it's busy...... We must help her!"

Ji Jinxiu glanced at Old General Ji and Bai Yanqing, and then spoke.

Bai Yanqing glanced at General Ji, and seeing his confused look, Bai Yanqing knew that this secret was not even clear to her, her grandfather, right?

So, what kind of secret is it that can not only make the Ji family owe the virtuous concubine, but also make the old general Ji, who is the head of the Ji family, not know?

In Bai Yanqing's mind, she quickly thought about it, and then, she suddenly came up with a bold idea!

"Uncle, this matter ...... But what does it have to do with my mother?"

Bai Yanqing looked at Ji Jinxiu and suddenly spoke.

When Ji Jinxiu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he ...... It was not denied!

It can be seen that behind this incident, it is really related to Ji Jinchu!

"What the hell is going on? Jin Xiu, what did you and Jin Chu do behind my back?!"

At this moment, General Ji changed his previous kindness, and the murderous aura on his face frightened Ji Nanjing on the side, and he didn't dare to say anything at all!

Ji Jinxiu looked at General Ji's appearance, and there were words of suffering in his heart, but he still kept his mouth shut tightly and resolutely did not mention the "hidden feeling"!

The atmosphere between father and son, for a while, was tense to the extreme!

"Grandfather! You extinguish the fire, can you leave this matter to Yan Qing? I believe my uncle, he must have something unspeakable!"

Bai Yanqing raised his hand to take the teapot and refilled the teacup for General Ji!

Seeing this, General Ji calmed down a little!

Bai Yanqing knew that what could make her grandfather angry was not what her uncle did in private! Over the years, her uncle has done a lot of things in private, and General Ji has never asked! What can really make General Ji anxious is this matter, which is related to Ji Jinchu, who has passed away!

General Ji's love for his daughter, how many people are present, who doesn't know?

"If this matter is really related to my mother, then ...... The mother owes the grace of the concubine, and Yan Qing will pay it back, which is also deserved! Uncle don't worry, since I have answered her, then I have a way to help her!"

Bai Yanqing finally appeased General Ji, and as soon as he turned around, he began to appease Ji Jin Xiu again!

The old and young of this Ji family are really children's temperament! Bai Yanqing was afraid that she would not be able to comfort her, so they were tense again!

Not to mention...... Bai Yanqing didn't want to let the Ji family get involved in this matter!

The emperor is extremely jealous of the Ji family, and if the Ji family gets involved again, he is afraid that it will be ...... It's even harder!
