Bai Qingyan looked at the corners of Bai Jinse's lips, and said in a low voice: "The road is long and the road is long, we should go up and down to search..."
"Elder Sister's words, Xiao Qi has remembered them all! Seek ways to govern and rejuvenate the country from top to bottom... We are duty-bound!" Bai Jinse bowed to Bai Qingyan.
Seeing Bai Qingyan nodding, Bai Jinse handed her the teacup and said in a low voice: "Elder Sister has a cup of tea, it's time to take a rest! Tomorrow, when the White House makes arrangements, Sister Chuntao and Nanny Tong will also be able to enter the palace." Take care of the elder sister."
Bai Jinse was precocious, so Bai Qingyan never hid her words when she spoke in front of her. Seeing her sister's firm eyes, she was very moved, raised her hand to rub her sister's hair, and took the teacup.
"Your Majesty, King Yan of Xiliang is asking to see you..." Wei Zhong stepped forward and said in a low voice.
"It's already this hour, why did King Yan still come to see you?" Bai Jinse frowned and asked.
Ever since the eldest sister ascended the throne, she has been busier than before...too busy to even have a bite of food.
The corners of Bai Qingyan's lips slightly curled up while holding the teacup in his hand, it seemed... Li Zhijie was in a hurry.
"Tell King Yan of Xiliang that it's too late today, and I'll invite him to see you after tomorrow morning." Bai Qingyan bowed his head and slowly blew on the tea leaves in the teacup.
"Yes!" Wei Zhong slowly retreated out of the hall.
Bai Qingyan looked down at the tea leaves floating in the cup, seeing Li Zhijie tomorrow... then he could meet Ayu.
After all, both Rongdi and Xiliang wanted to form an alliance with the Great Zhou, but the alliance was not yet finalized. Li Zhijie came to meet the Great Zhou Empress, and naturally Rongdi's ghost-faced prince also wanted to meet.
Bai Qingyan put the lid on the cup, tightly clenched the teacup in his hand, and decided to ask someone to send a message to Ayu, after she had met Li Zhijie..., preferably before she and A Niang when together.
"Wait..." She looked up at Wei Zhong, "Let Li Zhijie come over tomorrow morning, just before...I go to accompany my mother to have breakfast."
"Yes!" Wei Zhong responded.
As long as this news is released, Ayu will know that after Li Zhijie leaves the palace, she will have breakfast with her mother, and when she comes here... she can see her mother.
Ayu will definitely come.

Bai Qingyan asked Li Zhijie to come back after the court today, but Li Zhijie didn't dare to delay, so he came to wait outside Bai Qingyan's study early, and brought the parrot with bright feathers.
On the day Bai Qingyan ascended the throne, Li Zhijie was so terrified that the killer he lent to King Baishui was discovered, so that he never mentioned the matter of giving the parrot to Bai Qingyan. When he came to see Bai Qingyan again today, he gave the parrot Bringing the parrot was a reason to come to see Bai Qingyan.
After a long while, Wei Zhong came out of the study, saluted Li Zhijie with a smile, and said, "King Yan, Your Majesty has a request..."
Li Zhijie nodded in thanks, and stuffed Wei Zhong with a heavy purse, saying that he was inviting Wei Zhong to drink tea, and then went into the study with Wei Zhong.
Seeing that Bai Qingyan was sitting on the soft couch, Li Zhijie hurriedly stepped forward to salute, asked someone to bring the parrot up, and said with a smile: "Originally, on the day your majesty ascended the throne, you wanted to dedicate this parrot to your majesty. Regarding the matter of King Baishui, the ministers were terrified and forgot about it!"
It was the first time for Bai Qingyan to see such a huge parrot, with blue feathers all over the body and yellow feathers on the neck, even in the main hall...you can see the brilliance of the feathers, it is really rare to see such a high-quality parrot.
The two men carried them into the birdcage of the main hall. The parrot held the crossbar tightly with its claws and spread its wings. When the birdcage fell to the ground, the parrot saw Li Zhijie. Then it folded its wings and let out a low cry.
Li Zhijie saw that Bai Qingyan was looking at this parrot with clean and bright feathers, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty might as well ask the servant to feed this parrot, it will be a pleasant surprise."
Seeing Bai Qingyan nodding at him, Wei Zhong took the melon seeds, walked up to the parrot, and fed one to the parrot. The parrot immediately stretched its neck and screamed, "The Great Zhou Empress is the most beautiful! The Great Zhou Empress is the most beautiful!"
Even Wei Zhong was surprised.
Seeing Bai Qingyan's slightly surprised expression, Li Zhijie said again: "My father-in-law, please feed this animal again."
Wei Zhong fed the parrot again, and the parrot screamed after eating: "Long live the Great Zhou Empress! Long live the Great Zhou Empress!"
Li Zhijie took a deep look at the parrot that gave him a long face, turned around and bowed to Bai Qing: "Little beast, please smile for Empress Bo, and hope that Empress will accept it."
Bai Qingyan nodded to Wei Zhong, signaling Wei Zhong to accept it: "Then I would like to thank King Yan, and give King Yan a seat..."
Li Zhijie expressed his thanks with a long bow, and after sitting down, he said leisurely: "I remember the first time I saw the Empress of Zhou Dynasty, it was at Qiushan Pass, and I saw the Empress riding a horse from afar, with a heroic appearance... The foreign ministers were astonished, and now Thinking about it, maybe the gods were reminding the foreign ministers that in the future, His Majesty will be the master of the country."
Bai Qingyan looked at Li Zhijie with a smile: "King Yan came here not just to give a parrot, praise me a few words!"
Li Zhijie got up and bowed: "Xiliang still hopes to form an alliance with Dazhou, but...the matter has not been settled for a long time, so the foreign ministers have the courage to come to see your majesty. The foreign ministers know... General Yun's speech to the Bai family back then. What the Seventeenth Young Master did really made His Majesty sad, and it is only right for His Majesty to hold grudges in his heart. In fact, General Yun also regretted it after he went back, otherwise he would not let his eldest grandson come here, thinking about being the Seventeenth Young Master of the Bai family. For my life, our Empress of Xiliang will not give up so many cities."
Bai Qingyan picked up the teacup, blew slowly into the teacup, lowered his head to drink the tea, and did not respond, thinking about how to find out from Li Zhijie whether he knew Jintong's identity.
Seeing this, Li Zhijie gritted his teeth and continued: "What Xiliang can give to Dazhou is far better than Rong and Di, and Dazhou can do it without any effort... Obtaining more than 20 cities is already equivalent to Dazhou fighting for one day." Win a battle, and win without a fight!"
"Rongdi has war horses, and Xiliang also has them... It's just that Xiliang has to prepare for the battle now, and can't get so many horses for a while! As long as Da Zhou can sign an alliance with Xiliang, after the war, Rong Di will now give Da Zhou Xiliang will send you as many horses as you want!" Li Zhijie said slowly, "This is a very good deal for Da Zhou."
"But the steed that Rongdi gave will arrive immediately, and Xiliang's promise after the war... is just a dead letter to Da Zhou." Bai Qingyan rubbed the teacup in his hand, "What if Xiliang loses? Isn't it... ... lip service but not the truth? It is true that Da Zhou wanted the city of Xiliang, but war horses are also very important to Da Zhou. With war horses... Da Zhou is like a cloud of fierce generals, and the main force of Xiliang is restrained by Rong Di , it must not be a problem to seize more than twenty cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty, what does King Yan say?"
