Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1413

Chapter 1413: Chapter 1408: Deploying Troops

Cai Ziyuan seemed to have finally found a place to vent his grievances. He earnestly advised Bai Qingyan that Bai Jinzhi should read more military books. It wasn’t that Cai Ziyuan thought Bai Jinzhi lacked strategy in battle, but he believed that Bai Jinzhi should study to temper his character.

Moreover, Bai Jinzhi’s path to growth had been too smooth, leading to some arrogance and underestimation of the enemy. If this continues, he may suffer when encountering a tough opponent in the future.

Cai Ziyuan originally intended to teach Bai Jinzhi chess to temper his character and learn the art of war through the game.

But Bai Jinzhi’s enthusiasm quickly faded. At first, he said he wanted to learn from Cai Ziyuan properly, so he could play a few rounds with his elder sister in the future. However, after just two days, every time Cai Ziyuan brought the chessboard to him, Bai Jinzhi would run away faster than anyone.

Yesterday, Cai Ziyuan went early to intercept Bai Jinzhi, only for Bai Jinzhi to climb over the wall and escape!

Cai Ziyuan knew that Bai Qingyan had placed him beside Bai Jinzhi, hoping he could be Bai Jinzhi’s advisor and teach him along the way, but Bai Jinzhi... was simply impossible to teach!

If Cai Ziyuan didn’t have a strong heart, he might have been infuriated to the point of coughing up blood.

But these weren’t the main issues. After addressing them, Cai Ziyuan carefully spoke to Bai Qingyan: "Your Majesty... Gaoyi King has grown up, spending her days amidst the men in the military camps. Has Your Majesty ever considered... that Gaoyi King might have someone she’s fond of?"

"Who?" Bai Qingyan looked up at Cai Ziyuan, always considering her younger sister Bai Qingyan as still young, so she had never thought in this direction.

Seeing Bai Qingyan’s surprised expression, Cai Ziyuan bowed to her and said, "I apologize for startling Your Majesty. This is Ziyuan’s fault! Originally, I intended to report this matter immediately upon returning, but Your Majesty has been busy, and Ziyuan did not wish to disturb you."

"Go ahead and tell me..." Bai Qingyan pondered over the letters Bai Jinzhi had sent before, guessing whether it might be Lu Yuanpeng.

"Your Majesty, it seems to me that the grandson of Commandant Lu and General Sima Ping from the Sima family both have intentions towards Gaoyi King. However, Gaoyi King has always been carefree and regards everyone as brothers, so she probably hasn’t noticed," Cai Ziyuan spoke with lowered eyes, "Since I am neither an elder to Gaoyi King nor a woman, it’s truly difficult for me to speak to Gaoyi King about certain matters, so it requires Your Majesty to put in some effort."

Bai Qingyan was taken aback for a moment, then heard Cai Ziyuan continue: "As for this matter... Ziyuan believes that while the family of Commandant Lu is indeed loyal, Commandant Lu now stands above all but one. His eldest son is the Chief of Staff managing personnel appointments, and his grandson, Lu Yuanqing, is a leading talent among the new generation with unlimited future prospects! If a marriage alliance is to be made, Your Majesty might consider Sima Ping, whose father is exiled but remains talented yet unassuming. In this way... Sima Ping could better rely on Your Majesty!"

Cai Ziyuan truly considered himself a personal advisor to the Bai family, daring to speak such daring words to Bai Qingyan.

"Ziyuan knows that Your Majesty does not wish to use the marriages of the Bai family’s children as political tools. I think that since Gaoyi King hasn’t developed any romantic feelings for either of them yet, both seem to be sincere towards her. Your Majesty... can have someone guide the situation naturally!" Cai Ziyuan carefully said, "Of course, if Gaoyi King ends up having no interest in either, then that would be another matter entirely!"

Bai Qingyan was silent for a moment before slowly responding as if coming to her senses, "This matter has troubled Mr. Cai. Let me discuss it with Xiao Si before deciding."

"Yes..." Cai Ziyuan responded.

"I entrust Mr. Cai with the coastal affairs this time," Bai Qingyan said.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, Ziyuan will see to it that everything is arranged properly." Cai Ziyuan bowed to Bai Qingyan.
