Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1437

Chapter 1437: Chapter 1432: Not Suitable

That night, Bai Qingyan had a dream. In her dream, while discussing state affairs with the ministers during the morning court, Prince Hancheng returned. He stood at the entrance of the grand hall without entering, just smiling warmly at her, wearing his armor, lifting his robe’s hem and kneeling, bowing to her.

She invited Prince Hancheng in, but he merely smiled, disappearing into the golden morning light.

After waking up, Bai Qingyan glanced at the still slumbering children beside her. Gently, she tucked in the quilts for the two, got up to tidy the bed curtains, and instructed Chun Tao to call for attendants to come in for her morning wash and change of clothes.

After rinsing her mouth, she dabbed her lips with the handkerchief Chun Tao handed her and asked Wei Zhong, "Has there been any letter from Prince Hancheng from the coastal regions?"

"It arrived, delivered during the night, so I did not disturb Your Majesty!" Wei Zhong stood respectfully by Bai Qingyan’s side and replied.

"Hand it to me so I can take a look." She sat by the window-side chaise, took a sip of hot tea, preparing to read the letter before heading to the morning court.

Wei Zhong placed the letter within Bai Qingyan’s reach.

Bai Qingyan read the letter, which stated roughly... in recent times, warships were dispatched to escort fishermen out to sea for fishing, and the Dongyi Kingdom has been peaceful for some time.

Liu Rushi’s secret letter sent back from the Dongyi Kingdom mentioned that they had already begun contacting the Empress of Dongyi. According to Lu Fenglang, after returning from the palace, the Dongyi Empress also seemed intent on promoting the Seventh Prince to the throne, seeking Bai Qingyan’s advice on whether to assist.

Bai Qingyan looked at the date Liu Rushi wrote this secret letter, calculating the time... by the time Liu Rushi dispatched this letter, her request for Liu Rushi not to involve other princes was likely not received yet, which was why Liu Rushi was still seeking her advice on aiding the Seventh Prince’s ascension.

At this time, Liu Rushi should have received her letter, understanding her intention not to draw other princes into the fray and complicating the situation, surely not involving with the Dongyi Empress.

For some reason, Bai Qingyan felt uneasy, especially as dawn approached, dreaming of Prince Hancheng kneeling outside the hall bidding farewell made her anxious about the situation at the coast.

Seeing that the time was nearly up, Bai Qingyan finally put down the letter, preparing to go to court, not forgetting to remind Nanny Tong: "Tomorrow is the family banquet. Mother will surely be very busy today. After the morning court, nanny should bring the two children to my place; let’s not let them bother Mother today."

"Alright! Eldest Young Lady, rest assured!" Nanny Tong replied with a smile, escorting Bai Qingyan out of the bedchamber before returning to care for the children.

On the way to the front hall, Bai Qingyan thought of Prince Hancheng’s wife. Tomorrow is the fifteenth of August, a time for family reunion, but Princess Hancheng has no children, which must be lonely.

Now, as Prince Hancheng is contributing to Zhou by the coast, it’s not ideal to burden him with worries from the rear.

She said to Wei Zhong, "Tomorrow at the family banquet, send someone to invite Princess Hancheng into the palace."

"Yes!" Wei Zhong replied with a smile.

The next day, during the Mid-Autumn family banquet, Princess Hancheng did not attend.
