Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1522

Chapter 1522: Chapter 1517: Survival

Bai Qingyan quickly said upon hearing this, "How can the Prince of Wei lower himself to be an ordinary official in the Zhou Dynasty? This would be too unfair to the Prince of Wei, absolutely not..."

"The Wei Kingdom is no more, what’s this talk of a ’Prince of Wei’?" King of Xihuai laughed bitterly, "I just... hope he can become a regular person in the Zhou Dynasty, it would be best if he could enter the Zhou as an official, but if not, that’s okay too. With his special identity, it’s natural for my sister-in-law to have concerns, so let him become a wealthy merchant instead."

"If he wishes to enter officialdom through the imperial exam, I wonder... does the Prince of Wei have household registration in the Zhou?" Bai Qingyan blew gently on the tea, "If not, I can have Wei Zhong handle it. It will make it easier whether the Prince of Wei wants to take the imperial exam or do business..."

"Such a small matter doesn’t need to trouble my sister-in-law, the household registration has long been sorted!" King of Xihuai, open-hearted, was quickly led into revealing so by Bai Qingyan.

"I’m not aware where the household registration is located, so I can look after him!" Bai Qingyan smiled as she spoke to King of Xihuai.

"The household registration was originally set at Yeguan in Xiliang, and when Yeguan became a city of the Zhou, I slipped them some silver and took the opportunity to settle it," King of Xihuai felt he managed this affair well, somewhat boasting to Bai Qingyan.

After all, such matters are very common in their Wei Kingdom, nothing new. In King of Xihuai’s view, it was a very trivial matter.

Bai Qingyan nodded with a smile, "That is quite good, I’ll remember the place. If the Prince of Wei goes back... I will instruct the local officials to take good care of him. However, the land of Xiliang is quite barren, unlike the coast where it’s spring all year round. Since King of Xihuai has been to the coast, you surely know it’s suitable for long-term living. Why not... I let Wei Zhong relocate your household registration there?"

"Then, thank you very much, sister-in-law! Because you are Rong Yan’s wife, I am frank and trust unsuspiciously. However... this matter must not reach the people of Yan Kingdom, I fear they will root everything out. Please help keep it confidential." King of Xihuai made a deep bow toward Bai Qingyan.

"I understand, King of Xihuai rest assured." Bai Qingyan nodded slightly, "Let King of Xihuai have his meal first."

King of Xihuai shook his head, "My nephew has not been found; such a young child... who knows if he’s had enough to eat, where he might be suffering hardships outdoors. As his uncle... I truly cannot eat!"

Saying so, King of Xihuai straightened up, bowed deeply, and took his leave from Bai Qingyan, "I have disturbed my sister-in-law for too long, I shall be leaving now!"

Bai Qingyan nodded, "King of Xihuai, the epidemic is severe in the Yan Kingdom now; it’s not wise to risk entering Yan. I think the Prince of Wei is unlikely to enter Yan, after all, the epidemic is rampant, and even if he enters he may not get close to the Emperor of Yan! It’s better to stay with the Bai family in Zhou, three years later no matter who wins between the Zhou and Yan Kingdoms, the emperors of both countries will meet, then the Prince of Wei might accomplish something through the Bai family! So... perhaps King of Xihuai could return to Dadu City and wait for news, I’ll keep an eye on things in Yan for you!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" King of Xihuai expressed genuine gratitude, adding, "I hope in the contest of nations... you win!"

"Certainly!" Bai Qingyan replied.

After saluting Bai Qingyan, King of Xihuai left the Zhou military camp, deciding to watch over the border crossings that Yan Kingdom has opened to the Zhou, so as to catch Tuoba Yao, who might attempt an assassination plot, at the crossing should he venture into Yan.

"Your Majesty... King of Xihuai has left!" Wei Zhong reported back to Bai Qingyan after seeing off King of Xihuai.

"If I remember correctly, Yeguan used the original officials from Xiliang, right?" Bai Qingyan asked softly, her long eyelashes downcast.

In Yuanhe’s second year, on the fifth day of the twelfth month, the Emperor of Zhou led the Anping Army, escorting officials and medicinal herbs, reaching the vicinity of Yan before the King of Zhen. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
