Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 954

Chapter 954: Chapter 950: Counterbalancing the Former Dynasty

It felt as though a giant hand suddenly gripped her throat, and she barely held back her tears.

A Yu... still owes her a pigeon blood gemstone.

A Yu... has sent her the blood of a pigeon.

The Bai family members always keep their promises.

The moment Mrs. Dong saw the pigeon blood gemstone, she confirmed that the masked prince was her A Yu. Before A Yu left, he had told his elder sister that he would send her the most beautiful pigeon blood gemstone, and she knew it!

Mrs. Dong almost couldn’t hold back her tears. She pretended to smile as she lowered her head and dabbed at the corners of her mouth and eyes with a handkerchief: "Indeed, what a beautiful pigeon blood gemstone! It looks especially beautiful under this candlelight. Let your mother see it... As one grows older, one tends to like festive things."

Hearing this, Bai Qingyan quickly handed the gemstone to Mrs. Dong with both hands.

Mrs. Dong appeared very fond of it, raising her hand to touch the pigeon blood gemstone, as if... her son’s warmth was still on the gemstone.

Bai Qingyu’s eyes turned sour. He could hardly see his mother’s appearance. The fire had burned away half his face and nearly took one of his eyes. Although Bai Qingyu had adapted by now, as soon as the other eye became misty, his vision became nothing but a hazy light.

It was he who made his mother sad.

Seeing the Empress Dowager of Zhou remark on how beautiful the gemstone was, the Rong envoy, noticing their masked prince show no reaction, quickly said, "If the Empress Dowager likes it, I will certainly present an even better pigeon blood gemstone to the Empress Dowager of Zhou another day."

"Rong, Xiliang..." Bai Qingyan tapped her fingers on the table and called out to Liu Rushi, "Minister Liu..."

"Here at your command!" Liu Rushi responded.

"After the banquet, I will trouble Minister Liu to discuss matters with the envoys from Rong and Xiliang. Tomorrow morning, we will discuss with the court officials how to establish an alliance."

"Yes!" Liu Rushi accepted the order.

The matters with Xiliang and Rong concluded, the Yan envoy stood up and cupped his hands towards Bai Qingyan with a smile: "The Yan Kingdom has come this time, one, to congratulate the newly established Empress of Zhou on her ascension, and two... to make a goodwill alliance with Zhou. Before my departure, my king specially instructed to convey his congratulations to your majesty and the Empress, as the Empress had once imparted wisdom to my king during his time as a hostage in Dadu City, establishing a half-teacher relationship with my king!"

Bai Qingyan nodded, deeply impressed by Murong Li.

The masked Ninth Prince of Yan then turned to Bai Qingyan, nodded towards her: "Your Majesty, my king has now ascended the throne, leaving the post of Empress vacant. My king and the Ninth Prince wish to ally through marriage with Zhou."

The Fourth Madam, Mrs. Wang’s palms tightened. Although Bai Jinhua and Bai Jinzhao were not her biological daughters, she raised them by her own hands. Now that Kid is on the throne... and the Yan Kingdom speaks of marriage with the post of Empress. Aren’t they eyeing Kid’s few unmarried sisters?

"Speaking of marriage..." Dong Qingping, knowing Bai Qingyan would never let her sisters marry away, smiled at the Ninth Prince of Yan and deliberately said, "Our majesty has just ascended, with the position of Emperor Consort vacant. I heard the Ninth Prince has yet to marry, and being the biological brother of the previous emperor, would he consider a marriage alliance with our Zhou?"
