Bai Chizhen just took a stroll at the city gate and turned back to Prince Xian's Mansion, but he did not miss General Xie entering the palace and the emperor's rewards.
Xiao Hei projected the screen throughout the whole process and ate the hot soup prepared by the palace in big mouthfuls.
When he was coming back from the city gate in the morning and was about to get on the carriage, Xiao Hei fell from the sky and jumped right in front of him. He was almost cut by the guards as if he were a hidden weapon.
Fortunately, Bai Chi was quick to bring Xiao Hei back. At this moment, the servants in the mansion were preparing a cat bed for it, including a small room and a quilt, and a small quilt was covered outside the room to keep it windproof and warm.
While Baichi was roasting by the fire, eating pine nuts peeled by his maid, and admiring the court, his royal brother was conferring the title on General Xie.
"...he was named the Great General of the Nation, and enjoyed..."
The beginning and the end were too long-winded, and Bai Chi only heard these few words clearly.
The great general who protects the country?
That's right, at such a young age, he has such great military achievements. Coupled with the contribution of Marquis Xie to following the emperor ten years ago, the Xie family can be said to be unparalleled.
"Master, so you just went to the city gate for a stroll just to let your husband see you. Listen, the emperor is about to start urging you to get married."
Xiao Hei ate and gossiped at the same time without any delay.
Bai Chi snorted in his heart, but he was certain that his brother's pressure for marriage would not work.
But as a general, after returning to the capital to report, he will inevitably go to the army for training, or attend a banquet with his colleagues, and after a while he may even have to guard the border.
Unfortunately, it is winter now, and the weather is freezing. He is too lazy to wander around the streets. If he doesn't join in the fun today, unless he goes out of his way to find someone, he may not be able to meet them by chance.
This was originally his selfish desire, and there was nothing wrong with admitting it.
"I can't waste my time. Besides, I've been out of the palace for over three months. Boss Liu will probably be coming to visit soon. I'll have someone to keep me company so I don't get impatient and kill them."
Bai Chi yawned and admitted that he went out today just to see Xie Yunxiao, General Xie.
Of course, no one will ever find out.
"Master, you're amazing! You didn't waste any time! You didn't even have to bend your fingers! Your husband came up to you on his own."
It could see clearly that the young Saker Falcon was in the rear team, in a cage covered with thatch and old clothes, and placed casually on the carriage where the spoils were piled.
It was estimated that the original plan was to hand it over to the national treasury together with the captured spoils of war, but General Xie ended up saying that he fed the baby himself and knew his preferences.
Tsk tsk, it's no wonder that he and his master have a crush on each other. When he lies, he doesn't even draft it.
At this time, General Xie in the hall, no, now he is the Great General of the Nation, was calm and unyielding, and refused the emperor's urging to get married without leaving any room for negotiation.
"Your Majesty, I was ambushed by the enemy several months ago and my foundation was damaged. I can no longer have children in this lifetime. How can I delay the work of another young lady?"
It was said loudly in the court, and all the civil and military officials gasped. Some of those who dozed off at the end were awakened instantly, their eyes wide open, and they ate the melon seriously.
Especially the emperor, who was still thinking in his mind which daughter would be worthy of this young and promising general, was stunned. Several names went through his mouth, but he couldn't utter any one.
On the other side, just after finishing gossiping with Xiao Hei and watching how Xie Yunxiao would refuse the emperor's kindness, he heard such a powerful statement.
Bai Chi was shocked for a moment, and ended up choking on the pine nuts in her mouth. She coughed for a while, and her face turned red. The maids around her were so scared that they ran to ask for the palace doctor.
After Bai Chi finished coughing, the court physician came into the room. Even though he said he was choking and not catching a cold, the court physician still took his pulse and only let him go after confirming that he was fine.
Xiao Hei was also surprised and jumped onto Bai Chi's legs in two jumps.
"Master, your husband is amazing. When others urged him to get married, he just said he couldn't do it. If this gets out, everyone in the world will definitely talk about it."
Bai Chi finally understood now, shook his head slightly, and reached out to stroke the cat gently.
"If the emperor wants to force a marriage, even if he is a general, he cannot refuse. Although this may cause rumors, it can also save a lot of trouble."
The most important thing is that the Xie family has made outstanding contributions and holds military power. In troubled times, they are generals who are highly valued, but in peaceful and prosperous times, they will be feared by the emperor.
However, if it is a great general without an heir, that is another matter.
Xiao Hei nodded as if he understood, then asked a really important question.
"But Master, if he is really injured or disabled, what will you do then?"
Then I felt a tightness on the back of my neck. Bai Chi lifted me up and shook me a few times as a punishment, and then put me down again.
"No, he is in very good health. It depends on how he can hide it from the imperial doctors."
Sure enough, the emperor had already sent someone to call the imperial physician, who was taking Xie Yunxiao's pulse and examining his body in the court.
Almost everyone in the Imperial Medical Bureau came, and no one knew what Xie Yunxiao had done. Every imperial physician said that his pulse was a little disordered and that he had been seriously injured not long ago.
Of course this may indeed be true, and he did not do anything wrong in this regard.
It may not be humane, and whether she can give birth to a child is not something the imperial physician can determine in a short time.
However, he was a great general and said so directly in the court, so almost no one suspected that he was lying.
After all, a normal man would never admit that he is not good enough, and even if he is really not good enough, he would not let others know.
I can only say that General Xie is indeed not an ordinary person!
By the time Bai Chi finished watching the excitement, it was already noon. The emperor had already released the general and asked him to go back to his mansion to rest first, and a celebration banquet would be held for him three days later.
Xiao Hei laughed at him and said, "Master, you came here for nothing today. There will be a celebration party the day after tomorrow. You can see him then."
Bai Chi flicked Xiao Hei's forehead, and before he could say anything, a maid came in with a food box.
"Your Highness, the Liu family restaurant has released a new dessert today. They say it's made with milk and ginger, and eating it regularly can help ward off the cold."
Bai Chi became interested. "Is it the recently famous Liu's Restaurant? I tried their new dish at Yunyan Tower last night, and they're releasing it again today?"
"Yes, this is what people lined up to buy downstairs early this morning. Your Highness, please try it."
As soon as the food box was opened, a sweet smell came out. It was an ordinary small bamboo box, filled with something white and tender, like tofu pudding, but it exuded not the fragrance of beans, but the fragrance of milk.
Ginger milk?
It's interesting that Boss Liu has put in a lot of effort to attract the attention of King Xian.
