Chapter 16 Bai Yuanzhen
The capital of Lanyang State.
Bianzhou, the upper capital.
Now it is winter, and heavy snow is falling. The heavy snow like goose feathers covers the entire Shangjing City.
Snow is falling all over the place, covering the whole place with silver.
The huge city towering above the plains is like a ferocious beast, ready to devour its prey.
The inner city palace, the prince’s residence.
A woman with a beautiful face and a graceful figure, holding a white jade slip in her hand, was lying lazily on the couch.
The current crown prince Li Hongwen knelt trembling on the glass floor, with his head buried, not daring to look at the figure behind the gauze.
Just when he was feeling anxious, a lazy yet majestic female voice came: "Your Highness, it has been eight years since I entered the palace. I have given you eight years, but you still haven't dealt with your father. Aren't you too useless?"
"You are so useless that perhaps you are not even qualified to be a puppet."
Li Hongwen kowtowed in fear and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. I have tried my best. Most of the civil and military officials have been recruited by me. Unfortunately, there are secret worshippers from the sect monitoring everything. I dare not make any big moves. It's not that I am afraid of death, but I am afraid of delaying Your Majesty's plan!"
"Oh? So, I misunderstood you?"
"I dare not. I only ask Your Majesty to give me another year. I have secretly poisoned my father for three years. He will surely die in another year!"
The woman on the couch stopped talking, and Crown Prince Li Hongwen could only lie on the ground nervously, not daring to look up.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of the couch, whispered something, and then disappeared.
"Haha, my genius second brother finally decided to go home. That's good. I haven't been back to the Bai family for a long time. It's a good opportunity to go back and see my second brother."
This woman is none other than the current Crown Princess, Bai Yuanzhen, the eldest daughter of the Bai family in Yunzhou.
Eight years ago, Bai Yuanzhen's entry into the palace caused a sensation. The Bai family was like a local tyrant in Yunzhou, and they also controlled all military power in the south. They were second to none.
Bai Yuanzhen was extremely beautiful and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was a talented and extraordinary woman.
But eight years ago, such a woman ignored her parents' opposition, gave up her peaceful life, and resolutely married the prince and moved into this deserted palace.
Many people say that Bai Yuanzhen was attracted by the prince's talent, while others say that Bai Yuanzhen was obsessed with the prince's beauty.
Crown Prince Li Hongwen, who was lying on the ground, thought the same thing at first.
But he never expected that his beloved wife would turn into a ferocious beast. Not only had they not touched each other once in eight years, but she had also fallen to such a state.
Bai Yuanzhen looked at the jade slip in his hand, and his thoughts seemed to go back to eight years ago, the day when he had just obtained the jade slip.
The Immortal Qin Empire, Qin Shi Huang, the law of the dynasty, the whole country ascended...
A golden light flashed in Bai Yuanzhen's eyes. What if I have a red true spirit in a mortal body? On the road to becoming an immortal, I, Bai Yuanzhen, must be there! "After one year, if it doesn't work out, you know the consequences."
"Please arrange for me to go back to the Bai family."
"yes!"
Li Hongwen breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed, and carefully left the hall.
…
city.
The General's Mansion had a double celebration today, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.
General Bai Li and Crown Princess Bai Yuanzhen have both returned, and today happens to be New Year's Eve.
The servants in the Bai Mansion were busy pasting up couplets and hanging lanterns. The kitchen was even busier, preparing all kinds of delicacies and rare ingredients, starting early in the morning to prepare for the dinner.
At this time, all the members of the Bai family gathered in the martial arts arena. The younger ones were competing and sparring with each other below, while the older ones were chatting animatedly in the stands.
Martial arts performances are a must-do program every year before the New Year, and there are not many entertainment activities in this world.
The Bai family values martial arts over literature, but the younger generations are very excited. Winning and getting reward money is a small matter, but showing up in public and gaining face is a big matter, so all the young men are very motivated.
Bai Donglin looked around with a bored look on his face. The competition in the martial arts arena was just like playing house in his eyes. He was afraid that he could beat everyone with one hand.
He is still more interested in his father and elder sister.
The head of the Bai family, General Bai Li, is stationed outside all year round and rarely comes back once or twice a year. However, no one complains, as everything the Bai family has is won by the general.
This is true for every generation of generals.
Bai Li is over 1.9 meters tall, with a strong build and a dignified face. One can tell at first glance that he is a fierce general in the army, the kind that leads the charge.
His eldest sister Bai Yuanzhen gave him an even more stunning feeling. Needless to say, her appearance and figure were both first-rate. But it was her aura that gave him a sense of majesty, the majesty of someone who was in a high position and held great power.
Among the three siblings, the eldest sister's temperament is most similar to their father Bai Li.
It seems that this elder sister is not an ordinary person. Bai Donglin looked at Bai Yuanzhen with a thoughtful expression.
At this time, his elder sister turned her head and smiled at him, then slowly walked towards him. There was a faint golden light in the depths of her eyes. She looked Bai Donglin up and down and said:
"Brother, I didn't expect that you have changed so much in just one year."

Bai Donglin suddenly felt like he was facing his second brother, a feeling of being seen through.
He shook his head, thinking it must be an illusion. His eldest sister was also a red spirit without the qualifications to practice.
"Big sister is getting younger and more beautiful. I've recently started practicing martial arts and I eat a lot, so I'm growing faster!"
Bai Yuanzhen covered his mouth and smiled, pinching his cheek: "Little brat, you are so smooth-talking even though you are still young!"
Bai Donglin was embarrassed by being pinched. He was already twelve years old a year ago, and he was not short in height. Why did they always treat him like a child? The eldest sister didn't learn this from her mother, but they had a good relationship since they were young, so it was hard to say anything.
The two sat down and chatted about everything under the sun. Bai Donglin would occasionally make some famous jokes from his past life, which made the elder sister laugh.
I don’t know if we will ever meet again after this time. Maybe we will never see each other again in this life, so let’s say as many words as possible, Bai Donglin thought to himself.
The road to finding the truth is too long and too difficult, so we can only start as soon as possible.
The martial arts performance ended in the evening.
Everyone went to the hall for the banquet. The hall was filled with hundreds of tables of delicious food.
This is enough to show that the Bai family has a large population.
Bai Donglin and his family sat at the same table, with one more person, Liu Yiyi, present than in previous years.
Before the meal started, Bai Li gave a summary of previous years, and then encouraged everyone to keep working hard, and so on.
Bai Donglin felt like he was attending the company's annual meeting.
Amid the clinking of glasses and laughter, Bai Donglin felt a little dazed.
This is his first New Year in this world.
No cell phone, no computer, no Spring Festival Gala. He was just an orphan on the blue planet. In this world, he had brothers, sisters and family. He should not miss his lonely past life, but now he felt a sour nose.
Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family all the more during the holidays.
After all, he is still a time traveler.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
At this time, the night sky of the city is filled with colorful fireworks, which are gorgeous and make the New Year atmosphere even more intense.
Bai Donglin looked up at the gorgeous sky with blurred eyes.
"Blue Star, I will miss you forever!"
