Chapter 724 Jun Changning’s Purpose

Jun Changning went to Duke Wen's Mansion the day after Bai Heran left Beijing.

This was her first visit since her birth, and Bai Xingyan was not prepared at all.

However, Jun Changning's arrival was not completely incomprehensible. Bai Xingyan thought that this must be because Bai Mingzhu was thrown into the cold palace and the sixth princess had no support. So she remembered the Bai family and wanted to show her closeness. Besides, she probably didn't want the emperor to say that both mother and daughter were not caring about family affection, so she took the initiative to come to the Bai family.

But no matter what it was, Bai Xingyan didn't have much affection for this niece. He cared about his sister, and the position of Concubine Kang. He didn't like Jun Changning, a brainless and arrogant princess like Jun Changning. He even felt that Jun Changning's temperament was a bit like Bai Huayan, but Bai Huayan was so old. Jun Changning was seventeen years old. Can he compare with the ten-year-old Bai Huayan? So the arrival of this sixth princess did not get much warm welcome from the Bai family.

But not being welcomed does not mean that no one is entertaining. After all, he is still a princess, so Bai Xingyan personally accompanied her in the front hall and talked for a while, and the parents talked in a mess for a while.

Soon, the housekeeper came in and asked if he was preparing lunch. Will the Sixth Princess stay for lunch?

Bai Xingyan made a decision for Jun Changning on the spot: "It is not easy for the princess to leave the palace. She will not stay outside the palace for too long. After talking for a while, it is time to go back to the palace. Even if we want to stay for lunch, the princess will definitely not be able to stay."

Unexpectedly, Jun Changning immediately answered the words: "No, no, no, I can stay for lunch. Before leaving the palace, I went to take a leave of absence from my father and mother, saying that I would leave the palace to visit my Duke Wenguo's mansion. In fact, I have always remembered this relative, but in the past, it was because my mother's mother was not close to her, so it was not convenient for me to have more contact with her. But in the future, I will often go out of the palace to visit my grandmother and uncle, and will do my best to do my mother's filial piety. My father and mother were very happy to hear that and immediately let me out of the palace."

Bai Xingyan was so angry that his teeth were itchy, and at the same time, he was surprised that this niece did not seem to be as he had thought before, not completely brainless. He learned to climb up the body of his mother, at least he must be much better than Bai Huayan.

It would be impossible not to keep lunch, so Bai Xingyan ordered the housekeeper to prepare meals and invited Daye, Hong, Bai Haochen and Bai Haoxuan to accompany him, and even Lin's family were invited out. There were only a few people in the Duke's Mansion at the moment, and it looked a little thin.

During the meal, Da Ye's head was covered with a gauze scarf, which always looked stronger than the bald one. He also wore a wide-sleeved robe, which could cover the lotus root arm well. Apart from these two external factors, Da Ye's look rich and elegant, dignified and graceful.

However, Lin seemed a little restrained. He only moved the chopsticks a few times, then put them down and laughed together without saying a word.

Bai Haoxuan was still young, and after eating for a while, he left the table and said he wanted to go to read the book.

Jun Changning also said enthusiastically: "I heard that cousin Xuan's homework has always been very good. I believe I can take the Tongsheng exam in a few years." After that, he sighed, "Oh, it's a pity that the title of the Bai family cannot be inherited again, otherwise my cousin would not have to start from the Tongsheng exam."

Bai Haoxuan looked at her for a while and shook his head and said, "Your Highness the Princess must have listened badly. Although my homework is not bad, it is still very different from being very good. Because I haven't read much of the books for the scientific examination. The Wen Shu I mentioned was to go to Wen Medical Book, and the second sister assigned me the medical book. As for what the princess said, Xuan'er would not participate, after all, she was not here."

Jun Changning blushed, and he didn't even get the spot when he flattered. But she never expected that Bai Haoxuan would not go on the official career and wanted to study medicine with Bai Heran. What's the matter?

Seeing that Jun Changning was embarrassed, Bai Xingyan couldn't just look at it, so he waved his hand and asked Bai Haoxuan to leave first. Then he said to Jun Changning again: "Your cousin is still young, and he has the final say on what to do in the future."

Jun Changning nodded, "Uncle said, it must be my uncle's decision to make such a big deal. Xuan'er is too ignorant."

Hong, who hadn't spoken much, heard this, but did not mention Bai Haoxuan, and said to Jun Changning: "The gifts the princess brought were counted out in the mansion. I asked the housekeeper to keep half of them. I will take them with you when the princess goes to Xiaobai Mansion later! Maybe the palace servant you brought was also confused. The gifts should have been left half, so how could it be given to the Duke Mansion?"

Jun Changning was stunned, "The courtesy is indeed for the Duke's Mansion! It's all my filial piety to my uncle." After saying that, he looked at Da Ye again, and then added, "There is also the eldest aunt." After saying that, he asked Xiao Ye again, "What am I going to Xiaobai Mansion? Do you want me to see my second uncle?" She shook her head as she said, "Although my second aunt is pregnant, I will not let a princess condescend to see her. In my heart, the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt are the first."

Da Ye smiled and said nothing, but Bai Xingyan understood the trick. He wanted to make a smooth move for Jun Changning, but he didn't snatch Hong's words-"Don't go to Xiaobai Mansion? Then isn't this a deception?"

Jun Changning was stunned. Why did he tell the truth to deceive the emperor? When did she bully her father?

"Madam Hong, don't talk nonsense." Jun Changning's face darkened, "You call Jun, that's my father. Why do I bully my father?" She specifically emphasized the word "father", which was to give Hong a warning to Hong and remind Hong's relationship with Jun.

Hong was not afraid of this, so she rolled her eyes and said, "You just said that you had a leave of absence from the emperor and the queen to visit my grandmother and my uncle. Now my uncle is visiting me, what about my grandmother? My grandmother is still living in Xiaobai's mansion. Didn't even give me some gifts to Xiaobai's mansion? The Sixth Princess still didn't forget to give all the gifts. After all, Immortal Kang was a fall for this."

When Bai Mingzhu was mentioned, Jun Changning became even more angry, but thinking about it again, Hongshi was right. If she didn't express it to the old lady, this matter was likely to be used by someone who was interested. She didn't want to end up like her mother, and she didn't want to ruin her plan because of this little thing. She came to the Duke's Mansion today not only for dinner, but she wanted to find a backer for herself, but came to see her uncle and aunt with a letter of fame. She couldn't let a little little Hongshi make the case.

So he turned around and ordered the palace servants who followed him: "Go and send the things to Xiaobai Mansion, and say that I respect the old lady." After that, he turned back and smiled at Hong, "Mrs. Hong is too worried. The things are already a portion of the grandmother. Maybe everyone in the Bai Mansion has almost taken them over. Now it would be better if they can separate them."

Hong also smiled: "It's fine if the Sixth Princess said it was OK. I don't care. Anyway, the Duke's Mansion does not lack those."

Jun Changning's face darkened again. She understood what Hongshi meant, because she thought the things she gave were not good.

The meal was not happy at all. People had their own thoughts and finally got to the end of the meal. Hong and Lin quickly left the flower hall and walked so fast that they disappeared without waiting for Bai Xingyan to say something.

Jun Changning snorted coldly. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything. It was Bai Haochen who stayed at the Da Ye family's instructions. After all, he was the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion and had to stay and entertain guests.

But Bai Haochen was a little dazed and had no sense of being so majestic before. He seemed to be asleep. He asked him to keep him, and then sat there without saying a word. He rubbed his eyes from time to time, drank a sip of tea, and encouraged himself.

Jun Changning really couldn't understand why this cousin became like this. She had seen Bai Haochen several times before, sometimes at a palace banquet, and sometimes Da Ye took Bai Haochen into the palace to pay tribute to the empress dowager. But every time she saw this cousin, she looked like a handsome man, and she could feel that extraordinary demeanor from a distance.

But now it’s completely different. Her eyes can’t be opened, she has no energy, her eye sockets are deep, her eyes are black, and she yawns from time to time. She wants to ask this cousin, how many nights have you been sleeping, as for what sleepiness is like?

Da Ye also saw something wrong with Bai Haochen, but Bai Haochen's condition had been around for a while. She vaguely felt that it was related to the plum fruit, but she could not get the exact evidence. In addition, Bai Haochen was protecting the plum fruit, and she tried to intervene several times but failed.

Bai Xingyan didn't know what happened between Bai Haochen and Mei Guo, and just thought that Bai Haochen might not have slept for several days, but for some reason he didn't sleep. So he slapped his face and scolded him a few words, and sent Bai Haochen to leave.

Finally, there were only three masters left in the flower hall, Bai Xingyan, Daye clan, and Jun Changning.

Who is Daye? He is the one who can observe the words and expressions. From Jun Changning, she could see that Jun Changning was definitely not just here for a meal today, she must have something to do.

But she didn't think that Jun Changning would have any major events. It was nothing more than that his mother had no hope and turned around and talked about alliance with the Bai family. She even disdained the Sixth Princess. After all, a powerless and powerful princess not only could not help the Bai family, but also might drag down the Bai family, so she was not optimistic about any alliance.

Because he was not optimistic, his attitude was also light. When Jun Changning proposed to discuss important matters and hoped to speak in another place, Da Ye said, "Don't you need to change the place, right? This place is pretty good. I wonder what the Sixth Princess wants to say?"

This is very clear. Don’t say it if it’s too private. We don’t like to listen to it even if you say it. In this kind of place, you can say whatever you can. It’s okay if you hear it. Relatives are relatives, but we really can’t help you.

Jun Changning looked at Bai Xingyan, and Bai Xingyan naturally had the same meaning as Da Ye, so he nodded: "Your aunt is right, Changning, just say something if you have something to do! Your mother is my real sister, and we relatives should do it."

Jun Changning shook his head, "This matter must not be said here." After she finished speaking, she stood up, took out a note from her sleeve and handed it to Daye and Bai Xingyan. "You two look at the content on this note and then decide where to talk to me."
