Chapter 1089 Could the Empress's surname be Feng?
Once the three members of the Bai family had left, Bai Yuhan winked mischievously and said, "Yuhan will also take her leave."
"Right now, all I want to do is send the old master back. If the Empress really goes to the Bai family as a guest, I'm afraid the Bai family will enshrine the stool the Empress sat on and write this into the Bai family genealogy. My grandfather is capable of doing such a thing. It's utterly shameful. But if I don't tell my grandfather the truth, or if he doesn't come tonight, the Bai family will definitely turn Zhang Zhifu's yamen upside down."
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "If you dared to steal grain and send it to me, you should have known that I wouldn't be able to sit peacefully inside. You've put Prefect Zhang in a very difficult position! I have no choice but to step in and help him out."
"I'm sorry, I've caused Your Majesty trouble again."
“It’s not a problem. If I’m going to set up the Imperial Merchants Bureau, I can’t avoid making a public appearance.” Jiang Fenghua then thought of another matter. “You just mentioned the Bai family’s genealogy. If it’s convenient, I’d like to see the Bai family’s genealogy.”
Bai Yuhan asked, "What does Your Highness need the Bai family genealogy for?"
Jiang Fenghua would of course not mention that it was related to the Yinchuan Kingdom a thousand years ago. She said, "It's purely out of curiosity. I think that each member of the Bai family has their own unique personality, and there must be outstanding talents among them. I want to recruit them into the Imperial Merchants Bureau for important positions."
Bai Yuhan was a little confused. "Your Majesty wants to give important positions to the Bai family, but you have seen what kind of people they are. They all scheme against each other, afraid of being taken advantage of. If it weren't for Grandfather stopping them, the Bai family would have already split up."
"Just go and tell your grandfather to bring the Bai family genealogy to see me tomorrow. I will definitely investigate whoever I want to promote." She was definitely going to use Bai Yuhan.
Bai Yuhan replied, "Yes."
When Bai Yuhan came out, she saw Wan Qianshan still standing outside in a daze. She said, "Young Master Wan, you haven't come back to your senses yet!"
Wan Qianshan was actually waiting for Bai Yuhan. He grabbed Bai Yuhan's wrist and said, "Wake me up. Am I really not dreaming about what's happening right now?"
After looking him up and down, Bai Yuhan suddenly stomped on the back of his foot, causing Wan Qianshan to clutch his foot and spin around several times in pain, crying out, "It hurts...it hurts...it hurts so much."
He murmured, "So Brother Ruan was a woman before. I'm not dreaming."
Bai Yuhan didn't understand what he meant. "Of course the Empress is a woman. A man can't be the Empress! You like men, and now that you've found out she's a woman, aren't you unhappy and disappointed?"
Wan Qianshan's mind was not on her words at all. His eyes were indeed full of disappointment. How come he hadn't realized that she was actually a charming young lady?
Now that he's grown up and is still so handsome, it turns out he wasn't homosexual at all, and the people he liked weren't men, but women.
After all these years, we've finally found the root of the problem.
Seeing him staring blankly like an idiot, Bai Yuhan said, "You've really become an idiot."
Wan Qianshan stared at Bai Yuhan and laughed like a fool. He held her shoulders, not treating her like a woman at all. "She's not a man. I knew she wasn't a man all along. So that's why..."
Bai Yuhan was even more confused, "So what?"
“Such a beautiful and graceful lady is the object of a gentleman’s affections,” Wan Qianshan said.
Bai Yuhan's ears suddenly turned red. "What nonsense are you spouting at me?"
These are the words men use to woo women; she was too embarrassed to say them aloud.
Seeing that her face was red, Wan Qianshan suddenly leaned forward and touched her cheek. "You're sick."
Bai Yuhan felt embarrassed and said, "You're the one who's sick."
After saying that, she turned and walked out. Wan Qianshan chased after her, "Bai Yuhan, why are you running? I have something to ask you. So, Brother Ruan is now Empress Ruan..."
Bai Yuhan glared at him, "The Empress's surname is not Ruan."
"If not Ruan, then what surname?"
"You don't even have the surname Ruan, and you don't even know the Empress's surname. Are you a citizen of the Great Zhou Kingdom?"
Wan Qianshan was stunned. "Of course I am a native of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a genuine Yuzhou native."
Bai Yuhan quickened her pace, too lazy to pay him any attention.
He shouted from behind, "If you don't tell me, I'll ask Feng Jiu or Prefect Zhang. They can't possibly refuse to tell me."
In this vast world, there are countless people who do not know the Empress's name, so it's not surprising that Wan Qianshan doesn't know, since he usually doesn't care about the affairs of the royal family.
However, the Feng family kept their mouths shut very tightly.
He asked foolishly, "Could it be that the Empress's surname is Feng?"
Bai Yuhan couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly stopped. Just then, Wan Qianshan also failed to stop and the two bumped into each other.
Bai Yuhan felt the chest of the person in front of her was very hard, like a stone hitting her forehead and causing a sharp pain. Wan Qianshan quickly supported her body, but his hand happened to be around Bai Yuhan's waist, and the two of them were in a very ambiguous position.
Just then, Aoxue and Hongxiu walked back and saw the two of them acting intimately. They stared at each other in disbelief, unsure whether they should interrupt.
Wan Qianshan also saw the two of them and quickly let go of Bai Yuhan. He explained in a relaxed manner, "Be careful, you almost made me fall down the steps. I saved you again, so you owe me a big favor."
After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving Bai Yuhan stunned on the spot.
Hongxiu approached her and teased, "Miss Bai, you're blushing. Are you embarrassed? Neither Aoxue nor I saw it, so you don't need to feel embarrassed."
"It was an accident. Don't tell Her Majesty the Empress, lest she misunderstand as well." Her heart was pounding. She really hadn't meant to do it. She didn't know how Wan Qianshan had run straight into her.
Hongxiu stopped laughing at her and placed the lantern in Bai Yuhan's hand. "The night road is not easy to walk, Miss Bai, please be careful. We will not see you out. There must be someone waiting outside."
Without saying anything more, the two headed towards the inner courtyard.
Bai Yuhan stood there, stunned, her mind still replaying the scenes of Wan Qianshan saving her twice.
She arrived outside the yamen, but the Bai family had already left, and the area was deserted. She muttered, "Grandfather really wants me to stay by the Empress's side. He took everyone away, not even leaving me a carriage. How am I supposed to go back?"
The gatekeeper just wanted to ask everyone to leave, close the gate, and go to sleep.
Bai Yuhan felt a void in her heart. At this moment, the yamen runners coldly closed the door. She said, "I just delivered grain to you. Can you send a cart to take me home?"
The constable called out through the door, "It's so late, Miss Bai, why don't you hitch a ride home?"
"Where can I find a ride-sharing service..."
Before she could finish speaking, the Wan family's carriage appeared in front of Bai Yuhan again.
Suddenly, Wan Qianshan lifted the car curtain and poked his head out, saying, "The ride-sharing is here."
He bribed the yamen runners.
Bai Yuhan's heart started racing again. She stared blankly at Wan Qianshan's face, unsure of what to say.
Wan Qianshan said, "Aren't you getting in the car? Do you want to walk home by yourself? It's not easy to walk at night, and you might even encounter a ghost."
