Chapter 215

Bai Xian guessed that the emperor was reluctant to give up his beautiful baby princess to marry Wan country, so he held a banquet so that whichever expensive girl the two princes of Wan country could marry directly. Thinking of this, Bai Xian was in a cold sweat.

Murong Zheng's thinking jumped off. What if he deliberately chose to marry himself in order to destroy himself? Bai Xian clenched her handkerchief. If she knew so, she should show off more in front of the emperor and let the emperor know her value at least, so that she would not regard herself as a goods and can be chosen at will.

Bai Xian, who was very regretful, didn't know what to do. He walked back and forth in the house. Maybe the second prince didn't play as much as he showed. At that time, in order to make a smooth marriage, he would choose the daughter of an important official of the imperial court, rather than a daughter like himself without family power.

Bai Xian, who was already flustered and didn't know what to do, received the news from housekeeper Li later. Of course, the news should be from Shaoyue. The emperor only invited the women's families of officials below grade three and above grade five to the banquet.

Bai Xian, who got the definite news, is really unable to laugh or cry at the moment. Perhaps in the hearts of men, women can never compare with power and status.

Early the next morning, Mu Bingqing dressed up as an ordinary woman and entered Bai's house from the back door. This time, the Emperor didn't post to the Ding family, and it was difficult for the Ding family's dependents to participate. Thinking of his niece left unattended, Ding Wenhao, Duke of Jingguo, specially asked his wife to appease Bai Xian.

Looking at the aunt dressed up to see herself, Bai Xian, who didn't feel wronged, suddenly couldn't help crying and cried with Mu Bingqing's arm.

Mu Bingqing, who has always been calm, saw the poor Bai Xian and shed a few tears. When Bai Xian's crying face was spent, she gently advised: "xian'er, good boy, don't cry, spend your face."

As early as when my aunt came in, Bai Xian took off her mask. In this changeable Luodu, the Ding family is the one she dares to face with her true face. She wiped the tears on her face and said, "aunt, I don't want to go to the chrysanthemum feast. The second prince of Wanguo has been unkind to me. I'm afraid he will have to choose me and his relatives in front of the emperor."

Of course, Mu Bingqing didn't want the baby niece she just recognized to be selected by the people of Wan. She didn't know the entanglement between Murong Zheng and Bai Xian. She calmly analyzed and said, "xian'er, don't panic first. Your uncle told me that although the Emperor didn't entrust you with an important task, she still knew that you were different from ordinary women. If the second prince chose you, the emperor should stop."

Bai Xian didn't think the situation was as optimistic as they thought. If the emperor really thought she was a talent, he wouldn't invite her to the chrysanthemum feast, so as to avoid the embarrassment between Dayin and WAN after she was really selected.

In other words, the emperor really got into Murong Zheng's trap and began to doubt what business he had with Wan state. Bai Xian's eyes turned and she thought it was quite possible.

However, there was no need to let his aunt know these things so that they would not worry. Therefore, Bai Xian tried to look like she had been eliminated by Mu Bingqing: "OK, aunt, I listen to you. I think the Emperor may not have invited me specially, just because I just meet the requirements of their choice."

Mu Bingqing actually loves her niece. She knows that Bai Xian must have suffered a lot a few years ago. Of course, she doesn't want her to be selected by the prince of Wan country. Looking at Bai Xian's gorgeous face, she is somewhat glad that Bai Xian has been wearing a mask in front of people.

"Xian'er, you must wear a mask. Since the women who went that day have no prominent family background, the second prince will probably choose a beautiful one, as long as you don't let him see your true face."

In fact, since she came to Luodu, Bai Xian even wore a mask when she slept. She only took it off when she took a bath every day and touched it with water. After taking a bath, she put it on again immediately.

Of course she understood her uncle's meaning, but Bai Xian didn't think the second prince was such an easy person to give up. Since he first saw himself, he wanted to destroy himself with tricks. Bai Xian didn't know what the second prince would do this time.

Bai Xian hid her anxiety and sent Mu Bingqing away from the back door. Then she went back to the room to look for the clothes she would wear tomorrow. Since it was not a formal Palace Banquet, she didn't have to wear any gorgeous clothes. Bai Xian had a big head when she thought of enjoying flowers with a group of ladies tomorrow.

She found out a light yellow skirt. It was plain and clean. She didn't even have embroidered flowers. Bai Xian touched the skirt with satisfaction. The chrysanthemum was yellow. It was easy for her to hide in case of any danger. Thinking of the chrysanthemum feast, Bai Xian sighed leisurely.

I hope the second prince is a visual animal. Just choose the most beautiful woman in the field tomorrow as his wife. Bai Xian was upset. She put her skirt on the bench and lay down on the bed to sleep.

Perhaps it is to understand that no matter what you do, it is impossible to influence other people's thoughts. Bai Xian soon fell asleep. After entering the sweet dream, a dark figure suddenly turned over the window and came in. He went straight to Bai Xian's bed. His finger gently touched her face. He noticed something wrong. He wanted to get closer and heard a sound outside the window.

The shadow hurried away from the back window, and the whole Bai mansion was calm again.

Early the next morning, Bai Xian, who had a good sleep, felt radiant. She put on the yellow dress she had prepared yesterday and asked Ziyun to comb her hair in a bun. She only inserted a hairpin. She didn't wear any earrings and bracelets. She ate early and slowly. So she got on the carriage and went to the Juyuan outside the north gate.

Maybe it's because there are too many women invited today. The carriage is still a mile away from the gate of Juyuan. It's blocked on the road. It's a small road leading to Juyuan. Bai Xian felt that the carriage hasn't moved for a long time and gently lifted the curtain to look forward.

A GUI was worried about Bai Xian's anxiety and explained, "master, it seems that two carriages collided in front and blocked the road. Everyone can't go forward."

Bai Xian listened attentively and could hear the sharp quarrel of several women not far away. Alas, she rubbed her forehead and sat back on the cushion. Anyway, everyone went to the banquet. I think those women should move forward after the quarrel.

Sure enough, after a while, the road was unblocked. When Bai Xian got off at the gate of Juyuan, he heard some people whispering: "just now, the daughter of Li Shaoqing of Taichang Temple crashed the carriage of sister Zuo Yushi. When he goes to the court next time, he will participate in one."

"Who doesn't know that Zuo Yushi's sister is unruly. If Zuo Yushi hadn't been upright, it's estimated that someone who doesn't like her would have punished her."

"I guess Miss Zuo must have seen Miss Li look much better than her before she deliberately quarreled with Miss Li and wanted to waste time."

Although Bai Xian knew a lot of official news, she didn't know much about Luodu's family. Looking at several expensive women in front of her, she kept talking about other family's private affairs like a rural aunt, she felt very bored.

Ignoring the scrutiny from around, Bai Xian walked towards the chrysanthemum garden.
