Princess Mingzhu rarely listened to music of this style, so she couldn't help but froze in place, glaring at Princess Miya.
But who will win or lose, everyone already has the answer in their minds. Even if Princess Miya doesn't make a sudden decision, Princess Mingzhu will not become a dazzling pearl.
Bai Ling simply danced a dance of ethnic minorities, and unexpectedly laughed out loud as he thought of something.
"Haha! This Princess Jixiang is indeed a talented woman, and she does not disgrace her status as a princess." The emperor saw it wonderfully, but he didn't notice Princess Miya's little tricks.
The harem is a place where there are fights, and his daughter is too naive and stupid.
Moreover, there are always ladies from famous families vying for beauty at palace banquets, so it is not unusual.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Bai Lingfu saluted.
People in the audience praised Bai Ling for her agile dancing. No matter how unconvinced Princess Mingya and Princess Mingzhu were, they knew that the matter was settled at this point.
Jin Zhengyu's expression was not very good. Seeing Princess Mingzhu still looking at Bai Ling angrily, he lost all his face and could only say:
"I have long heard rumors that Princess Jixiang is an extraordinary woman with both talents and virtues. When I saw her today, she was indeed extraordinary. This dance was wonderful for Princess Jixiang."
"It's Princess Mingzhu Qianyi." Bai Ling replied calmly.
"Since it's a competition, you should be lucky if you win. Princess Jixiang showed me several wonderful things today, and she got so many rewards. This time I will reward you with a special one. Jixiang, what do you want?
I will reward you with something."
When Bai Ling accepted the princess of the small country, the Eastern Han Dynasty also accepted the invitation of the Nanwan Kingdom. It was rare for the emperor to be generous.
On the other hand, everyone else had their own thoughts after hearing this. Some people felt that the emperor was too lenient to Bai Ling, while others were curious about what Bai Ling would say.
After getting off the stage, Bai Ling kowtowed respectfully, raised his head and said:
"Returning to the emperor, I have just recently learned that the princess's marriage will be judged. I am bold and ask the emperor to grant me an imperial edict that allows me to choose a good son-in-law if I am free.
On the one hand, the courtier is incompetent and dare not bother the Queen to worry about such a trivial matter; on the other hand, the parents of the family said a few years ago that the marriage of the children in the family needs their own approval in order to live a long life, and the courtier does not want to violate the blessings of her parents.
I beg the Emperor to grant it!"
No one thought that Bai Ling would make such a request, even the emperor was stunned.
Not to mention in public, even in their own homes, women rarely dare to talk about marriage.
"Princess Jixiang doesn't want to bother the Queen, or does she not want to? A royal marriage is a great honor, but you are being pretentious." The imperial concubine sneered.
"My daughter is terrified."
Bai Ling kowtowed again, but in the direction of the queen, he said respectfully:
"The Queen is a queen and the mother of the people of the world. I am extremely blessed to be cared for by the Queen. I wonder why the Queen has such thoughts?"
After saying this, Bai Ling looked at the imperial concubine with a puzzled look.
The imperial concubine squinted her eyes and looked at Bai Ling. She didn't expect that she would dare to ask herself, how should she answer?
"I just asked casually. You didn't think about it that way, so you just answered it directly." The imperial concubine, who has always been favored, said slightly aggrieved.
"I think Princess Jixiang's words are reasonable. Although it is my duty to choose a son-in-law for the princess, the princess's parents are enlightened and set an example as parents. They also want their children to have a happy life.
.What does the Emperor wish?"
The queen looked down upon the imperial concubine's tricks, but instead spoke in favor of Bai Ling.
"In this case, I will give you an imperial edict granting you freedom of marriage." The emperor said.
"My lord, thank you for your kindness." Bai Ling kowtowed again, but this time he was willing.
Concubine Xiao and Princess Yayang were both relieved. They did not expect that Bai Ling would have such an opportunity and were not worried about her marrying far away.
There was a smile on Shangguan Yu's lips. His little girl had solved a problem without knowing it. After the palace banquet, he should remind her not to be used secretly.
However, Princess Han was a little depressed. She originally wanted to propose marriage today, but now she couldn't do it.
Since Bai Ling left the show, the palace banquet seems to have lost some interest, or the program is lackluster.
Bai Ling became the biggest beneficiary of a birthday banquet held for the Queen Mother. The emperor didn't know why, but he only granted marriage to one couple. The two ministers had privately requested it, and they had already planned a marriage.
Bai Ling invited Baicao to go with him for a while, and then sent Baicao back to Yang's carriage. But after walking for a while, Shangguan Yu jumped onto the carriage.
"It's so late, why don't you go back and rest?" Although Bai Ling was a little surprised that Shangguan Yu would come, he had no intention of chasing them away.
"Ling'er is so versatile, I didn't know until today." Shangguan Yu had an expression like "I'm not happy without special treatment."
"I'm being forced to go to hell. I can't have stage fright in front of so many people, can I?"
Bai Ling poured a cup of hot tea for Shangguan Yu, and the bitterness in his eyes disappeared.
In order to train her to become a socialite, her mother in her previous life arranged various courses so that she had almost no private time.
Now I have to thank those boring lifestyles for not being embarrassed today.
Bai Ling quickly put away his thoughts, leaned on Shangguan Yu's shoulder and said:
"It's really tiring to attend the palace banquet. It's not just physically tiring, but also mentally tiring. Everyone speaks with a sharp edge. I don't know how I offended them."
"Because my Ling'er is so outstanding, they are jealous." Shangguan Yu said 'to the point'.
"Yeah, I think so too." Bai Ling yawned. He was used to going to bed early and getting up early, so he couldn't bear to stay up all night. "You came to see me, but something happened?"
"I miss you." Shangguan Yu said affectionately, holding Bai Ling in his arms and letting her lean more comfortably.
"Well, this is necessary." Bai Ling nodded.
"Does Ling'er miss me?" Shangguan Yu asked.
"I think about you when I have free time, and you know I'm very busy." The implication is that I don't have much time to think about you.
"Ling'er asked for the imperial edict today, which saves you unnecessary trouble. I didn't want to tell you and upset you, but now I want to remind you to pay attention."
Shangguan Yu didn't want to say who had designs on Bai Ling, so he told them off.
"There will be many people approaching you during this period, Ling'er, be careful. I will send more people to protect you in secret."
"Am I that good?" Bai Ling was stunned for a moment and then understood what Shangguan Yu meant.
"Ling'er has extraordinary medical skills, knows how to make money, and has a good reputation. Today, he is even more in the limelight. The most important thing is that he does not have a mother to rely on. If he marries anyone, he will definitely help him with all his strength.
As a crown prince, if there are a few more women like Ling'er in the backyard, I might be closer to that seat."
Shangguan Yu sneered and hugged Bai Ling a little tighter.
"But Ling'er doesn't have to worry, my husband will clear everything for you and prevent you from getting hurt."
"The royal family is indeed very complicated. Fortunately, although you are the crown prince, you are not a member of the royal family. Otherwise, I would really reconsider."
Bai Ling yawned repeatedly and didn't take this matter seriously.
"I originally planned to go home, but now I have to leave as soon as possible. Shangguan, I can't accompany you anymore, don't blame me!"
"In your heart, am I so useless?" Shangguan Yu was very hurt and played with Bai Ling's fingers, not wanting her to fall asleep. (To be continued)
