"Since you know that your servants cannot be taught a lesson by others, what's the point of your bodyguards teaching me a lesson now? Are you, the Ming Kingdom, deceiving me and depriving me of the Beast City?" Madam Bai was not being unreasonable at all.
There is no need to talk nonsense with this kind of person, and Su Qing rarely talks to her.
Just when she was about to say harsh words, Bai Shaoshu stood up and smoothed things over: "The marriage can still be discussed, mother, please don't be angry. Princess Anle, my mother held a banquet to invite you over today. In fact, I just wanted to talk to you about this matter. It's just that.
My mother is straightforward and cares about her daughter, so she had some unnecessary misunderstandings with Princess Anle."
Su Qing didn't want to stay, and in this situation, there was no need for her to stay. But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Bai Shaoshu: "Hey, why should the princess be angry! I came all the way from Beast City.
I don’t want to make an enemy for myself, but the princess may as well sit down and the dishes we prepare will never disappoint the princess.”
He has been kindly asked to stay, but if Su Qing continues to refuse to give him face, he will really make an enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
"Since Mr. Bai said so, I, the princess, will stay."
Bai Shaoshu smiled and said: "Princess, please. Ling'er, come and accompany Princess Anle."
He whispered: "Don't mess around in front of the princess."
"Yes." Bai Ling'er is very obedient now, and she looks like two different people from the domineering girl she met in Yaowang Valley that day.
After everyone left, Shaoshu Bai looked at Mrs. Bai disapprovingly: "Mother, are you really going to make trouble at Su Qing and Baili Yu's wedding?"
Mrs. Bai gave her son a hard look before sighing: "Otherwise, what can we do? Bailiyu said that it all depends on Su Qing's wishes, but Su Qing disagrees. You saw that your sister is willing to respect her.
As a sister, she doesn't give any face to your sister."
Mrs. Bai felt distressed as she spoke. How could her precious daughter be so wronged?
"It is Ling'er who is really causing trouble. How will she deal with herself in Kyoto in the future? Have these mothers thought about it?"
How could Mrs. Bai not have thought about it, but what could she do: "Look, who just poked my daughter in the spine!
"Mother." Bai Shaoshu said helplessly: "Why don't we let Bailiyu fail to marry Su Qing?"
This...but they are not married yet, how to destroy it?" Mrs. Bai's eyes were full of heartbeat.
Bai Shaoshu passed the exam and whispered a few words in Madam Bai's ear. Madam Bai's eyes lit up immediately when she heard it, and she looked at her son with admiration: "You still have a way, you boy, when did you arrange it?"
"We don't need to take action, we just need to cooperate." Bai Shaoshu's eyes flashed with a sinister look. His appearance at this moment did not have the elegance of the elegant gentleman before, he was simply a sinister villain.
Seats were already placed in the inner courtyard. After Madam and Su Qing finished speaking, they invited everyone to sit down not long after.
The banquet was very simple, just some fruit snacks and fruit wine. Since we were appreciating paintings today, there was no meaty taste.
More than a dozen calligraphy and painting tables were placed on the scene, and when everyone was seated, Mrs. Bai said: "I'm inviting you all to the banquet today. Actually, it's because my daughter will live in Kyoto in the future, so the old woman made this arrangement for her.
You all have become familiar with my little girl."
Naturally, there were many people who praised Bai Ling'er. Mrs. Bai smiled with satisfaction, as if she was enjoying her stay as the Queen Mother.
She asked Bai Ling'er to unfold a painting: "This is a picture of a farmhouse painted by Master Huiqin during his lifetime. Today the old woman put it on the stage. If anyone wants to get this painting, you may wish to write a poem, calligraphy and
The poems are all outstanding, so the old woman gave this painting to this person."
As soon as Mrs. Bai said this, 90% of the people were eager to give it a try.
Mrs. Bai saw that everyone was so enthusiastic about the paintings she took out at random, and her vanity was very satisfied: "Everyone, everyone, there are only twenty seats. Come one by one."
After saying that, Mrs. Bai looked at Su Qing with a smile: "Is the princess interested in giving it a try?"
This woman is also good at pretending. She was so noisy before, but now she is very kind.
It was okay that she didn't speak, but as soon as she spoke someone immediately said, "I'm afraid Princess Anle is not good at this."
"If Princess Ying Ning was still here, we wouldn't dare to show shame for this painting. It's a pity that some people don't let go of their own sisters."
Mrs. Bai was very satisfied when she heard that no one in Kyoto wanted to see Su Qing, but when she saw that Su Qing was being talked about, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Su Qing stood up and said with a smile: "Madam, you are kind, but I have several copies of Master Huiqin's paintings, so I won't snatch them from them."
Su Qing didn't care about the things they snatched from his head. Those who couldn't stand Su Qing turned green in the face.
"Princess Anle, according to the competition rules set by Madam Bai, you can't rob me even if you want to."
A familiar male voice sounded, and Su Qing looked over and realized that Cheng Shishi was actually here today.
Rong'er frowned and looked at each other with Qing'er: "Cheng Shishi? The eldest princess will let a concubine of hers attend such a banquet?"
Qing'er whispered: "I'm afraid the eldest princess can't control it."
Su Qing looked at Cheng Shishi and said, "Concubine Cheng comes out on top and then you can blame others."
But she saw Shangguan Yan was there.
In addition to his medical skills, Shangguanyan also read poetry and books, and was a famous talent in Beijing.
"Huh!" Cheng Shishi snorted coldly, looking at the painting, thinking about how to write a poem.
Seeing Su Qing's eyes looking around, as if looking for someone, Rong'er lowered her head and asked, "Miss, the third prince didn't come today. He was sent to the palace by the emperor this morning."
"Well, I'm not looking for him."
"Then who is Miss looking for?"
Su Qing said: "Ya'er. Beast City invited all the younger people in Kyoto this time, but why didn't I see Ya'er?"
"As a princess, Princess Ya takes care of the emperor in the palace and helps the concubine take care of things in the harem. How can she have such free time!" Qing'er said, subconsciously glancing at Baili Shou who had such free time.
As the second prince and the son of Concubine Xia, Baili Shou should have worked harder.
But he enjoyed in vain the respect of the people of the Ming Dynasty and the eternal glory of a prince, without doing anything for the people.
Qing'er has known intrigues all day long, and Qing'er really feels that Baili Shou is not worthy of everything he enjoys now.
Because Baili Shou had been looking for opportunities to win over the Duke's government, of course, he was also silently paying attention to Su Qing's every move during this banquet.
Now the girl looking at Su Qing looked towards him, thinking that Su Qing and the others were talking about him.
His body trembled involuntarily, and he felt ecstatic in his heart. After staring at it for so long, he finally found an opportunity.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could take this opportunity to make Su Qing fall in love with him, let her break off her engagement with Baili Yu, marry him instead, and gain the power of the Duke's government?
