Dressed like a loser and went to raise a baby

Chapter 443: Looking down on the Ninth Prince
As soon as the hour passed, there was an endless stream of carriages at the gate of Nangong, coming and going.

After the ministers got off the bus with their wives and children, they saluted and said hello to people they knew well, and then walked to the palace together.

Officials of the fifth rank or above who celebrate the emperor's birthday can bring their wives and legitimate sons and daughters of the family to the banquet, but they can only bring two at most.

Some families with several legitimate sons and daughters usually have two legitimate daughters, and these legitimate daughters are all dressed elegantly and refinedly.The make-up is light and elegant, and most of them wear white costumes. This outfit vaguely looks like a cold concubine.

Nothing else, because the emperor likes beauties with the temperament of Concubine Leng. Although their beauty is not half as good as Concubine Leng, and the emperor does not want to draft concubines, but if she dresses up the way the emperor likes, what if she catches the emperor's eye?

This is also the purpose of most ministers bringing their legitimate daughters to the banquet. It is also good for two legitimate daughters to make the emperor like one.

Marquis Yong'an didn't bring any daughters this time. Both of their outstanding daughters had been embarrassed in front of the emperor. The emperor definitely looked down on them, so naturally there was no need to bring them. Bringing them would also be a joke.

The King of Chang'an and his wife brought their daughter-in-law and grandson with them. They would say to everyone they met, "Come and see my grandson. My grandson will be called grandfather."

Because of Prince Chang'an's face, he had no choice but to smile against his will and say, "Young Master is really cute, and he looks smart."

He thought to himself: "What is this? This little prince can catch snakes and drive away wolves, and then run away on the ground."

The King of Chang'an cherished his grandson very much. He hugged him all the way to the palace. After holding him for a while and feeling sore, he gave it to his daughter-in-law.

After being born for so long, Qi Lin's little feet have never touched the ground. Wherever he goes, he is either held by his wet nurse or his mother, Qin Ruyun.

Qin Ruyun really wanted her son to walk, but every time she wanted her son to walk, her mother-in-law and father-in-law would see her and say that the child's bones haven't grown well yet and walking at such a young age would hurt the bones.

The birthday banquet starts at noon, and those who come to the banquet can stroll in the imperial garden, or go directly to the east and west side halls of Changle Hall to rest.

The gentlemen and ladies, in small groups, strolled around the Imperial Garden.

The noble ladies usually wear elegant gauze white clothes. The late autumn wind is cool, and when the autumn wind blows, the noble ladies will shiver from the cold.

The young masters all knew that these noble ladies were imitating Concubine Leng's dress, and they all said in their hearts that they were trying to imitate others, and some looked down upon them.

I feel that only Concubine Leng in the world can wear white so elegantly. These noble ladies who imitate Concubine Leng are not as good as Concubine Leng.

Moreover, they were not dressed appropriately for the occasion. The birthday party was a wedding banquet, so it was really unlucky to see everything in white when they looked up.

Bai Zhenzhen also entered the palace with her parents today. Before May, she had been living in her grandmother's house. Her grandmother did not have a caring granddaughter. Seeing that she was caring, she asked her parents to ask for one and raised her by her side, under Cheng Huan's knees.

She had not been to the previous palace banquets because she had just returned to her parents from her grandmother's house. Her parents were afraid that she would not know the rules of the palace and make some jokes, so they kept her at home to learn the rules.

As soon as Bai Zhenzhen entered the palace, she went to find her sister with her parents and brother.

Bai Jieyu was wearing a blue luxurious rose dress and her hair was in a high bun with many gorgeous headdresses. She was very happy to see her parents, brother and sister.

"Zhenzhen has grown so big." Bai Jieyu looked at her sister-in-law, whom she had not seen for many years, and tucked her hair behind her ears.

She had met this direct sister before she entered the palace as a concubine!At that time, Zhenzhen was still a willful child.Bai Zhenzhen smiled at her sister, saw the bump on her face and said, "Sister, why do you have a bump on your face?"

On such a big day as today, my sister has a bump on her face. Doesn’t she want to be compared to other concubines?
Bai Jieyu touched the big bump on the corner of her mouth and said with a sly smile: "I was too busy and anxious to prepare the birthday banquet for the emperor, and I got angry."

It turned out to be like this. Bai Zhenzhen frowned when she looked at the bumps on her sister's forehead and at the corners of her mouth. She thought it might be because of the bumps, and her sister looked much uglier than before.

In the past, she always thought that her sister was the most beautiful person in the world, but now she saw that her sister's appearance was not even half as good as hers!

No wonder my parents asked me to perform well and strive to win the emperor's favor, so that I can support each other with my sister after entering the palace!My sister doesn't look good now, so naturally she can't hold the emperor's heart.

Bai Yushi looked at his eldest daughter and said, "I'm already looking for someone to buy the things you mentioned, and they will be delivered to the palace soon."

"Thank you, father." Bai Jieyu smiled and thanked her, and then invited her family to sit down and drink tea.

The whole family sat together and talked about each other. Bai Jieyu only left her most trusted people to wait in the palace.
After talking for a while, Yushi Bai got down to business, "Your sister is already fifteen, and she is of age to propose marriage..."

Hearing this, Bai Jieyu thought to herself: No wonder my sister was dressed so beautifully today. Her parents brought her to the palace for a banquet. They probably wanted her to show her face in front of everyone and choose a husband for her sister.

She had a candidate in mind, so she interrupted her father's words, "It's really time for Zhenzhen to see her husband. I have a candidate in mind."

After being interrupted, Bai Yushi closed his mouth and looked at his daughter, waiting for her to say who was the candidate in her heart?
"Who?" Madam Bai asked.

"Ninth Prince." Bai Jieyu said with a smile.As a younger sister, she can marry into the Ninth Prince's Mansion and become the principal concubine. In this world, apart from the emperor's concubine, the status of a princess is more noble.

"I won't marry that damn fat man." Bai Zhenzhen said with a disgusted look on her face, as if marrying the Ninth Prince was an insult to her.

Bai Jieyu's expression froze. She didn't expect her sister's reaction to be so big. How could she be wronged by marrying the Ninth Prince?

Bai Yushi's expression changed, feeling that the person his eldest daughter said was a bit outrageous, "Then the Ninth Prince is a dandy. Although he has a noble status, he is also a person who has no future in eating, drinking and having fun. From now on, he can only rely on half of the tax revenue from the fiefdom. You will live like this for the rest of your life." He would not marry his daughter to such a person.

Feng Chenghong, who was strolling around the Royal Garden, rubbed his itchy and warm ears.

"What's wrong?" Feng Chengjue asked him.

He wrinkled his nose and said, "My ears suddenly felt itchy and hot."

Fengcheng Jue smiled half-jokingly: "That must be someone speaking ill of you behind your back."

"There is still such a theory." Feng Chenghong frowned, "If I know who is saying bad things about me behind my back, I will definitely give them a slap in the face." He said and waved his fist fiercely.

"Ah, ah, ah..." Bai Yushi sneezed twice just after he finished speaking.

Bai Jieyu felt that her father's vision was really getting higher and higher. He even disliked the Ninth Prince, and he could only live on half of the tax revenue from the fief?The Bai family's year-round income is not even one-tenth of a state's tax revenue.

If he looked down upon the status of the Ninth Princess, what kind of favored man would he want to marry his sister to?
