Chapter 209 Marriage Decree
"Also, you have been refusing to tell your family about your origins for some time. Could it be that... Fifth sister, how could you be so stupid... Even if it was the Third Prince, you couldn't..."

At this point, Bai Qianyi couldn't help sobbing and looked extremely sad.

But everyone heard some clues from her words. Although they were a little surprised about the relationship between the Third Prince and the new county lady, if...

Thinking of this, everyone looked at the two of them with a little strange eyes.

The two of them got together without any matchmaker or engagement. Although the Third Prince is of noble status, Miss Bai is too uncaring about herself.

Although everyone thought so in their hearts, no one dared to discuss it loudly at this time.

Seeing that no one present stood up to support her, Bai Qianyi's face looked a little ugly.

But he never stopped talking, and his eyes looking at Bai Qianxi were full of worry.

But at this time Bai Qianxi didn't want to pay attention to her. She looked at Ye Beiling with some strangeness and disapproval.

Didn't we already agree that we were just ordinary friends and nothing like that would happen? Why did you say these things in front of so many people?
Bai Qianxi completely ignored the pounding feeling in her heart when she first heard the other person speak.

At this moment, a loud shouting sounded.

"Princess Yueshu is here!!"

Everyone was silent for a moment. As the singing and shouting ended, a figure walked over. The first thing that caught the eye was the skirt woven with gold thread, followed by the tall and slender figure.

"Greetings, Princess!" Seeing the figure approaching, everyone stood up and paid their respects without any hesitation.

Bai Qianxi also followed the crowd and bent down slightly. She had already heard about the reputation of this eldest princess.

She was an extraordinary woman who was as capable as any man. The current emperor’s ability to sit on this position was inseparable from her help.

Although she has been living in seclusion since that incident, her fame has not diminished in the slightest because she rarely appears in public.

Of course, what interested Bai Qianxi the most was that since she met Ye Beiling, the other party had done things in the other's name several times.

From this, it can be seen that the two should have a good relationship.

Just as she was curious, a clear voice rang out, "Everyone, no need to be polite, get up."

Bai Qianxi only felt that the voice was vaguely familiar. When she looked up and saw the person's face clearly, she was stunned for a moment.

How come...it's her! ?
While Bai Qianxi was still in shock, Madam Cheng had already come to greet him immediately, "Your Highness, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I wonder what your Highness is here for?"

Not only her, but everyone present was curious.

"This person hasn't come out for a long time. I wonder why he came out this time? Could it be that His Majesty has something new..."

"Shut up! Do you think you can guess what His Majesty is thinking?"

No matter what this person came out for this time, it is definitely not because he was bored at home and came out for a walk.

Looking at the slightly reserved person in front of her, Yue Shu smiled and said, "Madam Cheng, there is no need to be polite. I heard that today is the housewarming party for your adopted daughter. I came here in a hurry today and I have not prepared any suitable gifts for Zeng. Please forgive me, Madam."

"Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. It is a blessing for my Cheng family and that girl that Your Highness can come here today." Mrs. Cheng carefully read the intention of the person in front of her. Judging from the other party's appearance, it seems that he does not come with bad intentions.

Seeing the careful look in front of her, Yue Shu smiled even more, "No, your greater blessings are still to come. I came here today not only to see you, but also to read out the emperor's will."

"This……"

Hearing this, Mrs. Cheng was shocked and knelt down immediately. The others also knelt down on the ground. Everyone was shocked.

I don’t know how Madam Cheng offended this prince, I just hope that they will not be implicated.

Seeing Madam Cheng's quick movements, Yue Shu's mouth twitched slightly, "Madam, there is no need to be so anxious, but since you want to know earlier, I will tell you."

Yue Shu's gaze involuntarily moved to Bai Qianxi who was kneeling beside her. Seeing her hiding behind the crowd, she saw through her little thoughts at a glance and did not expose her, but just smiled slightly.

He took out a bright yellow scroll with his backhand.

"Xuyang County Lord accepts the order."

"The Emperor of Heaven and Order decrees that I have heard that the Bai family of Dongli has a daughter named Qianxi, who is also titled Xuyang. She is both virtuous and talented, skilled and generous, and has outstanding appearance. Now that my son is the third, it is time to marry him, so I should choose a virtuous girl to marry him. Therefore, I will betroth you to the third son of the Emperor as his principal wife. All the ceremonies will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Supervisor of the Imperial Observatory, and we will choose an auspicious date for the wedding."

"I wonder what the county lord thinks?" After reading all the contents of the imperial decree granting marriage, Yue Shu did not hand it to Bai Qianxi immediately.

Instead, he asked with a smile.

This is her true identity...

Bai Qianxi sighed inwardly. It was only now that she truly accepted this explosive news.

It turned out that this had been her misunderstanding all along.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Ye Beiling's heart suddenly tightened.

Does she still want to refuse?
Thinking of this, Ye Beiling couldn't help looking at his aunt with a resentful look. Since there was an imperial decree granting marriage, why not give it to Xier directly? You have to ask this one more question.

What should he do if Xier rejects him again this time?
While Ye Beiling was feeling quite complicated, the smile on Yue Shu's face remained unchanged.

Based on her intuition as a woman, she believed that Bai Qianxi would definitely not refuse this imperial decree, but she didn't know why she didn't agree at the first time.

Could it be that this boy has made Xier angry again? Yue Shu's dissatisfied eyes instantly fell on Ye Beiling.

In this solemn atmosphere, everyone's hearts were also lifted up. They couldn't understand why His Highness asked this question after announcing the imperial edict.

But I think Her Highness must have her reasons for doing this.

I just don't know why this Miss Bai Wu is so ungrateful. His Highness has shown her so much respect, but she is still standing there motionless!
Some people stared at the glaring imperial decree granting marriage and wished they could just go and snatch it away!

Among them, Chu Yingruo's eyes were particularly jealous!
Why! Bai Qianxi was able to be married by the Emperor's uncle and become the third cousin's principal wife! Does this mean that she will never have another chance?

No, that's absolutely not possible!
As long as they don't get married, she still has a chance!
Looking at Bai Qianxi's motionless body, Chu Yingruo couldn't help but feel a little hopeful. It would be best if she could just reject the imperial decree of marriage.

As long as she refused today, she promised that she would never make things difficult for her from now on.

"Xi'er?"

Seeing that Bai Qianxi still didn't move, Yue Shu couldn't help but remind her.

Could it be that he was too happy to react?
Meeting her worried gaze again, Bai Qianxi instantly reacted to the current situation. She looked at the imperial edict in the other's hand and then looked at the other person.

Under Yue Shu's encouraging gaze, Bai Qianxi finally reached out and took the imperial edict.

"Your Highness obeys my command!"
