Chapter 73 Argument

As soon as Bai Qianyi opened her mouth, everyone's attention was naturally drawn to Bai Qianxi. There was nothing wrong with her outfit today, but compared with the outfits of other people in the Bai family, she looked much simpler and cleaner.

It goes without saying that Bai Yan was dressed in an official robe, but Bai Qianyi and An Shi, in particular, brought out almost all of their most valuable hairpins and rings. They were also dressed in flowing brocade, which reflected slightly under the light. They didn't look very noble, but instead gave off a feeling of nouveau riche.

"Do you think there's something wrong with what I'm wearing? Or has the emperor ruled that I can't wear this? Or does my sister insist that I wear the set you gave me? Since my sister likes it, why don't you go back and change it back and put it on while there's still time?" Bai Qianxi smiled, her eyebrows curved.

There is nothing wrong with her dressing like this, so why can't she wear it?
The clothes that Bai Qianyi sent yesterday were indeed made of expensive materials, and there was nothing wrong with other aspects. But the color and style made them look like something that an older married woman would wear.

"How dare you! Your sister is doing this for your own good, yet you dare to associate yourself with the Emperor!" Bai Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, and was instantly accused of being disrespectful.

Bai Yushu frowned at the side. Although he didn't like Bai Qianxi's attitude, he always felt that there was something strange about his family.

Bai Qianyi acted even more weak, as if she would fall down at the slightest breeze. "Sister, I don't know how I have offended you. Just tell me and I will apologize. But I really want to do good for you. If you don't appreciate it, then forget it. Why do you have to do this, this..."

As she spoke, Bai Qianyi choked up.

"My dear Yi'er, don't be sad." An also hugged Bai Qianyi at the right time, "It's all my fault as a mother. I thought I treated you two equally since you were young, but I was biased at times. This is why Xi'er has some grudges in her heart. This is not your fault."

Bai Qianxi just watched the performance of the mother and daughter quietly, to see how long they could last. She was not like the original owner. Even if the person in front of her hurt her deeply, she still longed for family affection.

"Alright, why are you crying on such a happy day? We are at the gate, hurry up and get in the car. If you delay, I will punish you!" Although Bai Yan was scolding everyone, his eyes were fixed on Bai Qianxi.

It was obvious that in his mind, of all people, the only one who had done something wrong was Bai Qianxi.

The carriage swayed to the gate of the palace, where a long queue had already formed. It seemed that many people had arrived early today. The Golden Wing Guards at the gate were maintaining order, and Bai Yulang was naturally among them.

The palace was magnificent and splendor everywhere. No one was allowed to use sedan chairs, so people had to walk on foot. No one dared to look at them for too long. After passing through a long alley, they were led to the Taihe Palace, where the celebration banquet was held.

According to the rules, men and women sit at separate tables, but there is no need to cover themselves too much.

The banquet had not officially started yet and there was no formality, but the hall was extremely lively.

"Wu Niang! Over here." A crisp voice sounded from the front. Bai Qianxi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Cheng Shaoyi waving at her with a look of joy on his face. "Wu Niang, come and sit down."

When Bai Qianxi saw this cute little girl, a smile appeared on her face and she nodded, "Okay."

The seat arranged for her in the palace was next to the Bai family. If possible, Bai Qianxi naturally didn't want to sit with these people. With Cheng Shaoyi's invitation, it was just the right thing to do.

Bai Qianxi had just stood up when Cheng Shaoyi came over with great interest to pull people over.

"Xier, come and sit in the middle." Cheng Shaoyi's seat was right next to Madam Zhao. Seeing her pull someone over, he smiled with relief and gave up his seat.

"Thank you, aunt." Bai Qianxi spoke politely. She was a person who would repay a grudge if she had one, and would always remember how good Madam Zhao had been to her.

"You kid, why are you thanking me? You're still so polite!" Madam Zhao held Bai Qianxi's hand and spoke.

During this period of time, she also tried to find out what happened to the child in the Bai family. Her eyes naturally revealed a sense of heartache. It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Bai Yan is simply unworthy of being a father!
"Come here, good boy, these snacks are made by the steward of the imperial kitchen himself. Eat more before the banquet starts." As he said this, he picked up a snack.

Bai Qianyi looked at this scene jealously from afar. Why could Bai Qianxi thrive so well here, while she could only sit here all alone!

"Mom, I feel a little uncomfortable. I'm going to go out for some fresh air first." Bai Qianyi looked around, holding the handkerchief that was about to be broken into pieces, and left despite An's attempts to keep her.

She just didn't believe that only Bai Qianxi could be appreciated by these noble ladies! She, Bai Qianyi, was not bad either!
On the other hand, Zhao Yiran was also very jealous of Madam Zhao's concern for Bai Qianxi, and she was unaware that she was about to bite her teeth off.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Emperor Dongli had just put down the pen in his hand. As the sky darkened, it was almost time.

"Deyu, what time is it now? How is the task I asked you to do going?"

"Your Majesty, it's almost noon." Upon hearing this, the chief eunuch Deyu immediately bowed his head and said respectfully, "I have already done what you asked me to do. The people from the Bai family are now in the banquet hall. Your Majesty will be able to see them when you go down."

I don't know why he would suddenly want to pay attention to a fourth-rank official. If it were just based on the merits of Erlang in the other party's family, he would indeed be remembered by His Majesty, but it is impossible to get such preferential treatment.

But as a servant, he doesn't need to know too much. He just needs to do what his master arranges. I just don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that His Majesty favors the Bai family?

Hiding his thoughts, Deyu became more respectful.

Emperor Dongli nodded slightly, his face expressionless, but he began to think slowly in his heart.

Bei Yi, that kid, has never been interested in women, but recently he suddenly started paying attention to a girl from the Bai family. Maybe he finally figured it out. I don’t know what charm this girl has that makes that kid treat her so differently.

They even allowed him to use his position to rescue people from the government.

I don’t know what kind of person that white girl is. I wonder if Bei Yi has been cheated.

Emperor Dongli thought about this and felt that it was possible. After all, the boy had never been close to other women except his aunt. What if...

However, if the girl from the Bai family is a good person in all aspects, he can put his mind at ease. Otherwise, he would be worried that the boy has not been close to women for so many years and may have some unspeakable habits.

"Let's go to Taihe Palace." Emperor Dongli called to the eunuch beside him.
