The dinner was held for the generals who had destroyed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and for the three generals who had surrendered. It was a celebration banquet and a welcome banquet. It could be said that the scale was larger than before.
Gingguo didn't rest all night. In the early morning, he asked Yulan to bring the chessboard over, and the chess pieces fell on it one by one, diverting his mind.
The old lady asked Ni Dairou to find portraits of girls from various houses, and also told everyone in the family not to disturb Gingguo. Ni Dairou was worried that she would not be able to see Gingguo if she had recovered before. She was also worried that her daughter had not prepared the clothes and jewelry for the dinner, and her whole body felt hot. The ant on the pot wanted to call Magnolia over for questioning but was afraid that no one would be guarding Ginkgo.
In the afternoon, as it got closer to entering the palace, Ni Dairou became more and more restless. She got up and was about to go to Ginguo's courtyard to take a look, but first she saw Gingo, who was dressed as a princess and served as a princess, coming to her.
"Mother." Bai Guo saluted, and then looked at Ni Dairou with confusion, "Why hasn't mother changed her clothes yet?"
Ni Dairou didn't know what to say when she looked at Ging Guo's expression, which was not much different from usual. The nanny next to her interrupted with a smile, "The princess is getting more and more beautiful! The old slave almost didn't recognize her when she walked in from the door!"
Ni Dairou was pulled into the inner room by her nanny full of doubts. While she and the maids were changing Ni Dairou's headdress and clothes, she advised: "Madam, just listen to what the old lady says. The old lady will never harm the princess." of."
Ni Dairou was still worried, "Although Zhenzhen and Pang Yang have nothing to do with each other, they grew up together. If Pang Yang gets married, will she think too much about her inability to get married?"
Mammy sighed, "Madam, the princess is still waiting for you outside."
Ni Dairou immediately stopped thinking about it and let a few people dress him up.
Bai Guo was sitting in the hall waiting, and saw Bai Mingsong, Bai Minghui, Bai Mingzhi and Bai Minglei, who were already ready, coming over.
"Third sister, why did you come here secretly and didn't wait for us?" Bai Mingzhi took a few steps forward, hugged Bai Guo's arm and lay on the chair next to her, watching Bai Guo accuse.
Bai Guo was helpless, "I thought I would always see you when I came to mother's place, but who knew you would go find me first."
Bai Mingzhi didn't say it was because they were worried about Ging Guo, but Bai Mingsong next to her said directly, "I heard that my grandmother asked my mother to visit the girl's house for General Chizhong?"
Bai Mingzhi looked back angrily, wanting to bite Bai Mingsong a few times to vent her anger.
But Bai Guo responded as always, "Well, grandma said... Brother Pang Yang's parents are also willing."
"Today my grandmother asked my mother to invite General Chi Zhong's parents. They should be here tomorrow." Bai Mingsong said this because he wanted to tell Bai Guo that the matter would be formally discussed tomorrow, so he was not willing.
Bai Guo smiled and said, "Of course it's good."
Bai Mingzhi looked back at Ging Guo, but some of the differences she could see in the past were not noticeable today.
It was as if he was really sincerely wishing.
Bai Minghui frowned slightly, "Is General Chizhong willing?"
Bai Guo shook his head, and Bai Mingzhi's eyes lit up, but she heard Bai Guo say: "I haven't told Brother Pang Yang about this yet, so I don't even know about it."
Bai Mingzhi's eyes widened.
This was the first time she learned from her third sister that she still knew something about General Chizhong, but this matter was still so important!
Neither Bai Mingsong nor Bai Minghui spoke again.
Some things have been said before. Although I didn’t know that this accident would happen, but...
But the honor of the three families cannot be ruined by one person.
Because there were Bai Minghong and Bai Mingshao at home, the old lady decided to stay.
Bai Yutang went to the palace early to confirm whether everything was normal at the imperial hospital, and to confirm that if an accident occurred at the banquet, their imperial doctors could handle it in time, so Bai Guo and others did not have to wait for Bai Yutang.
Therefore, after Ni Dairou changed his clothes, several people followed him into the palace.
Outside the palace, all the ladies got off their carriages at the palace gate and entered the palace together. As soon as Bai Guo's carriage stopped, he heard a muffled voice outside saying, "Mrs. Bai's family has begun to show the girl to General Chi Zhong. Your family Isn’t the second girl’s haircut hairline just right? Has the portrait been sent to Bai’s residence?”
Another voice replied: "I sent it in a long time ago! The portraits of the three nieces from my mother's family were also sent in! There are not many such good husbands. No matter which girl is chosen, it will be good!"
Even, Gingguo can feel a lot of rouge smell starting to approach.
It's like a pack of wolves seeing a sheep and scrambling for it.
"The Emperor has an order! Princess Kangle is not feeling well and is unable to get off the carriage. Princess Kangle and her family are specially allowed to enter the palace in a carriage!" The little eunuch had been waiting at the door early. When he saw Bai Guo's carriage, he shouted loudly. Yes, the surroundings seemed quiet for a while.
Ni Dairou was about to get off the carriage and hesitated.
Would it be too ostentatious to enter the palace in a carriage?
"Mom just obeys the emperor's order." Bai Guo lowered his eyes and spoke. Ni Dairou thought the same, and ordered outside: "Let's go."
The carriage left under the sight of many ladies, leaving everyone looking at each other, and determined to send their daughter to General Chizhong.
Based on the friendship between General Chizhong and Princess Kangle since childhood, the benefits that his daughter will get from marrying him will only be more, not less!
In the carriage, Ging Guo, whose eyes were lowered, was slightly distracted.
How come she...
I've already made up my mind, so why...
Ging Guo slowly exhaled to wake himself up a little.
Outside the main hall, Ging Guo was helped out of the carriage by Yulan, and followed Ni Dairou and his two brothers into the main hall.
All kinds of gold, silver, treasures and utensils everywhere looked as dazzling as the sky against the backdrop of candles and candles. Many ladies and officials gathered here and there, wearing luxurious and decent clothes.
Ni Dairou's appearance was quickly noticed, and the ladies who were still together began to come to Ni Dairou one after another. With the light in their eyes, Ging Guo knew what they wanted to say without having to speak.
"Mother, I'm going over first." Gingo took a step back and left the surrounded center.
Bai Mingsong and the others saluted without hesitation and left together. However, they only took a few steps before they were stopped by their classmates to talk together.
Bai Mingzhi originally wanted to accompany Bai Guo, but after seeing Ni Yu, her eyes glowed green, and she went over without hesitation and started asking about things on the battlefield.
Because of his status as the princess, Ging Guo was in a higher position, but no one with high status came so early, so it seemed that Ging Guo was the only one in this area.
Bai Guo sat calmly on her knees, seemingly ignoring the world, but in fact only she knew that she was distracted.
So when someone suddenly appeared next to him, Bai Guo realized that he was a little surprised when he looked over. It was Xuanyuan.
She became the daughter of the crown prince of Zhou Kingdom and a true royal princess.
Compared with the last time, Xuanyuan's face was even paler, an unhealthy and sickly pallor, but his behavior was much more rational than before.
"Princess Kangle." Xuanyuan saluted Bai Guo.
Ging Guo nodded and stood up to salute as well.
She is older, and as the princess, she can accept the courtesy of the younger princess.
But she is not of royal blood.
Xuanyuan's almond-shaped eyes looked tired in the blink of an eye. She sat down next to Bai Guo and said, "Entering the palace with a carriage is an honor that only belongs to this princess."
Bai Guo nodded, knowing what she wanted to say.
But what Xuanyuan said later was: "But you deserve this honor."
Bai Guo was a little surprised that these words came from Xuanyuan's mouth.
Xuanyuan glanced at the various people in the commotion and then looked back, "Only you are different. The world they see is... pitiful."
Gingguo saw the ladies surrounding Ni Dairou in the crowd. With a polite smile on his face, he pulled the girl next to him forward.
In the past, Bai Guo would have taken it indifferently, but now she was a little envious when she saw those girls trying their best to express themselves, "Being able to choose what you want and knowing what you want is the best."
Xuanyuan smiled disdainfully, "What you want? Choice? Just a chess piece in the family, fighting for honor, power, and everything for the family."
These words summed up more than just the girl here. Bai Guo somewhat understood why Xuanyuan suddenly talked to her.
"My princess is seven years old this year, and my mother-in-law has already made a marriage agreement with her nephew, who is one year younger than my princess." Xuanyuan's face showed a sarcastic and lonely smile, "Father agreed. "
"But... I don't want to get married so early." Xuanyuan looked at those people again, "I don't want to be like these people, competing for favors with women who are not as good as myself, and competing for the rights in that small mansion. manage."
Xuanyuan's tired eyes looked at Bai Guo, and her eyes lit up little by little, "I want to be like you and do what I want to do. I regard the mountains and rivers of Zhou Kingdom as my own. Leave your name on the painting! Let the world admire you...cough cough...cough cough cough...cough cough cough cough..."
Xuanyuan coughed badly. The palace maid who was far away quickly stepped forward and fed the pill to Xuanyuan's mouth. Xuanyuan pushed her away, her eyes were red and said: "Get out!"
The palace maid stood up and backed away with her head bowed.
Xuanyuan gasped, raised her head and forced away the many eyes that were looking at her, and said: "Look, look, those eyes are fixed on this princess. They want to find something to talk about, but they also want to They are appreciated by this princess and want this princess to support their family!"
Xuanyuan started coughing again, and Ginguo sat still and didn't help.
After a while, Xuanyuan finally regained her breath, but she no longer had the strength to sit. Xuanyuan moved a little closer to Ginguo and leaned against Gingo with her remaining strength.
"I hated you very much before. I hated you for taking away the honor of the princess and everything I had..." Xuanyuan laughed, "It was my mother-in-law who told me. The princess took back these honors, and at the same time, she kept giving me medicine, which made me unable to get out of bed... But she spent more time seeing her father, and she was very happy. "
Xuanyuan laughed again, "But my father still had another woman. She cried every day and gave me medicine to make me vomit blood. She said it was that woman who did it. At first, my father punished her, and then... later... I haven't seen her for a long time. She made an appointment for the princess, and her father only asked someone to pass the message. She stopped crying later, and she concentrated on teaching the princess's younger brother. She said that she still had a son, and that woman would always be with him. It's impossible to get past her...she has a son, what about this princess?"
