As soon as Magistrate Bai and his daughter left Prince Rui's residence, Bai Ying couldn't wait to speak.

“Father, His Highness Prince Rui is exceptionally brave and handsome, and I am fond of him.”

Why didn't Father mention his request for his daughter to stay and take care of Prince Rui?

The princess is in confinement after giving birth and is unable to serve the prince. This is a perfect opportunity for our daughter.

Even though Magistrate Bai was only a minor official of the seventh rank, he was still quite perceptive.

"Ying'er, this matter should not be rushed."

Didn't you see that Prince Rui told us to keep it short? He cares a lot about the Princess and the son they have.

"If I dared to suggest you stay today, I doubt either of us would get away with it."

Bai Ying was very unhappy.

"Father, you must help your daughter find a way. Your daughter is determined to marry Prince Rui."

My daughter doesn't ask for the position of principal wife; she just wants to be a concubine by the prince's side.

"When my daughter gains favor in the future and gives birth to a son, my grandson, he might even be able to contend for the position of heir apparent."

These two men were quite carefree; while others might not have heard, the coachman could hear everything clearly.

He thought to himself, "These two are really dreaming in broad daylight."

If Prince Rui were someone who would take just any woman, would he have waited until he was so old to become a father?

The father and daughter inside the carriage were having a dream, while the coachman outside the carriage scoffed, thankfully the Prince Rui's residence wasn't too far from the government office.

Otherwise, the drivers would all get facial paralysis.

Back in the backyard of the yamen, Madam Bai quickly came out to greet the father and daughter.

Upon learning that the princess had given birth, Madam Bai's eyes lit up.

This was practically God creating an opportunity for her daughter; she quickly ordered the servants to prepare all sorts of tonics.

After getting dressed up, she prepared to personally take her daughter to help Zhao Qinglin with lactation.

Upon arriving at Prince Rui's residence, they identified themselves and quickly received a reply.

"My lord and princess are too busy to receive you two."

However, my princess does indeed need these medicinal herbs. So, I'll accept the gifts.

Please leave, both of you.

Then, he looked at the two of them, his meaning quite clear, as if to say, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Madam Bai and her daughter never imagined that Prince Rui would be so shameless.

The belongings were taken away, but people weren't allowed to enter.

Once inside the carriage, Bai Ying started throwing a tantrum again.

"The prince is such a virtuous and upright man, he would never do something so tasteless. It must be that jealous woman, otherwise..."

Madam Bai shouted angrily, "Shut up! Are you out of your mind? Criticizing members of the royal family is punishable by death!"

Are you trying to get our whole family killed?

Bai Ying knew she was in the wrong.

"Mother, I'm just angry. You said you were going to give me those medicinal herbs as part of my dowry."

Now that they've sent him in, we can't even see him. Isn't this like throwing money down the drain?

Madam Bai nodded, "Mother knows too. It's already been given away, so there's no use feeling sorry for it now."

As for your marriage to the prince, I have a feeling it's unlikely.

If the prince had taken a liking to you before, he would probably have invited you in to talk just now. Now, your mother really can't guarantee that.

Coachman: Have some self-awareness! A whole family of idiots. How did that county magistrate even pass the imperial examinations back then?

The news of the Bai family mother and daughter's arrival was also relayed to the front yard.

Zhao Qinglin was quite surprised to learn that she had been given a century-old ginseng.

After listening to Prince Rui recount the entire process of Magistrate Bai's arrival, Zhao Qinglin was both amused and exasperated.

"Surely Prince Rui isn't short of a pittance, is he? Why did he accept their gifts but not give them a chance?"

Prince Rui was displeased with Zhao Qinglin's words.

"Give them a chance. If I give everyone a chance, then the harem won't just be occupied by the princess."

Don't say such things again; I don't like hearing them.

Zhao Qinglin said "Oh," and then asked, "What does Your Highness like to listen to?"

The Bai family's wishful thinking fell through.

However, a rumor gradually spread throughout the city that His Highness Prince Rui was about to marry Bai Ying as his concubine.

Wei Ying relayed the information to his son, the prince, whose life revolved solely around his wife and son. Prince Rui narrowed his dangerous eyes.
