The Imperial Palace.

The next morning, the second prince, Si Hui, entered the palace in high spirits and told his father about his newborn daughter.

“Father, yesterday there were extraordinary celestial phenomena. At dusk, two rainbows stretched across the sky, and the sky was filled with colorful clouds. The Queen Consort gave birth to her second daughter. I believe this is an auspicious sign, and I have come to ask Father to bestow a name upon her.”

The old emperor was already uneasy about yesterday's strange phenomena, but after the weather improved and his second son brought up this matter today, he was completely relieved. He was overjoyed and said, "Good, good, bestow upon her the name Feihong and confer upon her the title of First-Rank Princess."

Princesses and county princesses are divided into three ranks. A first-rank county princess is equivalent to a third-rank princess, which is the highest rank among the imperial grandchildren.

"Thank you, Father!"

"We'll take Xiao Feihong to the palace for a visit after the full moon."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey."

"Your Majesty, why didn't you inform me of such a wonderful event?" A beautiful woman in red palace attire walked gracefully over and leaned against the emperor as if she had no bones.

The beauty looked to be only in her early twenties, with a slender frame, delicate skin, and a figure so light that a gust of wind could blow her away. Yet, her fair chest was so full that it seemed ready to burst out.

The second prince, who was standing to the side, was so shocked by what he saw that he quickly lowered his head.

"My beauty, I was just about to tell you, and here you are."

"I knew Your Majesty cared about me," the beauty said with a charming smile.

As they were talking, the fourth prince also entered the main hall.

The second prince's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile, "Fourth brother, you've arrived so early today?"

The fourth prince smiled and said, "I came to visit my mother. I heard that my second brother had some good news, so I came along too."

The red-clad beauty on the throne smiled and said, "Xian'er is the most thoughtful. He never forgets to show filial piety to me when he gets something good. He is such a good child."

After speaking, she looked at the handsome and imposing fourth prince with seductive eyes.

The fourth prince understood immediately, lowered his head and smiled, "It's all thanks to Mother's guidance."

The beauty clung to the emperor's arm and shook it, saying, "Your Majesty, won't you reward Xian'er?"

The old emperor was so happy he was almost delirious: "My beloved concubine, what do you wish to reward me with?"

"Your Majesty, Xian'er's residence is too far from the palace. It takes more than an hour to travel there and back. Could you grant him a residence so that it would be more convenient for him to enter the palace?"

“This…” The locations of the various princely residences are generally quite far from the imperial palace. Granting a residence as a reward is a small matter, but causing unfounded speculation is a big problem.

The old emperor wasn't really senile; he hesitated for a moment.

"Did I say something wrong?" The beauty covered her face and cried sadly. "I'm so stupid. I've been in the palace for so long and I still don't understand anything. I said something that made His Majesty feel embarrassed. I, I..." She sobbed.

The old emperor immediately felt extremely distressed: "Reward, reward, reward! I did not say it was not allowed. Fang Gui, you take the fourth prince to choose, let him live in whichever one he likes."

Fang Gui immediately bowed and went to do it.

The beauty then smiled.

The emperor laughed heartily and embraced her as they returned to the inner palace. The crown prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince, who arrived a little later, did not see the emperor.

When the princes learned of what had happened that morning, they were all filled with regret. The second and fourth princes had both gained favor with their father, while they had fallen behind once again. The crown prince, looking at his brothers who each had their own thoughts, then glanced towards the direction of the inner palace with a furrowed brow.

The gatekeeper received an invitation from the Third Prince's residence, stating that the Princess Consort would be visiting her family in a month, and that the Bai residence should prepare to receive her.

Everyone in the Bai household was immediately excited and began to happily tidy up.

From the perspective of cultivators, imperial power may be considered worthless, but within the Great Xia Dynasty, imperial power remains the most powerful force.

Not only does it have cultivators within its ranks, but it also has the support of a super sect behind it. Therefore, both powerful clans and cultivation families will give face to the royal family, not to mention a declining family like the Bai family.

Behind their backs, countless people say that the Bai family is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Among them, the First Madam Zhang had the most complicated feelings. She understood the significance of this visit to her family, but she did not expect the Third Prince to be so impatient.

Originally, Zhang wanted to temper Bai Chongjiang's temperament, and once she was tamed, she would fatten her up like a pig and send her to the Third Prince's residence.

But she didn't expect it to come so quickly. Bai Chongjiang's appearance... She stomped her foot and had no choice but to bite the bullet and prepare.
