The rising sun broke through the dark blue sky, like a burning fire wheel, and suddenly hit the horizon.
Bai Yinglin, who was used to getting up early, opened her eyes, which were as bright as the sea of stars. They were cold, solemn, noble, and inviolable...
Putting aside the unnecessary images in his eyes, he slowly looked at the morning light outside the window.
He blurted out "Feng'er".
That cute and lively face immediately appeared in front of Bai Yinglin. Bai Yinglin felt relieved, with a smile on her face, and her gentle tone echoed in the room:
"Feng'er, is today the Qingwan meeting?"
"Yes, miss."
"Then wash and dress me."
Feng'er nodded and helped Bai Yinglin sit in front of the dressing table. She had a faint smile on her face, and her innocent look was endearing.
"Miss, you are so beautiful." A hint of surprise and envy flashed in Feng'er's eyes.
Bai Yinglin saw through everything and smiled softly, "Feng'er is still as lively and lovely as ever even when she's beside me."
These words echoed in Feng'er's ears, and she felt that the lady in front of her was different from before.
In the past, the young lady would just blush and lower her head when she heard my praise, but now her expression remains calm and she even seems to be joking.
Thinking of the servant's arm in the mansion yesterday, she couldn't help but be shocked, but also happy. Only a young lady like this can be "consistent inside and out". Her cold and beautiful appearance with a rebellious feeling is even more attractive.
With perseverance and courage, the young lady will no longer be bullied like before.
Thinking of this, Feng'er was very happy for the young lady.
When Bai Yinglin saw Feng'er so happy, she realized that her behavior was a little different from the original owner.
I don't know much about this body, but one thing is certain, that is, this body is extremely weak.
But if you don’t change, who knows how you will end up dead.
…
Shenwu Gate Sishi
At this time, the streets and alleys were full of onlookers.
Orders were issued from the palace to maintain order in the city, and many common people leaned over the gaps between the guards to look at the noble families entering the palace.
The noisy sound makes people feel irritated from time to time.
The weather in April should not be hot, but at this time, the air seemed to be boiling, with heat coming out faintly, and many people were sweating.
Two rows of guards cleared a wide passage, and luxurious carriages arrived at Shenwu Gate one after another.
The young ladies and gentlemen from the aristocratic families in the car were only resentful of the noise on the street, but since the Qingwan meeting was of great importance, they had to endure it deeply.
The carriages entered the palace gate in an orderly manner, and bursts of voices continued to be heard from the crowd.
"I heard that this Qingwan Festival is a grand event for the princes to choose their first wives, and it's officially said to be celebrating the Queen's birthday."
"I don't think so. There must be something important going on in the Qingwan Society.
"Isn't the eldest prince the best candidate for the crown prince? And since Your Majesty hasn't appointed him yet, the queen must be feeling very bad."
"Brother, you have to be careful with what you say, otherwise..." A man wiped his neck with his hand sideways, his face looking extremely ugly.
The man who had just spoken lowered his head alertly and covered his mouth.
I can't lose my life because of a single word. I'm the only child in this family...
Bai Yinglin, who was sitting in a nearby carriage, lifted the curtain and heard a lot of whispers from the crowd. Her pink lips blossomed like flowers, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
The eldest prince? Interesting.
On the day I just returned to the mansion, Qing Peizhu also mentioned this person. Do they have similar feelings?
If so, then why is there no information about him in Bai Yinglin's memory?
…
Soon, the young men and ladies from various noble families took their seats.
Bai Yinglin slowly sat down in the seat behind Bai Yubin, with some contempt in her eyes.
A chilling gaze fell on Bai Ziruo. Lin Muwan and Bai Yubin were sitting at the same table, but Qing Peizhu did not sit in her seat.
It's ridiculous. As the wife of a prime minister, she doesn't sit next to the prime minister, but sits in an inconspicuous position. Is Qing Peizhu so cowardly?
A barely perceptible sneer drifted by.
Bai Yinglin's status is really low. The prime minister's legitimate daughter? Her status is not even as high as that of a concubine.
As Bai Yinglin sat down, many eyes around her fell on her.
Admiration, yearning, jealousy, contempt...
All the gazes were drawn just because of her face.
Bai Yinglin didn't care about the looks from the people around her and just curled the corners of her mouth.
That's what she wanted.
Looking around, Bai Yinglin had already sized up the people around her as quickly as possible, and then she retracted her gaze, gracefully picked up the cup of tea on the table, covered it with her sleeve, and took a sip.
His Majesty and the Queen had not yet taken their seats, so all the young ladies and gentlemen were not too reserved.
A lot of gossip from the surroundings drifted into Bai Yinglin's ears.
"The person sitting next to Lord Bai is probably the most beautiful woman in this city, Bai Yinglin."
"But the one behind Mr. Bai is obviously incomparable in terms of temperament and beauty."
"That's not right. Bai Yinglin is the legitimate daughter, so she should sit next to the Prime Minister. The seat behind her is for concubines. In fact, if a concubine or concubine's daughter is not favored, she has no right to sit here. No wonder no one knows what she looks like."
"You know too little about this. I heard that the daughter of the prime minister has never been favored, so the one sitting in the back seat is Bai Yinglin. I wonder if you have heard of this incident before?"
"What's the matter... wait, could it be that time when Bai... disappeared..." The vague image was still clear in the mind of the person who spoke.
…
When Bai Yinglin heard these words, she smiled with satisfaction.
It also makes the third room less scheming.
Those pure starry eyes turned towards Fengwei.
A noble and gorgeous golden phoenix robe attracted many eyes. The queen's eyes were full of fatigue, worry and sadness. Her face, which seemed to have been weathered by the wind and frost, had obviously aged a lot. No wonder, there was such turmoil in the harem.
Youth and beauty are a woman's greatest assets.
The queen smiled faintly, showing her grace as an empress, and this smile also showed that she was a friendly person.
After the Queen followed His Majesty to take her seat, she also took her seat.
"Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, and a thousand years and a thousand years of Her Majesty's life." A sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the hall.
"Stand up." His Majesty smiled, but he still had the dignity of an emperor.
The ministers thanked him and took their seats.
At this time, the hall became very tense, and many young ladies from aristocratic families sat upright, seeming to be trembling.
Eunuch Pu, who was standing beside His Majesty, started the banquet following His Majesty's eye signal.
The sounds of stringed instruments rang out in the hall, and in the center of the hall, dancers were dancing gracefully.
Her figure is light and charming, her waist is swaying, and she has a smile on her face. She dances freely in the hall like a butterfly.
