Chapter 1278: Conferred the title of Princess Herui
"You damn girl! What on earth do you want to do? Do you even know what you are saying?!"
The second wife of the Bai family was in a mess and just wanted to wake her daughter up.
Princess Linghua was also shocked.
She didn't expect that Bai Shuqing actually had such thoughts.
No wonder he jumped in to save people without hesitation...
At this moment, not only Princess Linghua was stunned, but many people present were also stunned.
The news that Prince Xiao was asking for Tang Bao's hand in marriage had already spread throughout the capital.
Even ordinary people knew about it, let alone the people present.
Many people were in the paddock and saw the live version with their own eyes.
No one expected that these words would come out of Bai Shuqing's mouth.
Bai Shuqing knelt on the ground, enduring her mother's beatings while crying, "Your Majesty, Prince Xiao is an envoy from Northern Qi. If something happens in Dayan, even if it's no one else's fault, it will definitely affect the relationship between Northern Qi and Dayan, and may even lead to war."
"This time, despite the risk to my reputation, I dived into the water to save Prince Xiao, motivated by a greater good. Although, as a woman, I cannot serve the court and achieve great things for the country, I have often listened to my parents' teachings and know that while one person's actions may be minor, the affairs of the family and the country are greater... I am willing to do my best to maintain peace on the border and maintain the stability of the country..."
Bai Shuqing spoke in an orderly manner, elevating his act of jumping into the water to save people to the level of national justice.
In this way, not only can she save her own face, but she can also seek welfare for the Bai family and her parents.
It has to be said that Bai Shuqing's background is there after all.
Although she is usually spoiled and willful, she is not stupid.
At critical moments, the truths are also spoken very beautifully.
Following Bai Shuqing's words, the expressions of those who originally looked at Bai Shuqing with sarcasm changed.
They didn't expect that the fifth daughter of the Bai family would jump into the water to save people for this reason, regardless of her own reputation.
They are not violating morals, they are doing it for the sake of their country and family.
A hint of appreciation appeared on Emperor Tianxi's face.
He laughed heartily and said in a loud voice, "Great! The Bai family has a good way of educating their daughters. My Dayan has gained another heroine!"
After saying this, his expression straightened up, and he continued, "Daughter Bai's Shuqing, please listen to the seal!"
Bai Shuqing quickly said, "Your Highness is here!"
"Daughter Shuqing of the Bai family is a man of great righteousness and has made great contributions to the country. She is specially canonized as Princess Herui and granted marriage to Prince Xiao of Northern Qi. The wedding date will be chosen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the emperor!"
Bai Shuqing touched the ground with his head and kowtowed deeply.
Tears fell down in strings.
The second wife of the Bai family: "..."
His body swayed, his vision went dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the maid next to him managed to hold him up.
"Bai Chenshi is waiting for the title!" Emperor Tianxi looked at the second wife of the Bai family and said again.
It seemed as if he hadn't noticed that the second wife of the Bai family looked shaky and about to faint.
Logically speaking, the second wife of the Bai family is also the cousin of Emperor Tianxi.
Emperor Tianxi knew roughly the temperament of the second wife of the Bai family.
As for the character of the second master of the Bai family, Emperor Tianxi knew him even better.
He is mediocre, idle, philandering, and not doing his job properly. He is just an uneducated and unskillful playboy.
Therefore, Emperor Tianxi did not believe what Bai Shuqing said about what her parents taught her.
How could his cousin and his wife be the kind of people who understand the big picture?
But who is Emperor Tianxi?
Can't you understand what Bai Shuqing means?
I couldn't help but look at my niece Bai Shuqing with a different eye.
Bai Shuqing took the initiative to kneel down and beg for marriage, which solved a big problem for Emperor Tianxi, so Emperor Tianxi was naturally happy.
With Bai Shuqing, no matter how unwilling Prince Xiao was, he could no longer ask for Tang Bao's hand in marriage.
What's more, in order to elevate Bai Shuqing's status, Emperor Tianxi directly conferred the title of Princess on Bai Shuqing.
Emperor Tianxi doesn't have to choose between Bai Shuqing and Tang Bao.
In this way, Emperor Tianxi was also happy to be generous and give the Bai family some honor.
"Ms. Bai Chen has raised her daughter well, so she is specially canonized as the First Rank Lady of Respect for the State..."
Following Emperor Tianxi's words, the second wife of the Bai family couldn't express her feelings.
This daughter was not born in vain, as she earned the title of a first-rank lady.
She finally surpassed the eldest lady in rank.
However, this was exchanged for his daughter's lifelong happiness.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
As the second wife of the Bai family spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes.
She didn't dare cry out loud so that the emperor wouldn't see her, so she could only keep her head down.
Bai Shuqing did not stand up. He knelt on the ground, turned around, and kowtowed to the second wife of the Bai family.
"I'm an unfilial daughter and I'm sorry, mother. Wuwu... I'll marry far away and won't be able to serve you. Please forgive me, mother. Wuwu..."
Bai Shuqing sobbed as she spoke.
"You silly girl... wuwu... you are tearing out my heart. What should I do in the future?" The second wife of the Bai family hugged her daughter and burst into tears, unable to hold back any longer.
She only had this one biological daughter, and she had raised her to be reckless since she was young. Who would have thought that she would end up being so willful and marry far away to Northern Qi? She was afraid that she would never come back in this lifetime...
The emperor has granted the marriage, and there is no change in the matter. The second wife of the Bai family is naturally well aware of this.
So, I cried even more sadly.
The second wife of the Bai family and Bai Shuqing, mother and daughter, hugged each other and cried their hearts out.
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
Forget it, just pretend I didn’t see it.
It stands to reason that crying in front of the emperor is extremely disrespectful.
The punishment could be beating with a stick at the lightest and beheading at the worst.
However, this is a special case after all, and the person is a relative of the emperor, so the emperor cannot make a fuss about it.
Emperor Tianxi tried hard to ignore the crying of the Bai mother and daughter and looked at Prince Xiao.
"What do you think, Prince Xiao?" Emperor Tianxi asked with a smile. "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that heroes save beauties and pledge their love to them. Although the situation has reversed now, Miss Bai is so righteous that she risked her life to save Prince Xiao's. I'm sure Prince Xiao will definitely repay Miss Bai for saving her life, right?"
Prince Xiao: "..."
You're asking him only after the decree has been issued?
Besides, could he say no?
If he refused, wouldn't he be ungrateful?
Prince Xiao felt a sore throat and a stuffy pain in his chest, and he felt uncomfortable holding his breath.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I, Xiao, will never forget the gratitude for Miss Bai's rescue. I will definitely marry Miss Bai as my concubine and live up to her kindness." Prince Xiao said gritting his teeth.
This time he came to Dayan, he lost both his wife and his army!
At this point, Prince Xiao had to admit this.
"Hahaha... Good! I knew that Prince Xiao is a man of integrity and will definitely be responsible for Miss Bai for life. This will also be a good story..." Emperor Tianxi said with a big laugh, looking particularly happy.
Prince Xiao grinned, but his smile was fake and his heart ached.
At this time, Hasu knelt down in front of Emperor Tianxi with a plop.
"Your Majesty, you just said that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body. Ha Su saved the life of the second young lady of Prince Rong's Mansion. Please, Your Majesty, grant us a marriage!" Ha Su said loudly and confidently.
