Prince Rong and Princess Rong stood in the narrow corridor. This was the first time they were so quiet and peaceful since their quarrel.
At that time, Princess Rong wanted the betrothal gift from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to Bai Zhirou, but she was severely scolded by Prince Rong, and there was a big rift between the two of them.
When Princess Rong saw the small patio and the rotten and dilapidated pillars, she thought about how terrible it would be if Xia Yuning had grown up here!
Her beloved Yu Ning should have lived a life of luxury since childhood, instead of living in this stinking Bai family!
Prince Rong also had the same idea, but he thought more about the crown prince.
After this trip to deal with the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor will definitely look at him differently and hope that he will not disappoint so many people.
And Concubine Li, he has been away for so many days, will she miss him?
Does she miss him as much as he misses her?
Even if two people sleep in the same bed, they have different dreams.
One is thinking about another woman, and the other is only thinking about his adopted daughter.
Xia Yuning didn't want to live here even more. She felt uncomfortable all over whenever she thought about staying in this smelly little village and dealing with villagers who didn't take a bath for several months.
When she looked up, she saw the children peeking out of the door, and her face became very stiff.
They were wearing patched clothes, and their faces, hands, and even necks were dirty. She felt like vomiting.
She hurried back to her temporary residence, closed the door and retched violently a few times.
She doesn't want to stay in such a dirty place for a moment!
No, she can't stay here any longer!
She told Princess Rong all her inner resistance and disgust, her eyes were red and she sobbed softly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Princess Rong comforted her softly again, just like coaxing a child.
Unlike Xia Yuning's resistance, everyone in the Bai family was filled with joy, except for Bai's father and mother, who had a hint of sadness between their brows.
Because they knew that their biological daughter would not stay with them.
Bai Zhirou returned to the village and brought gifts for everyone. This time she was no longer a country girl from Xiaohe Village, but the Princess Mingzhu personally appointed by the Emperor!
Everyone wanted to kneel down and salute her when they saw her, but she stopped them.
Everyone looked at her with eager eyes, which made Bai Zhirou feel warm in her heart.
The night was hazy. Bai Zhirou had just returned from outside. Before she could hide the smile on her face, she saw several people sitting at the table.
There were two tables for dinner, one at Prince Rong's Mansion and one at the Bai family's. Bai Zhirou tacitly went to the Bai family's table.
"This kind of plain food is really hard to swallow." Xia Yifeng was the first to throw down his chopsticks. "It just so happens that I sent someone to the largest restaurant in town to buy some food. We'll eat there later."
When he said this, Bai's father and mother looked embarrassed. They had already taken out the best things in their home to entertain the guests, but they didn't expect that the guests from the capital would be so mean!
And Xia Yuning didn't say a word for them!
"Today I have broadened my horizons. It turns out that there are people who can act like a playboy better than me!" Chen Zhao said as he picked up some food for Bai Zhirou.
Xia Yifeng immediately wanted to stand up and compete with Shen Zhao, but was scolded by Prince Rong.
I couldn't even enjoy the meal.
The next morning, the group was originally going to leave, but the village head and several elders wanted Xia Yuning and Bai Zhirou to burn a stick of incense to their ancestors before leaving.
Xiaohe Village has produced two noble people in succession, it is truly the blessing of our ancestors!
Although Xia Yuning was extremely unwilling in her heart, she reluctantly agreed when she thought that she would never have to come back here again after burning this incense stick.
Princess Rong wanted to stop it, but was persuaded by Xia Yuning.
"Mother, Yuning doesn't want to be criticized, so it's reasonable for her to burn a stick of incense to her ancestors." Xia Yuning looked around gently, quickly passing by Bai's father and mother.
"Sister Yu Ning is kind-hearted. It would be a great blessing for the ancestors of the Bai family if they were to receive your incense!" Xia Yifeng crossed his arms, his words full of pride.
Xia Yuning blushed at what he said.
The group walked towards the Bai family ancestral hall in a mighty procession. Everyone on the way looked around curiously, but no one dared to get close.
Normally women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, but Bai Zhirou is now a princess, and Xia Yuning is the adopted daughter of the prince, so both of them have extremely noble identities.
So today, the heavy door of the ancestral hall slowly opened for the two of them.
For such a ceremony, everyone in Prince Rong’s Mansion was waiting outside.
In the center of the square patio is a large vat as tall as a person, which is used to collect rainwater. In the lobby behind it is a large table specially used to place memorial tablets.
On it were placed the tablets of the Bai family's ancestors, and the table in front was used to place offerings and incense burners.
Bai Zhirou took the incense from the oldest elder in the clan, bowed respectfully, and then inserted the three incense sticks steadily into the incense burner.
Everyone saw the wisps of smoke interweaving into a thick bundle of smoke, floating straight up!
This is something that has never happened before!
Even the most knowledgeable elders of the tribe opened their mouths in surprise.
"This is because the ancestors of the Bai family have received the incense from the Bai girl! And they are very satisfied with the Bai girl!" Shen Zhao proudly puffed out his chest.
When it was Xia Yuning's turn to burn incense, an accident happened. First, the incense could not be lit.
After finally lighting it, Xia Yuning took it and inserted it into the incense burner, and it broke immediately.
Xia Yuning pinched the hem of her skirt irritably, praying that this crappy ceremony would end quickly!
"Tongzi, Xia Yuning is really interesting! The ancestors of the Bai family must be attracted by her!" Bai Zhirou started chatting with the child-bearing system again.
"Host, don't you wonder why?" The reproductive system asked secretly.
"Yes, why is that?" Bai Zhirou asked, but the childbearing system was offline again, without even a period to tell her.
The ancestors of the Bai family did not accept the incense offered by Xia Yuning. She made a fool of herself in front of so many people and looked at Xia Mingyang with a flushed face.
The three Xia Mingyang brothers came forward and burned incense for her.
Seeing this situation, the elders of the clan did not pursue Xia Yuning's matter anymore.
After all, this matter concerns the nobles in the capital. How many of them have the guts to challenge these nobles!
After Bai Zhirou and the others left the ancestral hall, the news of the two of them burning incense spread.
This now completely confirms that Bai Zhirou is a lucky star who has descended to earth.
It is also said that Xia Yuning does not want to recognize her ancestral roots, so the ancestors of the Bai family naturally will not accept her incense.
When Princess Rong heard about this, she comforted him again.
"These country folk are the most ignorant and foolish, and cannot be taken seriously. Yu Ning, you are my most beloved daughter, and this will never change." Princess Rong said in a resounding voice.
Bai Zhirou was still immersed in the words of the childbearing system, and she began to guess Xia Yuning's purpose against her.
