Bai Li listened quietly, deeply agreeing. Just as she was about to say a few words of her own, a cold voice suddenly came from behind her, "So you've had your eye on Wang Houde all along?"
Bai Li was startled and was about to turn around when she saw Lü Qiao's expression change, and she said with a bitter face, "Si Yi, let me explain..."
Si Yi was furious. He hadn't expected to hear Lü Qiao's heartfelt words as soon as he arrived.
If it weren't for Wang Houde's physical defect, she would have already set her sights on him. Where does she put him?
She married Wang Houde because he had a physical defect.
Thinking of this, Si Yi turned and left with a dark face.
"Si Yi!" Green Fairy cried out anxiously and quickly chased after him.
Bai Li shook her head and sighed, wondering whether she should follow and explain to Lü Qiao. Just then, she saw Wang Houde, who had just finished bathing, walking towards her from not far away.
She was delighted and was about to go over when she saw several palace maids appear out of nowhere and eagerly surround her.
"Eunuch Wang, this is a sachet I made. I hope you will accept it..."
"Eunuch Wang, Eunuch Wang, this is a handkerchief I embroidered myself..."
"These are the shoes I made..."
Back when he was in the Regent's Palace, Wang Houde had encountered similar situations before.
He was kind and gentle, and a confidant of his master, so there were countless people who wanted to curry favor with him.
Not to mention the maids in the mansion, even outside, many people try every means to curry favor with him, just so that he can say a few good words for them to their masters.
He was quite adept at handling such situations. He was about to say a few words to dismiss them when, before he could even open his mouth, a slender figure suddenly ran over quickly, pushed him aside, put one hand on her hip, and blocked his way.
"Eunuch Wang doesn't need your things, so take them away quickly." Bai Li glared at the palace maids with an unfriendly tone.
Several palace maids were somewhat indignant upon hearing this, but they all knew that she was a female guard by the Empress's side. Even though they were indignant, they could only quietly retort, "Eunuch Wang didn't say anything."
The implication is that Bai Li is meddling too much.
Bai Li was furious. Then she saw several palace maids turning their heads and looking around at Wang Houde behind her.
"We've already said he doesn't need it, why aren't you leaving?" She frowned, clearly angry.
“Guard Bai, you…you can’t really represent Eunuch Wang, can you?” a young palace maid said, mustering her courage.
“Who says I can’t?” Bai Li blurted out. “The Empress wants to betroth me to him, so of course I can represent him!” As she spoke, she couldn’t help but straighten her back, showing a hint of pride.
Several palace maids looked at her in surprise, then at Wang Houde, and finally, dejectedly lowered their heads, picked up their things, and left sullenly.
They also thought that Eunuch Wang was quite nice; he was fair-skinned and kind. If they could become his concubines, no one in the palace would bully them anymore.
Shirai is so lucky!
The young palace maids thought with great regret.
After the palace maids had gone far away, Bai Li turned to look at Wang Houde and muttered, "I didn't expect that a eunuch like you would be so popular." Her tone was a little sour.
However, she was glad that she had stumbled upon it, otherwise, if the palace maids had secretly taken Wang Houde away, he would have stopped giving her any good food.
Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Houde looked at her scrutinizingly.
Last night, when the Empress said she would arrange a marriage for the two of them, this girl was surprised and resistant. How come she brought it up today and even used this reason to send those palace maids away?
He suddenly couldn't understand her anymore.
Seeing his sullen face, devoid of any smile, Bai Li paused, frowned, and asked, "Are you unhappy that I sent those palace maids away for you?"
Wang Houde snapped out of his daze and shook his head. "No."
"Then why do you have such a long face?" Bai Li puffed out her cheeks.
Wang Houde paused for a moment, then tentatively reached out his hand to her.
Seeing this, Bai Li was puzzled, but subconsciously reached out her hand as well. Only when his broad hand grasped hers did she ask in confusion, "What do you mean? Why are you holding my hand?"
Seeing that she neither resisted nor struggled, Wang Houde's lips curled into a smile, and he suddenly asked, "You agree to marry me?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Li sighed, frowned, and said with a troubled expression, "If you weren't a eunuch, I would be very happy to accept it."
Wang Houde was taken aback and asked, "Why? Even if I'm a eunuch, I can still treat you well and take care of you."
Bai Li glanced at his crotch and said with distress, "I know, but I can't have a baby. I want a baby."
Wang Houde coughed, startled by her bold and direct gaze. After hearing her words, his handsome face flushed red, and he stammered, "You...you want to have a child with me?"
"Once you're married, you'll definitely have children," Bai Li said matter-of-factly, without the slightest hesitation.
She was clearly naive, but she didn't have the shyness of a typical young woman when she spoke or acted; she said whatever came to mind.
Wang Houde knew that this was related to the environment she grew up in.
She came from the Crimson Feather Tower and spent all her time with a group of assassins, which is why she developed her personality.
Before he could say anything, Bai Li sighed again and said, "I thought about it all night. I am actually very willing to marry you, but the fact that we can't have children always makes me feel a little regretful."
Hearing her constantly mention the words "giving birth," Wang Houde went from feeling uncomfortable to feeling at ease.
Because when Bai Li said those words, she was simply stating a fact; she didn't think of anything else.
"So what are your thoughts now?" he asked calmly.
Bai Li tilted her head and couldn't help but poke his chest with her finger. "I just thought about it. It's okay if you can't have children. We can adopt a child in the future."
After saying that, she couldn't help but feel secretly pleased with herself for her cleverness, thinking that the idea was excellent.
Wang Houde looked at her with amusement, "That's indeed a good idea."
"You think so too?" Bai Li's eyes lit up.
"Yes." Wang Houde nodded.
Upon hearing this, Bai Li grasped his hand in return, "Since you also think it's fine, then the matter of the child is settled. Let's go find the Empress to arrange a marriage for us now."
Before Wang Houde could say anything, she had already dragged him into the Luanfeng Palace in a flurry of activity.
It rained in the afternoon. The rain came and went quickly, but because of the rain, the temperature dropped a lot, and Wen Nongnong and her two children had a good sleep.
She had just gotten up when Granny Ding came in, smiling, and said, "Miss, Bai Li said she has something to ask you and is waiting outside."
