Li Changning’s body lurched when she was slapped. She quickly stood up and covered her face as she cried.
The red marks on her face immediately swelled like a small mountain. It could be seen that she had used a lot of strength.
Emperor Wu Xuan did not stop her. He had already regained his composure and ordered in a mighty voice, “The banquet continues.”
At this moment, Xiao Zheng had already brought over the sobering soup.
The amazing thing about this Cloud Fragrance was that one would be completely drunk after drinking it. The sobering soup and pills would both be effective. No one would be able to find anything.
Xie Xingyun sent someone to feed it to Bai Xianyu.
After a few rounds of drinking, the banquet only ended at seven o’clock.
As soon as the banquet ended, Ji Shuang went over to pick Bai Xianyu up and sent her to the Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor.
It was also after the birthday banquet that Bai Xianyu’s silver-white wide-sleeved flowing fairy dress became highly sought after, causing all the women to come to this shop to buy the ready-made clothes. The dresses she had asked Aunt Sheng to make were instantly snapped up. Even though the price was already very high, it was far from being enough.
“Young Master, you don’t know, but Miss gave me a blueprint and asked me to make them accordingly. She said that I would definitely be able to sell them. In the end, in less than half a month, this silver-white wide-sleeved flowing fairy dress became popular. The other shops did not have the blueprint, so they couldn’t gather such expensive materials in a short period of time. In just a few days, the revenue directly increased by several times. I’m afraid it’s equivalent to three months of revenue.”
Aunt Sheng was overjoyed and wrote a letter to Bai Mohuai.
Bai Mohuai sat on the chair and looked thoughtfully at Bai Xianyu, who was pouring rouge in the courtyard.
In the spacious and bright courtyard, there were a few exquisite porcelain pieces on the square stone table. Some bottles and jars had their lids removed and were casually placed. There was also an ancient book with more than half of its pages opened near Bai Xianyu’s seat.
Initially, he thought that she wanted to have some fun with it, and he had not expected her to really take it seriously. Moreover, she had done a good job.
Bai Mohuai returned a letter, telling Supervisor Sheng not to write such things to him anymore. Aunt Sheng was accustomed to it, so she had reported it.
After the birthday banquet that day, Emperor Wu Xuan refused to see Noble Consort An.
The latter could not sleep at night. Finally, after a day of court assembly, she “coincidentally” met him on the path which Emperor Wu Xuan had to pass. Her light muslin smoke dress was especially moving. There were all kinds of colors in the harem, but only An Rou’er was especially bold. After not seeing her for so many days, Emperor Wu Xuan’s anger had mostly dissipated. After accepting his grace, Noble Consort An lay in Emperor Wu Xuan’s arms and spoke.
“Your Majesty, it was Ning’er’s fault last time. Don’t blame her. She has already realized her mistake these days. She cries every day, afraid that you will ignore her.”
Emperor Wu Xuan frowned and relaxed. “How did you raise such an unruly personality?”
Although his words were harsh, Noble Consort An was good at reading people’s expressions. She immediately saw that Emperor Wu Xuan’s heart still ached.
She rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, “I was also willful when 1 was young, but later on, I met you, Your Majesty, so I restrained my temper. Isn’t Your Majesty only in love with me now?”
Emperor Wu Xuan suddenly smiled. “You’re pushing your luck.”
Noble Consort An knew that she was almost done coaxing him, and only then did she feel at ease.
“But… you’ve reminded me that Ning’er is coming of age now. It’s time for her to be betrothed.”
Noble Consort An’s heart skipped a beat, and she said casually, “I think Xingyun is not bad. What do you think, Your Majesty?”
Emperor Wu Xuan thought of Eldest Princess Jing An’s words and said with a frown, “If Ning’er and An’er meet, I’m afraid there will be no peace in Yun’er’s residence. Yun’er is unparalleled in intelligence and can take on a huge responsibility. If he is distracted because of the back residence, it will affect my Great Kui.”
Noble Consort An was indignant. “But…”
“However, in half a month, the Daqing envoy and their second prince, Mo Linyuan, will come to the capital.” Emperor Wu Xuan pondered for a moment and said seriously, “I heard that this child is very extraordinary. If he’s compatible with Ning’er, he’s not inferior to Yun’er.”
Noble Consort An was startled, and her voice trembled slightly. “Your Majesty… you want Ning’er to enter a marriage alliance for peace?”
“They’re here for the fortresses on the border this time. They’ll stay for at least two months. During this period, I’ll get a group of princes and princesses of the right age to entertain them.”
Emperor Wu Xuan glanced at her. Although Emperor Daqing did not specify, for the negotiation between their two countries, they had always only sent envoys and had never sent a prince. This meant that Daqing also had the intention to form a marriage alliance. They were just testing their Great Kui’s attitude. If he did not agree, Daqing would not have lost face..
