Bai Yuncheng frowned and pondered for a moment. He said uncertainly, "Maybe … Prince Ding found out the identities of those people? Is that why he is unhappy? "Bai Yuncheng was also the head of the family. Naturally, he understood some taboos as a superior. Madam Bai sighed helplessly and said, "We have indeed thought too simply. The secret guards of Prince Ding's residence are well-informed. I'm afraid we can't hide it from them …" But she didn't know that if Prince Ding's residence wanted to investigate, they would naturally be able to find out. However, the few people sent by the Bai family were unlucky and happened to meet Mo Xiuyao's blade. They died mysteriously without even seeing him.
"Today, I went to visit Prince Ding and happened to meet the woman of the Sun Family." Thinking of Madam Sun's smile before she left, Bai Yuncheng's face became gloomier. Madam Bai's face also changed. Many noble ladies in the Emperor Of Xiling City had always looked down on Madam Sun. Perhaps it should be said that they were jealous of Madam Sun. As a woman, she could take charge of the family business like a man. When the head of the Sun Family was alive, there were no concubines in his room. Therefore, when the head of the Sun Family passed away, many women in Xiling City secretly gloated and covered their mouths to laugh. However, Madam Sun was not as down and out as they thought. Instead, she supported the entire Sun family with just a single woman and child, and even made the Sun family rise to a higher level than before. How could this not make Madam Bai, a woman who could only live in the backyard, hate and envy her?
"That woman … Why did she go to see Prince Ding? Could it be … "Madam Bai screamed.
Bai Yuncheng saw his wife's expression and knew that she had misunderstood. However, he was not in the mood to explain for Madam Sun. He just said in a low voice, "Prince Ding and Princess Ding have a good impression of Madam Sun. Princess Ding also promised to attend the Autumn Flower Festival in two days."
Madam Bai was not ignorant. She asked softly, "What do you mean, Master?"
Bai Yuncheng said in a low voice, "You go two days later. You must make a good impression on Princess Ding. Also … bring Ning 'er with you. "
"Master …" Madam Bai frowned as she looked at Bai Yuncheng. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to start with Princess Ding." Although she didn't know much about the outside world, Madam Bai was a woman after all. She naturally understood the thoughts of women more than a man like Bai Yuncheng. If they wanted to send the women of the Bai Family to the Prince Ding Mansion, they would not be able to do it through Princess Ding. Prince Ding and Princess Consort were deeply in love. Even after being married for many years, Prince Ding had never taken a concubine. No matter what, Princess Ding would not like a woman who wanted to enter the Prince Ding Mansion to fight for her husband.
However, Bai Yuncheng did not mind. "Madam, you're thinking too much. I also saw Princess Ding today. Although her beauty is outstanding, our Ning 'er is also not bad. Moreover, Princess Ding was born in the Xu family, which is also a famous family. How would she not know how to be a wife? Most women in West-Hill are arrogant and domineering. Our Ning 'er is gentle and obedient, so Princess Consort will naturally think highly of her. If Prince Ding wants to settle down Xi Ling in a short period of time, he will definitely need to marry a Xi Ling noble lady as his concubine to pacify Xi Ling's nobles. "The Bai family had many concubines in the past generations. The men were not really useless. At least in terms of how to seize the opportunity to send their women to the top, the Bai Family was quite knowledgeable.
The Mohist army had just taken over West-Hill, so it was inevitable that people were nervous. And Prince Ding obviously could not stay in the Emperor Of Xiling for a long time. Therefore, it was necessary to marry a West-Hill noble's daughter as his concubine to appease the people. In Bai Yuncheng's opinion, the most suitable candidate was the daughter of the Bai Family.
Madam Bai sighed helplessly. How could she tell her master? The more powerful a woman was, the more she could not tolerate other people around her husband. But thinking that her daughter was raised according to the standards of the Emperor's concubine, perhaps there would be no problem?
"Miss." The sound of a servant girl bowing came from outside the door.
Before she finished speaking, a beautiful woman in a colorful dress walked slowly into the hall and bowed to Bai Yuncheng and Madam Bai. "Ning 'er greets Father and Mother."
In terms of appearance alone, this woman didn't seem to be a heavenly beauty. At least she was inferior to Su Zuidie, who had also lived in the Bai Family. But she was comparable to Princess Lingyun. But her eyebrows were black and her red lips were slightly curved in a smile. Compared to Princess Lingyun's arrogance, it was easier for people to feel close to her. This woman was the only unmarried daughter of the Bai Family, Bai Qingning.
When Madam Bai saw her daughter, a trace of affection flashed through her eyes. She quickly helped her up and said, "Ning 'er, why are you here?"
Bai Qingning smiled and said, "I heard that Father had returned from visiting Prince Ding and Princess Ding, so I came to pay my respects to Father. Father, did you really see Princess Ding? " When Bai Yuncheng saw his favorite daughter, his expression softened. He nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, Father did see Princess Ding."
"Then …" Bai Qingning asked curiously, "It is said that Princess Ding is one of the greatest heroines in the world. What does she look like?"
Bai Yuncheng shook his head and sighed. "Princess Ding … is also a peerless beauty. Prince Ding is really lucky." Bai Yuncheng's words were not false. Most of the women in the world were weak. Perhaps some who could take care of the inner chambers well were already considered virtuous. Those who could interfere with the outer chambers were mostly unruly. As for those who could lead troops on the battlefield, in the eyes of the world, they were about the same as female rakshasas and female yakshas. And this Princess Ding, whether it was in the politics of the Prince Ding Mansion or on the battlefield, was quite impressive. What was even rarer was that she was born with an elegant, gentle, and delicate appearance. It was no wonder that Prince Ding treated her like a treasure.
Bai Qingning's eyes flashed and she said softly, "Then could it be that Princess Ding is even more beautiful than Aunt Bai Long?" Su Zuidie had stayed in the Bai Family for a short period of time. After that, Bai Qingning often went in and out of the palace and saw her a few times. She only felt that she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Even though she was proud of her appearance, she knew that she could not compare to her. Could it be that this Princess Ding was even more beautiful than her, and that was why Prince Ding was so affectionate?
Bai Yuncheng shook his head and said with a smile, "That's not true. Although Princess Ding is beautiful, my Ning 'er is not bad."
"Is that so?" Bai Qingning lowered her eyes and replied in a daze.
Bai Yuncheng looked at his daughter with satisfaction and ordered with a smile, "Ning 'er, go and prepare well. In two days, accompany your mother to attend the Autumn Flower Festival."
Bai Qingning was surprised, "Autumn Flower Festival?"
"That's right," Bai Yuncheng stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Ning 'er, aren't you curious about what Princess Ding looks like? In two days, Princess Ding will also attend the Autumn Flower Festival. Ning 'er can go and see Princess Ding. Isn't that great? " Bai Qingning's eyes lit up and she nodded with a smile, "Father is right. Princess Ding is the role model of all women in the world. I have admired her for a long time. If I can see her, it will be the fortune of three lifetimes."
Bai Yuncheng smiled, "That's great. Ning 'er, go."
