Baili Yuyan also watched eagerly. She still remembered the loving words they shared together, and hoped that he did as well.
"I want……. Her!"
Xuanyuan stretched out his finger, pointing at a woman.
Baili Hongzhaung was bored to death as she chatted idly with Dibei Chen. During the banquet, she had actually become quite familiar with him.
Thankfully, this guy also didn't really like the banquet, so they both preferred to sit in the corner and eat happily.
But suddenly, everybody's eyes were on them. Baili Hongzhuang lifted her eyes and looked around. The person Xuanyuan Huan was referring to was actually her!
"Baili Hongzhuang….." Xuanyuan Huan slowly said.
The moment Baili Hongzhuang appeared, his eyes had never moved elsewhere.
Although he didn't understand how Baili Hongzhuang changed so much, he just couldn't forget about her.
Just by watching Baili Hongzhuang and Dibei Chen chattering so happily, his heart was uncomfortable.
In any case, he just had to get Baili Hongzhuang as his woman!
When everybody saw Xuanyuan Huan choose Baili Hongzhaung, the expressions on their face all became strange.
Only a month ago, Baili Hongzhuang was abandoned by him and moreover, Xuanyuan Huan himself had even asked for the engagement to be cancelled many times.
But now he wants her back. Isn't this just like a joke?
Baili Yuyan watched Xuanyuan Huan in shock. She couldn't believe that he actually chose Baili Hongzhuang!
Xuanyuan Yutian and Jiang Jinying's faces expressions momentarily turned ugly when they heard his answer.
Xuanyuan Huan could choose any woman present in the banquet. Any woman but Baili Hongzhuang!
"Cannot!"
Xuanyuan Yutian's voice was imposing, with the aura of a ruler.
A Emperor's words weren't a joke. He himself had cancelled the engagement before, so how could he go back and make Baili Hongzhuang the Crown Princess again!
No matter how amazing Baili Hongzhuang may be now, she and Xuanyuan Huan absolutely cannot be together again!
Xuanyuan Huan's expression changed as he looked at Xuanyuan Yutian's rigid face, about to retort back when Jiang Jinying suddenly stopped him.
"Huan, don't make trouble!" Jiang Jiying lowered her voice.
"Imperial Mother, your son only likes Baili Hongzhuang!" Xuanyuan Huan stressed the fact.
Jiang Jinying's beautiful face frowned, "There's so many people here, and yet you still dare to contradict your father, do you not want to be Crown Prince anymore?"
When Xuanyuan Huan insisted on breaking off the engagement, Xuanyuan Yutian was already displeased. Wanting it again in such an event is simply impossible.
Listening to Jiang Jinying's words, Xuanyuan Huan couldn't help but be shocked. Taking a quick glance to see his father's sharp eyes, he could only shut his mouth obediently without any other words.
Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but relax. Thankfully, she didn't need to intervene for the problem to be solved. Xuanyuan Huan's stupidity really made her want to pull her brains out!
After, Xuanyuan Huan just sat expressionless, letting his mother Jiang Jinying pick out a few concubines for him. If he couldn't get Baili Hongzhuang, then he didn't care who he got.
Seeing Xuanyuan Huan act obediently, Jiang Jinying also felt relieved. She was only a woman, and absolutely could not let the Emperor's feelings of Huan change!
In the end, Xuanyuan Yutian declared Feng Bo's Country's Prime Minister, Li Chengqian's daugher, Li Yuyue as the Crown Prince's wife!
Whether it was appearence, background, or compatibility to Xuanyuan Huan, Li Yuyue was very appropriate.
Li Chengqian led Li Yuyue to receive the edict. He and Baili Zhentao were of equal status, but now that his daughter is the Crown Princess, Baili Zhentao couldn't be compared with him in the future.
"Thanks the Emperor!"
Li Chengqian's smile was beaming, smugly sending a glance to Baili Zhentao.
Baili Zhentao's expression ashened, this Li Chengqian was too hateful!
With the glance, he noticed Baili Hongzhuang sitting by Dibei Chen. Suddenly, he had an idea.
"Your Majesty, today His Highness, the Crown Prince's day to choose a wife. Prince Chen also isn't young and is still unmarried, so why not take advantage of the opportunity today and lay down a marriage?"
His Highness, the Crown Prince actually chose Baili Hongzhuang out of all the girls here. That wasn't good at all for Yuyue
Listening, Xuanyuan Yutian asked, "Is there somebody you would like to recommend?"
"The General Household's second miss, Baili Hongzhuang. What does the Emperor think?"
Xuanyuan Yutian pondered. Dibei Chen still wasn't married, and with his appearance, it’s impossible for him to leave Feng Bo country. Like this, he might as well let him be happy and choose an engagement!
Jiang Jinying's eyes shined brightly, "The lady Li Chengqian recommended is very good. Emperor, I think that Baili Hongzhuang and Prince Chen match each other rather well. How about you?"
She cannot let Xuanyuan Huan's status be threatened. So long as Baili Hongzhuang's engaged and married off, the flames in his heart would naturally die off!
Xuanyuan Huan's eyes widened in shock. Did his mother actually just propose to have Baili Hongzhuang to marry Dibei Chen?
"Very good, I approve!"
Xuanyuan Yutian laughed heartily. With a wave of his hand, the engagement was approved.
Baili Hongzhuang and Dibei Chen stared at each other, unable to believe that they were engaged, just like that!
Baili Zhentao's face darkened. The Emperor didn't even look at him once before settling the engagement. From this, he could tell that he was very unhappy over today's matter.
For him, Baili Hongzhuang didn't mean anything.
Since the Emperor said to marry, marry!
In any case, rather than having that kind of trash waste space staying at home, it's better to just marry her out.
When Baili Yuyan heard this, her eyes glittered with excitement.
What did Baili Hongzhuang get for stealing the limelight and showing off?
Now, she had to marry a crippled Prince!
Everybody knew that although the Emperor made him a Prince, he actually doesn't favor him at all.
Marrying him, it'd be like marrying a dead end!
"A blind trash with a disabled wastrel! What a perfect match!"
Baili Haoxuan sneered. It looks like he didn't need to deal with Baili Hongzhuang himself. Just by marrying Dibei Chen, she's already suffering a huge punishment!
"This lady Hongzhaung is really pitiful. She was abandoned by the Crown Prince, blinded by her own sister, and now is even betrothed to Prince Chen!"
"Although Prince Chen's looks are unrivalled, he is still after all, a cripple. Looks like Baili Hongzhaung's ruined in this life!"
"Wifey, it looks like I'm destined to become your man!" Dibei Chen raised an eyebrow, grinning at Baili Hongzhaung, "Although I usually don't like Li Chengqian, now I kind of do!"
Hei Mu looked at Dibei Chen astonished. When the Emperor announced Dibei Chen's engagement, he had been worried, but his little lord actually didn't seem to care!
Don't tell me…… he accepted it?
This was the little lord he had served for many, many years!
Wasn't little lord uninterested in women?
Hei Mu felt something burst in his mind. He simply couldn't accept the new changes that had just occurred.
When they had first come to Feng Bo country, the Emperor had actually already proposed a marriage to him. But at that time, his little lord rejected it without hesitation!
Baili Hongzhuang curled her lip. She never thought such a thing would happen over only a dinner today.
"So this thing, there's no other way out?" Baili Hongzhuang raised her eyebrows, and asked.
"You want to defy the edict?"
Dibei Chen raised a fine eyebrow, his smile utterly bewitching as he stared at Baili Hongzhuang.
"No." Baili Hongzhuang shook her head, "Someone who hasn't married, marries. If I marry you, at least your face is pleasing to the eye, although…… poor."
Her face was clear and sparkling like jade, smile like moving water. She knew clearly that no matter what she does, the Emperor and Empress wouldn't be happy.
Even if she doesn't marry Dibei Chen, they'll still think up of some way to get rid of her.
It just so happened that she also didn't have anywhere to stay. Chen Imperial Palace is pretty good!
"Baili Hongzhuang accepts the edict!"
Under the eyes of sympathy and mockery, Baili Hongzhuang accepted the edict, her face indifferent.
Turning her body, a proud smile floating on her face.
Baili Hongzhuang's calmness far surpassed their expectations. Turning from a Crown Princess into a disabled Prince's wife, the difference wasn't small.
Everybody thought that Baili Hongzhuang would be in dispair, but from start to finish, nobody saw any trace of sadness on her face.
Putting away the edict, her back was straight as she calmly walked back to her seat. Sitting down, she simply chat and smile just as merrily as before, making everybody stare at each other in shock.
"She's only acting stubborn, who knows when she'll ruin her own life?"
Baili Yuyan sneered. She couldn't get used to seeing Baili Hongzhuang's noble appearance, proudly walking as if nobody entered her eyes.
"Older sister, once the banquet's over, we'll teach her a lesson and remind her she's just trash!"
Jet black pupils glittering ruthlessly, Baili Haoxuan comforted Baili Yuyan.
Whoever irritates his sister, he'll make sure they suffer!
A smililing expression reappeared on Baili Yuyan's face, her eyes growing more and more vicious.
"Haoxuan, this time we'll make Baili Hongzhuang pay the price!"
With the old silly, naieve Baili Hongzhuang, she only liked to watch her act like an idiot. Baili Haoxuan was the one who truly called the shots.
Now that both sides tore apart her face, she won't be polite!
Daring to rob His Highness, the Crown Prince's heart, she'll definetely make that trash taste life worse than death!
"Wifey, we'll be married soon. When do you want the betrothal gifts?"
Dibei Chen's handsome face smiled thoughtfully as he raised an eyebrow, asking Baili Hongzhuang.
Xuanyuan Yutian had long wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but he was never interested.
But since the woman was Baili Hongzhuang, he actually didn't want to refuse.
Baili Hongzhuang laughed, her eyes flashing with disdain, "You, the pauper that can't even afford to give 100 gold coins, what can you gift me?"
"Wife, your words are wrong." His eyes that were as deep as an ocean glittered with seriousness, "As my, Dibei Chen's wife, you'll be sure to see a great sight."
Baili Hongzhuang was startled. His serious words had almost given her an illusion.
But then she just laughed. Wasn't Dibei Chen best at cracking jokes?
