Bai Luo glared at her and dared to go.

"The second young lady has a really bad temper. Eldest lady, do you think this second young lady seems to be a different person? She dares to compete with you for your royal highness."

When Bai Xianxian's personal maid mentioned this, Bai Xianxian was offended and muttered: "You are right. Seeing her like this, she is indeed different from before."

"So this servant suspects that she is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and wants to defeat the eldest lady and madam. Otherwise, she has pretended to be pitiful for so many years, but when it came to the marriage discussion, she returned to normal and stood up to replace the eldest lady and the regent.

His Royal Highness, by getting married, he is playing tricks on the young lady."

Bai Xianxian looked back at Bai Luo's back, a flash of madness flashed through her eyes: "Wait and see, I have a way to prevent her from marrying the regent."

…

Bai Luo knocked on the door, and Bai Qitang asked her to come in.

"Kneel down."

Bai Luo knelt down obediently.

Bai Qitang was a little surprised when he saw Bai Luo being so obedient.

"Do you know what I asked you to come for?"

Bai Luo lowered her head, and she sincerely admitted her mistake: "I know."

"I know you still commit the crime, but you want to kill your father before you are willing to do it. You hit the prince and make the master angry. This is only the first day. You want to make your father angry, right?"

"sorry--"

Bai Luo felt even more guilty.

"I'm sorry, if it's useful, why do you want to catch the head?"

This sentence sounds familiar.

Bai Luo pursed her lips and said nothing. Bai Qitang scolded her for half an hour, and finally asked: "Do you understand?"

"I know." Bai Luo answered very simply, without any sense of being sloppy. In fact, she didn't hear what Bai Qitang said in front of her at all. It was always going in with one ear and out with the other. She had completely trained this

Skill.

"If you know it, go out and stay here to cause trouble."

Bai Qitang was finally willing to let Bai Luo out. As soon as Bai Luo came out, Qing Ping and others immediately greeted her and looked at her with concern: "Second Miss, it's okay. Don't be sad. This is not your fault."

"I'm not sad, just my legs hurt."

Bai Luo rubbed his knees, which had been numb for a long time.

Qing Ping:......

Not long after she returned to the yard, Aunt Liu from the front yard sent someone to call her over again, saying that the regent had gotten up to pay the betrothal gift.

What? Why so fast!

Bai Luo quickly stood up and walked out neatly.

"Hey, Miss Second, wait for me!"

When Bai Luo arrived in the front hall, she saw a handsome man not far from her.

He behaves elegantly and is extremely dignified.

"Luo'er is here, sit down quickly."

When Aunt Liu saw Bai Luo arrive, her eyes almost disappeared from laughter.

She had never seen so many betrothal gifts in her life. If she got these by marrying off, she would be truly wealthy, and she would enjoy endless glory and wealth in her lifetime.

Bai Luo glanced at Aunt Liu, who was particularly close to her today, and wondered what else was going on in her mind.

"My lord is well."

Bai Lu Yingying bowed.

"Get up."

Bai Luo sat down, and Aunt Liu specially arranged her next to Du Mingjue. This meant that anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

Bai Luo has never been proposed to a bride before, so she is still a little nervous now.

"Luo'er..."

Just as Du Mingjue was about to speak, a familiar voice came from the door.

"His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has come to visit us, but a small official can't entertain us well."

It's Bai Qitang.

Bai Qitang looked at Bai Luo as soon as he came in, as if he wanted to kill her.

So what?

Bai Luo couldn't understand the game between men, so naturally he couldn't see that the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense.

"What do you mean, Lord Taiwei?"

Du Mingjue was very conscious. As the regent, he was powerful but without any pretensions. Bai Luo thought it was pretty good.

"Your Majesty, since you have asked, then I will make it clear to you, what position did you promise to give my daughter?"

Du Mingjue frowned, but still answered truthfully: "I am promised the position of concubine."

"Concubine?" Bai Luo read these two words carefully, a slight feeling of doubt creeping into his heart.

It wasn't that she liked the position of the princess, but Bai Luo always felt that Du Mingjue was very anxious to marry her home.

Bai Luo glanced at the tall Bai Qitang and had a guess in his mind.

It should be for the Bai Qitang team.

After being here for so long, she asked Qing Ping to bring her a lot of ancient books to read when she was bored, just to pass the time, so she had a certain understanding of the background here.

This is the Jiutian Continent. There are three major countries on the continent, named Wan Kingdom, Night Kingdom and Flower Kingdom.

And the country she is staying in is the most powerful country among them.

Puan Guo values ​​strength, and its soldiers and horses are the most powerful among the three kingdoms. The other two countries are relatively weak, so Puan Guo follows suit and does not dare to say anything. Every year, it also offers a large number of beauties and jewels to show respect.

Du Mingjue was the regent who was respected by thousands of people in the country. His reputation was far higher than that of the emperor, so that many places only knew the regent but not the emperor.

It is said that great achievements surpass the master, but Emperor Wanguo did not fear Du Mingjue's thoughts at all. On the contrary, the two had a good relationship in private.

These are all things she has heard, and she has no idea whether they are true or false, so she naturally has a feeling of doubt.

"My lord, when you proposed marriage to me, the one you promised to Luo'er was not a concubine."

Bai Luo opened his eyes suddenly, and his subtle actions instantly fell into Du Mingjue's eyes.

He raised the corners of his lips and said, "This king has made a promise, does the captain have any objections?"

Bai Qitang was shocked and knelt down unconsciously: "I dare not have any objection, I just feel that my little girl Bai Luo is not worthy of the position of the prince's concubine."

Bai Luo and Aunt Liu also knelt down.

Bai Luo lowered his head and looked at the ground, "My father is so powerful, it would be best not to marry."

When Bai Qitang reprimanded her, the more Bai Luo thought about it, the more she felt that the engagement should be terminated as soon as possible. Now she didn't want to marry Du Mingjue in an embarrassing situation.

After talking, Bai Luo looked for Bai Qitang's worry in his shocked eyes.

So she promised, "If dad can stop me from marrying the regent, I will be filial to dad and find countless beauties for dad."

Cough cough cough——

Bai Qitang was coughing so hard that his lungs were about to come out. He quickly stopped Bai Luo and said, "That's enough. You said it so easily. If His Highness the Regent gets angry, your father's old bones won't be able to bear it."

"The worst case scenario is that I will go to jail with my father. Dad, you have been in debt for so many years. You have finally helped your daughter once. Just help. Isn't it okay to just convince him to marry someone else instead of my daughter?"

"Or you can persuade him to marry Bai Xianxian. It is tradition for the eldest daughter to marry first. As the second young lady, how can I get married before the eldest sister?"

Bai Qitang looked at Bai Luo with complicated eyes: "Are you still the second daughter I know?"

"Who says it isn't?"

Bai Luo smiled and left.

…

Du Mingjue looked at Bai Luo who was kneeling on the ground, with a hint of joy on his pretty face and cunning eyes. He seemed very happy to see him deflated.

"I have an imperial edict in my hand. Sir Taiwei, do you have any objections?"

If there is anyone in the court who is not his, Bai Qitang is the one.

He holds the important position of Taiwei and is in charge of as many as 500,000 troops. Secretly, as a military attache, he has never taken sides.

He tried several times but never let him go. If his daughters had not reached marriageable age, he would not have lowered his dignity and came to propose marriage.

But I still don't want to show my face, and I want to use this as a threat.

If he marries the daughter of the Bai family this time, he can win his support.

Du Mingjue frowned, feeling that this matter must be in vain.
