The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Bao Zhiqing was embarrassed: Princess, we are not talking about the same thing.

"I have it, but my status..." He still felt it was too low and was afraid of wronging the other party.

Before Bai Yunsu had the chance to express her feelings to her mother, her maid hurriedly told her that someone had come to propose marriage, which scared her.

"who is it?"

The maid said, "My aunt's husband's relatives, why don't you go and take a look?"

Bai Yunsu and Bai Qiuci looked at each other, and Bai Qiuci spoke anxiously.

"Xiang Jun, how about we send someone to the princess's mansion to report the news?"

I'm afraid this matter is over. There is no suitable candidate in this lady's family right now.

Baifu Main Hall

Madam Bai sat in the main seat, and sitting below her was Madam Yuan who had come to the mansion today. She was the sister-in-law of her younger sister-in-law's in-laws and the nephew of a man who had no rank, no achievements, and no reputation for virtue. He was handsome in appearance, but he was too ugly to match her daughter, and she didn't want to marry her children to her younger sister-in-law's in-laws.

"Mrs. Bai, you see the two children are of the right age and look good together. What do you think?" Anyway, she brought the betrothal gifts today. If this matter fails, the reputation of the girl from the Bai family will be ruined.

"We have to wait for the general to come back to discuss this matter." Humph, such behavior today is probably intended to tarnish her daughter's reputation. It is extremely abominable.

Wouldn't it be a waste of her daughter to marry into such a family? She would never allow her pampered daughter to marry into such a shameless family.

The other party was stunned. He didn't expect that Mrs. Bai had a strong attitude and righteous ideas. Her eyes were dark and unclear.

The guard hurried over to report: "Madam, Princess Yongkang is here to visit."

Mrs. Bai was overjoyed. This ready-made method of getting rid of people was really a blessing from heaven.

Accompanied by Ruan Qingling and others, Shen Jiarou came to the main hall. Seeing Mrs. Bai standing up to greet her, she smiled politely.

"Madam Bai has guests here, so it seems inappropriate for me to come."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bai said quickly, "Princess, you are joking. Yun'er was just talking about when she would visit you at your house, and now you are here."

"Then we are really suitable to be sisters. We are so in tune with each other."

Mrs. Bai was silent: Can this telepathic connection be used in this way?

The other party bowed respectfully and said, "I am here to see Her Royal Highness, Princess. Please be well, Princess."

"No gift."

Shen Jiarou, who never sat in the main seat in the past, went straight to the main seat and sat down today.

"Madam Bai, please sit next to me. It will be convenient for us to chat."

Mrs. Bai sat down nervously: Why did she feel that the princess was a little strange today, but she couldn't tell what was strange about her.

Shen Jiarou looked up at the two boxes of betrothal gifts placed outside and began to think.

"What is this for?" Seeing the princess looking at the betrothal gifts outside, Mrs. Bai looked very uncomfortable.

She glanced at the mother and son below her and explained with an unnatural look on her face.

"This is the betrothal gift that Madam Yuan brought."

"Have you guys reached an agreement?"

Both parties were confused by her question. How could the princess ask it so directly?

Mrs. Bai didn't want that family to get involved, so she quickly explained everything.

"Princess, to be honest, I would like to keep my daughter for a while longer."

Madam Yuan said quickly, "Madam Bai, we can let the two children get engaged first. The princess is here and can be a witness for us. It will be a blessing for the two newlyweds."

Mrs. Bai snorted coldly: You are so proud of yourself, yet you still need the princess to witness it. You are so shameless.

Bai Yunsu and Bai Qiuci hid outside and heard everything clearly. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand. She had already guessed what the Yuan family meant, but she didn't expect them to be so despicable. They wanted to ruin her reputation and put pressure on her mother step by step. She hated them so much.

Shen Jiarou smiled gently: "I'm so sorry, I'm here today to propose marriage for someone, but I came here suddenly, so it's a bit presumptuous, I hope Madam Bai won't mind."

Her attitude was natural and sincere. Although it surprised Mrs. Bai, it made her feel much better. At least Princess Yongkang was not such a tactless person.

Mrs. Yuan was stunned: Princess Yongkang is so young, and she is proposing for someone else?

This is too outrageous.

"Princess, you are joking. I wonder which young master the princess is betrothaling for? Do I know him?" I have never heard that the princess is familiar with any young masters from aristocratic families. The only one she is familiar with is the Prince Yang of Changbo Mansion. It can't be him.

"Madam, he knows her, but he is not someone's son. This princess came here suddenly today because she heard that someone in the Bai Mansion had proposed marriage. I was also shocked. I have known Sister Bai for a long time, but I have never heard that she has a marriage contract or is engaged. I was anxious for a while, fearing that Sister Bai would suddenly be engaged, so I came here early. I hope Madam will forgive me for disturbing you.

By the way, Nanny Su will personally deliver the betrothal gifts in a little while, so please wait for a moment, Madam."

Bai Qiuci was shocked: "My Lord, who is the princess betrothing for?"

Bai Yunsu had a vague guess in her heart, and after figuring it out, she even felt a little excited.

Bao Zhiqing, who was standing next to Shen Jiarou, was extremely nervous. When he first heard the princess talk about kidnapping the bride, he was shocked.

"It is Yun'er's blessing that the princess treats my daughter like this." But she still didn't know who the betrothal partner was.

Shen Jiarou looked at Bao Zhiqing and smiled at him, indicating that it was his turn to take action. Bao Zhiqing took a deep breath and walked out to the center of the main hall. Madam Bai, Madam Yuan and others were confused.

"Madam Bai, I am asking the princess to help me personally go to Bai Xiangjun's house and ask for his hand in marriage."

Hearing this, Mrs. Bai's eyes widened, obviously frightened.

Mrs. Yuan was extremely surprised: Is Princess Yongkang crazy? Why did she come to ask for a job on behalf of her subordinate?

"Ma'am, please check our sincerity for a while. I believe they will be here soon."

A guard ran in and said, "Madam, Madam Su wants to see you and she has brought a betrothal gift with her."

Looking at the boxes of betrothal gifts being carried in, not only Mrs. Bai was shocked, but Mrs. Yuan and her son were also stunned.

Nanny Su stepped forward and said respectfully, "Madam Bai, this is the betrothal gift sent by our princess's mansion. Please come forward and take a look."

Mrs. Bai pursed her lips and couldn't help swallowing.

"I will read the registration list first. There are 30 pieces of silk and satin in one box, worth 1,000 taels; one box of gold and silver nudes, worth 1,000 taels; one small box of white pearls, worth 20 pieces, worth 1,000 taels; one box of round fans, worth 1,000 taels; one jar each of three-year-old osmanthus wine, peach wine, kiwi wine, mulberry wine, and pomegranate wine, worth 1,000 taels;
