In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

The queen cried and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...! Your words are so cruel!"

"Our Bai family is indeed arrogant! It's my fault for not disciplining them well! But how could my mother's family do such a thing as plotting to usurp the throne?!"

"My three nephews from my mother's family all risked their lives for our Dawu and almost died in Liangzhou! They have such a strong desire to serve the country. If Your Majesty is so suspicious of them... it would be a real heartbreak!"

Hearing this, the emperor frowned, but his tone softened a little.

"... Never mind. The young men in your Bai family are quite good."

"It's just... this young girl! People like Bai Zhiyi! They really have no mother and have been taught badly!"

"If you, the Queen Aunt, and Lord Bai don't teach her well, then at worst, we can just let the palace nanny teach her well!"

"I have offended the royal family before, and I cannot even raise my head in front of them! This is fine! This is a family matter!"

"Now! If you delay state affairs, I will never let your brother and your little niece go!!"

As he said this, he immediately snorted coldly and angrily told the prince: "Go and tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to put the female uncle's clothing aside for the time being, and don't mention this matter at the banquet for the time being!"

"After the banquet is over, I will naturally tell Bai Lu that I want to make her a female aunt, and give her a good reward to make up for it..."

No matter what, I have to give Bai Lu an explanation for this matter. After all, it was I who asked the prince to invite them into the palace, but in the end... Bai Lu got beaten. This is so embarrassing.

The emperor frowned and gave the prince some instructions.

The prince nodded quickly, feeling somewhat guilty.

Bai Lu, such a delicate girl, was beaten without any reason, and was hit on the most important part of her face... If I were a man, I would be sad too.

What's more, Bai Lu was a merchant of low status. It was a great honor for him to enter the palace and be rewarded and given a banquet by the emperor.

As a result, Lord Bai destroyed the entire atmosphere with a slap.

Logically speaking, this is a day Bai Lu will remember for the rest of her life.

The prince frowned, his heart bleeding.

Not only was it not worth it that their grand plan was ruined, but it was also not worth it for a woman like Bai Lu who had finally made it to Kyoto and had the chance to see the emperor and be holy in front of him!

Damn it, what the emperor said was right! It is so difficult for a poor family to rise!

Although the prince himself was born in the Bai family, which did not represent a poor family, the prince considered himself to be a very virtuous prince. Rich or poor families... they were all the same in his eyes.

He admired talents like Bai Lu, but he couldn't stand people like Bai Zhiyi.

The prince frowned and spoke well of Bai Lu to the emperor, "But speaking of which... Father, this Lady Bai Lu is indeed a rare and extraordinary woman."

"She suffered this injustice, but she didn't show any unhappiness on her face. Instead, she spoke well of the royal family to her son, which roughly meant that she would listen to the emperor and anything would be fine!"

"Well, I have met this Lady Bai Lu before. She is indeed a rare and extraordinary woman. She is a reasonable person, much better than your niece."

As he spoke, the emperor pointed at the queen in a sarcastic tone.

"..."

The queen listened to these words with a frown on her face, and dared only to endure it without saying a word.

What the hell... Lord Bai and his daughter Bai Zhiyi have destroyed the political situation in the court. This is not ordinary!

The Queen dared to say a word???

And his own son, the crown prince, was a man who dared to refute the emperor at the age of 15 for the sake of the world and the people! He was almost deposed by the emperor! He didn't care about family affection... In the eyes of the crown prince, the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, which is the most important thing.

They were talking when they suddenly heard the eunuch outside coming to deliver a message.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Bai is here."

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes widened and he said to the outside: "Hey, the one who talked about Cao Cao is here, let him get out of here quickly!!!"

"..."

When Zhang, the steward outside, heard this, he turned his head and looked at Bai Da thoughtfully. Seeing that Bai Da was holding a box in his hand, he smiled and said to Bai Da: "Bai Da, it seems that His Majesty is not in a good mood. Please pay more attention to yourself."

"..."

Lord Bai shook his head, feeling a little annoyed.

I must meet the emperor today!

She knew that the emperor would issue an edict later, and he would probably talk about the imperial examination for women.

This was a good opportunity for him to talk to the emperor about improving the status of women, so that Bai Zhiyi could share in the good fortune and help restore Bai Zhiyi's title of Princess Mingzhu.

Even if I can't recover, I can be a county lady instead of a princess.

Isn't this to improve the status of women? It's just right, let Bai Zhiyi use some of the Bai Mansion's money to do some good deeds, donate 500,000 or 700,000 taels, this way, Bai Zhiyi's reputation can be saved.

In this way, she is also a person of high moral character and prestige. What's wrong with making Bai Zhiyi a princess? Isn't this good? This also solves the emperor's urgent need!

After Lord Bai entered, he saw the three people in the room looking at him with different expressions.

The emperor had a blank expression on his face, the queen was worried, and the prince had a livid face.

Looking at the expressions of the three of them, Lord Bai's heart skipped a beat, wondering how he had offended them.

He immediately knelt on the ground and said to the emperor, empress and crown prince: "I pay my respects to your majesty, to the empress, and to your highness the crown prince!"

"..."

The three of them remained silent at the same time, and there was a moment of silence in the air.

Lord Bai waited for a long time but didn't hear any sound from them.

After a while, Lord Bai heard the emperor slowly say, "My dear, get up."

Lord Bai quickly stood up and put the box aside, then knelt on the ground again: "Your Majesty, Queen, and Crown Prince, today... I have something important to report to you all."

"Is it something important?"

The emperor sneered, "Then tell me your important business first."

When Lord Bai heard this, he knew that he might have done something to offend the emperor, but he didn't know what he had done to offend the emperor.

Hey? It's about Bai Lu getting beaten!
