"So that's how it is. The Bai family has ulterior motives. They are too cruel, aren't they?! They are throwing dirty water on Bai Lu and Miss Murong. Aren't they trying to kill them?!"

"Yes, I heard that the Queen's Phoenix Seal was taken down, and Lord Bai was also dismissed from his post. It seems that His Majesty is very angry."

"..."

Murong family.

Murong Jinshu has recovered very well in the past two days, and the bruises on his neck have also faded a lot.

But he was still very timid and scared, and always looked for Bai Lu.

Even at night, she had to sleep with Bai Lu, otherwise she would have nightmares and be woken up by the fright.

When General Murong and Madam Murong saw Murong Jinshu like this, they felt deeply moved and shed countless tears in private.

At this time they were also very grateful that Bai Lu was right next to them, and that Bai Lu could still comfort Murong Jinshu at this moment.

After that, it’s better to let Bai Lu take Murong Jinshu away from Kyoto, and let her take Murong Jinshu to Liangzhou for a while... to relax.

The next day, the emperor immediately sent someone to Murong Mansion to deliver a message to Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu. This time, the person who came was Eunuch Zhang.

Eunuch Zhang smiled at Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu, and said politely, "Marquis Anguo, Miss Murong, His Majesty and the Queen Mother invite you to the palace tomorrow to attend the ceremony of conferring the title of Marquis Anguo."

"My Lord, we have already customized your lady's uniform for you before, but at that time, it was made according to the earl's specifications. Now we have changed it to the marquis's uniform and remade it for you."

"I used the Baron's former clothing to alter it for you. I don't know if you can wear it."

"...The embroiderer in this palace has excellent skills. Although time is tight, it doesn't matter. I will definitely be able to wear it."

"Anyway, Mrs. Bai, you are good-looking and you will look good in it." Eunuch Zhang said to Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu with a smile.

"Lady Bai, Miss Murong, you two should hurry to the palace, dress neatly, and attend the ceremony."

"...Also, Lady White, you will be the protagonist tomorrow, so His Majesty has sent a maid to come to Murong's house to do your makeup."

"If you try it and find it good, you can use that makeup tomorrow and go to the palace to attend the ceremony."

Bai Lu nodded, feeling a little curious. She wondered...what was the difference between this lady's makeup and that of an ordinary lady from a noble family?

For example, the palace costumes of ladies and princesses must be very elegant and generous. So what should my own costumes and makeup be like as a lady? Should they be more masculine?

Bai Lu touched her chin and then greeted the two palace maids behind her.

The two palace maids behind her said to Bai Lu with a smile: "Lady Bai, please come in. Let's try out the makeup today."

"Tomorrow we will go to the palace together to attend the ceremony."

"Okay!" Bai Lu nodded. "......"

After half an hour, Bai Lu felt that her head was already in a mess because of them.

The hair accessories on my head are piled up, and there were even many wigs in ancient times, but this wig is more realistic than I imagined.

In ancient times, wigs were made of cloth and women's real hair. Bai Lu found it very novel, as she rarely saw such wigs in her small town.

The maidservant below smiled and said to Bai Lu, "These wigs are used by the concubines in the harem, but the concubines of lower ranks cannot use them. Only concubines and above can use them. It's normal that Bai Niangzi has never seen them."

"If you like, we will give you some wigs and wig bags later so you can use them when you go back to comb your hair."

Hearing this, Bai Lu smiled and shook her head, saying, "I don't usually do such a complicated hairstyle at home, so you should keep it for your own use in the palace."

The palace maids smiled, and they all felt a little strange in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, Bai Lu, the newly appointed Marquis of Anguo by the Emperor, turned out to be much more cheerful and generous than they had imagined, and he didn't put on airs at all.

Soon, the hair was combed.

Bai Lu glanced at her hair bun, which looked a bit like the hairstyle of noble ladies in the Ming Dynasty, the Di bun. Although it was complicated, it had a sharp aura. (If you don't know what this kind of hair bun looks like, you can refer to the hair bun that Jiuchong Zili Su Si wore when she was serving the queen in the palace.)

A set of golden head ornaments is put on, and decorated with kingfisher feathers, indigo blue and gems, which makes it look rich and elegant.

Bai Lu's face can support the entire makeup and hairstyle, and the clothes are exactly the bright red official uniform of the Marquis.

It looks both masculine and feminine, and the dress looks really good on Bai Lu.

The maids below were all stunned. They kept praising Bai Lu, "Marquis Anguo is indeed a beauty. This dress! This hair accessory! They suit you very well."

"If His Majesty and the Queen saw this, they would be very happy."

Bai Lu smiled.

After she put on her clothes and jewelry, General Murong and Madam Murong came over to take a look.

They all nodded happily and said, "White Lady is so beautiful."

"Before, even though White Snake didn't dress up much, she was still stunningly beautiful."

"Now, you look even better after dressing up!"

Murong Jinshu was also very happy and said to Bai Lu: "Sister Bai is indeed very beautiful. If I were a man, I would definitely marry Sister Bai first."

They were just laughing and joking when they suddenly heard a voice from outside: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

The prince is here...Everyone looked at each other in shock.

They hurried to the main hall and saluted the Crown Prince, saying, "Your Highness, may you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"Hey, we are all family, why should we be so polite?"

The prince waved his hand, helped them all up, then turned to look at Bai Lu.

The prince looked thinner than before. Perhaps it was because the emperor ordered the prince to be secluded in the deep palace, so he looked a little haggard.

After all, his mother and her family are now in prison, and the prince's party is in turmoil. How can the prince not be angry? !

But isn't the Crown Prince now living in seclusion in the East Palace? Why is he here now?

Everyone looked at the Crown Prince in surprise, and then he smiled and said to Bai Lu, "My father asked me to come here. He said that the enthronement ceremony is coming soon and there are many things to do, so he asked me to come and see how you are preparing."

Bai Lu nodded.
