It seems that although the emperor is angry now, he does not vent his anger too much on the prince.

The prince's position remains stable.

But the prince's power must be much weaker.

"I heard that my father and mother have asked the palace maid to come and try out your makeup. This is... the clothes you are wearing, the jewelry you will wear tomorrow, and the bun you will wear. They are really nice."

The prince looked Bai Lu up and down, and said with great satisfaction: "It seems that the maids in this palace are all very skilled. You are also very beautiful. This outfit suits you very well."

The prince kept praising Bai Lu, his eyes full of amazement.

I knew that Bailu was beautiful before, and now I think it is even more beautiful.

He was smiling and didn't seem to have any grudge against Bai Lu.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Bai Lu, he said to her, "Lady Bai, I have something I want to talk to you alone."

"Let's talk for a moment."

"it is good."

Bai Lu glanced at the Murong family behind her, then immediately dismissed everyone and spoke to the prince alone for a while.

The prince and Bai Lu arrived at the garden, and the prince slowly said to Bai Lu: "Come to think of it, I am also your cousin..."

After Bai Lu nodded, she heard the prince say with some regret: "I didn't expect... that I was actually your cousin. If I had known that I was your cousin, I would have protected you more at the beginning."

"Your Highness, you have been very protective of me from the beginning. Thank you very much."

The prince shook his head, sighed and said, "If I knew that the Bai family had done such an excessive thing to you, I would definitely protect you well."

"Don't blame me for what happened before... Although I am the crown prince, I have no way of knowing what they did in private, and I am not a worm in their stomach!"

Bai Lu nodded, and listened to the prince say: "Now, the Bai family has been convicted, and the queen mother's phoenix seal has been lost. The queen mother probably won't attend tomorrow's banquet, but it's not for any other reason, but because our Bai family is in a precarious situation now, and it's not appropriate for her to show up at the banquet."

"It would be embarrassing for the Queen Mother to come forward at this time. Tomorrow, only you and I, the two people from the Bai family, should come forward."

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then Third Brother isn't going?"

"Your third brother is busy with something. I don't know what the emperor sent him to do."

The prince shook his head and said to Bai Lu: "Anyway, there will only be two of us in the Bai family tomorrow, so I hope... we can be more harmonious tomorrow."

"Even if you don't want to admit that you are the daughter of the Bai family, you shouldn't talk too badly about the people in the Bai family."

"If I mention the Bai family, I hope you won't say anything that would make the Bai family our enemy in the future."

Bai Lu nodded and said, "Don't worry. Tomorrow, as long as the Bai family and I don't interfere with each other, I will definitely not do anything."

Since no one from the Bai family would come forward, naturally, Bai Lu would not say anything excessive.

Hearing this, the prince breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly said to Bai Lu with guilt: "I didn't come here to threaten you. I just want to give you a few words of advice."

"After all, the Bai family is your mother's family. Even if the Bai family treats you badly, they are still your mother's family... Your dowry and everything else come from the Bai family. Isn't it true that we all prosper together and suffer together?"

"I...really, I just want to tell you not to say those words tomorrow."

Bai Lu nodded.

The prince's explanation at this time seemed a little weak, and he was even a little afraid of offending Bai Lu.

Bailu is indeed very popular with the emperor.

The prince really felt a little guilty.

But to be honest, what the prince said did make sense. After all, she was born in the Bai family. It would be embarrassing if she said something bad about the Bai family.

Not only would the prince's dignity be damaged, the queen's dignity would be damaged, the dignity of the entire Bai family would be damaged, and even himself, the Marquis of Anguo... would certainly feel very aggrieved.

Then the prince said, "Some of the more powerful and influential families in the capital now know your true identity. Although they won't say it on the surface, they are still observing your words and actions in private. You should pay more attention tomorrow."

"Tomorrow...how about this, you and Miss Murong stay by my side, this way they probably won't dare to do anything to you and Miss Murong, nor will they test you."

The prince gave Bai Lu a lot of instructions, and Bai Lu vaguely realized that he was now the Marquis of Anguo, so many things were different from usual.

As Marquis of Anguo, she is a member of the royal family.

Add to that the Bai family's identity... Although many people don't know, there are also many people who guess and investigate, and basically everything can be found out. So my every word and action now represents the royal family and the prince's mother's family.

Bai Lu sighed, realizing that she had unknowingly become embroiled in the court's factional struggles.

Bai Lu really wants to go back to her home.

The prince saw Bai Lu's embarrassment and said to her quickly, "But Lady Bai, I know you don't like the atmosphere in our capital."

"Kyoto is full of intrigues and deceptions. It's not just you. I don't like this place very much either. It's really not that good."

"After the canonization of the marquis, I will naturally send someone to put you on a carriage and have them escort you safely back to Liangzhou, back to your Lotus Town. As long as you proceed as usual tomorrow, everything will be fine."

Hearing this, Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Lu nodded immediately and said to the prince, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The prince nodded and gave Bai Lu some more instructions.

"By the way...I heard that you have a good relationship with the young prince and the prince of Liang."

After Bai Lu nodded, she heard the prince hesitantly say, "I heard that the wife of the Duke of Liang wanted to send the Duke of Liang's son to your place? Is that true?"

"When you said you were going back to Lianhua Town, you asked the Prince of Liang to follow you back to Lianhua Town."

"The prince is naturally very happy, but Duke Liang is not happy. He thinks you are going to take his son away from home again, so he had a big fight at home and has now put the prince in solitary confinement."

"He was supposed to show up at the banquet tomorrow, but now he won't show up."
