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

Ximen Liuyun was stunned and touched his nose a little embarrassedly.

Listening to his words, Bai Lu patted Ximen Liuyun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we'll talk about it later."

She touched Ximen Liuyun's little head, and said with gentle and firm eyes: "Anyway, my family's business is not just the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop. Your mother only said that you can invest 1,000 taels of silver in the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop, but she didn't say that you can't invest in my other businesses."

"You can also invest in a rice shop or a business later... When you return to Lianhua Town in Liangzhou, I will take you with me and teach you step by step."

Hearing this, Ximen Liuyun felt warm in his heart, "Thank you, Lady Bai."

"..."

Before they knew it, they were in the palace.

As soon as I arrived at the palace gate, I saw that quite a few people had already come in.

Almost all the nobles, royal family members, officials of the fifth rank and above, and their families came.

The room was filled with toasts and the noble ladies were chatting and laughing. Several adults were dressed in gorgeous robes and looked extraordinary and dignified.

Seeing this, Bai Lu was stunned. She didn't expect them to come so early. Wasn't the banquet scheduled to start at noon?

Bai Lu was just thinking about it when she saw the emperor who was sitting at the top seat suddenly come down and walk towards the door.

Everyone turned to look at the door, only to see Bai Lu and others coming in.

Bai Lu was dressed in red, with countless golden hairpins on her head, and her marquis's attire was very conspicuous.

Only then did everyone realize that this was the newly-appointed dukedom by His Majesty.

Then, the emperor smiled happily and said to Bai Lu, "Oh, Lady Bai, you are here."

As he said that, he immediately pulled Bai Lu to the seat of honor, "You are the protagonist today. Even if your rank is not very high, you can still sit above these dukes."

"Come, come, come, sit... in this position, next to the prince."

Having said that, he directly arranged for Bai Lu to sit next to the prince's seat.

The seats nowadays are like this, with the emperor sitting at the top; because the empress did not come, there was no seat for the empress at the top, and there were just two small seats below with two tables on top.

The one on the left is the prince, and the one on the right is Bai Lu.

After that came the princes, dukes, ministers of the court, and chancellors of various ministries.

Bai Lu directly passed by everyone and sat next to the emperor, with the same position as the prince!

Everyone was stunned to see how much the emperor loved Bai Lu!

They whispered.

"I haven't heard of it before...Your Majesty likes Marquis Anguo so much."

"You probably don't know this. After all, our Marquis of Anguo is the first female duke of our dynasty. Your Majesty wants to promote the imperial examination for women, so naturally he should be more enthusiastic about Marquis of Anguo."

"But is this normal? Even if you are enthusiastic, you can't be so enthusiastic that you give the seat next to Bai Lu directly... Then what is she? Is she equivalent to a princess?"

Some who knew some secrets laughed secretly.

It is simply because Bai Lu is Zhao Bingyu's daughter. In the emperor's heart, Bai Lu is no different from his princesses, and is even more lovable than his princesses.

However, no matter what, everyone was quite silent.

They all didn't expect that the emperor would personally go down to support Bai Lu and give Bai Lu such a great honor.

Just as she was silent, she saw the emperor very naturally push Bai Lu to her seat, and personally handed her a cake from the table, saying: "Come and try it, there is a new cake in Kyoto recently, called something like cream cake, it is so delicious."

"It seems...it came from the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop."

Bai Lu was stunned, then looked up and couldn't help but said, "Isn't this my shop?"

Hearing this, the emperor seemed to suddenly understand something. He looked very surprised and said to everyone, "Oh, it turns out that the cream cakes are made by the shop of Marquis Anguo."

Everyone: "..."

The emperor's intention to advertise Bailu was so obvious, how could they not know it?

This emperor really spoils Bai Lu. He even advertises Bai Lu in front of so many princes and dukes.

Everyone was silent, listening to the emperor praising Bai Lu with a smile: "Marquis Anguo is indeed a heroine. No wonder she was able to easily come up with 100,000 dan of grain and had such powerful means to save so many soldiers from danger. It turns out that she has the confidence with the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop..."

"I, the Queen, and the Queen Mother all like the things in the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop."

"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty."

"If Your Majesty likes it, I will naturally send it to Your Majesty when I completely take over the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop. I will let Your Majesty try any new products first."

Bai Lu bowed to the emperor and said.

Everyone realized at this time that the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop was originally managed by the Bai family, but now it was all handed over to Bai Lu. Bai Lu seemed to have broken up with the Bai family, and now the Bai family could not get any benefits.

What a pity! Even though the emperor gave the advertisement, the Bai family, the richest family in the world, and the queen’s mother’s family didn’t get a penny.

Isn't this emperor a traitor?

Everyone turned to look at Bai Lu, wondering why the emperor would offend the Bai family for Bai Lu.

Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came from outside: "The Queen Mother has arrived!"

As soon as the Queen Mother came in, she immediately ran to Bai Lu and gave her a bear hug, "Oh, my sister-in-law, you're here!"

"What? This is the Queen Mother's adopted sister?"

"!!!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the Queen Mother and Bai Lu in confusion. They couldn't help but stare with their eyes wide open, dumbfounded and unable to believe it.
