Bai Yingxin was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat, especially when she turned around and saw that everyone was looking at her with strange eyes, as if they didn't see Bai Lingxin at all.

"You are a ghost. Can't you see there is a ghost here? Ah... stay away from me!" Bai Yingxin slapped her head frantically and ran out screaming.

Wu Shang looked at Bai Lingxin who was approaching, feeling very complicated, but he didn't know where to start. When he turned around, everyone was gone.

Wu Shang lowered his head, full of frustration, "Miss Bai, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's fate, you don't have to blame yourself. I am also responsible for not keeping the jade pendant well, I don't blame you." Bai Lingxin said softly.

In fact, when Bai Lingxin saw the jade pendant again, her mood was extremely complicated. She even thought about what would happen if Wushang had repaid her and brought her out of the Bai family's trap?

But if that were the case, she might not have been able to meet and fall in love with Duan Lang. She never regretted her marriage to Duan Lang. The only thing that made her miss him was that if he had come earlier, if he could have saved her poor child. If he had come even earlier, would he have been able to save Duan Lang who died on the battlefield?

Of course, she was just thinking about it. Things had come to this point and no one could change it. She knew that Wushang was not to blame for these things.

"Wu Shang will stay here from now on. If Miss Bai needs anything, just let me know. Wu Shang will do his best to help." Wu Shang bowed.

Bai Lingxin smiled with relief and said, "Okay." Then she told him the purpose of her visit today and left.

An Shu wanted to stay and listen, but he was forcibly escorted away with his mouth covered. He was only released in the backyard. He asked in confusion, "No, aren't you curious?"

Rong Xun and An Yan looked at each other, smiled as if to say "you know what I'm doing", and prepared to eavesdrop by the door with a strong sense of surreptitiousness. Little Tuanzi also squatted at the bottom in tacit understanding.

An Shu scratched his head and joined the team.

However, just as they found their seats, Wushang came to the backyard with a normal expression, and faced four gossipy heads lined up neatly by the door.

No, it's so fast, isn't it? How many words can you say in such a short time?

"What are you doing?" Wushang asked doubtfully.

Little Tuanzi reacted the fastest. He immediately lowered his head and moved away. "Daddy and Mommy, the ants are going over there."

"Oh yes, follow him!" The three of them fled quickly, leaving only An Shu who didn't have time to escape and was caught. He experienced the deep love between master and disciple again.

It wasn't until dinner that everyone gathered together again.

The awkward moment had already passed. An Yan actively served soup to everyone. "Master, why did Aunt Bai leave so soon? You didn't even invite her to have a simple meal."

Wu Shang drank his soup slowly and said, "Children should stay out of the adult's business."

Tuanzi quickly covered his ears, and the other three stared at him with sharp eyes. Wushang was speechless.

He sighed and said earnestly, "She is my benefactor. You must respect her more than you respect me."

An Yan and the others nodded, "And then?"

Wu Shang thought for a moment, "Then the palace will hold a banquet tomorrow and invite us to go together. They will come to pick us up then."

An Yan asked desperately, "No more?"

"Gone."

"Okay~" Although An Yan was a little disappointed, there was nothing she could do. As for Master's Wife, it depended on the Master's willingness!

The next evening, people came from the palace to take them in. Leading them was Eunuch Fu, the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

Wushang and Anshu donned the exquisite clothes Rongxun had prepared for them, which made them look even more elegant. Tuanzi, Rongxun, and Anyan wore matching parent-child outfits.

Only the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress and their people attended this banquet. It was small in scale but high in standard. The table was set in a magnificent palace, and all the decorations were high-profile and luxurious. The exquisiteness of the dishes was comparable to the Manchu Han Banquet.

Wushang and Anshu were originally a little worried that these royal family members would be arrogant and look down on them, the people of the martial arts world, but they didn't expect them to be so approachable.

As they drank and chatted, Wushang happily agreed to their marriage.

The emperor promised that the entire process of three books and six ceremonies, from engagement to marriage, would be handled by the royal family in accordance with folk wedding etiquette and would surely be perfect and appropriate.

Wu Shang also nodded with satisfaction. The main reason was that he had never experienced it and didn't quite understand these customs. It would be great if someone could take charge.

The next day, the emperor issued an imperial decree granting the marriage.

Different from the concise and clear imperial decree for the eldest prince's marriage, this imperial decree was filled with praise for An Yan and sincere blessings for them.

It took Eunuch Fu half a quarter of an hour to finish reading, and he was so thirsty that his mouth was dry. Of course, he also received a few heavy purses and was grinning from ear to ear.

In addition to granting marriage and appointing An Yan as the Crown Princess, the emperor also directly issued an edict to determine Tuanzi's position as the Crown Prince.

The announcement of these two decrees caused an uproar in the imperial court. Families with daughters of marriageable age could not help but sigh in regret, but they could only whisper behind their backs. With the Empress's precedent in mind, they could not make a fuss about their daughters' origins.

Those who are quick-witted have already realized that although the current queen is also of commoner origin, she was adopted as an adopted daughter by the Huo family, which can be considered as improving her family background.

Now, this princess who came from the underworld must find a noble family to rely on. If her mother's family can be the royal grandson's maternal family, wouldn't it mean that she will be able to rise to prominence in the future?

There are quite a few people who think this way, so Wushang Pharmacy is crowded with people every day. Everyone gives gifts and tries to get close to the doctors under the pretext of seeing a doctor, which makes Wushang and Anshu confused.

Thinking that they all wanted to please An Yan, the future Crown Princess, Wu Shang confiscated all valuable gifts and only accepted the money for the medicinal materials.

After Rong Xun learned about this, he dealt with the most agitated families. After the court session, while the court officials were still there, he publicly criticized them, "Some people's abacus is beating too loudly, and the abacus beads are about to hit this prince in the face! Wushang Pharmacy is a place where people seek medical treatment and medicine. If anyone dares to use the excuse of treating patients to pursue selfish desires again, don't blame this prince for making you truly terminally ill and incurable!"

Rong Xun's threat did frighten some people, but some people were unwilling to give up and tactfully followed other people's ways, such as asking the Queen Mother for help.

The Queen Mother was not polite either, "Rong'an is a princess who was personally conferred by me. She has a noble status. You don't have the honor to be her mother's family!" After saying this, the man had no choice but to leave in shame.

There were also people who went directly to An Yan, but she sent them away.

When the waiter came to tell her that Xu Jingyi was looking for her, An Yan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Aunt Xu also wanted to adopt her as her adopted daughter? Wu Shang had already cleared all the toxins from her body, and her body was in perfect condition to bear her own children, so that shouldn't be the case, right?

Xu Jingyi was invited into the backyard. She was still as enthusiastic as ever, but a little shy and timid. "Yanyan, there's something I'm embarrassed to say..."
