Bai Jialuo was sitting not far away and knew that Princess An Ning and Lu Shiwan had a good relationship, so it was obvious that he said this on purpose.

But just now Lu Shiwan said that she was not feeling well and refused her aunt's request, which embarrassed her aunt.

If she refused, it would definitely cause her aunt's dissatisfaction.

She took a deep breath, then stood up and said, "Of course, I just learned a new dance recently, and it is a blessing for me to be able to perform at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

"But, I beg Your Majesty to allow me to change my clothes."

"That's right."

The emperor was not at all displeased by Lu Shiwan's refusal just now.

On the contrary, the Queen Mother was extremely happy after hearing what Lu Shiwan said, and hoped that they would have a baby soon.

Xu Zhaoyi has been serving her attentively for so many years, and Mo Qitian has secretly shown filial piety to her countless times over the years.

She also understood the struggles in the harem, so she never mentioned them in front of the emperor.

Lu Shiwan gave Princess An Ning an admiring look.

Not long after, Bai Jialuo changed into a light green dance costume and walked slowly into the hall.

The woman then nodded to the musician beside her, and the music slowly began.

The woman swayed slowly, twisting her slender waist and graceful figure, stretched out her arms softly, tapped her feet lightly, and danced with her graceful body in the hall.

The young men who were watching in the hall were all fascinated by the performance, and some even applauded.

Lu Shiwan sipped the tea and slowly raised his eyes.

His eyes met the Queen's in the air through Bai Jialuo.

The queen clenched her handkerchief tightly, her whole body shaking with anger.

Lu Shiwan's calm eyes almost made the queen gasp for breath.

"The dancing posture of Princess Jialuo is so beautiful. Look at her figure and smile. She really fascinates the young masters present."

Concubine De sat beside the Queen and exclaimed in admiration.

The Queen gave her a sidelong look of contempt, "De Fei really knows how to appreciate."

When Concubine De heard the Queen say this, she smiled and nodded, "I didn't think Princess Jialuo's dancing was so beautiful before, but after watching it carefully today, it is indeed extraordinary."

"If I were a man, I would like it too."

"Empress, Princess Jialuo has reached the age of marriage, right? Has she been betrothed to someone?"

Looking at the fluent Concubine De today, the Queen always felt something was strange. She never attended these banquets on weekdays, so why was she in such a refined mood today?

Is he feeling better?

She said leisurely, "De Fei, are you feeling well today?"

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I was able to come out today after taking some medicine. Otherwise, how could I have survived until now?" As if she had thought of something, Concubine De's eyes flashed, "Your Majesty, I like the flowers you gave me very much."

"I wonder where the Queen bought it? I want to buy some too."

The singing and dancing in the hall continued, and the sound of the music drowned out the conversation between the two men, so only the two of them could understand what they were saying.

Concubine De was naturally beautiful and charming. She had dressed up specially for today's banquet. If the Queen had not been wearing a phoenix dress, she would have been outshined.

The queen's eyes sparkled, "This flower...I saw it by accident once, and I always buy it from a flower shop."

"If Concubine De doesn't mind, I'll buy it for you?"

Concubine De thought about it and nodded, "That's fine. The Queen is really good to me."

"Then please help me buy more, Queen. I don't need this little money."

"Okay." It just so happened that she was short of money, so she could make some money from it. "When does Concubine De want it?"

"When the banquet is over, I will send someone to give the queen the silver."

The queen felt so happy that she got it without any effort.

"Hahaha, great, this stunning dance is really unique!" The emperor looked at Bai Jialuo below with admiration.

Bai Jialuo bowed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

"Reward, a huge reward!" After that, he asked, "Bai Jialuo, what reward do you want?"

Bai Jialuo bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I do not need any reward. Today is the Queen Mother's birthday. If I can make her smile, it will be the best reward."

The emperor looked at the general and then at the queen.

Then he smiled again and said, "How can I not reward you? I said I would reward you, so I will reward you!"

"You are now of marriageable age. How about I grant you a marriage?"

Bai Jialuo was overjoyed.

But I dare not show it.

Without waiting for her to reply, the emperor asked the queen beside him, "Queen, what kind of man do you think is suitable?"

The emperor's words really made the queen unable to guess what he meant.

But now that the emperor asked her, she had to answer.

The general sat at the bottom, holding his breath, listening to the conversation between his sister and the emperor.

At the same time, Bai Jialuo glanced at a man not far away, but saw that he didn't even look at her.

The Queen said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, I feel that this marriage must be chosen by Jialuo herself. A man marrying a woman must also seek fate. I just hope that she will live a happy life."

Bai Jialuo bit her lip.

What does this mean, aunt?

She had mentioned the man she liked to her aunt before, so why didn't she help him now that the emperor asked her?

"However, since the emperor has asked, I do have a candidate."

She finished her words.

The emperor's eyes changed slightly, and joy flashed in Bai Jialuo's eyes.

"He is the son of the Junior Minister of the Honglu Temple. He is well-educated and talented, and he is gentle and polite. I think he is a good person."

The emperor smiled instantly, "Are you talking about Lord Zhu's son?"

"Exactly."

Fu Jingheng looked at the man next to him.

He had dragged this guy here today, and was lucky enough to witness the process of his granted marriage?

Zhu Shaoyuan was stunned?

Become a son-in-law of the Bai family?

The Taiwei Mansion was involved in a case sixteen years ago, and is a sworn enemy of the current Hanlin Academy editor. Isn't he sending himself a coffin in advance?

He coughed lightly, slowly stood up, and bowed to the queen above.

"I never thought that I would receive such a high evaluation from the Queen, but my grandmother passed away not long ago, and a filial son and grandson need to observe mourning for three years. I am afraid that this will delay Miss Bai's visit."

"If Your Majesty does not mind, I have a candidate that I can recommend to Your Majesty."

The queen was a little unhappy at first, but after listening to his words, she felt that they made sense. Seeing that he was still praising her at this moment, she nodded and asked, "Who is the person recommended by Master Zhu?"

Zhu Shaoyuan looked at Fu Jingheng who was watching a good show beside him, and said with a smile: "The second son of General Fu's mansion, Fu Jingheng, is naturally intelligent, has a good temper, and can also please girls. I think he is suitable."

Fu Jingheng's face fell.

what?

This damn guy, knowing that he has someone he likes, actually dares to cause trouble for him here?

Hearing this, Princess An Ning, who was sitting far away, became angry and her face turned red.

She told Fu Jingheng not to follow Zhu Shaoyuan.

Don’t listen!

Now look what happened, this guy stabbed me in the back!

You deserve it for not listening to me!

Bai Yueguang is about to be lost, and he is going to marry Bai Jialuo, the arrogant eldest lady.

Zhu Shaoyuan added: "Brother Jingheng, Miss Bai is a rare woman in the imperial city, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Hurry up and agree to it!"
