Marriage arrangement

"This is absolutely outrageous! I will report this to the Emperor, Prince Chen!"

Baili Zhentao's anger was soaring. In his entire life, he had been respected by others. When had he ever felt so humiliated?

"Master, why don't you confront that girl directly?" Su Wanjing voiced her dissatisfaction.

"Do you think that after that girl has achieved success, she wants to repair the father-daughter relationship between you?" The current Baili Hongzhuang was becoming popular, whether it was for her medical skills or her elixirs. Most of the powerful figures in the Imperial City wanted to befriend her, so Baili Zhentao's thoughts were not surprising.

"Nonsense!" Baili Zhentao scolded angrily. "You have no business interfering in this matter!"

If the other party could break his hand, they could also take his life. Compared to losing face, his life was more important!

Upon being berated by Baili Zhentao, a hint of glistening tears appeared in Su Wanjing's eyes.

Over the years, the General had always treated her exceptionally well, never even saying a harsh word to her.

But now, because of Baili Hongzhuang, she had been reprimanded by the General multiple times!

Baili Yuyan looked at the saddened Su Wanjing and stood up. "Father, anyone with eyes can see that Baili Hongzhuang is causing all this trouble. Why are you protecting that girl?"

"If you have the ability to surpass that girl, I wouldn't be so troubled!" Baili Yuyan's face turned pale, and she had developed an intense hatred for Baili Hongzhuang. If it weren't for Baili Hongzhuang, their family wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

In the palace, Xuan Yuantian and Jiang Jinying were playing chess together. Xuan Yuantian placed a black piece and said, "General Baili must be furious right now."

Jiang Jinying followed suit and placed a white piece. "He brought it upon himself. If General Baili hadn't mistreated Baili Hongzhuang, she wouldn't have resorted to such actions. I think Baili Hongzhuang is quite impressive."

"Oh?" Xuan Yuantian raised an eyebrow. "You think Baili Hongzhuang is good?"

Jiang Jinying nodded with a faint smile. "I think she's a remarkable girl. What does Your Majesty think?"

"General Baili made a mistake this time. Otherwise, Baili Hongzhuang would have been a suitable Crown Princess." Xuan Yuantian sighed.

If he hadn't found out about it too late, he wouldn't have annulled the engagement between Huan'er and Baili Hongzhuang. But a king must keep his word.

"Today, the news of Emperor Beichen's betrothal has spread throughout the entire Imperial City, completely humiliating General Baili. If General Baili comes to lodge a complaint, Your Majesty..."

Jiang Jinying hesitated, knowing that Emperor Beichen's identity was extremely special. The Emperor was in a difficult position.

"Just console General Baili." Xuan Yuantian's eyes flickered with complex emotions.

"Although it has been three years, there have been no signs from above. We can't be complacent. Emperor Beichen is off-limits."

Jiang Jinying's gaze hardened as he understood Xuan Yuantian's meaning. This time, they would have to endure the inconvenience caused to General Baili.

Time passed slowly, and in the following days, Baili Hongzhuang never saw Emperor Beichen because he was busy preparing for their wedding.

Instead, she had become completely idle, shuttling between the Divine Physician's Courtyard and the Perfume Garden, paying no attention to the wedding preparations.

However, the Perfume Garden underwent significant changes. Emperor Beichen sent waves of maids, servants, and little boys to decorate the Perfume Garden.

The garden was filled with a vibrant red color, exuding an atmosphere of joy. The servants busily moved around with cheerful expressions on their faces.

Their prince was finally getting married!
