Crazy or What? The Gloomy Prince Kisses Me to Tears Every Night! Chapter 23: How Can You Get Beautiful Jewelry Without Compet

Upon hearing Bai Wanwan’s words, Qing Zhi instinctively clenched her fists, feeling sowhat excited.

But she couldn’t help but say, "But Miss, what if the Third Prince lets you down? Wouldn’t that be handing a victory to the eldest Miss?"

Bai Wanwan sneered, "Don’t worry, Brother Wu Chen won’t go back on his word, I have faith in him."

Of course, she wasn’t completely trusting that Feng Wuchen wouldn’t change his heart; her confidence was in herself.

The reason she was so sure Feng Wuchen wouldn’t betray her was because she told Feng Wuchen that she has the ability to prophesy.

After being reincarnated, she managed to connect with Feng Wuchen using mories of her past life, portraying herself in front of him as a Destiny Daughter with prophetic powers.

It was also thanks to her previous life where she had once helped Feng Changge with strategies, learning many secrets, that she quickly gained Feng Wuchen’s trust, making him believe she could foresee dreams.

Even when Feng Wuchen eventually ascends the throne, he certainly wouldn’t want to part with her prophetic abilities.

Once she successfully becos the Empress, she would then tell him that her mission is completed, claiming her prophetic powers have vanished.

In this way, there’s no worry about being exposed.

...

Seeing Bai Wanwan’s confidence, Qing Zhi nodded and said, "That’s right, Miss, you’ve done so much for the Third Prince, he will surely rember your kindness, n always cherish won who silently support them in difficult tis."

Just like your birth mother, although she was born a servant, she still tended to the master with care during his setbacks.

Even though he later married an aristocratic lady, his heart still rembered the affection of the concubine and treated her well.

It’s a pity fate was unkind, taking the master early, and the concubine followed him, leaving Miss alone in the mansion, overshadowed by Bai Susu’s favor.

Bai Wanwan nodded slightly.

However, she coldly thought: n are historically unfaithful and true love is sothing she doesn’t expect anymore; all she wants is enough status and power.

What if Bai Susu is the legitimate daughter? What if the old one always favors Bai Susu?

Soon, she’ll have them all kneeling before her!

...

Last night, Emperor Feng Qingyang granted marriage to Bai Susu and Feng Qiwu in front of the civil and military officials, yet he hadn’t issued a formal decree.

Thus, as soon as Pri Minister Bai was out of court, he was stopped by Chief Eunuch Li Cheng.

"Pri Minister Bai, wait for ! I am going to deliver the decree to Bai Mansion, shall we go together?" Li Cheng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Pri Minister Bai imdiately halted and bowed to Li Cheng, "Of course! Please, Mr. Li, lead the way!"

Li Cheng was close to the Emperor and not soone to offend lightly.

Even as a Pri Minister, he couldn’t hold disdain for him just because he’s a eunuch.

Subsequently, they proceeded forward together.

On the way, Li Cheng whispered to Pri Minister Bai, "Don’t worry, Mr. Bai, the Emperor knows you and Miss Bai were reluctant regarding the engagent with the Crown Prince, but since the Crown Prince requested it publicly, the Emperor couldn’t refuse, right? The Emperor asked to assure you that Bai Susu will enter the Eastern Palace unhard, you needn’t worry about her safety."

Pri Minister Bai’s fondness and concern for his legitimate granddaughter Bai Susu was well-known in the Capital City.

But now, Miss Bai was targeted by that reckless Crown Prince, and although Pri Minister Bai agreed to the marriage for the Royal Family’s dignity, he must’ve been uncomfortable inside.

Moreover, the Crown Prince often lost control, who knows if Miss Bai could be caught in the chaos and lose her life?

If unfortunate events lead to Miss Bai’s demise at the Crown Prince’s hand, Pri Minister Bai would be in a difficult position.

That’s why the Emperor specially had him convey assurances to Pri Minister Bai about Bai Susu’s safety.

...

Upon hearing Li Cheng’s words, Pri Minister Bai indeed showed a relieved expression and said reassuringly, "With the Emperor’s word, I am at ease, you know, the Bai Family’s direct line has only Susu, if possible, I truly don’t wish for her to marry into the Royal Family, I only hope she lives a healthy and peaceful life."

Li Cheng imdiately nodded empathically, "Exactly, rest assured, the Emperor knows what’s in his heart, Miss Bai will not be hard after marrying."

"Hmm." Pri Minister Bai nodded.

Yet internally, he didn’t quite believe Li Cheng’s words.

He had served with Feng Qingyang for decades, all too aware of his suspicious and domineering nature.

The Crown Prince beca what he is today partly due to the Emperor’s influence; if he truly wanted a good marriage for the Crown Prince, why wait until now?

Of all the esteed young ladies in the city, the Emperor least wanted soone like Susu to marry the Crown Prince.

However, as the Crown Prince had ritoriously saved the Emperor yesterday and openly requested Susu’s hand, he had no choice but to agree to this marriage.

Sending Li Cheng to speak these assurances was rely implying that he’ll ensure Susu’s survival in the Crown Prince Mansion but only if Pri Minister Bai remains loyal to the Crown Prince.

...

Upon returning to the Pri Minister’s Mansion, Pri Minister Bai promptly instructed the butler to inform Bai Susu to co and receive the decree.

Soon enough, Bai Susu arrived briskly, gracefully performing her courtesy, kneeling down.

Inside, she couldn’t help but complain: These old-fashioned rules of kneeling constantly are quite demanding on one’s knees!

Li Cheng soon unfurled the imperial edict and started reciting, showering praise on Bai Susu and acclaiming her marriage to Feng Qiwu as a heavenly match.

Bai Susu accepted the decree with feigned modesty, "Thank you for the imperial grace."

Then, Li Cheng gave a subtle gesture to the young eunuch beside him.

Several young eunuchs imdiately approached, holding trays covered with red silk, "These are gifts from the Emperor to Miss Bai, please accept them!"

To appease Bai Susu, Feng Qingyang brought forth a plethora of treasures this ti.

With a glance, Bai Susu spotted several sets of incredibly ornate gemstone headdresses, previously seen only in docuntaries, among which was a veil made of pure gold.

The exquisite and luxurious craftsmanship made Bai Susu unwittingly reveal an expression of amazent.

Although she was not particularly interested in jewelry or fashion, keeping busy with work in modern tis, usually tying her hair with a simple elastic and wearing only a watch for ti, she had never adorned herself with any accessories.

But these adornnts were too beautiful, simply works of art!

Now she understood why in palace dramas, the concubines fought intensely for favor.

Without vying for attention, how could one have the privilege to possess such splendid and delicate ornants?
