In her previous life, when she received the invitation to the Plum Blossom Banquet, she already had a good impression of Xie Xingyun.
Hence, she also went.
At that time, Bai Yu'er had just arrived at the Manor and was about the same age as her. Therefore, the two of them quickly got along well together and for a period of time, they were as close as biological sisters.
Initially, Bai Yu'er was not invited to the banquet. However, Bai Yu'er begged her to bring her along to see the world, so she brought her along.
That was also her first time meeting Eldest Princess Jing An.
"I didn't expect her to invite Bai Yu'er. Not long ago, I heard that the Eldest Princess wanted to use this opportunity to choose a wife for Young Marquis Xie."
Bai Xianyu took a sip of hot tea. The fragrant mist made her snow-white facial features look even more ethereal.
Although some accidents happened in this life, Eldest Princess Jing An had directly invited Bai Yu'er.
"If nothing goes wrong, Bai Yu'er might be able to be his concubine," Bai Xianyu said.
Green Pearl tilted her head and said in bewilderment, "Miss, don't you have too much confidence in Bai Yu'er? Eldest Princess Jing An was previously bent on finding a princess or a county princess for Young Marquis Xie to be his wife. Bai Yu'er is not as good-looking as you. If Young Marquis has taken a liking to you first, I'm afraid he won't like any of these people."
Bai Xianyu said, "But it has nothing to do with me. He has to get married."
However, the Eldest Princess's actions this time made her start to consider her own marriage.
The Northern Garrison Marquis Manor had always been neutral in the court. Although Eldest Princess Jing An was arrogant, she knew what the bottom line of her Emperor brother was, and she had never been involved in these overt fights and covert struggles.
However, her Eldest Brother, Bai Tanshen, held military power and was a popular person that every faction wanted to recruit. Even that person in the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony…
Bai Xianyu frowned slightly. Even if she did not care about her marriage, there were plenty of people who would "worry" about her. When the time came, she had no choice but to accept the decree.
Instead of falling into a passive situation, it was better to strike preemptively and arrange a marriage first.
A tall tree attracts the wind. It would be best if the party to be engaged did not have any real power, but was passable on the surface.
The first person to be eliminated was Xie Xingyun.
Just as Bai Xianyu was thinking, hurried footsteps came from outside the door. The maidservant came in and bowed. "Miss, may peace be with you. The Marquis of Dingyuan's wife came to the residence just now and said that she wanted to invite you to the Flower Appreciation banquet."
"This is an invitation from the Marquis of Dingyuan's Manor."
Green Pearl took it and handed it to Bai Xianyu. The intent of this invitation was no different from the previous letter from the Eldest Princess, but the person who was being invited had changed.
Bai Xianyu's gaze flickered. "Got it. You can leave first."
"Yes."
"Miss, the heavens really have eyes. Didn't that person want to embarrass you? Great, now the Marquis of Dingyuan's wife has personally sent an invitation to our door. Hmph, it's time for them to see that our Miss is very popular," Green Pearl said with a smile as she looked at the invitation in the young lady's hand.
Bai Xianyu did not say anything. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Miss, are you going to the Marquis of Dingyuan's Manor? I think Young Marquis Lin is also a talented person who knows how to dote on others. Moreover, the Marquis of Dingyuan's wife is known for being kind and charitable. She has liked Miss since you were young."
She had almost forgotten.
The Marquis of Dingyuan's Manor had a clear sense of loyalty and righteousness. The Old Marquis had done his best for the former Emperor to the point of exhaustion, and he had few children. He only had one son, Lin Xingjian. Although he had inherited the Marquis title, he did not have any real power. Moreover, he had always been on good terms with Fourth Brother. In her previous life, he had even been implicated and demoted when he pleaded for Fourth Brother. If she was engaged to him and planned ahead with him, it was not impossible to ensure the stability of the General's Manor.
After pondering for a long time, Bai Xianyu said, "I'll go."
