CHAPTER 25: CHAPTER 25: ONLY HOPE HE WILL SOON PRODUCE HEIRS FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY

However, Bai Susu wasn’t interested, while Chuntao and Nuanxia were eager, "Miss, shall we help you try on this jewelry set?"

"Miss, you’ll definitely look stunning! This set is truly magnificent!" The two exclaimed in awe as they looked at the ruby jewelry set in the box before them.

Seeing this, Bai Susu shook her head and said, "Forget it, it’s too much trouble."

"How is it any trouble? Miss, I can do your hair very quickly!" Chuntao immediately expressed.

Seeing the curiosity and anticipation on their faces, Bai Susu had to nod, "Alright, let’s give it a try then."

In fact, if not for dressing Bai Susu, the two wouldn’t even dare to touch this set.

So when Bai Susu agreed, they immediately picked up the comb energetically and got busy.

Soon, Bai Susu’s hair was styled into a beautiful bun.

She couldn’t help but marvel at Chuntao’s exquisite skill.

In modern times, this hairstyle would require a pile of hairpins to secure, but Chuntao didn’t need any of those, just wove her fingers skillfully through her hair to finish it off.

Then they began to adorn her with jewelry.

A moment later, a head that looked very expensive appeared in the bronze mirror.

At the same time, Chuntao and Nuanxia both gasped, "Miss, you are too beautiful! This set seems tailor-made just for you!"

As Bai Susu’s personal maids, they naturally knew that Bai Susu was actually very beautiful, and she was the type that men easily favored.

But Miss herself was not very fond of her own looks and always had them style her more mature and steady.

Now all dressed up like this, her beauty was fully showcased, even as women, they couldn’t help but be moved!

...

Bai Susu herself was somewhat dazzled looking at her reflection in the mirror at this moment.

The original owner’s face was truly suited for this kind of radiant and affluent floral appearance.

Simply a peerless beauty in the world.

However, in ancient times, being too beautiful was also a sin, and knowing how to conceal one’s beauty was actually a wise choice.

Otherwise, not to mention how many noble sons would covet her beauty, even the old emperor might not be able to resist.

She didn’t believe for a second that the old emperor would respect Prime Minister Bai enough to forgo a stunning beauty.

After appreciating her breathtaking beauty for a while, Bai Susu finally said faintly, "Take the jewelry off."

Beautiful it may be, but it was making her neck sore.

Hearing this, Chuntao and Nuanxia reluctantly removed the accessories from her head and said, "If Miss wears this set to a banquet, you’ll surely outshine everyone."

"Among all the noble ladies in the capital, there’s no one more beautiful than you, Miss."

Bai Susu couldn’t help but smile at this and said, "Alright, for a woman, beauty can be a crime at times, understand?"

The two fell silent.

After all, what Miss said wasn’t wrong.

This world is harsh on women, and even though Miss is the Prime Minister’s granddaughter, standing out too much isn’t necessarily a good thing.

...

After returning to a normal appearance, Bai Susu told Nuanxia, "Go get me the few medical books from my study."

Although she studied Western medicine, she always had an interest in Chinese medicine.

It’s just that in modern times, the tradition of Chinese medicine has long been interrupted, with few skilled old Chinese doctors left.

Now that she’s reached ancient times, she naturally intends to seize the opportunity to study Chinese medicine thoroughly.

Nuanxia nodded immediately, "Please wait a moment, Miss, I’ll get them right away."

Then she quickly walked to the nearby small study, found the medical books Bai Susu wanted, and brought them over.

After taking the medical books, Bai Susu carefully opened them and started reading.

Seeing this, Chuntao and Nuanxia immediately stopped speaking and busied themselves with their tasks.

When Miss reads, she dislikes being disturbed by any noise.

And Bai Susu quickly immersed herself in the medical books.

She was originally an outstanding medical student; although she hadn’t systematically studied Chinese medicine before, understanding these ancient medical books was very easy for her.

The more she read, the more she marveled at the wisdom of the ancestors, and the more reluctant she became to let go of the books in her hands.

Not until Chuntao came over to remind her it was time for lunch did Bai Susu reluctantly put down the medical books, her eyes bright.

After eating, Bai Susu immediately seized the opportunity to start reading the medical books again, approaching them more seriously than preparing for college entrance exams.

Moreover, having inherited the original owner’s photographic memory, once Bai Susu read through the content, she wouldn’t forget it.

Seeing this, Chuntao and Nuanxia couldn’t help but exchange glances.

Since when did Miss become so interested in medical books?

...

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

After Li Cheng returned, he earnestly recounted the details of delivering the imperial edict to the Emperor.

Feng Qingyang chuckled and indeed said, "Desire is a good thing."

Without desires, things become stagnant; if Bai Susu had nothing she liked, he wouldn’t be reassured to let her monitor the Crown Prince!

Then he asked, "Is there any news from the Astronomical Bureau?"

"Your Majesty, the Astronomical Bureau has matched the birth dates and times of the Crown Prince and Miss Bai, and finalized the engagement and wedding dates."

"The engagement is set for the first day of next month, and the wedding for the fifteenth of the following month, all on auspicious days," Li Cheng respectfully reported.

Only then did the Emperor nod, "I understand, have people start preparing the betrothal gifts immediately; this affair must be handled with grand splendor."

The Crown Prince’s wedding must be ostentatiously organized.

Moreover, to ease Prime Minister Bai’s concerns, he must show seriousness towards this marriage.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, this old servant will oversee it personally," Li Cheng immediately responded.

Only then did the Emperor nod, then suddenly sighed lightly, "Now that the Crown Prince’s marriage is settled, I can finally be at ease. Among all the princes, he’s the only one without a woman by his side, how could I not worry?"

Li Cheng immediately laughed, "Your Majesty’s heartfelt love for your son, the Crown Prince will surely understand."

"I don’t expect him to understand this, just hope that after marriage, he can overcome that disdain for having women close, and hopefully soon provide heirs to the Royal Family." The Emperor sighed again, seeming so worried that Feng Qiwu still had no offspring.

Li Cheng quickly said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, since it is a lady the Crown Prince personally chose to marry, she should not be the same as those in the past whom he wouldn’t touch."

In his mind, he thought: It seems Miss Bai shouldn’t expect to have children anytime soon.

This also shows that the Emperor’s guard against the Crown Prince has never truly been lowered.
