When a young miss in a beautiful purple dress stands up and said, "I'm here your majesty!
Everyone just stared at her, the whole banquet is silent. All the people in the banquet wonders who's that beautiful young miss.
Even though she had her face covered with a silk handkerchief, you can still tell she must be one very beautiful lady, especially with that perfect looking body of her. All the man at the banquet can't take their eyes off her. All the women stared at her with jealousy and hate.
"Who might you be, and why do you have your face cover-up," asked the emperor.
"I'm Ba Yue, your majesty. Please excuse the way I look, I covered my face up because I wasn't feeling well. I didn't want to get other sick when I cough", says Ba Yue as she uses her hand to remove the silk handkerchief that's covering her face.
It was complete silents once again in the banquet room, it was so quiet that you can hear the fly when it flies by. It took the emperor and everyone else a whole minute to snap out of it.
Shock, surprise, unbelief, hate, regret, jealousy, just lots of different emotions going through different people in the banquet room.
"You are Ba Yue? You look uh….somewhat different than the rumors," says the emperor while turning his head to look at Master Ba, trying to get a confirmation from him.
"Your majesty, you might not know, but my daughter has been in an accident almost 3 months ago. She was in a coma for more than a month, during that time she has lost some weight. When she woke up, she was very weak and had no appetite to eat at all.
We happen to meet a highly skilled doctor who was also a pill refiner that was passing by. He made some pills that helped my daughter's body get better and also to detox her body. He also recommends that my daughter do martial art to strengthen her body. Since then, my daughter has changed so much and is a lot healthier!"
Of course, none of the above said by Master Ba is true. It was just something Ba Yue and the family came up with. They cannot let others know about Madame Ba's secret books and treasure.
With surprise and unbelieve in his eye, the emperor asked, "Who and where is this doctor and pill refiner now? Master Ba, you have to introduce him to me! Said the emperor very excitingly. It will be great for the country if we can have such a talent!
"Your Majesty, he has already left the country. He was just a wanderer that just happened to pass by. He's originally from one of the big counties in the Northside." Said Master Ba as he continues to lie his way out.
The emperor has disappointment in his eyes but was soon vanished when he thought about it. A talent like that will never stay in a small country like this especially if he was originally from a bigger country.
He then turns to look at Ba Yue from top to bottom, he looked at her long and hard that he can almost see through her! But he was surprised! Surprised at how Ba Yue is so different from the rumors! He is actually very happy now that his beloved little seven wants to marry this beautiful young miss!
The Ba Yue now has the beauty that can easily surpass the so-called 4 big beauties. When comparing Ba Yue to the 4 big beauties, it is like comparing a heavenly maiden to a lowly human. Not only that, Ba Yue is the only daughter of Ba Family, one of the big 4 families! This kind of young miss is best suited for my little seven!
On the other hand, there were also 2 men that couldn't take their eyes of Ba Yue. It is the 2nd prince and Li Dong Man.
Prince Feng regrets now, he regrets bulling Ba Yue in the past. Regrets that he tries to set the idiot younger brother up with Ba Yue just now. But it's not too late, as long as Ba Yue don't agree to the engagement he still has a chance!
As for Li Dong Man, he just can't believe that is actually the real Ba Yue. He knew Ba Yue for a long time so he can see the resemblance between the young miss there and Ba Yue, that is definitely Ba Yue! But how can it be? How can she change so much? If I knew she would look like that, I wouldn't even bother going after Tang Wen Yi.
But it's still not too late yet! As long as she doesn't agree to be engaged to the idiot 7th prince, I still have a chance. Ba Yue has liked me for a long time, she won't reject me!
As Li Dong Man keep dreaming by himself, he didn't notice Tang Wen Yi was staring at him with her angry eyes! She mad, very mad! He told her that he didn't like that fatty Ba Yue, but now has his eyes glued to her just because she has a little change!
" Big sister, big sister, is that really you? You look so different! You are so beautiful now! Of course, you were very beautiful before too!, says 7th Prince as he runs toward where Ba Yue is.
When other people hear what he had just said, they were all speechless! They thought that there must be something wrong with the 7th prince for thinking the past Ba Yue is beautiful and wanted to marry her. But now, all they think is that this 7th prince has good eyes for diamonds in the rough!
" Your majesty, I can agree to the engagement under 1 condition." Says Ba Yue, as she ignores the 7th prince that just came running to her.
"What is your condition?" asked the emperor with a slightly unhappy tone. How can this girl request for a condition? She should be happy that my little seven wants to marry her! She should know her place. If she wasn't the young miss of Ba Family and the girl my little seven likes so much, I would have punished her already!
"I agree to the engagement with the 7th prince under the condition that after marriage, we don't have to live in the palace." Said Ba Yue with seriously in her eyes.
She knew the emperor is going to force her to get engaged to one of her son tonight no matter what. It will bring trouble to the Ba family if she refuses. If she really has to choose from one of the princes, then she might as well choose the innocent, naive 7th prince.
The 7th prince probably doesn't even know what the real meaning behind marriage is. Which is perfect! I don't need a man in my life. But the real trouble is, I don't want to live in the palace and have eyes on me all the time. I have many things to do, I don't want to be bound by a person or a place.
Usually, when a prince has become an adult or has gotten married, whichever one comes first. They will have to leave the palace and live outside the palace. They will be given a mansion by the emperor to live in.
But there is always an exception, for example, the 7th prince! He is the only one still living in the palace. All other princes have moved out already. But since the 7th prince is a "little" special according to the emperor and is his favorite son, he allowed him to continue living in the palace with him.
"Pleaassee, imperial father, please agree! I'm a big boy now, I can live by myself and take care of myself." Said the 7th princes, with his big watery eyes that looks like he's about to cry if the emperor refuses.
The emperor looked at his son and shook his head helplessly. Instead of his son marrying a wife into the family, he felt like he's marrying off his son.
" I agree to your condition, you two can get engaged for now and we will talk about the marriage date later on," says the emperor. He then wrote the official engagement letter onto a scroll and gave it to Ba Yue.
Ba Yue has received the engagement scroll from the emperor and thanked him for the engagement. The rest of the night, everybody keeps talking about Ba Yue and her engagement to the 7th prince.
The banquet finally ends, the Ba's family left in the same horse carriage that they came with.
"Ah Yue, are you sure about this? This is not a game, it is about your happiness," says Master Ba with his eyebrows squeezing tight.
"Little Yue, you don't have to marry the 7th prince if you don't want to. We can figure something out," says Ba Jing.
"His Majesty has already posted the engagement notice and given the official engagement scroll to little Yue, I don't think we can change it now. And Little Yue has also agreed to it herself." Said Ba Zhi with an expressionless face, but it can't stop the worries showing in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm really okay with it. You know the emperor is going to force me to choose one of his sons no matter what. The emperor wants our Ba Family as his backing, so he would never allow me to marry any other big families since I'm the only daughter of this family.
If I really have to choose one of the princes, I think the 7th prince is the best choice, because he is his majesty's favorite son and he is not after the throne. With the 7th prince, I don't have to worry about him vying for the throne and interference with government."
After listening to Ba Yue's reason and reassurance, her father and brothers didn't day anymore.
They arrived back home safely and go rest for the night. The next morning they were awakened with commotions!
