After the banquet began.
Everyone understood that now that the Emperor had brought the Princess back, he cherished her as his own heart and soul.
So, it was inevitable that people would stand up one after another to flatter the little Princess.
Bai Xilie listened indifferently to those flattering words.
From beginning to end, his gaze was always fixed on his daughter.
Zhi’er, with her small hand on the edge of the table, looked at the crowd below with her big eyes.
From ti to ti, she opened her little mouth, and Bai Xilie would promptly feed her a spoonful of egg custard.
If soone’s praise brought an unusual expression to Zhi’er’s little face,
Bai Xilie would order rewards to be given.
If the little one just quietly ate, then Bai Xilie also had no reaction.
This made the Civil and Military Officials understand!
To please the Princess was to please the Emperor!
Imdiately, there were more and more people standing up, toasting and praising Zhi’er.
A little girl sitting next to a man with eagle eyes, seeing everyone praising Zhi’er, disdainfully pouted.
She spoke in a low voice, yet with displeasure.
"Tch, what’s so great about that."
At this mont, among the ministers at the banquet, suddenly, an official stood up.
"Emperor!" That person raised his voice, speaking loudly.
Bai Xilie looked up, slightly raising his sharp eyebrows.
This official was none other than the Historian Lord Wang, who had recently publicly doubted whether the Princess was inauspicious in court.
"Minister Wang, it is currently alti, so speak fewer words, lest you spoil my mood."
Today his daughter was present, and he did not want to harbor murderous thoughts.
Bai Xilie made no secret of his displeasure toward him.
Not stripping Lord Wang of his official position and sending him ho to farm was already more than generous!
He still dared to push himself forward?
Bai Xilie simply ignored him.
He lowered his head, gently stroking his daughter’s small head.
"Zhi’er, what else would you like to eat?"
Zhi’er’s bright black eyes, however, were looking at Historian Wang below.
The little one’s attention was completely drawn away.
Only to see Historian Wang lift his robe and stride to the center of the great hall.
Subsequently, his knees softened, and he directly knelt down.
The crowd, which had been noisy just now, imdiately fell silent, and everyone turned their gaze toward him.
Everyone knew that Historian Wang had a forthright character and was soone who would speak with loyalty and candor, even if Bai Xilie did sothing wrong!
A person unafraid of death actually knelt down in public!
Could it be that he was truly frightened these past few days by the Emperor’s difficulties?
Bai Xilie raised his eyebrows, speaking in an inscrutable tone: "What is this you are doing?"
Historian Wang cupped his hands, his expression solemn: "Emperor, earlier, I offended the Princess in the morning court. Now, having reflected deeply, it is ti to fulfill my promise and apologize to the Princess!"
Zhi’er had once said that if she could prove to everyone that she was not inauspicious!
Then, Historian Wang must apologize and restore the Princess’s innocence!
"I will record the Princess’s deeds of relieving the people in the records, leaving a na in history for future generations to admire and respect!"
"I have realized the harm of believing rumors. I entreat the Emperor and Princess Your Highness to punish . Even if it ans execution, I will have no complaints."
"But I humbly ask the Emperor to grant two days’ ti, so that once I have inscribed the Princess’s good na into the historical records, I will then et my death!"
He spoke with a resolute air, like one with a steely resolve, daring to admit his previous mistakes.
Others thought this Historian Wang was foolish!
The Emperor hadn’t even ntioned this matter, yet he brought it up himself.
Wasn’t this him wanting to shorten his own life!
Bai Xilie’s eyes were deep, and he tapped the table with his finger, staring at Historian Wang with profound aning.
