Sure enough, the fifth princess did not pursue the investigation, but left first. Luo Jitong took Cheng Shao Shan to the front hall where the female family was located, and told her to remember to be cautious in her words and deeds in the palace, otherwise it would cause trouble for herself and her family. Compared with the previous banquets, the female family members present today are mostly princesses. Among these people, only the fourth and fifth princesses are not yet married.

The Cheng family came from no bigger family than the aristocratic family, and the glory of the whole family basically came from Cheng Shi, so that his status in the capital was still high, which led to Cheng Shao Shan being cold-eyed and bullied after he entered the play. In particular, Wang Ai and Cheng Shao Shan disliked each other, and in private they often sow discord with the Fifth Princess, deliberately mocking Cheng Shao Shan's humble background and only deserved to sit at the bottom of the table.

However, Cheng Shao Shan did not easily let go of those who have repeatedly embarrassed her and criticized each other. The third princess and the fifth princess quarreled endlessly because of each other's marriage. Just when Cheng Shao Shan felt bored and was unprepared to eat the pancakes she brought with her, the fifth princess began to accuse Cheng Shao Shan of lack of education and difficult to be elegant.

Cheng Shao Shan obviously forgot Luo Jitong's warning, and satirized that the Fifth Princess had no knowledge at all, and only a few words left the Fifth Princess speechless.  Cheng Shao Shao got kicked and was going to fall, fortunately, Ling Bu Yi  appeared in tim. Ling Buy Yi carried her and placed her gently down and help her put her shoe on in front of everyone. 

The female family members present were all stunned by Ling Bu Yi 's aura, even though Ling Bu Yi was insinuating the two princesses, they didn't dare to refute, and they all gave way for a while. Seeing that Ling Bu Yi  took Cheng Shao Shan's hand and walked directly to the main hall, everyone had different expressions, and the maid complained for Luo Jitong. This cannot be mentioned any more.

Ling Bu Yi  let Cheng Shao Shan sit next to him, and several princes joked when they saw it. They had already heard about Chenglou's withdrawal from their relatives before, so their eyes on Cheng Shao Shan became unclear. When the Empress brought Cheng Shi and his wife and Wan Songbai in from the door, Ling Bu Yi  begged Emperor Wen to act as an elder in public and formally proposed to Cheng Shao Shan's parents. 

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, but Emperor Wen was overjoyed. They thought they would struggle for a long time, but they didn't expect to hear the good news now. Just as Emperor Wen was about to announce his marriage, Xiao Yuanyi strongly objected and deliberately downplayed Cheng Shao's misdemeanor. It seemed to be well-behaved and pleasant, but in fact it was eloquent and difficult to match with Ling Bu Yi .

Listening to her mother's evaluation of herself in public, Cheng Shao Shan felt extremely embarrassed and insulted. Emperor Wen was very dissatisfied with the Cheng family's response and ordered them to think about it before answering. However, Cheng Shiying and Xiao Yuanyi's attitudes preferred to resign and return to their hometown. Although Xiao Yuanyi described Cheng Shao Shan as vulgar, Ling Bu Yi  insisted that Cheng Shao Shan was in his heart the best in the land. Although she was not like other ordinary gentle boudoir girls, she was the best girl in the world. He vowed he would only marry Cheng Shao Shan and nobody else.

Cheng Shao Shan was deeply moved. When facing Emperor Wen's question, she looked at her parents for a moment, and finally decided to agree to the marriage. The crown prince was overjoyed and took the lead in congratulating Ling Bu Yi, followed by several princes. In the midst of the noise, Yuchang County Master heard the result through the screen, and passed out with anger on the spot.

The Fifth Princess and Wang Ji gritted their teeth, looking fierce and wanting to eat people. On the other hand, the ladies who had admired Ling Bu Yi  were basically full of grief. Emperor Wen didn't take it seriously at all. Have a few more drinks at the banquet.

After the palace banquet was over, the Cheng family was relatively speechless on the way back, Xiao Yuanyi walked into the main hall and immediately scolded Cheng Shao Shan and told her to get down on her knees. Cheng Shao Shan felt that Xiao Yuanyi looked down on her, whether it was Lou Yao or Ling Bu Yi, they had already become high climbers. If Cheng Cha had done it, this would definitely not have happened.

However, Cheng Shao Shan didn't understand that the Marquis of Chengyang Mansion was better than the Lou family. When she learned of Ling Bu Yi 's situation through her parents, she thought for a moment and decided to marry Ling Bu Yi anyways. If she refused the marriage it would bring down not just her but her whole family and clan, and that would be a great sin. She said there is no way she dan refuse, and that she will take on the burden herself by herself.

Cheng Shao Shan's wry smile and self-deprecation sounded quite uncomfortable to Cheng Shi and his wife, Xiao Yuanyi was extremely helpless, and now he had to agree to the marriage. The figures of the mother and daughter running in opposite directions make Cheng Shi have mixed feelings.

At the same time, Chunyu's family made a pure gold portrait for Princess Ruyang, thanking her for taking care of her over the years, and deliberately pretending to be pitiful to express her grievances in Chengyang Houfu. Princess Ruyang comforted Chunyu not to be too concerned. Anyway, she was the wife of the Duke of Chengyang, and she had never felt ashamed of Ling Bu Yi's mother and son. While the two were talking, the Yuchang County Master came back crying, and bluntly said that Ling Bu Yi  had asked for a marriage in public to wed Cheng Shao Shan. She said that made her loose face in front of everyone and that she is way better than Cheng Shao Shan. The old hag princess Ruyang comforted the stupid ignorant Yuchang County Master. The ugly Chunyu said she will go home and tell her stupid husband to talk to Ling Bu Yi and let him know the marriage was going to be a bad idea.
