Chapter 62: A Blind Date

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Lantern Festival had always been lively.

After Bai Xianyu had a reunion dinner with her brothers at home, she left the residence with Green Pearl.

As the late Emperor and the Empress had met each other at the Lantern Festival, and got married after some twists and turns, therefore, on this night, from the nobles down to the common people, it was customary to give flowers to one’s sweetheart to express one’s love. The girls who were yet to be married often wore veils to cover their faces. In this way, the girls could be differentiated from the women.

Green Pearl was an attendant, but Bai Xianyu also made her wear a veil. In fact, she quite hoped that Green Pearl could find someone to be her companion of life.

The sky was already completely dark. The streets and alleys were bustling with activity. Festive lanterns hung on the restaurants, in front of the teahouse, and on the lion dance platform… The voices of people mixed with the sounds of gongs and drums rose and fell. It was as beautiful as a dream; people were holding all kinds of lanterns in their hands. Not far away, the water was illuminated by the moon with a faint silver glow. The clusters of treasure ships at the pier were also lit up with swaying lights, and the river lamps of blessings were floating among them.

Bai Xianyu hugged an earthenware hot-water bottle in her arms, and Green Pearl followed closely beside her with a rabbit lantern.

“Miss, there’s only the Young Master of the Dingbei Marquis family left.”

Bai Xianyu looked at the small note in her hand. A list of candidates had already been crossed out. The only ones who had been circled were the Young Master of the Dingbei Marquis, the second son of the Censor, Lu Douzhi, and the son of the Left Prime Minister.

These had been introduced these few days by the matchmakers who came to the residence. Although there was a need for the men and women to keep a distance, it was still appropriate for them to meet at the Lantern Festival.

To put it simply, Bai Xianyu was on a blind date.

However, after walking around, no one could satisfy her requirements. She was also a little tired. “Green Pearl.”

Bai Xianyu stopped.

Green Pearl also stopped and said, “What’s wrong, Miss?”

“Do you think if I create a rumor that I’m destined to bring death upon my husband, then, 1 don’t have to get married?”

Green Pearl turned pale with fright. “Miss, you can’t joke around like this.”

Bai Xianyu pursed her lips. She really had plans to do that. It was just that a rumor of her being destined to bring death upon her husband was not easy to verify. However,… having such a rumor would definitely be useful.

With this excuse, it would be difficult for Emperor Wu Xuan to arrange a marriage for her.

If this Young Master of Dingbei Marquis was not suitable, then she would have to make preparations.

As Bai Xianyu pondered, she came to the pavilion by the river. There was already a modest gentleman standing there. In a moon-white robe, he was extraordinarily handsome.

The matchmaker was the aunt of Qi Ci, the son of the Dingbei Marquis. She was now the Matriarch of the Wang family in the capital.

At this moment, she was also there. When she saw Bai Xianyu, Madam Wang smiled. “Look at how beautiful you are. I saw you in the crowd at a glance. You are indeed worthy of your reputation as the number one beauty in the capital.”

Bai Xianyu smiled faintly. “Madam, you flatter me.”

Madam Wang’s eyes were filled with satisfaction as she looked at Qi Ci. “This is my nephew, Qi Ci.”

Bai Xianyu looked up and bowed. “Hello, Young Marquis.”

The moment Qi Ci saw Bai Xianyu, he could not take his eyes off her. When he saw her looking over, he actually forgot to speak.

Madam Wang teased, “My nephew has always been smart. This is the first time he’s so dumb.”

Bai Xianyu raised her eyebrows slightly.

Qi Ci reacted and subconsciously tightened his grip on the flowers in his hands. “Hello, Sister Xianyu.”

Bai Xianyu was stunned for a moment before nodding.

Green Pearl felt that the atmosphere at this moment was too awkward. Madam Wang stood between the two of them and smiled from ear to ear. “Alright, you’ve already met him.. Are you satisfied?”
