Chapter 558: Striving to Become a Concubine
Bai Hanyi received the news first, and he quickly called Mrs. Bai to the study to discuss countermeasures.
"What on earth is going on? Why didn't the emperor even give Liang Zhiyun a title when he returned to the palace?"
"Now he is lukewarm towards her and doesn't seem to care much about her."
Bai Hanyi frowned, unable to figure out what Xiao Mo was thinking.
"Master, you still underestimate Empress Ye. She has extraordinary means. Otherwise, Empress Ye would not be able to attend the court when the emperor is not in the palace."
"Madam, do you mean that Queen Ye is interfering?"
"It's most likely true. Liang Zhiyun was granted residence in Tingyu Pavilion when she entered the palace. Master should also know the specifications of Tingyu Pavilion. In the past, it was where the eldest princess lived before she got married."
"The emperor placed Liang Zhiyun in Tingyuxuan, which clearly showed that he valued her very much. But later he treated her coldly. There can only be one explanation. What did Empress Ye say to the emperor?"
Bai Hanyi felt that what Mrs. Bai said made some sense.
Otherwise, why would Xiao Mo suddenly become so cold towards Liang Zhiyun?
"With Empress Ye here, I'm afraid our Wanqing won't be able to enter the palace."
Mrs. Bai felt a sense of suffocation as she listened to Bai Hanyi's analysis.
Looking back at all the dynasties, there has never been a queen like Ye Jintang. She dominated Xiaomo and ruined the careers of many officials.
Such a jealous and unvirtuous woman is not worthy of being a queen.
"In that case, why don't we get rid of Queen Ye."
"How is this possible? I heard that the Yulin Guards around Queen Ye are all very good at martial arts, and she knows medicine. It is impossible for them to poison her to death."
Bai Hanyi's words were not meant to boost others' morale or destroy his own prestige, but Ye Jintang was so powerful that it was almost impossible to assassinate her.
"If we can't start with Queen Ye, then we will start with the Emperor. I will try every means to get my Wanqing into the palace."
Mrs. Bai said this while gritting her teeth. The Bai family was not a prosperous family to begin with. She only gave birth to a son and she had no idea how many people in the family had stabbed her in the back.
After Bai Hanyi was dismissed from office by Ye Jintang, many people in the clan made sarcastic remarks about him.
Some people said that the son she gave birth to was a loser. If Bai Hanyi had more sons, maybe one of them would be capable, and some people would not have ignored the Bai family as soon as Bai Hanyi was dismissed from office.
Mrs. Bai had heard too many sarcastic remarks like this, and she felt very angry. Since she couldn't count on her son, she could only count on her daughter.
Entering the palace is the best way out for a woman. As long as Bai Wanqing can be favored, the Bai family will be able to prosper in the capital in the future.
After thinking it over again and again, Mrs. Bai decided to use the tricks she usually used in the back house to make Xiao Mo marry Bai Wanqing as his concubine.
After Zhou Wuwei led the Black Armor Army to attack Beidi and won, he did not return to the capital immediately. Instead, he returned with a large amount of tribute at the end of the year.
In the battle against Northern Di, Zhou Wuwei was a great hero. When he returned to the capital, Xiao Mo naturally wanted to reward him.
On that day, Xiao Mo held a banquet in the palace to welcome Zhou Wuwei.
When Ye Jintang returned to the capital from Ningchuan Prefecture, Zhou Wuwei was transferred to the border by Xiao Mo. Over the years, the two only communicated through letters and never met again.
Seeing it today, Ye Jintang imagined that Zhou Wuwei would change, but he never thought the change would be so big.
In her impression, Zhou Wuwei was still a child, but the man in front of her was not shorter than Xiao Mo. Perhaps because of years of marching and fighting, his originally fair skin was dyed into wheat color, and his eyes, which were once as bright as stars, became more resolute.
A few years of life on the border completely transformed a young boy into a man.
Seeing such a big change in Zhou Wuwei, Ye Jintang was very pleased.
"Your subordinate greets Her Majesty the Queen."
When Zhou Wuwei saw Ye Jintang enter the inner hall, he quickly stood up and stepped forward to salute.
The young generals following behind him also stood up one after another. The other court officials present did not expect that Zhou Wuwei, who was already a general, would still call himself a subordinate in front of Ye Jintang.
The word "subordinate" is not simple. It means that in extraordinary times, if Ye Jintang does not have the tiger talisman, she can also ask Zhou Wuwei to mobilize troops for her.
Any emperor would be unhappy if a queen had such a powerful supporter.
The court officials looked at Xiao Mo cautiously, and sure enough, Xiao Mo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He reached out and held Ye Jintang's hand and continued walking towards the inner hall.
"General Zhou, please get up. Today we are here to welcome you. There is no need to be so polite."
Ye Jintang looked at Zhou Wuwei with a smile, feeling the joy of having a son growing up in the family.
"Thank you, Queen."
Zhou Wuwei stood up, his eyes fixed on Ye Jintang.
"I have a treasure to present to you, Your Majesty."
As Zhou Wuwei spoke, he waved his hand and several soldiers carried in two large wooden boxes.
"I know that Your Majesty likes medicinal herbs the most. When I was attacking Beidi, I met a very good herbalist. He gave me a lot of good herbs. Please take a look, Your Majesty."
Zhou Wuwei said it lightly, but Ye Jintang knew in his heart that the medicinal herbs he obtained were probably not simple, and he didn't know how much he paid for them.
"Okay, then let me see what kind of medicinal herbs are abundant in Beidi."
When the wooden box was opened, the first thing that came into view was a snow lotus that was much larger than a human face.
The dried snow lotus is still extremely eye-catching, and the palm-sized petals are as crystal clear as jade. Those who don’t know would think it is an artificially carved snow lotus.
Ye Jintang reached out and picked up the snow lotus to examine it carefully.
"This snow lotus must have grown on an extremely cold snowy mountain. It is worth a fortune to use as medicine. Thank you, Wuwei, for bringing me such a precious medicinal material."
"At that time, my subordinate not only got a snow lotus, but also a packet of seeds."
Zhou Wuwei took out a white jade box from the box, inside which were black seeds that looked like melon seeds.
If the snow lotus brought Ye Jintang a small surprise, then these seeds were indeed a bit shocking.
The dried snow lotus can only be used as medicine, and it is gone after use.
But snow lotus seeds are different. They can continuously provide Ye Jintang with countless snow lotus flowers with excellent medicinal effects.
The medicinal value of the snow lotus grown in space is definitely much better than that of the snow lotus grown on the snow mountain.
Ye Jintang couldn't even imagine how many good medicines she could make using snow lotus in the future.
In addition to snow lotus, there are many kinds of medicinal herbs from extremely cold places in the wooden box.
Any one of them is a priceless treasure in the capital.
Zhou Wuwei directly gave Ye Jintang two boxes, many of which contained medicinal seeds, which Ye Jintang could place in the space and multiply indefinitely.
This surprise was so great that Ye Jintang almost laughed out loud in front of the court officials while hugging the medicinal herbs.
She suppressed her excitement and sat in the main seat with Xiao Mo.
