Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 198 Entering the Palace to Meet Concubine Su

The next morning, before daybreak, Su Yue got up early. Ding Xiang stood by her side, combing her hair carefully. Su Yue looked at the various exquisite headdresses on the table and couldn't help but feel a headache. Although these headdresses were gorgeous, they were too heavy for her to bear.

So, she whispered to Dingxiang, "That's enough. There's no need to wear so many headdresses. They're too heavy."

After hearing this, Ding Xiang looked embarrassed and replied hesitantly: "Princess, this is not a good idea. Wouldn't it seem disrespectful?"

Su Yue smiled slightly and comforted: "Just wear one or two simple ones, don't make it look like a Christmas tree."

Ding Xiang asked in confusion: "What is a Christmas tree?

Su Yue explained patiently: "It's the kind of tree that is hung with all kinds of items."

Ding Xiang nodded in sudden realization. But she still said with some concern: "But if I dress too plainly, won't it seem inappropriate?"

Su Yue patted Ding Xiang's hand gently and said with a smile: "It's okay, we are not going to participate in a beauty pageant, as long as we are not rude."

Under Su Yue's insistence, Ding Xiang had to comb her hair into a simple bun, insert a jade hairpin and wear a hairpin as decoration. Then, Su Yue changed into a simple and elegant dress. Although there was not too much gorgeous embellishment, it still revealed a fresh and elegant temperament. After everything was ready, Su Yue took Ding Xiang to leave the Marquis' Mansion and boarded the carriage to the palace. When they arrived at the palace gate, the maids of Yaohua Palace had been waiting for a long time and welcomed Su Yue to Yaohua Palace to meet Concubine Su. They walked through the corridor of the palace and passed by many maids and eunuchs along the way. When everyone saw Su Yue's simple and plain dress, they showed surprise, but soon returned to a respectful and obedient appearance. However, Su Yue did not take these looks and discussions to heart. She just wanted to spend the day's activities in the most real and natural manner.

Su Yue has been thinking about why Concubine Su would look for her. Although they both have the surname Su, this is not enough to be a reason. After all, when the Su family got into trouble, Su Huai became a vested interest, which made the relationship between them delicate, and it can even be said to be hostile rather than friendly. Although the Su family was once Su Yue's great-grandfather's family, her great-grandfather's direct line no longer exists. The last time Su Yue went to the Huguohou Mansion, she met Su Huai. Judging from his attitude, the people in the Huguohou Mansion seemed reluctant to interact with her. So, what was the reason for this Concubine Su? Su Yue really couldn't figure it out. Moreover, there should be no intersection between her and Princess Mingzhao. When Concubine Su entered the palace, Princess Mingzhao had already left Da'an. Therefore, if the emperor wanted to find her, it should be summoned by the queen. Su Yue thought hard along the way, but she couldn't find the answer. Unknowingly, she came to the gate of Yaohua Palace.

Su Yue had met Concubine Su several times before. Every time she saw her, she felt that she was full of lazy and charming temperament, which was unforgettable. However, meeting her again today surprised Su Yue a little. She saw Concubine Su wearing a scarlet dress. This bright color was completely different from her previous style and seemed particularly flamboyant.

Su Yue wondered in her heart, why did this Concubine Su change so much? Maybe it was because something important happened recently, or maybe she wanted to try a new image. In any case, Su Yue decided to stay alert and be careful about what might happen next.

Su Yue stepped forward and saluted to Concubine Su, saying, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine. May Your Majesty live a thousand years." Her voice was clear and respectful, showing her respect and awe for Concubine Su.

Concubine Su smiled and waved her hand, saying, "No need to be polite, please take a seat." Her tone was gentle, revealing a hint of intimacy.

Su Yue thanked him gratefully and sat down slowly, waiting for Concubine Su's next words. At this moment, she was nervous and curious, wondering why Concubine Su summoned her. "I called you here today, but there is nothing important, I just want to see you. I like you very much." Concubine Su opened her red lips slightly, with a hint of smile in her eyes.

Su Yue's heart was full of doubts, but she still responded obediently: "Thank you for your concern, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine." She wondered secretly in her heart, wondering what the Imperial Concubine meant.

Imperial Concubine Su looked at Su Yue carefully, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, and said, "What a lovely child! No wonder His Majesty and the Queen like you so much. It's a pity that you are already married." Su Yue was shocked when she heard this, and quickly lowered her head and said softly, "I am terrified..."

Seeing Su Yue's nervous look, Concubine Su couldn't help but chuckle and teased, "Look how scared you are. Am I that scary?" Su Yue quickly shook her head and explained, "No, Concubine, you are very beautiful."

Concubine Su smiled and said, "How boring. You were much cuter when you were arguing with others that day." Su Yue was speechless after hearing this, and thought to herself, does this concubine like watching others quarrel?

Then, Concubine Su said, "I am also your little cousin. You can call me cousin mother from now on." Su Yue was secretly surprised and did not dare to agree easily. After all, the other party was the imperial concubine. She secretly speculated, did the imperial concubine summon her to the palace just to recognize her as a relative? Su Yue hesitated for a moment, but still called softly, "cousin mother."

Concubine Su nodded with satisfaction, and took Su Yue to chat about family matters, asking about her life outside the palace.

Su Yue answered carefully, but she was more and more confused. Just as she was thinking, Concubine Su changed the subject: "By the way, do you know that there will be a palace banquet in a few days? You have to be careful of Beiyan's people at the banquet.

Concubine Su smiled and said, "This palace banquet will not be peaceful, and the emperor will definitely give Beiyan an explanation. Also, Princess Qingwu may also grant her marriage on that day, so you have to be careful."

Su Yue raised her head in astonishment, "What does this... have to do with me?"

Concubine Su waved her hand nonchalantly, "You are Princess Mingyue, the daughter of Princess Mingzhao, so you'd better be careful about these things."

Su Yue knew that Concubine Su had good intentions, so she could only bow and thank her: "Thank you, cousin aunt."

Concubine Su stood up slowly, with a kind smile on her face, patted Su Yue's shoulder gently, and said softly: "That's good, if something happens, you can come to me for help. When you have nothing to do in the future, you can also come to the palace often to talk to me and chat."

Su Yue carefully sat on the chair in Yaohua Palace and chatted with Concubine Su for a while, but she still couldn't understand Concubine Su's true intention. She couldn't help but secretly wonder if someone was trying to harm her? However, what was Concubine Su's purpose? Was it just because of their cousin relationship that she gave her a warning in advance?

After Su Guifei and Su Yue continued to chat for a while, Su Yue finally got up and went back to the palace. Su Yue respectfully bowed to Su Guifei and said goodbye, then turned and left. She secretly vowed in her heart that she would find out Su Guifei's true intentions no matter what. This mystery troubled her and made her unable to let it go. Only by uncovering this fog could she find the answer.
