In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

You have to know that the emperor and the empress dowager are two different concepts. The emperor is the previous emperor, and his prestige is not even comparable to that of the current emperor.

The queen's face changed drastically. She immediately knelt on the ground, trembling in front of the emperor.

When the emperor saw the queen like this, he sighed, closed his eyes, waved at the queen and said, "Don't worry, get up."

"...Go, go to the side and let Bai Lu feel your pulse and check your body."

The queen bowed so much that tears almost came out of her eyes.

She was trembling, even shaking a little, and sat down next to Bai Lu.

Bai Lu smiled softly at the queen and said, "Aunt, you came just in time. We will have hot pot together later."

"Do you like New Orleans chicken? If you do, I'll marinate the chicken for you later. Cut it into thin slices and put it in the pot. Then dip it in some fragrant sesame sauce. It's especially delicious."

The queen felt a little calmer after listening to Bai Lu's comfort.

Then the emperor stood up and said to Bai Yansong, who looked very gloomy, "Bai Yansong, what are you doing here now?"

Bai Yansong glanced at the retired emperor and the empress dowager and felt a little scared, but when he thought about what he was going to say later, he straightened his back and spoke directly to the retired emperor and the empress dowager.

"Your Highness, I am not here to see Bai Lu. I am here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to discuss reinstatement."

He turned his head to look at the prince who was already sitting next to him, and said with some pride: "Your Highness! That day! His Majesty asked you to go to the study to discuss some important matters. Why is it that our Bai family has contributed money, manpower, and effort, but I have not been reinstated?"

Bai Yansong pointed at himself, very angry.

When the prince heard this, his face changed.

You must know that the Turkic attack cannot be told to outsiders at this moment.

Bai Yansong shouted in front of everyone that it was the Bai family who provided money, manpower and effort. What would happen if this matter got out?

The prince stepped forward and was about to cover Bai Yansong's mouth when he saw a maid beside Bai Lu step forward, quickly cover Bai Yansong's mouth and drag him out.

The Queen Mother curled her lips, speechless, and said to the Crown Prince: "Crown Prince, Queen, you two are too kind."

"As for Bai Yansong, if he were a good person, we would be kind to him, but he is getting ahead of himself and doesn't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is. It's better to drag him out and throw him out."

"How can you say such nonsense? What about donating money, manpower and effort..."

As the Queen Mother spoke, she deliberately said loudly: "In the previous battle with King Cheng, the three sons of the Bai family contributed manpower, money, and effort. Now Bai Yansong has the nerve to put the blame on himself. Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect him to be so shameless!"

The palace maids and eunuchs below heard it very clearly.

Then the queen said, "That's right. I know what mother meant. It's my brother's fault. I will supervise him properly in the future."

"I didn't manage that fake princess well before. It was my fault. If my brother doesn't manage her well now, I will not live."

The Queen Mother listened to this and nodded with satisfaction. A flower-like smile appeared on her slightly weathered face: "It's good that you are sensible."

The two of them chatted with each other and put the matter aside for the time being.

Bai Lu, however, had a sullen look on her face and stood there coldly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Sitting next to Bai Lu was Zhou Langya. It was not known whether Zhou Langya had deliberately exchanged seats with someone else, but in any case, Zhou Langya had sat next to Bai Lu early on.

Bai Lu didn't think much about it, because she and Zhou Langya were good friends and even better partners.

Zhou Langya stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Bai Lu, and whispered to Bai Lu: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Are you worried about your father?"

Bai Lu shook her head and smiled, "He is not my father. You can just call him Bai Yansong."

"Haha, I'm so sorry, I said the wrong thing." Zhou Langya was a little embarrassed, so he quickly said to Bai Lu: "If you don't like him, I can go and give him a lesson later."

"Now... Bai Yansong is no longer an official, and he does not hold any official position in the court. It is more convenient to criticize him."

Bai Lu nodded and said calmly, "I know. But he's yelling so loudly, it would be bad if he reveals something."

"Your Majesty has to give him a beating himself personally." Bai Yansong is indeed a fool.

Zhou Langya nodded and his expression changed.

Bai Yansong suddenly jumped out and said something like this. This kind of person looks... not very happy.

After the meal, Bai Lu thought about it and followed the prince to see the emperor again, and brought Bai Yansong with her.

Bai Yansong's mouth was covered, and the empress dowager put him in a side hall and kept him tied up.

Two hours later, he was finally released.

Bai Yansong was very angry. How could they tie him up? After all, he was the emperor's uncle.

Seeing Bai Lu and the prince coming over, he was taken to the emperor again...all of a sudden, he had something to say again.

Bai Yansong straightened his back and scolded the prince and Bai Lu in front of the emperor: "You two little bastards actually tied me up, do you know who I am?!"

"I'm your father, Bai Lu."

"And Your Highness, I am your uncle!"

The prince and Bai Lu listened to his words, their mouths twitching.

Afterwards, the prince said directly to Bai Yansong: "Uncle, I know you are my uncle. But you are going too far."

"How can you say something like... about paying money and doing labor in front of so many palace maids and eunuchs? This kind of thing should be discussed in private. We are keeping it secret now!"

"What if someone hears this and becomes a spy and reports it to the Turks? Then what if the Turks attack in advance?!"

When Bai Yansong heard this, he felt a little guilty.

He twitched his lips and said with a stiff face: "This... How could I think of so much? Why are you becoming more and more cautious now?"

Prince: “…” It seems that he has become more and more stupid since his uncle recognized Bai Zhiyi.

The prince was wondering, but before he could say anything, the emperor came forward and slapped Bai Yansong in the face!

The emperor frowned and said angrily: "I gave the order! I asked your Bai family to contribute money and manpower... That's right, so I promoted your three sons and attributed the merits to them, so what?!"
