As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

These days, the prince promoted a poor boy named Bai Huixian to the Ministry of Revenue as the Left Vice Minister. It can be said that he has made it big in one day.

Bai Huixian rose from a seventh-rank magistrate of Min County to a third-rank left vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His wife was no ordinary person either. As soon as she and her husband went to Yuncheng to take up their posts, she sent a letter wanting to visit the Crown Princess He in the Biyuan of the Eastern Palace.

Originally, the wives of the court officials were watching the show. The Crown Princess He was a lonely and cold person. They had sent visiting cards to her, but were all rejected.

But who would have thought that the Crown Princess would only accept Madam Bai's visiting card and open the door of the Biyuan. I heard clearly that the Crown Princess even exempted herself from the greetings from the concubines of the Eastern Palace today.

He really can't be offended. Bai Huixian is the prince's favorite, and even Madam Bai has a close relationship with the crown princess!

Li Xiaoshu's carriage arrived at the palace gate, and she got off the carriage with the help of a maid. She was wearing the imperial robes today, and everything was dressed according to the etiquette, without any mistakes.

Her pretty face was neatly made up, which made her look less lively than she had in Lijia Village.

Guards in armor stood guard at the solemn and magnificent palace gate. One of them asked coldly, "Do you have a palace badge?"

Li Xiaoshu held the handkerchief and shook her head, "I handed the invitation to the Crown Princess."

"Then wait." The guards spoke more respectfully when they heard the Crown Princess, but they didn't let her go in the end.

After a while, a palace maid in yellow palace maid's uniform came out of the palace. She was a woman of extraordinary bearing, and the silver hairpin on her bun was not one of the ordinary hairpins worn by palace maids.

The maid spoke a few words to the guard, and the guard nodded and smiled, "Aunt Tao, I'll let you go right away."

After that, she opened the side door. Xiao Taozi slowly walked to Li Xiaoshu's front and bent her knees slightly. "Madam Bai and this servant, please go. Your maid is waiting outside the palace. Someone will take her to rest."

That maid was not yet qualified to enter the palace, so Li Xiaoshu naturally nodded in agreement.

Li Xiaoshu followed Xiao Taozi into the palace through the side door and then walked towards the palace path on the east side.

The red walls and yellow tiles of the imperial palace displayed the majesty and respect of the royal family everywhere. Some of the palace servants who came and went would stop and greet Xiao Taozi when they saw her, "Hello, Aunt Tao."

Li Xiaoshu understood that Aunt Tao was a respectable palace maid. When no one was around, she gave Xiao Taozi a purse full of silver.

"Aunt Tao, please keep it."

Xiao Taozi usually received a lot, so she accepted it with a smile this time. She was in a good mood and gave her some advice, "The Crown Princess is a little tired today, so don't bother her too much just because you are old friends."

Then Xiao Taozi looked at Li Xiaoshu with a curious look, "The Crown Princess has never met women outside her family. You are the first one. This shows that this old friend has some weight in the Crown Princess' heart."

When the visiting card was brought into the Biyuan Courtyard in the morning, Xiao Taozi thought that the Crown Princess would refuse it as usual, but the Crown Princess remained silent and asked, "This Madam Bai is from the Li family of Min County."

Madam Lu replied, "To the Crown Princess, yes."

She heard the Crown Princess sigh, "See you, it's an old friend I haven't seen for a long time."

Li Xiaoshu smiled shyly, but there was something obscure in his eyes. "The Crown Princess misses the old times. I lived with the Crown Princess for several years."

Xiao Taozi just admired Li Xiaoshu for his great fortune, and then continued to lead the way.

After arriving at the territory of the East Palace, they walked for a long time before arriving at a magnificent palace with the words "Biyuan" hung in front of it.

After entering the Bi Courtyard, the view suddenly opened up. There were several magnificent courtyards inside. The East Hall and the West Hall were comparable to the main halls elsewhere, but the entire Bi Courtyard was only home to a crown princess.

Xiao Taozi brought Li Xiaoshu to the main hall. Nanny Lu just came out. She scanned Li Xiaoshu with her sharp eyes, almost making her break out in a cold sweat. "Hello, Madam Bai. The Crown Princess is inside."

"Hello, Madam." Li Xiaoshu, a third-rank lady, greeted a madam. However, the madams who served personally in the palace were always different. Some of them were very respectable.

Xiao Taozi opened the thick curtain at the door and took Li Xiaoshu to the warm room. She opened the beaded curtain again and knelt down to greet him after entering. "Crown Princess, I've brought him here."

Li Xiaoshu also knelt down and bowed politely, saying humbly, "Your humble servant pays respect to the Crown Princess."

He Yue sat on the couch with a soft pillow behind her waist. She glanced at Li Xiaoshu who was kneeling on the ground, with unspeakable emotion in her heart. She said in a calm voice, "Get up, Madam Bai."

Xiao Lizi brought an embroidery cushion, and Li Xiaoshu sat on it after she stood up. Only now did she dare to look up at He Yue.

After seeing this, her breathing stopped for a moment and the handkerchief in her hand was clenched tightly. She had always known that He Yue had a beauty that no one else could match, but seeing her again today, she looked more gorgeous and unapproachable than before.

Her thick black hair was combed into a stunning bun with an exquisite ruby ​​hairpin pinned in between, with tassels hanging down, and her layers of gorgeous clothes were covered with eight-treasure necklaces.

But that face was truly stunning, as beautiful as a newly blooming peony, making all other flowers pale in comparison.

He Yue lazily played with the jade fan in her hand, which was made of the finest jade carvings. Although the fan would not be used because of the cold weather, this kind of jade fan was meant to be enjoyed, and there was no way it could be used to fan one's body.

She glanced at Li Xiaoshu lightly and said, "Things have changed and people have changed. I don't know how to start this conversation."

Li Xiaoshu smiled awkwardly, folded her hands on her knees, and smiled, "This time, I came here just to see you. In this Yuncheng, I only recognize you, the Crown Princess."

Indeed, things have changed and people have changed. The Boss He, who used to be tough-mouthed but kind-hearted, has now become the Crown Princess who looks indifferent to Zun Hua.

He Yue smiled and pointed at Li Xiaoshu with her jade fan, "You are not honest."

She knew Li Xiaoshu and knew that he must have come back to ask for something.

"I have come here for a reason." Li Xiaoshu smiled softly, as if shyly saying, "My wife and I are going to have a grand wedding again."

"I thought that you, Crown Princess, and I are the only old acquaintances in Yuncheng, so I came here to ask for a favor."

She put herself in the dust, humble and submissive, "I don't ask you to come in person to celebrate my wedding, I would be happy if you send a palace maid to come and congratulate me."

He Yuewei stretched out her hand and used the jade fan to lift up Li Xiaoshu's drooping face. She said in a slow and steady voice, "You want to use your wedding as a raft for your husband."

He Yue had been in the East Palace for so many days and had learned a lot about court affairs. Bai Huixian, a man from a poor family, must be walking on thin ice in Yuncheng, which was full of aristocratic families. If she personally sent her congratulations on the wedding, it would be a signal and a support, and others would not dare to look down on Bai Huixian anymore.

Li Xiaoshu's eyelashes trembled as he felt the coldness of the jade fan. He swallowed his saliva involuntarily and became nervous. He Yue herself did not notice anything, but her pressure became heavier day by day. Li Xiaoshu couldn't help feeling anxious.

"I and my husband are one, there is no such thing as a raft." Li Xiaoshu answered tremblingly.

He Yue snorted and laughed, lowered her eyebrows, and took back the jade fan. She asked nonchalantly, "Where is Bai Huixian's original wife?"
