The Changxin Palace was magnificent and elegant in every way. Li Momo followed Xiao Guanzi in fear, sweat forming on her young face. She had only learned the rules for half a month and was now on duty in a hurry. She was so nervous that she almost forgot where to put her hands and feet.

She was going to meet the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince's first wife. The palace maids said that she was a cool but kind lady, and that she was the best place for the palace maids to go.

Strange, very strange, why did Li Xiaoshu say that she knew such a noble person?

The heavy and luxurious bead curtain was opened, making a slight tinkling sound.

The feared chief eunuch straightened his robes, bent his knees, knelt humbly, and said in a pinched voice, "Your servant greets the Crown Princess. Greetings, Crown Princess!"

Li Momo didn't dare to look up, she knelt down and said loudly, "Your servant greets the Crown Princess, please give your greetings!"

He Yue sat in front of the desk and looked at Xiao Guanzi curiously. There was a bit of doubt on her beautiful face. The brush in her hand was placed on the pen holder. She was practicing calligraphy when she had nothing to do. "Stand up. Didn't the previous palace maid come here? Why do you bring another one in person?"

"Or are you here to look for His Highness? His Highness has just gone to the study."

She slightly turned sideways and dipped her hands into the basin of water held by Xiao Taozi, then took the handkerchief handed to her by Moli and wiped them gently.

Moer was daydreaming. She was thinking about when it would be night. At night, if the Crown Prince had something to do, he could be alone with He Yue in a room. He wouldn't have to call her the Crown Princess, and he could still be lazy and eat her cakes.

After Xiao Guanzi stood up, he adjusted his hat and said, "I came here specially to give this maid to the Crown Princess."

He frowned as if hesitating a little, "Hey, she's a little special."

Moer took the handkerchief respectfully. He Yue finally looked at the palace maid who was still kneeling on the ground and said in a light tone, "Special? Look up and let me see."

Anyone who can let Xiao Guanzi come here alone is special.

Li Momo was stunned when she heard the Crown Princess' voice. She! The Crown Princess is Boss He!

Is Boss He the Crown Princess? Boss He disappeared in Lijia Village long before the Chinese New Year, and even his yard was burned down. A widely circulated rumor is that Boss He's relative offended someone and was visited by his enemies.

Xiao Guanzi turned around and saw Li Momo still standing there in a daze, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you raise your head quickly to let the Crown Princess see!"

"Yes!" Li Momo slowly raised her head as if she had just woken up from a dream.

When she saw the Crown Princess's beautiful face, she collapsed to the ground in shock.

It really is Boss He! No wonder Li Xiaoshu said that she definitely knew the Crown Princess, and no wonder Eunuch Guan asked her if she knew a rouge shop owner!

But if you look closely, you will find that apart from the face, the elegant and dignified Crown Princess and Boss He have almost nothing in common.

Boss He was used to wearing plain dresses and usually wore a hairpin on her head, while the Crown Princess wore an orchid-pleated palace skirt and an elegant and gorgeous pearl hairpin with tassels hanging down from her bun. There was none of Boss He's brightness in her eyes, but only coldness and indifference.

Boss He is approachable, while the Crown Princess is intimidating.

When He Yue saw that it was Li Momo kneeling on the ground, she suddenly froze, frowned, raised her arm and with the help of Moer, she stood up and walked to Li Momo.

"What's going on?!" He Yue's voice was cold.

How could such a good girl end up entering the palace and becoming a maid?

Li Momo was still in shock and unable to speak for a moment. She knelt on the ground like a quail. She had always been very timid.

Xiao Guanzi immediately knelt down, looking helpless, "Alas, Crown Princess, you don't know, this maid was offered by the Bai Mansion, she is so young and knows you, Crown Princess, I wonder what she can do as a maid, she has not been to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I want to give her some silver to let her leave the palace."

His tone turned sad. "But who would have thought that she had already been made a slave. She didn't go to the Imperial Household Department, but the documents had been passed through the Imperial Household Department. There was no room for maneuver. So I brought her here. She might even be bullied if she served others."

He Yue only felt a burst of anger. Do Bai Huixian and Li Xiaoshu think that Li Momo will be happy if they offer her to her?

"A guy who has lost his sense of propriety!" He Yue said in an unexpected tone, the fingers on Mo'er's arm trembled with anger, and the pearl and jade tassels on her temples shook slightly.

Li Momo only felt more unfamiliar and shrank closer to the side.

Xiao Taozi stroked He Yue's back and glanced at Li Momo on the ground, "They are not worthy of the Crown Princess' anger."

Xiao Guanzi nodded in agreement, "Please calm down, Crown Princess. I have already sent someone to investigate. After a few hours, we should be able to find out the whole story."

If the Bai family doesn't give a proper explanation to calm the Crown Princess, she will be in trouble. If you want to flatter someone, you have to find the right way. It's okay to be blamed for nothing.

Lord Bai is a smart man and would not lie. This might be Madam Bai's idea.

He Yue was already feeling better, but now she was feeling restless and weak. She sat back on the beauty couch by the window in silence.

Oh, Moer sighed inwardly, it was rare for He Yue to get angry. She was usually as good-tempered as a bodhisattva. The last time she got angry was about Xiao Lizi, and that person even lost his life.

There was something good to watch this time.

He gave He Yue a flattering smile and served her tea, "Don't be angry, Crown Princess."
