Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

Imperial Concubine Yi: "No matter how cautious he was, he still fell for it. You see, the person I loved the most didn't stay, so yours won't stay either. In the end, he sent the Seventh Prince out of the palace and built a mansion for him, with layers of protection and precautions."

Concubine Yi: "Why should I raise a prince? This is just his way of comforting me. He knows who killed my child, but he is indifferent. Only when he experiences the pain of losing a child can he empathize with me."

Imperial Concubine Yi: "If one doesn't work, then two will do. If two doesn't work, then three will do. He suspected me, but couldn't find any evidence. Even if he wanted to frame me, he couldn't succeed. So, he gave the eldest prince to me to raise. If something goes wrong, I can naturally hold him accountable. He was paving the way for the seventh prince from the beginning."

Bai Lingxi was stunned. She knew that Concubine Yi was crazy, but she didn't know she was so crazy.

Bai Lingxi: "Aunt, aren't you afraid of being heard by outsiders?"

Concubine Yi: "What is there to be afraid of? I just want to save the Bai family now. Apart from this, what is the point of me living?"

Bai Lingxi saw that she had calmed down and said: "Aunt, are you still attached to the emperor?"

Imperial Concubine Yi: "I have given up thinking about it for a long time."

Bai Lingxi wanted to comfort Concubine Yi: "Aunt, you."

Imperial Concubine Yi: "Don't worry, the first time I saw you, I knew there was nothing I needed to do. I feel at ease now."

Bai Lingxi shook her head gently: "No, aunt, you still love the emperor, you just turned love into hate."

Bai Lingxi: "Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to get rid of the other princes."

Bai Lingxi: "Your hands are covered in blood, you are blinded by hatred, you use the Bai family as a tool for revenge, but you still refuse to stop. What else do you want to do?"

Concubine Yi didn't say anything. Yes, how could she be willing to do that?

Time seemed to have been accelerated, and now was the day of the palace selection.

Zhao Xueqing passed the assessment successfully. Together with her were her elder sister Zhao Xueqi, the legitimate daughter of Yongning Marquis, the legitimate daughter of General Sun, and the legitimate daughter of General Huang.

These were the ones she could name, and she knew the rest but couldn't tell their names.

There were a total of fifty people crowded in this side hall of Changle Palace, but it was completely silent, so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard clearly.

The palace selection started in order of family background from low to high. Bai Lingxi and her friends were seated at the back, but those waiting were all in high spirits.

Round after round of beauties either kept their names or dropped them, and finally, it was their turn.

They lined up in order and entered the hall, singing and reading loudly at the order of the eunuch.

Father-in-law: "Prime Minister Zhao Zikai's daughter Zhao Xueqi, 17 years old."

Zhao Xueqi was wearing a palace dress that looked like a white magnolia flower, and she had three pairs of the latest jade hairpins in her hair. They were made of Lantian jade, and the green seemed to be dripping, making it look even more lustrous and smooth. She was pure and elegant among the other beauties.

Zhao Xueqi stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, I, your humble servant, pay my respects to the Emperor and Empress. May the Emperor and Empress be blessed with good health."

The empress was Concubine Xian, who entered the palace with Concubine Yi. She had never given birth and was never favored.

But the queen had an outstanding family background. She was the legitimate daughter of the first-class duke Cheng'en. When she first entered the palace, she was the head of a palace. When she had enough qualifications, she was canonized as the queen.

Emperor: "Have you ever read any books?"

Zhao Xueqi: "Your Majesty, I have read the Four Books and Five Classics, and I have learned the Women's Training."

The queen smiled kindly and nodded approvingly, "She is a talented woman."

The Emperor: "The daughter raised by the Prime Minister is naturally outstanding in literary talent and extraordinary in bearing. Keep her as a sign."

Eunuch: "Zhao Xueqi, daughter of Prime Minister Zhao Zikai, is given a name tag and a sachet."

Zhao Xueqi was neither arrogant nor impatient, and thanked the emperor calmly: "Your Majesty, I thank the queen for her grace."
