After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"Are you Mr. Bai, the boss of Yunnifang?"

There was a hint of smile in the emperor's eyes, and it was not difficult to hear the teasing in his tone.

Bai Yaoyao and the prince on the side looked at each other, and there was a hint of calculation in the eyes of both of them.

Last night, a light bulb suddenly lit up in her head and she came up with a brilliant plan.

If Bai Youyou is in the hands of the emperor, would the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion dare to openly stand on the side of the third prince?

Bai Youyou was stared at with strange eyes by the emperor, and she felt uncomfortable as if her whole body had grown hair.

She lowered her head, with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. It's just a small business, not worthy of being accepted in a high-class place."

The emperor tapped the table with his fingers, and the corners of his mouth curved a little wider. "Concubine Li is right. To be able to make such a living at such a young age, you must be capable."

Bai Youyou had no idea what the emperor was up to, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

The queen looked at the emperor's expression and clenched her hands suddenly.

Having slept in the same bed for decades, she knew what the emperor was trying to do just from a look or a gesture from the man beside her.

He is——

The queen forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Let's start the banquet soon."

The emperor glanced at her sideways and that glance made the queen feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.

She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and tried her best to maintain a decent smile on her face.

The emperor stared at the queen with a half-smile, "The queen has always understood my thoughts best."

"emperor......"

Without the support of the General's Mansion, the Queen now dared not anger the Emperor, for fear that a single careless mistake would bring disaster to her son.

The emperor clearly heard a threat in his tone, so the queen could only call out to him in a gentle voice, then lowered her head in a gentle manner.

The third prince noticed something was wrong between the two and frowned.

What's something he doesn't know?

While he was thinking, the emperor ordered a banquet.

The banquet started with singing and dancing, but the atmosphere was oppressive and dull. Bai Youyou ate carefully, keeping an eye on everyone's movements.

The prince was the first to break the silence. He smiled and raised his glass to toast the emperor. After a few auspicious words, the emperor seemed to be in a better mood.

It was a winter day and the food on the table got cold in a short while. Bai Youyou took a few bites and then felt bored and wanted to doze off.

The emperor on the high throne rubbed his brows tiredly and said, "I am a little drunk, you guys eat first."

Chen Zongguan supported the emperor, and Concubine Li and the queen quickly stood up and followed him, "Your Majesty, I will help you to rest for a while."

As soon as the emperor and empress left, everyone became more relaxed, talking louder and drinking, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Xu Mengling came over and said, "It's boring here, let's go out and get some fresh air."

"Go ahead." The old lady said with a smile, "Be careful."

Lu Chen also wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by the prince who was walking over, "Madam, Mr. Lu Qi."

"Your Highness."

The old lady and Lu Chen stood up quickly.

"Today is the end of the year. I wish the old lady good health and a long life."

"Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness."

The old lady picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

I thought the prince would leave, but he pulled Lu Chen aside and talked about playing chess in the Big Buddha Temple in March.

Lu Chen was impatient in his heart, but with a decent smile on his face, he accompanied the prince in recalling the chess game of that day.

Outside the house, Xu Mengling and Bai Youyou walked onto the garden path. When the cold wind blew, Bai Youyou couldn't help but shiver.

Xu Mengling wrapped her cloak tightly around her neck. "The scenery in the palace is nice. It's a rare opportunity to get in. I'll take a good look."

Bai Youyou smiled.

The place where power is concentrated is magnificent and filled with carved railings and jade bricks, which is indeed rare to see.

The one following Bai Youyou today is not Xiaoju, but the skilled Lu Qi.

She was wearing a light blue jacket, with two buns on her hair. She took off the black scarf on her face, revealing a cute baby face.

Many young men and women came out because the palace banquet was boring. They met many familiar faces before they took a few steps.

A little palace maid ran over with her head down, "Miss Xu, our second princess wants you to come over."

Xu Mengling was about to take Bai Youyou with her, but was stopped by the little palace maid, "Miss Xu, our second princess has some private matters to discuss with you..."

"You go ahead, I'll go to my grandmother and cousin."

This is the palace, full of traps and plots. Bai Youyou dare not be careless. Without anyone to accompany her, she is afraid of getting into trouble alone.

"Well, you go back first."

Xu Mengling gave her an apologetic smile before turning around and leaving with the maidservant beside the second princess.

"Let's go back too."

Bai Youyou and Lu Qi walked slowly back along the same route, and happened to meet Bai Yaoyao who was out for a stroll.

"Miss Bai Si."

Ever since Bai Youyou asked Bai Yaoyao to make random relatives in public, Bai Yaoyao now calls her Fourth Miss Bai.

The smile on her face was particularly bright tonight. "Yun Ni Fang alone earned 200,000 taels of silver a day. Fourth Miss Bai is now very famous. What a good trick!"

Everyone can make innuendos. Bai Youyou raised the corner of her lip and looked at her sarcastically, "Miss Bai Wu's plan of cutting off the source of the fire is perfect. I admit that I can't even compare to her."

Bai Yaoyao sighed, looking helpless, "So what? I put so much thought into it, but in the end, I still made wedding clothes for Fourth Miss Bai."

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to solve this urgent problem at this moment."

Bai Yaoyao was in an unusually good mood today, and was not annoyed by Bai Youyou's sarcasm.

She looked Bai Youyou up and down, "Fourth Miss Bai has become even more beautiful now. She is really enviable."

Bai Youyou was a little confused by her sudden change of topic and frowned slightly.

"Miss Bai Wu, are you trying to imply something? If you have something to say, why not just say it directly? Why beat around the bush?"

"No way." Bai Yaoyao smiled, "I just feel emotional seeing my sister become an immortal now."

There was no way Bai Youyou would believe her, but her words made her even more alert.

"It's cold at night, so I won't accompany Miss Bai Wu."

Bai Yaoyao looked at Bai Youyou who was leaving from her side. Niu Tou looked at her slender back with a gloating smile on his face.

"Since ancient times, beautiful women have had short lives. My fifth sister, from today on, you will be a noble lady in the palace."

Bai Youyou always had a bad feeling in her heart when she heard her muttering, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

The prince sent people to secretly protect Bai Yaoyao. Everything about her is unknown now, and no one knows what she and the prince are plotting behind the scenes.

"Youyou, here!"

Just as I reached a corner, a familiar voice sounded under a sweet-scented osmanthus tree under the eaves of the corridor.
