Soon Bai noticed the guard of honor coming towards her, so she stepped aside, bowed and knelt down.
Then the honor guard came to her and stopped, only to hear the soft voice of a woman above her head: "But Mrs. Cao?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Bai looked up and saw He saw an extremely beautiful woman sitting in a sedan chair carried by everyone and looking at him.
"Your Majesty, you are my wife!" Looking at the ceremonial guard, Bai couldn't help but guess that the ceremonial guard with such a posture must be either the Jin family or the Su family. However, I heard that the Jin family was very arrogant, so the approachable woman in front of her must be the Su family.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Bai raised her eyes and looked at Su Lingxue in the sedan chair. She saw her gentle eyes and her whole body exuding a gentle aura. So Bai Shi boldly said: "Your Majesty, I am the mother of a virtuous concubine. I wonder if your Majesty can lend me a word."
"Mrs. Cao invites me, how can I refuse!" Su Lingxue responded: " Then let's go to the garden over there."
"Yes!" Bai replied.
The two came to the pavilion in the garden. Su Lingxue came to the stone table and sat down directly. She also told Mrs. Bai beside her: "Mrs. Cao, please sit down too!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Su Lingxue heard a "plop" next to her. Su Lingxue turned around and saw Bai kneeling beside her. Then she heard Bai said: "I am grateful to the empress for saving my little girl." !" After saying that, he bent down and kowtowed.
"Hua Ning, help Mrs. Cao up quickly!" Su Lingxue ordered quickly.
When Hua Ning came over to help her, Bai Shi also stood up: "Your Majesty has a kind heart, and I admire her very much." Bai Shi couldn't help but use her flattering skills.
Su Lingxue smiled when she heard this. At this time, the palace maid had brought the warm tea.
"Mrs. Cao, there is no need to be polite, sit down!"
"Thank you, empress!" After hearing this, Mrs. Bai sat down unceremoniously.
Then I heard Su Lingxue say: "I don't know how Sister Cao is doing now? My sister is sick, and I can't go to Liuyun Palace to visit her." Su Lingxue picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip.
"My little girl is fine now. Thank you for your concern!" Bai responded. Thinking of her daughter, the idea in Bai's mind resurfaced again. She first turned her head and looked around, but saw no one else. Then he looked at Su Lingxue and whispered:
"My dear, my little daughter Yue'er has been weak-tempered since she was a child. Now that she has entered the palace, she has been bullied and murdered by others. My wife is very distressed, but here There is no way to protect my daughter in the harem. I know that my empress has always been favored by the emperor and can hold a high position as a concubine under one person. She has a plan in mind."
"I would like to request you! "As she spoke, Mrs. Bai picked up the teacup at hand and paid tribute to Su Lingxue: "I ask you to protect your daughter in this strange harem. You don't want your daughter to be promoted to a high position, but you want her to be stable throughout her life."
"If the empress can protect the safety of my little daughter, I will definitely ask the officials to escort the empress in the court!" After saying that, Mrs. Bai carefully watched the change in Su Lingxue's expression in front of her.
But Su Lingxue looked at Bai with an unperturbed expression: "Mrs. Cao, do you know that emperors in the past were very taboo about the harem being involved with the previous dynasty!"
" Of course I know!" Mrs. Bai responded: "But so what? Do you want to watch your daughter being killed by others?"
"Yue'er is my only one. The child has been the apple of the eye of the wife and the officials since they were young. If the wife cannot do it, neither can the officials! "
"If the empress is afraid, I will not force myself, and I will do it myself! Think of other ways!" Bai added without being humble or arrogant.
"Mrs. Cao, are you sure you can convince Mr. Cao?" Su Lingxue turned to look at Bai next to her.
When Mrs. Bai heard this, she felt happy and quickly responded: "Of course you can. In fact, you don't need to persuade, the officials will know how to do it!"
"That's very good. !" Su Lingxue responded: "As long as I am in the harem, I will protect Sister Cao for one day. I hope Mrs. Cao and Mr. Cao will not forget the agreement between us." Su Lingxue picked up the tea cup and offered it.

Seeing this, Mr. Bai held his teacup in front of Su Lingxue and said, "It's a deal!"
After making the agreement, the two of them quickly settled down without further chatting. They separated, and after the two left, a palace maid appeared behind a tree in the distance, and saw the palace maid heading straight to Weiyang Palace.
Weiyang Palace.
"Mother, Mrs. Su and Mrs. Cao are gathered together. It seems that Mrs. Cao is grateful to Mrs. Su for saving her daughter." Yu Yin, who was standing beside her, said aloud.
"It's a pity that I couldn't hear the content of their conversation!" The queen sitting at the desk said: "No matter what they said, it is a taboo for the emperor to have concubines in the harem involved with the previous dynasty. "After saying that, the queen put down the brush in her hand.
That night, Pei Mochen came to Weiyang Palace. After dinner, the queen accompanied Pei Mochen to play chess in the study.
After a long time, Pei Mochen suddenly smiled and said: "In the harem, the queen is the only one who can play a game of chess with me."
"The emperor is ridiculously complimentary, and I can only give a little. I don’t understand, the emperor is just letting me be my concubine!” the queen said humbly with a smile.
Pei Mochen raised his hand and waved: "Don't say that, I will!"
"Come, let's have another fun game of chess!" Pei Mochen was very excited said.
"Yes!" The queen naturally would not refuse. Looking at Pei Mochen who was in a good mood across from her, the queen slowly said: "Today the mother of Concubine Xian, Mrs. Cao, came to the palace, but Mrs. Cao saw that After visiting Sister Cao, Sister Cao was indeed in a much better mood!"
"Well, there are relatives beside me!Yes, that is naturally good! "Pei Mochen responded while playing chess.
The queen looked up at Pei Mochen and continued: "It's just that when Mrs. Cao left the palace, she met Concubine Su, and the two of them went to the garden specially. I sat in the pavilion for a long time. "
"It seems that Mrs. Cao was grateful to Concubine Su for rescuing her daughter. "The queen said with a smile, but her eyes were paying attention to Pei Mochen's movements. Sure enough, she saw her hand suddenly paused.
Seeing this, the queen continued to say quietly: "Concubine Su has never liked to go out. During his two outings, he either saved Sister Cao or met Mrs. Cao! ”
“I don’t know, is it a coincidence?” "
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden "pop" sound, and the black piece in Pei Mochen's hand was thrown directly on the chessboard, immediately disrupting the moves on it.
Pei Mochen only heard Asked seriously: "What does the queen want to say? "
When the queen saw this, she seemed to be suddenly startled. She quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I made a sudden slip of the tongue. "
After a long time, Pei Mochen, who was beside the chessboard, sighed and then said: "Get up! "
"Yes! "The queen stood up properly.
Pei Mochen said: "It is a taboo for the harem to involve the former dynasty. If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense from now on! ”
“This won’t happen again! "
"Yes! "The queen lowered her head and responded politely.
Over there, Pei Mochen lowered his head and retorted, but in fact he also had doubts in his heart.
