Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 40 Concubine
As soon as Ling Youyao entered Fengyi Palace, the queen warmly greeted her.

Looking at her delicate face, she couldn't bear to joke: "No wonder Xiao Qi wants me to send someone to pick you up. If someone sees you like this, he might fall into the vinegar vat!"

Ling Youyao was surprised and said: "It was the prince who let you"

"Yes." The Queen's eyes became more and more smiling, "Xiao Qi sent someone to tell Bengong early in the morning. , let Bengong take you over."

Xiao Qi did ask her to pick up Ling Youyao, but she didn't give a reason. As for the following words, she guessed that Xiao Qi should also think so.

"The lord actually troubles the empress, it's really a disgraceful concubine."

Having said that, Ling Youyao still couldn't believe that Fu Mingjue cared so much about her.

The queen patted her hand and said with a smile: "We are all a family, so why not bother?"

It is said that Fu Mingjue is cold-blooded and ruthless, and his relatives are weak, but the queen takes special care of Fu Mingjue. Ling Youyao thinks that Fu Xiuyun is not like an elder brother, but the queen's sister-in-law is more like an elder sister.

The queen came from the Xie family in Chenjun. The world-famous Lushan Academy was founded by the Xie family, and Lushan students are all over the world.It was precisely because of this that the first emperor chose Xie's daughter to be the queen.

Perhaps because she was born in a scholarly family, the queen's words and deeds are dignified and gentle like a lady's, but there is a bit of a scholar's innocence and nobility.

The mother of a country should be so.

Seeing that she was staring at her, the queen was not unhappy, but instead smiled and said: "If you look at me like that again, I will punish you."

Ling Youyao came back to her senses, and smiled embarrassedly: "I just think you are very kind."

As soon as these words came out, both the queen and Qing Dai couldn't help laughing.

Qing Dai said: "That's how you haven't seen our empress scolding people."

The queen glared at her reproachfully: "When did I reprimand you?" But there was no trace of blame in her eyes.

Qing Dai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has always been the best to slaves."

Ling Youyao was very moved when she saw the interaction between the master and the servant. In this palace with clear distinctions between superiors and inferiors, there is such a friendship between master and servant.

The queen glanced at Qingdai, then said to Ling Youyao: "This girl has been with Bengong since she was a child, she is used to it, so please don't laugh at her."

"Your Majesty is generous, and I am very happy to see you." Ling Youyao laughed.

"It's almost time, I will take you to pay your respects to the queen mother first, and then go to Zhaoyang Palace."

Ling Youyao then got up and went to Yanfu Palace with the Queen.

There are so many female relatives entering the palace today, the queen mother is busy talking to those imperial wives, and even Su Lingxi, who has always been the most beloved, is left out in the cold.

Su Lingxi didn't care, the queen mother was also her own aunt.

But Su Yu'e didn't think so, she entered the palace today just for the Empress Dowager.

"Second Sister, are we leaving now?" Su Yu'e tugged at her sleeve, obviously not wanting to leave just like that.

Su Lingxi said: "Well, don't you want to go shopping? You can go now."

"But." Su Yu'e twisted her clothes with her fingers, "Shouldn't we tell the empress dowager?"

Su Lingxi sneered, and said, "Auntie is busy talking to the wives, so she doesn't have time to talk to you."

"If you want to stay, then stay." She didn't want to spend time with Su Yu'e here, and she came here for the prince today.

After finishing speaking, Su Lingxi turned and left.

Su Yu'e stood alone in front of the vermilion palace gate, struggled for a long time, and finally decided to chase Su Lingxi.

She only hesitated for a moment, and when she came out again, Su Lingxi was nowhere to be seen.

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl looked very small in the huge palace, and even mixed in with a group of palace people, she could be ignored.

Su Yu'e looked down at the ordinary dress on her body, feeling extremely ashamed, she was obviously a lady of Yuguo Duke's mansion, but compared to Su Lingxi, she looked like a maid.

Even the opportunity to enter the palace today was begged by my mother for a long time.

This magnificent palace is full of flowers, but there is no room for a simple flower.

Su Yu'e buried her head down, for fear that others would look at her strangely, but the fact is - no one looked at her at all.

"Ah!" A mean female voice sounded, "How can such a cheap hoof dare to hit me?"

Su Yu'e hadn't come back to her senses yet, her face suddenly felt pain, a fiery slap was thrown on her face, and a red handprint suddenly appeared on her fair little face.

Concubine Zhou Shu glared at Su Yu'e who was on the ground angrily, and cursed: "Things without eyes! How dare you even bump into me? Drag it down and slap your mouth!"

Hearing these words, Su Yu'e was so frightened that she kowtowed to admit her mistake: "I, I didn't do it on purpose."

Mingyue looked at Su Yu'e, and whispered in Concubine Zhou Shu's ear: "Your Majesty, I think this girl doesn't look like a maid, she should be a lady from someone's family."

Hearing this, Concubine Zhou Shu looked Su Yu'e up and down, and said mockingly: "Whose lady is dressed like a maid?"

These words were like a cold knife that pierced Su Yu'e's heart hard. She was so ashamed and angry that tears fell uncontrollably.

"It's really bad luck!" Concubine Zhou Shu's face was full of impatience, "Hurry up and drag her down, don't be an eyesore in front of me!"

Su Yu'e begged in a panic: "My lord, please forgive me! I, I am the young lady of Yuguo's mansion"

"The Duke Yu's Mansion?" Concubine Zhou Shu became interested, "I only remember that there is only Miss Su Er in the Duke Yu's Mansion, so what kind of lady are you?"

"I" Su Yu'e's face was extremely embarrassing.

She is the young lady of the third room, just a concubine.

When the two were at a stalemate, a gentle voice suddenly came: "What are you doing?"

Concubine Zhou Shu turned her head and saw the queen walking slowly, accompanied by a pretty girl.

Who is she?
The moment Concubine Zhou Shu saw Ling Youyao, she was in a daze. Is there anyone more beautiful than her in the palace?
Sensing Concubine Zhou Shu's gaze, Ling Youyao couldn't help but look at the queen.

The queen said displeasedly: "Concubine Zhou Shu, I am asking you something."

Concubine Zhou Shu suddenly came back to her senses, met the queen's cold gaze, and smiled very faintly: "It's nothing, it's just a little girl who bumped into my concubine."

The queen then looked at Su Yu'e behind her, winked at Qingdai, and asked someone to help Su Yu'e up.

Then he said to Concubine Zhou Shu: "There are many people coming to the palace banquet today, so you should restrain your temper."

"The concubine would like to follow the instructions of the empress." Concubine Zhou Shu curled her lips, but there was a hint of sarcasm.

Ling Youyao secretly looked at Concubine Zhou Shu, feeling resentful in her heart: Fu Xiuyun must be blind, such a gentle and virtuous queen doesn't favor her, but prefers the bitter and mean Concubine Zhou Shu.

Concubine Zhou Shu caught Ling Youyao's gaze, and immediately said: "I don't know who this lady is? How come I have never seen you before?"
