"Hey, thank you, Miss."

Youlan waited until Bai Shu finished eating before excitedly picking up a piece of cake and putting it in her mouth.

"Yeah! The quality of Bai Xiang Zhai is widely recognized, and the new dishes are delicious too!"

Youlan commented as she ate, saying that the pastry melted in her mouth, had just the right sweetness, and was a real treat for her taste buds.

"Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you."

Bai Shu couldn't help laughing. She looked at Youlan eating like a little hamster. She was so cute.

Youlan felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, and her chewing movements gradually slowed down.

The atmosphere between the master and servant here was harmonious, but in the carriage behind, the atmosphere was tense...

"Miss, please don't be angry. Our carriage is also very good, and others can tell it belongs to the Prime Minister's Mansion at a glance."

Cuiguo knelt tremblingly on the carriage. She was the maid Su Yunxi brought from the farm and had been with her for more than ten years. She knew her inside and out.

"In the past, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion pretended to give Bai Shu and me the same supplies.

Now her true colors have finally been revealed. She built such a comfortable carriage for her, but I can't even sit in it!"

Su Yunxi was very angry. She held the handkerchief tightly in her hand. The curtains on both sides of the carriage were tied to prevent her distorted face from being seen.

She knew that Jiang and the others' kindness to her was just superficial, and their favorite was still Bai Shu.

But this bias is too blatant...

"Miss, please be patient. Miss Bai has given up on Master Du now, and you will be able to marry him as you wish soon."

Cuiguo could only comfort Su Yunxi at this time and did not dare to go against her.

"Do you mean I can only have someone Bai Shu doesn't want?"

Su Yunxi rarely loses control, but she feels that many things are slowly getting out of control these past two days.

Du Wenqing hadn't come to see her in the past two days, and Bai Shu and the Bai family's attitude towards her had also changed drastically.

She didn't know whether she should hold on to Du Wenqing or give up on him immediately...

"Miss, that's not what I meant. After you came of age, many families came to propose marriage.

Your appearance and character are among the best even in the capital."

Cuiguo didn't dare to praise her as being better than the daughters of wealthy families, nor did she dare to praise her for her talent. After all, if she flattered someone incorrectly, the consequences would be more serious.

"Get up and sit down. There will be no place for you to sit once we enter the palace."

Su Yunxi slowly regained her composure. After she calmed down, she realized that she had been too excited just now, which was inappropriate.

She was born in a humble family and had to cling to the big tree of the Xiangfu in order to soar to the sky.

…

"Sister, my aunt told us to look after each other, so let's go in together."

Su Yunxi looked calmly at the brand new carriage that Bai Shu was riding in. The jealousy and impatience on her face were gone.

She has to control herself and not lose her composure in front of outsiders.

"Um."

Bai Shu lifted the front curtain and slowly walked down the steps. Her gaze was filled with brilliance.

Suddenly she noticed another carriage parked at the palace gate. Wasn’t that Xiao Moqing’s luxurious carriage from last time?

[Tongzi, no men were invited to the flower viewing party, right?]

Bai Shu thought about Xiao Moqing's identity. It should be normal for him to appear in the palace, right?

She looked at the carriage and couldn't help but think of the regent who wore Buddhist beads and was extremely noble.

[The flower viewing banquet was attended by women. In the original plot, Su Yunxi and several women from small families ridiculed the original body.

But the news of Su Su cursing Du Wenqing in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion two days ago has spread all over the streets and alleys, so this time the original plot should be broken.

Analyzing the system professionally.

[It's okay, the rumors won't harm me. How's the progress of the mission?]

Bai Shu felt relieved and a little regretful when she heard this. People like to pursue beautiful things, and she especially likes...

So no matter how scary Xiao Moqing's aura is, as long as he stands there, Bai Shu can admire him all day long!

[Susu, I haven't told you yet, this mission has a different mechanism than the previous ones. You can only claim the reward after completing it.]

The system tries to minimize its presence, and it doesn't know why.

The first 999 tasks will unlock rewards and equipment by completing some of them.

[What did you say? There wasn't even a reward for completing this mission?!]

Bai Shu was furious. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have been so honest. She would have handed in all her equipment after using it. Now she had nothing but her brain...

[Don't worry, Susu, you still have me! I'm very useful!]

The system often acts in a corrupt manner, and it is somewhat useful to seek some benefits for Bai Shu.

"Forget it. If you help me strengthen my physique, I'll have to sleep for several hours. I'm afraid you won't be able to wake up one day."

Although Bai Shu said that she was not forgiving, she actually felt much more at ease.

[Susu, don't be so realistic! Just throw it away after use!]

The system wailed in Bai Shu's mind.

Please stop your poor performance.

As soon as Bai Shu finished speaking, the system fell silent.

"I don't know why the Queen wants to hold this flower viewing banquet, and the guests are all young ladies like us."

Su Yunxi broke the silence. From the entrance of the palace, they walked along the high palace wall.

The streets outside the wall are bustling with traffic, but inside the wall are deep palaces and gardens, shrouded in shadows, which makes people tremble.

"Of course, the purpose of the flower viewing banquet is to appreciate the flowers. As for who to invite, that was also the Queen's decision. We'd better not speculate."

Bai Shu was a little impressed by Su Yunxi's temperament. She was able to cheer up so quickly and greet her with a smile.

"My sister is right. We cannot speculate on the Queen's words and actions, but there are always some rumors circulating in the streets, whether true or false."

Su Yunxi directly pointed out the rumor that the queen was jealous.

She had initially thought about getting close to the rich and powerful, but it was rumored that the Empress was extremely jealous and would not allow the Emperor to visit any concubine's bedroom.

The key point is that the emperor still indulged her. Even when the officials came to the emperor to make suggestions, the emperor did not respond. This shows the plight of the other concubines in the harem.

And Su Yunxi didn't think she had the ability to outshine all the other beauties in the harem and surpass the queen.

"Sister, rumors stop at the wise. Since you don't know whether it's true or not, it's better not to discuss it. Be careful, there are ears behind the walls."

Bai Shu stood still, her eyes cold and her face serious, she turned to Su Yunxi and said,

She didn't want to be implicated by the idiot Su Yunxi.

"Sister, you are absolutely right."

Su Yunxi responded awkwardly,

The maid who led the way couldn't help but look at Bai Shu twice. She was from the Queen's palace and was good at observing people's words and expressions.

But she discovered that Bai Shu seemed completely different from the brainless, nymphomaniac, and dissolute persona that was rumored. Rumors really shouldn't be trusted...

"My younger sister also wants to remind my older sister that when you encounter an opportunity, you must seize it. Otherwise, if you miss the opportunity, you will regret it."

Bai Shu looked at Su Yunxi, who was half a head shorter than her. She'd better take the initiative to win over Du Wenqing, otherwise she would have to take action...
