Since Qiqing had been living with Bai Ziche at night these days, Bai Ziyu was worried that something might happen to Qiqing at night, so he arranged for Qiqing to live in Bai Ziche's palace first.

But Bai Ziche and Bai Ziyu had just been summoned to the palace to meet Emperor Yunlang and report what happened during this trip to Mount Qi.

A decree from the Queen Mother arrived at Bai Ziche's palace, summoning Qiqing to the palace.

Bai Shi didn't dare delay, and since his Highness didn't have time to return home, he asked Hei Shi to inform the two Highnesses while he followed Qi Qing to the harem. Bai Shi had accompanied Bai Zi Che into the Empress's palace many times, so it was no problem for him to follow Qi Qing.

When Qiqing and Bai Shi arrived, there were three young girls in the palace, in addition to the dignified and graceful queen dressed in a phoenix robe.

They sat on both sides of the lower seat. One of them was Yao Ruling whom I had met before. It was indeed Yao Ruling that the Queen summoned Qiqing into the palace.

The other two are the daughters of Prince Ruyang, Princess Ruyang and Princess Yusu.

Yao Ruling is beautiful and charming, Princess Ruyang is gentle and generous, and Princess Yusu is simple, elegant and noble.

Including the Empress, everyone present was a beauty of national beauty. Yet, the moment Qiqing entered, the Empress couldn't help but sigh. This girl was truly beautiful. No wonder Ruling was so nervous.

The Queen and the others all looked at the purple-robed figure standing alone in the hall, each with a different expression.

Princess Yusu couldn't help but move closer to Princess Ruyang and whispered, "Ruyang, this girl is so beautiful, and... look at her eyes, they are purple, so beautiful."

His tone was full of envy and curiosity.

Princess Ruyang smiled faintly, her eyes never leaving Qiqing: "That's right."

Yao Ruling stared at Qiqing with unkindness in her eyes, and her face became even darker after she heard the conversation between Princess Yusu and Princess Ruyang.

Qi Qing just stood quietly looking at the queen who sat high up in the sky. She didn't understand what the queen meant. Bai Shi only told her that this queen was the mother of Bai Ziche and Bai Ziyu.

So she stood quietly and looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

"How dare you! You don't even kneel down to pay your respects when you see the Queen!" Yao Ruling scolded.

Qi Qing glanced at the furious Yao Ruling inexplicably, a little bewildered: "Why do you have to kneel down and salute?"

"You...you dare to talk back. You are so brave, aunt. Look at how arrogant she is. She relies on the support of cousin Zi Yu and doesn't even take you seriously!" Yao Ruling turned to the Queen and provoked her.

Although the Queen looked somewhat puzzled, she was not angry. She looked at the bewildered girl with more curiosity.

Princess Yusu and Princess Ruyang also looked surprised, and the atmosphere became a little weird for a moment.

Bai Shi, who had been waiting at the door, looked anxiously at the palace gate for a long time, but did not see the two princes. He could not help but lower his head and walked into the palace.

He knelt down and saluted, saying: "Your servant Bai Shi greets the Queen, may the Queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

The Queen was startled and said calmly, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Bai Shi took a quick look at Qi Qing, who was still standing there stupidly, and sighed inwardly. He whispered, "Your Majesty, Miss Qi Qing has lived in the mountains since she was a child. She doesn't understand worldly matters, nor does she know royal etiquette.

"I was injured a while ago and my memory was damaged, so I accidentally offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me." Bai Shi explained to Qi Qing.

"Hmph, Bai Shi, are you saying this to excuse her? Do you think we are stupid? We would believe such nonsense as yours." Yao Ruling snorted in disbelief.

Bai Shi said, "Your Majesty, I am not lying. Your Highness and the Fourth Prince both know about this. Miss Qiqing saved them by chance, so Your Highness will repay her by bringing her back to Yunjing to help her find her family and regain her memory."

Bai Shi did not go into too much detail to avoid causing any trouble.

After listening to Bai Shi's words, he looked at Qiqing carefully again and indeed noticed that this girl was a little different.

The pair of purple eyes, though special, lacked any life. The delicate little face was beautiful but lacked any vitality.

He asked softly, "Your name is Qiqing?"

Qiqing answered: "Yes"

The Queen then asked, "How did you lose your memory? Do you still have any memory of your relatives?"

Qi Qing shook his head: "I only remember that my father went to Dongyi, and Bai Ziyu said that Dongyi should be in the east."

He is as ignorant of emotions as a child.

The Empress's expression became noticeably more friendly, and she smiled dignifiedly, "Yu'er is right. The Dongyi are probably in the east. Qiqing, don't worry. Stay in Yunjing for now. Wait for Che'er and Yu'er to help you find your father, and then we can make plans."

"Aunt..." Yao Ruling opened her eyes wide and shouted in disbelief. She asked the queen to call Qiqing into the palace to help her vent her anger.

But what she didn't expect was that the queen was her aunt and the mother of Bai Ziche and Bai Ziyu, and Qiqing was the savior of her two children.

The Queen's eyes became noticeably kinder, and she nodded slightly.
