Chapter 4 Why are you so disobedient today?

Those who were selected were beaming with joy, while those who were not selected were in tears.

Among the crowd, Bai Wutong raised his eyes slightly.

She had already expected that she would lose the election.

Everyone knew that there were no children in the palace. Even for the sake of the royal heir, the Queen Mother and others would look for women who were suitable for giving birth. Neither his family background nor his body shape were among them.

However, she had already made a backup plan.

"Meow!"

A cat's meow was heard.

A white shadow rushed into the palace.

It was a raccoon with fluffy, snow-white fur. She wore a golden bell around her neck, which made crisp sounds when she walked.

The Queen Mother stood up and quickly called to the palace servants, "Go and catch Fubao! How could he escape?"

Everyone looked at the white raccoon.

It turned out that this was Fubao, the beast raised by the Queen Mother in the palace. It was said that it was fed and drank well every day, and had special personal maids to serve it. Even some concubines did not live as well as it.

None of the women in the palace could give birth, except this cat. She gave birth to litter after litter of cubs, and each litter contained several babies, many and strong, and each one could be raised.

The Queen Mother regarded it as a good omen and held it in her arms whenever she had nothing to do, hoping that it would bring good news to the palace.

The palace maid was afraid of hurting Fubao, so she could only call his name in a low voice, "Master Fubao, come here."

Fubao sat proudly on the ground, licking his own fur. If anyone dared to approach, he would bite them with his sharp teeth.

Suddenly, it jumped up and dove into the crowd of beauties.

Everyone screamed and fled in all directions.

Only Bai Wutong was still standing there.

Seeing that the raccoon's sharp claws were about to grab her face, someone closed her eyes and dared not look any longer.

The three girls of the Xun family were really unlucky. They were targeted by the cat slave.

Even if you are injured or disfigured, you have no place to seek justice, and you might even be blamed by the royal family for seeing blood on the day of the selection.

The expected screams did not come.

When everyone looked up, they saw that Fubao no longer had the majestic demeanor he had before. He was lying obediently in Bai Wutong's arms, sticking out his tongue and licking her cheek.

Bai Wutong chuckled a few times, as sweet as a silver bell.

Holding Fubao's arm, his sleeves slipped down, revealing a slender white wrist. When she bent down slightly, the collar of her clothes was hooked open by the cat's claws, revealing her soft jade and tender flowers.

The women in the palace probably have louder voices due to their body shape.

This was the first time Zhang Chengyan had heard such a soft and gentle tone.

His eyes darkened as he looked at Bai Wutong.

The Queen Mother was surprised and said, "This Fubao has always been close to me only. Even the palace maids who take care of him day and night are not allowed to get close to him. I didn't expect that you could be so close to Fubao."

Bai Wutong put Fubao down and knelt on the ground, "Empress Dowager, I don't know why. Please forgive me."

The Queen Mother waved, "Fubao, come here."

Bai Wutong looked down.

Fubao's eyes met hers, his narrow vertical pupils glowing golden.

It barked, raised its tail, walked towards the Queen Mother step by step, and jumped lightly into the arms of the most noble woman in the world.

The Queen Mother stroked its fur and said, "Okay, let's all go down."

Fubao in his arms instantly got angry, jumped down again and snuggled into Bai Wutong's arms.

From the look on its face, if someone were allowed to leave, it would surely leave with them.

"Why is Fubao so disobedient today?"

Zhang Chengyan retracted his gaze, as if he didn't care, and said calmly, "Mother, this girl is lucky to be chosen by Fubao, why don't we stay together."

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Leave the sign."

Although the emperor was attracted by the girl's appearance, he would never let her focus her attention on a concubine who was difficult to give birth to.

It's just one more person. Even if she becomes a concubine in the future, she can only accompany Fubao every day. If you want to win the emperor's heart, you're dreaming!

The eunuch stepped forward and said, "Bai Wutong, the daughter of the Hanlin scholar, is kind-hearted and graceful. I'll leave a name card for her!"

Bai Wutong bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, and thank you, Your Majesty."

Jade plaques engraved with surnames were handed to him one by one.

Bai Wutong looked at the jade token and held it gently in his hand.

She finally entered the deep palace.

"Father, Mother, wait for me to avenge you!"
