She should be Jun Zechen’s new concubine in the past five years.

Didn't he not touch a woman for five years? Could it be that he kept her in his harem?

Su Jingyao muttered to herself in her heart, but her face remained calm.

Bai Yingyue saw that the woman was still sitting there leisurely eating and did not stand up to greet her. Her brows slightly frowned and a hint of displeasure flashed across her face.

The maid beside her immediately jumped out and scolded: "How dare you! Who are you? Why don't you greet the White Concubine?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for greeting you. If Concubine Bai doesn't mind, please just sit down."

Su Jingyao calmly put down her chopsticks, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, firm and calm.

Su Jingyao has been the queen for several lifetimes. It is absolutely impossible for her to pay respects to Jun Zechen's concubine now.

Falsely convey the imperial decree and make it up as you please.

The maidservant beside Bai Yingyue was still preparing to say something. After all, her master's favor was so great that even the imperial concubine had to give way to her in the harem. Yet, today, this unknown woman, relying on her beauty, was so rude to her master.

Bai Yingyue looked at Su Jingyao's calm and composed appearance, and her expression instantly became solemn.

She quickly reached out and stopped the maid from saying any offensive words.

Then, she sat down next to Su Jingyao gracefully but cautiously.

After sitting down, Bai Yingyue began to look at Su Jingyao's appearance without any concealment. The more she looked, the more frightened she became.

Not only was she surprised by the woman's extremely prominent and delicate facial features, but also because she seemed to see her own shadow in this woman's face?

Bai Yingyue's family background was not outstanding. After entering the palace, because she was favored, her father treated her mother in the mansion much better, and even began to carefully arrange a marriage for her younger sister.

However, everyone knew that she was favored, and only she herself knew that His Majesty had never touched her.

At the beginning, because she was the only concubine summoned by His Majesty, several high-ranking concubines with prominent family backgrounds in the palace began to bully her.

She was of low rank, was punished to kneel, and was asked by a high-ranking concubine to pour tea like a maid. Those humiliating scenes flashed through her mind one by one.

Every time she gritted her teeth and endured it, because she was the only one who knew that His Majesty did not like her.

But by chance, when she was bullied again, His Majesty did not stand on the side of those domineering concubines, but severely punished those concubines who bullied her regardless of the reason.

She couldn't understand why His Majesty disliked her but protected her at the same time.

But later she gradually figured it out.

Before the Queen Mother took several new brides into the palace, His Majesty did not like beautiful women and did not want to enter the harem, and Bai Yingyue did not know the reason.

Everyone in the harem kept silent about His Majesty's affairs, and no one dared to discuss His Majesty's past. No matter how hard she tried to inquire, she could not get any useful information.

Later, the imperial concubine appeared calm about her favor, but in fact she still couldn't stand her complacency in the harem, and even took the initiative to tell him that she was only somewhat similar to the late queen, which was why His Majesty looked at her differently.

At this point she finally guessed what His Majesty was thinking.

His Majesty only has the late queen in his heart, so she was made his favorite concubine in order to prevent the Queen Mother from continuing to take concubines for him, and also to allow her and the imperial concubine to check and balance each other in the harem.

After figuring all this out, Bai Yingyue, even though she came from a humble family, became more and more arrogant and domineering in the harem because she had the support of His Majesty, and specifically went against the Imperial Concubine.

And His Majesty's behavior was just as she expected. Even if she deliberately provoked him, His Majesty would stand firmly on her side.

Bai Yingyue was very satisfied with her life after entering the palace. Her family had already attached great importance to her mother and sister, and she also enjoyed fine clothes and delicious food in the palace, which was the wealth and glory she had never dreamed of.

All the scenes that had happened since she entered the palace in the past year flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope.

While his thoughts were in a tizzy, his eyes were fixed on the woman opposite him without blinking, unable to move away for a long time.

The expression on Bai Yingyue's face was complex and changeable.

She had never seen the late queen, so she had no idea what she looked like.

At this moment, she looked at the beautiful face of the woman opposite her, her heart full of speculations.

Could it be that Your Majesty has found someone who looks more like the late queen?

Thinking of this, she felt a little flustered and uneasy.

If this is the case, then is she of no use to Your Majesty?

Once this thought came up, it spread in her heart like wild weeds, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
