Chapter 4: Trying to Draw a Tiger but Ending Up Drawing a Dog



The Queen thought about it and realized that among all the princesses, only Bai Lingling and Bai Jinjin had ever come into contact with each other...

After returning to the palace, the queen immediately ordered someone to summon Bai Lingling.

A moment later

Bai Lingling knelt on the ground in fear. She didn't know why she was summoned, so she lay on the ground without saying a word.

The Queen's eyes were filled with disdain and disgust, but she put on a kind smile and said softly to Bai Lingling, "Hurry up and get up. There's no need to be nervous."

Bai Lingling did as she was told and secretly looked up at the Queen, who was smiling. She felt relieved in her heart that it was not a bad thing.

When the Queen saw Bai Lingling dressed simply and didn't dare to raise her head, she looked down on her even more. But now she was the only one left.

"I know you've suffered a lot because of Bai Jinjin."

When Bai Lingling heard this, she seemed to know what the Queen was going to do, and her heart trembled. She was afraid that she could not avoid this storm.

Bai Lingling didn't answer for a long time, and the Queen looked a little embarrassed.

At this time, Bai Lingling suddenly said, "It's not hard, but life like this is really sad. Please help me, Empress Dowager."

The Queen nodded in satisfaction and said, "In that case, I would like to adopt you. Are you willing?"

Bai Lingling raised her head and looked at the queen with a determined look. This was her chance to turn the tables!

"Your son is willing."

The queen nodded and said that temperament can be cultivated, but if there is no wisdom, she will probably have to find another one.

After exchanging a few words with Bai Lingling, he placed her in a side hall and dressed her up.

But this dress and hair accessories are the same as Bai Jinjin's, an outfit that is not suitable for Bai Lingling, completely destroying Bai Lingling's unique gentle temperament.

It looks out of place, and his mean temperament is completely prominent, which makes him look very unpleasant.

Bai Lingling looked at herself in the mirror and realized that the Queen wanted to use her to compete for Bai Jinjin's favor. Her face turned ashen and she secretly clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh.

What kind of magic does Bai Jinjin have? She is so loved by her father that even in her current life, she needs to imitate her to get good things.

Bai Lingling's eyes were cold, but she had to obey the Queen's orders.

The maids brought Bai Lingling to the queen.

The queen frowned as she looked at Bai Lingling's beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows in front of her. It seemed that she had found the wrong person.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The queen was caught off guard and had no choice but to go ahead with it when she saw Bai Lingling in front of her.

Bai Juncheng strode into the hall. When he heard that the queen had just returned to the palace, he couldn't wait to summon Bai Lingling into her bedroom.

The Queen hurried forward to greet Bai Juncheng as he entered, and asked, "Your Majesty, why didn't you ask the eunuch to inform me so I could prepare lunch in advance?"

Bai Juncheng ignored the queen and kept his eyes on Bai Lingling behind him. Just when the queen thought it had worked.

Bai Juncheng sneered.

“It’s so ugly.”

Bai Lingling's smiling expression froze and she slowly lowered her head.

Bai Juncheng was heard mockingly saying to the Queen, "You two are really trying to draw a tiger but ended up drawing a dog instead."

Bai Lingling's face, which had been trying to maintain a smile, suddenly drooped. The queen's face also looked unhappy. She didn't expect Bai Juncheng to not give her any face in front of the maid.

After saying this, Bai Juncheng walked away leisurely, with even a hint of happiness on his face. He finally completed the task assigned to him by my wife.

At the same time, Bai Yu, who was locked in the room, angrily threw everything on the floor. His eyes shone with a deep cold light, and he secretly thought about how to deal with Bai Jinjin.

When the third prince Bai Yan learned what happened when he was not around, he returned to the palace and went to the empress dowager's palace without stopping.

It happened that the Queen was there with Bai Lingling and Bai Yu paying their respects to the Queen Mother. The Third Prince told the Queen Mother everything that had happened today and accused Bai Juncheng of being partial to Bai Jinjin.

The second prince said that he would be scolded every time he gave a gift.

Bai Yan said that Bai Jinjin was a princess who was good at bewitching people, which caused Bai Juncheng to change and he almost killed Bai Lingling because Bai Jinjin ate lychees.

The Queen beside her said, "Concubine Ye has been acting arrogantly in the palace because the Emperor favors Bai Jinjin. If this continues, I'm afraid she will influence the Emperor and cause chaos in the court."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was already wavering, the Queen continued, "Yesterday, I took Lingling in because I saw her being looked down upon by the servants in the harem. But the Emperor showed no mercy to me because the clothes I found for Lingling looked too similar to Bai Jinjin's."

When Bai Lingling heard this, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and saw the Queen's secret admiring look at her.

The Queen Mother felt very sorry for Bai Yan, who grew up by her side. In addition, people in the palace were talking about what happened when Bai Juncheng went to the Queen's Palace yesterday.

The empress dowager was furious and slammed the table, then asked someone to call Bai Jinjin over.

Seeing this, Bai Yan excitedly volunteered to call Bai Jinjin.

When Bai Jinjin was playing with Concubine Ye again, she discovered that her adoptive mother had a generous personality and came from a family of generals.

So this cheap mother's casual approach to things was exactly what she wanted.

Bai Jinjin looked at her adopted mother and complained to Bai Juncheng that she didn't agree with her going on the autumn hunt.

That's right, when Bai Juncheng was explaining to her what the autumn hunt was, she asked if she could go, but was directly rejected.

Bai Jinjin was very upset because no matter how much she acted coquettishly, she was not allowed to go.

Concubine Ye was amused by Bai Jinjin's changing expressions and pinched her little face.

"How old are you? The autumn hunting ground is full of flying arrows. You should at least wait until you are of age before going."
