There was no sign on her face that she had finished cleaning it.
Then Baili Feiyue got on the carriage, and after shaking all the way, they finally arrived at the palace.
Outside the palace gate, there was a middle-aged, white-faced eunuch waiting.
They seemed to be in a friendly mood. "Miss Ling San, I am sent by Concubine Hui to wait for you. Please follow me."
"Thank you for your trouble." Baili Feiyue said lightly.
A place like the palace is not a place to be taken lightly.
The white-faced eunuch shook off the dust and smiled, "Miss Ling San is too polite."
In fact, they had been observing her quietly all the way. Since she was summoned into the palace, naturally they knew everything about her.
The Third Miss Ling had a cold personality and was aloof. She had never been well-known in the mansion before, and her fame was completely incomparable to that of other young ladies in the Ling mansion. Before she got into trouble five years ago, no one had even heard of her.
Such a person should be petty-minded, but looking at her current behavior, it is her first time in the palace, and her eyes do not show too much surprise or shock. Her expression has been calm, as if she is walking in an ordinary courtyard.
Even those noble ladies who were often fortunate enough to be summoned to the palace were not as calm and not nervous at all as her!
I've been leading the way for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen it.
No wonder she is valued by Concubine Hui and she specifically ordered them, the servants, to be respectful to her!
When they arrived at the destination, Baili Feiyue heard someone's voice before she saw anyone, "Is Jing'er here? Come on, Auntie, take a look!"
The person in front of him was not particularly beautiful, but the rare heroic spirit between her eyebrows gave her a special flavor of both strength and gentleness.
When he saw Baili Feiyue appear, he quickly came to her, without putting on airs, took her hand affectionately, and looked at her with a face full of heartache and affection.
"Greetings, Madam Hui."
Baili Feiyue did not call her aunt as Concubine Hui claimed.
This woman is one of the most favored concubines of the current emperor, she is in a high position and has great power, so calling her aunt is a bit too much. On the other hand, even for the sake of Ling Sheng's father, the face and enthusiasm given by this aunt is too much.
"You kid, we are from the same family, so why are you so distant? You deserve a beating."
Concubine Hui pretended to be angry and wanted to pat Baili Feiyue's hand, but Baili Feiyue dodged her.
"No, it's better to call me Imperial Concubine, so that people won't say I have no manners."
Concubine Hui was rejected twice, but she was not angry at all. She just said with some frustration, "It is almost impossible for me to go out in this palace. For so many years, I have not been able to go back to the mansion to see you. Alas, you are different from your other sisters. You never came out before, but now we finally have a chance to meet. If I say aunt, then you are aunt. This is in my palace. I will see who dares to say a word about you!"
People have come to this point, Baili Feiyue called out, "Auntie," in a neither friendly nor distant way.
"Hey! Be good~!"
As if she was very happy about the shout, Concubine Hui looked at Baili Feiyue quietly, and her voice was full of emotion as she said, "In the blink of an eye, you have grown so big. I saw you when you were just born. You were a small ball, cute and noisy. At that time, your father said he wanted to find a good family for you, and I smiled and said, such a good girl can't be given to others, so why not let me give her to you."
There is also this one?
Why has she never heard her mother say this?
By cheap she means...
The information he had obtained previously flashed through Baili Feiyue's mind. Concubine Hui had a son who was named King of Qi.
He looked at the aunt calmly.
This person obviously knew that she was "captured by bandits" five years ago.
Besides, she is a concubine's daughter whose mother's identity is unknown.
Does she mean to bring her and the King of Qi together?
Hehe, that’s quite interesting.
It's just a show.
With a shy expression on her face, "Aunt, what do you mean..."
Concubine Hui smiled and said, "You are still embarrassed. You are a grown-up girl now, and I will not beat around the bush with you. I like your personality at first sight. You are a perfect match for my Jue'er!"
Baili Feiyue opened her eyes wide as if in shock, "Aunt, you... do you know that I..."
"I know, I know, I know everything." Concubine Hui sighed, "Poor child, you encountered those damned bandits five years ago. You suffered so much. You must think this happened suddenly, but it's not. The Imperial Master once read Juer's fortune and said that Juer had a calamity in his life. And to resolve this calamity... you must marry... I only found out recently that your birth date and eight characters are exactly the same as the eight characters predicted by the Imperial Master."
Concubine Hui looked like she was very sorry for Baili Feiyue, "Jing'er, don't worry. When you get married, you will be Jue'er's concubine. He doesn't have a wife yet, so you are the only one! Even if he has a wife in the future, no one will dare to cross your head as long as I am here!"
Changing the subject, "Are you hungry? Come, pick out some of the best pastries."
Soon the table was filled with exquisite pastries.
"Eat, Jing'er, these are my favorite foods. I specially ordered them to be made for you today."
Looking at the pastry handed to her mouth, under the enthusiastic gaze of Concubine Hui, Baili Feiyue took a bite without any hesitation.
There are not many poisons that can take her down now.
As she guessed, there was no poison in the cake.
"Is it tasty?"
"tasty."
"Someone, come and prepare some more so Jing'er can take them back home to eat later."
For a moment, Baili Feiyue ate cakes quietly, and Concubine Hui looked at her with tenderness and love, and they seemed very happy.
"Mother, you're looking for me?"
A male voice suddenly sounded, and the person who came in was dressed in gorgeous clothes. Baili Feiyue took a look at his appearance and had only one thought: the people of the Changsun family, regardless of gender, were all very good-looking.
"Jue'er, come here quickly."
Prince Qi's grandson Jue looked at Baili Feiyue suspiciously. Concubine Hui had already introduced her, "This is your uncle's third daughter, your sister Jing'er."
"The one who was captured by bandits five years ago?"
"How can you talk like that!" Concubine Hui patted him and smiled at Baili Feiyue, "Jing'er, don't mind it. Jue'er is just such an annoyingly straightforward person. But, there are no twists and turns, it's easy to understand, right?"
Chang Sun Jue had no ill intentions and just greeted him as a good friend.
Baili Feiyue also nodded to him lightly.
"Mother, why did you call me here?"
"Of course I'm here to propose marriage to you, a troublesome person like you!"
"Propose a marriage?" Chang Sun Jue's eyes lit up, "Mother, you have to tell father that I want to marry Sister Ruolan..."
"Ahem!" Concubine Hui interrupted him and gave him a sidelong glance, "It's your sister Jing'er!"
Chang Sun Jue, who had not taken Ling Jing seriously, looked at her in disbelief after hearing this. He directly expressed his unwillingness, "Her? I don't want her! I will only marry one person in this life, and that person is Sister Ruolan!"
"Jue'er! What are you talking about! Jing'er's horoscope is the best match for you. I think she is a good girl. You..."
"No matter how good she is, I won't marry her!"
