The second day.
Su Jingyao woke up slowly, but her eyes were not fully opened yet.
Perhaps because she heard Su Jingyao's movements, Miaoyun came to her bedside in an instant, and her voice was filled with deep attachment, "Master."
"Miaoyun? Why are you here?" Su Jingyao slowly opened her eyes with a hint of surprise in her eyes. Her voice was still a little hoarse, and she raised her body slightly.
"Master, the eldest prince is out on an inspection tour with His Majesty, so there is no need for me to follow him. So I sought His Majesty's advice and came to serve you."
Miaoyun's eyes sparkled as she spoke while reaching out to support Su Jingyao.
"Okay, when I return to the palace, you and Miaoxia should come and serve me. I am not used to your absence."
Su Jingyao raised the corner of her mouth, reached out and held Miaoyun's hand, and stood up with the help of her.
"The servants and the eldest prince have been living in Kunning Palace. As long as you return to the palace, you and the eldest prince will be able to serve you."
Miaoyun nodded vigorously, with tears of excitement in her eyes.
"Are you the only one who came on His Majesty's southern tour this time?" Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly and looked at Miaoyun.
"Yes, this time His Majesty did not let the masters bring too many palace maids. Everything was kept simple. There were only servants around the eldest prince." Miaoyun replied with her head slightly lowered.
"Thank you for your hard work over the past few years." Su Jingyao showed a trace of sadness in her eyes and sighed softly.
Miaoyun quickly smiled and said, "Master, it's not hard. It is my blessing to have Meng take care of the eldest prince."
"The weather is nice today, would you like to take a walk in the courtyard? This house has the characteristics of Jiangnan."
"Okay, let's go for a walk."
Su Jingyao readily agreed, and stood up with the help of Miaoyun. The two of them slowly walked towards the back garden of the house.
At this time in the back garden.
Mo Zhirou was wearing a gorgeous purple dress and walking gracefully, with Bai Yingyue in a plain dress beside her.
"I heard that His Majesty brought a woman back, and I also heard that Concubine Bai gets along well with her. I wonder if you can give me a hint. Is there going to be a new person in our palace? I wonder what title she will get?"
Mo Zhirou tilted her head slightly, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry on her face. She stared at Bai Yingyue with her beautiful eyes, and her pace unconsciously slowed down.
Bai Yingyue had a calm expression and a calm tone.
"Mo Shurong is overthinking. The newcomer is not given any title, but the future queen."
She looked straight ahead, without much expression on her face.
Although he was answering Mo Zhirou's question, he was thinking about His Majesty's words in his heart.
She and the Queen were on good terms this month, but yesterday His Majesty came to warn her that she was not allowed to mention anything related to this month in front of the Queen. She didn't understand why, but had to do as he asked.
When Mo Zhirou heard that the newcomer was directly named queen, her face changed drastically and she stopped abruptly.
She quickly turned her head to look at Bai Yingyue, full of astonishment and disbelief, "How is this possible?" Her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
Your Majesty was so infatuated with the late Queen. The Imperial Concubine gave birth to the third prince and managed the harem for five years, but Your Majesty still refused to make the Imperial Concubine the Queen. Now, a newcomer in Jiangzhou is directly named Queen after entering the palace?
Bai Yingyue's expression remained unchanged, she just raised her chin slightly, "This is the news I received."
At this moment, a maid walked over carefully carrying a clothes tray with small and cautious steps.
"I pay my respects to Empress Bai Fei and Empress Shurong." The maid bent her legs and performed a standard salute.
"Get up." Bai Yingyue raised her hand slightly with a calm expression.
Mo Zhirou's eyes fell on the clothes tray, and when she saw the exquisite handkerchief with a phoenix pattern covering it, her face suddenly froze.
He asked, “What is this?”
"Empress Shurong, this is the phoenix robe that His Majesty prepared for the Empress. I will bring it to the Empress for her to try on."
The maid replied respectfully, her head slightly lowered and her hands tightly grasping the edge of the clothes tray.
Mo Zhirou didn't expect that His Majesty had even prepared the phoenix robe, and subconsciously reached out to lift the veil.
The maid was startled for a moment, and quickly stepped back a few steps, then said with a look of panic on her face: "Madam Shurong, His Majesty has ordered that the phoenix robe should be shown to the Empress first."
“Bold!”
Mo Zhirou's face instantly turned dissatisfied when she was rejected by a maid.
"She is a woman who has not yet entered the palace. Even if His Majesty wants to make her the queen, she is not a queen in the palace until the imperial decree is issued. I am just checking for the future queen. Why are you making a fuss over nothing?"
She pointed at the maid and scolded her.
Faced with the empress's anger, the maid immediately knelt down with a plop.
"Please forgive me, Madam Shurong, but this phoenix robe cannot be touched by anyone. If His Majesty knew about it, he would definitely blame me."
"Oh, you, a servant girl, are you still using His Majesty to pressure me?!" Mo Zhirou snorted coldly, "It's been a long time since His Majesty cared about the affairs of the harem. How could he care about a piece of clothing?"
Bai Yingyue really couldn't stand it. When she first entered the palace with a very low status, it was Mo Zhirou who openly mocked her, insulted her, and instigated the higher-ranking concubines to bully her.
Isn't it because she relies on the imperial concubine's support? Apart from the imperial concubine, no one has the right to punish the palace concubine.
Because His Majesty does not care about the affairs of the harem, and the Queen Mother turns a blind eye to them, as long as things don't get out of hand, the harem is ruled by the Imperial Concubine.
"Mo Shurong, since this maid has received orders from His Majesty, why do you have to make things difficult for her?" Bai Yingyue frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
"Princess Bai, a new queen who is extremely favored by His Majesty will soon enter the harem. You only got your position as a concubine by His Majesty's favor. Aren't you afraid that everything will go to waste?"
