The second day.
Su Jingyao woke up slowly, but her eyes were not fully opened yet.
Perhaps having heard Su Jingyao's movements, Miaoyun came to her bedside in an instant, her voice full of 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, and there's no need for me to follow him. So I've sought His Majesty's advice and am here 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'm not used to you being away."
Su Jingyao raised the corner of her mouth, reached out and held Miaoyun's hand, and stood up with her help.
"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 allow the masters to bring too many palace maids. Everything is kept simple. There are 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. Master, would you like to take a walk in the courtyard? This house has a very Jiangnan style."
"Okay, let's go for a walk."
Su Jingyao readily agreed, and stood up with Miaoyun's help. 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 could 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 it. The newcomer isn't just getting a title, she's 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 was on good terms with the Queen this month, but yesterday His Majesty came to warn her not to mention anything related to this month in front of the Queen. She didn't understand why, but had no choice but 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 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 only raised her chin slightly and said, "This is the information I received."
At this moment, a maid came over carefully carrying a clothes tray and taking cautious steps.
"I pay my respects to Empress Bai Fei and Empress Shu Rong." 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 am sending it to the Empress for her to try on."
The maid replied respectfully, her head slightly lowered, her hands tightly gripping 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 took a few steps back. Then, with a look of panic on her face, she said, "Madam Shurong, His Majesty has ordered that the phoenix robe be shown to the Empress first."
“Bold!”
Mo Zhirou's face instantly turned dissatisfied when she was rejected by a maid.
"She's a woman who hasn't even entered the palace yet. Even if His Majesty wants to make her the Empress, she's not a concubine in the palace until the imperial decree is issued. I'm just checking on the future Empress. Why are you making such a fuss, maid?"
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 trying to use His Majesty to pressure me?!" Mo Zhirou snorted coldly, "It's been so long 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 mocked her, insulted her, and instigated the high-ranking concubines to bully her.
Isn't it just because she relies on the imperial concubine's support? No one except the imperial concubine 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 relying on His Majesty's favor. Aren't you afraid that everything will be in vain?"
