”Princess Yun knows medicine?”

”That's right, there was a concubine in the mansion who almost lost her life, and it was elder sister who saved her.”

When everyone saw the sincerity in Bai Tinglan's words, which didn't seem like a joke, they started to doubt her.

Bai Tinglan stopped talking and did not continue.

Then the Empress Mother sent word to invite them in.

Bai Zhiling lowered her eyes and paid her respects to the empress dowager.

”Get up. I'll have you all come here early in the morning to accompany this old woman.” It was a voice that sounded very gentle.

”What did the empress say? Being able to accompany the empress is chenqie's fortune. Chenqie is afraid the empress will find the empress annoying.”

The corner of her pure red dress flashed before her eyes. Looking at the golden phoenix spreading her wings on the dress, she knew that this person was the current Empress.

The empress dowager wasn't worried about the lack of people to please her. The hall immediately became lively. Bai Zhiling sat quietly amongst the crowd, waiting for the faked performance to end.

”Seventh Brother's wife is here?”

Baili Xing was the seventh in line. Bai Zhiling had to stand up when she heard this.

”This son greets royal grandmother.”

The empress dowager had long since heard of Bai Zhiling's reputation, so she only glanced at her indifferently. She asked a few irrelevant questions before shifting her gaze to Bai Tinglan.

Compared to Bai Zhiling, Bai Tinglan was gentle and proper, with a reputation of both talent and virtue that could be compared with Bai Zhiling's ”notoriety”.

”You really are a beautiful woman. No wonder Seventh Brother came begging to This Dowager.”

These words were like a slap to Bai Zhiling's face. Bai Zhiling was Baili Xing's main wife!

With the empress dowager's actions, who would put Bai Zhiling in their eyes?

There would always be an end to all this nonsense. Before Bai Zhiling had been dried off, there was finally someone from the palace.

The banquet was ready for Her Majesty to come.

The welcoming banquet was being held in the East German Palace, so the group of people headed there quickly.

The East German Palace was very large. It was able to hold more than five hundred people at once.

Bai Zhiling and Bai Tinglan were brought to sit beside Baili Xing.

”Prince Jing Ling has arrived …”

Bai Zhiling raised her head subconsciously. She had only taken a casual glance, but she didn't expect to be shocked the moment she saw the person who walked in.

She swore that in her two lifetimes, she had never seen such a good-looking man.

He had a head of black hair that was tied up in a golden jade crown. Under his smooth forehead was a pair of long, straight, sword-like eyebrows, and his slightly pursed lips were enough to make people's imaginations run wild. However, these eyes were nowhere near as dark as his own, as if they were filled with a vortex, making them unable to extricate themselves.

Previously, when he looked at Baili Xing, he felt that apart from the dregs, everything else about him was not bad. However, when he looked at Baili Moxun, he realized that this person was indeed incomparable!

Baili Moxun walked steadily and bowed before sitting down opposite Bai Zhiling at the seat of honor.

Bai Zhiling couldn't tell if it was an illusion or not, but she had the nagging feeling that he was looking at her from the start.

Aiyo, it made her heart tremble!

However, that was all. The more beautiful something was, the more it was forbidden to touch it. She understood this principle.

”You have been gone for so many years, and even mother's birthday is not free for you to come back. Today, I will seize this opportunity to give you a good punishment.”

”This subject has been feeling unwell for the past few years, and I haven't been able to return to pay respects to my mother. I deserve to be punished.”

The emperor, Baili Yao, looked at Baili Moxun with a hearty laugh as he raised his wine cup.

However, this excuse … It was too perfunctory.

With the way you walk... Can't you find a better excuse? Can't you see that the emperor's cup is about to shatter?

”Aiya, Baoyu, Baoyu, don't run around …”
