Xue Fu soullessly followed Senior Servant Liu to yufei's palace to receive his rewards, then he went to Yun He Palace at the westernmost area of the harem. Yun He Palace was split into East and West Palace, East Palace was given to Xue Fu, and West Palace was given to Bai Yuqi.

Once they entered the courtyard, Bai Yuqi pointed at Senior Servant Liu and cursed loudly, "I am at least an official second grade imperial concubine personally conferred by the emperor. Yet you, old thing, want me to live in such a secluded courtyard, and even coexist with others?"

Senior Servant Liu's head drooped down at her scolding, but she still said innocently, "Imperial Concubine Qi, please calm your anger." Senior Servant Liu's head drooped down at her scolding, but she said innocently, "Imperial Concubine Qi, please calm your anger.

Xue Fu didn't mind as it was fine to live in a side courtyard. She naturally didn't know what the Emperor's intentions were for this arrangement. Why did he directly confer them as consort but only gave them this single courtyard that hadn't been lived in for a long time?

After Senior Servant Liu left, two maids came in and respectfully knelt by the door, "Empress, this servant, Xiang Er Yun'er, pays her respects to the Empress. Eunuch Li has an order, these two servants will be serving the Empress at the Eastern Palace of the Cloud Palace from now on."

"Get up." Xue Fu indifferently swept a glance over them. Seeing that they were still young, his clear eyes and white teeth made them feel relaxed. Thus, he casually picked up two pieces of jade and handed them over to them.

The first lady was right. The harem was like a battlefield. If one was not careful, they would be smashed to smithereens. At all times, he needed to be careful and take care of the people around him. In the future, it would definitely be good for him.

Xiang Er took the jade pendant, and happily kowtowed to express her gratitude. To them, Feng Lu, who had stayed in the palace for two years, couldn't even compare to this piece of good jade. To Xue Fu, these were merely meaningless objects. The emperor had given her golden steps, a white jade hairpin, a jade bracelet or two each. This was already considered quite a bit.

"Your Highness, would you like to rest first, or take a bath and change clothes? This servant will prepare it for the Empress. " After receiving rewards, Xiang Er's mouth became even sweeter. Xue Fu did not think much, and replied: "First, prepare a hot water bath for me."

Having busied herself for most of the day, she was truly tired. All she wanted was to wash her body properly and then sleep. Even though Xiang Er and Yun'er were very considerate, she, who was used to being served by Liu Li since she was young, still felt a little uncomfortable. He suddenly thought of Liu Li. When she left, he told her to take good care of Bai Yi and his suspicions. He didn't know what had happened to them.

Xiang Er and Yun'er had already prepared the hot water, but just as Xue Fu was about to undress, a young palace maid suddenly walked in. She knelt down to pay her respects through the screen and said, "This servant pays her respects to esteemed imperial concubine. The emperor has an order for the esteemed empress to head to the Hall of Clear and Harmony immediately."

Xue Fu was startled, both of his hands were frozen in mid air, and then he replied: "Understood." Xiang Er opened the screen for her and let her out. "I didn't expect that Your Majesty would invite the Empress so soon. It must be because Your Majesty has a particularly good impression of the Empress. After this servant gives the Empress some makeup, she'll definitely be a hundred times prettier, and the Emperor will definitely be very happy as well."

Dragon Heart was overjoyed? Xue Fu laughed bitterly in his heart, thinking back to that cold and detached face he had seen this morning, did he even suspect that there was someone in this world that could make him, Long Xin, happy? The sudden admission of the Emperor caused her heart to be thrown into disarray. She did not think that it would be like what the maids said. The Emperor had only accepted her because he liked her.

Regardless of the reason, it was obvious after seeing it. Xue Fu followed the servant girl out of Yun He Palace without putting on any makeup, passed through countless of corridors, passed through a garden, walked for a long time and finally arrived at the Clear Peace Hall that the servant girl mentioned before. It was also the palace where the emperor rested when he was free.

The little servant girl told her to stand at the door of Qing He's shop, and a young eunuch immediately went to report to her. After circling around, he heard a shrill voice in Xue Fu's ears, it was the emperor's voice calling for her to enter the palace!

Staring at the magnificent red walls and golden tiles, at the end of the cornice, two eagles spreading their wings raised their wings high, preparing to soar to the sky. This aura was quite similar to the Yue Ye Emperor. The golden glazed roof tiles caused Xue Fu to feel pain in his eyes as he lowered his head and walked towards Qing He Hall.

She remembered Senior Servant Liu's words: You're not allowed to get up or raise your head without the emperor's permission. Her knees bent, and her snow-white skirt bloomed like a white lotus on a red carpet embroidered with peonies. Her voice was soft and calm, "Xue Fu greets the Emperor, the Emperor is blessed!"

Kneeling on the ground, she saw soft shoes embroidered with the pattern of nine dragons, dark red robes. Suddenly, he understood something. The Emperor liked red, the kind that was as deep as blood! Few men like it. But it was very suitable for him. This red color was as domineering as his personality. Only he was worthy of this color!

Something caught her jaw, and the pain shot through her, forcing her to look at him. Xue Fu was shocked, the thing that was holding her lower jaw was his steel-like fingers, without any hint of warmth, just like his expression.

His gaze was clearly filled with rage, but she didn't know where it came from. From the moment he was conferred the title, he had never given anyone any face. Did he think that he was being toyed with? Perhaps, this was the reason for his anger!

His choice was not something he loved. Everyone had been branded with a bad brand. That brand was like a sneering face facing him, waiting for him to give a satisfactory explanation.

"Do you know that This Emperor has never lacked beauties?" Every time Yue Ye spit out a word, the strength in her hands became a little stronger, as her fingers almost cut her creamy skin.

Xue Fu resisted the urge to cry and spat out a few words, "Xue Fu knows …" The man in front of her had indeed changed. He had become outrageous. She did not want to think about him under the Pear Blossom Tree, but these two figures kept overlapping with each other in her mind. It was difficult for her to not want to think about them.

"Since you know, why did you still come?" Yue Ye flung her arm, causing Xue Fu to fall to the side. He placed his hands on the ground, a look of astonishment on his face. Although this swing was very powerful, it wasn't enough to push her down. It was just that she had to pretend to be an ordinary girl in order to make him relax his wariness towards her.

Her master had once told her that a girl shouldn't casually reveal her skills, as it would be easy for her to ruin many things. She remembered it, so she had never shown it to anyone except Miaofeng's people.

She recovered her calmness, quietly climbed up from the ground and kneeled back down, and said calmly: "This is Xue Fu's life." That's right, this was her fate. From the moment she was born, she was destined to become a pawn of the Bai Clan that could soar in the heavens!

Her calmness only further angered Yue Ye, and it was as if a flame was suddenly ignited in her chest, growing brighter and brighter. He didn't expect that the woman in front of him would be so arrogant. Her indifference had successfully provoked his self-esteem!

Her right hand struck again, this time not to squeeze her jaw, but to wrap around her slender waist. Forcefully pressing forward, his small face that was as white as cream came close at hand. He could even smell the faint fragrance of the pear blossoms on her body. An unusual emotion quietly swept across his heart. The pear blossoms …

An image vaguely appeared in his mind. Pear blossoms that covered the mountains and the fields. A figure in snow-white clothes was floating deep within the sea of flowers. He could not see her face clearly. He had never been able to see it clearly. Now that he thought about it, why had he not taken off her veil and carved her appearance into his mind?

It was a girl he had met by chance when he was young and reckless. He remembered nothing but the white dress. Back then when he had allowed her to live her entire life, she had turned around and floated away. Her back was as clear and cold as snow!

Fortunately, she had saved him that time, allowing him to return to the Ning City and live to this day. When he returned to the Ning City that year, his heart was only for power, and he had completely forgotten about her. When the peaceful year of the country finally remembered her, two years later, it was already autumn. He realized with a start that he no longer had the face to appear before her.

This was the thorn in his heart. Just swallowing a bit of food would cause him to feel a dull pain. If he met her again one day, he would definitely apologize to her and forget about her … It was his fault!

What he did not understand was why he suddenly remembered that girl from his memories. Was it because the woman before him was wearing a white robe, and her body was also emitting the faint fragrance of pear blossoms?

Xue Fu was forced to focus her attention on the cold man in front of her. Although she was like him, she could clearly see from his moving eyes that there was something different about him. Those eyes were so close to warmth that she almost wondered if she had seen wrongly. However, she knew very well that those eyes were not warm for her, but looked through her eyes into another world.

He was clearly looking at her, but his gaze was shamed and scattered. Shamed to the point of losing his focus, ashamed to the point of being as silly as a fool! Xue Fu was only an ordinary girl, so she naturally wouldn't understand his current thoughts. Just waiting for him to let her go. If he had a little conscience, then he should let her go.

She didn't think that Yue Ye would recall this moment, never having remembered it before. Leaving aside the fact that they had coincidentally met three years ago, from start to finish, she had covered her face with a light veil. In these three years, she had already transformed from the naive and innocent Bai Xue Fu into the meticulous way she was today, attempting to assassinate his woman. In these three years, she had grown taller and more mature. She had already reached the age of serving the Son of Heaven.

She just stared at him for a long time, as if she wanted to see through his entire face. After a long time, she opened her mouth and spoke with a soft voice, "Your majesty, who are you looking for? Xue Fu is just a Bai Xue Fu, he's not one of them. "

Yue Ye came back to her senses, looking lifeless and ashamed. It was almost from the gaps of his teeth that he spat out a voice, "We are looking for you, Bai Xue Fu, the Bai Xue Fu who tried to play some tricks in front of us!" There was a thick sense of ridicule in his voice. Naturally, he would not tell her who he was looking for. There was no need for her to know!

Xue Fu was startled, a trace of panic flashed through his heart. Did this man already find anything on her body? Had he already understood Prime Minister Bai's scheme? No, if he knew, given his bloodthirsty personality, he would have put her to death in the palace very early in the morning. Naturally, he wouldn't waste time talking to her like that. As he thought about it, Xue Fu's beating heart finally calmed down. He lowered his eyes and said: "Xue Fu doesn't dare."

"I hope that my beloved concubine really doesn't dare to." Yue Ye let go of her, and Xue Fu landed on the ground like a lotus flower with its waist bent. It had scared her out of her wits just now, but luckily he hadn't been thrown into disarray and let her see the truth.
