In the morning of the second day, Xue Fu was pushed out of bed and sat up in his bed. As Xiang Er undressed her, he said, "Empress, today, the Emperor is inviting the fourth prince and crown prince of the Northern Kingdom. The imperial concubine must attend the banquet from the second rank and above."

"Do I have to go?" Xue Fu was not interested in this sort of thing. The Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom had nothing to do with her, and the Emperor wouldn't give her any face either. If she went now, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

"Why not?" Xiang Er did not understand, sized her up and said: "The other concubines are all thinking about going, this is a good opportunity to approach the Emperor, naturally, we cannot miss it." While speaking, she dragged Xue Fu and sat down in front of the copper mirror, and looked out the window at the weather: "The emperor is about to step down, and at that time, the emperor and the other nobles will move to the An Qing Palace, and maybe, the Empress will still be able to see Lord Bai."

"Oh." Xue Fu replied indifferently, he had a chance to meet his merciless father … Who said she wanted to see him? She would never want to see him again in her life! The most lamentable father and daughter in the world was her and Master Bai!

And Yue Ye, so what if she approached him? In the moment when he was surrounded by beautiful women, how could he still hope for him to take a glance at him? Would Yue Ye really fall in love with a girl? She couldn't believe it.

When he knew that he was a pawn sent by the Bai Clan, he didn't even have the time to hate him. How could he love him? Therefore, these days, she had never thought about her future life, much less expected to obtain that man's heart. She shouldn't have been bothered by that encounter three years ago. It would have only prevented her from carrying out her plan and shaken her resolve.

Holding the jade hairpin, Xue Fu stared blankly at the young but sad face in the copper mirror. Is this her? From what did the person in the mirror change his appearance? If this went on, she was afraid that she would grow old before she was old, just like her mother!

Just as he was concentrating, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Xue Fu put down the hairpin in his hand and looked at the person in the mirror. Just as she had expected, it was Bai Yuqi! The maidservant, who was holding the clothes in her hands, politely retreated to the door.

Bai Yuqi took the dress in the little servant girl's hand, walked to Xue Fu's side, and used a voice that was close to acting spoiled: "Second sister, can I change into a set of palace clothes with you? "Second sister knows that Yuqi hates light blue the most, and it just so happens that the Senior servant gave Yuqi this outfit." With that, he looked aggrieved at Xue Fu.

Xue Fu cast a glance at the purple-pink palace dress that Yun'er was preparing to put on for him, which was a color that Bai Yuqi liked. Presumably, she had already figured out the color of his palace uniform long ago. It was only a set of palace attire, so Xue Fu did not mind, and said indifferently: "If Third Sister likes it, then go and wear it, since I do not like purple."

She liked white, but it was a pity that the women in the palace rarely wore white, because white did not reveal a noble identity. Only she, as always, liked him. She suddenly recalled that man was infatuated with blood, maybe he had the same feelings as her! However, why did he only like the color of blood when there were so many colors?

Bai Yuqi happily thanked him, took the pink-purple dress from Yun-er's hands, and left. She looked as cheerful as if she had found some treasure. Xue Fu couldn't help but laugh when she saw the figure of her back disappearing in the bronze mirror. She was still a child, but she would be so happy just for a piece of clothing.

Xiang Er caressed the hairpin with his fingers and said in confusion, "Esteemed Empress Qi loves expensive accessories the most. It is strange that she would exchange the best Jade hairpin for the Empress's Jade hairpin."

Xue Fu only smiled slightly, not caring at all. "Yuqi has taken a fancy to my skirt, so she has to bear to have a good hairpin from me." Accessories and dresses are compatible, designed by the palace tailors.

Xue Fu changed into the set of light blue palace clothes that she had ordered, and under Xiang Er's delicate hands, she coiled her black hair into a noble and elegant set, revealing her elegant and natural hair. The moment she turned around, Xiang Er couldn't help but be captivated by her entire body full of elegance. Xue Fu saw that the two girls were stunned, and panicked. He sized them up and asked: "How is it?"

"So beautiful …" Xiang Er nodded blankly, his gaze never leaving Xue Fu's body for a moment. The long skirt of light blue palace painting hibiscus to draw back the waist to shake the sleeves, soft and elegant, zigzag to the ground, just like a fresh blooming flower.

The pink pearls scattered at the waist are smooth and plump, not worth a dime. At the hem of the dress, they are more likely to fly than the Winged Double Flying Butterfly. As she smiled sweetly, her black eyes glowed with a jade-like luster. Her eyes were as clear as a stream, untainted by the dirt of the world, and her long eyelashes were slightly raised like a fan. Against the light and elegant Bewitching Butterfly sleeve, her ten fingers were as long as jade. Her red lips that didn't touch the pearl had a sparkling color, a pair of amber earrings by her ear. The earrings were light and graceful, and any casual breeze would be able to cause her to dance in the air.

No matter if it was the workmanship or the materials, they were all things that Xue Fu had never seen in the past seventeen years. Standing in front of the bronze mirror, she couldn't help but think that the things in the palace were indeed extravagant and exaggerated.

"Esteemed Empress, we should head to the An Qing Palace. If we're late, I'm afraid the emperor won't be happy." Yun'er reminded, her face clearly showing that her heart was no longer in Yan's. Her anxious eyes looked at Xue Fu's beautiful clothes and then looked at the scenery outside the window, as if she was about to collapse from being unable to continue staying in the house.

Xue Fu followed the girls towards An Qing Palace. Along the way, they walked to the pavilions. However, she was no longer in the mood to admire the scenery. As she passed by the Ning Garden, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Xue Fu was frightened, and after being astounded for a moment, he lowered his head and called out, "Father …" Her voice was flat and calm, as if the man standing in front of her was not her father, but an outsider even stranger than a stranger.

Prime Minister Bai bent his knees, bowing to Xue Fu. "Bai Chang'e greets Empress." Her tone was the same as Xue Fu, as calm as water. The body that fell to the ground was a bit old and depressed, but it was still as hard as a cow.

Xue Fu instinctively took a small step back and could not help but burst out laughing. He said self-deprecatingly, "Since father is so unwilling to accept the gift, let's tie the knot. Xue Fei … This title was like a shackle that locked down her entire life. It locked down her dignity, her everything. All of this was given to her by this man before her!

Not only had he pushed her into the abyss of wars, he had also erased her little dream. It was he who had made her understand. Back then, the elegant youth under the Pear Blossom Tree had become a bloodthirsty maniac who killed people without batting an eyelid. He had allowed her to see the truth. It was a truth that she did not want!

Sometimes, liking a person is not something one must have. It can be beautifully hidden in the bottom of one's heart, even if it never opens! However, Master Bai crushed the unripe love deep in her heart.

Master Bai didn't seem to be unfamiliar with her. He stood up from his seat and looked at her attire with a mocking smile, "Seems like you're living quite comfortably. No wonder you took my words for naught."

Xue Fu slightly turned his body, and threw his hands towards Xiang Er and Yun Er, who tactfully retreated. Her back was still facing Master Bai as she said indifferently, "Do you think that your father thinks that his daughter is well off just because of this luxurious outfit? The Emperor's harem has three thousand beauties, and when it comes to appreciating beauties, how could it be possible for it to take another look at its daughter's mediocre appearance? "

"You mean Yue Ye hasn't turned over your first card?" Master Bai's face darkened as he stared at her.

Xue Fu slightly nodded, his gaze passing through a group of pavilions and landing on the distant horizon. This was exactly what she wanted. If the Yue Ye Emperor didn't turn over her trump card in this lifetime, then she would have a reason to avoid carrying out her own obligations. Yue Ye originally had no enmity with her, and in her heart, she had a strange feeling about him, so she naturally couldn't do anything to him.

"Useless thing!" Prime Minister Bai growled in anger, staring at her in disappointment. If Xue Fu did not take the title of concubine, he would have already slapped his face out of anger.

Xue Fu suddenly turned towards him and stared at him as he lowered his voice with all his might: "If you think Bai Yuqi is stronger than your daughter, you can ask her to help you, but there is no difference between her and your daughter, the Emperor did not even bat an eye at her. Father, you should understand the reason for this. Yue Ye is no fool, you can't just carelessly pinch him … "

"Shut up!" Master Bai looked at Xue Fu flustered and exasperated, then turned to Xue Fu and scolded him in a low voice: "Do you want everyone to know what I told you to do? In short, you must work hard to get Yue Ye's favor, and complete the mission as soon as possible! "

"Daughter knows." Xue Fu coldly replied, and looked at him with eyes full of resentment. Like a colorful cloud, a light blue figure floated past him without a sound, as if ashamed to have flown far away, and finally disappeared at the end of the flower garden.

The Anqing Palace was located in the center of the palace. It had a circular colonnade, and under the observation post was a spitting hornhead with a green trim of yellow glazed tiles. The two pillars were connected by a carved dragon, which was a perfect combination of practicality and decoration, increasing the imperial spirit of the palace.

When Xue Fu arrived at An Qing Palace, Yue Ye had already taken her seat on the throne. Standing in the middle of the hall, Xue Fu saluted and greeted Yue Ye. That gaze was like two steel knives that glowed with a silver light, staring straight at her body.

Xue Fu could not help but feel a chill in his heart, as if he was afraid that this burning gaze would burn him into ashes in the next moment. That hatred didn't originate from the usually cold and heartless Yue Ye, but from her, Imperial Concubine Yu, by Yue Ye's side.

Imperial Concubine Yu was dressed in an orange border palace dress with silver threads embroidered with blossoming plum blossoms. From the hem of her dress to her waist, there was an emerald jade pendant tied around her waist, giving off a feeling of elegance. Her ink-like black hair was bound together with a white jade hairpin to form a complicated and complicated hairstyle. Her charming and enchanting big eyes shone brilliantly as they danced around her.

Although the jade hairpin and the palace set were both beautiful, compared to the jade hairpin that Xue Fu had, she was slightly inferior. Imperial Concubine Yu wasn't the only one looking at her. That concubine who was born to be a competitive type of concubine was looking at her with shock and suspicion, as if she was a monster.

Xue Fu's scalp went numb from their stares, and in a flash, he caught a glimpse of the Evil Sigh in Bai Yuqi's eyes. Her heart sank. She finally understood why Bai Yuqi wanted to change clothes with her.
