Yun-er hadn't expected her to ask such a question. The sudden tension made her heart beat rapidly. She felt ashamed and her forehead oozed with sweat. She lowered her head even lower and sobbed, "This servant's mother is sick, but this servant can't go to her mother's bed to be filial, so I couldn't help but be distracted. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Xue Fu looked down at her from above, that gaze seemed to see through her completely, and after a long while he opened his mouth and said: "What are you worrying about, family members? When everyone has relatives, it's rare for you to have this kind of filial piety. I'll allow you five days of leave to visit your family. "

Everyone had their own Jiao family, that's right! Her family was in an extremely dangerous situation, so how could she not be worried? Her mother was under her father's control, and her sister was under Yue Ye's control. From then on, when would she be able to live a happy life at home? Such a small wish, something easily obtainable by ordinary people, to her body was forever like the stars in the sky. It could be seen every night, but it was too far away to be touched.

Yun'er looked up at Xue Fu in shock, the tears in the corner of her eyes were sparkling, like two golden beads of light. She had never expected that Xue Fu would casually allow her to take five days of leave, so she was both shocked and happy in her heart. Because, although the imperial concubine was noble, she didn't have the right to allow the servant girl a holiday. Xue Fu's promise was just empty talk.

Xue Fu understood her thoughts, smiled lightly, and said: "Go find the steward, Senior Servant Yun; everything will be decided by you." With that, he took the jade hairpin that made yufei's eyes go red and placed it in her hands: "You can take this hairpin and buy some nutrition for your mother. Also, take the thousand year old ginseng from my palace.

The astonishment on Yun-er's face deepened as her fingers gripped the priceless jade hairpin. He stared at her for a long moment, as if seeing her for the first time.

Xue Fu didn't wait for her response. With a turn of her jade-like foot, she strode into the Yun He Palace. The moment he turned around, the smile on his face instantly turned into a mocking smile. It was no longer the warm and gentle smile that could be seen from the bottom of his heart. The pale-blue palace dress walked up and down the bluestone staircase, beautiful and proud!

Although the status of a servant was low, she could be considered light or heavy in this mixed harem. It was always good to have a smooth path in the future and cause disturbance to the people's hearts. Ever since he had joined Asgard, Xue Fu had already noticed Yun'er's abnormality. Every single palace's servants were allocated by the yufei Empress herself, so it was very clear that Yun'er was one of the eyes that the yufei Empress had sent to her side.

If not for that, when Bai Yuqi had changed clothes with her this morning, she would not have been so distracted, and the Empress would not have known so quickly that evening dress was a scheme that Bai Yuqi had plotted single-handedly. Yun-er was a timid and talkative girl, it wasn't difficult for her to quietly buy her off.

Xue Fu passed through an old pear tree in the courtyard. Just as he was about to enter the house, he suddenly heard Bai Yuqi's soft call. She subconsciously stopped and turned around to see Bai Yuqi smiling at her nervously. The smile was not the least bit arrogant or disdainful, but it was actually very polite. Xue Fu naturally understood what this smile meant. He looked at her indifferently and said: "I presume that little sister wants to return that Jade hairpin, right? "Unfortunately, just now, elder sister was so happy that she gave it to a servant."

She had expected that Bai Yuqi would ask her for the hairpin, but she didn't hesitate to give it to Yun'er. Once Bai Yuqi heard that such a precious object was given to a servant, he immediately became shocked and his eyes widened. His expression instantly changed as he said in shock: "What did you say? You gave my hairpin to the servants? "

Xue Fu did not place her anger in his heart, and continued to speak in an indifferent tone: "Since little sister gave me Bai Xue Fu, then I will take care of it, and give it to whoever you want, why not?" Finished speaking, she turned around and said to Xiang Er: "I'm tired, help me put a bucket of hot water on a bath."

"Yes, Empress." Xiang Er strode into the room to make the arrangements. Xue Fu followed behind her and stopped after a few steps, turned around and coldly stared at the enraged Bai Yuqi with an expression as cold as ice. "Bai Yuqi, I, Bai Xue Fu, will only tolerate you this once, and there won't be a next time."

Although Bai Yuqi did not care about the relationship between sisters, she was willing to forgive Bai Yuqi for the fact that she was his own younger sister, and did not care about the things that happened in front of her. A person's tolerance is limited, they don't have to endure when it's unbearable, and Bai Yuqi wasn't worth it for her to endure it a second time.

The gorgeous palace dress flashed between the latticed doors and disappeared from sight. Bai Yuqi spat at the closed door before angrily turning around to walk in the direction of the Western Palace.

Ever since she was young, her mother had taught her many ways to survive. In love, there was no brotherly love nor was there the concept of blood being thicker than water. Whoever could smile until the end would be the winner. She had to win!

"Empress, it's just a hairpin. When the Empress has gained power, do you want more?" Xiao Cui saw that Bai Yuqi was so angry that he wanted to cry on the wooden chair, so she walked behind her like she was trying to curry favor with him, and started kneading her shoulders for her with her little hands. That pair of soft, boneless little hands on the other hand, made Bai Yuqi really like it when he pinched her bones.

"What do you know? That's what my mother gave me! " No matter how happy she was, she wouldn't be able to suppress Bai Yuqi's grievance. Bai Yuqi glared at her angrily, her tender lips slightly opening as she bit down hard on her lower lip. The pair of shears and dark eyes lost their usual liveliness as they angrily glared at the East Palace opposite the gate.

The sandalwood fragrance from the round table ignited just right, and a wisp of the delicate fragrance filled every corner of the room, falling into Bai Yuqi's breath as well. This fragrance is just right for this early spring climate. However, Bai Yuqi was still resentful because of a hairpin. No matter how fragrant the sandalwood was, it was difficult to conceal the hatred in her heart.

In her anger, even when she saw what she loved the most, she would still find it annoying. In front of the window was the evergreen tree that she had been raising ever since she entered the Palace of Yunhe. Before any new leaves could grow out, she raised her hand and pulled them out. The green branches along with the flower pot landed on the red carpet with the embroidered peony pattern, dirtying the peonies on the ground.

The maidservants were frightened by her rage, and they cowered before retreating, retreating without a sound.

Because of Liu Li's accompanying for the past few days, Xue Fu felt that his days were not as boring as they seemed, but his heart still felt empty. It was unclear if it was because of him or Bai Yining, but in short, his heart was empty.

It was already the countless times that Jing grand consort had seen her sigh softly under a pear tree. She was so sad at such a young age, and sometimes, Jing grand consort couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy for her. And it was the same today as well. Xue Fu had already stood under the pear tree in the same posture for a long time without even realizing that his hair had been dyed with white flowers.

That quiet expression seemed ethereal and dreamy in the sea of flowers, revealing a hint of melancholy in her eyes that truly made one's heart ache. grand consort Jing patted Cheng mama's hands and indicated for her to wake Xue Fu up. Cheng mama nodded, immediately went behind Xue Fu, and respectfully called out, "Esteemed Snow, it's about time for the wind to blow. Go back inside your room and rest."

Xue Fu regained her senses, lowered her head and looked at the empty bamboo basket in her hand, after she finished her lunch, she picked up the basket and planned to pick some pear blossoms to dry. Two hours had passed, but the bamboo basket was still completely empty. If he let Liu Li know, she would definitely laugh at who he was. Xue Fu laughed bitterly in his heart, then nodded and walked inside the house.

The Sea Hall in the courtyard was still as red as ever, the few Cai Die who had been infatuated with the place had been busy from morning to night, adding to the beauty of the place. Wherever the flowers moved, grand consort Jing was holding a pair of scissors and leisurely pruning them. Seeing Xue Fu coming in, the basket was empty. She smiled and teased: "Little girl Xue, it seems like you have been busy this afternoon for nothing."

Xue Fu looked down at the bamboo basket in her hand and uneasily smiled. She really did not think that she would be so lazy and leave the world so easily. After laughing, he said, "Please forgive me, grand consort. Xue Fu will definitely gather enough tomorrow to make up for it."

There's no need for that. If the little girl can tell me why I'm in such a hurry, then it would be even better." Quiet And Steadfast cast a sidelong glance at her before lowering his head to continue pruning the flowers. In the past two days, perhaps it was due to her elated mood and the Pear Blossom Tea, the Imperial Concubine's complexion seemed much better. "Even the face that had been so pale that it didn't match with Hai Tang Hua's was tinged with blood.

Especially under the light of the golden setting sun, the halo that appeared on his face added to his healthy complexion.

Xue Fu was startled by what she had said. He lowered his eyes and tried to avoid her sight that he did not know when he would turn back to him. Ever since she had entered the palace, she had been infatuated with absent-mindedness. She was very clear about her own reasons, but she could not tell grand consort. If she were to reveal her purpose of going to the palace, grand consort would most likely take her life immediately. Normally, although grand consort's attitude towards Yue Ye was terrible, everyone could feel that her feelings towards her were sincere.

That feeling was like a stream caught in the mountains, flowing in silence. It was very hard for others to find it, but it was very real. It was so clear that the bottom had been revealed, and it flowed endlessly. The same goes for the love that the grand consort had for the Yue Ye Emperor. In order for him to realize his mistake, she was willing to disguise her true feelings. It was a pity that she couldn't do as she wished. Yue Ye didn't change her mind, and even started to become fiercer, more vicious and heartless.

grand consort didn't hear a reply for a long time. She looked up again, the scissors in her hand stopped cutting down. Helplessly sighing, he continued, "As a woman of the empress, he should have learned to get used to being lonely. Yue Ye has always been filled with loathing towards women of the imperial harem since childhood, perhaps because of this reason, he has never fallen in love with any consort. You must understand him."

Xue Fu was slightly surprised, he sized up grand consort Jing and asked curiously, "Why do you hate women from the harem so much?" She had never heard anyone mention Yue Ye's past, not even a few words.

It's a long story." Grand Concubine Jing placed the scissors in Senior Servant Cheng's hand and walked out from the redness. She gracefully sat down on a stone chair and said with a bitter smile, "It's nothing more than the harem fighting for a favor. Yue Ye's birth mother was framed and thrown into the cold palace, dying in the cold palace.
