Chapter 141: Making Her Willing (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Bai Xianyu’s lips curled up slightly. “We’ll do it according to my size. When the time comes, you’ll only resent not making enough.”

4th month, 7th day, the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet.

The reason why Bai Xianyu asked Bai Mohuai for those shops was because she wanted to do business with the palace. There were many schemes in the imperial court, and the harem was also a place where sandpipers and clams fought.

Although Emperor Wu Xuan was young and did not look much older than her Eldest Brother, he had married early and had many children. Moreover, there had been new concubines entering the palace over the years.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy could you win a hundred battles.

If Third Brother asked around in the court, she could use her identity as a woman to go in and out of the harem. In the harem, the princes and princesses often came and went. The Empress Dowager still liked her on the surface. If she could build a good relationship with the concubines and consorts of the various palaces, it would not be a bad clue to investigate.

It could also lay the foundation for her Second Brother to become an imperial merchant in the future. It was best to not listen to rumors. In addition, the current Emperor Wu Xuan was very kind to the Bai Family. Perhaps she could grasp the opportunity in advance before the power of the Bai Family reached its peak.

Bai Xianyu’s thoughts were different from her brothers’.

She was someone who had been reborn. To her, no matter which prince was behind this, even if it was the future Crown Prince, she would never let him have the chance to plot against the General’s Manor again.

If the future Crown Prince had caused this, then… Bai Xianyu narrowed his almond-shaped eyes slightly. Then… she would change the crown prince.

In any case, Emperor Wu Xuan had ten princes.

There were still nine people alive in the 25th year of the Qian Era. The one who had died was the Fifth Prince. According to Xie Xingyun, he should be the least likely one.

At that time, General’s Manor was also close to the Fifth Prince. From the perspective of others, they would view them as allies.

There was no reason for the Fifth Prince to cut off his own arm.

As Bai Xianyu pondered, he arrived at the palace gate.

At the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet, the entire country was celebrating. The court officials brought their families into the palace.

During this period of time, Third Brother had been ordered to go south to Qinzhou to investigate cases, so he did not come with her.

Green Pearl put down the stool and helped Bai Xianyu down. A female voice quickly sounded from the other side.

“Little Yu!”

Bai Xianyu looked in that direction and saw Ji Shuang looking at her. She raised her handsome eyebrows. “Isn’t your third brother here?”

“No, he’s too busy to come.”

“Then let’s go in together.”

Ji Shuang jumped down from the carriage and walked to Bai Xianyu’s right. However, she was still a little more well-behaved in the palace. She was plain-faced and had only put on some lipstick.

Bai Xianyu only drew an eyebrow and applied some dark red lipstick. However, when the two of them stood together, they looked completely different.

At a glance, Bai Xianyu would make people feel stunned from the bottom of their hearts. It was not an exaggeration to say that adding all the beautiful words to her would not be too much. Upon closer inspection, her beautiful facial features would only make people even more shocked. Her gait was graceful and her figure swayed. Even her smile could hook people’s souls.

Ji Shuang, on the other hand, had put on some lipstick. Her usually cold face still did not have the tenderness of a young girl at all. She was like a bamboo tree, arrogant and unruly. Her every move was even more unrestrained than a man’s.

Although they were completely different, each of them shone in their own way. When the two of them walked over together, they still attracted a lot of attention.

As the two of them had come from prominent families, everyone surrounded them laughing and joking.

Li Changning sat impatiently in the front row and saw the two especially eye-catching people at a glance.

She narrowed her eyes slightly. “All you know is to show off.”

She had not found a chance to settle the score with Bai Xianyu for seducing her cousin last time. Now that she was in front of her, if she did not do anything, she would be letting down such a good opportunity.

Fortunately, she was prepared.

“Qiao’er!”

A maidservant hurriedly knelt down. “Your Highness, Qiao’er is here.”

“Bend your ear over.” Li Changning sneered. “Bai Xianyu and that Bai Yu’er from last time are all indulging in fantasy. With me here, when would they have the chance to have designs on my cousin?”

Qiao’er did not dare to speak. She stood up and leaned over.

She was not allowed to bring guards or maidservants. These were all restrictions for outsiders. She was the Emperor’s most beloved daughter. It was easy for her to do small tricks.

After Li Changning finished speaking, she gave her a bag of things.

Bai Xianyu and Ji Shuang’s seats were still quite far away, separated by a spacious dance pavilion.

The seats were lined up on both sides.

The highest seat was the dragon throne, and below it were the seats of the imperial family which were even closer to the front than the seats of ordinary court officials..
