She clasped her hands tightly. “Do you still remember the dress Bai Xianyu was wearing today and the hairpin ring?”
The maidservant nodded. “1 remember. Miss Bai’s dress was sold in the fabric workshop. That hairpin is really beautiful. I remember it clearly.”
“Go and buy me a set. Draw out the hairpin ring and let me take a look before getting someone to have it made.”
The maidservant was a little surprised. “Yes, Miss.”
Lu Xi touched her bun. That day, she was wearing the dress Bai Xianyu wore at the palace banquet, so Xie Xingyun took a few more glances. What if… she was dressed exactly like Bai Xianyu?
In the past, Lu Xi would not have been able to buy Bai Xianyu’s clothing, but now, in order to patronize her family business, Bai Xianyu would go to the fabric workshop from time to time to pick out a few pieces of clothing to wear. As a result, her business was getting better and better.
Through this relationship, Bai Xianyu interacted more and more with the palace. During the delivery of clothings, she would occasionally tag along with Shopkeeper Sheng.
Because the people in the palace were all nobles, Shopkeeper Sheng would deliver the clothes personally.
She became familiar with the various palaces and halls after a few deliveries. She was more familiar than Bai Xianyu.
On this day when they entered the palace, the two of them first went to Noble Consort An’s Eternal Spring Palace.
In the Eternal Spring Palace, the Fifth Prince, Li Yi, was talking to Noble Consort An. He frowned and mentioned what happened at the palace banquet that day. “Mother, Changning is already in her teens and of marriageable age, you shouldn’t indulge her to mess around. Previously, you actually colluded with Changning to frame Bai Xianyu. After her brother found out, he returned to the capital and joined Grandfather’s faction. If it happens again, he’ll probably hate me.”
Noble Consort An defended herself. “How would I know that the person Ning’er wanted to tease was her? Ning’er only told me that she wanted me to bring the Emperor to the side hall, but it was still Ning’er inside! I was so angry that I wanted to know who did it; I didn’t expect it to be Bai Xianyu.”
Li Yi sighed. “After that, Changning went to the Great Xiangguo Temple with me. I forced her to apologize, but she didn’t. She’s so stubborn. Something will happen sooner or later.”
Noble Consort An said, “I know what you’re thinking. Don’t worry, Changning and I won’t be a burden to you. These days, many from the palace are heading to her second brother’s place to buy clothes. I’ve also got someone to buy quite a bit. It’s time for her to back off.”
Bai Xianyu happened to hear this and the corners of her lips curled up meaningfully. Although Noble Consort An knew how to pander, she was also proud and arrogant. Other than Emperor Wu Xuan, she spoke to everyone in a patronizing tone. In the end, she could not even protect the Fifth Prince, who was already the Crown Prince.
It did not match the shrewdness on the surface and was not a difficult enemy to deal with.
She might be able to make use of her…
Although Grade-7 Concubine Xu’s Liu Yun was loyal, she was a little naive. She might be able to get some timely help from her.
Shopkeeper Sheng handed the clothes to the servants. She and Bai Xianyu were followed by a few service staff, all holding brand new clothes.
This maidservant had never seen Bai Xianyu before and asked curiously, “May I know who you are?”
Shopkeeper Sheng introduced with a smile, “This is the Fifth A^iss of the Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor. Her surname is Bai.”
The maid’s expression changed slightly.
“Miss, wait a moment. I’ll report to the Noble Consort now.”
Even though Bai Xianyu and Shopkeeper Sheng were here to deliver clothes, no one dared to ignore her.
Noble Consort An and Li Yi’s conversation was interrupted, and the latter gave the former a look. The former gave him a reassuring look and said with a smile, “She’s here; I’ll have a good chat with her later. It’s easiest to coax a young lady.”
She walked out, dragging her long palace dress, and asked with a smile, “Why did Xianyu come personally?”
This change in attitude wasn’t too pretentious. Compared to the fierce gaze she gave her that day, Noble Consort An was simply like a harmless lamb now.
Bai Xianyu smiled and said, “Your Highness is of noble status. 1 was afraid that the servants would offend Your Highness, so I came along.”
Noble Consort An was pleased by Bai Xianyu’s modest tone. She had given her a lot of face. With her status, she did not have to do this. Hence, Noble Consort An instantly found Bai Xianyu very likeable. “Speaking of offense, Ning’er was insensible that day and joked with you. I didn’t expect her to cause you so much trouble. This is her fault.”
“Your Highness, you’re overstating it.”
“Why don’t you accompany me to walk around the garden?”
Bai Xianyu was just thinking about how to lure her to Grade-7 Concubine Xu’s place. Her red lips curled up. “Alright.”
Noble Consort An felt pleased with herself. She was much easier to coax than she had imagined. She had thought her as a powerful character for being able to scheme against Ning’er and escape unscathed?
The scenery in the harem’s court was quite good.
And the news of Bai Xianyu coming into the palace, Xu Wanru was also aware. She pinched the petals and pondered for two seconds. “Liu Yun, let’s go out for a walk.”
Bai Xianyu and Noble Consort An chatted for a while. Most of the time, Noble Consort An was the one asking while Bai Xianyu answered.
However, after her few replies, Noble Consort An had a whole new level of respect for her..
