"Oh? I would really be honored if you didn't let the princess down. " Smiling, I let her sit down in the room and gave her the present I had brought back from Nanyun. This was all prepared by Yan Hua for me. He was afraid that I wouldn't be able to deal with the imperial concubine after entering the palace, so he had already made the preparations for me.

The princess was very pleased to receive the gift, and affectionately took my arm: "Not disappointed, not disappointed at all. "Although I can't marry you, you can still be my sister-in-law. I'll be happy if big brother is happy!"

What a straightforward princess, I fell for her all of a sudden.

We chatted for a while, the conversation was very speculative, and the princess even took me around the Golden Lotus Palace, telling me the uses and origins of the rooms. The scenery of Cang Wu Palace and Nan Yu Palace are very different, the things she did really helped me quite a bit. However, after listening to her introduction, I also discovered that Yan Hua and Yue Ze both have the same characteristic, which is that the number of imperial concubines in the palace is very few. Currently, Yan Hua did not have an empress. As the emperor of a country, he only had four to five beauties in his palace. Compared to the common wealthy people, he was even more low-key. I heard that the highest ranking concubine in the harem is Senior Concubine Yi.

"In the evening, the imperial concubines and imperial concubines would hold a welcome banquet in the inner palace. Big brother would host a banquet with the officials and civil and military officials and would return to the inner palace at that time. "Sister Wu Bai, come and join us as well!" Princess Jingshu listened to Yan Hua's instructions and only called me "Bai Wu". As for the name "Bai Lian", there was already no one who mentioned it here. Most likely, the agreement between Huawei and Yueze had been fulfilled, right? After all, the one who married into the Cang was Bai Cai, a female official of Nan Yu, not Bai Lian, the general.

As long as the guest follows the host, I naturally agree. Before that, of course, I had to go to the dinner. As my mother's and daughter, I have an important mission on my shoulders.

Before nightfall, the head palace maid came to help me change my clothes. They brought a magnificent set of palace clothes, one by one Wei Ziyao Huang, very dazzling. I looked at those exaggerated beads and was a little aghast. They want me to wear this? Are you trying to dress me up as a good singer?

I asked, "Who prepared all these clothes?"

The palace maid replied, "Esteemed Imperial Concubine Yi prepared it."

Consort Yi? She should be Yan Hua's concubine now, right? It was said that the harem was now empty, so Imperial Consort Yi temporarily took charge of the six palaces.

I shook my head. "These are too extravagant, and I am not used to wearing the clothes of Cang Wu Country. Change Nan Yu's clothes. "

An awkward expression appeared on the face of the palace maid but under my insistence, I could only give up in the end. I changed into the Southern Yuku dress that Yueze had hastily bought for me in the Garin Pass, to send me to be a peacemaker.

The clothes were naturally not as gorgeous as Cang Wu Country's, but the color of plain white was my favorite. The white pearls embedded on them were extremely beautiful and light, yet they didn't lose the style of a country.

Her long hair was combed into a beautiful bun and adorned with pearls. After the makeup was done, all of the palace maids revealed envious expressions.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard a burst of light laughter like a oriole coming from outside the door. "Aiya, little sister Wu is so beautiful, no wonder our Emperor was so captivated by you!"

A lady with a head full of jewels, dressed in a crimson dress, walked in with a charming smile. She was full of people and was very imposing. When the palace maids saw her, they all lowered their heads and kneeled down to pay their respects.

I'm a bit stunned... Who was she? Why didn't she say anything when she came in? While I was changing my clothes, she actually barged into my room. This is too rude!

I looked somewhat gloomily at the head palace maid of the Golden Lotus Palace. She hurriedly lowered her head and said softly, "Greetings, Imperial Concubine Yi!"

Oh, so it's the Lord of the Sixth Palace!

As soon as Imperial Concubine Yi entered the door, she proclaimed herself to be the master of the Six Palaces. When the palace maids of Golden Lotus Palace saw her, they showed respect on their faces. She went straight to my inner room without passing on the message, and called me "sister" with a kind air of intimacy. However, I did not feel any affection for her "good intentions" because I did not want to marry Yan Hua, so I could not become her "sister". What's more, even if I wanted to marry Yan Hua, I'm still the empress. For the past year, I lived in the palace of the Southjade Kingdom as Yue Ze's personal female official. Although I didn't learn much, apart from eating and laziness, I didn't make much progress. Right now, Imperial Concubine Yi has such a grand voice and a pretense of intimacy. I know that she's probably here to probe my background.

As the ambassador of the Kingdom of Nan Yu, I have already caused quite a stir in the Cang Wu Country. The hottest topic of discussion in the entire Cang Wu City is about me, the envoy of the Peace Faction, and there is no need to talk about the shock I received in the Cang Wu Empire's imperial harem.

Since they're here to test me out, of course I'll give them a head-on beating. I am not a soft persimmon. I am not someone who can pinch as he pleases. Furthermore, Yan Hua ignored my wishes and forcefully brought me to the imperial harem. If that's the case, don't blame me for causing trouble for him.

Thinking of this, I immediately went on guard. However, Imperial Concubine Yi's smile was very charming. I stretched out my hand to stop hitting the smiling person, I had no choice but to tidy up my clothing and perform a royal salute in the Southern Kingdom.

Imperial Concubine Yi didn't have any reaction, but a beauty beside her revealed a look of displeasure.

That beauty came in with Imperial Concubine Yi. Judging from her attire, she should be one of Yan Hua's concubines. However, she was clearly of a much lower rank than Imperial Concubine Yi. When she entered the room, she was completely blocked by the first lady. I didn't even see her, and now that I bowed, she immediately jumped out.

She frowned and put on a critical expression. "Well, what is Miss White doing?"

I was slightly startled, but a palace maid stood by my side and answered: "Reporting to Imperial Concubine Chan, my family's young miss has just come here and doesn't know my rules. This is a Southern Elf Kingdom ceremony."

Chan Consort revealed a surprised expression, "Ah, I've long heard that Miss Bai Lan is a female official of the Southern Yu Country. How come you don't understand the rules of the palace when you are in Cang Wu Country? "The most basic form of etiquette is to follow the customs of the land. Does Miss White not understand it?"

The palace maid paused, lowered her head, and said no more. It was most likely because she heard that Chan Concubine was looking for trouble. Imperial Concubine Chan is most likely one of Imperial Concubine Yi's henchmen. She represents Imperial Concubine Yi. For a palace maid to fear Imperial Concubine Yi's might, it is common sense that she wouldn't help me refute her. After all, I'm new here and I'm not so heartless with them. How could they bother to defend me?

I felt a little cold in my heart and raised my head to look at Chan Fei. "Don't tell me that in the future, if Chan Fei comes to the palaces, she won't perform the curtseying ceremony?"

Chan Concubine's expression immediately became a bit worried. She turned her face to look at Imperial Concubine Yi, as if she was discussing the other party's intentions.

Imperial Consort Yi smiled without saying a word.

Chan Consort seemed to have received encouragement, and raised her voice to sneer at me: "Since you have already married into our Cang Wu Country, of course we will follow Cang Yue's rules. To think that you were once a court lady, did you not recite the etiquette lesson of a woman? You have always been a husband and a father at home. Now that you are Cang Yue's concubine, are you not considered a Cang Wu? "

I ignored her lazily and raised my eyebrows. "I am Nanyu. In the future, I will be wearing Nanyu's clothes. I will live the life of a Nanyu. If you don't accept it, you can complain to the Emperor! "
