Bai Yun was carried all the way back by the Queen Mother. She stared at the slender arms of the person in front of her and found it hard to imagine how this person could have such great strength.

And he could actually run while holding her...

The speed was so fast that Bai Yun could feel the wind blowing in her ears.

When they arrived at Changle Palace, Bai Yun hadn't reacted yet. The empress dowager immediately checked him up and down. After making sure that he was not injured, she finally felt relieved.

"My little princess, why did you run out without taking a rest? Where's Lai Fu? Doesn't he think highly of you?"

The Queen Mother's tone was somewhat reproachful.

Bai Yun lowered her head in panic, her voice soft and revealing a bit of guilt, "Laifu...I coaxed him to sleep, isn't there a banquet today? I'm a princess too, why can't I join in?"

In one sentence, the Queen Mother's original intention of educating her child was directly dashed.

She was about to coax him when a gentle male voice spoke up, "You are not an ordinary princess. How can we let you go to a banquet for ordinary people?"

The Queen Mother: “…” My goodness, is this still her thoughtful and cold brother?

Has someone changed roles?

Bai Yun's cheeks turned red, and she couldn't help but give Jun Mo a coquettish look. This one look was enough to make Jun Mo's heart flutter, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

The queen was so angry that she slapped him on the back, "Stop looking! Men and women shouldn't touch each other, don't you understand? Hurry up and leave before anyone finds you!"

Jun Mo was caught red-handed, but he was not angry. His mind was filled with the beauty in front of him. Her every eyebrow and every move was like a painting, engraved in his heart.

He thought of Bai Yun's identity and felt regretful. If he had known that she was such a beauty, he would definitely not have arranged Mu Yang's marriage.

Jun Mo's eyes were deep, and he promised solemnly, "Princess, I will find a way to resolve this marriage."

Bai Yun remained silent. The issue of the engagement would be resolved automatically later, so she was not in a hurry.

But when this matter was mentioned, the Queen Mother was so angry that she slapped him again. This time, Jun Mo noticed it and dodged it slightly. She looked at the Queen Mother disapprovingly and said, "Sister, as a Queen Mother, you should be dignified and virtuous."

The princess must think he has no manliness if he beats him all the time!

The Queen Mother was so angry that she laughed, "It was you who arranged this marriage, you little brat. I winked at you until my eyes almost went numb, but you ignored me."

Jun Mo pursed his lips unnaturally, and a guilty look appeared on his handsome face, but it was to Bai Yun. He apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry... I didn't know the inside story before. Don't worry, I will definitely handle it for the princess."

Mu Yang is not worthy of her.

Bai Yun smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Seeing the beautiful woman's smile, Jun Mo felt relieved again and stared at her with burning eyes. At this moment, he had lost all his rationality and became an admirer deeply in love.

"Yun'er, this guy is very bad, don't trust him." The system kept chattering, fearing that Bai Yun would be deceived, "These men are fickle. They obviously like the heroine, but now they pretend to like you. There must be other reasons! Maybe they want to plot against us..."

The system did not hesitate to discredit Jun Mo and others. It certainly knew that it was Yun'er's charm that directly fascinated Jun Mo...

But it's not wrong! They are all perverts!

Bai Yun nodded in confusion, "Don't worry, I don't believe a word he said... System, I'm so sleepy, why doesn't he leave?"

It was already late at night. Bai Yun's spirit was completely broken by the darkness. Her bright eyes were misty. She yawned lightly, her eyes blurred with sleep.

The Queen Mother quickly embraced Bai Yun and took her into the house, while waving her hand to drive Jun Mo away, "Xiao Yun needs to rest. There are differences between men and women. You should leave quickly."

Jun Mo's eyes subconsciously stared at the empress dowager's hand holding Bai Yun.

The slender waist seemed to be able to be held in one hand, so soft and boneless that it made his eyes brimming with envy.

He suppressed his impulse and watched the two people in front of him leave for a long time before they disappeared into the night.

--------------

The news of the engagement between Mu Yang, the eldest prince of Mu State, and the princess soon spread outside the palace.

"What? Princess Mingzhu is engaged?"

"Isn't it Princess Mingzhu? It seems to be Princess Baiyun, I've never heard of her."

"That's a trivial matter. Will Muguo be satisfied?"

…………

The whole Chu State soon began to talk about this, and the concubines in the palace also remembered Bai Yun's existence for the first time. What surprised them even more was that Bai Yun had been with the Queen Mother for some time.

The queen was very surprised at that time. She looked at Chu Mingzhu opposite her and said, "You said you disliked your sister, but she quietly climbed up to the queen mother."

Chu Mingzhu was holding a handkerchief in her hand at the moment, wondering whether she should go and ask for clarification.

Hearing this, she came back to her senses, curled her lips in disdain, and muttered, "It's not like she's the empress dowager herself... Chu Baiyun is just stupid, she can't even hug her thighs."

Unlike her, she can solve most problems by pleasing Emperor Chu.

The queen was speechless at her daughter's words. She couldn't help but pat Chu Mingzhu on the shoulder. "Bai Yun's biological mother is unknown and her status is low. It's really unlucky that she was granted marriage this time. But as my daughter, you can't be like her."

The Queen wanted to warn her daughter not to bother with unnecessary people and just try to please the Emperor of Chu.

However, Chu Mingzhu, who was mentioned Bai Yun many times, felt a little moved. She clenched her handkerchief and decided to go to Luohua Palace to see the sister she had never met.

"Mother, I have something else to do, so I will leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

The queen shook her head helplessly, "This girl..." She turned her head and looked at the maid beside her, "You, prepare some gifts. After all, it is the princess who arranged the marriage, so the proper etiquette should be followed."

The personal maid was the queen's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. She had followed the queen since she was a child and had a special relationship with her. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly think of Princess Bai Yun? Did someone gossip about you?"

The queen didn't care. Over the years, she had already seen through Bai Yun's position in Emperor Chu's heart. She was really like dirt on the ground, and she didn't even bother to look at her as she passed by.

So the queen understood Bai Yun's purpose and realized that she was probably being used.

This marriage was indeed like this, but at the banquet, Mu Yang was obviously more interested in Mingzhu. At that time, the Emperor of Chu forced the marriage on the Queen, so was she worried that it would affect Mingzhu's reputation?

"It shouldn't be. You should pay attention to the outside world recently. If Mingzhu has a bad reputation, deal with it in time and push it onto Chu Baiyun if necessary."

The queen had a blank expression on her face, even revealing indifference.

"Yes."

Changle Palace.

Bai Yun woke up very early today. As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Lai Fu's resentful gaze. "Princess, did you sneak out last night?"

Bai Yun was stunned for a moment, then looked away guiltily, smiling awkwardly, "Laifu, I didn't mean to not take you with me..."

Lai Fu snorted and said aggrievedly: "Then you should tell me that you scared me to death when I woke up in the morning."

Moreover, she was reprimanded by the Queen Mother early in the morning. The Queen Mother even wanted to deprive her of her position as the first person beside Bai Yun! Lai Fu was almost furious!

You can punish her!

You can’t touch her position!

"But..." Bai Yun's beautiful brows were slightly furrowed in distress. She went to eavesdrop last night. Does that mean they have to go in a group to eavesdrop?

不太好吧… …

But seeing Lai Fu's face wrinkled up, looking pitiful and funny, Bai Yun sighed, "I'll take you next time."

Lai Fu then smiled happily.

"I will help you wash up."

When Bai Yun finished washing up, the Queen Mother was already waiting in front of the dining table. When she saw Bai Yun coming, her eyes lit up and she waved, "Come quickly, Xiao Yun, we have your favorite food today."

Bai Yun hurried over.

"Don't be anxious, they're all yours." The Queen Mother looked at the beautiful woman with gentle eyes, and she felt that the food was delicious.

However, within half a minute, a palace servant came to report outside the door, and Ruo Liu hurried over to pass on the message, "Empress Dowager, Princess Mingzhu is here."

As she spoke, Ruoliu stole a glance at Bai Yun's profile and was so amazed that her heart beat faster.

Oh my god, Princess Bai Yun is so beautiful no matter how many times I look at her.

She even wants to compete with her goddaughter for the position!
