The Queen Mother said: "Your Majesty said, 'This girl is not very detailed, and her appearance is ordinary, so the Emperor doesn't like her very much. It would be fine if she were to be a slave, but the Emperor doesn't want to be a concubine.'"
Bai Yuyue was stunned for a moment.
Then, he lowered his head in even more fear.
The Queen Mother did not bother Cang Xilin, she just said:
"As far as the Ai family knows, during the months you have been serving the emperor, the emperor must have gone straight to the main hall to discuss state affairs with you when he came down from court."
"But I never take you to the other concubines at night, right?"
Bai Yuyue nodded.
The Queen Mother sighed: "The Ai family has never seen the emperor protect someone so carefully."
Bai Yuyue was silent.
Cang Xilin’s meaning is obvious:
He didn't want to let her stand outside the door while he was favoring other concubines.
This will make him sad.
She actually knew Cang Xilin's affection for her very well in her heart.
She just doesn't want to be a concubine and share a man with other women who is not destined to be hers alone.
Therefore, she always rejected Cang Xilin's kindness.
The better Cang Xilin treats her, the more uneasy she becomes.
The Queen Mother said: "Get up and stop kneeling."
Bai Yuyue stood up, but kept his head lowered.
The Queen Mother sighed:
"My child, I have wronged you. Before the world is settled, the Ai family cannot let the emperor take you."
"But if the day comes when the world is unified, the Ai family will definitely make the decision personally and betroth you to the emperor in all their glory!"
Bai Yuyue trembled all over, but didn't know how to refute.
She could only say thanks: "——Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace."
The Queen Mother nodded: "Well. You won't leave Chaoyang Palace now unless it's important. That's good. The Emperor wants to protect you and ask you to stay with him quietly and assist him. Just follow the Emperor's wishes.
Do."
Bai Yuyue agreed.
"And..." the Queen Mother said, her voice deepening.
"Remember, what should be yours is yours. Don't take the initiative to look for it before the time is up. Next time the Ai family sees you, I hope to see Shou Gongsha on your wrist!"
