Baili Jinxiu had originally thought that the most he could see of the empress dowager was his. After all, even the Emperor and Empress knew that the empress dowager was sick and needed some rest.

But as soon as Baili Jinxiu stepped into this enormous palace, he saw Gong Xiaoche and the Imperial Concubine sitting beside the empress dowager.

The empress dowager's age was much older than Baili Jinxiu had imagined, because when Baili Jinxiu saw that the empress dowager was still young, he had assumed that the empress dowager's age was only that of a mother-in-law.

Only, she didn't expect that the empress dowager would have such a head of flowery hair. His grandmother and the Empress Dowager were in between, but his grandmother was only a little greying at the temples. She always had a smile on her face and did not look old.

The empress dowager, on the other hand, sat on a chair with a sallow face. He was clearly very young, but there was a deep crease between his eyebrows.

Such a person would know that his heart was heavy upon seeing him, which was why he had such deep wrinkles on his face.

When the Imperial Concubine and Gong Xiaoche saw Baili Jinxiu and Gong Xiaoxuan walk in, both of them had a strange expression on their faces.

Gong Xiaoche stood up first, and looked at Baili Jinxiu provocatively, with a malicious smile on his lips, he extended his hand and bowed to Gong Xiaoxuan.

"Royal brother, Royal Sister-In-Law."

Gong Xiaoxuan directly walked in front of the empress dowager, but Baili Jinxiu nodded seriously.

Nanny He who was standing at the side carefully looked at Prince An's face, but did not see any trace of displeasure from him.

The Imperial Concubine smiled as she sat beside the empress dowager and affectionately held her hand. "On the other hand, Princess An is becoming more and more obedient now. Back then, when Princess An was running behind Xiao Che, he was still mischievous.

Majesty, you used to let this little girl enter the palace often to accompany you, but now you've fulfilled your wish. and made Princess An your grandson's wife. "

When the Imperial Concubine said this, the Palace Maiden inside the palace looked at Baili Jinxiu in a different light.

The things that his brother-in-law and sister-in-law had to say were taken as a joke by their imperial concubine. This was as if she didn't put Baili Jinxiu in her eyes at all.

Or did the imperial concubine think that the Prince Gong Xiaoxuan would not do anything to him just because he was the imperial concubine and was in front of the empress dowager?

Baili Jinxiu looked at the Imperial Concubine's smiling face, but felt a wave of disgust in the bottom of his heart.

Gong Xiaoche also looked at Baili Jinxiu, and asked: "Royal Sister-In-Law, were you tired yesterday?"

This question was filled with concern, but the content wasn't something a brother-in-law should ask.

After all, it was not only Princess Sa Ya who caused a ruckus at the Prince An Palace's wedding banquet yesterday.

What was last night?

Was Baili Jinxiu tired of having bridal ceremony?

Baili Jinxiu: Haha.

"Prince was even considerate last night, which was why he woke up late in the morning. It was only because the Prince had said not to enter the palace so early to disturb the Emperor Empress and the empress dowager. With the empress dowager's Nanny He by her side visiting the Prince An Palace, the empress dowager would naturally feel at ease.

Even if the Emperor and Empress knew about it yesterday, they would definitely be relieved that the empress dowager's people would come to the Prince An Palace to help the council member.

Sixth brother, I appreciate your kindness. In the past, Royal Sister-In-Law was young and didn't understand anything. Only now do I know that I should be filial to my elders and take care of my younger brother.

That's right, there isn't much difference between my Sixth Brother and my Prince. Now that Prince and I are in love, I really hope for Sixth Brother to find a good girl.

Princess Sa Ya, who came to the Prince An Palace yesterday to congratulate, was very lively and adorable.

As a sister-in-law, I'm also worried about Sixth Brother's life. However, back then, Sixth Brother and Eldest Sister were rather fond of each other. "How are things now?"

Baili Jinxiu scolded his Sixth Brother, causing the color of Gong Xiaoche's face to change.

Baili Jinxiu, who had followed behind him all this while, was now treating him like a little brother?

Princess Sa Ya? The foolish Baili Furong? It would be strange if he took another look.

Without mentioning anything else, if Baili Furong was not stupid, and was still a Prime Minister, Gong Xiaoche would not mind marrying Baili Furong into his family.

But seeing that the Emperor was getting further and further away from the Assistant Minister Baili, it would be strange if Gong Xiaoche took a fancy to him again.

But it was Gong Xiaoche who spoke up first just now. Even if Baili Jinxiu were to speak in his capacity as his sister-in-law, it would not be too much to speak of this now.

After all, compared to how tired Gong Xiaoche was, there was no problem for Sister-in-law to care for her little brother.

"Princess An is really eloquent." The Imperial Concubine watched as her son was rendered speechless. The smile on her face slowly disappeared.

The arrogant way he acted was enough to scare others, but it couldn't scare Baili Jinxiu at all.

How many times had Baili Jinxiu sparred with the imperial concubine before? From the moment Second Master Mo died, he didn't think much of it at all.

Baili Jinxiu clearly knew that in a battle with an imperial concubine, he wouldn't have to worry about his own life or death.

Because in the eyes of a imperial concubine, if a little brother could become a tool to frame him, then Baili Jinxiu would put the imperial concubine in the category of 'unscrupulous means'.

If he was going all out, what was there to be afraid of?

"Thank you, Noble Consort, for your praise." Baili Jinxiu calmly accepted the praise. After all, what the imperial concubine said was indeed the truth.

Her words rendered Gong Xiaoche speechless; naturally, he had a sharp tongue.

Baili Jinxiu's open appearance made the imperial concubine grind her teeth in anger.

"Esteemed wangfei, it's time for you to give the empress dowager some tea." Nanny He turned around and carried the tea that the palace maids brought up to him. When Baili Jinxiu took it over, he immediately brought her to the front of the empress dowager.

In the exchange between Baili Jinxiu and Imperial Concubine Gong Xiaoche, the empress dowager's face had always been cold. A pair of eyes merely opened up and sized up Baili Jinxiu when he entered.

For the rest of the time, the empress dowager only half-closed her eyes and didn't say a word, even though the imperial concubine was speaking with incomparable affection.

Baili Jinxiu looked towards the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine was sitting proudly by the empress dowager's side, unexpectedly still smiling as she said, "The empress dowager's body is uncomfortable. Prince An, Princess An, just kneel down and drink some tea.

Imperial Concubine, are you planning to make Gong Xiaoxuan and me kneel to her?

Although they were imperial concubines' juniors, they were now Prince and an imperial concubine. When meeting a imperial concubine, there was really no need for them to kneel down and kowtow.

Imperial Concubine, are you planning to use the power of the empress dowager to intimidate yourself and Gong Xiaoxuan?

Baili Jinxiu carefully looked at the empress dowager's face, but discovered that the empress dowager didn't seem to agree with what she said at all.
