Bai Feiyue had a reason for doing so. She didn't like eunuchs serving her in close proximity, but these palace maids were either the emperor's servants or the empress dowager's men. And then, they were Yu QianXun's men for the emperor to choose from.

At this moment, Yuchen Ze was already beginning to suspect if this little girl had already seen through him. But he didn't know where he had slipped up.

The empress had four first-rate palace maids, eight second-rate palace maids, and twelve third-rate palace maids.

Bi Chun and Qiu Qi were naturally first-rate palace maids, so the remaining two …

Bai Feiyue looked at Yuchen Ze. "Your majesty, chenqie only has two first-class maidservants left. Why don't you pick one for chenqie?"

Yu Chenze smiled. What a clever little girl. He only had to choose two, and it was clear that one of the two must be him. It was much more likely than the other two.

He didn't know why, but he knew what she was thinking. In his heart, he was willing to let her succeed, but …

"Elder sister, what is a first-rate palace maid?"

Bai Feiyue smiled. It doesn't matter if you pretend to be stupid, but you have to choose two for me.

Bai Feiyue pointed at the palace maids dressed in pink and said softly, "Your Majesty can choose whichever one is prettier."

Bai Feiyue had barely finished speaking when Yu Chenze suddenly grabbed her hand with a pleading look in his eyes. "Elder sister, I think you're the most beautiful."

"…" Bai Feiyue was stunned. She knew what he said was true and what was false. It was precisely because of this that she was even more stunned.

Yuchen Ze snickered, but before she could regain her senses, her jade-like fingers had already tapped twice in the air: "These two."

Bai Feiyue was serious. Had he been taken advantage of just now?

She shifted her gaze to the two palace maids who had been singled out. Her hair was tied into a bun, and her eyes were filled with the ripples of the wind. Her skin was soft, white, and shiny. She was a beauty.

She glanced at Yuchen Ze with pretty good eyes.

The other one was quite simple and unadorned. His build was quite sturdy and his expression was faint, as if he wasn't the slightest bit surprised that the Emperor would be pointing at her.

"Of the two girls, one is Bi Chun, the other is Qiu Qi. There is still one winter and one summer left." She looked at the better-looking palace maid. "From now on, you will be called Xia Lian, and you will be called Dong Yan. How about it?" "Dong Yan, do you like the smiling Yan Yan?"

However, the expression on Sharlyn's face didn't look very good after she said that.

Dong Yan was slightly taken aback, but immediately nodded her head, "This servant likes it."

Bai Feiyue had purposely brought up Dong Yan again, but had neglected Xia Lian. She looked at Yuchen Ze, and her eyes lit up, as if she was saying to him, Let me see how powerful your people are. This Xia Lian is not a peaceful person.

Of course, Yuchen Ze had purposely picked two ladies with completely different styles. Otherwise, how could Bai Feiyue recognize who he was so easily?

However, he didn't expect that this little girl would hold a grudge. Wasn't it because she schemed against him yesterday, and he hated her to the point that he had to vent his anger on her today?

In terms of agility and calculation, if she succeeded, it would be her life.

His lips curled up into a smile. "Elder sister, I'm hungry. I want to eat something delicious."

Bai Feiyue patted his head before turning around to instruct, "Lai Lai, I've just arrived at Peace Palace and am not familiar with the palace yet. Bring Bi Chun to the kitchen and let her familiarize herself with it."

Bi Chun knew in his heart that his master had given her authority. He immediately rejoiced and left with Fortune.

Bai Feiyue cast a sidelong glance at Xia Lian before speaking to Dong Yan, "Dong Yan, you know the rules of the palace better than I do, so you'll be teaching the palace maids for now. In the future, you'll need to give more guidance to the two female servants of my palace. They've just arrived like me, so they're still unclear about everything in the palace. Don't be stingy."

Dong Yan glanced at Yu Chen Ze, his heart filled with terror. He kept a straight face as he knelt down and promised, "This servant will not disappoint the Empress."

"That's good." Bai Feiyue had a very amiable smile on his face. Looking at the unresigned expression on Xia Lian's face, he smiled even more happily than before.
