Ye Yaoyao self-deprecatingly looked at her peerlessly beautiful face in the mirror. She knew that she was beautiful and when the other concubines in the palace saw her, their eyes would be filled with jealousy. They were jealous of her beauty, she knew this, but she didn't understand, why was her appearance not attractive to the emperor at all?
Was she not good-looking enough? Was she not plump enough? Why was he still able to remain indifferent when she … was standing in front of him without a single thing?
Unfortunately, who was she? Wasn't she Lu Yaoyao?
Ye Zhen didn't know how she was inferior to Lu Yaoyao.
"Your Highness, why can't you serve me in bed? Who else in the palace can compare to you? " Dong Mei soothed in a low voice, "I think Lu Yaoyao will not be able to enter the palace. This slave heard that Lu Yaoyao is Ye Zhen's sister, the daughter of a criminal. How can the emperor make the daughter of a criminal empress?"
"Lu Yaoyao is Ye Zhen's sister?" Ye Yaoyao had heard of Ye Zhen. She was the emperor's former princess. It was said that the emperor hated her very much.
Dong Mei smiled and nodded, "That's what people say."
Ye Yaoyao bowed her head and smiled, "Didn't the emperor go to the Palace of Benevolence and Peace? Will he come tonight … "
"Whether the emperor comes or not, Your Highness should be prepared." Dong Mei said.
"Then let the little palace maid fetch water." Ye Yaoyao finally regained a little spirit. She didn't believe that she was really inferior to Lu Yaoyao. Perhaps, when the emperor really knew her, he would know that she was not worse than Lu Yaoyao.
Dong Mei smiled and nodded, "This slave will prepare now."
Ye Yaoyao glanced at herself in the mirror. Since she entered the palace, the man in the black cloak and the man who hurt her have not appeared again. Perhaps they will not look for her again.
As long as they disappear, no one will know her secret. The emperor will never know that she is not his savior.
He will always be kind to her.
Ye Yaoyao looked forward to the day when she could get the emperor's true love.
As for Lu Yaoyao …
She had never been so jealous and hateful as she was at this moment. She really hoped that the person who stole the emperor would never appear again.

Lu Xiangzhi rushed back to Jingdu because he knew that Old Madam Lu was sick. He wanted to come back to take a look, but who knew that he would receive the bad news on the way. Old Madam Lu had passed away.
He rushed back on the third day. After crying loudly in the mourning hall, he suppressed his sorrow with the comfort of everyone.
Lu Shixun and his wife had not appeared for a day. One of them was slapped by the emperor, and the other by Ye Zhen's maid. They felt that they had lost face in front of everyone, so they simply did not come to the mourning hall anymore. They also wanted others to think that the third branch was bullying others and that the second branch dared not show up.
"Where are Second Uncle and Second Aunt?" Lu Xiangzhi didn't know the details and didn't see them in the mourning hall, so he asked Lu Tingzhi in a low voice.
Lu Tingzhi shook his head and sighed. He told him what had happened at home yesterday, "… We all heard grandmother's last words. She didn't blame Yao Yao, but second uncle didn't allow her to wear mourning clothes for grandmother. This was too unreasonable. It just so happened that the emperor was also present. When he saw that second uncle had said something unpleasant, he slapped his mouth."
"Yao Yao is back?" Lu Xiangzhi's face sank. He only heard half of what happened to his sister. He had too many doubts in his heart and wanted to ask Yao Yao about it.
"Xiangzhi, come out with me." Lu Shiming whispered to his son.
Lu Xiangzhi followed Lu Shiming out of the mourning hall. "Father, where is Yao Yao? Didn't she leave a letter and run away? I'll go find her. "
"Come back!" Lu Shiming shouted at his son. "Come to the study with me."
"Father …" Lu Xiangzhi wanted to ask his sister what was wrong with the Lu family that made her miss her biological father. She didn't know how long she had made him sad.
Lu Shiming turned and walked towards the study. Lu Xiangzhi had to follow.
"Before your sister left the letter, we all knew that she was going to find her biological father. She left the letter just so that the emperor would not be angry with the Lu family. Don't blame her." Lu Shiming whispered to his son after closing the door.
"Since she went to find her biological father, why did she come back?" Lu Xiangzhi's heart was sour. He felt that his sister didn't value him as her brother.
Lu Shiming glared at him. "She is Ye Zhen's sister and Ye Yiqing's daughter. Can she go to Ye Yiqing openly? Her whole Ye family is dead. She heard that her father is still alive. Shouldn't she look for him? "
"What?" Lu Xiangzhi was stunned. He had been in the capital for so long that he knew what the Ye family represented. He looked at his father in surprise. "Sister, she …"
"There is one more thing. It's about your eldest brother." When Lu Shiming spoke of Lu Lingzhi, his eyes became cold. He told his son the real reason why Lu Lingzhi was exiled to the wilderness. Then he said, "In the future, you are not allowed to help your brother, and don't send people to the wilderness."
Lu Lingzhi should reflect on himself in the wilderness and not make the same mistake again.
"Dad … Why is this happening?" Lu Xiangzhi couldn't believe what he had heard. How could his most respected brother be such a person?
"Go to your sister. She is with your mother." Lu Shiming didn't want to say more. These things were left to the four of them.
Lu Xiangzhi turned and walked to the door. He hesitated for a moment. "Dad, has my sister found her biological father?"
"The emperor went to Hamu City and brought her back. He should not have found her." Lu Shiming whispered. "However, I have sent people to look for her in secret."
"If she is found … will my sister leave us?" Lu Xiangzhi asked again.
Lu Shiming was reluctant to part with his daughter. Listening to his son's nonsense, he glared at him angrily. "Can't you ask Yao Yao yourself? Why do you ask me? "
"Then I'll go and ask her. Just say it's what you want to ask." Lu Xiangzhi said immediately and ran out before Lu Shiming could react.
"Stinky boy!" Lu Shiming scolded angrily.
Lu Xiangzhi found Pei Shi in the upper room. They were cleaning up Old Madam Lu's belongings with the women of the family.
"Brother." Ye Zhen saw Lu Xiangzhi and finally showed a smile on her face. "You are back?"
"Yes, I just arrived." Lu Xiangzhi touched Ye Zhen's head. "I wanted to accompany the old lady and make her happy."
Ye Zhen's eyes were hot. "If only I were at home."
If she were at home, Old Madam Lu would not have died so soon.
"Don't think about it." Lu Xiangzhi said softly.
Pei Shi looked at her son and felt that it was good that the family was finally reunited. "Did you see your second uncle in the mourning hall?"
Lu Xiangzhi shook his head. "No."
