Chapter 402: Chapter 402: The Empress’s Invitation Letter (4)_1

At that moment, it suddenly came to their ears that the little bitch, Mu Caiwei, was requested by Bai Shang Palace, who was the spokesperson for the Empress. Even after racking their brains, the ladies couldn’t figure out what connection such a bitch could possibly have with the Empress. They all found it baffling.

Some even wished that this little bitch had committed an offense, and was about to be punished by the Empress. But on second thought, she is currently residing at Duke Ans Mansion. If she was punished, Duke An’s Mansion would be implicated, and they would be no better off. So with this thought, their malicious curses gradually subsided.

Hua Mei guided the mother-daughter duo to the Osmanthus Pavilion and left Lady Du outside, letting Cai Wei go in alone.

Although Lady Du was worried, she didn’t dare to resist. Therefore, she stuck her ears up against the door, listening to the movements within. If anything detrimental to her daughter happened inside, she was determined to break in at the risk of her life and protect her daughter.

Cai Wei, followed by Hua Mei, entered the Flower Hall and immediately saw Bai Shang Palace, who was seated at the head of the hall. The woman had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were mysterious and unpredictable. It was apparent that she was a woman who had spent many years immersed in the perplexing world of the palace, otherwise, she could not have cultivated such a mystifying demeanor.

Even though she felt disdain for Palace Administrator Bai, she knew she had to behave politely on the surface. After all, she still needed to get by in the capital, didn’t she? Offending a person in power would provide her with no benefits for her future.

So, she stepped forward a few paces, bowing down respectfully and greeted, "Greeting to Palace Administrator Bai, may you be well!"

Bai Shang Palace slowly placed down her teacup and didn’t immediately ask her to rise. Instead, she gave her an in-depth look and a faint smile was hovering on her face. After a while, she slowly said, "Stand up!"

"Yes!"

Cai Wei straightened up, humbly and obediently standing in the middle of the hall, saying nothing.

Palace Administrator Bai laughed and said, "Such a good-looking beauty! Not only is she beautiful, but she also possesses an uncommonly pure heart like a crystal!"

Cai Wei modestly replied, "Palace Administrator Bai, why do you say so? How could I have such virtues to deserve your praise?"

In the Great Hall, several of the ladies were taken aback by Palace Administrator Bai’s words. They never expected that Bai Shang Palace was here to praise this little bitch. Although they were resentful in their hearts, Cai Wei was, after all, living in their mansion and had close connections with them. If Cai Wei gained face in front of the Empress, Duke An’s Mansion would also necessarily rise in status. Therefore, they all suppressed their jealousy and gradually became pleased.

Old Madam Wang politely said, "Palace Administrator Bai, you are too kind, she is merely a child, not worth such praise from you."

Palace Administrator Bai laughed and said, "I am not flattering her. It’s a wonderful coincidence. Yesterday, the housekeeper of the Princess House accidentally tasted the roast skewers from Miss Mu’s restaurant thought they were delicious, so they brought some back to the Princess. The Princess enjoyed them so much that she sent more into the palace and unexpectedly, they were exactly to the Empress’s taste. The Empress even ate half a bowl more of rice than usual!"

"Later, when the royal chef inquired about the cooking method of these skewers, he found out that the incredible flavor was due to Miss Mu’s creation. As a young lady, Miss Mu is so clever. The Empress Dowager was very pleased and specially instructed that Miss Mu be invited to the Shangsi Festival Feast held in the palace in four days. Here is the invitation. Please prepare properly, Miss Mu, and meet Her Majesty the Empress Dowager in the Imperial Garden in four days."

Having said that, she gently lifted her hand, and a palace maid behind her immediately brought out a golden invitation and handed it to another palace maid who then presented it to Cai Wei.
