When Yu Wenjuan saw the energetic Bai Yu, she could not help but sigh in her heart. Sometimes, it was not bad to be a fool. At least, she did not know anything and did not have to worry about anything.
Therefore, she started complaining to Bai Yu. Thinking that Bai Yu would not understand anyway, she used her as a place to vent her frustrations.
"Grant Aunt, you don't know! I heard so many secrets last night. I was afraid that someone would break in in the middle of the night to silence me, so I didn't dare to sleep the entire night!"
The corners of Bai Yu's mouth twitched. This girl was really thinking too much. Killing you? You must have watched too many palace dramas, right?
"Who dares to be so bold as to assassinate my Chief Steward? Are they tired of living!"
The nurse was stunned by the title of Chief Steward of the Imperial Household and lost her ability to express herself.
"My lady, let's go down and eat! You'll never understand my sorrow!"
Bai Yu did not understand, but she could feel that the little girl was really afraid. She thus tried to reassure her, "Don't worry, with me around, no one will dare to touch you. If they dare to touch you, I'll suppress them! My strength has never been exposed. You'll know when the time comes!"
The nurse had an expression of sadness when she heard that and even began to feel a little depressed.
The moment Bai Yu went downstairs, she saw that Liu Xu was already eating. She immediately ran over, "Nephew!"
"Uncle!"
Bai Yu sat down and waited for Yu Wenjuan to scoop her rice.
Suddenly, she felt someone looking at her. When she turned around, she saw Lei Yongqi constantly stealing glances at her. She could not help but ask, "Are you secretly flirting with me? Your eyes are still filled with love. Do you have any improper thoughts?"
Lei Yongqi and Liu Xu's expressions instantly froze.
"..."
In the past, Lei Yongqi would definitely explode in anger. He could not wait to roar back, "You're a fool. Are you worthy of me staring at you?"
However, he did not mock him today. Instead, he asked a question burning in his heart, "How did you tell?"
"Hmph! You've been peeping at me. This throne is handsome and have the bearing of a celestial being. It's inevitable that people will covet and have a crush on me. Moreover, my harem is empty. It's inevitable that you noble ladies want to climb up the social ladder. It's just human nature!"
"..."
Lei Yongqi was very speechless. How did you say such words so eloquently and logically?
"Your Majesty, are there any other vacancies around you?"
"Of course I'm lacking an empress. Yesterday, a courtier even spoke and asked me to establish a harem early and continue my bloodline. However, you don't have to have any extravagant hopes. I see that you're not smart and your appearance is very ordinary. The struggle in the harem is abnormally cruel. You won't live for long. I'm doing this for your own good!"
Bai Yu's words were really heart-wrenching, every sentence stabbing Lei Yongqi's sensitive point.
However, Lei Yongqi was also strange today. He had actually really started to think about these questions.
Seeing that Lei Yongqi did not react and was instead deep in thought, a strange expression could not help but flash in Bai Yu's eyes.
Was there really nothing wrong with this guy's brain today? With his previous style, even if he did not flip the table, he should have cursed out loud.
"Your Majesty, don't you lack the palace guards or an army? I think I can do that!"
Bai Yu and Liu Xu were both a little stunned when they heard him speak next.
'Could it be that this guy has really gone mad? And seriously insane at that? But how come there were no signs before? Could it be that the incident yesterday agitated him, causing his personality to change drastically?'
Bai Yu guessed that this guy might have thought it through and knew that he had to hide himself well and pretend to be mentally ill. That was why he insisted on finding a position under him.
"Yes, now that you mention it, I remember. My Chief Steward of the Imperial Court has been targeted for the past two days and suspects that someone wants to assassinate her. I'll order you to be the commander of the palace guards and temporarily protect her!"
Bai Yu's expression was solemn, and there was even a solemn air between her eyebrows, exuding the aura of an emperor.
Lei Yongqi was at a loss. When did Bai Yu have a Chief Steward?
At this moment, Yu Wenjuan happened to come in with food and her 'palace wine'.
"Great-aunt, it's time to eat. By the way, there's also your… your… palace jade wine!"
Yu Wenjuan felt that it was really difficult to speak about the beverage at the back. She even stuttered a little when she spoke.
"This is Little Juanzi, also my Chief Steward!"
Bai Yu pointed at Yu Wenjuan.
Yu Wenjuan was stunned and did not understand. She felt that she had missed something out.
Lei Yongqi's gaze was stunned as he looked at the unresponsive Yu Wenjuan. How could such a normal nurse accept this position so naturally?
Bai Yu suddenly slammed the table and stood up in an imposing manner. She waved her hand before shouting out, "I have a big announcement today!"
