“Bengong has arranged this party to thank Miss Bai Hua. Hope you’re enjoying it.”
“Your Majesty is most gracious.”
After chatting for a while, the purpose of the party was mentioned by the Empress who was the host. Bai Hua bowed her head and replied humbly. Though on her face was a smile, in her heart she knew that Empress Wang had a hidden motive.
“Bengong would like to give this hairpin to you, as thanks for saving Ming-er's life.” A golden hairpin was taken out from the Empress’s complicated hairdo. All women in the party stared at her, shocked by the action.
