But Xu Jinyi's actions these days made her feel ashamed and embarrassed.

If Xu Jinyi is a kind and noble fairy, then she must be the sand in the dust.

The more generous Xu Jinyi was, the more guilty Xu Yurou felt.

With her looks, she is definitely qualified to marry any nobleman in Beijing as his wife.

But now, because of her selfishness, she has to enter the palace to accompany the old emperor and will be childless for the rest of her life.

Come to think of it, Xu Yurou feels guilty.

Lord Xu also felt guilty. He had let her mother down, and now he had to sacrifice her daughter.

Taking out the small box he had prepared, Lord Xu handed it over without any reluctance and started talking.

"This is the money your father prepared for you. You will need a lot of money after entering the palace, so you must take good care of yourself."

"If you don't have enough money, just tell Xia Qing to come back and I'll prepare it for you."

Xia Qing is Xu Jinyi's personal maid and is going to follow her into the palace.

Xu Jinyi took it with emotion: "Thank you, Daddy."

Xu Yurou also took out all the banknotes she had saved over the years: "Sister, this is the money I saved, you can take it too, and take it all to the palace."

"Thank you, sister." Xu Jinyi was actually laughing like crazy inside.

That’s right, I came back this time and worked so hard to improve their favorability just to make a killing from them.

She had no good feelings towards Lord Xu. After all, her mother could be said to have been indirectly killed by him.

If he hadn't forced her, her mother wouldn't have entered the mansion as a concubine, and she wouldn't have died of depression.

Although this sister is not a bad person, if she had not been selfish in her previous life, the original owner would not have entered the palace and brought about the Queen's murder.

When she came back, she thought about confronting them head-on and threatening them to give her a sum of money if they wanted her to enter the palace.

Then she thought about becoming the queen in the future and couldn't afford to have a bad reputation, so she gave up.

"Third sister, are you okay?" The voice of second sister Xu Nianhuan was heard outside.

Xu Nianhuan was also one of the selected girls this time, and she came here to ask Xu Jinyi to enter the palace together.

"Here I am, Dad, Sister, Yi'er is gone, please don't see her off."

Only after getting into the carriage with Xu Nianhuan did Xu Jinyi open the box given to her by her father.

You don’t know until you see it. Once you see it, you will be filled with surprises.

He took out the banknotes given by Xu Yurou, counted them like a money-grubber and put them back, then counted the ones given by her father.

Xu Nianhuan, who was sitting next to her, was completely stunned. She whispered into Xu Jinyi's ear: "Third sister, you didn't rob Dad's warehouse, did you?"

"Two hundred and twenty thousand taels, wow, that's a lot of money. Come on, second sister, I'll give you half of it."

This second sister is also a pitiful person. Like her, she is an invisible person in the Marquis' Mansion and is not favored by her father.

But this character is lively and kind.

In her previous life, after the Queen attacked her, this second sister was so stupid that she had the chance to escape, but she left her chance to live.

He put on her clothes and became a scapegoat.

In this life, the original owner's wish, apart from revenge on the queen, was to repay this silly second sister.

Xu Nianhuan pointed at the tip of his nose, with a silly expression as if he was hit by a huge pie, and spoke in disbelief.

"These... these are for me?" He stuttered.

"Um."

Xu Jinyi nodded firmly and stuffed the stack of banknotes into her palm.

Xu Nianhuan was dumbfounded. He pinched his face hard, then smiled foolishly at the banknote.

"Third sister, are you really giving these to me? Why?" Although Xu Nianhuan did not look like a lady from a noble family, but rather acted like a woman from the underworld, she was not stupid.

She was not very familiar with this third sister, and she was panicked when she suddenly gave her so much money.

"No?" Xu Jinyi raised her eyebrows and asked in a soft voice.

Xu Nianhuan showed his big white teeth and took the banknote into his arms: "Yes, I want it, but you really want to spend it, this is one hundred thousand taels, what do you want me to do for you?"

This was the first time she had seen so much money in her life.

Xu Jinyi: “…”

"What can you do? Keep it as your dowry." Xu Jinyi said.

Grinning, Xu Nianhuan accepted the banknote and said, "Third sister, if you need anything from me in the future, just let me know."

Then she continued sullenly, "I have also imagined wearing a wedding dress and getting married, but I'm afraid that once I enter the palace, I won't have the chance anymore."

"Sister, we are sisters. When we enter the palace, we must take care of each other and share the hardship and happiness together."

"I will protect you."

Looking at Xu Nianhuan who made the promise, Xu Jinyi realized that this was what her second sister had thought in her previous life.

So after entering the palace, when she saw the Queen sending people to deal with her, she helped and protected her again and again!

Xu Jinyi looked at her second sister with some emotion: "Second sister, what kind of ideal husband do you want to marry?"

Glancing at Xu Jinyi, Xu Nianhuan blushed and approached quietly: "I'm telling you, you can't tell anyone else."

After hearing this, Xu Jinyi's face showed a look of realization.

Not surprising.

The man Xu Nianhuan wants to marry is the man all the powerful women in Beijing want to marry.

The Duke's eldest son, Liu Jingshi.

Why do powerful women want to marry him? It’s not just because of his family status or his identity.

But the Liu family has a rule left by their ancestors.

That is, women from the Liu family cannot be concubines, men can only marry one wife, and men can only take concubines if they are thirty and have no children.

This rule is known to everyone in the capital, so no matter whether they are legitimate sons or illegitimate sons, the young masters in the Duke's Mansion are very popular.

Especially the prince, after all, he is the one who will inherit the title in the future.

"If the prince and you are destined to be together, then sister will help you. Don't worry, the emperor will not let you enter the palace."

Xu Nianhuan nodded nonchalantly: "With you, my third sister, a celestial being here, it's normal that the emperor can't see me. I'm just afraid that if you enter the palace, I won't be able to enter, and there will be no one to protect you."

"It's too dangerous for you to enter the palace with your appearance. There are so many things going on in the backyards of ordinary ministers, let alone the emperor's harem of three thousand concubines."

Xu Jinyi patted her shoulder: "I will protect myself, no one can harm me."

Upon learning that the concubine had moved into Yuxiu Palace, some people in the palace were happy while others were sad.

The one who was happy was naturally the empress dowager, as she was hoping that these beautiful girls could give birth to the emperor's eldest son.

The ones who are panicking are the concubines in the harem, because the emperor no longer summons them to sleep with him.

After being in the palace for many years, they are no longer young and cannot compare to those younger sisters. If new concubines come in, their status and power will be gone!

The one who was worried was the emperor. Now that the concubine had entered the palace, it was no longer something Xiao Hongyu could stop.

He stared coldly at Youfu, who was kneeling on the ground and failing to do his job, and asked sternly, "How do you, a dog slave, do your job? What are we keeping you for? You are becoming more and more useless."

The dark guard: "..."

Secret guards: Don’t think they didn’t hear it. The emperor is scolding all of them.
