She looked at the palace maid leading the way.

I thought that not everyone could be a palace maid.

Arrived at Kunning Palace.

The palace maid remained calm.

Zhu Xianyue was tired like a dog.

The Queen is reading a book.

Upon hearing that Zhu Xianyue had arrived, he hurriedly invited her in.

Zhu Xianyue was panting with exhaustion.

"May the Empress...bless you..."

It's not even proper to greet.

The Queen had a very bad impression of Zhu Xianyue the first time she saw her.

but.

There aren’t many blind people who would fall in love with the prince.

What's more, she is a little beauty.

Although a little silly.

But at least she is a woman.

Oh... just make do with it.

"Sit down."

Later, the queen discovered that Zhu Xianyue was weak simply because of lack of exercise.

The queen first asked some odds and ends, such as how old Zhu Xianyue was and what she liked to do.

Zhu Xianyue answered truthfully.

"Like...sleeping."

My lady, I am very lazy.

Queen: “…” Well, that’s good, you can keep your composure.

Zhu Xianyue naturally knew the purpose of the Queen asking her to come.

She just said that.

She has to bear the consequences.

Well...if the Queen dislikes her, she won't have to marry the Crown Prince.

but.

This also requires method.

The Queen cannot be allowed to implicate the Zhu family.

Finding a compromise...

Strategizing...

Forget it, I don’t have the brains for that.

Just tell the truth.

I guess the queen is not an unreasonable person.

The queen then asked Zhu Xianyue what books she had read.

Zhu Xianyue chattered off a long list of travelogues.

On the contrary, things related to women, such as "Needlework", were not mentioned.

Unexpectedly, it was exactly what the Queen wanted.

My future daughter-in-law, you and I like the same thing!

We are so destined to meet!

The queen kept Zhu Xianyue for lunch.

The food in the palace is so delicious.

Zhu Xianyue ate with relish.

Queen: "Yue'er, do you want to eat such delicious meals every day?"

Zhu Xianyue: "?"

Queen: "Marry the prince and you'll eat better than what's here."

Zhu Xianyue almost choked.

After lunch, Zhu Xianyue was carried out of the palace in a sedan chair given by the empress. She was also rewarded with a large box of gold, silver and jewelry.

Return to Zhu Mansion.

Zhu Xianyue was not stingy either. She picked out the things inside and gave them to her stepmother and Zhu Xianzhen to embellish her dowry.

The stepmother was so moved that she was confused.

Zhu Xianzhen saw through everything - this must be something my money-loving sister doesn't like, so she gave it to us.

Little ungrateful bastard.

When Zhu Xianzhen came out of Zhu Xianyue's residence, she saw her fifth sister Zhu Xianyun walking around the corner.

Zhu Xianyun and Zhu Xianyue were both concubines' daughters.

The difference is that Zhu Xianyue's biological mother died early, so she was raised by her stepmother.

Zhu Xianyun was raised by her biological mother and aunt.

The sisters seldom see each other.

Zhu Xianzhen doesn't like Zhu Xianyun very much either.

Zhu Xianyun is very polite and will call her "sister" when she sees her. She does nothing wrong, but she is weak and will be out of breath after just a few words, so people have to be accommodating to her.

But for some reason, Zhu Xianzhen just couldn't like her.

She would rather love Zhu Xianyue, the ungrateful little bastard, more.

Now Zhu Xianyue came out of the palace, but did not share the things with Zhu Xianyun.

In fact, Zhu Xianyun couldn't say much.

Zhu Xianyue and Zhu Xianzhen grew up together and were protected by their stepmother, so their relationship with them was naturally deeper than Zhu Xianyun's.

Zhu Xianzhen didn't know why Zhu Xianyun was feeling so uncomfortable.

It was as if the whole world had bullied her.

Zhu Xianzhen deliberately took the golden bell she had taken from Zhu Xianyue and walked past Zhu Xianyun while shaking it.

Zhu Xianyun was so angry that she tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand.
