Chapter 63 Who can hear your heart?

Facts have proved that Zhang Shui'er has the potential to be a playboy.

Lu Xinran explained the rules in detail, and after the three of them played only two rounds, she grasped the essence of the game.

The three of them officially started playing, and the scene inexplicably became extremely lively.

Lu Xinran didn't think there was anything wrong with peeking at her opponent's cards, and her leaked thoughts let the other two know what cards everyone had in their hands.

Lu Xinran couldn't understand why she was the one who lost the most, even though she had been playing cards for so many years and could secretly know what cards they had.

There was no more space on her face to put the note!

The queen woke up and heard the noise. When she entered the room, she saw three little girls playing.

Hearing Lu Xinran's confused mumbling, and seeing Lu Xinlan and Zhang Shuier making faces, she stood at the door and just felt how great it was to be young.

When she was young, she had been as happy as they were.

At that time, she had no family burden and had not experienced the pain of being someone else's wife. She was so carefree.

"The Queen."

After the three of them finished fighting, they jokingly put another piece of paper on Lu Xinran's face. Only then did they see the queen who appeared at the door out of nowhere.

Lu Xinran aggrievedly lifted the note in front of her eyes and saw the person clearly, "My queen, do you want to play cards with us? Can you help me win? They teamed up to bully me!"

Unfortunately, she couldn't find any evidence of their partnership.

So angry!

The queen smiled and waved her hands: "You guys play, I'll just watch from the side."

"Your Majesty, the eunuch next to His Majesty came over and said he wanted to summon the eldest daughter of the Lu family for questioning."

The three people who heard the sound immediately put down the cards in their hands. Lu Xinran hurriedly tore off the note on Lu Xinlan's face and helped her tidy up her appearance.

[Why did you call your sister over for no reason? 】

[Could it be that the Emperor has taken a fancy to her?! When he said this morning that he wanted to select a girl from an aristocratic family, wasn't he saying this specifically for her to hear? ]

[But, didn’t he complain about her poor family background yesterday? ]

Listening to her worried voice, Lu Xinlan vaguely guessed the emperor's intention of looking for her.

She smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, wait for me here."

Lu Xinran watched her leave with the eunuch worriedly, then lowered his head and picked up all the cards on the table.

The queen looked at her and felt curious.

"Don't you resent her for taking your identity?"

Lu Xinran was stunned for a moment. Of course, the original body was resentful, but what the original body wanted more was equal care.

But no one knew where the two unwilling souls had gone, and she didn't want to inherit that hatred and turn herself into a villain.

But she couldn't say that to the Queen, so she didn't reveal anything in her heart and only spoke in a low voice.

"I should be holding a grudge, but she wasn't the one who replaced us, and she was very good to me. She was the best to me in the entire Lu family, so I can't hold a grudge against her.

"My lady, it must be ugly to hold a grudge against someone, and to take revenge on someone you have to do a lot of things, I don't want that.

"I want to look forward and make my future life better, so I don't want to bear a grudge against her. I want to live happily with her."

Although these words were 70% false, her tone was sincere, which made the smile on the queen's lips gradually freeze. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and after a long while she laughed at herself.

"It turns out that I am not as good as a little girl."

She didn't even bear grudges for having her life robbed, so why should she resent the emperor?

Without love, how can there be hate?

In the Wenhua Palace, the emperor stood with his hands behind his back. He did not turn around when he heard footsteps behind him, the rustling sound of clothes, and then the sound of knees kneeling on the ground.

The young girl's beautiful voice rang out, "Your Majesty, I have seen you."

"Well, get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The rustling sound was heard again. The emperor looked at the plaque above the hall for a long time before asking.

“Who can hear this voice?”

"Your Majesty, I only know that the court officials and some of their families can hear it, but the concubines and servants cannot. As for why some family members can hear it and some cannot, I have not had time to find out."

"How long will it take?"

The emperor's voice was deep, without any fluctuation.

Lu Xinlan clenched his fist again, "My two cousins ​​in the mansion couldn't hear it before, but they could hear it on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. I was planning to test it after returning home yesterday."

As a result, after coming out of Zuichunlou, he went to the palace with Lu Xinran.

So many things happened in the past few days that she was overwhelmed.

"I will now order them to be brought into the palace."

After the emperor said this, he had her taken to a side hall to wait for the sisters Lu Xintong and Lu Xinling to enter the palace.

It was not until dusk that the two sisters, who had been hurriedly summoned into the palace, appeared in a side hall of the Wenhua Palace.

Both of them had panic on their faces, not knowing why they were called into the palace.

Lu Xinlan wanted to ask about the family situation, but this was the emperor's palace, and there were eunuchs and palace maids outside the door. She didn't know if anyone was eavesdropping on their conversation, so she just patted the back of their hands soothingly and asked softly.

"Xintong, what did you and Xinling do in the half month before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"

"We? We didn't do anything. Mom was always worried that something would go wrong at our birthday party, so she forced us to practice our etiquette every day."

Thinking about that half month, the two sisters almost forgot that this was the imperial palace and wanted to complain a lot.

Lu Xinlan pursed his lips and said, "Think about it carefully again and recall everything."

"We?" Lu Xinling glanced at her elder sister. "Mom gave me and my third sister a piece of land and a shop each. Is that enough? She said that we are getting older and should start learning how to take care of our dowry."

"A farmhouse?"

Lu Xinlan's heart moved slightly, thinking back to the first time he met Zhang Shui'er, when she was surrounded by girls from small official families.

That time, it seemed that only Zhang Shuier heard Lu Xinran's thoughts.

"My dear sister, can you tell me where these farms and shops are and how much they are worth?"

Lu Xinling glanced at her elder sister again, and when she saw Lu Xintong nod slightly, she said, "Mother said these should be worth about five thousand taels, and she will give us some more when we are older."

Five thousand taels!

After getting the answer, Lu Xinlan hugged his two sisters tightly.

"Someone will escort you out of the palace soon, don't be afraid."

As she was about to report to the emperor, Lu Xintong anxiously grabbed her wrist.

"Eldest sister, when will you and second sister come home? Grandma is sick, third uncle has been sent to prison, and the whole family is in chaos. When will you come back?"

When Lu Xinlan heard that Pei was ill, his heart suddenly tightened. Just as he was about to ask her what happened, he heard the voice of Eunuch Lai Fu coming from outside the palace.

"Miss Lu, His Majesty has summoned you."

"Yes, Lord Lao Fufu, I will come right over."

She held Lu Xintong's hand with a little force and said, "Go back and tell your mother how hard it has been for her these past few days."
