"Ye Xinxin, we are not silver bills, we can't like everyone."
"Besides, you stole my life and my family, why should I like you?"
"As for Jingjing, when she needed someone to speak up for her the most, you not only didn't help her, but instead chose to let her bear the blame in silence. Why would she like you?"
"You don't have to act so aggrieved. Everyone in the capital knows that the Ye family loves you the most."
"Even though your parents did so many excessive things to me, the Ye family still took good care of you."
"If you know how to be grateful, please consider that the Ye family has raised you for many years and don't throw the Ye family's reputation on the ground for others to trample on at the palace gate."
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she ignored Ye Xinxin who looked stunned, and walked forward with Li Jingjing in her hand.
When the two passed each other, Ye Xiaoxiao whispered something in Ye Xinxin's ear.
"Ye Xinxin, if you are smart, you should understand the principle that everyone prospers and everyone suffers together."
Ye Xinxin was stunned and was about to say something when Mrs. Ye heard the voice and immediately turned around.
"Xinxin, Xiaoxiao, what are you sisters talking about? Hurry up and catch up, the palace banquet is about to begin."
After Mrs. Ye said this, those who were pointing fingers at others suddenly didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Ye with some concern. Mrs. Ye smiled faintly at her and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Li Jingjing didn't want to see Ye Xinxin, so she said something to Ye Xiaoxiao and left with Mrs. Li.
When there was no one around, Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Xinxin with some displeasure.
"Xinxin, this is the imperial palace, not the Ye family. Remember what mother told you."
Ye Xinxin's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded reluctantly. Madam Ye stopped looking at her and walked quickly towards the palace.
It took the three of them about a cup of tea to finally arrive at the hall where the palace banquet was held.
But as soon as the three of them walked in, they heard people talking about them.
Mrs. Ye's face looked a little ugly, but after all, she had seen a lot of storms and waves, so she quickly calmed down.
When Mrs. Qin saw them coming, she immediately went to greet them anxiously.
Seeing that Mrs. Qin seemed to have something to say, Mrs. Ye spoke to the two people behind her.
"You two, go find some sisters you know to play with first."
"The palace banquet is about to begin, so don't go too far."
After Mrs. Ye finished speaking, she thought for a moment, fearing that no one would talk to Ye Xiaoxiao, so she looked at Qin Xue behind Mrs. Qin.
"Xiaoxue, this is your cousin Xiaoxiao's first time attending a palace banquet. Would you mind showing her around?"
Mrs. Ye knew that Ye Xiaoxiao and Qin Xue got along quite well at the last family reunion banquet, so she entrusted Ye Xiaoxiao to Qin Xue.
Qin Xue didn't want to stay with Madam Qin in the first place, so she was naturally happy to have the chance to go out and play.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Xue'er will take good care of my cousin."
After Qin Xue finished speaking, she pulled Ye Xiaoxiao and was about to leave. Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Ye Xinxin.
"Would you like to come with us? Don't act like we're bullying you."
Ye Xinxin originally wanted to embarrass Ye Xiaoxiao, but after being beaten by Ye Xiaoxiao at the palace gate, she temporarily gave up.
Ye Xiaoxiao was right, she still needed the Ye family now, and more importantly, she had to meet Prince Yu as soon as possible today.
Seeing that Ye Xiaoxiao and Qin Xue were both looking at her, Ye Xinxin refused awkwardly.
"No, I have some little sisters whom I haven't seen for a long time, so I won't go with you."
Qin Xue didn't like Ye Xinxin very much in the first place. When she heard that she didn't want to be with her, she was not angry but very happy instead.
"Cousin Xiaoxiao, since she has friends to meet, let's not disturb her. I'll take you to a fun place."
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and nodded, then left with Tianxuan and Qin Xue.
After several people left one after another, Mrs. Qin took Mrs. Ye aside and started talking to her.
"You've been busy these days, and I haven't had time to visit you."
"I heard that Xinxin was given to Prince Yu as a concubine by His Majesty. Is this true?"
Madam Ye nodded, and Madam Qin looked at Madam Ye with some concern.
"Although it's Xinxin's own fault, isn't this concubine a bit too low?"
Madam Ye shook her head. "Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. We can only obey."
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin glanced around and then whispered to Madam Ye.
"I heard that Fan'er and the Crown Prince have been very close recently. Your eldest brother asked me to quietly remind you."
"But don't let His Majesty become suspicious of your Ye family because of the Crown Prince's matter."
Mrs. Ye did not dare to tell Mrs. Qin about Ye Pengcheng and others' speculations, so she could only nod.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. The general and I are well aware of this matter."
"This is not the place to talk. After Rong'er gets married, I will go to your house and explain it to you in person."
Seeing this, Mrs. Qin didn't say anything more, and the two of them started chatting casually about family matters.
Qin Xue and Ye Xiaoxiao had just left when they were seen by Li Jingjing who was not far away.
After she said something to Madam Li, she found an excuse to catch up.
"Xiaoxiao, wait for me."
Ye Xiaoxiao turned around and saw Li Jingjing walking towards them.
As soon as Li Jingjing walked over, she saw Qin Xue next to Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, who is this little girl? She's so cute."
When Ye Xiaoxiao heard this, she pulled Qin Xue to Li Jingjing.
"Jingjing, this is Qin Xue, the daughter of the Duke's family, and also my cousin."
