Chapter 57 Sisters Are Harmonious

Seeing the second princess like this, the eldest princess joked, "I see that the second sister hasn't been out for a long time. It's time for her to go out for a walk. Maybe she can meet some good boys."

The second princess smiled bitterly: "Don't tease me, sister. Besides, I don't have the freedom that you have."

After hearing this, the eldest princess seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Concubine Chen and Concubine Lan. "Madam Chen, Madam Lan, the weather is getting warmer now. The Qin family has a garden in the capital, which is particularly elegant. It was tidied up long ago. How about I hold a poetry meeting there?"

His eyes were shining as he looked at Concubine Chen, but Concubine Chen was hesitant.

I have been out of the palace twice before, and each time I encountered assassination attempts. For Wanwan's safety, isn't it safer for me to stay in the palace?

Lu Xingwan next to him clapped his hands on the table in delight.

[Okay, okay, Wanwan loves to visit the garden. I hope big sister will invite many people when the time comes. Wanwan loves the hustle and bustle.]

[My mother also likes to be lively! I like my older sister the most! ]

[When the time comes, my mother will definitely pester those young ladies from official families to listen to their gossip. It will be interesting, really interesting! ]

After hearing what Wanwan said, Concubine Chen stopped worrying too much and told Chu Yan to be more careful. She made a decision right away: "Wanwan and I will definitely be there. What about Sister Lan?"

Seeing them like this, Concubine Lan just smiled and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your orders."

The eldest princess stood up and took the second princess' hand and walked out: "Madam Chen and Madam Lan, please sit down first. Xingxue and I will go and ask for the emperor's order."

Before Concubine Chen could say anything, the eldest princess had already walked out.

I could only sigh: "You are still so impetuous."

The second prince smiled and said, "We brothers and sisters really like the character of the eldest sister. It is rare to be born in the royal family and have such innocence."

"Our Second Prince is very mature despite his young age." Concubine Chen couldn't help but joke.

The second prince scratched his head in embarrassment: "Madam Chen, please don't tease me."

Concubine Chen Gui then turned to look at Concubine Lan: "From what I saw of Xingxue, it seems that the last marriage incident dealt her a heavy blow, and she seems to have changed her personality."

"I'm wondering why you all came together today. Xingruo and Xingxue have always been at odds with each other, but today I saw that they were getting along well with each other." Lan Fei was also puzzled.

Concubine Chen then told Concubine Lan about what happened to the eldest princess and the second princess along the way, and Concubine Lan felt quite distressed.

"It's helpless to have a mother like this." Concubine Lan sighed.

"Speaking of Shupin, I have something else to discuss with you." Concubine Chen seemed to suddenly remember something. "Xingxue is old enough now, and it seems that Shupin is not very caring. Why don't I talk to His Majesty and find a reason to hold a palace banquet in the future and invite all the young men and young ladies to come to the palace to look for Xingxue."

Concubine Lan nodded and said, "That's a good idea. If you need anything from me, just let me know."

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that Wanwan seemed to be dozing off, they said goodbye and left Yanhe Palace.

As for the eldest princess, she pulled the second princess to the outside of Yu's study. Meng Quande, who was serving outside, was also stunned. The two princesses used to quarrel every three days and make a big noise every five days. His Majesty had judged many cases for them. Later, his Majesty got tired of it and hid away. The two princesses quarreled in front of Meng Quande.

So when Meng Quande saw these two people, he felt frightened.

I thought that the eldest princess would be done with this matter after leaving the palace, but I didn't expect that the eldest princess just returned to the palace today and actually caused a quarrel in front of His Majesty.

"Eunuch Meng, is father here?" the eldest princess asked in a sweet voice.

Meng Quande was in a difficult situation for the moment. If he let the two princesses in, His Majesty would have another headache today.

"But Xing Ruo is here, come in!" Without waiting for Meng Quande to react, the Emperor of Great Chu spoke.

Meng Quande had no choice but to lead the two princesses in.

The Emperor of Great Chu had only heard about Xing Ruo's pregnancy two days ago, so he was naturally happy. She was in a hurry when she entered the palace last time and was unable to say much. He quickly raised his head to take a good look at his precious daughter, but saw his eldest daughter and second daughter coming in together.

I had a headache at the moment, but I pretended to be happy: "You two came together?"

"Father, I was the one who brought my second sister here." The eldest princess answered readily.

The Emperor of Great Chu could not help but feel a pang in his heart, as in the past quarrels between the two of them always started with this sentence.

"Father, the weather is good today. Qin Xing's house has a courtyard with a unique scenery. I would like to hold a banquet there in a few days." After the two of them greeted each other, the eldest princess asked.

The Great Chu Emperor saw that it was not a quarrel between the two, so he quickly responded, "Of course, you can make the decision on this small matter yourself."

"I was thinking that I would like to ask Empress Chen to go as well, as well as Empress Lan. If there are other empresses in the palace who want to go, can we let them go as well?"

As if she was afraid that the Great Chu Emperor would not agree, she said, "I will ask my brother to send me more guards to ensure the safety of the ladies."

The Great Chu Emperor thought for a moment and said, "Just let Concubine Chen Gui and Concubine Lan go, and forget about the others."

The eldest princess happily agreed.

He suddenly thought of the second princess beside him, pulled her arm, and looked at the Emperor of Chu again.

The Emperor of Great Chu thought that she had forgotten about the Second Princess beside her. When he saw her pulling Xingxue again, he couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Seeing His Majesty like this, Meng Quande, who was standing by, also tried to suppress his smile and stepped forward to speak for the Great Chu Emperor: "Princesses, Your Majesty has some political affairs to attend to later. Why don't you let me accompany you..."

The eldest princess then realized that the master and servant had the wrong idea.

"Hahahaha..." He laughed out loud, "So father is actually worried about me. I don't have anything else to do, I just want my second sister to go to the poetry meeting with me."

The Emperor of Great Chu was puzzled when he saw the eldest princess like this, but since the two of them did not make a fuss, he did not ask any more questions and just quickly agreed.

Then he asked, "I heard from your Madam Chen that you are pregnant?"

"To reply to my father, it has been two months." The eldest princess was happy that her mission had been accomplished today.

The second princess was surprised and said, "My sister is pregnant. Am I going to be an aunt?"

"You must take good care of her then." The eldest princess gently took the second princess's hand and placed it on her belly.

Now it was the turn of the Emperor of Great Chu to be stunned. He and Meng Quande looked at each other, and both of them were filled with disbelief.

"You two..."

"Father," the eldest princess said, "I was young and ignorant before, but now I have grown up!"

The second princess also bowed and said, "I was ignorant before, so I contradicted you many times. It was my fault."

The Great Chu Emperor leaned back and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "That's great, it's great that you sisters can do this."
