Little did they know that the Fifth House was also very jealous of Yurong. The Fifth Old Lady was different from the Fourth House's Old Lady. If the Fourth House's Old Lady was a troublemaker, the Fifth Old Lady could control all three sons in her hands. All of her daughters-in-law were very filial to her, including the royal family's daughter, Princess Li, who was obedient to her.

The Fifth Elder Lady embraced Yu Lian and said, "There is no need to say anything else. Yu Lian is the most important person in our family now."

Her three daughters-in-law all nodded.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, Li Junjun has Yulian as her daughter, so she naturally has more say. "In my opinion, our princess does not like Yuzhen's mother's status. Yuwei is still a child at heart. The only thing she is afraid of is that Rongjie will get the moon first because she is close to him. She is so beautiful and such a romantic person. Master Zhao is a person that the princess trusts the most. It is not good for our sister Wei."

Everyone present knew that Yang Zhao was second to none. The Fourth House was already in such a state of decline at the time. It was only by sheer luck that Yang Zhao saved the lives of the then Princess Han and the young prince, so he was able to become a fifth-rank military commander. His son is still just a supervisor, and his family background is far inferior to that of the Fifth House.

Therefore, the focus of Princess Li is on Yurong. This child is just like a golden phoenix that flew out of a sparrow's nest. The fourth old lady was not good-looking when she was young, and the fourth old lady also had a squint and squinting look. As for Yang Zhao and his wife, Yang Zhao was slightly decent, but Zhu's daughter was plump, and except for better skin, her appearance was ordinary.

But it was such a family that actually gave birth to a girl like Yurong. Apart from her stunning appearance, she was also good at poetry and prose, had a quick wit, and was better than others in terms of housekeeping and feeding. Princess Li was particularly jealous of her.

I think that child would be favored by the powerful Zhang family at the first sight. The Crown Prince of Han was at the age of youth. How could a girl like Yurong, who was so delicate, graceful, and intellectual, not be favored by the Crown Prince?

The Fifth Elder Lady looked grim. Seeing that no one had any good ideas, she had to leave. At night, she quietly called Yulian over and said, "Good child, remember this: in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken."

"Grandma..." Yu Lian looked at the small porcelain bottle in her hand with some suspicion.

After all, she is still young and not that calm.

The Fifth Old Lady instructed, "Your grandfather will retire next year, and your father will have to endure for who knows how many more years in the Secretary's Office. The throne is just around the corner. If we don't seize the opportunity, do you want your grandfather to live his whole life under the control of that old ruffian from the Fourth House? Besides, you have to be inferior to Yurong yourself."

After hearing this, Yulian said seriously, "Please rest assured, grandma, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

She is a person who will give her all to anything she sets her mind to.

No one can become a stepping stone on her path.

**

Looking at the gorgeous canopy, precious horses, and the eight-treasure carriage, Yurong knew the wealth and grandeur of Prince Han's palace. She lifted her skirt and got on the carriage. Four girls went with her, and they pulled two carriages respectively. The older girls Yuzhen and Yulian were in one carriage, and she and Yuwei were in another.

As soon as she got on, Yu Wei started chattering, "This carriage is so wide, it looks like a small house to me, and the food and other things in this carriage are even better than those in my house."

Yurong then smiled: "That's for sure, the Han Palace is different from other palaces."

"Sister Rong, how are your birthday preparations going?" Yu Wei asked in a low voice.

This time, the four of them went to the Han Palace under the pretext of celebrating the Han Queen's birthday. Regardless of whether it was a pretext or not, they had to send gifts. Even if they were not chosen, they could not be rude.

So Yurong nodded: "Of course I am prepared, what about you? With a grandmother like Madam Lu to plan for you, what are you afraid of?"

After she said that, Yuwei smiled embarrassedly. Long before they were ready to go to King Han's palace, her father had brought back a lot of red foreign cloth. The third room specially asked the embroiderer to embroider a peony picture. This embroidery picture was exactly what she wanted to give to Queen Han. Now she was just curious about what Yurong gave her.

If she had not been forced to die by her tribe members, Yurong would definitely still trust her tribe members as she did before. After that incident, she knew that the people who are the worst to you in this world are actually the tribe members who always say that we all rise and fall together.

After the two of them sat down, a woman with a long face, yellow skin, and sparse eyebrows got on the carriage. Her voice was also light: "Let me tell you, young ladies, I am the housekeeper inside, known as Madam Zhuo."

The housekeeper is the aunt, not the wife, and it seems that she has never been married.

Yuwei has always been outgoing and friendly, but at this moment she did not dare to say much. She just shouted "Hello, Madam Zhuo" together with Yurong.

Madam Zhuo glanced at the two of them and saw Yurong paused for a moment before repeating, "Are you Yang Dianjun's daughter?"

"Yes, my father was favored by the princess and was appointed as the military commander in the palace. Madam Zhuo, do you know my father?" Yurong glanced at Madam Zhuo.

She smiled faintly: "Everyone knows Yang Dianjun."

Yurong just smiled but didn't talk to her. Before she figured out her position, she didn't need to please anyone, she just treated everyone with courtesy. Yuwei thought to herself, Sister Rong's father must have made friends in the palace. Grandmother is really a fool. She insisted that I join in the fun. If others are elected but she is not, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

When she was in a bad mood, it showed on her face.

Fortunately, Yurong grew up with her and understood her, so she took out a newly made sachet from her sleeve, and Yuwei smiled.

The Yang family was not far from Prince Han's palace, and they left early, so they arrived there by noon.

After Madam Zhuo helped her and Yuwei down, Yuzhen and Yulian also got off another carriage. The four of them greeted each other again. Yuzhen was the oldest among the four and ranked fourth in the clan. Yulian was the fifth. Yurong hurried forward to greet them, and there was no time to reminisce. The four of them took sedan chairs and passed through several gates before they arrived at Princess Han's place.

"This is the Taiping Garden where the princess lives. Come on, the princess has been waiting for you for a long time."

Even Yuzhen, who was a little older, didn't dare to say anything. Yulian followed Yuzhen silently. Yuwei was even more afraid and held Yurong's sleeve all the way.

It is no wonder that they have never seen the world. In this Taiping Garden, the curtains are decorated with flying phoenixes and glittering jewels. Both sides of the arch bridge are made of diamond gauze, and colorful crystal lamps are hung on both sides of the stone railings. It is magnificent and full of artistic conception.

When they reached the door, an old servant came out to replace Madam Zhuo and the others, and then welcomed them in.

The four of them were already dazzled, and after standing still, none of them dared to act recklessly.

After entering the ceremonial gate, I arrived at the main hall, where I saw a plaque with four large characters "溫恭淑慎" (warm, respectful, prudent and cautious) inscribed on it. Then, a group of elegantly dressed people came out.

The leading woman was not adorned as Yurong had imagined. Instead, she wore a fine brocade dress of Yunyan pattern. She was very dignified and now was no more than thirty years old. She looked like an extremely pretty beauty.

After the servants brought the cushions, they paid their respects.

Princess Han smiled and asked them to stand up: "You are all my nieces, there is no need to be so reserved, come forward quickly and let me take a look."

Because Yuzhen was her niece and the oldest, she brought everyone forward. Everyone was looking at them. Princess Han took the lead and said, "Yuzhen looks more and more like a grown-up girl. I heard from your father that you usually like to argue with each other. It just so happens that Lingbo County Lord is in need of a companion recently. I will ask her to come later. You can go with her. You two cousins ​​can get closer."

But after just a few words, Yu Zhen's face turned pale and hesitantly answered yes.

Yuzhen relied on the favor of her biological mother, Aunt Mei, and she was proud of being the daughter of the eldest son of the Shangzhuguo family. She did not take the girls from the side branches seriously and never said a word to them. People were used to seeing her arrogant and overbearing Jing'er, and never thought that she would be so scared today.

The Yang family knew a little about the story. They said that the eldest daughter of the old man in the eldest house, Shangguan, had two sons and three daughters. Among the three, the eldest daughter was married first, and the youngest daughter was the most beautiful. She even secretly married the King of Han who had not yet been granted a title. However, Empress Shen valued the second daughter, praised her for her noble character, and insisted on making the second daughter of the eldest house the principal wife.

But the Third Aunt never gave up. When Princess Han gave birth to the Crown Prince Lee Hoon, she had a difficult delivery. Old Lady Shangguan always loved her youngest daughter, and knew that the youngest daughter was very much favored by King Han, so she brought her youngest daughter over and did not allow King Han to have any contact with her. It was even said that she was waiting for Princess Han to pass away so that she could remarry immediately.

Unexpectedly, not only did Princess Han not die in childbirth, but she gave birth to a boy when the royal physician predicted that she might give birth to a girl.

From then on, Princess Han firmly sat on the throne of princess and her position was unshakable.

But because the Third Aunt had an affair with King Han, she soon became pregnant and was sent to King Han's palace in a sedan chair. She lived for five or six years and died of depression. The head of Lingbo County was the daughter of the Third Aunt.

Yuzhen's biological mother, Aunt Mei, was the trusted maid of the Third Aunt back then.

It would be strange if the Korean princess liked it.

She originally thought that Princess Han would pretend to be indifferent and then find an excuse to get rid of her, but she never expected her to be so straightforward.

Perhaps this is the superior.

I could only hear Yulian answering questions in front of me. "My niece is good at music. She has been learning the qin since she was young. I can't say she is very good at it. It's just for killing time in her spare time. She should read "Nu Yi" and "Nu Ze" at home, or follow her grandmother and mother to do needlework."

This is probably the most appropriate answer, Yurong thought to herself, and it was indeed a good answer.

In an instant, Princess Han saw her, her eyes still shining, and then they dimmed again. She smiled gently, "Your father is a strong and rough man, but he gave birth to a beautiful girl like you."

Yurong bowed quickly, "You are too kind. Only after seeing you did I know what a beautiful woman you are. I only hope to serve you and repay your kindness to our family."

Princess Han smiled, "You are a girl who finally has a chance to speak."

Seeing that Yurong won the princess's favor with just a few words, the people around her were busy flattering her. One maid even said, "Everyone says that my niece Xiao Gu, I think Sixth Miss Rong looks a bit like you."

Yurong then pulled Yuwei over and said, "If we talk about resemblance to the princess, our seventh sister is the most similar."

She pushed Yuwei forward, and everyone's opinion of her changed. Before, they only thought that this girl was gentle and charming, with outstanding appearance, but they never thought that she was so generous. She was not stingy in introducing her to her sisters who were also her biggest rivals.

When Yu Wei appeared in public, she had the same oval face as Princess Han, and her features were dignified and pretty. Her eyebrows and eyes were indeed very similar. She also had the liveliness that was unique to this little girl, which made everyone's eyes light up.

"You sisters have a great relationship." Princess Han said with emotion.

Yuwei was very outgoing and no longer afraid once she got familiar with someone. She immediately hugged Yurong's arm and said, "Sixth sister has been like a real sister to me since we were young. She is the kindest and most considerate person."

At this time, Yurong was standing behind him gracefully, her eyes and brows like the lilac flowers shrouded in the misty Jiangnan. It seemed that all the beautiful words could describe her without exaggeration.

Princess Han raised her eyebrows. This was quite interesting.
