Chapter 5 Discussion



She had thought it through carefully with her small brain. Based on her background and how much she was favored at home, as long as she stayed away from those princes, even if her maternal grandfather passed away in the future (and if she could get some benefits from the lazy system to make her maternal grandfather healthier, he would definitely be able to stay with her for a longer time)!

Even considering the worst-case scenario, the remaining power of Prince An's mansion was enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life. As long as she didn't make any major mistakes, who could possibly cause her trouble?

The premise is to avoid getting involved with the royal family.

After figuring things out, Jingrou rubbed her head and thought to herself: "I'm still younger than you, my brain capacity is not good enough. I'm already exhausted just from thinking about this little bit."

Because of his physical age, there are some things he simply cannot think about too deeply.

Two days later, news spread that the family had been invited to the palace. Hesheli received an invitation from the Imperial Noble Consort Niohuru.

After the Emperor's first empress, Empress Hesheli, gave birth and passed away, Empress Niohuru was made Imperial Noble Consort by Emperor Kangxi. Although she was not the Empress, her status in the palace was equivalent to that of the Empress.

However, Lady Niohuru's health wasn't very good; she had been sickly for the past two years and rarely had the opportunity to meet with the other noblewomen. But this was only in front of outsiders; for someone like Jingrou's maternal grandmother, Lady Hesheli, she naturally had to personally invite her.

Jingrou was a little resistant. When her grandmother called her over to discuss this matter, she was still thinking about how to refuse, whether she should try to coax her grandmother...

"Ding! A new mission has been launched! Please accompany your elders to the palace to see the Qing Dynasty Imperial Palace. The stay should last no less than two hours. The first mission will trigger a newbie gift pack! Please confirm whether you accept?" Even early in the morning, the lazy system's voice was full of energy.

Jingrou rolled her eyes in exasperation. Want to see the Qing Dynasty palace? Isn't that the Forbidden City? It's still perfectly fine in Beijing right now. Why not collect information from there instead of making her see it?

However, this task is not difficult at all, and there is also the temptation of a newbie gift pack.

However, the little system had given her too much. Looking at that line of newbie gift packs that looked like they were glittering with gold, Jingrou still clicked "agree" despite her reluctance.

She was still just a child. Surely the people in the palace wouldn't be so bored as to arrange a marriage for a two-year-old like her? As long as she stayed away from those princes, there shouldn't be any problems. She just needed to stay obediently by her grandmother's side!

"We can't be negligent in our invitation from the Imperial Noble Consort. When you get back, tell those boys to behave themselves..." Hesheli was still instructing her daughter-in-law.

"As for Zhuzhu, let her come with me..."

Ma'erjia's eyes sparkled. Since entering the palace meant there would be all sorts of pleasantries, having a child by her side was the best excuse to avoid those people. She was a little eager to try. "Mother, why don't you let Zhuzhu come with me? You should take good care of yourself. Entering the palace is very tiring and will take a lot of energy out of you."

Hesheli knew that she was not energetic enough and was worried that the people around her would not be able to take good care of the little one. However, Ma'erjia was not the best choice. When she thought of Ma'erjia's usual carefree nature, she was a little uneasy about entrusting her precious child to her.

"Zhuzhu...stay with Grandma..." Jingrou smiled sweetly, revealing a mouthful of tiny white teeth like little glutinous rice balls, her smile soft and sweet.

She gave Ma Jia a fawning smile.

She's not stupid. If she went with her aunt, she'd probably have to accompany her everywhere. But this time, she wanted to keep a low profile.

Anyway, the little salted fish only told her to stay in the palace for two hours, without specifying what she had to see.

She just wants to get this task done smoothly; she absolutely doesn't want to stand out!

My maternal grandmother was of a high generation and had a high status. Those who could get close to her were definitely people who knew their place. In fact, most of the time, my maternal grandmother only needed to sit there leisurely.

Being by my grandmother's side, I can enjoy some of my favorite snacks without worry. Moreover, the people around my grandmother know her best and can take the best care of her.

At this moment, Ma'erjia was already clutching her heart like Xi Shi, looking as if she couldn't resist her coquettishness.

How can a little baby be so cute and sensible?

I need to look at Zhuzhu more often! Maybe I can have such a cute and delicate little girl someday!

Although Ma'erjia felt regretful, she still readily agreed, and this gave rise to endless imagination in her mind.

However, he was simply captivated by Jingrou's sweet smile.

"Don't you dare try to use our Zhuzhu as a shield, you little rascal. We'll stay obediently by Grandmother's side..." Hesheli smiled, her eyes crinkling, a fine wrinkle spreading from the corner of her eye upwards, seemingly reaching all the way to her head full of silver hair.

Then Empress Hesheli began to communicate with her daughters-in-law about what kind of congratulatory gifts to send to the emperor.

In fact, Prince An had already started making preparations a long time ago; what they were discussing now was the extras to be included in the congratulatory gifts to be sent over.

Moreover, the Empress is in poor health, so an extra gift must be prepared for her this time when she enters the palace. Of course, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are also indispensable.

As for the other concubines in the palace, it's not worthwhile for Prince An's mansion to associate with them for the time being.

However, for the shrewd and sophisticated Hesheli, preparing a gift for them was never a difficult task, so Hesheli was never stingy in doing such things.

This is the downside of having many masters in the palace; you have to be meticulous in everything you do.

The surrounding sounds were soft and intermittent. After listening for a while, Jingrou felt sleepy and slowly leaned into her grandmother's arms.

Seeing that Jingrou had fallen asleep, the surrounding sounds immediately ceased. The aunts exchanged glances in unison, then immediately had someone take her into the inner room, where Jingrou was temporarily placed on her maternal grandmother Xiangxiang's bed.

Her little head drooped, revealing two double chins. Her little face looked like the softest French bread roll.

It takes a lot of self-control to stop oneself from reaching out and poking.

Jingrou, who was already fast asleep, had no idea how adorable her sleeping face was.
