Xu Jinyi joked about what she had just said about emptying his warehouse, and Grandpa Youfu's dazed look.
The emperor smiled dotingly and picked up the cakes on the table to feed her: "If you like it, move them all over. They are all yours anyway."
Looking at the close relationship between the two, Lord Xu was shocked. He didn't expect that his daughter had such ability.
The emperor was so happy that he was willing to give her all his private collection and even personally serve her food.
"Father, is my second sister at home?" Xu Jinyi asked.
Lord Xu's face froze, then he replied, "Very good, she is of marriageable age, and Dad is planning to look for a few families for her."
Xu Jinyi was puzzled: "What about the eldest sister? Isn't she a year older than the second sister? Is there a promising family?"
The Marquis glanced at the Emperor and began to make a plan: "You know, your sister has a crush on the Duke's Prince. Your mother has gone to the Duke's wife to test her opinion these past two days, but I don't know if it will work out."
How could Xu Jinyi not know that her father said this because he wanted the emperor to grant a marriage between Xu Yurou and the prince because of her relationship?
She had no intention of helping Xu Yurou.
"Father, since you haven't found a match for my second sister yet, why not let her come to the palace and stay with me for a while?"
"Your Majesty is always busy, and your daughter is getting bored in the palace. Would it be okay for you to ask your second sister to stay in the palace for a few days?"
"Your Majesty, is it okay?" Xu Jinyi asked the emperor next to him again.
"certainly."
There was no reason for the emperor not to agree to this small request.
Xu Nianhuan, who was kneeling in the Buddhist temple and copying the Diamond Sutra as punishment, had a sad face. He didn't know when this hard time would end.
Xu Nianhuan, who was still grieving over his endless hard days the moment before, jumped up with joy the next moment.
"Really? My third sister asked me to go to the palace to accompany her. I'll go. Quickly take me to pack my things."
Xu Nianhuan looked very happy. No matter why her third sister asked her to enter the palace, she didn't want to stay in the mansion at all.
If this continues, not only will my knees be broken, but my hands will also be broken.
In the hall, Xu Yurou frowned: "Dad, why did the third sister let the second sister enter the palace?"
"Dad doesn't know either, but it shouldn't be a bad thing." Then Lord Xu told him what he had seen today.
Upon learning that the emperor loved Xu Jinyi so much, Xu Yurou's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (川).
A feeling of regret suddenly welled up in my heart, thinking that I would have given up my place as a concubine.
So now Xu Jinyi’s good days are hers.
That honorable position belongs to her.
As a result, now she has to kneel down and salute whenever she sees Xu Jinyi.
"Dad, Rou'er also wants to enter the palace, is that okay? I also want to go to the palace and see the world."
Lord Xu paused and said, "Then you can go with me and take a look!"
In this way, the two sisters entered the palace together.
When Xu Jinyi learned that both of them had entered the palace, she was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything. This was better.
Xu Jinyi sat in front of the mirror and wore whichever piece of jewelry was most expensive.
He put on the best things and wore the most gorgeous clothes before meeting them.
Looking at Xu Jinyi, who was walking slowly towards her with an air of nobility, Xu Yurou felt jealous.
Xu Nianhuan was heartless and had completely forgotten the rules he had learned: "Third sister."
Xu Yurou politely saluted Xu Jinyi and said, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Xu Nianhuan realized that he had forgotten the rules again. He was so happy to see Xu Jinyi that he forgot them.
He immediately knelt down and followed suit.
But Xu Jinyi helped her up: "Sis, when did you become so polite to me? No need to bow, sister, you should get up too."
Xu Yurou was unhappy, but she felt better when she thought that although Xu Jinyi was favored now, there would be a day when she would grow old and lose her beauty and be disliked by the emperor.
Moreover, the emperor is infertile, so Xu Jinyi will never have her own children in this life. Thinking of this, Xu Yurou is no longer jealous.
The news of Xu Jinyi's pregnancy has been blocked. The Queen Mother said that it will be announced at the birthday banquet.
So people outside have no idea.
"Third sister, is this the palace you live in? It's so gorgeous!"
Walking into the inner room, Xu Nianhuan was dazzled by the luminous pearls all around and the luxurious furnishings in the room.
"Well, these are all gifts from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Do you like them? When you get married, I will give some to you as a dowry."
She still remembered Xu Nianhuan's friendship with her when she first entered the palace.
"Then is the Imperial Concubine trying to support me?"
"That's fine. I'll see you off when you get married." Xu Jinyi said with a serious expression.
“Really?”
"How could it be fake?" Xu Jinyi glanced at her.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Xu Nianhuan and Xu Yurou were stunned, and quickly stood up straight, bowing when they saw the emperor come in.
Xu Jinyi walked over and took his arm: "Are you done?"
"Well, stand up. You are the Imperial Concubine's family. Now that you have entered the palace, you should spend more time with the Imperial Concubine."
During the meal, the emperor did not eat here in order not to make the sisters uncomfortable.
He also asked Xu Jinyi to spend time with her sisters in the evening and he would not come tonight.
The emperor has always had his meals in Siyu Palace, so the small kitchen in Siyu Palace prepares dozens of dishes for every meal.
Of course, two people can’t eat that much, but the leftovers will not be wasted and will be given to the servants.
Don’t feel ashamed of having leftovers. These dishes were served to the emperor and the imperial concubine using public chopsticks.
There were some dishes that they hadn't even touched. If they weren't rotated, everyone would have wanted to grab them.
Xu Nianhuan looked like she had never eaten meat in her life, and the way she ate didn't look like a lady from a noble family at all.
Xu Jinyi laughed at what she saw.
It formed a sharp contrast with Xu Yurou beside her.
Xia Xue served the food to Xu Nianhuan very quickly, and the two of them cooperated seamlessly.
"Don't eat so fast, there are plenty of dishes." Xu Jinyi said while eating the stewed soup.
"I can't slow down. I can eat a whole cow now. You don't know..." Xu Nianhuan suddenly caught sight of Xu Yurou and stopped what he was about to say.
The two of them were as close as sisters from the same mother, which made Xu Yurou somewhat embarrassed.
After eating for a while, Xu Yurou said she was full, so Xu Jinyi arranged for someone to take her downstairs to rest.
As soon as Xu Yurou left, Xu Nianhuan couldn't control her mouth anymore.
"Third sister, you don't know how hard I've been going through these past few months." Xu Nianhuan talked about the difficult life in the Marquis' Mansion these days like pouring beans.
"It's all my fault that I got you into trouble. If I hadn't acted on my own, you wouldn't have been punished by father."
Xu Nianhuan waved his hand: "I don't blame you. Father doesn't like me anyway. If he wants to punish me, he can find any excuse."
"By the way, Third Sister, why did you suddenly invite me into the palace this time? Is someone bullying you in the palace?"
