The two looked at each other, and Tu Qingyu could clearly see the desire to praise in his eyes.
She had someone help Si Chao out of the palace, and on the way back to the palace, she reached out and patted him.
"Okay, stop pretending."
"How do you know I'm pretending?"
"Aren't you? Can that little bit of wine get you drunk?"
He walked over with a smile and put his arm around her waist. "You don't understand. Wine doesn't make you drunk, but people make themselves drunk."
He bent down and touched her belly again, "Thank you for your hard work, Qingyu."
"I think it's fine." This wasn't her first time pregnant with twins. "Why did you want to seal Qinglu today?"
He held her hand and walked back slowly, "I can see that you like this younger sister more than your biological sister."
He could even feel that she had some hostility towards her biological sister.
But it doesn't matter, he doesn't like that sister either.
"So you sealed Qinglu?"
"Of course it's not just because of this. I can't let your sister marry the prince, but I can still find a good family for her in the capital. A title is different from an imperial decree. Once a title is granted, it will belong to her for life." It was also because she had expressed her intention to find a good family for her sister in the capital some time ago.
With a title, it will be much easier to find this person.
She squeezed his palm and said, "Thank you for taking the trouble for me."
"This is what I should do." He shook my hand firmly. "Between you and me, there's no need to thank me."
Then he continued, "By the way, when will your family enter Beijing?"
"I think it will arrive in another half month."
"That's perfect. Half a month is enough time for the Clothing Bureau to prepare the imperial robes for mother and sister."
The two of them walked slowly hand in hand in the snow, the moonlight shining on them, making it seem particularly quiet and beautiful.
Another half month later, the Tu family arrived in the capital.
In addition to Tu Yuzhi and his newlywed wife, the people who came to Beijing this time included Tu Wangshi, Tu Qinglu, and Tu Qingxue and his wife who insisted on coming along.
Tu Qingxue married Zhang Jianren. Their life was not rich, but it was much better than that of ordinary people.
Tu Zhao became the prefect, and Zhang Jianren was wary of her, so naturally he did not dare to treat her eldest daughter badly.
But some ideas can never be changed. The two often disagree and have a few small quarrels, and Tu Qingxue would make a fuss about going back to her parents' home.
This phenomenon became even more obvious after Zhang Jianren failed the imperial examination.
Zhang Jianren was always wary of her sister who was the empress in the palace and her father who was the prefect, and he didn't dare to do anything to her.
This time when they came to Beijing, the Tu family didn't want to bring Tu Qingxue with them.
But Tu Qingxue went home and cried for several days, and said that even Tu Qinglu went, and if she, her biological sister, didn't go, how would outsiders view Tu Qingyu.
Only then was Tu Wang persuaded and gave in.
When he came to Zhang Jianren, he went directly to ask for help from Tu Zhao and Tu Yuzhi.
He said he wanted to experience the atmosphere of students in Beijing, which might be beneficial to his studies.
Tu Zhao felt that his writing was indeed quite good and he had learned everything he needed to learn. Now all he lacked was a little bit of inspiration.
Maybe it would be nice to go out for a walk.
After all, he is my eldest son-in-law. If he can pass the exam, it will be a help to my family.
So the couple came to the capital.
Of course, only female relatives came to the palace to pay homage.
When Tu Qingxue looked at Tu Qinglu wearing the county lady's court dress, her eyes turned red with jealousy.
She couldn't help but speak to Tu Wangshi, "Mother, what does Qingyu mean by this? I am obviously her biological sister."
Tu Wang glared at her and said, "You know you're her biological sister. Over the years, how have you behaved like one?"
She was afraid that Tu Qinglu would get suspicious, so she took Tu Qinglu's hand and said affectionately: "You are all Qinglu. You know how to be nice to your sister at such a young age."
When she received the imperial edict, she was also shocked and felt a little uncomfortable.
His two daughters were not getting along, so a child born to a concubine took advantage of the situation.
Come to think of it, Qinglu has done a really good job over the years.
She still remembers that year when Qingyu almost fell into the river because of Qingxue. It was Qinglu who pulled Qingyu up, but she fell in instead.
It took her a moment to figure it out, and she immediately wrote a letter home to discuss with Tu Zhao about registering Tu Qinglu under her own name.
Tu Qinglu lowered her head shyly, "No, sister is better, sister is the best."
Tu Qingxue returned to her room angrily and smashed things for a long time.
"What's going on?" Zhang Jianren came back after drinking a little wine. As soon as he reached the door of the room, he was almost hit by a piece of porcelain.
He took a deep breath, clenched his fists behind his back, and walked over after calming down his emotions.
"Who made you angry again?"
"Don't you know?" She dodged back in disgust when she smelled the alcohol on him. "It stinks. Can you please stop drinking?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Why don't you spend more time on your studies? Do you want to be a poor scholar for the rest of your life?!" She shouted, "I'm telling you, even if you want to be a poor scholar for the rest of your life, I won't be the wife of a scholar for the rest of my life!"
After saying that, she stood up and left again.
Zhang Jianren looked at his back, his eyes turning cold in an instant.
The servant came over and said, "Sir, how could the lady say such things..."
"It doesn't matter." He murmured, "After all, she is the Empress's sister."
The servant curled his lips, "But I don't think the queen likes this sister very much. If she did, the county lady wouldn't be Miss Qinglu's."
"Yes, the Queen doesn't like her, haha." He endured it for a while, but when he was sure that the two of them did have an old grudge and the Queen would no longer pay attention to her, he could not bear it anymore.
Anyway, he heard that there was no precedent for divorce after marriage was granted by imperial decree.
Five days later, the women of the Tu family, who had recovered, appeared in Fengyi Palace.
Fengyi Palace is very large and exquisite. Since stepping into Fengyi Palace, everyone's eyes can't stop looking at it.
"I thought the palace was beautiful enough, but I didn't expect that the palace where my sister lives is even more magnificent."
Tu Wang glared at her and said, "Stop talking."
She shouldn't have given up on Tu Qingxue's pleading and brought people into the palace.
Tu Qingxue curled her lips and stopped talking. Led by the head nanny, they walked for a long time before they saw Tu Qingyu waiting outside the main hall.
"Greetings to Her Majesty Zhaoyi, may Her Majesty be well and at peace."
Tu Qingyu personally helped the person up, "Mom, please get up quickly."
Indeed, Tu Qingyu was somewhat touched when he saw his mother kneeling before him.
This is such an evil feudal society.
Tu Wang stood up and looked at her with red eyes, "Okay, okay, your Majesty has gained some weight. Seeing that your Majesty is doing well, I feel relieved."
"Sister." Tu Qinglu also called out excitedly.
"Come in quickly." Tu Qingyu led the two of them into the hall, "Bring out the refreshments that have been prepared."
Tu Qingxue followed behind, his eyes rolling around as if he had thought of something.
