Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

After the New Year, the Seventh Prince's Mansion was filled with joy and happiness, with smiles on everyone's faces.

Why? Of course, it was because the two masters had reconciled. Siqin and Sihua accepted the red envelope with a smile in their eyes, and helped Xu Yixing with her morning makeup in the study. New Year, new atmosphere, finally leaving all the troubles behind last year!

Ada and Aer also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the two princes did not have conflicts, they would not have to suffer any harm. As for those ideas that were once given to the prince that were just one step away from being right, Amitabha, if the lady held us accountable, the prince should be able to exonerate us, right?

Lu Anyuan disappeared early in the morning. When Xu Yixing woke up, he found that there was no one by the bed.

"Xiaoshe, where is your prince?"

"My lady, I have gone to the palace."

"Today is the first day of the new year. What matters need to be dealt with in the palace?" Could it be that the assassination last night was discovered so quickly? That would be too bad.

"I don't know. The Queen Mother asked him to leave. I think it was a family matter."

“Oh…” Assassination can also be considered a family matter… Xu Yixing was a little flustered. Although she knew that Lu Anyuan would definitely not make a plan to leave a handle, the Second Prince pointed it out to her in person last night. She didn’t know how to end this.

She thought about it and decided to go back home. This was the time for her father to come in handy. If he couldn't help Lu Anyuan, then what was the point of having him?

I was still checking the gifts to take home when I saw Lu Anyuan coming back in a hurry, with a smile on his face that he couldn't stop.

"What happened?"

The worry on Xu Yixing's face made Lu Anyuan dazed for a moment. Since when did he become the one that someone in the family cares about?

"It's nothing, don't worry." He pressed Xu Yixing's shoulders and asked her to sit on the chair. "The Queen Mother was not feeling well this morning. I was very worried when I heard about it, so I went to the palace to check. I'm sorry to have made you worried."

"The Empress Dowager..." Xu Yixing was really afraid to hear the news of the Empress Dowager's death. The current time was already turbulent, and another national mourning would simply be adding insult to injury.

"The old lady is fine. She was just mad at the mother in the palace and became confused. I have already served her medicine and left only after I saw that she was feeling better."

"Do you princes have to do the job of serving medicine?" Shouldn't this be the job of the emperor, concubines, or princesses?

"Because I'm filial." Lu Anyuan came up shamelessly and rubbed Xu Yixing's forehead with his chin. "There was trouble with Concubine Ying, and the Queen Mother was so angry that she became sick. She didn't want to see those people in the harem, so I went."

"Tell me in detail!" I knew that with his character of not doing anything without profit, he would definitely have an agenda. How could I not listen to such great gossip!

"You should know my third brother's mother, Concubine Gong. Her father, the Imperial Academy Master Cui, passed away four months ago."

"I know about this, but I remember that the Cui family was very low-key. They just followed the funeral rules and didn't hold a big celebration, right?" At that time, it was just after the moon-viewing party in the outer palace. Xu Yixing was trapped in the fourth prince's scheme and lived in seclusion at home. He did not pay much attention to this matter.

"Yes, the Cui family has been an elder for three dynasties. Now it's the current generation. After Mr. Cui passed away, the younger generation has made some progress, but in the end, it's all thanks to Concubine Gong and the Third Prince, so they are all very low-key."

"Then they are very smart." At least compared with the Second Prince and his disappointing mother's family, Cui is already very sensible.

"Yes. After Mr. Cui died, his portrait was supposed to be placed in the Great Xia Meritorious Officials Pavilion for worship, but there was a lot of opposition in the court at that time, so it has been delayed and has not been completed until now."

"Who objects?"

"Of course it's my second brother and his uncle who has no vision."

"Oh! Now that the Second Prince has established his own residence and his uncle has passed away, there should be no obstacles to this matter."

"But Concubine Ying refused to give up and pinned the blame on my third brother for what happened yesterday."

"Really?" Xu Yixing struggled out of Lu Anyuan's arms. This Concubine Ying was really simple-minded. Could the crime of assassination be framed so casually?

Lu Anyuan nodded. He didn’t expect that there would be such a wonderful turn of events.

"But it was definitely not Second Brother's idea. I have already inquired about it. Second Brother went straight back home last night and did not enter the palace again. It must be that after Concubine Ying heard about it, she rushed to Father before Second Prince to persuade him.

Concubine Gong has always disliked her, but she never cared. Last night, she heard about it and went to the Queen Mother and cried for half the night. She made the Queen Mother's headache worse, and she is now in a bad mood."

"Empress Dowager, he is really pitiful." But at the moment, the Second Prince is obviously more pitiful. Maybe he had thought of a way to counter it last night, but after Concubine Ying made such a mess, even if he had ten ways, he couldn't use them now.

But she couldn't understand why Concubine Ying always held the Second Prince back?

"But this Concubine Ying didn't even inform the Second Prince. If this matter is traced back, it will definitely not be traced back to the Third Prince. Why did she offend Concubine Gong?"

"This is the disadvantage of having a mother who is too strong. Concubine Ying has always regarded herself as a kind mother and has to take care of everything for my second brother. After my second brother left the palace, he must have been less dependent and obedient to her. She is unhappy and wants to show off her role."

"Overcorrection is as bad as deficiency. The Second Prince probably suffered a loss this time. If he wants to go to His Majesty to change his mind, I'm afraid it will be too late. You are really lucky."

Xu Yixing rubbed his aching shoulders and neck and gave up the idea of ​​going home. Since Ying Fei had done such a stupid thing, this matter would not be a threat to Lu Anyuan in the short term, so it was better to stay still than to move.

I still feel lucky. It seems that God is fair. Since God has given the Second Prince such a favored mother, it would be fair for him to take something away from him.

Suddenly, a report was heard: "Your Highness, Madam, Mr. Yao is back!"

Xu Yixing's eyes lit up, and he quickly cheered up: "Go and ask him to come over, your highness is waiting, hurry up!"

Lu Anyuan saw the little maid hurriedly running to call for help and found it funny: "You have already explained this matter to me clearly, why do you need him to come?"

"If you don't let him explain it to you in person, how can this matter be resolved?"

Mr. Yao had just returned when he was hurriedly summoned. He went to the study, thinking that something must have happened to the Seventh Prince. He did not have time to ask in detail and hurried over with the medicine box on his back.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

After asking this question, he looked forward and found that his wife was also in the study. Mr. Yao glanced at Lu Anyuan's cold eyes, then looked at his wife's half-smile and gloating expression, and smiled bitterly. It seems that this matter has been exposed so quickly.
