The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Empress Xue sat at the top, followed by Concubine Shu and Concubine Li, and the other concubines were arranged in order of rank.

The princes and princesses, headed by the eldest princess, sat on the other side. The youngest, the ninth prince, who was only two years old, sat obediently at the end without crying or making a fuss.

As the princess consort of Prince Rong, Yan Muxi is of the same generation as the Queen. Normally, when she sees the Queen, she only needs to perform the etiquette of equality. However, today, she entered the palace to recognize her relatives and to express gratitude, so she still had to perform the kneeling ceremony.

After the ceremony, Queen Xue gave some gold and jade items as symbolic rewards.

When it was the turn of Concubine Shu and Concubine Li, Yan Muxi simply performed the blessing ceremony, and Concubine Shu's attitude was as elegant as ever.

The demoted Concubine Li was still arrogant and domineering, "Humph, the Crown Prince's Concubine is so beautiful, no wonder she can win the heart of Prince Rong!"

"What's the matter with Concubine Li's nostrils that are always humming? Is she sick and having difficulty breathing? If you are sick, you must get treatment immediately. Don't delay and it may turn into a serious illness or even cost you your life." Yu Wantai suddenly spoke, his tone still nonchalant as usual.

"You..." Concubine Li was so angry that her face changed. She wanted to fight back but she didn't have the right words.

Yu Wantai had no intention of stopping just because things were going well. "Tsk tsk, look at Concubine Li's face, it's red and pale, her condition is serious and I'm afraid it won't be treated any more. I advise you to call the imperial physician to see her right away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Rui strode in and said, "When did little uncle learn how to diagnose illnesses by face reading? Are you going to change your career to become a doctor? Positions in the Imperial Hospital are always in short supply. Little uncle is now concentrating on learning medicine. Who knows, he might be able to get a position before he turns forty!"

The irony in Prince Rui's words was not concealed. Yu Wantai had been uneducated since childhood, and was neither good at literature nor martial arts. Now, at the age of twenty, he had accomplished nothing except flirting with other women.

Yu Wantai was not annoyed at all. "My nephew's suggestion is not bad. I will consider it carefully." He then bowed to the prince who came in from behind and said, "I am afraid it is too late for me to learn anything at this age. If I am not good at learning by then, I will have to rely on the back door of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to barely give me a position."

The prince bowed in fear and said, "Uncle, be careful with your words, be careful with your words!"

"Everyone here is family, what are you afraid of? If I don't ask you for an official position, how can I ask Yu Jincheng for it? Can I get it from him?" After saying this, Yu Wantai gave Prince Rui a look of contempt.

Prince Rui's face is as black as the bottom of a pot. He cannot get an official position by asking him for it. Isn't that just a hint that he cannot get that position?

He had to sit in that position, and when the time came, he would make Yu Wantai open his eyes wide and see clearly who he should wag his tail to please.

With Yan Muxi's current status, the princes and princesses are all juniors. As a new aunt, she needs to give the juniors a gift.

The princes and princesses were used to seeing fine things, and they certainly looked down on ordinary gold and silver utensils. Yan Muxi specially prepared some rare items found in Nanyang, including bracelets made of coral beads, wind chimes made of shells, and ornaments carved from sea fish bones.

As these were new items they had never seen before, the princes and princesses were very happy when they received the gifts, especially the younger ones, who called her "Little Aunt Wang" so sweetly.

The third prince received a pure black coral bracelet. As soon as he took out the bracelet, the third princess born by Concubine De clamored to exchange it.

Concubine Shu smiled and advised: "Colorful coral beads are so beautiful, they are most suitable for girls to wear, and they also match the colorful clothes that the Third Princess is wearing today."

"But I don't like mixed colors, I only like black, so I'll ask Third Brother if he wants to change it!" The Third Princess had a pouty face and asked questions, but her tone was obviously arrogant and threatening.

Seeing that she could not be persuaded, Concubine Shu lowered her eyes, drank her tea, and said nothing more.

The third princess's biological mother, Concubine De, looked at the improper scene in front of her with a faint smile, and had no intention of scolding her daughter. The other concubines all smiled and kept silent, as if it was only natural for the third princess to snatch the third prince's things.

The Third Prince, who was bullied by his younger sister in public, did not show any displeasure on his face. He smiled calmly, "Since the Third Princess likes it, how can I, as her elder brother, not be willing? Gifts given by elders should not be given to others. If the coral beads were not given by Auntie Wang, both strings would be given to the Third Princess."

"I guess you would be willing to do so." The third princess stepped forward and exchanged the two strings of beads. She stared at the colorful beads again and again, feeling reluctant to part with them.

In fact, she liked both strings very much, and she asked for the exchange simply because she wanted the Third Prince to give him both strings of coral beads. But the Third Prince had already said in advance that they could not be transferred, so she had to give up the beads no matter how reluctant she was.

After the recognition, Yan Muxi was kept in Changchun Palace for lunch, while Yu Wantai went to Qianqing Palace where Emperor Yuanjing was.

Yan Muxi's seat was arranged next to Empress Xue. Although they were of the same generation, there was a difference between the monarch and his subjects. Yan Muxi's seat should have been arranged below the high-ranking concubines. Empress Xue arranged it this way, and the other concubines did not raise any objections.

For a moment, Yan Muxi had a new understanding of the noble status of Prince Rong's Mansion.

King Rong fought for most of his life for the foundation of Dafeng, so it was only natural that he was respected by his people. Emperor Yuanjing was given the throne by King Rong, so it was understandable that Emperor Yuanjing was grateful for his kindness.

But she always felt that Emperor Yuanjing had praised Prince Rong's Mansion too much, resulting in everyone now only knowing about the nobility and luxury of Prince Rong's Mansion, and forgetting the great contributions that the old Prince Rong had made for Dafeng.

As soon as they put down their bowls and chopsticks, Yu Wantai came to Changchun Palace to take Yan Muxi out of the palace.

On the way back in the carriage, the two of them were still looking at each other, but suddenly their eyes met and they smiled without saying a word.

Of course, the person who was laughing was Yan Muxi. Yu Wantai kept his eyes half closed most of the time, so Yan Muxi couldn't tell whether he was in a good mood or not.

Before getting married, she had actually carefully considered various ways to please her husband, but when the time came, she felt that none of the methods were suitable. And after last night's blunder, she really didn't have the face to do anything to please him.

"Your eyes are rolling around, what are you thinking about?"

Yu Wantai suddenly spoke up, and Yan Muxi's heart subconsciously tightened, but her face did not show nervousness, "I wonder if I can walk sideways in the palace in the future, and no one dares to stop me."

Glancing at her twisted fingers, Yu Wantai turned his eyes away helplessly, "You are the Crown Prince's Consort of the Rong Palace. As long as you don't mind your height and feet, you can walk sideways if you want. Who dares to stop you?"

"My Lord, please don't make fun of me. I am speaking seriously."

"I am also speaking seriously. As the mistress of Prince Rong's Mansion, you can walk around the palace with your head held high. You can give face to others as you wish. You can choose not to give face if you don't want to. Everything is up to you." Yu Wantai's tone was unusually serious. "With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anyone."

Yan Muxi smiled when she heard that, but fearing that her eyes would betray her, she lowered her eyes and stopped talking.

What the third sister said is so right, a man’s mouth is a lie, you can trust a ghost instead of a man.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Yu Wantai didn't say anything else.

You have to bear the bitter fruit you have sown yourself, no matter how bitter it is.

He didn't want Yan Muxi to be afraid of him, but he couldn't force anyone not to be afraid of him. He didn't dare tell Yan Muxi that he was her sister Ning An, for fear that he would backfire and the other party would only treat him as a sister and would never develop any other feelings for him.

So he could only be cautious and approach her slowly. He believed that one day, there would be a place for him in the little girl's heart.
