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

After greeting each other, everyone sat down at their seats.

Xue pulled Su over and asked with concern, "I heard that Sister Qing was also seriously ill. Is she feeling better now?"

Xue had no daughter, and had always treated her niece, whom she had taken care of since she was a child, as half her own daughter. She dreamed of marrying her niece, whom she had loved for many years, as her daughter-in-law.

When he learned that his niece was interested in his son, he proposed the marriage to his sister-in-law without hesitation.

I never expected that the two children would be incompatible, and now one of them is seriously injured and the other is seriously ill.

Seeing her sister-in-law's guilty look, Su consoled her, "Qing Jie'er is much better now. She even drank half a bowl of porridge this afternoon. What about Chang'er? Is his injury better?"

Speaking of her son, Xue's nose was sore and her eyes were red. "When he wakes up, he is in so much pain that he cannot stand it. He always falls asleep after taking the medicine. Alas! At least both children are alive and well. You don't have to worry too much!"

Su also sighed, "Alas! What my sister-in-law said is right. It's useless to worry about it. You have to bear the pain yourself. As a mother, no matter how much you feel, you can't suffer for your children."

After thinking for a while, she lowered her voice and asked on behalf of her daughter, "Is it really impossible to decipher the horoscopes of Chang'er and Qing'er?"

Xue was surprised when she heard this. She couldn't believe that her sister-in-law would be willing to marry her precious daughter to her son whose appearance had been ruined.

But now, even if the sister-in-law is willing, it will be useless. She shook her head and said, "No! Master Yuankong's original words are that the fates of the two are parallel and stable, and if they intersect, they will be broken. There is no solution."

Su was unwilling to give up. "What about Master Qingning? Does she also have no solution at all?"

"We asked Longquan Temple early in the morning, but they had no answer. Perhaps this is the fate of these two children, and we can't force it."

Xue even felt that it was because of the arranged marriage that the two children had ended up in such a situation. Fortunately, her son was still alive. Even if there was a solution to the fate, she would not dare to take the risk of marrying into the Yan family.

After sitting for a while, Yan Muxi's sweat finally dried off.

They felt bored when they were idle. The palace banquet would not start until the evening. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have to wait here for more than an hour.

But it's better to be bored than to have an accident.

But, things often don't go as planned.

Empress Xue was Xue's biological sister. Just as Su accompanied Xue into the inner hall to meet the empress, a pale-faced eunuch came to the flower hall looking for someone.

"Who is Yan Muyun, the third daughter of Minister Yan?"

The pale-faced eunuch had a shrill voice, and one could hear a pin drop in the huge hall.

Yan Muyun stood up and said, "My daughter Yan Muyun, I wonder why the father-in-law is looking for me?"

The pale-faced eunuch glanced at her and said, "The noble wants to see you, no need to ask any more questions, just follow me!"

He turned around and walked a few steps. When he realized Yan Muyun hadn't followed him, he turned around and threatened, "Miss Third Yan is so arrogant. Do you want the noble master to come and invite you personally?"

"I dare not!" Realizing that she couldn't escape, Yan Mujun could only grit her teeth and follow behind.

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave the flower hall, Qian Manman still had an inexplicable look of indifference on her face. Yan Muxi sighed in his heart and followed them out.

After leaving the flower hall, Yan Muxi stuffed a golden bean into the little palace maid in charge of opening the curtains, and asked, "Sister, do you know which palace the eunuch just now is from?"

The little palace maid shook her head and looked at the eunuch who was responsible for leading the way.

Yan Muxi understood immediately and trotted towards the eunuch who was leading the way. When she got to him, she said, "Ouch!" She pretended to sprain her ankle and stumbled.

When the eunuch who led the way held her, she calmly stuffed three golden beans into his hands. Seeing that he did not refuse, she frowned and asked, "Which palace is the fair-faced eunuch who just passed by from?"

The eunuch who led the way cleared his throat and answered irrelevantly, "Miss, please walk slowly. The Queen likes quietness and hates people who are reckless and noisy. She is not like the young masters in the palace who like to call friends and have fun together."

After getting the answer he wanted, Yan Muxi stood up straight and said, "Thank you, eunuch, for your advice."

The little master in the palace refers to which prince or princess. The eunuch deliberately mentioned the queen, meaning that only the queen can control the little master. The only prince or princess who can run rampant in the harem is the eldest princess born to Concubine Li.

The eldest princess was born to Concubine Li. She was very beautiful and was favored by Emperor Yuanjing. Even now, at the age of 18, she has not yet found a son-in-law.

Rumor has it that the eldest princess not only resembles Concubine Li in appearance, but also in personality. She is extremely irritable and arrogant, and is the most unoffensive person in the harem.

It is obvious that it is not a good thing for a spoiled princess who is loved by everyone to meet a beautiful concubine's daughter.

It stands to reason that during the New Year, no matter how tyrannical the princess is, she cannot kill the daughter of a minister. At most, she can only make things difficult for her. But what if?

Yan Muyun was just a concubine's daughter. Even if she was killed or disabled by the princess, the Yan family would not only not dare to make a fuss, but would probably have to find a way to cover up for the royal family.

What should she do? Ask Queen Xue for help? But the problem is that everything is just her guess.

Even Su might not have the nerve to ask Empress Xue to intervene in the matter based on speculation, let alone a mere court lady like her.

Forget it, it’s not that she doesn’t care about the life and death of her sisters, it’s that she doesn’t have the ability to do so.

But, I feel so uneasy inside! It is more uncomfortable than killing someone.

When they returned to the flower hall, Su had not come back yet. Yan Muxi sat down absent-mindedly.

Just when he was feeling anxious, the women from the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion arrived. When Yan Muxi saw Gu Yuelan holding her head high and looking around for someone, she suddenly had an idea.

She stood up and ran out of the flower hall, found the eunuch who had led the way, pretended to ask for directions and stuffed a bag of gold beans into his pocket, "Tell Prince Rong that Yan San went to Yaohua Palace, and there will be a generous reward if the matter is successful!"

The eunuch looked at her deeply, hesitated for a moment, and stuffed the purse into his sleeve. Then he said hello to the eunuch who led the way, and hurried out of Changchun Palace.

Yan Muxi breathed a long sigh of relief. She had done her best to help, and she could only leave it to fate as to the outcome!

Gu Yuelan came towards him and asked, "Where did you go just now? It took me a long time to find you."

"My daughter greets the county princess!" Before Yan Muxi's knees were completely bent, Gu Yuelan pulled her up.

"The whole room is filled with the smell of powder and cosmetics. It's suffocating! Let's go to the garden at the back for a walk."

There is a small garden around the flower hall. It is bleak in winter and there are no flowers to appreciate in the garden. Only a few people come here to take a breath of fresh air.

Gu Yuelan pulled Yan Muxi to sit on the chair in the pavilion beside the garden, chattering non-stop.

"...Have you heard? Su Huachang fell down the stairs and broke his face. I'm afraid he will never have the chance to take the imperial examinations and become an official in this life. When I first heard the news, I felt very upset. When I was a child studying in the Su family mansion, I couldn't memorize the same article in twelve hours a day, but he and your elder sister could recite it by heart in half a cup of tea. Alas! God gave him such a smart brain, but now his appearance is ruined and his future is gone. What a pity!"
