Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 5 Entering the Palace

"Mother, are you resigning because your daughter ordered them to chop down peach trees?"

Song Jinyue pressed her temples with her mutton-fat white jade fingers, feeling very distressed, "To think that now my daughter, a legitimate daughter of the Duke's palace, can't order the maids in her own courtyard to do things."

A pair of apricot eyes full of loneliness.

Mrs. Shen originally wanted to use the matter of the two maids to give her a beating, but unexpectedly she was choked and didn't know how to respond.

Doesn't this sentence, overtly or covertly, refer directly to the fact that after her stepmother took over the family, she, the legitimate daughter of her first wife, had a hard time?

Mrs. Shen did not answer, but took a plain-colored handkerchief and wiped the rouge on the corner of her lips, and said slowly: "It's because my mother didn't think well, so she invited Yazi to come to the house tomorrow. Yue'er, go and pick some maids in person."

make."

Seeing that Mrs. Shen had given up her words, Yun Xing and Chun Chan dared not say another word, so they were led out by Aunt Zhao.

The two girls finally returned to Mingzhuxuan to serve, and Song Jinyue did not object to this. After all, keeping the two of them was still useful. Without them, how could the rest of the play be performed?

Mrs. Shen originally wanted to keep Song Jinyue to have lunch in the main courtyard, but after sitting there for a while, the palace sent someone to invite her.

Song Jinyue was about to enter the palace with the palace attendants, but Song Jinxi called her, "Second sister, wait a moment."

She pretended not to know Song Jinxi's little thoughts.

If you don't enter the palace, how can you see He Yuan frame, so as to relieve the pain of missing each other!

"Sister, what's the matter?"

Today Song Jinxi specially wore a light purple skirt with auspicious clouds embroidered with silver thread on the edge. She had a white jade tassel hairpin on her rolled-up hair, and the finest bean-sized pearls were worn into a string.

The jade wrist looming in the light purple sleeves looks dignified and decent.

I am afraid that Song Jinxi already knew that someone from the palace would summon her to the palace today.

Song Jinxi lowered her eyes and stopped talking.

"Sister, do you want to enter the palace with me?"

Seeing her extending an olive branch, Song Jinxi suppressed the secret joy in her heart, twisting a light purple handkerchief embroidered with orchids in her hands, wondering: "But my aunt didn't summon me to the palace..."

aunt?

Song Jinyue sneered inwardly, but Song Jinxi was used to using poles to climb along.

Since she wanted to enter the palace to have a private meeting with He Yuan frame, then she would allow her to do so, but... she would have to pay a price.

Song Jinyue took her hand and said with a smile: "If nothing happens, then eldest sister, just follow me to the palace."

Song Jinxi stepped forward and took her arm. In the eyes of others, they only saw that the two sisters of the Duke's Palace had a deep affection.

The palace's carriage was parked in front of the Duke's Mansion. The bright yellow curtain was embroidered with flowers, birds and animals with gold thread, and there was a curtain made of pearls hanging on it. It was really majestic.

Song Jinxi's eyes were shining. This was the first time she had seen such a magnificent chariot.

But the maid behind her poked her young lady, and Song Jinxi finally came to her senses. She took a step back and gently raised her bare hands to help Song Jinyue get into the carriage first.

A crowd of people gathered around the gate of the Duke's Mansion. If she was asked to get on the carriage first and word got out, everyone would only think that the second young lady of the Duke's Mansion was so domineering that she even had to be served by her biological eldest sister when she went out.

"Sister, you go first." Song Jinyue held Song Jinxi's hand and helped her onto the carriage.

Song Jinxi originally wanted to refuse, but it was obvious that she was determined to do so, so she gave up.

Qiu Yun then helped her young lady get into the carriage, but she felt resentful in her heart. The queen was her young lady's biological aunt, and the eldest lady was really shameless. She had never seen someone like this go up a pole to get close to her relatives.

The stools in the carriage were also wrapped in bright yellow brocade, and a pink glass lamp was hung on the roof. The wick holder inside was also made of red agate.

Even the incense burner on the table is made of red gold, with a lifelike phoenix carved on it. The spices burning in the incense burner are unprecedented, like fruity aroma mixed with sandalwood. I think this is the spice offered by Fan Bang in the capital.

.

Over the years, Song Jinxi had already broadened her horizons. What precious treasures had she not seen in the capital? But in the end, she was still shocked by the grandeur of the palace.

Only by standing at the highest place can we enjoy the treasures that even the dignitaries cannot enjoy.

That eagerness to move made Song Jinxi hate Song Jinyue even more.

Why is her life so good?

Are you taller than others since you were born?

She is a legitimate daughter of the Grand Duke, but she can only be a concubine raised in the outer courtyard and cannot be seen in the light?

Why does she have such a prestigious maternal ancestor as the Zhang family? And an aunt who is a queen? Even the prince is her cousin!

Song Jinxi felt herself going crazy with jealousy. She lowered her eyes and took a deep breath, which gradually calmed down the restlessness in her heart. Song Jinyue had a panoramic view of all this.

I was really stupid in my previous life.

Why can't you see that Song Jinxi is jealous and wants to burn her to death?

Fortunately, she was reborn, and everything was still possible!

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, and the queen sent a sedan to take her into the palace. Following her was Xiangxiu, the head of the queen's palace.

After seeing the ceremony, Xiangxiu was worried. She didn't know that the eldest lady from the Duke's mansion would also come with her, so the empress only ordered someone to prepare a soft sedan chair. What should she do now?

Song Jinyue naturally understood why Xiangxiu was so difficult, so she said: "Sister Xiangxiu, this is the first time for the eldest sister to enter the palace, so just take us to walk to my aunt's palace."

"Sorry for bothering Sister Xiangxiu."

Song Jinxi was also busy chiming in.

Xiangxiu nodded and led the two of them to the Zhaohua Palace where the Queen lived.

"My Majesty, I have been thinking about the Second Young Lady all these years. I heard that the Second Young Lady was back yesterday and I didn't have a good night's sleep. I sent someone to pick you up early this morning."

Xiangxiu murmured, but when he mentioned that the empress had not slept all night, a sad look appeared in his eyes.

"Is your aunt feeling well?"

Song Jinyue was keenly aware of something strange. At this time in the previous life, her aunt seemed to be ill. She took the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor intermittently for ten days, but her spirit became worse day by day.

Later, for some reason, the imperial doctor who treated my aunt died at home, and my aunt became very haggard.

She then went to the palace to stay with her aunt for less than half a month, but her aunt never mentioned why she was ill.

But every time I mention being sick, my eyes always turn red.

I think my aunt's illness is very strange.

I had doubts in my heart.

As a group of people walked outside the Zhaohua Palace, they bumped into a palace lady wearing purple palace clothes and running out in a panic.

Gong'e saw that Sister Xiangxiu had returned.

She was so anxious that she almost cried, and said: "Sister Xiangxiu, you are finally back, my empress..."

The palace lady actually cried as she spoke.

Xiangxiu's expression tightened, and she didn't care about the Song Jinyue sisters behind her. She just said, "Go and ask for Dr. Xu" and hurried to the main hall.

This scene had never happened in the previous life. Song Jinyue didn't think much about it and hurriedly chased after him.

The ladies in Zhaohua Hall were in a hurry, as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Song Jinyue casually pulled over a palace lady and asked what happened in Zhaohua Palace.

Only then did I realize that my aunt had coughed up blood just now.

All the maids serving in the palace were panicked for a moment. Over the past month, the queen has not been in good health. Even when the prince came to pay his respects, the queen didn't think much.

I just felt dizzy and couldn't sleep well all night.

Yesterday I heard that my niece was back, and I felt a little more energetic. But because I didn't sleep well all night, I'm still coughing up blood!
