Chapter 425 We Are Sisters
Aunt Xue nodded immediately and said, "Then we'll listen to the old lady. We'll invite our own relatives in the first two days, and then they'll all come to your house on the third day."
"Aunt, today is such a happy day, shouldn't you give Feng'er some nice things?" Wang Xifeng said with a smile.
"That's not something you should mention!" Aunt Xue tapped Wang Xifeng's forehead. "How can I be a stingy person?"
"Tongxi, go get two pieces of Huanhua brocade that was sent from Shu a few days ago, and pick out the best set of headgear I made a while ago, and give them all to this little girl Feng, so that she won't say that I, as her aunt, am stingy."
Feng Lazi bowed to Aunt Xue in a strange manner, "Thank you for the reward, Aunt. My sister will certainly be rich and powerful in the future, and Brother Pan will surely have a prosperous family business with the help of his brother-in-law. You can give more of your property to my niece in the future, and you don't have to keep it for them."
"Hahaha, girl, everyone knows that you help Congge manage a business worth millions. Even the imperial edicts of various prefectures have to look at your face. Now you are even more noble, and my aunt's family is not as rich as yours. Why are you still asking for money from my aunt? Who knows, one day my aunt may ask you for help."
After chatting for a while, Wang Xifeng was still thinking about what Baochai had just said, and felt a little confused, so she said goodbye, "Aunt, I have to go to Uncle Lin's house today according to the old lady's order, so I won't bother you anymore. When the big banquet is held in a few days, I will come after you have prepared the wedding wine."
"Okay, okay, auntie will definitely prepare it in advance and let you enjoy it."
"Aunt, please stay and let your good sister see me off." Wang Xifeng said, pulling Baochai. She would feel uneasy if she didn't ask Baochai.
Aunt Xue escorted them out of the hall, and Baochai walked forward with Wang Xifeng, smiling.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the Chaoshou Gallery. Seeing that there was no one around except the two maids, Wang Xifeng encouraged herself and pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Bao girl, you will soon be a super-ranking official. Is it worth it for you to brag about a bracelet like mine?"
"For a small family like mine, the Queen's reward is naturally extravagant, but it cannot be compared with your status."
Baochai just looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile, and her meaning was very clear: Go on, keep making up stories, and see if I will believe even a single word of it.
As expected, Wang Xifeng couldn't continue speaking. This sister was too smart and could not be fooled easily.
Moving forward step by step, this strange atmosphere made Wang Xifeng feel like running away, until she reached the end of the corridor, when Baochai finally spoke.
"Sister Ping'er, you and Ying'er go get the carriage ready first. I'll come over after I have a few words with your Second Madam."
The two of them left in response. When they were out of the hanging flower gate, Baochai took Wang Xifeng's hand and said quietly, "I won't interfere with Cong'er's decision, and I won't change what he has decided. You and I are sisters, so how can I not see the difficult situation you are in the mansion."
"Cong'er is not a dissolute person, but a person who values love! Now that things have come to this, I think there is a destiny between you two, but you should also know that Cong'er can tolerate anyone beside him, but not those who are too thoughtful. My love for Cong'er is greater than anything else, and I will accept everything he likes, but if you have other thoughts and make our family restless, I will not tolerate you."
"If I...if I have any ulterior motives, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Fengjie has never been one to give in easily, but facing Baochai at this moment, she couldn't help but lower her head.
Seeing Wang Xifeng like this, Baochai sighed in her heart. How could she not know that the reason why Feng Lazi was so humble was not because of her, but because she also had true feelings for that enemy. Otherwise, how could she, the hero among the rouge pile and the second wife in the mansion, be afraid of her Bao girl.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hug Wang Xifeng. Compared to others, Baochai knew more about Fengjie's difficulties. As a woman herself, she could empathize with her.
"We were sisters before, and we will naturally be sisters in the future, but you still have to get past Sister Lin. You know the position of Sister Lin in Cong'er's heart. If Sister Lin doesn't drink the tea you offer her, then you can't be considered to have entered the door."
At this moment, Wang Xifeng no longer had any domineering air. Instead, she was like a shy little girl who was just beginning to fall in love.
Watching Wang Xifeng's carriage slowly going away, Baochai first sighed softly, and then her face regained its spirit. She knew very well that her lover was not someone she could possess exclusively, and she was not afraid of being snatched away from her place in his heart by others. Although she looked friendly, she also had her own plans.
You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others! If other sisters can serve together with all their heart, she will naturally not want to be a bad person, but if she has other thoughts, she will let people know that she, Xue Baochai, is definitely a resourceful person.
The next morning, Jia Cong did not go to the palace, but went directly to the palace. Although Baochai and Daiyu also wanted to go to the palace, they could not go together at this time, so he went to the palace first and waited.
While Emperor Longxing was holding a court meeting, Jia Cong went directly to the Queen's Fengzao Palace.
Seeing her son coming so excitedly, the queen smiled and said, "Are you afraid that your two young wives will be wronged by me, so you came here early to wait?"
Jia Cong smiled awkwardly, "Didn't I come to the palace to express my gratitude?"
The Queen did not point out her son's little thoughts, "Yuanchun, go get someone to prepare some food. The child has come so early in the morning, he must not have eaten yet."
Yuanchun hurried to make arrangements as ordered, while the Queen took Jia Cong aside and talked to him about the intimacy between mother and son.
It was not until after the 9th hour that a female official came to report that Lin Daiyu, the daughter of the Lin family, and Xue Baochai, the daughter of the Xue family, had entered the palace and were waiting to be summoned by the Queen.
"Yuanchun, go and let them in."
This morning, before daybreak, Daiyu and Baochai woke up early. The maids hurriedly helped them to dress up. After everything was ready, the two of them did not dare to sit down easily, let alone eat and drink casually. After all, they would go to the palace to meet the emperor and empress later, and it would not be a good thing if they were impolite.
After the noon hour, two carriages arrived at the gates of the Lin Mansion and the Xue Family's house at the same time. The people who came were all eunuchs and maids from Jia Cong's house, so everyone in the two houses was naturally familiar with each other.
Daiyu and Baochai got on the carriage separately. Lin Ruhai and Xue Pan, who had come to the palace to express their gratitude, also followed them dressed neatly. After meeting up halfway, the two groups headed for the palace .
Knowing that her two daughters-in-law were going to enter the palace today, the Queen had people waiting at the palace gate early in the morning. Therefore, the Queen got the news as soon as Baochai and Daiyu arrived outside the palace.
