Chapter 533 Another Daughter-in-law
"Sisters, what big thing have you done? How come I don't know about it?" Xiao Xichun said suspiciously.
Yingchun was startled by Xiao Xichun's sudden words, but she didn't dare to speak at this moment. She could only anxiously look at Xiao Xichun.
The Queen was stunned, and then she heard Baochai whisper beside her, "Your Majesty, because we were afraid of leaking the news, we didn't let Fourth Sister and Qin know about this!"
The Queen smiled, then waved towards Little Xichun and said, "You are Miss Xichun. When you entered the palace a few days ago, I didn't take a close look at you. Come here and let me take a look."
Little Xichun was not afraid at all. She stood up with a smile and ran to the queen.
"My Lady, I am Xichun!"
She took Xichun's hand and looked her up and down, "Of course I know you are Xichun. Your third brother has often mentioned you to me before."
"Empress, what did my third brother say about me?" Xichun asked with her eyes wide open.
The Queen pretended to think for a moment before speaking, "Your third brother said he has a fourth sister who is not only beautiful but also the most well-behaved and the one he loves the most, right?"
Hearing her third brother boasting about her in front of the Queen, Xiao Xichun was immediately delighted. She pulled the Queen and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I am the most well-behaved, and Third Brother loves me the most! Your Majesty, Third Brother has built a small courtyard for me in the East Palace and decorated it with many things. When Your Majesty comes to our house, I will take you to play in my courtyard!"
The rest of the people all looked at Xiao Xichun talking intimately with the Queen with frowns on their faces , but at this time they really didn't know how to stop them.
"Okay, okay!" The queen was extremely happy. The younger generations in the palace were always well-behaved and polite in front of her, not daring to overstep the boundaries. It was rare for anyone to be as close to her as Xiao Xichun.
"Then I'll take you to play in my garden today. When we get to your house, you can take me to play in your yard, okay?"
Xiao Xichun nodded vigorously immediately, "As for Third Brother's maids Xiao Que'er and the others, when Madam Madam comes, I will let them play with Madam Madam."
These childish words made the Queen laugh out loud, and she hugged the little girl in her arms.
" Your Majesty, my sister doesn't know the rules. Please forgive me!" Yuanchun on the side hurriedly spoke.
The Queen waved her hand and said, "What's there to forgive? Normally, everything here is so disciplined. It's rare for this child to be so close to me, and I'm delighted."
"Sister Yuanchun?" Little Xichun turned around and saw Yuanchun.
Seeing Yuanchun nod, Xiao Xichun immediately said, "Big sister, why are you still living with the Empress instead of in our house? I heard the old ancestor talking about you before."
The Queen pinched Xichun's face and said, "Your elder sister is helping me with my errands, so of course she has to live in the palace."
"If your elder sister leaves, won't there be no one to help me? Otherwise, talk to your ancestors and ask them to let you, a girl, help me and let your elder sister go back."
Xiao Xichun thought about it seriously and finally shook her head.
"What's wrong? Isn't it good in the palace?" the queen asked curiously.
Little Xichun said with a bitter face, "The palace is of course good, better than the mansion. But there is no one here to play with me. Third brother and Xiao Que'er are not here."
The queen burst into laughter when she said this. "Then from now on, let's have your third brother bring the little Que'er and the others you mentioned to live in the palace. How about you come along?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xichun nodded vigorously, ignoring the strange looks from the others. "That would be the best! Your Majesty, I've already discussed with Sister Qin and Sister Yun that I don't want to get married and let Third Brother support me for the rest of my life. So, wherever Third Brother is, we'll be there. If Third Brother comes, I'll come to the palace to play with Your Majesty."
The Queen laughed again when she heard this. Isn't this another daughter-in-law? Although she is still a little young and not big enough, she will definitely be a little beauty in two years.
"I know the Sister Qin you're talking about, but who's the Sister Yun?"
"It's Sister Xiangyun!" Xichun pointed at Xiangyun.
The Queen looked over and then waved as well. When Xiangyun came closer, she said, "You are the girl from the Shi family, right?"
"Xiangyun, daughter of the Shi family, pays homage to the Empress!"
Although Xiangyun is a carefree person, she doesn't dare to be as unrestrained as little Xichun.
"Well, good, good!" The Queen nodded in satisfaction. "We've met before. I heard that you put in a lot of effort this time, too ."
This sentence touched Xiangyun's heart. She had accomplished such a big thing and really wanted to show off to others. "Sister Lin and Sister Bao asked me to contact the various mansions, and I also helped them buy a lot of grain and rice to bring back."
At this point, Xiangyun couldn't help but feel a little proud. "Sister Lin said that if they make trouble, Third Brother's army will have no food to eat. I wanted to take the maids and the old women to fight them, but Sister Lin and Sister Bao stopped us."
As he spoke, he waved his little fist vigorously.
"You feel sorry for your third brother?"
Xiangyun blushed and said shyly, "Third brother is always very kind to me and has given me many gifts. If others want to bully you, I won't allow them to do so."
"Okay, okay!" The queen nodded with satisfaction. Isn't this another one?
With Xiangyun and Xiao Xichun around, and the Queen being really kind, the other girls all relaxed a lot. Yingchun and the others, who had been a little worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the ladies accompanied the Queen in chatting, visiting the garden, and having meals in the palace until it was late, when the Queen sent someone to send them all back.
In the carriage, Little Xichun said excitedly, "Second sister, the garden at the Queen's house is much bigger than ours, and there are many deer and birds..."
Yingchun pinched little Xichun's face hard, not knowing what to say. It's okay! Not to mention them, even the elders and ancestors in the family who came to the palace would abide by the rules and dare not say a word. But this crazy girl almost treated the palace as her own home.
Fortunately, the queen was kind and not only did she not blame him, but she also gave him a generous reward...
Tanchun, who was standing aside, was not too worried. She and others naturally did not have such a great reputation in the palace and in front of the empress, but her third brother did. Even if it was for the sake of her third brother's face, how could the empress blame her for the fourth sister being so favored by him?
In the leading carriage, Daiyu and Baochai sat opposite each other!
"The New Year is almost here. I wonder how things are going with my third brother?" Daiyu said softly.
