In his previous life, King Qi had gotten an emergency during his fifth year at the throne of the new Emperor.

I can still remember that magnificent burial.

The large convoy extended from the Qi King Manor all the way to the temple at the outskirts of the capital. On the way, countless white curtains covered the sky and covered the ground.

The main temple hall was shut for 749 days, and then it was buried in the Royal Tomb as a form of courtesy to the prince.

The falling paper money was like a sprinkling of snow as it floated down to the two sides of the street. The mournful wails spread through the streets.

Three days later, the emperor personally went to the main altar, and I even had a chat with Xuelang about the mystery of King Qi's death.

I don't want to be so close to someone who was once out of my reach.

"His Majesty, King Qi, is an elegant and unrestrained man. Naturally, he is everyone's target of adoration. Big Cousin Xue is just adoring him, that's all. Third Cousin, why do you have to be so overbearing?"

I said these words word by word, my eyes staring unblinkingly at Big Miss Xue's reaction.

Eldest Miss Xue looked at me with surprise before lowering her head in panic. There was a bit of a blush on her face and a bashful smile on her face.

They were people who had already been here once, what could they possibly not understand!

"I'm aggressive?" Miss Xue San sneered. "Look at her shameless actions!"

"Alright!" Second Miss Xue, who had been silent all this time, shouted, "If you continue to be like this, I'll have to tell Mother!"

I never understood why Second Miss Xue and Eldest Miss were so intimate. I only found out later that Second Miss Xue's birth mother was a concubine of First Wife Qin's. Because she was pregnant and couldn't be served, she put Second Miss Xue's face in the room. Mrs. Xue didn't want her to be injured when she gave birth to Second Miss, so it was hard for her to get pregnant. Mrs. Xue decided to keep her in the capital for half a year to recuperate, but she didn't bring her to the side. She only brought Second Miss Xue and Eldest Miss to stay in the house to recuperate.

As for the reason why they were raised together, one of them had the air of being upright while the other had a timid little family, whose jade-like appearance was unknown!

The methods of the harem often kill people without blood being shed.

When Miss Xue heard her older sister, who was usually listless, scold her, she actually stopped talking and lowered her head to play with the teacup in her hand.

"Since sister has obtained such an expensive lot, we must also have a toast!" Second Miss Xu, who had been busy taking care of her sister, finally found a chance to say something and just happened to solve the problem.

"In the end, we haven't eaten. Drinking wine isn't good, so why don't we use tea in place of a bar!" Eldest Miss Xu hurriedly followed behind her sister's voice as she paid her respects.

I couldn't help but sigh. This was something Second Miss Jiang could say, but you couldn't say it.

He's the host. How can you, a guest, be so good as to give orders?

After drinking a cup of tea, everyone chatted and laughed for a bit before starting a few rounds. As expected, it was as Second Miss Jiang and I had instructed, as long as she wanted to tease anyone, she could pull Qingxi's sleeve. The few young mistresses who were selected were all people that Second Miss Jiang was not used to secretly looking at, however, Second Miss Xu was one of them, which surprised me a little.

It seemed like even an astute person like Second Miss Xu would lose her public opinion!

Afterwards, Second Miss Jiang also took her seat. Following the knock of the maidservant, the box was discarded without anyone throwing it. It was my turn to throw a crabapple flower, and they all laughed and said that people like me should throw an orchid to keep their cool.

After the meal, I still wanted to go play with people like Miss Xue and Miss Xu who haven't been thrown in yet. I hurriedly told them that I was taking a nap and found a maid to accompany me to Miss Jiang's courtyard.

Unlike the last time I came here, the room was filled with all kinds of random things. There was only a glass bowl and a few bottles on top of the treasure house, which made it seem less lively. Big Miss Jiang was sitting on the brick bed practicing calligraphy. When she saw me enter the house, she quickly pulled on her shoes and came out to greet me.

"What about your things?" The one who served me tea was the beautiful maidservant who was walking at the back. I couldn't help but take a few more glances at her after receiving the cup, causing a pretty girl to blush.

"It's all packed in the inner room!" Big Miss Jiang sighed helplessly as she stretched her hand to fold up the toilet paper that she had not finished writing.

"Big sister, isn't it the middle of next month? Why are you packing up so early?" After drinking the tea, I couldn't help but laugh to myself. Just how many cups of Peach Blossom tea did the Fang family send over for her to drink? Did he decide not to drink his mother's tea at all?

"Isn't it all my mother? She said that we should clean up as soon as possible. I'm afraid that she might have missed something!" Big Miss Jiang grumbled with a chuckle as she brought a plate of pastries over. "Try it, this is made with your recipe. The noodles look similar, but the taste is vastly worse! It just so happens that you're here. I still need your pointers! "

I chuckled dryly and reached my hand out to grab a piece to try. I said, "Elder sister, you should add more sugar and use some milk to taste it!"

Big Miss Jiang asked doubtfully, "Milk?" Is that okay? "

"Elder sister, if we don't try, how would we know …" After some nonsense, he finally managed to deceive this matter.

"Elder sister, why are you still practicing writing at this time?" I saw a trace of ink on Lady Jiang's hand. I smiled as I wiped it away with my handkerchief. "Could it be that you've finished your embroidery work and have nothing better to do?"

The bride's present was for the bride's wife, who came to observe the ceremony. The bride's gift was either an embroidered handkerchief or a pair of shoes. It all depended on one's skill. Judging from the Fang family's appearance, they were not some small family or household. It seemed like the fifth house still had no branch family and still lived in the same place. When a nephew married a wife, the aunts would naturally come to give him gifts.

"How many pairs have you got?" I looked at the tired pile of shoes by the kang and could not help laughing and sighing.

"There are already 14 pairs, and I'm still 19 pairs behind!" Eldest Miss Jiang frowned and sighed with deep bitterness and hatred.

Unexpectedly, there were more than thirty women in the Fang family!

"Why don't you make some for your sister-in-law? These shoes are a bit too troublesome!" I smiled and saw that she had already embroidered a pair of exquisite and delicate shoes with a pair of dashing butterflies and flowers.

"How would I not know!" Eldest Miss Xue smiled, "I didn't see my maidservants busy putting on jade pendants and embroidered bags!"

"Was that servant girl earlier a pair with your sister?" I smiled and pointed to the tea in front of me.

"So they were all maidservants in my grandmother's house. Afterwards, they were sent to serve my brother. My brother didn't like them so he gave them to us." Big Miss Jiang spoke calmly.

Remembering the maid's sparkling white skin, her black and white peach blossom eyes, her delicate cheeks that could be broken by the wind, and her cotton-like lips, I couldn't help but sigh.

Lady Qingxi, who was beside Second Miss Jiang, was mischievous and innocent; she had a straightforward personality and was elegant and pretty. On the other hand, the girl that Eldest Miss Jiang left behind was gentle and sentimental, charming and delicate.

"Are you prepared...?" I stared at her as if I were referring to something.

Normally, when a young master was fourteen or fifteen years old, he would have a maid to teach him how to live in the room. Since this Second Young Master Fang was already nineteen, he naturally already knew about it. Some of the maidservants had grown up together with their masters, and they had fallen in love with each other. As the servants in the rooms, they had become one with each other, with mutual wishful thinking. Many young misses were nominally matriarchs, but they were secretly under the control of such a maidservant. Therefore, many families would pick out a few beautiful maidservants for their daughters in order to win over their young master's heart.

Eldest Miss Jiang nodded dejectedly. Her eyebrows didn't have much of a sorrowful air, only a faint hint of melancholy.

"What will you do if she is pregnant?" I suddenly wanted to know if I was going to kiss these young ladies who were reluctant to step on ants and kill them.

"I took my pulse a while ago …" Eldest Miss Jiang lowered her eyes and gave a bitter smile. "Then mister has said that my womb is chilled, and that my body is not easy to conceive."

That was why he picked the most beautiful one out of the two maids.

"I'm the only one raising a child in the house. She'll just have to be obedient to her aunt. I coldly look at her. She's not someone who doesn't know how to weigh the consequences!" Eldest Miss Jiang picked up the cup of tea and took a sip, her smile returning to normal.

Sometimes, even if you were to roll on the floor and crawl, crying and kneeling down to beg for others' pity might not be enough for a single moment of concern. It would be better to wash your face, put on a clean set of clothes and dry your face.

Seeing that Eldest Miss Jiang understood everything so clearly, I had nothing to worry about. I could only tease her, "You're being a little too impatient! Now you are just thinking about your child! "

"I was just helpless. Madam Fang hasn't been doing well for the past few years, and her heart is only focused on seeing this grandson who grew up with her get married and then close her eyes to rest at ease." Eldest Miss Jiang sighed to herself as she turned the teacup in her hand with an absent-minded look.

If Madame Fang closed her eyes, she wouldn't make the slightest mistake during her three years of mourning. By then, Miss Jiang would not be young anymore.

"Let's not talk about this anymore!" Big Miss Jiang was the first to drop the troublesome topic. With a mischievous expression, she asked, "What the hell are you doing? You even wrote to ask me to prepare a banquet. I can't just invite you!"

"I'm not thinking about you leaving, we want to take a look at you too!" I laughed and laughed at her.

"Stop coming with me!" Big Miss Jiang laughed and hit me on the head, "Do you think I don't know what you and Rou-Er are up to?!"

I covered my head and exclaimed, "Aiyah, elder sister, since you already know about it, why are you still asking me!" "You two are too mischievous!" Big Miss Jiang laughed heartily.

"This is what you call having a sister!" Just like Miss Jiang, I shot her a glare and we both fell on the brick bed laughing.
