The sisters were still hesitant and worried. Tang Xirou couldn't help but lower her head, her voice a little shy and a little annoyed.

"I...I am pleased with him..."

Tang Xiluo: “…I know.” Otherwise she wouldn’t be called lovesick.

Tang Xirou held her sister's hand and said, "I want to take the initiative this time, is that okay?"

Tang Xiluo patted her hands helplessly: "Of course, people should live for themselves."

Since she is willing, it is not easy for me to reject her.

Tang Xirou's expression relaxed a little. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. By chance, she got a chance to get close to him.

Tang Xiluo couldn't help but feel sad when she saw her happy expression. It was not that she was deliberately trying to undermine her sister's self-confidence at this moment.

"Will Dad agree? Besides, I may not be selected in the talent show..."

The smile that Tang Xirou had just raised froze. It should be easy to talk to her father, but it might not be so easy as to the talent show.

"I want to give it a try. Even if the result is not satisfactory, I will not regret it." You will regret it if you give up before you even try.

Tang Xiluo nodded, and finally patted the back of her hand soothingly: "Don't think too much, your eyes are swollen from crying, go get some sleep."

As for the rest, it was up to her. She would fulfill her sister's wish.

After watching the person fall asleep, she stood up and left quietly.

At the door, she instructed Tang Xirou's personal maid: "Take good care of your sister. If you have any problems, come to me directly."

"Yes!" Fortunately, there was the Second Miss, otherwise she and the Miss wouldn't know what to do.

When I got to the main hall, everyone had already left. I didn't know where the mother and daughter of the Lin family had gone. Were they confined to the ancestral hall to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures? Or were they punished to kneel?

Only Tang Xijing sat in the main seat with a haggard look on his face, supporting his forehead with one hand and looking down, making it impossible to tell what his expression was, but the powerlessness, decadence and weakness he exuded could not be ignored.

"Daddy..."

Tang Xijing looked at his second daughter with a guilty look in his eyes: "Daddy is sorry for you two sisters."

Tang Xiluo rarely continued to provoke him, but said calmly: "It has come to this point, there is no point in saying anything else."

Tang Xijing looked at the boxes of hot potatoes in the main hall, not knowing whether to accept them or return them.

Tang Xiluo sighed: "Entering the palace for selection can break this situation."

Tang Xijing was stunned: "This!... This is not a joke..."

If his daughter married into the Gao family, he could still help her a little, but if she entered the palace, there would be nothing he could do to help her!

Tang Xiluo glanced at him and said, "Dad, do you think that you can take care of your sister after she marries into the Gao family?"

Tang Xijing didn't reply, but his expression showed his agreement.

Tang Xiluo raised his lips sarcastically: "Sister is in Tang Xi Mansion. You can't even take care of her at home, let alone her getting married?"

Tang Xijing's body trembled uncontrollably. His daughter's words hurt him, but it was the fact and he was powerless to refute it.

Tang Xiluo continued, "Instead of marrying such a cowardly and worthless husband, it is better to marry the emperor of the world. If you can't protect him, I will."

Tang Xijing was shocked by this sentence. His two daughters were grown up and he was no longer useful...

"Does your sister agree with this matter?"

"My sister said she would."

Tang Xijing fell into deep thought for a long time: "Let me think about it again."

Tang Xiluo nodded: "Then you continue to think about it, I will go back to the palace."

Inside the carriage, Xiaoli was puzzled.

"Miss, the Gao family proposed marriage first, can you enter the palace smoothly?" Even the emperor cannot be so domineering...

Tang Xiluo smiled and said, "Our prince is not just a decoration." From her observation, the two brothers have a good relationship.

But the prince is not a man who follows the rules, and the emperor is willing to listen to his suggestions on many things.

After returning to the palace, Tang Xiluo went to the kitchen to get some cakes for the study, which was unprecedented.

"My subordinates see you, Princess."

Lei Er and Lei San stood at the door of the study and saluted when they saw the people coming.

The princess went out in a hurry a few days ago without informing the prince. The prince was now in his study, angry and had not come out for several hours.

This makes their subordinates feel nervous.

Now the princess is back, and she even brought a food box herself. She must be here to appease the prince, right? They all felt relieved.

Before Tang Xiluo could speak, Lei Er answered directly: "The master is in the study, Princess, please go in."

In the study, Zhan Jingchen read a book for several hours but didn't turn a few pages.

When he heard the noise at the door, his ears pricked up involuntarily, and he frowned after hearing Lei Er's words.

He is becoming more and more daring by making decisions on his own!

The next moment, the study door was pushed open.

Zhan Jingchen looked at the book without looking up.

Tang Xiluo performed the ceremony in a proper manner. After all, asking for help from others was not an honorable thing to do.

"I pay my respects to the prince."

Zhan Jingchen frowned even more, with a puzzled look on his face. What was going on? She would take the initiative to salute?

I used to think she had no rules and acted recklessly.

Now she was gentle and polite, yet strange, as if there was a gap between them.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Tang Xiluo walked forward and put the food box on his desk.

"Has the prince had his meal yet?" As soon as she entered the mansion, she heard the housekeeper say that the bastard had not had lunch yet.

That's why I went to the kitchen to pack up the food. I took the initiative to speak now just to find a topic to start with.

Seeing her being so attentive, Zhan Jingchen couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He wondered why this woman had become so polite today.

No one would come to see me for no reason. She must have something to ask of me.

"What are you doing here? If you have nothing else, please leave. I am very busy."

Tang Xiluo: “…”

"I just want to show some concern for you, Your Majesty..."

Zhan Jingchen sighed, put down the book in his hand, and looked at her steadily.

“No time to wait.”

Tang Xiluo was speechless. Why did he have to be so blunt? He felt a little embarrassed.

"I do have something to ask of you, but I am mainly concerned about your health."

Zhan Jingchen's mouth twitched. Mainly because he wanted to ask for something, right?

"What's the matter?"

Tang Xiluo walked behind the man, put her two white and tender hands on his temples, and rubbed them slowly.

"When will the emperor select the concubines?"

Zhan Jingchen was stunned. He didn't expect her to ask so directly. This was extremely treasonous. The selection of concubines was a major royal event, involving the former dynasty and the harem.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tang Xiluo continued to ask, "Who is on the list of candidates? Can I add my elder sister's name?"

Zhan Jingchen was stunned: "You?..."

Tang Xiluo blinked and said, "My father is the general of Zhenyuan, and my elder sister is the eldest daughter, so she should be qualified to enter the palace."
