Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Ye Jintang didn't know when Xiao Mo went to the morning court the next day.

She slept until noon.

As soon as I stood up, I felt every inch of my flesh and every bone in my body was sore.

"Xiao Mo, you bastard, are you trying to make up for what you lost some time ago? You might as well just tire me to death."

Ye Jintang got up and washed up, cursing, and first drank a glass of spring water to relieve his fatigue.

Near noon, Nanny Zhang came to ask Ye Jintang how to treat Ting Yuxuan.

"Miss Liang wants to come over to pay her respects to the Empress. Does the Empress want to see her?"

"Let her come over. We can't just leave her alone in Tingyuxuan forever."

"Yes."

At this moment, Ye Jintang was also a little confused about how she should treat Liang Zhiyun.

If she is really Xiao Mo's biological sister, then she is a princess, and her status is naturally extremely noble.

But if she was just an ordinary citizen, to be honest, Ye Jintang really didn't have time to chat with her.

Although Xiao Mo has returned to the palace, there are still many court affairs waiting for her to deal with.

Besides, she would be better off spending more time with her three children than wasting that time on irrelevant people. It would be a real shame.

After a long while, Liang Zhiyun came in to pay her respects to Ye Jintang.

As soon as they met, she bowed deeply to Ye Jintang, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen."

The word "servant" scared Ye Jintang so much that he almost dropped the account book in his hand to the ground.

"Miss Liang, you are not a concubine in the emperor's harem, so there is no need to call yourself a concubine."

"Madam Liu, please find two maids to accompany Miss Liang back to Tingyuxuan to teach him some rules in the palace so that he won't make a fool of himself."

"Yes, I will go and select someone right away."

After Madam Liu saluted and left, Liang Zhiyun, who was kneeling on the ground, had her face flushed red. She was not very clear about the rules of the palace, and she only knew how to salute after asking the palace maids.

I didn't expect it to be wrong.

After hesitating for a moment, Liang Zhiyun said uncertainly, "It is my ignorance that has made you laugh, Madam."

"You don't have to call yourself a slave. You are not my slave. You can call yourself a commoner."

"Thank you, Queen, for your advice."

Liang Zhiyun was very confused. She was obviously Xiao Mo's concubine, so why did she have to call herself a commoner and not a concubine?

Having just made such a big joke, she didn't want to ask Ye Jintang again. She thought that Ye Jintang had found a nanny to teach her the rules, so she would ask them later.

"You can stay in the palace for a while. When the emperor is done with his work, we can discuss how to accommodate you."

When Liang Zhiyun heard Ye Jintang say this, she was full of questions. She had already entered the palace, and it would only take a word for Xiao Mo to give her a position, so why was he dragging it out?

Although she had doubts in her heart, she did not dare to ask in front of Ye Jintang.

After all, Ye Jintang's identity is there, and she is now just a peasant girl who is looked at a few more times by Xiao Mo.

"Okay, go back."

"Yes, the civilian girl is resigning."

Liang Zhiyun went back to Tingyuxuan after meeting Ye Jintang. On the way back, she thought about it and felt that just sitting there and waiting for death was not a solution.

If Ye Jintang interferes and prevents her from meeting the emperor, it won't take long for the emperor to forget her. She must take the initiative. Only in this way can she stay in the palace.

But how to stay made Liang Zhiyun quite distressed.

The winter solstice arrived not long after Xiao Mo returned to the palace. Jin Yuan brought back news that Zheng Hai had traveled south a few months ago. He had already sent people to look for him, and it would probably take some time before he could enter the palace to meet the emperor.

Zheng Hai is the key to Liang Zhiyun's identity. If he doesn't come back, the matter will be put on hold. Liang Zhiyun lives in the palace. She has the same birthmark as Xiao Mo's sister, which can be regarded as fate. Ye Jintang didn't treat her harshly and kept her well fed and well-drinked.

On the winter solstice, sacrificial activities will be arranged in the Heavenly Palace. Liang Zhiyun, who had not seen Xiao Mo for several days, finally saw him standing with Ye Jintang from afar.

Both of them wore extremely solemn court robes. They walked up to the altar side by side to accept the kneeling worship of all the people.

Liang Zhiyun was so jealous that she was going crazy. She also hoped that one day she could stand beside Xiao Mo like Ye Jintang.

The various activities for the Winter Solstice Heavenly Worship were very complicated. After being busy all of them, Ye Jintang felt as if his whole body was falling apart.

The court robes in winter were particularly thick and heavy, and with a golden crown made of pure gold, it was equivalent to her carrying fifty or sixty kilograms of weight when she offered sacrifices to the heavens.

It would be strange if you weren't tired after carrying such a heavy thing for a long time.

Xiao Mo was not much better than Ye Jintang. In the past, he used less gold in his crown, so it was not that heavy.

But this year the national treasury is full, and the craftsmen in the palace also made a gorgeous crown for Xiao Mo.

In order to look good, the weight cannot be too light. Xiao Mo finally experienced the pain of his neck being pressed by the crown.

After finally waiting for the ceremony to end, Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang just wanted to return to Wutong Palace and change out of their cumbersome clothes.

As a result, they met Liang Zhiyun before they had taken a few steps.

Ye Jintang did not treat Liang Zhiyun harshly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Her clothes were almost the same as those of the nobles.

Liang Zhiyun specially chose a light purple dress to attend the winter solstice worship today, and even wore a gold hairpin on her head. Her outfit was much more noble than the day she entered the palace, and it also made her look a little more beautiful than before.

"I, Liang Zhiyun, greet the Emperor and the Empress."

"I haven't seen you for a while. You must be used to living in the palace."

"Your Majesty, everything is fine."

"Okay. They say it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Although your leg injury has almost healed, you can't be careless. Just rest assured and recuperate in the palace."

"Yes."

The injuries on Liang Zhiyun's body had actually healed long ago, and Xiao Mo said this just to give her an excuse to stay in the palace.

She wanted to say a few more words to Xiao Mo, but unfortunately Xiao Mo didn't give her the chance and quickly walked past her.

Ever since Xiao Mo had an argument with Ye Jintang last time, he realized that countless people would be watching his every move. He treated Liang Zhiyun as his sister, but others did not think so.

Before the truth comes out, it would be better for him to keep a distance from Liang Zhiyun to avoid causing more rumors.

The news that Xiao Mo ignored Liang Zhiyun in front of everyone spread quickly, and those who were ready to make a move became a little worried about whether it was a wise move to send someone to the harem at this time.
