I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

As soon as Yang Liu stepped into the palace gate, a cup fell towards her and hit her feet. Yang Liu was stunned for a moment.

"Mother, what happened?" Yang Liu walked around the broken cup and asked subconsciously.

"It would have been fine in the past, you would have known to inform me. Today I only said a few words to you, why did you come back at this hour?" Queen Zhang Jiuyue complained in an angry tone.

"I went to see father and find a place for Jin Yuan to live. It was getting late and I was in a hurry, so I forgot to tell mother. Please forgive me, mother. Don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health." Yang Liu explained with comfort in her words.

The queen frowned as she looked at him, and glared at him with some disappointment. Yang Liu saw this and hurried forward to massage his shoulders and legs, looking like a good daughter.

"Don't be angry, mother. I know I was wrong."

The queen poked Yang Liu's head with her fingertips and sighed with a helpless and amused look: "You, you really only care about your sister."

Yang Liu's eyes were innocent and pure, and she smiled gently, "After all, she is my biological sister..."

"Your Majesty agrees?"

"Father let her live in the next-door Half Moon Tower. Mother, Jin Yuan has been through a lot today. Can I go and keep her company?"

Yang Liu took the queen's sleeve and shook it gently with a flattering smile. The queen was helpless. The other person was willing to be kind and they were her own sister. She couldn't be the bad person who hindered them.

"Don't delay your studies tomorrow."

The queen brought Yang Liu, who was clinging to her and acting coquettishly, to her front, thought for a moment, and then spoke seriously.

"But Chaoyuan, as your mother, I still have to warn you that in the palace, family affection is secondary. Don't lose your sense of propriety, understand?"

Every word was a reminder. This was not the first time Zhang Jiuyue had said this to Yang Liu.

"I know, mother. I'll take my leave first then." Yang Liu said while looking at the queen's expression.

"Go ahead, go ahead. Don't get in my way." Zhang Jiuyue scolded with a smile, raised her hand and waved, asking Yang Liu to leave quickly.

"Thank you, mother!" When Yang Liu heard her speak, she bowed happily and left in a flash.

"Really, she is so naughty, exactly like Ling'er..." Empress Zhang was moved as she watched Yang Liu's departing back.

The nanny at the side watched and also smiled and answered for her master: "After all, the eldest princess grew up under the strict teachings of the queen, so she is naturally different from the second princess."

"Chaoyuan is not like Chaoling. She doesn't belong here. She should have a more eccentric personality..." Her tone was full of helplessness, and it was unclear whether it was for Yang Liu or Liu Chaoling.

……

"Jinyuan." Yang Liu appeared silently behind Liu Jinyuan and whispered in his ear.

Liu Jinyuan was frightened and trembled. He turned around suddenly and bumped into Yang Liu in the face.

"Ouch!"

Yang Liu covered her nose and took two steps back, screaming. If she had known this, she would not have climbed in through the window to scare her.

Liu Jinyuan was also frightened by Yang Liu. Seeing her face full of pain and covering her face, he panicked and hurried to check.

"Sister, is it broken? Let me have a look."

Yang Liu raised her hand to stop Liu Jinyuan's actions, pressed her palm against the bridge of her nose and rubbed it hard a few times, sniffing her nose before she recovered.

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't get hurt, don't worry."

Fortunately, Yang Liu didn't let Liu Jinyuan have a nosebleed. Her nose was sore and painful, and her eyes were filled with tears. She saw that Liu Jinyuan felt a little guilty and was at a loss like a frightened rabbit. She rubbed her nose with one hand and reached out to rub Liu Jinyuan's head with the other hand.

"It was just a bump, not a piercing blow from a sword or spear. There's no need to panic."

Liu Jinyuan was stunned, then raised his hand to cover the man's mouth and scolded him.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Yang Liu grabbed her hand and smiled, not thinking anything of it. But seeing that Liu Jinyuan was really serious and thinking about what had happened today, she agreed with her.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. I still have to watch Jinyuan grow up." Yang Liu coaxed him happily and pushed him into the main room. She had already asked someone to bring food. They were all simple foods that Liu Jinyuan liked.

It has been a whole day today, and as far as she knows, Liu Jinyuan probably hasn't eaten yet.

As soon as they entered the main hall, they saw a table full of food. Yang Liu's personal maid and another maid were setting the table for the dishes. When they saw Yang Liu and Liu Jinyuan coming in, they hurried forward to pay their respects.

"Second Princess, Third Princess, dinner is ready."

"Okay, who is this girl?" Yang Liu nodded, looked at another palace maid, and asked in confusion.

"Princess, have you forgotten? She is Xiaotao." Cuiping blinked and explained immediately.

"Xiao Tao? Weren't you transferred to the laundry shop? Why are you back?" After hearing Cuiping's words, Yang Liu turned his gaze to another person and asked subconsciously.

"Replying to the Second Princess, the Emperor has transferred me back because the princess has returned." Xiao Tao knelt down and nodded in greeting to Yang Liu. Yang Liu suddenly realized that there was such a quiet little girl in the original palace.

"Now that you're back, take good care of Jinyuan. She's timid, so you have to protect her from time to time, okay?" Yang Liu said casually, and then took Liu Jinyuan to sit down.

"Jinyuan, try some, they are all your favorites. After you finish eating, we can chat. You are particularly upset today, and I will comfort you then."

Yang Liu picked up the bamboo chopsticks and picked up a piece of hot dish for Liu Jinyuan and put it on the rice. Adhering to the upbringing of not talking while eating or sleeping, the two of them didn't say anything more. They just fed the other person one by one. It was not until Liu Jinyuan really couldn't hold it anymore that he raised his hand to stop Yang Liu from feeding him continuously.

"Sister, that's enough."

"Ah? Don't you want to eat more? You've become so thin that you barely look like your sister anymore."

In fact, Yang Liu was wrong. In order to achieve a one-to-one similarity with Liu Jinyuan, she lived frugally every time she was almost there. The only difference between her and Liu Jinyuan was that mole and her temperament.

"But sister, I really can't eat anymore."

Liu Jinyuan put down her bowl and chopsticks and pushed them away, indicating that she really didn't want to eat anymore. Only then did Yang Liu let her go and stopped picking up any more food for her.

"Okay, then I won't eat it."

After making sure that Liu Jinyuan really couldn't eat anymore, Yang Liu put the food into his mouth and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

The two of them found a pavilion in the back garden and sat down, one in front and one behind. Cuiping and Xiaotao lit the lights and left quietly, leaving the two of them alone looking at each other.

"Sister, what should we do in the future? I can't imagine..." Liu Jinyuan looked at Yang Liu, the confusion in his eyes was obvious.

In the past, when her mother was around, she felt that she had to accompany her mother in the cold palace to get by, and she would help her sister with whatever she wanted to do, and she lived like this all her life.

But now that her mother is gone, what should she do? Accompany her sister? But her sister seems to have so many secrets, and she is so far away from her...
