Halfway through the journey, I ran into Xinnan. As soon as she saw her sister, she threw herself into her sister's arms with her short legs spread out: "Sister, Nan'er misses you!"

Xinhe held the little fat boy in her arms and shook him. Sure enough, he had gained weight again. Xinhe smiled and tapped her brother's forehead: "You have gained weight again. Did you eat a lot again?"

Ji Wanran has been in poor health recently, and all her attention has been focused on her eldest daughter, so she is not so concerned about disciplining Xinnan.

Without his mother watching over him, the fat boy immediately let himself go and ate as much as he could until he gained weight again.

Xin Nan rubbed her sister's face shyly: "No, Nan'er has been studying and practicing martial arts with Brother Shen. Brother Shen said that as long as you practice well, it doesn't matter if you are a little fat."

To prove his words, the little fat boy puffed out his chest and said, "If you don't believe me, look, Nan'er is very strong and powerful! He is invincible!"

This little fat boy relied on the Empress's love and the pampering of several princes. When he was practicing martial arts in the palace, the other study companions gave in to him. This little guy thought he was invincible.

Seeing the little fat boy's smug look, Xinhe and Liu Niang both laughed. Xinhe put her heavy brother down, held his chubby hand and said, "I know, our Nan'er is the best. Let's go, follow your sister to see mother."

Xinhe brought Xinnan and Liu Niang into Ji Wanran's room. When they looked up, they saw Qingyan bringing a bowl of medicine to Ji Wanran, gently persuading Ji Wanran to drink the medicine quickly.

Seeing her eldest daughter being so filial, Ji Wanran drank the medicine with a smile. Qingyan quickly handed Ji Wanran a piece of dessert: "Mother, the medicine is bitter. This is a dessert made by my daughter. Please try it."

Ji Wanran was so moved that her eyes were full of smiles: "The maids and cooks will make the snacks. You don't have to bear the hardship."

Qingyan replied even more gently: "Even if it's a little tiring, I'm willing to do it. Mother asked me to do more for her. I haven't been able to serve you for such a long time. Now that I'm back, I will naturally do more. I'm not afraid of being tired."

Mother Lin smiled as she carried the dessert plate for Qingyan. She bowed and said to Ji Wanran, "Madam, you don't know that the eldest lady has learned from the cook in the mansion for a long time in order to make this dessert. Madam, please try the eldest lady's cooking."

Ji Wanran smiled even more deeply and nodded repeatedly: "Well, Yan'er's cooking is naturally delicious. Very sweet."

Xinhe and Xinnan stood at the door and looked at the mother and daughter smiling at each other. However, Xinhe felt mixed emotions. Since her sister came back, she and her mother had not had such a happy time together for a long time.

Little Tuanzi, however, didn't have so many worries. Seeing his mother eating so happily, he had already become greedy: "Mom, Nan'er also wants to try the snacks made by big sister."

Ji Wanran then saw her second daughter and youngest son at the door. She reached out and hugged Xinnan who jumped into her arms, handed him a piece of dessert, and waved to Xinhe with a smile: "Nannan, come to your mother, you should try some too, the dessert your sister made is delicious."

Xin He walked to her mother obediently. Liu Niang moved a chair and placed it next to Ji Wanran. Xin He sat down and took a bite of the snack her mother handed over. She nodded to her mother and Qingyan: "It really tastes good. Sister is really skillful."

Xin He chewed the snack slowly, thinking of Nian Liu's nagging in her ear yesterday: "The eldest lady loves to do things for appearances. She always runs to the kitchen, saying that she wants to make snacks and soup for the lady. Everyone in the house knows that she is filial to the lady, but in fact, it is the cook who does it, and the eldest lady just stands by and watches."

Xinhe raised her eyes to look at Qingyan, but Qingyan seemed to be afraid of her and timidly moved closer to Ji Wanran. Ji Wanran noticed her eldest daughter's action and looked at Xinhe.

Xin He blinked at her mother innocently: "Mom, you have been taking this medicine for so long, why don't we change doctors and take another look? Why is it that it keeps coming back and forth and not getting better?"

Xin He reached out to wipe the snack foam from the corner of her brother's mouth, who was shaking his head while eating, and said, "Otherwise, I will go to the palace and ask the Queen to send you a powerful doctor."

Qingyan heard Xinhe mention the Empress again, as if she was showing off how favored she was by the Empress. She felt annoyed and said with a forced smile, "Yes, mother, my sister is favored by the Empress, so it's good for the Empress to send you a capable imperial physician. We are benefiting from my sister. However, we are subjects after all. Even if my sister is favored, we can't take advantage of it and let others say that our Qin family is presumptuous behind our backs, right?"

Xin He felt like rolling her eyes at her sister when she heard her sister's sour tone. She looked at Qing Yan and said, "Sister, according to Daddy's rank, he can ask the imperial physician to see him. This is the grace that the Emperor bestows on his most trusted subjects. How can you say that we are being presumptuous?"

Ji Wanran felt a headache when she saw her two daughters starting to have nothing to say to each other after sitting together for a while. She pressed her temples to stop the two from talking.

"Okay, mom is fine, daughter, don't worry. By the way, daughter, mom asked you to come here because she has something to tell you." Ji Wanran looked at the little girl in her arms and signaled Liu Niang to take Xinnan out to play.

After eating a snack, Xiaotuanzi was still not satisfied and reached out to take another piece. Before leaving, he earnestly reminded Xinhe: "Sister, remember to bring Nan'er with you when you go to the palace. Nan'er also misses the Queen."

After hearing what her brother said, Qingyan couldn't help sobbing again: "Mother, please listen, there are three children in the family, but I am the only one who can't enter the palace. I am so sad."

Ji Wanran patted her eldest daughter's back comfortingly, and looked up at Xinhe: "Nannan, your sister said something wrong some time ago, which made the Queen angry, and your father punished her. But the Queen has not lifted the ban on your sister entering the palace. Seeing that the palace banquet is about to come, if your sister can't enter the palace at that time, won't our Qin Mansion be laughed at. Mother thought that maybe the Queen was busy with palace affairs and forgot about this matter. How about you go to the palace to remind the Queen?"

Xin He understood that her mother had asked her to come so that her sister could enter the palace smoothly. The Queen Mother had not forgotten about this matter, she remembered it very clearly. The last time she entered the palace, the Queen Mother was angry when she mentioned her sister.

The queen was very angry about her sister slandering her behind her back and ruining her reputation, and she would never forgive her sister easily. Xinhe thought of the queen's protection of her, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly.

However, when she saw her mother looking at her eagerly, she felt a little sad. She thought that she had suffered such a great injustice, but she could still defend herself blindly. Why did her mother forgive her sister so easily, as if it was her fault that her sister was punished.

Xinhe couldn't help but think, if she hadn't been stranded in the Dark Guard Camp in her previous life, and could have been found like Qingyan is now, would her mother also protect her and give her all her love?
