With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

In the following days, Emperor Mingde and the Empress were very busy.

Since we know that this winter will be difficult, arrangements for disaster relief in various places, preparations for disaster relief silver and materials, and military pay at the border all need to be prepared in advance.

We also need to send people to keep an eye on Zhang Tianzhen. The Taoist temples and monasteries in the capital are really scary if you don't check them.

Fortunately, those crimes are now under control and will never be covered up again.

Xiao Qianqian was very bored. It was very cold with wind and snow outside, and her mother wouldn't let her go out.

What can she do?

I can only do my best to cheer up Erdan. Poor Erdan is a snow wolf. He either serves as a sandbag or a meat cushion for the little princess all day long.

But it has a good temper and doesn't get angry. It is happy no matter how the little princess tosses it.

As the end of the year approached, the Queen's tasks were finally almost completed with the help of Jiang Mingzhu and her three sisters.

There was a warm atmosphere in Fengqi Palace. The Queen and Luqiao were preparing red envelopes for their subordinates. When they looked up, they saw Xiao Qianqian, who was playing with Erdan, standing up by climbing onto Erdan's huge body.

The queen was stunned. After a long while, she finally spoke, "Qian, Qian, Qian, can you stand up now?"

[Yes, that’s awesome, right? I’m a little genius.]

The queen put down the banknotes in her hand and hugged Xiao Qianqian. "It's amazing that our Qianqian can stand on her own feet," she said, kissing the little girl several times. "You are worthy of being my daughter."

Xiao Qianqian was so tickled by her mother that she could not stop laughing. She finally waited until Emperor Mingde hurried over from court...

Oh my God, can his little girl stand?

Why didn’t he see it the first time? Ahhhh, sigh.

He happily ran to the queen and his daughter, and hugged them tightly in his arms, "Haha, Qianqian can stand now, that's amazing."

Queen...

The smile on his face froze and he moved his body uncomfortably. Emperor Mingde was afraid of upsetting the empress so he immediately let go of her hand and rubbed Erdan several times to hide his embarrassment.

[Hahahaha, father is so funny, so funny and so humble.]

[Well, little princess,] the system's melon-eating radar sounded again, [your mother's concubine's sister has come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.]

【Um? 】

Xiao Qianqian was a little puzzled. When the queen heard this, her smile froze for a moment. [No, whose concubine's sister? My mother? Doesn't the Lin family not accept concubines? ]

[Well, it’s not your grandpa’s fault. When he was young, he was fighting at the border and was assassinated and lost his memory, so he married a border girl.]

[That woman died during childbirth, and the girl she gave birth to is your mother's concubine sister Lin Can.]

[Ah,] Xiao Qianqian threw himself on Erdan and rolled around wantonly, [Let’s just say that my grandparents’ house has some special attraction to amnesia?]

[Well,] the system smiled bitterly, [It's hard to say, but your aunt's family also has a big melon.]

[Big melon? What kind of melon?]

The system immediately shared, [It's about the gossip about the real and fake daughter. Your aunt Lin Can has three children, two sons and one daughter. The eldest daughter was swapped. ]

[Switched? Who did it? Could it be my uncle? Ah, another concubine drama? ]

[This doesn’t seem to be the case. It seems to be a toxic bestie. But if you want to know the whole story, you need to meet her in person. ]

Xiao Qianqian...

I thought I would have to wait a long time for this melon, but I didn’t expect that Lin Can would come to Fengqi Palace to see the queen the next day.

Since Xiao Qianqian was able to stand up, she feels much freer and she likes to walk around on her short legs.

The queen did not restrict her. As long as she stayed in Fengqi Palace and did not leave, she could go wherever she wanted.

When Lin Can arrived at the main hall of Fengqi Palace, he saw Xiao Qianqian walking around happily, holding the tail of a big white dog.

She curled her lips, bowed to the queen and looked for a seat, then stared at Xiao Qianqian with disdain and said, "Second sister, you are too spoiled. The eldest princess of the royal family is so precious. How can she be in the company of a beast?"

"Roar."

Erdan’s low roar startled Lin Can. She looked in the direction of the voice and was met with a pair of dark blue and cold animal eyes.

She took a breath, slowly stroked her chest, and looked at the queen unhappily, "Second sister,"

The queen raised her hand to stop her, "You better shut up, Erdan is a very spiritual snow wolf, don't say bad things about him, he will hold a grudge."

"what?"

Lin Can was so scared that she covered her mouth and almost jumped up from the chair. She looked at Xiao Qianqian in horror as he used his hands and feet to climb onto the snow wolf.

It took a long while before he found his voice again. "Are you really not afraid, Second Sister? That's a wolf, a beast."

Remembering the Queen's reminder just now, she swallowed the word "beast" with great difficulty, and glanced at the snow wolf in fear as if she was afraid of being suddenly attacked.

[Tsk, Tongzi, I declare that I don’t like this little aunt.]

Xiao Qianqian rolled her eyes at Lin Can, and the system was also a little unhappy. [Little Princess, your aunt is really not that good. Her husband is Xu Dingcheng, the governor of Fengzhou in Jiangnan. Xu Dingcheng is very good at scheming.]

[Although he has not done anything wicked, he is not a good official. Your aunt is a love-brained person and is devoted to Xu Dingcheng and the Xu family.]

【Ah,】 Xiao Qianqian was depressed, 【Love-brained? I hate it the most.】

[That’s not all.] The system smiled bitterly. [Your aunt has had two best friends since she was a child. One is Wang Ruyan, the successor of Zhu Yuan, the Minister of the Dali Temple, who grew up with her. The other is Li Sanniang, the wife of the richest man in Jiangnan.]

【Oh, what happened to these two besties? 】

[Well, Wang Ruyan is a true friend, and Li Sanniang is a toxic bestie,] the system said calmly, [your aunt, who was instigated by Li Sanniang to hate Wang Ruyan, is so nice to Li Sanniang.]

[But what she didn't know was that Li Sanniang was extremely jealous of her. When your aunt gave birth, she took the opportunity to exchange her own daughter with her, and sent her own daughter to the countryside in Jiangnan to suffer.]

Queen...

She paused while drinking tea. She took a deep look at her impatient concubine sister. Seeing that she was always glancing at Qian Qian with an unfriendly look, she frowned and ordered, "Luqiao, take Erdan to the side hall to eat some dried meat."

When he heard that there was food, Erdan's eyes lit up immediately. He grinned and took small steps, leaving Xiao Qianqian without looking back, and followed Luqiao happily.

Xiao Qianqian...

[Tongzi, we can't keep Erdan anymore. Look at him, he has milk but his mother is worthless.]

[Hahahaha,] the system laughed, [Little princess, Erdan still loves you the most.]

[Hmph,] Xiao Qianqian said proudly as he walked towards his mother, [It’s the best.]

Finally, throwing himself into his mother's arms, Xiao Qianqian asked, "What about my cousin who was replaced?"

[Little princess, your cousin is now called Dahua. She is in a place called Luoshui Village in Fengzhou, Jiangnan, and is being tortured by Li Dazhuang's family.]

[Ah? What should I do? I really want to tell my mother. ]

The Queen looked at Lin Can, who was relieved, with an indescribable expression on her face. She raised her hand and called Lin Tong to her side and whispered a few words to her. Lin Tong nodded heavily and left Fengqi Palace to do her business.

At this time, Lin Can was relieved to see that the big snow wolf was finally taken away. "Second sister, you should kill that beast as soon as possible. A beast is a beast. What if it goes crazy and hurts the little princess?"
