If not abolished

Zhu Zhanji took Jiaxing's hand and came to the gate of Chuxiu Palace. They walked in and searched in the yard for a while without finding it. Then they saw someone coming. Zhu Zhanji pretended to ask his sister: "Did you see it clearly? Did it fall into Chuxiu Palace? Why can't you find it?"

Jiaxing was also very smart and deliberately said loudly: "I can see it clearly, it fell over here, brother, how about we go to the back to have a look?"

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Just as the two were about to walk to the backyard, a woman came towards them and saluted.

"Who are you?" Zhu Zhanji had no impression of them, but they should have seen him before.

"I am Cao Wanyi, the daughter of Cao Zan, a fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites. I had the honor of meeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the birthday banquet of the wife of the Earl of Pengcheng." Cao Wanyi said calmly with her head slightly lowered.

"I see."

"Big brother, my kite." Jiaxing shook his hand and urged.

"Okay, I'll take you to find it."

"Your Highness, wait a minute. The backyard is full of ladies who have just entered the palace. If Your Highness goes in without an interpreter, it might be disrespectful to the sisters. Why don't I accompany the princess to find the kite?" Cao Wanyi persuaded and offered a solution.

Jiaxing shook his head stubbornly: "No, I want my big brother to accompany me."

"Jiaxing, what this sister said is right. It's not easy for the big brother to get in there. Can you let this sister accompany you to look for him?" Zhu Zhanji said while winking at her.

Jiaxing received the signal and immediately acted like a rogue: "No, I won't."

"Jiaxing, don't be willful." Zhu Zhanji said sternly.

“Wuuuuu, wuuuu, big brother is mean to me, wuuuuu…” Jiaxing immediately burst into tears, and the tears fell down.

Zhu Zhanji said to Cao Wanyi helplessly, "Jiaxing is too willful. How about this? Miss Cao goes inside to say something, and then I go in. This won't be the case."

"Okay, I'll go and tell them first." Cao Wanyi was also shocked when she saw Princess Jiaxing suddenly burst into tears.

"Thank you."

After Cao Wanyi went in, Jiaxing immediately stopped crying and wiped her tears with her sleeves. She no longer looked like she was crying just now.

Zhu Zhanji looked down and gave her a thumbs up, "Brother, did I do well just now?"

"very good."

"Big brother, do you want to see these sisters?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to see if it was nice, so I brought you here?"

“I want to see, when should I say…” Jiaxing was confused.

"Yes, that's right, you said there's a new beautiful sister and you want to see her. That's right." Zhu Zhanji said nonsense seriously.

Why does Jiaxing have the illusion that if this matter is discovered by her mother, her eldest brother will let her take the blame? It's not an illusion, it's intuition. The eldest brother is hateful, I won't play with her next time.

"Humph, big brother is bad, I won't play with you."

"Oh, our Jiaxing is the most well-behaved, why wouldn't you want to play with your brother? Didn't you ask your brother to take you out of the palace to play?"

"Don't you want to wait until I grow up?"

"Well, this year, on the Lantern Festival, big brother will take you to see the lanterns. Don't tell anyone, okay?" Zhu Zhanji was still afraid that his sister would be angry. He only had this one sister, and she was spoiled like a darling.

"Keep your word."

"of course."

Jiaxing thought to himself that this was a good thing to take, and immediately added: "Next time if you have any problems, remember to come to me."

"Oh, okay." Zhu Zhanji responded.

After a while, Zhu Zhanji thought it was about time, so he took Jiaxing in.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince/Princess." Fortunately, these people have been in the palace for some time and still know the basic etiquette.

"Everyone, get up."

At this time, Yan Ru's two aunts who heard the news rushed over, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, Your Highness, Princess."

"I actually disturbed my two aunts. How could I..."

"It was our fault for not paying respects to the Crown Prince in time."

"It happened suddenly, how can I blame you?"

The group of people soon discovered the fallen kite.

"Sorry to trouble you, two aunts." Zhu Zhanji said after coming out.

"This is what slaves are supposed to do."

"Big brother, have you seen clearly what those sisters look like?"

"No."

"Then what is Big Brother going through all that trouble for?"

"They all lowered their heads, and I didn't notice them. Did you see them clearly?"

"That's right. I'm small, so I can see it."

"Is there anything you like?"

"Do I like my brother?" Jiaxing had naturally heard from the palace maids that these sisters would be her sisters-in-law in the future.

"The brother that Jiaxing likes is considering it."

"The sister who is talking to you is okay, and the others are also okay, but I don't know their names?" Jiaxing said distressedly.

"It's okay. When they get the portrait, you can come over and take a look with your brother and you'll know."

"That's right."

The next day, Yikun Palace

"Hey, have you heard? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Chuxiu Palace yesterday." The little palace maid said secretly.

"Really? Did you go there specifically to see the new ladies who entered the palace?" another gossiper asked.

"No."

"Didn't they say that the Crown Prince in our palace likes him very much? Why didn't I see the Crown Prince come to see him? Instead, he went to Chuxiu Palace first."

"Who knows? Maybe it was just a novelty before."

"That's right, Your Highness, the Crown Prince has seen all kinds of beauties."

"I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have forgotten about this person," the palace maid said as she looked around.

"You said..." Several people lowered their voices, and what they said afterwards could no longer be heard clearly.

Sun Ruoji hid behind a pillar and listened to these words. Every word was like a knife, stabbing her heart, and tears flowed silently.

"Miss Sun, is there something wrong?" Yunqi saw her wandering at the door for a long time.

"Aunt Yunqi, I wonder if the Imperial Concubine is busy."

"Come in, young lady. The queen was just talking about you, wasn't she?"

"Greetings to the noble concubine."

"I was just talking about you and you're here. What a coincidence."

"It is a blessing for me to be remembered by the queen."

"How is it? Are you used to living here these days? Is there anything you're missing?" Concubine Wang asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, my sisters in the palace have taken great care of me. It's just like being at home, and I haven't felt uncomfortable at all."

"That's because you are sensible and not spoiled. If they don't serve you well, you must tell them."

"Yes."

"What brought you here specially?"

"To answer your Majesty, I've seen Aunt Yunqi go out to pick flower petals and so on, and I thought I didn't have anything to do in the palace, so I could go and help."

"Oh, that's fine. As long as it doesn't interfere with your daily studies, you can go anywhere."

"Thank you for your grace."
