After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

The Xie family's mansion was granted by the emperor. When Xie Li returned to Beijing to report on his work, the emperor wanted to employ him, so he would definitely grant him a house.

The house had been renovated a long time ago, but since we had just moved in, there was a lot to do.

Some of the servants were the original servants, and some were new. Wei was very busy managing the rear quarters, and today she took some time out to accompany Xie Li into the palace to meet the empress dowager.

"Where is the second young master?" Wei asked the servant as soon as she entered the mansion.

It's a day off today, so my son is supposed to be at home.

"To reply to Madam, the Second Young Master has gone out to meet a friend," said the servant.

Wei nodded in understanding: "When the second young master comes back, ask him to come find me."

"Yes."

In the backyard, the maids and old women were busy in an orderly manner. When they saw Wei, they all bowed and greeted her.

Zhao Anrou and her eldest daughter-in-law Wen Ning were directing the servants to work.

"aunt!"

"Mother is back."

Wei nodded and looked at Wen Ning with a smile on her face: "You are still pregnant, Rou'er will help me, so you don't have to worry too much."

Wen Ning smiled lightly and said softly, "I've been lying down for several days. It's okay, mother. I'll help take a look."

"You've been traveling all the way from Youzhou, and you've only been here for three months, so you still have to be careful."

"Yes, aunt, I also advised my sister-in-law." Zhao Anrou smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, nothing is more important than you and the child now. With your help to your aunt, you can rest assured and take care of your pregnancy and give birth to a big fat boy for the Xie family."

Wei nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Rou'er is right."

Wen Ning responded obediently: "I understand, mother."

"Aunt, I went to the palace to see the Queen Mother today. How is she? Is she difficult to get along with?" Zhao Anrou asked.

"No, your uncle mentioned you to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is very happy to have you back. I will bring you to the palace to pay respects to her in a few days." Wei said.

Zhao Anrou couldn't help but show joy when she heard this, but then she asked with some concern: "I grew up in the countryside and don't know the rules of aristocratic families. I'm grateful that my uncle and aunt don't despise me. But the queen mother is so high up, I'm afraid she won't like me, right?"

Wei held Zhao Anrou's hand and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Rou'er. You have suffered so much with your mother. The Queen Mother must be so distressed that she doesn't have time to like you. Don't worry."

Hearing Wei's affirmation, Zhao Anrou smiled with a look of relief: "Yes."

In the past year, she thought that being able to live in the Xie family and become the daughter of the Xie family was already the highest honor. She never expected that she could be even more noble, and Xie Li turned out to be the nephew of the Queen Mother.

And she is the niece of the Empress Dowager. According to the popular usage, she can call the Empress Dowager "Aunt".

From then on, she would go in and out of the palace and accompany the empress dowager. The daughters of century-old families or dukes' mansions in the capital would be respectful when they saw her.

Maybe the royal princess would also be courteous to her.

Thinking of this, Zhao Anrou felt excited.

As evening approached, Xie Jichuan returned home and heard a servant report that Wei was looking for him, so he went to the main courtyard.

"mother."

Xie Jichuan entered the flower hall, bowed and called out to Wei.

"Chuan'er is back." Wei put down the account book in her hand and said with a smile, "Hurry up and sit down. Someone, serve tea."

Xie Jichuan sat down next to Wei.

"Second cousin." Zhao Anrou called out with a faint smile.

Xie Jichuan nodded, then looked at Wei: "Mom, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"I went to the palace today to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and met the Princess of Ming County. You arrived in Beijing early, so you should know the Princess of Ming County, right?" said Wei.
