Hua Yun stopped crying and looked at Hua Jianli. She didn't expect that she would speak for them.

Hua Jianli gave Hua Yun a reassuring smile and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just causing trouble for Hua Jin and her daughter."

Hua Jin sneered as Shi helped her up. She had just knelt for so long that her legs were weak. "Father has never understood the rules of the harem, nor the ins and outs of it. It's better for mother to take care of the affairs of the inner house!"

Have these women forgotten that the entire Prime Minister's Mansion is still ruled by them and their daughter?

"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet will surely be attended by royal relatives and nobles. Don't you want your two sisters to find their ideal husbands? Although there is a difference in age, your two sisters can't just wait forever. They are different from your eldest sister. Your eldest sister is a legitimate daughter and the most beautiful woman in the capital. To put it bluntly, even in a few years, there will be someone who will be interested in her. Don't you want your other two sisters to wait and not get married?"

As soon as she said this, all the women looked at her with resentment.

Yes! You can't get married, so you want us to be old maids with you.

Hua Jianli continued, "No matter what, these concubines also respectfully call you elder sister. Don't you consider their lifelong happiness? If they marry well, won't it bring honor to the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

Hua Jin understood this logic, but she couldn't accept the thought that she couldn't even go, and her mother had to take these unphotogenic things with her.

She felt uncomfortable at the thought of them being favored by some noble family. In her heart, she would never allow anyone to marry better than herself.

At this time, the Sixth Aunt, who was watching the fun, laughed sweetly, "I think what the Seventh Miss said makes sense."

"Oh? Tell me about it!" It was rare that Sixth Aunt opened her mouth, so Hua Tang asked her.

Shi's mouth was as flat as a duck's mouth. "Do you have the right to speak here?"

What? Now even a prostitute in a brothel dares to go against her. She really deserves to be punished.

The Sixth Aunt was frightened by Shi's eyes and dared not say a word.

Hua Tang glared at her and said to Sixth Aunt, "You say!"

The Sixth Aunt smiled sweetly, not caring about Shi's threat just now, and said, "In previous years, at the palace banquet, each family could only have three children at most. I believe this year will be no exception. If Madam brings five, six, seven, or three young ladies to the banquet this year, others will definitely praise Madam for being magnanimous and treating everyone equally. The eldest young lady will also be said to be virtuous and caring towards her younger sister. As for the Emperor, he will naturally forget the previous unpleasantness..."

Hua Tang's eyes lit up: "You are really thoughtful."

"Master, do you really want to let these three crooked...uh daughters enter the palace?" Shi still didn't want to agree.

"Do you have a better idea?" Hua Tang glared at Shi, who didn't dare to speak.

Although Hua Tang was noncommittal about Hua Jianli's words, he listened to the words of the Sixth Aunt. He looked at the girls again and felt that although Hua Jianli was wearing a veil, her beautiful eyes were better than Hua Jin's. Her demeanor was not bad! Looking at Hua Ying again, her facial features were also pretty, and her figure was of average size, but her body shape could not be ignored. Hua Yun was much better. She was not as generous as Hua Jin, and could be considered a beautiful girl from a small family.

Thinking that they might be the helpers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, his tone became much more humble: "The three of you will follow Madam to the palace in half a month. Remember to listen to Madam and don't make decisions on your own. If you damage the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you will bear the consequences. During this period, you should also learn more about the rules..."

"I don't agree!" said Shi.

"I'll make the decision on this matter!" Hua Tang shouted, "Go find the two maids and teach them the rules. Listen carefully!"

Hua Tang said the last few words in a commanding tone.

Shi was scolded so much that he didn't dare to say anything harsh, but he didn't want to obey his orders either.

Hua Jin came slowly, and said in a humble manner, "Don't worry, father. Jin'er will persuade mother."

Hua Tang sighed, "You are a sensible person, don't worry, this matter has not been finalized yet. I will plead with the emperor. If the emperor changes his mind, you still have a chance to enter the palace."

"Well, father, thank you for your concern, but you should also take care of your health. It doesn't matter whether your daughter goes or not." Hua Jin was still gentle and generous.

Huatang smiled. It must be said that her daughter was sensible.

After explaining everything, Hua Tang was about to leave. When he passed by Hua Jianli, he suddenly wanted to ask some information about Old Man Tiandao, but then he thought about it and decided to give up.

Hua Jianli didn't understand why he was hesitating in front of her. She didn't ask, nor did she want to ask.

After Hua Tang left, the servant holding the whip looked at Shi in confusion: No...you're not going to beat her anymore? Didn't he ask her to deal with Miss Seven?

Shi secretly hated it, damn it, all the women here deserve to die!

Hua Jin's heart sank suddenly when she saw Hua Jianli's silent smile. Why, why was Hua Jianli different now? Had she been hiding her abilities all these years, just waiting for a chance to suppress her?

So scary, Hua Jianli is so scary!

In sharp contrast to her, the other women didn't even look at the flowers and brocade, each doing their own thing.

The Sixth Miss had the opportunity to enter the palace. The Third Aunt was so happy that she cried and hurriedly thanked Hua Jianli and the Sixth Aunt.

Hua Ying also went back immediately to report the good news to the second aunt.

When she heard that her daughter was also going to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, the Second Aunt didn't feel tired after chanting sutras all day, and hurriedly asked the maid to ask the tailor to take measurements for her daughter and make clothes.

She originally wanted to make some delicious food as a reward for Huaying, but when she saw Huaying's round body, she gave up the idea.

"Yingying, there is still more than half a month until the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. During this time, you should control your mouth and try to surprise everyone at the palace banquet!"

"Okay, I listen to you!"

"Hurry, tell mother what is going on?" The second aunt couldn't wait to know who had made the Shi mother and daughter suffer.

"Auntie, don't be impatient, listen to me slowly..." Huaying poured a glass of water for the second aunt, and then she told the story...

When the Second Aunt heard her say that it was Hua Jianli and the Sixth Aunt's credit, she pouted again and said, "Hmph, don't feel like you owe them a favor. Even without them, you wouldn't have married too badly in the future. All you lack is the status of a legitimate daughter."

Over the years, she and Shi Chunhua have been fighting openly and secretly for the position of the legal wife. If Shi Chunhua can succeed in getting the position, then so can Wang Mingcui!

In her eyes, Shi was just a man with a father who was an imperial merchant, while her brother was a real general. In the future, Yingying would be no less wealthy than Hua Jin.

Second Aunt held Huaying's hand and said, "Also, when you enter the palace this time, you still have to listen to Shi and your elder sister, and don't act rashly."

Miss?

Hua Ying laughed out loud, "Aunt, you don't know yet that Hua Jin will not be included in this birthday banquet?"

"Why?" Why is there no Hua Jin? Hua Jin was always there in previous years.

Huaying moved closer to the Second Aunt and told her everything that had happened today. Her gossipy look was exactly the same as the Second Aunt's.

"Really?" After hearing this, the Second Aunt grinned from ear to ear, then stretched her neck and spat at the door.

"Bah, she deserves it!..."
