After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

The first day of May.

The emperor's enthronement ceremony was also the ceremony for the empress's coronation and a general amnesty.

Before Emperor Xuande Li Dequan ascended the throne, he married three wives. His first wife, Chen, died of illness, leaving behind the eldest prince, Xiao Qiting. He was weak and sickly since childhood, but was deeply loved by Li Dequan; his second wife, Sun, died of dystocia, leaving behind the second prince, Xiao Qiuye; his third wife, Xiao Chen, the current queen, gave birth to the third prince, Xiao Qiwei.

Li Dequan fell in love with Chen at first sight and loved her deeply; Sun was married off by his parents; when little Chen came into the family, Li Dequan's parents had already passed away, and he decided to marry her off to take care of his eldest son.

In addition to these three, Li Dequan also has a younger son, the fourth prince Xiao Qitang.

Xiao Qitang's biological mother was a servant girl. Li Dequan had sex with her after getting drunk. She became pregnant at first sight and luckily gave birth to a son.

Xiao Chen was crowned as queen; Xiao Qitang's biological mother, Qin, was crowned as a third-rank noble concubine. The fact that she had no title showed that this noble concubine Qin was not favored.

……

June.

The shadow of the April palace coup has almost disappeared.

The palace organized a Dragon Boat Festival flower-viewing banquet, which was open to officials of the sixth rank and above and their families. The men were in the front court, and the women were in the harem.

Xie Boyuan was the head of the Ministry of Revenue, and happened to be a sixth-rank official, so Xie Ling and the others were able to attend the banquet.

Xie Lingfen was pregnant and would not attend, Liu Rushuang was not feeling well during her childhood and would not go, and Li Lingze had to observe mourning, so he would not attend either.

……

This is not a dinner party.

We entered the palace in the morning and gathered in the back garden.

Surrounded by noble ladies and rich girls, Xie Linghe didn't want to cause trouble, so he took Xie Lingai to a secluded place.

Xie Lingai said with great interest: "Sister, look at this chrysanthemum. It's really beautiful, and it's green. It's worthy of being a flower in the palace~"

Xie Linghe nodded: "That's Lu Ju, it's..."

The words were not finished.

A eunuch's sharp voice rang out:

"The eldest prince's wife has arrived."

"The Second Prince's Consort has arrived."

"The Third Prince's wife has arrived."

She immediately looked over and saw three young women approaching one after another.

The woman in the front has a gentle appearance and a plain temperament; the woman in the middle has a pretty appearance and a sickly and tired temperament, which makes people feel pity; the woman in the back is heroic and has a bright smile, which makes people easily like her.

The three people have very different temperaments and are very easy to identify.

They are the eldest prince's wife Lin, the second prince's wife Bai and the third prince's wife Xu.

As for the Fourth Prince?

He is now eighteen years old and has not yet married.

The Marquis of Taiyuan was originally just an ordinary member of the royal family, not even as good as the nobles in the capital.

therefore.

The families of the wives married by the princes were naturally ordinary.

The father of the eldest prince's wife was only a county magistrate. This was mainly because the eldest prince was in poor health and the doctor said he would not live past the age of 30. Therefore, he could only marry a woman of lower status.

Otherwise, no matter how high his status as the prince of a marquisate is, it is impossible for him to marry the daughter of a ninth-rank county magistrate.

The couple only had one daughter after they got married.

The eldest prince did not have a concubine, only the eldest prince's wife. It was said that they had a deep relationship, and everyone envied the eldest prince's wife.

But Xie Linghe knew that was not the case.

The eldest prince is in poor health and not suitable for sexual intercourse. It’s not that he doesn’t want to take a concubine, but that he can’t.

Moreover, he privately disliked the eldest prince's wife for her clumsiness and treated her normally, but the eldest prince's wife was slow and could not see it.

but.

There is one thing about the eldest prince that is worthy of praise, and that is that he does not favor boys over girls and treats his only daughter like a treasure.

The Second Prince's wife, Lady Bai, is the eldest daughter of the former chief academic officer of the Imperial College in the capital. The current emperor personally requested her for his son.

only.

This eldest daughter had a bad fate. Half a year before Li Dequan ascended the throne, she went to the mountains to worship Buddha and accidentally fell off the carriage, injuring her internal organs. She could not be cured and would not live long.

The two had no children.

Xiao Qiye also has no children.

Inside the book.

Xiao Qiye and Xie Lingdi had a son only after he ascended the throne.

Think of this.

Xie Linghe sighed inwardly: What a pity, in the novel, although the hero Xiao Qiye did not love Xu, he respected her very much. If she could live to see him ascend the throne, she would most likely be the queen, and there would be no chance for the heroine Xie Lingdi.

The Third Prince's wife was the youngest daughter of the Earl of Yong'an. Xiao Chen personally requested her for her son because the Countess of Yong'an was her best friend who she had grown up with.

after marriage.

The third prince and his wife had a very good relationship and had a son and a daughter together.

Closer to home.

With the arrival of the three people, everyone greeted them, and Xie Linghe and Xie Lingai also followed suit.

after that.

Many people came over to chat.

Xie Linghe and Xie Lingai looked at each other, without any desire to get involved, and walked to the side tacitly.

Sudden.

A rude female voice appeared in front of the two of them: "Who allowed you to come?"

Another female voice retorted, "Why can't I come?"

Xie Linghe felt that it sounded familiar.

Read on.

The arrogant woman said, "I am my master's concubine, and you are not even a concubine. You are an unclear existence, at best a maidservant. You come to the Queen's banquet and are not afraid of dirtying the Queen's place. If I were you, I would never be so tactless."

"Ah."

Another female voice said disdainfully, "You're just a concubine. I'm Aye's close friend. The Empress is kind to me and even had her personal maid invite me to the banquet. How dare you disrespect me? Believe it or not, I'll tell Aye that he'll never see you again."

"you!"

The arrogant woman was furious and said, "You shameless woman..."

"Hi~"

What a fierce quarrel~

Xie Linghe and the other person subconsciously glanced at each other and looked over quietly.

one look.

Xie Linghe raised his eyebrows.

It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet each other~

Before she came, she wondered if she would meet Xie Lingdi, but she didn't expect to meet her here!

the other side.

Xie Lingai couldn't help but whispered, "Thank you..."

This sound immediately startled the two people who were confronting each other not far away.

Suddenly.

The expressions of the two people changed drastically.

The arrogant woman's appearance and voice were as aggressive as hers. She was startled at first, then pretended to be calm, straightened her clothes, and left leisurely with her maid.

Another person.

It was their acquaintance - Xie Lingdi.

now.

She looked at Xie Linghe and the other person with a very gloomy expression.

Xie Linghe had no intention of recognizing her as his relative, so he took Xie Lingai away.

Behind.

Xie Lingdi looked at him for a long time with a cold look in her eyes.

Zi Yi was a little confused and spoke cautiously: "Miss Xie, do you know these two people?"

Xie Lingdi didn't answer.

"Let's go."

After saying that, he took big steps.

Zi Yi was puzzled, but didn't say anything. She just looked at Xie Linghe and the other two deeply and kept this matter in mind.

Here.

After being away from Xie Lingdi.

Xie Lingai couldn't help but say, "Sister, did you see that just now? It was..."

"I saw it." Xie Linghe nodded before she could finish her words: "It's Xie Lingdi."

Xie Lingai was filled with disbelief: "She was actually in the palace, listening to their conversation, and had a close relationship with a certain prince."

Xie Linghe nodded: "Yes~"

But in my heart I thought: Not only is she related to a prince, but you have even seen this prince before~
