Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

When the eldest sister left, Shen Ruyin only accompanied her to the second gate and could not follow any further. Watching her older sister's departing figure, she sighed softly.

Hearing this, the second daughter glanced at her and said, "If the eldest sister is chosen, that's a good thing. Why are you sighing?"

Being elected is inevitable, but unfortunately, after being elected, decades of careful planning and meticulousness are not an easy thing to do.

However, Shen Ruyin would not say these words to the second young lady.

"I just lament that after my elder sister leaves, I don't know how many more times I'll see her after she leaves home."

The second young lady stared at her for a while, then snorted, "You two seem to get along quite well. I wonder if she'll still look at you, her little sister, when she's in a high position in the future."

Shen Ruyin was not in a good mood, so she simply replied, "I won't trouble you with things from now on, Second Sister. I still need to learn etiquette from Granny Rong, so I won't delay and will go back now. Please do as you please, Second Sister."

The second girl watched her departing figure, bit her lower lip, and headed to her residence with a displeased expression.

Seeing that there was no one around, Qingluo quietly spoke up, "Miss, I don't think the Second Miss has any bad intentions today."

"I know, but I'm too impatient to say more," Shen Ruyin said, still feeling a bit down. "I don't know when my older sister will come back."

Shen Ruyin remained depressed for several days. Qingluo and Qingzhi tried many methods, but none of them could cheer her up.

When Rong Momo saw her like this, she didn't say much. She just silently increased the intensity of her practice, making her too tired to think. When she returned to the courtyard, she just wanted to rest, which helped her quickly adjust her state.

After the eldest daughter entered the palace, Aunt Xu had the idea of ​​inviting the second daughter to audit the classes. The second daughter was initially persuaded, but after seeing the amount of training, she was frightened and went back.

After learning about this, Madam Xie took the opportunity to praise Rong Momo and gave Shen Ruyin a box of jewelry.

A box of jewelry fell from the sky, leaving Shen Ruyin somewhat bewildered. However, seeing Rong Momo's calm demeanor, she assumed it was just her mother in a good mood and didn't pursue the matter further.

A month later, when the eldest daughter emerged from the palace with the imperial decree of marriage, the entire household was present.

When she learned that the eldest daughter was just an ordinary concubine, Aunt Xu could hardly contain her smile, but she deliberately feigned surprise, "How could this be? With our eldest daughter's looks and character, she could easily become the principal wife, let alone a concubine. How... how could she just be a concubine?"

When the second young lady realized that these words were unpleasant, she gently tugged at Aunt Xu's sleeve, and Aunt Xu stopped talking.

Madam Xie and the Earl ignored Concubine Xu, but instead inquired about the ranks of the other young ladies who had entered the palace with them.

When they learned that the other two girls, who were of similar status to the eldest daughter, had been assigned the rank of concubines and none of them had become secondary consorts, the two girls relaxed and smiled again. They also had the mind to comfort the eldest daughter and tell her to go back and rest early.

The young woman rose gracefully, respectfully acknowledged the order, and then turned back.

Upon seeing this, Shen Ruyin quickly got up and left, catching up with her older sister in a few steps, but she didn't dare to say much to her outside.

The eldest daughter glanced at her, then smiled and took her hand, asking, "How have you been at home these past few days?"

“Aside from the fact that Granny Rong gave me too much extra homework, I’m perfect,” Shen Ruyin said softly. “But you, eldest sister…”

The older girl patted her hand, her face revealing neither joy nor anger. "I'm fine, I just need to get used to it sooner rather than later. It's nothing."

"I just feel sorry for my sister," Shen Ruyin pursed her lips, and stopped in front of the eldest daughter's courtyard. "I'll see you off here. You should go and rest. We can talk about other things another day."

The young woman, upon hearing this, held onto her hand tightly, refusing to let go. "There's no rush. Besides, if it gets late, you can stay here and rest. What's the harm?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruyin followed the young lady further inside.

After the courtyard gate was closed and the maids went outside to stand guard, the eldest young lady finally shed her usual elegant demeanor in front of Shen Ruyin, revealing her deep exhaustion.

Shen Ruyin felt extremely sorry for her and personally got up to massage her temples, saying, "There are too many rules in this palace. Look how tired you are, sister."

Of course, the tiring aspects of palace life weren't just the rules; both sisters knew this, but neither of them spoke of it.

Even though the door was closed and they were surrounded by their own people, there were still some things they shouldn't say, lest they accidentally say them and cause trouble later.

The young woman squinted and let Shen Ruyin massage her for a while. Feeling better, she took Shen Ruyin's hand and said, "Don't bother with that. Sit down and let's have a good chat, sisters."
