The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

After listening to Xiaolan's rambling, Yin Zijin nodded and said, "Xiaolan, I understand what you mean. I will behave myself and be a gentle and virtuous lady from a respectable family. After marriage, I will be a good wife and mother, and live a peaceful life in the inner quarters..."

Xiaolan was overjoyed to hear Yin Zijin's words. However, what Xiaolan did not expect was that after Yin Zijin finished speaking, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "No way, if I had the chance, I would definitely run far away."

As they were talking, Xiaolan put a pair of jade bracelets and a gold necklace on Yin Zijin. Seeing that Yin Zijin didn't have her ears pierced, Xiaolan continued, "Miss, let's get your ears pierced this winter! Ear piercings are less likely to get infected in winter."

Yin Zijin said, "Okay, Xiaolan, let's talk about it in winter."

Xiaolan then hooked up the gauze curtains around the canopy bed, revealing the inside of the bed. Xiaolan also tidied up the bed.

Not long after, Granny Zhou came over with a food box. Seeing Yin Zijin sitting in front of her dressing table, Granny Zhou called out, "Sixth Miss, come and have breakfast."

Yin Zijing stood up and slowly walked towards the daybed. Xiaolan saw this and quickly helped Yin Zijing walk onto the daybed.

Yin Zijing smiled and said to Xiaolan beside her, "Xiaolan, I'm fine, I'm just walking a little slower. I can manage on my own."

When Yin Zijing arrived, Granny Zhou had already prepared breakfast. Granny Zhou said with a smile, "Red date and millet porridge nourishes yin and blood, strengthens the stomach and removes dampness, which is just right for you now, Miss. And these dishes are all light in flavor. I know you like strong flavors, but you should eat those things when you are better."

Yin Zijing nodded, picked up a crystal bun with her silver chopsticks, and began to eat. After eating one, Yin Zijing said, "Xiaolan, you haven't eaten yet, have you? You've been taking care of me the whole time. Sit down and eat with us."

Xiaolan shook her head and said, "Miss, this is not in accordance with the rules. How can a master and a servant eat at the same table? I had already eaten before you woke up."

Yin Zijing nodded and began to eat in silence. Granny Zhou said with a smile, "Miss's health is gradually improving; she's eating well now. You look even more beautiful today, Xiaolan must have prepared this!"

Xiaolan served food to Yin Zijin while saying, "Yes, Granny Zhou. The family from Jiangnan is here, and they will definitely want to see the young ladies. It would be too impolite for the Sixth Miss to be lying sick in bed. What if it upsets the young lady's grandparents? Wouldn't that be bad?"

Granny Zhou said, "Xiaolan, you are so thoughtful." Then she turned back to Yin Zijin and instructed, "Miss, your grandparents are here this time too. You and Niao Niao must win their favor. Aunt Feng's two daughters have already taken the lead and have visited their ancestral home in Jiangnan several times."

"But Sixth Miss, you and Seventh Miss haven't been yet. Your grandmother doesn't like your mother's domineering nature. If she loses in this aspect, it won't affect Niao Niao, who is the legitimate daughter, but it will affect Zi Jin."

Then, Granny Zhou glanced outside and lowered her voice, saying, "Your father and mother are thinking of marrying you to His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince doesn't discriminate between men and women, and the girl's life is at risk. The girl's status and body can satisfy His Highness's preferences and also bear children, solving the problem of His Highness's lineage."

Although she is only a concubine, she may be able to gain the Crown Prince's exclusive favor. At that time, you will have nothing to worry about.

But girl, what you need to do now is to please your grandparents and make sure that such a good marriage is not snatched away by Aunt Feng and her two daughters.

The Great Sheng Dynasty highly values ​​filial piety; what your grandparents said is very important.

What Yin Zijing hadn't expected was that Granny Zhou would be so blunt. Had she never considered that she would resist? Or did she think that since she was only five years old, she had no choice but to accept her fate? She figured that once her feet were bound, her ears pierced, her breasts would grow larger, and she could bear children, just like a woman, and her body would please the Crown Prince, then they could rest easy. Yin Zijing ate her breakfast, nodding casually, "Yes, Granny Zhou, Zijing will definitely behave well and please Grandpa and Grandma."

Granny Zhou nodded and said, "It's good that you understand, Miss. Now, think about what gifts to give your grandparents! Aunt Feng is a shrewd woman; she'll definitely have her two daughters prepare the gifts. We can't fall behind."

Yin Zijin said, "Now? But there's not much time left. I'm afraid that soon I'll have to go with Niao Niao to see my grandparents in front of Yimei Courtyard."

Granny Zhou thought for a moment and said, "If there's no time to prepare, Zijing, just be sincere. It's the only option we can find..."

As expected, Ruhe pushed open the door and came in, reporting, "Miss, Madam just sent someone to tell you that after you and Seventh Miss have finished breakfast and tidied up, you should go to the front yard to meet the people from the Jiangnan family."

Yin Zijing nodded and said, "I understand. I'll come over after I finish breakfast..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yin Zijin walked in, calling out as she went, "Zijin, are you ready? Let's go! I've been locked in my room for the past two days, I'm so bored, I can finally get some fresh air today."

Looking at the carefree Yin Zixiao, Granny Liu chased after her while anxiously instructing her, "Zixiao, slow down. You have to behave well today. You are meeting your grandparents today. You must not act like you are now."

Yin Ziyao ran over to Yin Zijin and saw that Yin Zijin was still eating breakfast. She sat on the other side of the daybed, propped her face up with her little hands, and said, "No rush, Zijin, eat slowly. I'll wait for you."

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you really are sick; you look much worse than before. These past few nights, I've been able to hear you groaning in pain from next door."

After finishing her meal, Yin Zijing wiped her mouth with a handkerchief before saying, "I'm sorry, Niao Niao, I was quite ill these past few days, but I'm only getting better now. I'm sorry for bothering you these past few days."

Yin Zixiao waved her hand dismissively and said, "No, Zijing. You didn't bother me. I just heard you humming a few times, but I couldn't hear you clearly."

After finishing her meal, Yin Zijing chatted with Yin Zini for a few minutes before heading out. Granny Zhou quickly draped a cloak over Yin Zijing's shoulders, muttering, "Miss, you're still weak and not fully recovered. You shouldn't go out; you should rest for a couple more days. But your grandparents are here, so you must fulfill your filial duties."

After they finished, Yin Zijin, Yin Ziniao, along with their maids and servants, walked together to the front courtyard of Yimei Courtyard.

Along the way, Granny Zhou kept nagging and instructing, "Zijin, Naoniao, you must behave well. If you really can't, just kneel down and kowtow. This is your first time meeting your grandparents, so you must be polite and make a good impression on them..."

The group walked to the reception room in the front courtyard of Yimei Courtyard, where many people had already gathered. However, because of the presence of elderly people, the place was very quiet despite the large number of people. Only the voices of Yin Zifeng and Yin Ziyao could be heard.

The two had arrived long ago and were currently making the two elders laugh non-stop. Zhang saw Yin Zijin and Yin Ziniao coming from afar and quickly came out to welcome them inside. Zhang explained with a smile, "Father, Mother. These are the sixth and seventh young ladies. They are only five years old and this is their first time paying their respects to you. The sixth young lady was ill, so we are a little late."

After saying that, Madam Zhang hurriedly whispered to Yin Zijin and Yin Zixiao, "Quickly, pay your respects to Grandfather and Grandmother."

Yin Zijin and Yin Zijin immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Zijin and Zijin greet our grandfather and grandmother."

A well-maintained lady with slightly graying hair, who was sitting at the head of the table, stood up and said with a loving smile, "These are Zijing and Niaoniao! They've grown so much! Come to your grandmother's side and let her take a good look at you."

Having received the order, the two exchanged a glance, then quickly stood up and rushed to their grandmother's side, sweetly calling out, "Grandma, I've heard Mother say for a long time that Niao Niao has blood relatives in Jiangnan, but Mother said Niao Niao is too young and wouldn't take her. Actually, Niao Niao has wanted to go for a long time. I never expected to finally meet them today. Niao Niao has such loving grandparents."

The noblewoman, Madam Liu, gently pinched Yin Zixiao's nose and said affectionately, "Niaoxiao, you speak so sweetly! Grandmother likes it very much. Does Xiaoxiao like Jiangnan?"

Yin Zixiao immediately perked up and said lively, "Of course I want to! Staying in the capital all the time is so boring. I want to see the outside world..."

On the other side, seeing her grandmother Liu sit down, Yin Zijing endured her discomfort and massaged Liu's legs. It took a while before Liu noticed Yin Zijing's actions.

Lady Liu asked affectionately, "Is this the Sixth Miss?"

Yin Zijin said, "Yes, Zijin greets Grandmother. Grandmother has come all the way from Jiangnan. The journey must be tiring. Zijin will massage Grandmother's legs and she will feel better."

Madam Liu smiled and helped Yin Zijin up, praising, "What a good child! Gentle, thoughtful, and filial, just a little quiet. Zijin, you're sick and not feeling well, don't do these things, it won't tire your grandmother out."

Originally disliking Zhang's domineering nature, Liu praised Zhang upon seeing how well her two granddaughters had been raised, saying, "Zhang, you have raised these two daughters very well. The sixth daughter is gentle and thoughtful, while the seventh daughter is lively, generous, and has a sweet tongue."

The sixth young lady seems to be in poor health. I wonder what illness she has? Could it be a congenital deficiency? It would be difficult to raise her.

If all else fails, come back to Jiangnan with us this time. Jiangnan is a great place to recuperate, and Zijing's uncle is a doctor. He can treat you properly and guarantee you'll be a healthy and strong Sixth Sister again.

Zhang, who was standing nearby, quickly explained, "Mother, don't worry, Sixth Miss is in very good health. She just caught a cold, which was quite severe. She has been resting for quite some time and is much better now. She will recover after a few more days of rest."

Madam Liu said, "Alright, we'll see how well the Sixth Miss recovers. Oh! By the way, after talking for so long, Zijing, Niao Niao, go and meet your uncles and aunts, as well as your brothers and sisters, and get to know them."

We are all one family, connected by blood, but one lives in Jiangnan and the other in the capital, which is quite far apart, making it very inconvenient for us to visit each other.
