Xie Pan'er's position as queen was firmly seated as soon as the Imperial Master came out in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The emperor heard what Hu Shuer said before leaving, hugged Xie Paner and kissed her hard.

Xie Pan'er blushed with embarrassment and quickly pushed him away.

"Can you please stop doing this? Don't make people laugh!"

The emperor held her in his arms very domineeringly.

"You are my queen, what's wrong with me kissing you? It's a matter of course, who dares to make a joke?"

Xie Pan'er couldn't stand his stickiness, so she pushed her away with all her strength.

"But we're not married yet!"

After hearing Xie Pan'er's words, the emperor couldn't help but wilt.

So I started to complain about Xiao Suisui.

"Little girl Jiazi, why don't you know to advance the time for her majesty and adoptive father?

Three months is still a long time!”

The emperor looked at Xie Pan'er who was far away from him and howled with anger.

"Don't complain. This date is actually very early. Logically speaking, it will take two or three years for the emperor and empress to get married and follow the three books and six rites. If it weren't for the adoptive mother... ahem, actually the most important thing is

Or because you are too old, the Empress Dowager secretly went to the Imperial Preceptor and requested that if the wedding date be brought forward, the wedding date will have to be followed according to all the rules and it will take more than two years!"

After hearing what she said, the emperor couldn't help but become irritable.

"Two years? Do you think I am Liu Xiahui who is ten thousand years old? Can I watch you wait for two years?"

Xie Pan'er was completely surprised and her face turned red.

"You...what you said are all nonsense, I will ignore you!"

Xie Pan'er couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. She glared at the emperor with embarrassment and annoyance. Her cheeks were burning and she had no choice but to cover her face.

When the emperor saw Xie Pan'er like this, he couldn't help but laugh.

His little wife is not very old. She is only fourteen or fifteen years old, which is when her love affair begins. She does not need to be teased.

Whenever he teased her, she would become as shy as a child, hiding herself in her knees or in the palms of her hands.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Come here and I'll tell you something."

Xie Pan'er didn't dare to listen to him because she really couldn't stand the emperor since he announced the canonization of the queen in the morning meeting.

He hugged her at every turn, kissed her at every turn, and more importantly, he always said those irrational dirty words to himself!

"I'm telling you seriously. I'm not teasing you. Seriously, come here quickly."

The emperor sat on the dragon chair very seriously, waved to Xie Pan'er, and coaxed him in a low voice.

Xie Pan'er just couldn't go there, and even had the urge to find an opportunity to run out.

The emperor saw through her little thoughts, and said with a slight curl of his lips, "Come here, let's talk about your food and grass problem."

Xie Paner decisively fell for the trick and went straight into the trap.

The second is the day when the palace selects concubines. Although Xie Paner made a decree and was named queen, the four concubines must also be selected together.

Xie Paner left the palace early in the morning.

The emperor could not be with her for the rest of his life. She knew that if it were not for the Ji family and the imperial master, she would not be able to become a queen, and even one of the four concubines would not be able to reach the threshold.

She felt lonely, but she was still strong.

After returning to Ji Mansion, she is still the same little girl!

However, only Xie Pan'er thinks that she is still the same little girl, but the Ji family has begun to treat her like a distinguished guest.

Mrs. Ji was not in good health, so everyone came out to greet her. After all, she was named queen now, so even if she was just pretending, she still had to show it to others.

So Mrs. Ji, the old lady in charge, still stood at the gate, and her two daughters-in-law, Xiao Zhenzhu and Hu Shuer, came out to welcome her into Ji's mansion!

"You are not in good health. Why don't you take a good rest? Why do you come out to greet me? No matter what, I am your adopted daughter. Even if I become the queen, I will still be your daughter. You are not doing this to make your daughter uneasy.

?

You must never do this again."

In fact, Mrs. Ji's relationship with Xie Pan'er is far from that of a real mother and daughter.

However, after getting along for more than a year, and because of their younger age, Xie Paner often accompanied Mrs. Ji, so the relationship between them was somewhat close.

"Okay, okay! There will be a next time! I won't come out to greet you. You are going back to your own home anyway. How can I be afraid that you won't be able to find the door?"

Mrs. Ji's words immediately made everyone laugh.

After arriving at the flower hall and everyone sat down one by one, Xie Paner breathed a sigh of relief.

"When I come back today, my mother must have guessed that I will live in Ji's Mansion until I get married to His Majesty. My mother and my sisters-in-law must not find me annoying!"

Mrs. Ji smiled and said, "This is a happy event, it's too late for us to be happy! How can we find you annoying?"

But now your elder sister-in-law is about to give birth, your third sister-in-law is pregnant again, and your wedding is only three months away. Although we have asked your third sister-in-law to prepare many things before, there are still many things that need to be clarified, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs,

There are still many things that need to be dealt with after the handover of the Zongren Mansion. I have thought about it, and now your eldest sister-in-law must not be disturbed, and your third sister-in-law cannot be tired, so now only your second sister-in-law, sixth sister-in-law, and eighth sister-in-law can

Help you deal with these things, but they are new wives after all, and they don’t understand many things. So as soon as His Majesty’s imperial edict came out yesterday, I sent someone to take your mother into the house. She should be here in a while and let her take it.

How about asking your sisters-in-law to help you deal with these things?"

Mrs. Ji said a lot in one breath. At the end, although she used a questioning tone, there was basically no room for negotiation.

Xie Paner was moved and helpless.

What is touching is that if she had not been supported by the big tree of the Ji family, she would never have become the queen today.

The most important thing is that at this critical moment, Mrs. Ji still wants to let her mother prepare for her wedding.

"Thank you, mother, for thinking about Pan'er. Mother's arrangements are very good, and Pan'er is very happy!"

Mrs. Ji also discovered at this time that Xie Pan'er was no longer what she used to be. She even spoke very well. Is it okay to ask her questions herself?

She replied very happily.

It's not that he's very satisfied. After all, this child has been working hard in the palace for some time.

"That's good. You go to your third sister-in-law's yard together. She will give you the prepared dowry, some wedding necessities, brochures and the like."

After Mrs. Ji finished speaking, she stood up and said, "I'm tired too, so I'll go back and rest first. You've been to your third sister-in-law's place, and then come and stay with me, this old woman. Every year, Princess Lianchun kidnaps her to do errands."

Went there, my place was deserted!"

As soon as Mrs. Ji said this, Hu Shuer became a little anxious.

"Mom, my eighth younger sister and I go to accompany you every day! You still feel deserted, but what did we do wrong to make you unhappy?"

After hearing Hu Shuer's words, Mrs. Ji suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly explained.

"I'm not talking about being deserted before, but after you took over Pan'er's wedding affairs, you no longer care about me, an old woman, so I took Pan'er into my yard. If anything happens, you guys will

Go to my yard to look for her, then my place will be lively."

After hearing Mrs. Ji's words, Hu Shuer breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Zhenzhen didn't show much, she just listened quietly and followed her to Zhu Xiuxiu's yard.

Ji Youcheng has been particularly busy recently. Since the eldest princess Lian Chun returned to Beijing, she not only used Xiao Suisui's name to empty out Empress Dowager Xiao's private treasury to invest in him.

Later, the emperor was even encouraged to quietly take out the treasures from his private treasury, give them to him for investment, and then distribute the dividends.

That's all. When it comes to business, he is familiar with the business, but the key thing is that now they also ask him to raise food and grass, which makes him even busier.

So when Xie Pan'er and Xiao Zhenzhu came in, Zhu Xiuxiu was the only one in the yard sitting on the deck chair under the flower stand and basking in the sun.

"Third sister-in-law, isn't it too comfortable in your yard?

When did you get a flower stand like this?”

Zhu Xiuxiu quickly stood up from the chair and said, "Why are you here? Are you still together? Is this an appointment?"

After asking, before anyone could say anything, she looked at Xie Pan'er and said, "You are the Queen now, I have to salute you!"

Xie Pan'er heard this and quickly stepped forward to stop her.

"Sister-in-law, please make fun of me, I'm not married yet!

Besides, even if I really become the queen, I will still be a girl from the Ji family, and you are also my sister-in-law, so how can I dare to accept your courtesy?"

"Why don't you dare?

No matter what, if you are named a queen, then you are the queen and the mother of a country. No matter how good my relationship with you is, I am just a common woman. According to the rules, when I see you, I have to bow."

"You should stop it quickly! Be careful that the child in your belly won't let you go. The third brother will settle the score with you then!"

Xie Pan'er stopped her, helped her sit back down, and squatted down next to her, gently leaning her head over and placing her ear on Zhu Xiuxiu's belly, "Are the babies moving?

How many babies is the third sister-in-law pregnant with?"

Her question made everyone present laugh and cry.

"You can think about it, do you think everyone is the sister-in-law?

Are you pregnant with twins?"

"You can't say for sure. Maybe Sister-in-law, you are pregnant with a third child this time."

Zhu Xiuxiu gave her an angry look and said, "Stop talking nonsense. What I know is that you hope that our Ji family will have more children and happiness. What I don't know is that you think you are instigating me to compare with my sister-in-law!"

Xie Pan'er just smiled and said, "How can I not? I really hope you can have more children!"

"That's a good idea. I want to have a whole house of children, but I have to do it slowly. Women are bad at having children. The more children, the better.

Look at how sinister my sister-in-law is. If it weren’t for Sui Sui, I wouldn’t be able to tell now. Please be more careful what you say in the future. We, the sisters-in-law of the Ji family, have a good relationship. We are not born into noble families, so there is no intrigue. Otherwise, it’s you.

What I said just now was heard by those people who know how to scheming, and my sister-in-law and I became separated."

Xie Pan'er nodded blankly after hearing this, and quickly went to see Xiao Zhenzhu and Hu Shu'er, and said quickly: "Sister-in-law, please don't tell your elder sister-in-law what I just did!

I just did it unintentionally!”

Xiao Zhenzhu pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything.

She is not a talkative woman. What did she say when she came to the sister-in-law for no reason?

As for Hu Shu'er, someone who has learned to do business since she was a child knows how to watch people's words and emotions.

After this trip, she finally understood that the relationship between Xie Pan'er and the third sister-in-law was really much better than that of the elder sister-in-law.

"Third brother and sister! Pan'er, sixth brother and sister, and eighth brother and sister, you are all here!"

While several people were talking, Huo Xing'er's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Second sister-in-law, you are here too."

Xie Pan'er quickly greeted Huo Xing'er.

Hu Shuer and Xiao Zhenzhu also shouted, "Second sister-in-law, you are here too!"

Huo Xing'er nodded and smiled.

"It would be great if you were all there. I just came back from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. Pan'er's wedding is tense and the three younger siblings can't work hard. Mom asked me to come over to your place to get the booklet and count the manpower!"

When Zhu Xiuxiu heard this, she said, "I know you are someone who never goes to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, but haven't you always been lazy?

Why don’t you hide now?”

Huo Xing'er sighed, "You are pregnant. If I keep hiding, what will your daughter and son do if they come to trouble me in the future?"

Zhu Xiuxiu blushed when she was told that, and she didn't want to be outdone and scolded her.

"You still have the nerve to accuse me, why don't you take it easy? I am a younger brother and sister. In the future, you, your sister-in-law, will call my children brother and sister. I feel comfortable just thinking about it!"

"Stop being so glib. I won't follow your example. Hurry up. I'm very busy. Please make it clear that you can take good care of me. It's best to be like my sister-in-law and let Suisui get you a viable Dongzhu.

It’s better to take it with you.”

After hearing what Huo Xing'er said, Zhu Xiuxiu couldn't help but be stunned.

"Second sister-in-law, what do you mean? Don't scare me!

I have such a hard-earned child!”

In fact, it wasn't that Zhu Xiuxiu's pregnancy was not easy, but that there were too many detours between her and Ji Youcheng. At the beginning, they had an arranged marriage, and Ji Youcheng misunderstood that she had someone else in her heart, and she herself was not sure about herself.

What are your true thoughts in this marriage?

So they have been tormenting each other.

Until a few days ago, she met the scholar and suddenly felt relieved.

Ji Youcheng was jealous and made a fuss, so she explained that their marriage would be considered a complete marriage.

"Why am I trying to scare you?

Besides, I didn’t say there was anything wrong with your child, it’s just that Dongzhu is a good thing to calm the nerves and nourish the fetus, so it’s not a bad thing for you to ask her for one!”

As soon as Huo Xinger said these words, Zhu Xiuxiu suddenly realized.

"I see, this little girl, Xiao Suisui, has been homeless all day long. She was kidnapped by Princess Lianchun just after she came out of the palace yesterday. It's difficult for me to catch her!"

Huo Xing'er thought about it after hearing this.

He said: "Then I will keep an eye on the gate today. As long as she comes back, I will catch her for you!"

"That's a good relationship. The little girl is very slippery and hard to catch. It's hard work, second sister-in-law."

Zhu Xiuxiu said and walked towards the house.

"The account books and warehouse keys are all here, as well as the pretend list, and the list of guests for our Ji Mansion's banquet. I have almost done it. The most important ones now are the He Zongren Mansion, the Internal Affairs Mansion, and the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Over there, we have to check all the matters related to offering sacrifices to heaven and comforting our ancestors, and it is more difficult to choose the dowry. Our Ji family has not lived in Beijing for a long time, and there is no suitable candidate in the house. Pan'er has no one to serve him personally. This is

Absolutely no way!”

As soon as Zhu Xiuxiu said this, Xiao Zhenzhu, who had been listening silently, said.

"If you are in an ordinary wealthy family, you really need to carefully consider the choice of dowry, but in the royal family, it is not necessary. The queen can only bring one dowry girl to serve her personally. I have a suggestion, but I don't know if it is feasible.

!”

Xiao Zhenzhu said something, and Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing'er couldn't help but look at her, "It doesn't matter if you say so."

"It's like this. I think Sui Sui is always away from home, so can you mix one of the clouds and clouds in her yard and use it as a personal maid for the Queen?"

"Yun Duo and Yun Xiang were selected by His Majesty the Emperor to take care of Sui Sui. Is it appropriate for them to enter the palace with Pan'er?"

Zhu Xiuxiu was a little hesitant.

Xiao Zhenzhu said: "Actually, they are the two most suitable. I say this for two reasons. One is that Yunduo and Yunxiang are from a distant place. They are familiar with the rules in the palace. They must be in the palace.

It also has something to do with it. You must know that after the emperor and empress get married, the fourth concubine will follow her into the palace. If the empress wants to rule the harem, she must be surrounded by people who are familiar with the palace."

After hearing Xiao Zhenzhu's words, Huo Xing'er and Zhu Xiuxiu couldn't help but nod.

"What the eighth brother and sister said makes sense. I'll talk to Grandma Zhang later to see if it's feasible. Also, I heard that when you were a nun in Chuxiu Palace, there were two girls in Chuxiu Palace who were good at fisting.

, you saved it in the laundry room?"

"That's what happened. One of them is named Liu Fei'er and the other is named Liu Xue'er. It is said that their father committed a crime, so they were made slaves and then sold to the palace."

"I checked and found out that those two girls were not the real daughters of the Liu family. They were impostors. They themselves were the Liu family's maids. Later, something happened to the Liu family. They were grateful to their mistress and young lady for their kindness and voluntarily entered the palace as impersonators.

Yes, after you enter the palace, please go back to Eunuch Ling for help with these two girls and transfer them to Kunning Palace first!"

"Ah, they are impostors, this is a capital crime!

If this incident happened in public, wouldn't their lives be in danger?"

Thinking of how the two little girls always secretly defended themselves, Xie Pan'er couldn't help but worry.

"You girl, why don't you understand the painstaking efforts of the second sister-in-law? Those two girls can take risks for their own young ladies, and they will naturally be loyal to you in the future. As for whether they will expose the matter, that is a matter for later. You are the queen,

Your husband is the emperor, and if you really can’t protect these two girls, how can you still protect the people of this world?”

After all, Zhu Xiuxiu was sincere to Xie Pan'er, and she poked her forehead with one finger.

Xie Paner pouted at that time.

He quickly said, "I'm just stupid! I didn't think of all this, but my sisters-in-law are so good to me and think of everything for me. I have to learn more from my sisters-in-law in the future!"

"Then you should study hard, and you and your eighth sister-in-law will learn how to pick people right away!

I'll ask Butler Liu to take you to Ren Yazi's place later and select a few people to serve as your dowry to help you handle affairs outside the palace!"

"Why do you still want to pick someone? Didn't Eighth Sister-in-law just say that after I enter the palace, I can only bring one person with me?"

Xie Pan'er was puzzled when he heard this and asked quickly.

Huo Xing'er looked at her silly look and laughed uncontrollably.

"Look at her, she doesn't know that a big pie fell from the sky for her, and she doesn't know if she did something great in her previous life, which earned her such a good sister-in-law like you!"

Zhu Xiuxiu smiled, squinted her eyes, and looked at Xie Pan'er. Time flies so fast. The girl from the Xie family who was bullied to the point of being a maid is now the queen.

At the beginning, she never imagined that her future would be so noble.

I remember that at the beginning she only wanted her to be her younger sibling!

But it's not bad now. She has become the adopted daughter of the Ji family. She is the girl of the Ji family, but in a place like the palace, it is said that people can eat people.

I hope that after entering the palace, she can still maintain her original intention, be a good queen, and benefit the people of the world!

Xiao Suisui: My beautiful aunt has no ability to benefit the people, but the son she will give birth to in the future is very capable and can ensure peace in the world, so she can be the mother of a country!

"Two sisters-in-law, don't make fun of Pan'er again, and let the sixth and eighth sisters-in-law laugh at me."

Hu Shuer quickly said, "I don't dare! You are the Queen, I dare not laugh at anyone, but no one dares to laugh at you!"

Xiao Zhenzhu didn't say anything. She was confused in her heart. She knew clearly that the queen could only bring one personal maid when she entered the palace. Why did Zhu Xiuxiu still ask them to choose someone?

"Sixth sister-in-law, if you still make fun of me and make fun of me, I won't talk about the supply of military rations!"

"Ah! What did you say?"

After hearing Xie Pan'er's words, Hu Shuer became excited.

He quickly asked: "You...have you told His Majesty?"

Xie Pan'er deliberately pretended to be very angry and said: "You are making fun of me, but I won't say anything!"

"Oh, my dear sister, tell my sister-in-law what His Majesty said? Can we do this military ration business?"

"I can do whatever I can, as long as you stop making fun of me, I will do this business with you!"

"real?

But I didn’t make fun of you, I just told the truth.”

"Okay, don't be poor, let's get down to business first and let your third sister-in-law rest."

Huo Xing'er had a headache. She always liked to be lazy. If Mrs. Ji hadn't sent Aunt Zhang to find her to take charge of the overall situation, she wouldn't have even left her yard!

"Second sister-in-law is right, third sister-in-law's health is important!"

Hu Shuer quietly made a face and whispered to Xie Paner, "Let's talk quietly later."

Xie Pan'er suddenly felt that this sister-in-law was so cute. No wonder she and Sixth Brother were so in love with each other.

"Pan'er doesn't have much time at home. What you have to do during this period is to get familiar with your dowry industry, your dowry, and objects. These things will be your support after getting married. Your third brother knows that the emperor is poor, so he specially

I have prepared 300,000 taels of cash for you at the bottom of the box. The money is all ready, but I didn’t tell the world before, so your money is still in the bank and has not been put into the treasury!”

When Zhu Xiuxiu said this, she seemed so nonchalant, but Xiao Zhenzhu and Hu Shuer were completely shocked.
Chapter completed!
