Ji Mei'er did not respond to Aunt Lin's eager look. Instead, she kindly gave them some advice, "Mother, please persuade father these few days. Should we go to the palace to see my sister?"

"Look at that little bastard?!" Aunt Lin blurted out.

Ji Qing grabbed Aunt Lin and said, "Mom!" The meaning in his eyes was very clear. His eldest sister was the queen now, so he couldn't speak carelessly and had to be careful about what he said.

Aunt Lin immediately saw what her son meant from his eyes and immediately shut her mouth.

"But, but, your father said that he would not go to the palace to beg that little bitch."

"That's our eldest sister." Jimer emphasized again.

Aunt Lin really wanted to curse Jixiang. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been imprisoned in the Dali Temple twice. Thinking of the suffering she had endured in the Dali Temple prison, she wanted to tear Jixiang to pieces.

But now, Jixiang is already the queen. She looked at her own children in front of her and had to suppress her anger.

"Okay, I'll persuade your father again."

"If dad insists on not going into the palace, then your daughter will accompany you." Ji Meir said quickly.

Ji Qing looked at Ji Mei'er, then at Aunt Lin, "Since Second Sister is willing to accompany Mother to the palace, there is no need to ask Father."

Aunt Lin and Ji Mei'er looked at Ji Qing immediately.

Ji Qing said, "Eldest sister is now the queen. Even if she doesn't want to see us, she can't be so shameless in front of so many people in the palace. After all, she is the mother of a country now. If she doesn't even care about her own father and siblings, it will be ridiculed by all officials and people if it gets out."

"Yes, Jiqing is right! Mother, you can go to the palace to seek benefits for our Ji family. You don't have to ask father to go with you."

"If she doesn't give it to me, I will have her deeds publicized so that she won't be able to be the queen!"

A smug smile appeared on Jiménez's face.

Aunt Lin looked at her two children again, and seemed to have finally made up her mind, "I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning."

In Kunning Palace, the three babies have learned to sit up, and Jixiang is playing with them. Nanny Yu hurried to report.

"My lady, the eunuch outside said that your family has come to the palace to see you."

"My dad is here?!" Jixiang was happy and stood up to go out to greet him.

Nanny Yu said quickly, "It was a woman who said she was your mother. Prince Chen's concubine was with her."

Jixiang understood and sat down again to entertain the children. "Let them wait outside and tell them that I have some unfinished business here."

"Yes!" Nanny Yu happily went out to pass on the message.

Erya curled her lips, "My Lady, what are they doing here?"

Erya knew that Jixiang didn’t have a good relationship with her family, except for her biological father.

Moreover, Concubine Mei married the crown prince in place of her sister. After she became the crown prince's concubine, she saw her sister being bullied by the queen, but she never offered a helping hand.

"Father has become the father-in-law of the emperor, and the emperor has given him a lot of rewards. Life in the mansion should be pretty good." Jixiang looked at the three children, "We'll know in a while."

Seeing that the queen showed no interest, Erya no longer took it seriously and followed several wet nurses to learn needlework, preparing to make a pair of beautiful shoes for the little princess.

Nanny Yu came in and said, "Madam, they still want to see you as soon as possible. They said they have to wait until they go back to serve the father-in-law."

"Oh, you didn't say why you entered the palace?"

"Concubine Mei did mention it, saying that she came to express her gratitude for the crown prince's coronation."

Jixiang handed the three children to the wet nurses and said, "Erya, come on, follow me."

Nanny Yu did not arrange Aunt Lin and Concubine Mei in the main hall, but instead arranged them in a small hall in the side hall that was used to receive the palace's main women.

When Jixiang and Erya brought people over, Jimei was frowning and complaining to Aunt Lin, "Jixiang is so vicious. She deliberately left us here and wanted us to sit on the bench."

"Since you know that you will be left out in the cold if you enter the palace, why do you still want to come? Wouldn't it be nice to stay in your own palace and be your concubine Mei?" Jixiang walked into the room with a sullen face.

Ji Meir wanted to fight back, but Aunt Lin pulled her hard.

Aunt Lin quickly leaned over to greet Jixiang, "I pay my respects to the Empress."

Ji Meier then realized that she had to salute, so she quickly knelt down and saluted, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."

Jixiang ignored them and sat down at the main seat. "Tell me, why did you come to the palace today? The ghost doctor just went to treat my father the other day and said that he has recovered well and there is no need for me to worry."

Aunt Lin tried to force a smile, "It was your second sister who said that the eldest prince was crowned a king. It must be you who spoke well of them in front of the emperor, and she wanted me to accompany her to the palace today to thank you."

Ji Meier said quickly, "Yes, the prince was suppressed by the late emperor, no, by Prince Duan. He had nothing to do all day long. He had a lot of abilities but nowhere to display them, and he was always unhappy. Now that the emperor has named him the Prince of Chen and given him a job at the Zongzheng Temple, he seems to have become a different person, and he has even treated me better."

"I just wanted to come to the palace specially to thank my sister," he said and winked at Cui'er, the maid beside him, who quickly handed over a wooden box.

Ji Meier took it and handed it to Jixiang, "This is a little gift from my younger sister, I hope you can accept it."

Arya quickly took the wooden box, opened it, and found an emerald bracelet inside.

Jixiang looked at it and said, "I'm sorry to have cost my sister so much money."

Seeing that there was no joy on Jixiang's face, Ji Meier said sadly, "Sister, I know that you are the queen and you have everything you need. But sister still wants to give sister some good things, but the prince and I have just moved into the palace, and there are still many places in the palace that need to be repaired, and they all need money. So for the time being..."

"Your Majesty, when Prince Chen was the Crown Prince, there must have been a lot of things in his mansion. Can you tell the Emperor to return all the things that were originally in the Crown Prince's mansion to them?" Aunt Lin reminded.

Ji Meier nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, if the prince can take back the things from the Crown Prince's Mansion, our lives will be much better. At that time, I will pick out a few more exquisite things to give to my sister."

Jixiang looked at the mother and daughter without saying anything.

Seeing that Jixiang did not object, Aunt Lin continued, "As for our Ji family, many of our properties were confiscated. Although some of them were returned later, when your father was arrested for the second time, he only left us the house you bought for him. The rest were not returned to us."

"Those are the foundations of our Ji family's many years of hard work. Your father is too embarrassed to come to you for help, but for the Ji family, and for your majesty to have a more solid family, I have no choice but to shamelessly come to the palace to beg you to ask the emperor to help our Ji family get back those things that belong to us."

Jixiang finally understood the purpose of the two mother and daughter's visit to the palace. After thinking for a while, he said, "I am having someone investigate the Ji family's affairs, and there will be results soon. As for Prince Chen, the emperor needs to give the order, and I can't make the decision."

When Ji Meir heard this, she hurried forward and said, "Sister, you must help my sister and the prince." Her eyes immediately became misty and her face looked pleading.

However, when Aunt Lin heard that there was hope of getting the things in Ji Mansion back, she felt much calmer. "Mei'er, don't put too much pressure on your elder sister. You are her younger sister, and she will definitely think about you. She has already asked someone to handle the affairs of our Ji Mansion. Your sister will definitely help you get the things in your Prince's Mansion back."

Humph, this woman is really taking advantage of others.

"I tried to find a way to get back the Ji family's assets for my father. And the ones who took them away were none other than Prince Chen and his men. It was his duty to return the things that were stolen from our family, and it was upheld by the laws of our Great Saint Dynasty. But Prince Chen wanted to take away the things in the Prince's Mansion, which was against the ancestral rules. From the day he was stripped of his title of Crown Prince, everything in the Prince's Mansion had nothing to do with him anymore."

"You!" Guimer was furious. "My trousseau is in there!"

"You stole all your dowry from me." Jixiang looked at me coldly.
