Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

It was another early morning day. Now that winter had arrived, getting up early every day was simply torture for Xu Yixing. However, Lu Anyuan didn't seem to mind it at all. Every day when the servants called him, he would immediately get up. This perseverance made Xu Yixing admire him very much.

"I'm going to court first, you can sleep for a while." Lu Anyuan walked out of the mansion in high spirits. Ever since he learned that the second prince was given the title of Qibei, he often gloated over his misfortune. Look, you are so favored, but the fiefdom you get is not as good as mine, right?

Of course, it was impossible to show it on his face. The brothers still looked respectful when they met each other every day. He would only show his worries on his face before he was ten years old, and he had already experienced the bad luck that came with it.

When we arrived at the palace gate, we saw that today seemed a little different. The brothers seemed to be standing together. This was a rare scene.

"My royal brothers have arrived early. I have been lazy." Lu Anyuan stepped forward and bowed, then joined the team - it was impossible to avoid such an occasion.

The other people didn't say anything, but the Second Prince was smiling, and even the anger on his face caused by being kicked out of the palace was much less.

"Not too late, not too late. It's still early before the morning court, so we can chat. I haven't invited you to visit my new mansion since I opened it. I wonder when you are free so we can get together?"

The eldest prince hated such hard-to-get talk, so he took over and said, "Second brother, just tell us the time. We will definitely be there."

"Yes, second brother!"

"Yes, second brother, you have to invite us!"

The second prince smiled and nodded slightly, still with a mysterious smile on his face.

This is when a good follower comes into play. Following the words of the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince continued, "Does Second Brother have any happy events? Otherwise, why would he only think of inviting us now after such a long time?"

The second prince stretched out his hand and gestured: "Fourth brother is more careful."

Everyone was curious at first. Because of Wu Xueyan's incident, the relationship between the Fourth Prince and the Second Prince had deteriorated severely. How come today, they were reconciled again?

Everyone was suspicious as the Second Prince continued, "May God bless our Great Xia. The person in charge of the handover to Qibei reported that an iron mine was discovered in the south of Qibei and a silver mine in the west. Don't you think this is a blessing for our Great Xia? Hahahaha!"

The Second Prince's hearty laughter soon became even louder under the influence of the palace gate. The ministers who were originally standing nearby also heard it, but with the other princes in front of them, no matter how curious they were, they did not have the courage to move closer to the group of princes. They could only suppress their patience and pretend not to hear it.

"Really?" The eldest prince's eyes sparkled, and an abnormal blush appeared on his honest face, as if he was excited or angry, but considering his expression, it could only be the former.

"Of course, I will report this to my father at the court this morning. Don't tell anyone in advance. This is a surprise!"

Surprise is certain, but as for joy, perhaps only the Second Prince and the Emperor would be happy.

As early as when the Second Prince laughed, Lu Anyuan used his eyes to ask the Fifth Prince, and the Fifth Prince blinked and lowered his eyes slightly, indicating that it was true.

Lu Anyuan really couldn't laugh this time. He clenched his fists. If someone was so blind as to touch him at this moment, he would probably be beaten to death by him.

It was a pity that there were only ministers pretending to be deaf and dumb around him, and there was no such person to vent his anger on. So Lu Anyuan tightened and loosened his fists, and finally smiled and bowed his hands to congratulate: "Congratulations, second brother, congratulations, father!"

The others more or less agreed, only the Second Prince smiled the most sincerely, but his words were not so sincere: "Thank you very much, but Seventh Brother, you said that the Weeping South and Weeping North are only separated by a river, you should also find someone to investigate, who knows if you have it too!"

"Yes, thanks for your good words, brother. I will send someone to check when I get back."

The palace gates were open, so they could no longer chat, and no one seemed to want to hear about this. Civil and military officials filed in, waiting to hear what was new in each department today.

Lu Anyuan had no idea how he managed to get through this morning court session. He only remembered that his father seemed to laugh loudly after his second brother finished speaking, and then he said a bunch of things that he didn't hear at all.

All the ministers knelt down to congratulate him, and he just followed suit. The jealousy in his heart had already broken through his defenses. This was not fair, not fair at all!

He had established his own government at the age of twelve, and his fiefdom was Qinan. In terms of management, he was more concerned about Qinan than any other prince. Because it was his fiefdom, the foundation of his life. Everyone said that Qinan was poor, but he didn't care. As long as it was his, it was good.

But why? Isn’t life in the north more miserable than in the south? How come minerals were dug up there as soon as the second brother became king?

My people had started investigating long ago, but why couldn't they find anything? Was it really because I was unlucky? But that shouldn't be the case. Even the person I loved had come back to life. How could I be unlucky?

He even suspected that his second brother had deliberately made up this lie in order to win the favor of his father. But he also knew that this possibility was very small. After all, the expression of a smug villain on his second brother's face was real.

After the court session, Lu Anyuan did not return home immediately, which was very rare. Instead, he carefully read the newspaper report from Qibei in the classroom, which proved that what the second prince said was true.

Why is his life so good?

After returning to the mansion, Lu Anyuan felt a little dispirited. He took several deep breaths before entering the door and then walked towards the inner hall.

However, Xu Yixing immediately noticed something strange when she said the first sentence.

"Are you sick?" Xu Yixing asked with his head tilted, holding an invitation that had just been delivered to him.

"No, I'm just a little tired. Who sent this?" Lu Anyuan pointed at the invitation. It was not because he was sharp-eyed, but because the invitation was written on red paper. However, he did not remember anyone holding a wedding during these days.

"It was sent from the Second Prince's residence, inviting us to attend his housewarming party the day after tomorrow."

"Hmph!" Lu Anyuan snatched the invitation and threw it on the ground. You are such a show-off, using red paper for a housewarming party, it makes you look so arrogant, doesn't it?

Although Xu Yixing was frightened, he still wanted everyone in the room to leave before he slowly asked.

"Hey, you're so irritable, did you eat too much ginger?"

"Puchi!" Lu Anyuan really had no idea what to do with Xu Yixing. He relaxed his shoulders and sat down, then told her the "good news" with a sad face.

"Qibei discovered iron and silver mines, and reported it to the court this morning, so he invited us. This is simply showing off."

"Huh? This bastard is so lucky?" After hearing this, Xu Yixing stepped on the invitation cards on the ground a few times, but he was still very angry.
