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

Xu Yixing woke Siqin up and was relieved to see that she was really just asleep. Would this drug damage her brain?

Siqin followed the young lady down the mountain, her mind racing all the way: How did I fall asleep? This shouldn't have happened... Maybe I was too tired these days.

When he walked to where the coachman parked the car, Xu Yixing saw the familiar carriage at a glance. Wasn't this the carriage that the Seventh Prince rode in that day?

Run!

She didn't want to meet the Seventh Prince at all. That man was too aggressive and reckless. Although he saved her life, the scene of the two of them being in the same carriage last time still gave her a big fright. She didn't dare to let any rumors spread.

"Miss Yi Yan?"

Well, whatever you fear will come true.

The person who got off the car saw Xu Yixing at a glance and was looking at her outfit today.

"temple..."

Lu Anyuan put his finger on his lips, signaling not to speak out. Xu Yixing knew that he also didn't want to reveal his identity here.

Xu Yixing changed his address in time: "Young Master, what a coincidence that you are here to burn incense as well?"

Lu Anyuan did not respond to the greeting, but looked puzzled: "Why are you dressed like this?"

"It's inconvenient to go out alone, so I thought of disguising myself and not letting anyone know."

Lu Anyuan frowned, wondering if her life in the mansion was already so difficult that she needed to disguise herself secretly and ask the Bodhisattva for help?

"I heard that you were ill a few days ago. You still look so thin now. Is it because the doctor in your mansion is useless?"

"Don't blame the doctor, it's my own poor health. I haven't thanked you for the medicine yet. I still have one pill left, but I don't have it with me today. Why don't I return it to you another day?" Oh, who would have thought that I would meet him today.

"No need, keep it for future use."

Oh, who are you cursing?

"I'm so sorry... By the way, why are you here today?"

Lu Anyuan lowered his eyes and said, "My second brother is ill. I am here to burn sutras and pray for him."

"Ah..." The second brother Lu Anyuan was talking about was naturally the second prince.

The second prince is the son of His Majesty's favorite Concubine Ying, and is also the one most likely to become the crown prince, so he attracts a lot of attention.

Speaking of the current royal family, the emperor has seven sons and six daughters, which is not too few, but not too many either.

However, none of these thirteen children was born to the current queen, so the position of crown prince has remained vacant. Which of the princes does not want to compete for the throne?

Xu Yixing suddenly felt a little sorry for Lu Anyuan. Among the seven princes, only he and the fourth prince had no biological mother and left the palace early.

Things like praying for blessings and going to the temple, although not unlucky, are still somewhat taboo. After all, these are just errands for dealing with servants, how can a prince get involved in them?

It can be seen that the Seventh Prince’s life is not easy either, otherwise why don’t other princes do such things?

"Thank you for your hard work. I have to go home. If I am any later, my parents will be worried. Goodbye, sir!" Xu Yixing jumped onto the carriage quickly and heard Lu Anyuan asking behind him:

"My aunt, Madam Jing, is hosting a banquet at her home the day after tomorrow. Do you want to attend?"

Xu Yixing was stunned for a moment and didn't react to what he meant for a moment.

Why did Madam Jing invite me? She glanced at Siqin, who answered softly, "The fifth of every month is Madam Jing's guest reception day."

Oh oh oh! Xu Yixing knew that he was overthinking, it turned out to be a guest-entertaining day.

"Mother should be attending the banquet, but I don't know if she will bring me along."

Lu Anyuan nodded. As expected, her life in the mansion was difficult.

Logically speaking, the Xu family now has only one unmarried daughter. As the legal mother, Gu should take her out more often to show her to the noble ladies. This is also a popular channel for meeting girls in the capital, and many marriages have been accomplished through these banquets.

Now that Gu is so uninterested, Yi Yan may be in trouble!

"I guess your sister will go too. You can talk to your parents about it and ask them to come together."

Xu Yixing didn't know why he suddenly cared about her, but did that fake girl have the courage to show herself in public?

After Xu Yi left, the Seventh Prince was reluctant to go up the mountain. He just stared at her carriage and watched her go until Ah Da came over and reminded him, "Sir, this is not in accordance with the rules."

"What's the point of talking about inappropriateness? I'm in a public place with so many people coming and going. Have I done anything out of line? You, stop staring at me."

"I am just worried that if the other young masters knew about this, they would take the opportunity to complain to the master."

Lu Anyuan looked at Ah Da with amusement and some disdain. "That's the girl that aunt said she liked."

Ah Da was shocked: "Mrs. Jing wants to marry Miss Xu to you? But you don't like her..."

Lu Anyuan glanced over, and Ah Da knew he had said something wrong, so he quickly stopped talking and said something else: "But Miss Xu is not from a high family, she is just a concubine's daughter, and she is not valued by General Xu, how can she be worthy of you?"

"Really?" Lu Anyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled self-deprecatingly: "But I am also a concubine's son, and my father doesn't value me. Isn't this just a perfect match?"

"So what! You are the emperor... Anyway, none of the seven of us were born to a legitimate mother. We are all illegitimate children. Who is more noble than the other?"

"Not all illegitimate children are the same, Ah Da. I just feel sorry for Yi Yan. After all, she has done me a favor. I also want her to leave the Xu Mansion as soon as possible and live a more comfortable life."

As for the woman he likes, she is someone he will never have any contact with in this life, and he has already accepted his fate.

Lu Anyuan entered the temple and respectfully lit incense and worshiped on the cushion in the main hall, but he did not worship the Second Prince's illness he mentioned. Instead, he was confessing to the Bodhisattva, confessing something that had already become a foregone conclusion.

Lu Anyuan regretted too many things in his life, such as not taking a good look at his mother's appearance when he was five years old, so that he could only rely on the few remaining portraits to remember his mother;

For example, when he was eight years old, he gave up the opportunity to be fostered by Concubine Ying to his equally poor fourth brother. Although Concubine Ying already had a son and did not love the fourth brother very much, with a favored foster mother, the fourth brother's life was much better than his own.

For example, when he was twelve years old, his father asked him whether he wanted to set up his own residence to hone his skills or continue to stay in the palace to recuperate, he chose to leave the palace without hesitation and became the first prince to set up his own residence.

But at the same time, he also became the target of public criticism. The hostility of the concubines in the palace and the jealousy of his brothers almost caused him to die outside the palace.

Thanks to the little girl who was less than ten years old he met at that time, who dragged him back to the back door of Xu's house from the snow, begged the court doctor to pull out the arrow for him, and stole a Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill from General Xu to save his life.
