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

This matter is not a secret and no one is shy about it, so there is nothing wrong with talking about it.

The current Empress Dowager is Prince Cheng’s biological mother. To the Emperor, she is not even his adoptive mother, but just one of his concubines.

The emperor's biological mother passed away before he ascended the throne. The emperor was kind and filial, and grateful for the support of his mother's good sisters, so he specially honored them as the empress dowager, which is also a good story.

Why did the Empress Dowager help the Emperor instead of supporting her own son? It was simple. Prince Cheng was ill and was born without a hand, so the late Emperor never thought of making him the heir.

The emperor also knew this reason, so after he ascended the throne, he directly promoted Prince Cheng to the throne, making him Prince Cheng, to ensure his wealth and glory for the rest of his life.

Xu Yixing always felt that the empress dowager was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy, so she had been living in seclusion for all these years.

"Then what does the Queen Mother like on a daily basis? When I go there later, how can I talk to her appropriately?"

Lu Anyuan looked at Xu Yixing and couldn't help laughing in his heart: "Why are you still worried about saying the wrong thing? Just look at your usual face!"

"Tsk! That's not to leave a good impression."

Arriving at Yian Hall, the young eunuch trotted in with small steps to report. After a while, the old nanny beside the empress dowager came out in person and took the two of them into the hall to pay their respects.

"Your humble daughter/grandson pays respects to the Queen Mother. May she live a thousand years!" It was really comfortable to kneel on the thick carpet in the Queen Mother's Palace.

"Oh, oh! Get up quickly, get up quickly!" The Queen Mother looked kind and cheerfully told the two of them not to bow.

Xu Yixing looked up and saw the empress dowager sitting high up in the front. Her face was full of wrinkles and she seemed to look older than a sixty-year-old. He didn't know why.

"You are Xu's second daughter, right? What's your name? Come forward and let me see you."

Xu boy? Uh... The Queen Mother is twenty years older than Dad, that's ok!

Xu Yixing walked forward a little and realized that the Queen Mother's eyesight was not very good, and perhaps her hearing was not very good either, so he replied loudly:

"Your humble servant Xu Yiyan pays respect to the Queen Mother once again, and wishes her eternal peace and blessings for thousands of years."

"Okay, okay!" The Queen Mother seemed even happier. She raised her hand and the nanny beside her brought a plate down. Xu Yiyan looked closely and saw it. Wow! The hairpin was made of red gold and rubies. The hairpin was as thick as a little finger. If it was placed on the head, it would probably pull out a lot of hair.

"Thank you, Queen Mother. This is too precious. I am overwhelmed."

Lu Anyuan also came up and said, "Just take this gift from the Imperial Grandmother. It's rare for her to be so happy."

"Okay." Siqin walked to the front and took the plate away. Another palace maid held a large box, which was a gift prepared for the Queen Mother.

"My father specifically instructed me to give this to you. It is old mountain ginseng from the northern border. It is most suitable for the queen mother."

"Good, your father is thoughtful! Yixing, I've always thought you were a good person since you were a child. I didn't expect that you and Yuan'er would have such a good relationship. Good, good!"

Xu Yixing shuddered and looked at Lu Anyuan. Lu Anyuan waited until the Queen Mother finished speaking before smiling faintly: "Grandmother, you are confused! This is Yiyan, not Yixing, please take a closer look!"

"What? Isn't it Yixing?" The Queen Mother seemed a little confused. She took the reading glasses from the nanny, put them on, looked at it carefully for a few times, and nodded: "Look at the look in my eyes, I thought it was Yixing, hahaha!"

Xu Yixing smiled along, but he felt dizzy. He had only seen the Queen Mother once or twice, and both times they were as far away as possible. Why did she call him Yixing as soon as she opened her mouth? It seemed that the Queen Mother's absence from seeing people was probably due to her old age and confusion. No wonder.

After the greetings, the two of them naturally took their seats. In front of the Queen Mother, Lu Anyuan really acted like a good grandson. He told two little jokes, which made the old lady laugh out loud. She kept asking them to stay for lunch.

"Grandmother, I have to meet the mothers and concubines of the palaces today. When I am free in the future, I will let Yi Yan accompany you every day!"

Haha, I haven't even gotten married yet, but I've already started arranging work for myself. This Lu Anyuan really doesn't treat me as an outsider.

"Oh, okay, okay. Yi Yan, you've been here for half a day, and I forgot to ask, why didn't your sister come with you? She's busy competing with others everywhere."

Oh, the old queen really cares about me. "No, my sister..."

Lu Anyuan gently put down the teacup and tapped it on the table to indicate that he would speak.

"Grandmother, you forgot that Yixing is already married. How can she still cause trouble like she did when she was a child?"

"Really?" The Queen Mother pressed her hand on her temple, as if she was recalling something. "I remember now, she married the eldest grandson of the Sun family, right? Oh, I'm not saying that they are not a good match, this is good..."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to go off track, the old nanny interrupted: "Queen Mother, it's time to take the medicine. The Queen and other concubines are still waiting to see them. Why don't you come here first?"

"Oh, okay, then you guys go first!"

Lu Anyuan took Xu Yixing away, and the old queen mother kept looking at their backs. When the nanny brought the medicine over, the queen mother seemed to remember something:

"I remember Yuan'er liked the eldest girl from the Xu family. Now he's going to marry the second girl. I'm afraid he's not happy about it, right?"

The maids who followed the Queen Mother had been serving since they entered the palace, so they had no taboos when speaking:

"Marriage is something that cannot be forced. It is destiny. Queen Mother, you should worry less. Look at you. Your confusion is getting worse. How could you mistake the Second Miss Xu for the First Miss Xu?"

"Eh? Wasn't it Yixing who was looking at me just now?"

Oh, I’m confused again!

After leaving Yi'an Hall, the two walked along the long corridor and were now heading to the Queen's residence. The Queen lived at the far east, close to the East Palace prepared for the future Crown Prince, just opposite to where the Queen Mother lived.

"Empress Dowager, do you recognize me...sister?" Xu Yixing looked at the eunuch leading the way in front of him, but still didn't dare to speak casually.

"Of course I know him." Lu Anyuan took a step forward, seemingly taking a big step forward, but in fact he would take a half step back with each step, and he was taking care of Xu Yixing's speed. "Xiao Youzi, please walk faster, the queen must be waiting anxiously."

The young eunuch responded, and could tell that he was being driven away, so he hurried over a dozen steps to distance himself from them. Seeing this, the palace servants behind him also naturally stepped back, leaving enough space for the two men.

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

"Why are you asking this question again? I didn't think of it last time."

"It's in the study." Lu Anyuan turned his head, hoping to give her some hints.

"Well... go to the study, let me think..." She had indeed been there a few times, but after being punished by her father, she got angry and never went to the palace again.
