In the reception room, Fu Guiyun finally met the adopted sister of the Han family whom the prince had been talking about for a long time.

Han Nian and Lu Linchu walked side by side, looking very intimate.

She was just of adult age and looked very petite, but she was not at all timid when she first entered the palace and kept looking around all the way.

Even after entering the Chuxian Palace, he was still sighing: "Brother, the Liyang Palace is so big and magnificent. My legs are sore from walking all the way here."

She spoke in a childish and cute manner. In addition, Lu Linchu had been spoiled since childhood and loved to sympathize with the weak. He was very happy to care for this new sister.

"Niannian, if you like, you can stay in the mansion for a few more days. I'll ask your sister-in-law to prepare more delicious food for you every day."

He spoke gently as if coaxing a child.

"Okay, I've heard that my sister-in-law treats people very well."

Han Nian answered happily, and when he looked up, he saw a room full of people standing in the inner room. All of them were dressed in extremely luxurious clothes, and at a glance, he couldn't tell who was the master and who was the concubine or servant.

Before entering the mansion, her mother gave her many warnings and taught her some rules, but once she entered this huge mansion, she was already dizzy and had no time to think about all that.

Without waiting for Lu Linchu to catch up and introduce herself, she rushed over to grab the most conspicuous scenery in the crowd, grabbed her hand tightly, and shouted happily: "Sister-in-law, you are my sister-in-law, right?"

Fu Guiyun and everyone else were stunned.

Nanny Tong and several old maids frowned secretly.

As expected, she is just a crude daughter of a military household, without any manners at all.

But considering that she was the Crown Prince's adopted sister and the descendant of a loyal and brave man, they all bowed and saluted, but most of them had no expression on their faces.

Fu Guiyun didn't know that Han Nian was so strong before. Seeing her so excited that she pinched his wrist so hard that it hurt, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Such a reckless girl really needs to be properly disciplined before she can get married.

"Niannian, you have never seen the Crown Prince's Consort, how do you know that she is your sister-in-law?"

Lu Linchu came forward, looked at her affectionateness, and asked her curiously.

"It's not simple yet."

Looking at Fu Guiyun with a smile, Han Nian answered innocently, "Sister-in-law is born with a gorgeous, dignified, elegant and generous appearance, just like a rich and noble flower in the world. With such appearance and temperament, she is unique when standing in a crowd of people. She is born to be a noble person, and she will definitely not be just a concubine."

Although Fu Guiyun and Lu Linchu were happy to hear this, the faces of the concubines next to them became a little embarrassed.

Caidie was so angry that she bit her lip silently.

What do you mean? I look like someone who is a concubine?

The maids and old women were even more angry, and they all looked at each other with unspeakable grievances.

If so, our faces are not even worthy of an aunt?

The scene suddenly became awkward.

Fu Guiyun smiled stiffly, and had to quickly smooth things over by introducing her three concubines one by one.

Han Nian realized belatedly that he seemed to have said something wrong just now.

Looking at the three concubines, she apologized with an embarrassed look on her face: "I didn't mean that you look like..."

"Miss Nian Nian, there is no need to say more."

Fu Xiang smiled faintly and said, "I am supported by the Crown Prince's wife and can serve the Crown Prince. Being a concubine in the palace is already a great blessing."

Fangyi also pursed her lips to show that she didn't mind, and smiled generously at Han Nian.

Lu Linchu was very happy about this: "Nian Nian is just a child at heart. It's rare that you guys don't bother with her."

Just at this moment, Cui Ying and the old nanny beside her were led in.

Although she was still in mourning, she had dressed up specially before coming here. She was neither ostentatious nor unworthy of the dignity of a young lady from the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as everyone met, they bowed to each other.

Han Nian stared blankly at the woman who came in. She had a very good appearance but was dressed very simply and elegantly, yet everyone was so respectful to her. It was really surprising.

She remembered that her brother had four concubines, so she asked Lu Linchu directly: "Brother, which concubine is this?"

When the old lady next to Cui Ying heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes.

"Nian Nian, stop talking nonsense."

Lu Linchu's heart trembled, and he quickly explained: "This is the eldest daughter of the Cui family of the Duke of Hengguo's Mansion. She is my foolish brother's adopted sister in Dali. She is temporarily staying in the palace. Logically, you should call her sister."

"So it's Sister Cui. I'm so sorry."

Han Nian pretended to show a hint of respect that he only had when looking at Fu Guiyun: "Greetings, sister."

Although he was trapped in Lanyue Tower in mourning the whole day, Cui Ying had people find out all the news in the mansion.

I had heard before that my brother had adopted a new sister, and I had wanted to come over to see her on the pretext of celebrating the Crown Prince's wife's birthday, but I never expected that she would be such a hottie.

Cui Ying was full of disgust in her heart, but she still responded with a fake smile: "Good morning, young lady."

She didn't even call her sister, and then immediately looked at Fu Guiyun and became very respectful.

"My sister, with my current status, shouldn't come out to disturb my sister-in-law's joy. But since I came to the palace, I have troubled my sister-in-law with her concern and care, so I prepared a small gift and wanted to give it to my sister-in-law in person to repay her kindness in taking care of me."

After saying this, he motioned to the nanny to hand over the box in her hand, and said with a smile, "It's just a small token of my respect."

The box was wrapped so tightly that even the color of the box could not be seen. Many people opened their eyes wide and wanted to take a glimpse of it, to see what kind of rare treasure the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion would send as a gift.

However, Fu Guiyun knew Cui Ying's mood at the moment. The entire Cui family was massacred, and they came to Liyang City with Lu Linchu to escape.

After all, she was born into a prominent family, and she had to maintain her dignity no matter how poor she was, so she had to bite the bullet and show up today.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister."

Fu Guiyun calmly sent someone to take the gift away, and smiled and said, "Today, the treasury just sent up a batch of the first new tea of ​​autumn. Sister, please sit down and taste it with everyone. I will ask Xiao Kuizi to send some to you later."

"Yes, now that the seventh day of the lunar year has passed, Ah Ying, you can go out for a walk and don't get sick from staying in the house."

Lu Linchu said with concern: "My foolish brother asked the restaurant to prepare some vegetarian food. It won't be too late for you to stay in your sister-in-law's palace for lunch and then go back. It's a good opportunity to get to know Nian Nian."

When Cui Ying heard that she had to get close to this hottie, she felt disgusted again.

I thought it was an honor to recognize such a prominent figure as the Prince of Liyang as my sworn brother, and I also imagined that he would take special care of me. I never thought that he would even recognize cats and dogs in the market as his sisters.

She just felt that she had suffered a great humiliation.

What kind of family was the Cui family? How could a vulgar daughter of a military household marry into her and call her sister?

"Ignorant people will not disturb my sister and everyone else's gathering."

Cui Ying showed no emotion and bowed respectfully: "Sister, I'll take my leave."

After saying this, he led the nanny away swiftly.

"It's just a fallen Duke's Mansion, and it belongs to an enemy country. Why are you putting on so much airs?"

Han Nian saw that Miss Cui looked down on him, so he curled his lips and muttered something, but he didn't want to argue with her and casually grabbed Fu Guiyun's arm.

"Sister-in-law, my brother should have told you that I want to live in the palace for a while, which is good for being away from my mother, so that she won't have to think about arranging a marriage for me."

When it comes to marriage, she gets a headache and starts to ramble: "Sister-in-law, you don't know what kind of people my mother is looking for for me. They have no family background and are ugly. They are really not pleasing to the eye."
