I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

The Queen Mother lived in Shoukang Palace, which was some distance away from the Council of State.

The emperor left the Council Hall and rode in a sedan chair instead of walking, and Qiao Linxi could only follow behind on foot.

Gu Changfeng served on the emperor's right side. After walking for a while, he slowed down and landed beside Qiao Linxi.

"Tired?"

Qiao Linxi panted slightly and shook his head: "It's okay."

She adjusted the gold hairpin on her head and said, "This is too heavy."

This gold hairpin weighs at least one or two kilograms. According to the estimation in her world, one gram of gold is conservatively priced at four hundred yuan. Two kilograms is one kilogram, which is four hundred thousand yuan. These two gold hairpins are worth eight hundred thousand yuan.

Including the clothes and shoes, it would be at least one million.

She is now a walking millionaire. No wonder those young ladies from noble families are trying their best to get into the palace and the royal palaces. Entering the palace can really satisfy one's vanity.

Once you enter the golden cave, you will have to struggle less in your lifetime.

Gu Changfeng smiled imperceptibly, took out an exquisite little box from his sleeve and handed it to Qiao Linxi.

"what?"

“Ginseng slices.”

Qiao Linxi was puzzled: "What are you doing for me?"

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "Eat something to replenish your energy and refresh yourself."

After tossing and turning for most of the night, Qiao Linxi got up early in the morning and didn't eat anything. It was okay to sit in the carriage, so that he wouldn't consume his body energy if he didn't move.

But after walking for a while, Qiao Linxi began to feel unwell.

She thought about it and didn't refuse. She took it, opened the box, pinched a piece and put it in her mouth.

"Take more. We may have to deal with the Queen Mother and the others for a long time, so lunch may be late."

Qiao Linxi said "oh" and put a few more slices in her mouth before returning the box to Gu Changfeng.

This scene happened to be seen by the emperor who turned his head in front, and he understood what he meant. Gu Changfeng, this thousand-year-old iron tree, blossomed.

At this moment in Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting on a soft couch with several female relatives sitting below her.

The Queen was wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe and sitting next to the Queen Mother. The other female members of the family were all ladies in the palace, and they were chatting with each other.

The Queen Mother is the Emperor's biological mother. After the Emperor ascended the throne, some of his brothers went to their fiefdoms, while others changed their surnames and became princes of the opposite sex.

As for Zhao Dongqing, his father was of royal blood, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he took the initiative to change his surname to that of his mother. This also gave the emperor a reassurance, telling him that he would not rebel in the future.

The current crown prince is also a legitimate son, and he is also the eldest son. He will surely ascend the throne smoothly in the future.

The queen gave birth to three princes and a daughter. The Princess of Xiyue who came to marry the prince married her son, the fifth prince.

Originally, the Queen did not want to let her son marry her, but the Princess of Xiyue was a legitimate princess. If she pushed a prince born out of wedlock, the Xiyue Kingdom might have objections.

"Queen, have you seen the woman the Emperor was talking about?"

The Queen Mother asked the Queen.

The Queen shook her head and said, "I have never seen him, but the Crown Prince came back from the Emperor's visit yesterday and said that he was indeed quite good-looking."

"I am also curious about what kind of woman she is that the emperor would mention her so many times in the court."

"I'm curious, too." The Queen smiled. "From what the Emperor said, he wants to make her a princess."

"Your Highness the Queen, your Highness the Empress, your words have made me even more curious about who that woman is."

The one who spoke was Concubine Liang, the mother of the Sixth Prince.

"Who says it's not?" Concubine Xian agreed.

The Queen Mother looked around at the concubines sitting below. She knew exactly what they were doing there.

These concubines all had princes, and when they saw the emperor mention Qiao Linxi several times, they all had their own plans in mind, wanting their sons to marry her.

The emperor likes Qiao Linxi. If his son marries her, the emperor and his son will like her more.

But, can they really achieve their wish?

"The Emperor has arrived..."

"Princess Huai'an has arrived..."

The voice that the women in the palace had been waiting for finally sounded outside the palace. Several concubines immediately stood up, straightened their clothes, and went out to greet him.

"I respectfully welcome His Majesty."

The emperor frowned when he saw the concubines there, but soon returned to normal, so quickly that no one noticed.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After several concubines stood up, they looked in front and behind the emperor, and saw only a golden-haired, beautiful-looking woman.

"This is Princess Huai'an, right?"

After Concubine Liang stood up, she walked a few steps towards Qiao Linxi warmly, took her hand and said with a smile: "You are indeed a beauty. No wonder the Sixth Prince can't forget you."

The eunuch beside the emperor smiled at Qiao Linxi and introduced the ladies in the palace one by one.

"Princess Huaian, this is the Queen Mother, this is the Queen, and this is Concubine Liang."

Qiao Linxi pulled his hand out of Concubine Liang's hand and knelt down in front of everyone.

"I greet the Queen Mother, the Queen, and all the ladies. I wish you all the best."

"This girl..."

The Queen Mother looked at Qiao Linxi from afar, and when she saw her kneeling down, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Princess Huai'an, you are a princess now. You don't have to kneel and kowtow when you meet the ladies."

Gu Changfeng bent over and took small steps forward to help Qiao Linxi up.

"Forehead……"

Qiao Linxi blushed. Shouldn't we all kneel down in this evil human rights society?

"Get up. This is your first time in the palace, so it's normal that you don't understand the palace rules. I will send a nanny to Qiao's house to follow you later."

Only after the Queen Mother spoke did Qiao Linxi stand up.

"Thank you for your kindness, Queen Mother. However, I do not plan to live in the capital. I have to return to Lanqing City to take care of my brothers and sisters."

Qiao Linxi declined.

"Your Highness, Princess Huai'an is a capable person. The Sixth Prince came back and told me that Princess Huai'an brought her eighteen brothers and sisters from far away to Lanqing City by herself and even opened a shop to do business."

"Eighteen?" Concubine Liang's words surprised the Queen Mother: "Your father gave birth to eighteen children? This family is really prosperous, more prosperous than the royal family."

Qiao Linxi shook her head and said, "My father gave birth to five of us siblings, and the rest are from my second, third, and fourth uncles' families."

"Oh. Princess Huai'an is indeed a good one."

The Queen Mother knew that Qiao Linxi had donated countless gold and silver to the national treasury, and she had a good impression of Qiao Linxi.

Looking at her face, she also had a kind look, and she liked her from the bottom of her heart.

"Let's set the table."

As soon as the empress dowager finished speaking, the eunuch's message was heard outside the palace again.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, the Sixth Prince has arrived..."

The Empress, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, frowned slightly when she heard the news. How come Qiao Linxi was so popular?
