The empress looked at him without batting an eyelid. The empress broke out in a cold sweat after being stared at by the emperor. The empress finally moved. "Xuan."

With a command, Dong Fang Li who was waiting outside said, "This son greets royal father and mother." He walked in and bowed to the emperor.

"Get up! "What business do you have with me?" The emperor's expression did not change at all.

"This son has come to seek forgiveness from royal father." Dongfang Li looked at the Emperor.

"Oh? What mistake did you make? " The Emperor's eyes finally showed a trace of movement as he looked at Dong Fang Li.

"This son should have known better yesterday, and did not know the seriousness of the situation. He was too emotional and almost went astray.

"That's why I'm not going astray." Dongfang Li lowered her head, not allowing the Emperor to see the hidden emotions in his eyes.

"Tell me, what adjustments did you make?" Upon hearing this, the Emperor's emotions finally fluctuated.

"Your son requests the Prime Minister to marry his second daughter, Xia Caisi." Dongfang Li told him what he had done today.

The Emperor looked at Dongfang Li with a bit of praise in his eyes. As expected, he was his son.

"Un, well done!" The Emperor nodded and praised.

"Thank you, royal father, for your appreciation." Dong Fang Li knew that her royal father had already eliminated her prejudice against him and was overjoyed for a moment.

The Emperor looked at Dong Fang Li, thought for a while, and then said to the Empress, "My beloved concubine, tomorrow, we will hold a banquet at the Imperial Palace. We will meet the second daughter of the Prime Minister's family, and we will also find a time tomorrow to settle the matter between Eldest Brother and Xia Sizhu.

Or tomorrow!" "We'll settle it together. This way, we can have an explanation for the Queen Mother." "The Queen thought for a moment and said.

"Boss, what do you think?" The Emperor looked at the silent Dong Fang Li and asked.

"As royal father commands." Previously, he didn't marry Xia Sizhu because he had promised to take care of her and marry her first. But now, that promise couldn't be fulfilled anymore. So what if he married one more time?

"Since that's the case, then let the two sisters marry each other! This way, neither side will fall, so it will be easier for the Queen Mother to explain the situation. " The emperor thought for a moment. Since ancient times, there had been many instances of sisters serving one husband. It would be better to let them marry together, so he could tell his mother as soon as possible.

"Yes." Dong Fang Li, who was holding onto the idea of marrying one of them and marrying two others, quickly agreed.

"Your majesty, chenqie has something that she doesn't know whether to say or not." The Queen looked hesitant.

"Speak!" I pardon you for your innocence. " The Emperor looked at the Empress and said.

"The empress dowager likes Xia Si Zhu and knows that Xia Si Zhu likes Li'er. This concubine understands, but what concubine doesn't understand is that Xia Si Zhu has no talent or virtue, so why didn't the emperor stop her?" The empress thought for a moment before finally speaking of her long-held doubts. Ever since the day of the empress dowager's marriage, these doubts had always existed within her heart, like a thorn. It didn't hurt when she was free, but once it moved, it would pierce her to the point that she couldn't endure it.

"I love my mother very much. What my mother wants to do, as long as it does not endanger the country on the river, I will agree to it. As for the other reason, I can't tell you yet, in short, since my eldest is married to Xia Sizhu, there are only benefits and no disadvantages. In the future, my eldest will naturally know what the benefits are."

"Xia Sizhu has no morals and talents, so it's not a problem. Just marry her and bring her back to be raised. If you don't bring her out and make a disgrace of yourself, then that's enough." The Emperor spoke very calmly, as if this was a very small matter.

When the empress heard the emperor's words, she felt restless and lost utterly after playing several games of chess.

"Forget it, you can go back now!" The emperor saw that the empress had no intention of playing chess, so he asked her to leave.

"Chenqie will take her leave." The empress also knew that she was not in a good state right now, so she went down the hill.

After bidding her farewell, she thought about the benefits the Emperor had mentioned. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't think of any benefits that would make the Emperor agree to let Li Er marry her as his concubine.

Unable to come up with a solution, the empress could only use the stupidest method. That was to wait. Once Li'er marries Xia Sizhu, she would know what the benefits are.

She believed that the Emperor wouldn't lie to her about this matter. No matter what, Li Li had to marry Xia Sizhu.

Early in the morning, Xia Sizhu gloomily sat in front of the mirror and allowed Ling'er to fiddle around with her head.

Seriously, she was going to attend another banquet in the Imperial Palace. Once again, she was bored to death. Xia Sizhu's side was filled with grief and resentment, while Ling'er was extremely busy there.

"Alright!" Following Ling'er's excited yells, the dozing Xia Sizhu was frightened into a violent shudder and immediately woke up.

Raising her drowsy eyes, Xia Sizhu blinked and blinked again. After confirming that the beautiful woman in the mirror was herself, she slowly said, "Ling'er, why are you dressing me up so beautifully?"

The woman in the mirror had a pretty face, skin as smooth as a pearl, eyes as clear and lovely as water, long eyelashes, small nose bridge, moist red lips, and a smile that gave her a spirited air.

In her memory, Xia Sizhu always loved her face and applied all kinds of rouge and cosmetic powder, making her lose everything. She made her own people lose to others, she was neither ghost nor ghost, she was ugly to the extreme, and most importantly, she actually thought that this was pretty good, going out and showing off all day long.

And the one who taught Xia Sizhu to paint like this wasn't the First Madam and the others, but Ling'er.

Ever since she had transmigrated over, Xia Sizhu had gradually started to reduce the rouge on her face. If she suddenly became beautiful, it would be hard to say for sure.

Today, Ling'er had actually removed the rouge on her face and wore only light makeup.

"Miss was originally extremely beautiful, but she did not have the ability to protect herself. Ling'er had no choice but to cover her face to prevent it from bringing disaster to Miss. Now that Miss has become stronger and can protect herself, there is no need to intentionally hide her face anymore. Miss is a pearl, not a fish eye, a pearl should have its own luster."

Ling'er looked at Xia Sizhu in the mirror with a complex and gratified expression. In order to survive, the young miss had paid far too much. Now, the young miss was in charge of half of the family's rights.

"Let's go!" If I don't leave now, I'll be late. " For a moment, Xia Sizhu didn't know how to comfort Ling'er, so she could only change the topic.

She knew that Ling'er had suffered together with the original owner, but she wasn't the original owner. Even if she inherited the original owner's memories, she didn't suffer together with the original owner.

"Miss, I'm fine, let's go!" Ling'er wiped away her tears. The hardships that she and her young mistress had experienced were all things of the past. Her life was now very good, and she no longer had to worry about anything anymore. There was also her young lady accompanying her.

When Xia Sizhu walked to the door, she was met with all sorts of gazes.

Xia Wei looked at the white-clothed female in front of him and only felt that she was very familiar. He moved toward Xia Sizhu, but he didn't dare to believe that the peerless beauty in front of him was his extremely ordinary daughter, Xia Sizhu.

"Is Sizhu you?" Aunt Liu was momentarily stunned. Although she had seen Xia Sizhu's true appearance in the Esteemed Empress' pavilion, the woman in front of her was seventy percent the same as the Xia Sizhu of that time. She was even more beautiful than the Xia Sizhu of that day.

"Aunt Liu, you don't recognize me anymore?" Seeing Aunt Liu at a loss, Xia Sizhu smiled happily.

Even the first wife was momentarily stunned. At this moment, she was already certain that she was Xia Sizhu. However, she was still unable to react.

"Didn't Aunt Liu say she was going to the palace banquet?" Xia Sizhu raised an eyebrow. She had long since guessed Aunt Liu's reaction.
