"I am here to pay my respects to my sister." Xia Caisi looked at the tightly shut door and spoke with a faint smile.

"The Crown Princess isn't awake yet. Please wait for a moment, Princess. This servant will speak to the Crown Princess right away." Hong Xiang said as she looked at Xia Caisi.

"Go! I'll wait. " Xia Caisi was not annoyed at all, she had a look of "I can wait" on her.

"Crown Princess, you are awake. The secondary wife is waiting for you at the door." Xia Caixi woke up at the same time Hong Xiang walked in the door.

"Where's Big Brother Li?" Xia Caixi did not answer Hong Xiang's question. The moment she opened her mouth, she immediately asked where Dongfang Li had gone to.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has gone to court." Hong Xiang said truthfully.

"Help me with my makeup." Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Xia Caixi's eyes. She had originally thought that when she opened her eyes, the first thing she would see was Dongfang Li, but the first thing she did not see was Hong Xiang.

"Alright, let the side concubine in!" Xia Caixi looked at herself in the mirror and said.

"Side concubine, the crown prince's consort will let the side concubine in." Hong Xiang received an order, go and invite Xia Caisi in.

Hearing this, Xia Caisi shook her aching legs and calmly walked into the room.

"Big sister, little sister pays her respects to you." As soon as Xia Caisi entered, she paid her respects.

"Little sister, why do our sisters care about these empty gifts?" Xia Caixi immediately supported Xia Caisi, who was about to bow.

"Elder sister is so nice." Xia Caisi originally did not intend to pay her respects. She only wanted Xia Caixi to say something that she did not want to bow to.

"Judging from my sister's complexion, she must have slept very well last night." Xia Caisi said as she looked at Xia Caixi, whose eyes were filled with happiness.

"Of course not!" It was better if Xia Caisi didn't say anything. Just mentioning Xia Caixi caused her entire body to ache, and she couldn't help but rub her aching waist.

Seeing Xia Caixi's actions, Xia Caisi's eyes flashed with a cold light before returning to normal.

"Yesterday, Big Brother Li, you made me feel a bit uncomfortable." Seeing Xia Caisi staring at him, Xia Caixiu's face revealed a hint of shyness.

"Sister is joking. His Highness the crown prince is naturally good. This is the first time I've been unable to get out of bed for a few days." Xia Caisi suddenly said as she looked at Xia Caixi.

In an instant, the sweetness on Xia Caixi's face vanished, her face turning pale.

This was the first time she gave it to Big Brother Li, but the first time was not for herself, but for her little sister. This was always a thorn in Xia Caixi's heart.

Now that she was mentioned by Xia Caisi, Xia Caixi could only feel a stabbing pain in her heart.

Seeing Xia Caixi's expression, Xia Caisi's eyes flashed with glee.

Even if elder sister doesn't want to admit it, His Highness gave me my first time, and mine also gave His Highness my first time.

"What are you talking about?" Just at this moment, Dongfang Li walked in from the door and looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

"Greetings, Your Highness. I pay my respects to my sister. We didn't talk much." Hearing this, Xia Caisi stood up and greeted Dongfang Li.

"Chenqie …" Just as Xia Caixi was about to stand up and bow, she was pushed down by Dongfang Li.

"You were tired last night, so there's no need to bow." Dong Fang Li said gently.

"Didn't Your Highness go to the court?" Why are you back? " Xia Caixi looked at the suddenly appeared Dongfang Li in surprise as she spoke.

"They'll be back soon." Dong Fang Li spoke very naturally.

"Have you had breakfast?" Dong Fang Li said as she looked at the sky.

"Nope." Xia Caixi shook her head, looking gently at Dongfang Li.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat." After saying that, Dongfang Li held Xia Caixi's hand and walked towards the door.

"Your Highness, you have a younger sister!" Xia Caixi had been watching Xia Caisi the whole time, and seeing that Xia Caisi did not show any dissatisfaction, she could not help but relax a little.

"Then let's go together!" Dongfang Li looked at Xia Caisi, who hadn't spoken since he entered, and said very casually.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xia Caisi's face was calm, but her heart was indignant.

The moment they entered the door, His Highness didn't even glance in her direction, just kept looking at her. She and her sister were both His Highness' women.

His Highness only cared about his sister, but didn't know that she was beside him. How could she feel comfortable in her heart?

However, now was not the time to turn hostile. Xia Caisi tried her best to suppress the displeasure in her heart.

While they were eating, Dongfang Li helped Xia Caixi with the food. She didn't even spare a glance for Xia Caisi, who was trying her best to act as though she didn't care.

She could pretend that she didn't care, but she couldn't hide the feeling in her heart.

Xia Caisi quickly finished her breakfast and left. She would rather not see and see than think.

"Aunt Liu, what are you doing?" Xia Sizhu, who was walking, couldn't help but ask when she saw Aunt Liu leave the room with her account book.

"I'm going out to collect profits from all the shops this month." Currently, Aunt Liu's stomach was slightly protruding.

"It's enough for the servants to go and collect these. Why would Aunt go out herself?" Xia Sizhu looked at Aunt Liu and raised an eyebrow.

"I'm afraid that the servants will collude with the shopkeeper to get more money, so I want to collect my own accounts this month." A sharp look flashed across Aunt Liu's eyes as she spoke.

All these years, the first wife had been in control of the Prime Minister's family's money. Although she had openly taken over, the first wife had her trusted aides.

She would be easily deceived if she did not see it for herself.

"Then I'll go with you!" Xia Si Zhu thought for a moment before replying.

Aunt Liu had a big belly, so she wasn't too at ease. It wouldn't be good if she hurt her child, and she was also afraid that she wouldn't be able to suppress those disloyal servants.

"Then let's go together! My carriage is ready. " Aunt Liu smiled when she heard this. With one more person to help her, she didn't mind if there was one more person to help her.

On the noisy street, a carriage slowly moved forward. Xia Sizhu lifted the curtain of the carriage to look at the surrounding lively atmosphere. She was in quite a good mood, however.

Aunt Liu looked at Xia Sizhu's slightly raised lips and lowered her head to rub her stomach. She also smiled.

"Selling candied fruits!" Sugar gourd! It's a sweet and sour candied fruit! " The sound of candied fruits being sold came from outside the carriage.

"Wait, I want to get off the carriage." Aunt Liu suddenly spoke up.

"Whew ~ ~" The coachman immediately stopped the carriage.

As soon as the carriage came to a halt, Aunt Liu came out of the carriage and walked directly to the person selling the candied fruits.

"Aunt Liu, where are you going?" Xia Sizhu only saw Aunt Liu get down from the carriage but didn't see her go anywhere.

A carriage stopped next to Xia Sizhu's carriage.

"Miss, look and see if that's that slut Xia Sizhu!" The wet nurse lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Xia Sizhu, who was standing not far away, as she spoke.
