If not abolished

Chapter 123 Lemon Sister 2 is back

Hu Shanxiang had just finished breakfast when Wu Cheng came over.

"Your Majesty, this is the letter that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to give you." Wu Cheng took out the letter from his sleeve.

Lingzhi took it and gave it to Hu Shanxiang. To be honest, Hu Shanxiang was not used to this name at first and was a little overwhelmed when she heard it. Later, except Lingzhi, everyone else including her parents called her that, and she gradually got used to it.

"Bring some tea to Eunuch Wu." Seeing that Wu Cheng was not ready to leave after delivering the things, Hu Shanxiang thought that he was waiting for her reply.

There was nothing special in the letter, just everyday words. Hu Shanxiang walked to the desk, picked up a pen and thought for a long time before she thought of what she wanted to write.

Sure enough, Wu Cheng left happily as soon as he received the letter.

Hu Shanxiang was bored staying in the room, so she went to Mrs. Hu's place to chat and relieve her boredom.

When I arrived, I found someone there. When I went in, it turned out to be my second sister, Hu Shanji. How come I hadn't heard any news about my second sister coming back?

"Why are you here?"

"I came here because I was bored in my room." Hu Shanxiang explained. "I didn't hear when my second sister came back."

"Oh, Shanji just came back not long ago, and he was busy with the affairs of their mansion. Speaking of which, good things have been happening at home recently. Your second brother-in-law has performed well in his position and was transferred to the capital last month. So Shanji was busy with the affairs at home and only had time to come and pay his respects today." Mrs. Hu explained to her daughter.

"So that's how it is. In that case, we should also congratulate my sister and brother-in-law." Hu Shanxiang was happy for them when she heard this. Although her second sister was sometimes that way, her wife was still a good person.

"Thank you very much, and congratulations to my sister. I didn't expect that she would become the Crown Prince's Consort." Hu Shanji also congratulated.

"Happy together."

"It's all good news. It will be even better if you have another child next year. Especially Shanji, you couldn't adapt to the climate there before, so now you're back, take care of your body. If it's inconvenient for you, ask your mother to invite someone to your home. Now that you're back, no one will say anything if you come home from time to time."

"Yes, everything is arranged by mother."

Hu Shanxiang felt that her second sister had become much gentler and it seemed that she had experienced a lot over the years.

The two chatted with Mrs. Hu for a while, and then went back. Before leaving, Mrs. Hu stopped them and said, "By the way, it's rare that all of you sisters are here together. Shanwei will also be back tomorrow. Your father asked you sisters to get together. You sisters can have lunch together at noon tomorrow."

"Okay." The two agreed.

As they walked side by side, Hu Shanji suddenly spoke up, "Sister is about to get married, I'm afraid you don't want to eat at the same table with your sisters anymore, right?"

"Second sister, you are so weird. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Are you going to slander me as soon as we meet? I just agreed to mother without hesitation. How did you know that I don't want to eat at the same table with my sisters?" Hu Shanxiang was speechless. Okay, she would take back what she said just now. Second sister is still the same second sister. It turns out that her gentle appearance just now was all an illusion. Her true colors were revealed behind the scenes.

Hu Shanxiang didn't want to talk to her anymore and affect her mood, so she was about to leave quickly.

"Why are you walking so fast, sister? Could it be that you are furious because someone said something to your true feelings?" Hu Shanji said from behind.

"Sister, you misunderstood. I just had to go to the bathroom urgently, so I left first."

"Girl, why does the second girl speak so harshly? How can she speak like that?" Lingzhi stood up for her.

"My second sister has always been like this. I thought she had made some progress in the past few years, but it seems that she hasn't made any progress at all."

"Girl, should we teach the second girl a lesson?"

"If this is a lesson, then people will know that we sisters are not getting along. It won't sound good if it gets out. Well, luckily you are the only one who heard it just now. Don't tell anyone about it, so as not to cause trouble."

Fortunately, Hu Shanxiang only took Lingzhi out with her.

"The girl is too tolerant of her."

"Well, we don't know how many times we can see each other in the future. Don't worry about it." Hu Shanxiang actually knew why Hu Shanji said such harsh words today. "Second sister has no ill intentions. She is just angry. She has always wanted to prove that she is better than the legitimate daughter since she was a child, but she can't compare with the eldest sister. I was not in good health before, and she was always better than me. She was really good before, and this time it's even better. Second brother-in-law is so ambitious and has become an official in the capital at a young age. She wanted to show off, but she didn't expect to hear about my wedding before she could show off at home. Suddenly, she is a big step behind. No one would be convinced. So I understand her. Besides, she is also very cute. From now on, there will be no more sisters who are so jealous."

"The girl actually thinks the second girl is cute." Lingzhi didn't understand at all, how could she still think she was cute.

"Okay, don't think about it. Speaking of gatherings, before entering the palace, you should also ask Sister He to come to your house to play. Otherwise, after entering the palace, you don't know when you can see each other again."

"Girl, you can make an appointment with Miss He at any time."

On the other side, Hu Shanji stayed at home today, so he returned to Aunt Liu's yard.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Why are you still unhappy after paying your respects to the madam? What's wrong?" Aunt Liu asked, seeing that her daughter's face did not look very good.

"Madam didn't say anything at first, but then my third sister suddenly came over. Madam told my third sister about my difficulty getting pregnant in front of her. Now my third sister is going to laugh at me."

"You're overthinking it. The Third Miss has never been the kind of person who talks too much." Aunt Liu also knew that her daughter had been very sensitive about the child's affairs in the past two years.

"I... Mom, you have to help me. My parents-in-law will be here in a few days. They were far away before and couldn't say anything. But now I will see them every day and my life will be difficult." Hu Shanji was very anxious about this matter. Although her husband kept saying that it might be their destiny and there was no need to rush, how could she not be anxious... What if she really had some problems?

"Okay, okay, mom is also helping you find a miracle doctor for this. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, or you'll be even less likely to get pregnant. Let's keep a calm mind and see what the doctor says when the time comes." Aunt Liu has also been helping her daughter find medical treatment and medicine during this time.

"By the way, mother, the lady said that we sisters should get together tomorrow."

"Then you can take your sister with you when the time comes."

"Ah."

"Remember not to quarrel with the Third Young Lady. If the palace finds out, we will be in big trouble. Do you hear me?" Aunt Liu knew her daughter's temper and was afraid that she would say something unpleasant, so she specifically reminded her.

"Mother, this is just a joke between sisters. Does that mean my third sister will go to the palace to complain?"

"The Third Miss's status is different now, so you have to be more careful no matter what you do."

"Okay, I got it. I won't talk to her. I'll just talk to my other sisters." Hu Shanji didn't want to listen to his mother's nagging anymore, so he agreed immediately.

Really, she was so jealous when she thought about her third sister becoming the Crown Prince's Consort. Why was it always like this? She finally got to the top, and then she turned around and found that she was already in a higher position. Now it's even more incredible, she can't surpass her no matter what. It's like the two of them are destined to clash, it's really annoying.

Wu Cheng returned to the palace and immediately handed the letter to Zhu Zhanji, who was waiting for him.

"Go to the main hall." Zhu Zhanji said after reading the letter.

"Yes." Wu Cheng didn't know why His Highness suddenly wanted to go to the main courtyard to do something, but he naturally had no right to ask what his master wanted to do and could only follow.

"Agui, why are you here?"

"Greetings to mother. I have something I would like to ask for your help." Zhu Zhanji pleaded.

"Why are you being so polite? Just tell me what you want to say."

"My son had trouble sleeping before, and I vaguely remember you asked someone to prepare a pillow for him to sleep well."

"It seems to be the case. Why do you still want one? I'll have someone make one for you." The Crown Princess thought it was a big deal.

"I do want to ask my mother for another one, but not for me."

"I'm afraid it's for my future daughter-in-law?" the Crown Princess teased.

"Mother, I know it but I don't say it. I'm just worried that Shanxiang won't be able to sleep well at home. Besides, she's always nervous and I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep. I came to ask you for one."

"Okay, even though I can't give it to you right now, I'll have someone send it over tomorrow."

"Thank you, mother."

"Why are you being so polite?"

The next morning, the Crown Princess had someone deliver the things, and Zhu Zhanji immediately asked Wu Cheng to deliver them.

So early in the morning, Hu Shanxiang saw someone coming to the palace again.

"Eunuch Wu, please sit down and eat something, please." Hu Shanxiang greeted him.

"Your Highness is too polite. It is our duty to serve His Highness." Wu Cheng took out something and said, "This is specially prepared for Your Highness by His Highness the Crown Prince."

"This is..." Hu Shanxiang opened it and saw that it was a pillow. She was a little confused.

Then he saw another piece of paper. When he opened it, Zhu Zhanji wrote on it: I heard you say that you can't sleep well at night, and I know you don't like to use fragrance in the room. Fortunately, I had the same problem before, and my mother asked someone to make a sleeping pillow for me. I used it very well, so I specially asked my mother for another one. You can try it and see if it works.

After reading it, Hu Shanxiang finally reacted and smiled at the pillow.

"Your Highness is really something. He even went to ask the Crown Princess for it. I'm afraid the Crown Princess will laugh at him."

"Your Highness always puts the Queen's affairs first, so why would he be afraid of making a fool of himself? I have delivered the things, so I will leave first."

"Eunuch Wu, wait a moment." Hu Shanxiang put down her things and went to the room to get something out. "It is a courtesy to exchange gifts. Please pass this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Eunuch Wu, thank His Royal Highness for me."

"Yes, I will definitely bring it to you."

"Girl, this pillow..." Lingzhi asked.

"Now that it's been sent to you, let's try it out and see how it works."
