  Thank you for the reward of peace symbol from Hot Love^^...

  Upon hearing Murong's words, Qingyao immediately looked at Murong with her bright and clear eyes, which had been misty just a moment before. She said to Murong: "I'm sorry, Third Sister. I didn't know you didn't have any sisters. My previous words must have hurt your feelings. However, please don't be too sad about it. If you really envy me and Second Sister for having each other, and want a sister of your own, then if you're willing, I'd like to be your sister and close friend. What do you think?" After finishing her sentence, she looked at Murong with pure and clear eyes.

  Murong heard Qing Yao's words, and for a moment she was stunned. Looking at Qing Yao's pure and clear eyes, she felt a strange sensation in her heart. Before she could clarify this strange feeling, she found herself speaking under Qing Yao's gaze, "Sixth brother's sister is indeed a likable person, look at that little mouth, so eloquent... listening to Third Aunt, she can't help but wish she had a younger sister like Sixth Brother..."

  "From now on, San Shu will treat Yao'er as a sister." Qingyao heard Murong's words and continued in a timely manner.

  Murong heard Qingyao's words and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, saying: "Sixth brother and sister said this and it's already seen as an outsider. Sixth brother and sister married Ning Wang, and Ning Wang is our family's father's younger brother. No need to be polite, sixth brother and sister are already considered my sisters. Moreover, the relationship between sixth brother and sister and me is even closer than that of sisters, which is a relationship between sisters-in-law. Sisters may not always be together, but sisters-in-law can always be together, so why bother being deliberate about being sisters?"

  "Third Aunt is right, why didn't Ya'er think of that? Third Aunt is Ya'er's sister-in-law, and their relationship is even closer than sisters." Qingyao said excitedly to Muyongshi, her eyes shining brightly.

  Murong nodded at Qingyao with a smile.

  "Third Aunt, can I go to the Jing Wang Fu to find Third Aunt when I'm bored in the future?" Qing Yao asked Mu Rong Shi with a hopeful tone.

  "...... Of course." Murong said subconsciously, seeing Qingyao's hopeful gaze.

  "That's really great, Third Aunt. You don't know that when Qingyao first married into the household, there were many things she didn't know how to handle. Now with Third Aunt's words, if Qingyao doesn't understand something in the future, she'll come ask for your guidance, so please don't despise Qingyao." Qingyao said cutely to Murong Shi.

  Looking at Qing Yao's relieved expression, Murong couldn't help but think of the days when she had just married Long Han Yuan. At that time, she was a new bride and had just entered the imperial family, and she was confused about many things. Moreover, it coincided with the subtle relationship between Long Han Yuan and the Crown Prince, so she didn't dare to ask the Crown Princess for advice, let alone the second prince's consort.

  She had just become the imperial family's daughter-in-law. With no one to ask for advice, she didn't know how to handle many things, and on the surface, she couldn't show it at all. On many nights, she followed La Yiniang to intensively study the imperial family's etiquette. So that during the day when handling affairs, not a single mistake would be made. Although being extremely careful, in front of everyone, she had to pretend to be calm and composed.

  Just now, Qingyao's words made her think of herself when she was newly married. Her heart softened and she said to Qingyao: "Sixth sister-in-law doesn't need to say that. I am your third sister-in-law. If you have anything you don't understand, just come to the Jingwang Fu to find me. Fortunately, our two residences are close by, so it's convenient for you to come over. If there's anything you're unsure about, feel free to ask me and I'll definitely teach you everything I know."

  "Third Aunt, you're too good to Ya'er. Ya'er thanks Third Aunt first." Qingyao said happily to Murong Shi.

  "There's nothing to thank me for, I'm your third sister-in-law. Of course, I should help you out. Alright, let's not chat here anymore, our father and sixth brother are waiting for us over there. Today is the first time you and sixth brother have entered the palace to pay respects to the emperor after getting married, we can't be late, let's hurry up!"

  "Third Aunt said that, let's hurry up and go. Today is the first time Yao'er enters the palace to pay respects to Father Emperor, we can't make Father Emperor wait." Qingyao heard Murong Shi's words, blinked her beautiful big eyes at Murong Shi, and walked towards the palace gate with Murong Shi. After walking a few steps, Qingyao suddenly stopped, Murong Shi saw Qingyao suddenly stop, thinking she was nervous about meeting Ming Emperor for the first time, just about to say something, but saw Qingyao turn around and speak to Qingjin who was not far behind: "Second sister, you hurry up too! I was just chatting with Third Aunt and got so into it that I almost forgot about Second sister. You won't blame me, will you?"

  Qing Jin, who was quietly walking behind, heard Qing Yao's words and raised her head to glance at Qing Yao indifferently, but didn't say a word.

  Qing Yao saw Qing Jin's glance at her, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't bring herself to say another word.

  It was the Mu Rong clan beside her, who heard what Qing Yao said to Qing Jin. With a gentle and elegant smile on her face, she spoke to Qing Jin: "The Ning Wangfei is right, Gu Ce Fei, when you enter the palace, you must remember to follow closely behind Ben Fei and Ning Wangfei."

  "Understood!" Qing Jin replied faintly to Murong.

  Upon hearing Qing Jin's expressionless response, Murong turned around and walked towards the palace gate with a composed demeanor. Qing Yao initially wanted to say something more, but thinking of Qing Jin's extremely cold gaze just now, she ultimately didn't say anything else and followed behind Murong's footsteps.

  "Fourth Young Miss is really too much, she's clearly colluding with the princess to make things difficult for Master, has she forgotten that she and Master both came from the Anji Marquis Manor?" Yuanyang said indignantly.

  "What's with 'Fourth Miss', from now on you'll be called Princess Ning." Qing Jin corrected Yu Yan lightly.

  Upon hearing Qingjin's words, she knew that Qingjin didn't mind, and Yuanyang stopped talking, only respectfully responding to Qingjin: "The servant understands."

  "Then let's hurry up and follow them!"

  Jinghe Hall

  Qing Jin followed Mu Rong Shi, Qing Yao, Long Han Yuan and Ning Wang Long Shu into the Jinghe Hall. Emperor Ming was sitting upright in front of the imperial desk, reading a memorial, when he saw Qing Jin and others enter, Emperor Ming put down the memorial in his hand.

  "Your son Long Han Yuan (Long Shu Yuan) pays his respects to the Emperor!" Long Han Yuan and Long Shu Yuan bowed to Ming Emperor.

  At the same time, Qing Jin, Murong and Qing Yao also knelt down to pay their respects to Emperor Ming.

  "Relax!" The Emperor Ming's usual stern voice now carried a rare gentleness.

  "Thanks to the Emperor!" Upon hearing Mingdi's voice, everyone thanked him and stood up.

  "How did you two come together?" Ming Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Long Han Yuan and Long Shu Yuan.

  "As for Father Emperor's words, I, the son, happened to meet Third Imperial Brother and Third Imperial Sister at the palace gate. Upon learning that they also came to pay respects to Father Emperor, we came together." Long Shuyuan explained to Ming Emperor in a warm tone.

  The Emperor Ming heard Long Shu's words, his eyes scanned over Long Han and Long Shu, saw that they were not close, nodded, chose to believe Long Shu's words, then shifted his gaze to Murong Shi and Qing Yao behind them. Looking at Murong Shi and Qing Yao, one was dignified and elegant, the other was gentle and refined, complementing the two sons standing in front of him, Emperor Ming suddenly felt a sense of pride as a father.
