Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 66
Chapter 66
(24.1)
Although her legitimate sister was not a related by blood to her, Xi Xian was genuinely regarding her as a big sister.
And after so many things had happened, she had already forgotten about all the unhappy events of her past life. When someone was human, there would always be times when they do wrong.
Xi Xian thought that it didn’t matter, some sins could be atoned for.
Seeing that there was nothing she could do on this side, Xi Xian went back to the courtyard. There, the old matriarch told her that there was going to be another banquet to attend to a few days later.
This time, it was the empress’s birthday. It was a very extraordinary event, and in the Xi family, only the old matriarch had an imperial grant to attend, so of course they had to go to the palace to present their congratulations.
As for Xi Xian, as a noble daughter of the family, she was also allowed to enter the palace along with the old matriarch. There was just a limited amount of people that could enter the palace, but in the end, the empress was very happy to see young girls into the palace, for it was going to be lively and animated, so for this birthday an exception had been decided, allowing unmarried girls without a grant to enter the palace, to also have the opportunity to enter the palace.
Xi Xian was not willing to go, because she did not want to see the crown prince.
Most importantly, Xi Xian hoped that after her rebirth, they could stay unrelated to each other, and not have anything to do with each other.
They were originally two people from different social classes, like how the moon and the fireflies would not speak to each other. Never seeing each other in their lives would be very normal.
Xi Xian could only kneel down and bow. She straightened her spine and said, “Grandmother, Xianxian doesn’t want to go, I’ve only learned the rules for a short time, if I disturb a noble person’s eyes, it would be a bad thing for the Xi family. Please grandmother, fulfill Xianxian’s wish.”
But the old matriarch was very strict this time, she slowly shook her head and refused, “Xianxian, you are still young, you don’t understand how valuable this opportunity is.”
“Think about your brother, and your concubine mother, the fact that they can live a good life in Jiangnan, could it be that it’s all because of your father’s favor?”
“No, the one they’re relying on is you. If you prosper, they will benefit from it, but if you are disliked by the higher-ups, then your concubine mother and your little brother won’t be any different from concubine Wang and her daughter, they won’t have good opportunities nor happiness.”
Xi Xian disliked being compelled, and kept her head low in obedience, remaining silent and refusing to speak. Her concubine mother and little brother couldn’t rely on her for the rest of their lives, so she wouldn’t be moved, everyone could only rely on themselves, and if they wanted opportunities and happiness, there was no other way but to fight for it themselves.
It was the same for her, and for many others as well.
Seeing her expression, the old matriarch gently inquired: “Xianxian, in the end, what do you have in mind ? Grandmother can see that you’re always absent-minded, and that your actions are chaotic.”
Xi Xian became a little panicked, but she clenched her hands tightly from beginning to end, her palms started to turn wet with sweat, but she was still unwilling to speak.
The old matriarch pulled her up and sighed, “Your eldest sister was supposed to go, but as you know, her health is not good, so she’s really not available to go. Your other two sisters have not been trained to master the rules, so I’m afraid they’ll make a mistake, but in any case our Xi family has to bring a daughter to enter the palace. This matter really isn’t easy.”
“If you really don’t want to, grandmother will not force you.”
Hearing that her legitimate sister was originally supposed to go, but that her big sister was not willing to participate in the banquet, Xi Xian thought about the previous night, about her legitimate sister’s gentle and thoughtful appearance as she was listening to her words, so her heart immediately softened.
Thinking about how her legitimate sister would benefit, she had no other way but to lower her head and agree to go.
But tears started to fall down her cheeks like broken threads, as she turned into a small ball while kneeling down. The old matriarch could only see the top of her head, a small bunny wearing an embroidered white dress winding on the ground, with delicately embroidered pink shoes appearing at the hem of her dress.
This little girl looked pitiful like she had suffered a great grievance.
The old matriarch really couldn’t do anything about it, it was not something she could decide.
Her little granddaughter was too young, she wasn’t mature at all.
The crown prince was much older than her, he was already an adult man, with a deep mind, holding heavy power and destined to fight for the throne. His hands were stained with so much blood, he was completely different from ordinary men, and not any ordinary woman could serve him.
Her little granddaughter Xianxian and the crown prince were simply not people who could be together.
If the old matriarch had to choose herself, then she would choose the most beautiful looking, with the best body, so Xi Yao, even though she had a lot of little schemes, this kind of girl seemed to be the kind that the crown prince, that kind of man, would like.
Even if he didn’t like the girl, he wouldn’t hate her body.
But no matter what, Xi Xian shouldn’t be his choice.
The old matriarch had lived for so many years and had never seen any man who would be infatuated with a kind of girl like Xi Xian was.
