Your Majesty, the Empress Runs Again

"Empress, your two sisters have handed over the tablet to enter the palace, saying that they miss you and want to talk about old times with you." Just as Shen Xin was deep in thought, a palace maid, who was serving in the Outer Palace, sent him a message.

"The Empress has an order to meet the two misses!" Receiving Shen Xin's imperial decree, the palace maid summoned Shen Yan and Shen He into the palace.

"My daughter Shen Yan, my daughter Shen He greets the Empress, the Empress is blessed." Shen Yan and Shen He had their heads down the entire time, and directly kowtowed to Shen Xin the moment they entered the palace.

"There is no need for the two sisters to be so courteous. "Sit!" Regarding Shen Yan and Shen He's arrival, Shen Xin felt that it was within expectations. They wouldn't give up easily if they didn't get what they wanted. She was curious as to what in the world could make two people that they rarely interacted with form an alliance with.

"Thank you, Empress!" Shen Yan's movements were relatively quick, and very quickly, she sat down on a seat closest to Shen Xin. Shen He was not vexed over having been beaten to the punch. Instead, he obediently sat on a seat a little further away.

"Big sister, third sister and I haven't seen you for a long time. We're really thinking too hard. You don't blame your sister for coming uninvited, do you? " Compared to Shen He's lack of presence, Shen Yan appeared to be more charming, and not long after she sat down, she stood up and grabbed Shen Xin's hand without letting go.

Shen Xin was a little confused. She had never known herself to be so close to her second younger sister. Furthermore, Shen Yan Ren was a well-behaved girl in front of him. He wasn't used to suddenly changing his appearance. In the past, when Shen Yan saw him, she would appear respectful on the surface with disdain in her eyes. But this time, Shen Xin clearly felt that Shen Yan was not hiding anything. The greed and scheming in the bottom of her eyes was about to surge out.

"Why would I blame you? My two sisters were able to come visit me. Second sister, hurry up and sit down! " Being grabbed painfully by Shen Yan, Shen Xin quietly got rid of his red hands.

"Empress, Father told Second Sister and I to give this to you." Compared to Shen Yan's haughtiness, Shen He's progress was steady, and he was more gentle and respectful. She did not immediately give the thing in her hand to Shen Xin but rather passed it to the big palace maid Qingxu, who was by his side.

"My two younger sisters, this is a new pastry prepared by the royal kitchen. It's crisp and soft. Would you like to try it?" Shen Xin pointed to the pastries on the table, his eyes curved with satisfaction, obviously satisfied with the pastries made in the royal kitchen.

"Thank you for the reward, esteemed wangfei." Upon hearing that it was made from the imperial kitchens, Shen Yan and Shen He's eyes revealed a look of envy, looking at the pastries on the table with heated gazes. Other than the emperor and the empress dowager, not everyone in the imperial kitchens had access to pastries. Many imperial concubines had the honor of being able to eat pastries once in a lifetime.

"I was bored to be left alone. It was all thanks to my two sisters accompanying me that I didn't feel so lonely." In any case, he had nothing better to do, so Shen Xin was in a good mood after eating some food and was happy to deal with Shen Yan.

"Elder sister, please don't joke with me. The entire capital knows that elder sister is the most favored one. If the emperor had anything good, he would have given this elder sister a copy. How could elder sister be lonely?" Hearing Shen Xin's words, Shen Yan revealed a look of despise. Even a three year old child would know how much of a Holy Pet this big sister of hers had.

Humph! Why? In terms of looks, she was not the least bit inferior to Shen Xin. In terms of reputation, she was also good to that shameless girl Shen Xin.
