There was a hotpot in the center of the table because it was the winter. There were also some fruits such as mandarins.
The maids peeled the mandarins and served them to their mistresses.
Chen Ya'er turned around and smiled at Ling Rui'er. "Elder Sister Ling, why isn't Second Miss Ling here today? I heard that Her Majesty dotes on her the most. I heard that she treats Second Miss Ling even better than First Miss Ling?"
"Her Majesty, my aunt, naturally dotes on my elder sister more than First Sister. How could First Sister's character and beauty compare to my elder sister's? My aunt has always liked my elder sister since she was young. I went to the palace to visit my aunt with my elder sisters some time ago. My aunt even gave my eldest sister and a pair of really exquisite earrings. Only my sister received earrings and a pair of jade bangles." Ling Rui'er glanced at Mo Xuetong with satisfaction.
