Chapter 27

We were escorted into the meeting room. Both sides still struggling trying to attack each other.

As we sat down things started to cool down. The maids serve some tea and First Brother open the conversation, "I want to know what happened."

Immediately 3rd Princess said, "It wasn't my fault I was just reminding her to respect her elders."

"Shut Up" screamed the 2nd Princess, "Firstly, she is your sister not your maid. Second she has a higher standing position if you admit it or not. I only accompanied you and your brother and sister because you were our sister and brother even though your mother tried killing mine. We even begged father to allow you to remain in your position. But if you still act this way than what's the point of being so graceful!"

This is when I found out that the action of the second princess was affected by their influence.

"Apologies right now." said First Sister. They didn't apologies so they were then given an edict that they will be demoted into Royal Prince and Royal Princesses. After hearing this they were begging for mercy before getting pulled out from the room.

"My apologies for acting that way" the 2nd princess and 2nd Prince said.

Even though we had hard feelings we reconciled with each other. For some reason we ended up in this temple again.

***

"We are all here to our ancestors to be blessed in our sisterhood and brotherhood and to be join by two new individuals." said First Sister

With this we kowtow 3 times and spread the wine. "Then we shall proceed with the greetings" said First Sister handmaid.

*The order now is this;

First Sister Shira

Second Brother Shen

Third Brother Yi

Fourth Sister Shuang

Fifth Sister Wei

Sixth Sister Qi

Seven Sister Xuan*

Since we became brother and sister we decide to pay respect to Mother Empress, Mother and Shifu. As we took the carriage towards the Empress palace, 5th sister told us how hard it was for her to survive especially since she and 3rd brother aren't from the late Empress making people the the would want the throne from # 1st sister and 2nd brother. 1st Sister also apologies that she wasn't sure if they wanted throne or not. She also didn't know how close their mothers were until last time.

The conversation than shifted to 4th Sister, "I was born into the Yue family, my father passed away in a war while my mother is sisters with Shifu. So when mother passed away from childbirth Shifu took me in as her own child. I thought that everyone in the palace and House Moon were someone that I couldn't trust. The only people I could trust is Shifu, Late Empress Mother and Empress Mother. Both Empress Mother took càre of me since I was a child. I didn't show my feelings since the death of Late Empress Mother. I was 2 when she died, that was the age of 3 for 2nd brother. I'm sorry."

We then spent the rest of the journey in silence..
