"Back to Niangniang, the Xiao family has been an official for generations, and his father is the youngest son in the family, he doesn't like to be a businessman, he prefers to do business, his grandfather doesn't allow it, and his father insists on going his own way, and he left home to settle down in Shuiyun County.

Xiao Junwan said calmly, Concubine Shu knows everything about the Qu family, but she doesn't know much about the Xiao family, and Concubine Shu seems to believe this statement.

"Your Majesty has arrivedβ€”"

The concubines got up, and Xiao Junwan retreated to the side of the hall to salute with the concubines.

"Get up."

Concubine Shu Guifei helped Emperor Taihong to sit down in the palace, and Emperor Taihong saw the person at a glance and asked, "You are Xiao Junjuan?" ”

Xiao Junwan went to the hall to bow down and salute: "People's daughter Xiao Junjuan, see Your Majesty." ”

"Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I sent someone to pick you up in Sui'an, and you left your hometown, do you have resentment in your heart?"

Xiao Junwan bowed his head and said respectfully: "How dare the people's daughters." ”

Concubine Shu raised her lips: "Such a good thing as entering the palace, which woman would not be happy, this great grace, she thanked His Majesty for being too late, how could she be resentful." ”

"Miss Xiao is knowledgeable, she has come thousands of miles, and when she enters the palace for the first time, she can still be calm and calm in front of the concubine and His Majesty, which is by no means beyond the reach of ordinary women." Concubine Hui said with a smile.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu have always been incompatible, and the more Concubine Shu wants to push Xiao Junwan out, the more Concubine Hui will have to oppose her.

"Sister Hui just saw her this time, can you still see that she is not an idle person?"

"My sister heard that Princess Jiarou likes this girl very much, how many people are there who the princess can see? After all, the princess didn't even pay attention to her sister-in-law. Concubine Hui said, glanced at Su Shengxue, covered her mouth and laughed.

Concubine Shu didn't pay attention to Concubine Hui, and asked Xiao Junwan again: "This palace asks you, if Your Majesty does not allow your marriage this time, what will you do?" ”

"If you are at home, the marriage is also ordered by your parents, and the words of the matchmaker are not up to the people themselves, but now that they are in the palace, the people will naturally obey Your Majesty's will."

Xiao Junwan had expected that Concubine Shu would not gladly accept her, Concubine Shu was born in a family and had a prominent family background, so how could she tolerate a folk woman in her eyes.

"Father, mother, according to the sons, this girl's qualifications are mediocre, and she is from the people, how can she be worthy of the prince." Su Shengxue said bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but secretly observe Xiao Junwan's expression, and she was calm and calm from beginning to end, and she was not happy or worried about it.

Concubine Shu echoed: "Your Majesty, although Shengxue's words are more direct, they are not unreasonable. ”

Concubine Hui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Junjuan's arrival in Sui'an is a matter that the people of Sui'an can see, and she is summoned to the palace today, if she is sent back again, the people are afraid that they will speculate and damage Your Majesty's heavenly prestige." ”

Concubine Yi, who has always been silent and not good at words, also said: "It's better to let her live in the palace for the time being, and then Your Majesty will decide on the marriage." ”

Emperor Taihong has always been a person without opinions, but whenever others make the stakes clear, he will naturally agree, and because of this, Xiao Junwan is also worried that Emperor Taihong will be persuaded by his father.

Emperor Taihong allowed Xiao Junwan to stay in the palace, and the accommodation arranged for her by Concubine Shu was perfunctory in the eyes of everyone, but in Xiao Junhuan's opinion, there was no better place in the Qi Palace than the Jingsi Palace.

The vermilion lacquer on the door of meditation has fallen a lot, the dilapidated house is still the same, in summer, the weeds in the corner of the courtyard are deep, and the cicadas on the trees have broken the silence of the deep courtyard, which is annoying.

Xiao Junwan stepped in step by step, and she recognized that the person who was immersed in laundry in front of the door was the palace maid Xiao Lian.

Xiao Lian's palace clothes were old, and she made up for it, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat beads on her forehead, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Xiao Junwan who was coming, got up and asked, "Who is the girl?" ”

"This is Miss Xiao, Concubine Xiao's niece, Your Majesty just took the girl into the palace, and she will live in this meditation palace with Concubine Xiao in the future."

Xiao Lian was surprised: "Niangniang's niece? ”

"Send the girl here, I should go back, the girl lives in peace, although His Majesty has revoked the ban in this palace, but the girl has just arrived, it is better to stay here and go out less."

Xiao Junwan bowed his head lightly: "Yes." ”

"Master." Little Mercy shouted into the room.

Xiao Junwan approached slowly, and as soon as she walked to the door, she raised her eyes and saw the person coming out of the door, this person was thin and weak, and her face was haggard, this was her aunt, Concubine Xiao, and now she has become an aunt.

"You are?"

"My aunt shouldn't know me." Xiao Jun said, stepped forward and helped Concubine Xiao into the house.

When her mother got married, she brought her little sister Concubine Xiao to Sui An, and Concubine Xiao was favored by Emperor Taihong and included in the harem. Concubine Xiao left early, knew very little about her hometown, and had not seen her brothers for many years, when Concubine Xiao asked who her father was, Xiao Junwan casually said an uncle, and mentioned some things about her mother that she had said about her childhood, and won Concubine Xiao's trust.

"Good boy, why did you come to the palace, you shouldn't have come to this place." Concubine Xiao said, wiping away her tears.

"Auntie, the Qu family is destroyed, the Xiao family is overturned, if I don't come, who can give the Qu and Xiao families justice."

Concubine Xiao took Xiao Junjuan's hand and patted it gently: "Junjuan, life in the palace is not as simple as you think, my aunt entered the palace at the age of seventeen, and now, she has not ended up like this." ”

"Auntie, where is my sister?"

"Enjoy the ......" As soon as Concubine Xiao mentioned it, she closed her eyes deeply and choked up.

Xiao Lian said: "That day, Sister Rong'er took the second miss to play in the yard, and then Sister Rong'er was knocked unconscious, the second miss was gone, the second miss was lost, Your Majesty wanted to ask the guilty Jingsi Palace, Sister Rong'er took everything, was taken away by the people in the inner house, and never came back. ”

"It's me who I'm sorry for my sister, the joy is gone, the joy is gone, and I'm the only one left to live in the world." Concubine Xiao looked in a trance and said in a daze.

Tears fell, Xiao Junwan hugged Concubine Xiao: "Aunt still has me." ”

Just like on the day when the whole family died, Concubine Xiao also hugged her and said, "I still have my aunt." ”

"Miss......"

Ziying and Hongling looked at the scene inside, and were stunned in front of the door with their luggage.

Xiao Junwan let go of Concubine Xiao and said to Concubine Xiao: "Auntie, these are my two friends. He turned back to Ziying and Hongling and said, "This is my aunt, Xiao Niangniang." ”

"Xiao Niangniang is good." Ziying and Hongling owe decently.

Concubine Xiao burst into tears, wiped away her tears and said, "Okay, don't salute in the future, I'm like this, where is my mother." ”

"Miss Junwan is here, and she has brought two sisters, and our Jingsi Palace will be lively in the future." Xiao Lian said with a smile.

Xiao Junwan and Hongling Ziying cleaned the inside and outside of the Jingsi Palace together, removed the weeds in the yard, and made it clean and tidy.

Xiao Lian said that it was not that she didn't want to clean, but that Concubine Xiao didn't let her touch every grass and tree in this courtyard, and everything in the Jingsi Palace still retained the appearance of the way they came in two years ago.

Xiao Junwan looked around at the clean courtyard, she came back, removing the weeds here only means a new beginning, and it will be the end when the weeds in Sui An City are cleaned up.
