Chapter 172: Shame

Regarding the lantern festival, the older elders generally glance at the flowers, and then choose to go to the banquet first to chat with friends, and most of the young people naturally prefer to play. So after coming in, they generally go separately, and it is rare to have a Lantern Festival party, so that the children can have fun by themselves.

After the father and daughter separated, Han Jiangxue didn't have to entertain the elders as she did before, but in addition to Luo Qi'er, who had already taken her arm and walked with her, she ran into a few noble girls who knew each other one after another. Fortunately, at such a time, everyone usually follows the best companion to play, so there is no need for any special greeting, just nod and signal.

Seeing Han Jiangxue, many people's eyes revealed an indescribable surprise and complexity, maybe in the past year, Han Jiangxue has brought them too many surprises and shocks, so the surprise is amazing, but the mentality is as if they are used to it, and gradually there is no incredible feeling.

"Sister Han, do you see it? I said that tonight's people are definitely the most dazzling in the entire palace banquet! Luo Qi'er said proudly, and from time to time she gestured to Han Jiangxue with her eyes to look at the amazement and subconscious envy and even jealousy that naturally revealed in the eyes of those noble girls.

"Okay, little girl, it's your sweetest mouth, everyone is looking at the lights, it's not as exaggerated as you say." Han Jiangxue smiled and motioned to Luo Qi'er: "If you continue to boast all the way like this, I will become the target of public criticism." ”

In front of Luo Qi'er, Han Jiangxue didn't have to beat around the bush to speak. The little girl is really temperamental, but unfortunately she is still too simple, and she doesn't understand the sinister nature of this person's heart. I thought it wasn't a few months later. Luo Qi'er was about to enter the most complicated and unpredictable harem in the world, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and at the same time, she couldn't help but worry about her future fate.

A woman with a heart like Luo Qi'er is not suitable for that kind of place at all, of course, once she really enters, she will grow up even if she is forced, but the price she has to pay is the truth and purity that can never be recovered.

Heard Han Jiangxue's words. Only then did Luo Qi'er realize that her words and actions just now were inappropriate, and she quickly covered her mouth, looking like she had forgotten again. Looks a little annoyed.

"I'm sorry Sister Han, I almost got you in trouble." She looked a little helpless subconsciously: "These days, my mother and several aunts have taught me from time to time, asking me to talk and do things for a longer time. They all said it was not good. Now that I think about it, it will not only harm myself, but also affect the people around me. ”

Hearing Luo Qi'er's words, Han Jiangxue naturally understood why the Luo family taught like this, it seems that the Luo family has already decided to let Luo Qi'er enter the palace, and Luo Qi'er herself must know about it. Otherwise, it would not be possible to suddenly become depressed.

"Luo'er, are you okay?" Time. She didn't know what to say, that is, she couldn't break anything in public. So naturally, I couldn't comfort myself, so I had to ask with my conscience, and I instantly felt that I had never been hypocritical.

Luo Qi'er naturally didn't know what Han Jiangxue was thinking at the moment, and soon looked like she had something important to say, and first pulled Han Jiangxue to a corner where there were fewer people, and then said: "Han Jiangxue, there were too many people at the banquet a few days ago, and it was inconvenient for me to tell you some things." I'm afraid that we will have fewer opportunities to meet in the future, because soon I will participate in this year's palace election. We have only one daughter of the right age in the Luo family, so the possibility of losing the election is basically none. ”

Luo Qi'er's expression became more and more gloomy, seeing that Han Jiangxue seemed to be uncomfortable as if she didn't know what to say, she quickly shook her head and said: "Sister Han, you don't have to comfort me for anything, I have already thought about these things, as the daughter of the Luo family, I have been pampered for so many years, and I have been favored by the Luo family, and now it is time to repay the Luo family." My father, mother, and brothers are reluctant to let me go, as long as I don't nod my head, they will never force me, and they will try their best to block my life from entering the palace. But I know that some things are too involved, if I only care about myself, it will affect the entire Luo family, because the Luo family only has a daughter like me. ”

Although the holy decree of the palace election has not yet been officially promulgated, the three kings and the four families all have enough news channels to inquire about these things that are closely related to their own families, Luo Qi'er only knows about the palace election, but she does not know that the age has been adjusted, so she will naturally exclude Han Jiangxue from the scope of the palace selection.

These words are completely different from what Luo Qi'er should have said in Han Jiangxue's impression, but the truth is so cruel. Han Jiangxue understands that the Luo family is not like the Zhang family, the Luo family is really a school-age daughter like Luo Qi'er, and the Zhang family In addition to Zhang Wanru, the direct family can also find many other candidates who are qualified to be selected.

Everyone can see the emperor's purpose of resetting the draft this time, and the open confrontation will only bring his family to the forefront of danger earlier and become the first nail to be pulled out by the emperor.

Although Luo Qier is simple, she is not stupid, she has grown up in such a family all the year round, how can she really not understand the implication and major impact. The children of the family have understood and followed a similar rule since childhood, receiving the grace of the family, enjoying all kinds of superior life provided by the family, and at the same time having to bear the obligation to make sacrifices for the family at any time, especially daughters, marriage is often based on the premise of family interests, and there are really not many people who can get rid of this way of living.

"Qi'er, maybe it's okay to think about other ways to do it?" Han Jiangxue was a little unbearable, after the first time she met and met, Luo Qier never had any concealment in front of her, and regarded her as a good friend who had nothing to say, but she subconsciously had reservations about this little girl, which made her have an indescribable sense of guilt in front of Luo Qier.

"No need, although I can't help the Luo family when I enter the palace, if I don't enter, it will immediately bring a lot of trouble to the Luo family." Luo Qi'er tried hard to adjust her depressed mood, and even pulled a smile at Han Jiangxue and said: "Sister Han, I just can't bear you, after all, entering the palace is no better than being at home, and you can meet from time to time if you want to meet." ”

"Qi'er......" Han Jiangxue couldn't bear to look at Luo Qi'er's smile that was not much better than crying, and that smile was as uncomfortable as a knife cutting her heart: "Actually, if there are any actual reasons why you can't be selected, then you will be brushed down during the primary election." For example, if there is a special condition in your body, you can't be touched, and you will laugh when you touch it. In this case, you will not be able to serve the emperor no matter what. ”

Han Jiangxue had seen some strange things, and this special physique had been recorded above, and her heart was soft, and she still couldn't bear to be buried in the palace forever like this. It's a pity that such a youthful life succumbs to an old man who is enough to be his father, and has to face the countless crises of the harem.

Hearing Han Jiangxue's words, Luo Qier's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, which was moving, relieved, and at the same time, it was also the happiness of having this best friend, and dying without regrets.

"Thank you, Sister Han!" She sniffed, but her smile was bright and warm: "My brother has also proposed this idea of yours, but I have made up my mind, as the daughter of the Luo family, the responsibility that should be taken on cannot be escaped casually." But Han Jiangxue's kindness to Qi'er, Qi'er will always remember it in her heart! I also told my family that in the future, if Sister Han needs help with anything, I hope the Luo family can do their best. ”

Looking at Luo Qi'er in front of her, Han Jiangxue didn't know what else she could say, she felt that her eyes were a little wet, and she had an indescribable sadness in her heart. Since she was reborn for so long, it was the first time she was so uncomfortable for someone other than her relatives, especially the last sentence of this girl's heartfelt thanks made her inexplicably uncomfortable. This stupid girl, who has to face such a helpless fate but still thinks so much about her, really makes her even more ashamed.

But whether she wants to or not, Luo Qi'er is still moving towards the same fate in her previous life little by little, and she can't change Qi'er's fate as desperately as she changes the fate of her own family. Because everyone has their own shoulders, she is not qualified to deprive Qi'er of the right to repay the Luo family with her own body.

"Sister Han, don't be sad, no matter where I am in the future, I will take good care of myself. And it's not like we'll never see each other again, you'll always be my best friend, no matter what city you're in! Luo Qi'er had already cleaned up her previous low mood, and began to comfort Han Jiangxue instead.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a familiar and incredible voice not far away, saying extremely loudly: "My God, I didn't see dazzling eyes, did I?" Han Jiangxue, it's really Han Jiangxue! ”

Disturbed by this voice, Han Jiangxue and Luo Qi'er quickly raised their eyes and looked over, only to see Li Xingming running towards them with an incredible face, and turned back to the group that fell behind him as he spoke: "Do you all recognize it?" It's really Jiang Xue, I said I didn't see dazzling eyes! ”

The group of people walking behind Li Xingming were all known to Han Jiangxue, Li Xinghua, the prince of Prince Zhuang's mansion, Sheng Yunhang, the little marquis of Xirong's mansion, and even Zhang Haocheng, who let the dog bite Li Xingming that day. (To be continued......)
