It is night, the capital is still a hustle and bustle, shops are lined up, the crowd is endless, only a few places, has restored the quiet that the night should be, for example, Jingping Street in the north of the city is one of them, Jingping Street is empty on the wide and flat avenue, it will take a long time before occasionally a team of people and horses walk quietly, on both sides of the road, all are luxurious and solemn deep palace compounds, The name on almost every plaque in front of the door is frighteningly large--- almost every official above the third rank in the court lives here, and the Xiao Mansion, which commanded Xiao Long, is also located on this street.

At this time, Xiao Yanyun had just followed her father Xiao Long back to the Xiao Mansion, behind them, Xiao Tianmu, who was beaten to a coma, was still carried by several Xiao Mansion family members, moaning twice from time to time, but Xiao Long's face was not the slightest worry, on the contrary, Xiao Long's face was blooming with a bright smile that Xiao Yanyun had never seen for several years, in her image, the last time her father showed this kind of smile was four years ago, the day he was promoted to the commander of the capital.

After Xiao Long came back, he rushed to the inner courtyard as soon as possible, as if he wanted to tell his wife the good news, and hurriedly looked like a child who had won a certificate, after all, if there was no mistake in this matter, his Xiao family would have an extremely hard backer in the court in the future, and not only would his power skyrocket, but he would also become a national ruler in the future!

This kind of great good thing, you let him hold it in his heart and not say it, it is really a bit embarrassing.

Unlike her father's overjoy, Xiao Yanyun looked numb and sluggish, she almost blanked her head and sent her brother into the room, and then did not go back to the embroidery building in her backyard, just sat on the chair in the front hall in a daze, staring at the velvet blanket on the ground with a pair of beautiful eyes, wandering out of the world.

I have to say that what happened today is too incredible for Xiao Yanyun, a girl who has just turned sixteen, for her, today is definitely the most thrilling day in her life, and it is also the day with the greatest variables, she never thought that just a whim to follow her brother out to negotiate would actually change her life.

And when she thought that she would be sent to the palace in a few days and become that person's concubine, Xiao Yanyun had a mixed feeling in her heart, including loss, grievance, and confusion... There is also a little pride and expectation.

"Concubine... It's just a concubine, yes, someone is a prince, and being a concubine for him is already my high climbing... ”

"Daddy was so happy, but he didn't even ask me how I felt, well... And my sister's... ”

"Fortunately, in the palace in the future, I can have my sister and me as my companion."

"Is it that after entering the palace, I will never be able to go back to this home? I can't go outside to play, I can't see my father and brother... ”

"But then again, that guy is really good-looking... It's just a weird temper, after entering the palace, will he beat me? ”

I saw Xiao Yanyun sitting there alone muttering with a sluggish face, and then her face was full of hope for a while, and she wanted to cry for a while, mysteriously, and scared the maid on the side enough, and thought that her young lady had suffered some blow outside and was crazy, so she couldn't wait to hide away.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and Xiao Long walked out from behind the wall in the hall, followed by a middle-aged woman in a gorgeous robe, who was his wife Zhang, who was also the biological mother of the three brothers and sisters of the Xiao family.

"Xiaohuan, go and ask the eldest lady to come over!"

The husband and wife both looked beaming, and when they saw Xiao Yanyun sitting in the hall, they didn't bother, they just thought that their daughter was too happy and couldn't adapt to it for a while, so they turned to the maid standing on the side and gave an order, and then sat on the main seat, drinking tea and talking.

After a while, I saw a beautiful woman in a white dress coming in from outside the door, this woman was clean without makeup, without makeup powder, her face was seven points similar to Xiao Yanyun, but because of her age, she was more charming and charming, especially a pair of willow eyebrows inclined into the sideburns, one side can be unforgettable, and the figure is a little hotter than Xiao Yanyun, but the difference from her appearance is that her expression and demeanor are gentle and elegant, and she is generous, but it looks completely different from Xiao Yanyun's temperament, and she is really a peerless beauty.

This girl is Xiao Yanyun's biological sister Xiao Yanyi.

"Yan Yi greets her father and mother."

As soon as Xiao Yanyi came in, she saluted her parents respectfully, her movements and demeanor were very in place, and she had a unique style of being a lady.

"Yan Yi, get up."

Seeing his eldest daughter come in, Xiao Long said with a smile, asked the other party to sit down, and then took a sip of tea, and then said, "Yan Yi, my father called you over today because I have something to discuss with you." ”

"Daddy, please speak."

Hearing this, Xiao Yanyi's face was blank, but her heart jumped suddenly.

When she entered the door just now, she had already found that her sister's expression was wrong, she was clear about her sister's temperament, unless it was a big deal, she rarely showed such a look, and she didn't even reflect much when she came in at this moment, and she immediately had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, before the conjecture in Xiao Yanyi's heart took shape, she heard Xiao Long speak: "Earlier today, I prepared a family business for your father. ”

It's still coming.

Xiao Yanyi sighed in her heart.

In recent years, as she grew older, Xiao Long continued to look for relatives for her, for this matter, her father almost searched for her half of the court, what is the son of the prince of the country to supervise the wine, the son of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, the youngest son of Zhan Shao Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, and even the illegitimate son of Lord Liu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, were all taken by Xiao Long to say goodbye to Xiao Yanyi, and the beautiful name was that the woman should marry, and she was anxious about her Xiao Yanyi's marriage, but Xiao Yanyi understood that Xiao Long did this, but in fact, it was to consolidate his political status, Thanks to Xiao Yanyi's repeated tricks in this process, she was lucky to escape again and again, otherwise she might have been reduced to a wife and locked in a completely strange compound now.

On the other hand, this Xiao Long is indeed pitiful, although he is down-to-earth and hard-working, with a talent for experience, with his own ability was valued by the prime minister Yang Gong at that time, and finally climbed to the position of the commander, but in this capital officialdom is like an alternative, as if he is alone, without any circle background, especially after the old prime minister died of illness, this situation is even more serious, to put it seriously, even during the New Year's holiday, there is no official above the fourth grade in the door of his house has ever stepped in.

And even so, he has never had much ambition, never participated in officialdom battles, and he is satisfied to be able to do a good job of commanding the envoy steadily, but he doesn't mess with others, but others will tease him, his good life has not been a year old, and Yin Jian was transferred to his deputy, this Yin Jian has two brothers, one is Yin Ce, the left inspector of the Imperial Inspectorate of the Dynasty, and the other is Yin Ke, who is the secretary of the household department of the dynasty, in addition, there is a sister who is a concubine in the palace, plus a prince's nephew, There are countless friends in the DPRK and China, and their power is not small!

Since the first day of the fight, this Yin Jian came to the capital to command the envoy, and he Xiao Long was not on the right path, he was in opposition to everything, he had to fight for all rights, he spoke with thorns, and he was very arrogant, almost telling him Xiao Long: 'Lao Tzu is here to grab your position.' ’

Thanks to Xiao Long's hard work in the past few years, people can't catch the slightest handle, which didn't make Yin Jian succeed, but even so, he is still struggling in the officialdom of the capital, otherwise he wouldn't have to be reduced to the point of marrying his daughter to the homes of those third- and fourth-grade officials!

Xiao Yanyi, who has been sensible since childhood, naturally knows her father's difficulties, but although she has a gentle temperament and is knowledgeable, she has never been able to accept that her marriage is controlled by others. So much so that she has been endlessly reduced to such pain.

"The daughter obeys her father's wishes."

The next moment, I heard Xiao Yanyi nodding and saying, but I thought in my heart: This time I can't say that I have to make my father lose again.

It's just that Xiao Long's next sentence broke her wishes.

I only heard Xiao Long laugh twice and said, "Okay! Good! Your sisters will start to prepare now, and you will enter the palace draft with me on the eleventh day! Madame, we have to prepare well these days... ”
