Chapter 38: Chaoyun Palace

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone was carrying the joy of the New Year, and the happiest was An Xiruo.

Since she arrived at the White Tiger Camp, she has never spent the New Year with her sister again, and today, her dream for many years is finally coming true.

As soon as noon passed, all the teams of the White Tiger Battalion ended their day's training ahead of schedule, because preparations for the palace banquet began.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was crowded, and the people from the White Tiger Camp and the Red Fox Camp were all going to strengthen the security of the palace, so they also had to go early to prepare.

Before leaving, everyone can go back to the dormitory to clean up and be ready to show up in the palace.

Pushing open the door, An Xiruo found the box lying on the bed, and there was still a note left on it.

The unfolded note is a vigorous and powerful line, with a few words written in a sprinkled manner: You can dress up tonight. There is no byline and no clues are left.

If An Xi hadn't seen this word, he couldn't guess who it was, so he simply put the note aside and went to open the box.

The box is very ordinary, and it can even be regarded as very inconspicuous, such a box will make people not have any hope for what is inside.

But the moment An Xiruo really lifted the lid, she couldn't believe her eyes.

Inside is a red gold embroidered cotton dress, the skirt is embroidered with small white plums, and the cuffs and neckline have gold moire.

An Xiruo was hesitating whether to wear such a dress to enter the palace when he heard a quick knock on the door, accompanied by Meng Qi's voice.

"Miss An, quickly change your clothes, we have to go first."

Meng Qi's words are what Phantom Tong meant, and An Xiruo also guessed the origin of this skirt, knowing that it was Phantom Tong's arrangement, An Xiruo no longer had any worries.

Within half a pillar of incense, the door was pushed open, and An Xiruo appeared in front of Meng Qi in full costume.

"You, you are, you're Miss An!" Meng Qi pointed at An Xiruo and pointed for a long time before he held back this sentence.

"Didn't you say in a hurry?" An Xiruo didn't want to pay attention to the stunned Meng Qi, and hurriedly passed by Meng Qi.

Meng Qi remembered the matter at this time, and hurriedly caught up with An Xiruo, "Yes, yes, yes, we have to hurry." ”

Sitting in the carriage, An Xiruo didn't see the Huantong he imagined, and Meng Qi didn't have the slightest idea of waiting for someone, and when An Xiruo got into the car, he asked the horseman to set off.

Along the way, An Xiruo sat in the car, while Meng Qi leaned there, closing his eyes and eyes, without the slightest intention of explaining anything to An Xiruo.

In the end, An Xiruo couldn't hold back first, and pushed Meng Qi, who was napping in front of him.

"Meng Qi, Meng Qi, what are you and Situ Huantong going to do?"

Meng Qi opened his eyes, stretched, and then looked at An Xiruo with some disgust: "Don't you just want you to have a good New Year with your sister, why are you so stupid." ”

An Xiruo grinned awkwardly at Meng Qi, "These are all arranged by him, why didn't he tell me, and he made it mysterious." ”

"Tell you? The boss wants to do good deeds without leaving a name, and I am afraid that he will suffer a loss, so I came to mention you. ”

Meng Qi yawned, tilted his head again, and continued to sleep.

An Xiruo looked down at the dress on her body, and couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, sweet but sour, and there was a trace of bitterness in the sourness.

"So, you finally admit that you like me when I dare not love you" murmured in a low voice, full of loss.

And the Anxi people's self-talk happened to be heard by Meng Qi, who was half asleep, and he thought about telling the boss, but he was left in his sleep.

That knot in my heart is just like that, and I missed the opportunity to be untied again.

The carriage stopped, Meng Qi opened his eyes instantly, lifted the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage with dexterity.

"Miss An, I'll send you here."

An Xiruo was not a delicate lady, so she naturally didn't need help when she got off the carriage, so she easily stood on the ground, and then found that she was taken to a side gate of the palace.

Turning his head, he saw that Meng Qi was talking to a palace maid, and the palace maid was full of displeasure.

An Xiruo got closer and realized that the palace maid was none other than Xia Zhu, the personal maid beside Teng Ziyan.

At this time, in the Chaoyun Hall of Yukun Palace, the eldest princess Teng Ziyan was drinking a pot of lotus heart tea with Huantong, Teng Zirui and Yilian were making a mess in the courtyard, Xiao Shufei was sitting next to her and kept saying "Be careful, be careful", and a few plum blossoms in the corner also quietly bloomed.

"Xia Zhu should have already received Miss An, my brother can rest assured." Teng Ziyan held a handkerchief, covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes crooked, like a crescent moon.

"Don't make fun of my brother, why haven't I seen him for so many years, and I'm getting more and more unbehaved." Phantom Tong pretended to be angry and glared at Ah Yan.

Teng Ziyan didn't stop, but laughed hard, causing a burst of shock from Phantom Tong.

"I helped you, I don't know how to thank me, and beat me. You don't know what I hated most about An Xiruo before, but I broke the vow for you.

Teng Ziyan's hand pressed on the place where his head was knocked, and he looked at Phantom Tong with a sad look.

"That's when you misunderstood her." Phantom Tong didn't verbally comfort Ah Yan, but just patted her little head gently.

Speaking of misunderstandings, Teng Ziyan suddenly looked at Huantong very seriously and asked, "Brother, when are you going to tell An Xiruo that the destruction of the An Ling clan was done by Meihuawei." ”

Phantom Tong looked up at the ceiling and exhaled, "It's not time yet." ”

"Then you can't bear to see her treat her enemy as a benefactor, so she has been kept in the dark."

Teng Ziyan was suddenly a little excited, and her voice suddenly raised a lot.

"Ah Yan, I know that you are very kind, and of course I can't bear to let Xiaoxi be deceived by Queen Li. But Ayan, the queen mother's revenge has not yet been avenged, and we can't act rashly to startle the snake. ”

Teng Ziyan could see Phantom Tong's self-blame and helplessness, looking at the high palace wall outside the window, and deeply knew that under the shackles of the palace, there was no such thing as perfection, only constant weighing.

"It's over, let's all go, me, Yilian and An Xiruo, if Concubine Xiao is willing, take Zirui away." The palace is terrible, not at all suitable for life. ”

"Okay, listen to you."

"What, what, brother, what are you talking to the princess sister."

Yilian came in from outside the house rubbing her hands together, her mouth still stained with the residue of pastry.

"Here's this, hold it and cover your hands."

Teng Ziyan handed the enamel hand stove in her arms, Yi Lian took the hand stove and showed eight small white teeth towards Teng Ziyan.

"Thank you, Sister Princess."

Looking at the little girl in front of her, the two dimples seemed to be hiding honey, and Teng Ziyan also felt happy.

Although she has replaced herself and become her brother's sister over the years, she also accompanies her brother so that he will not be too lonely.

Thinking of this, Teng Ziyan suddenly felt that she owed Yilian a word of thanks.

"Thank you, Lian'er."

Yilian listened to Teng Ziyan's thanks, and was a little scratchy, but Huantong understood what Ayan meant, and said goodbye to Teng Ziyan before Yilian opened her mouth to ask.

"Eldest princess, it is not appropriate for the Weichen brothers and sisters to stay here for a long time, say goodbye, and we will see you at dinner."

didn't wait for Yilian to say goodbye, Huantong directly pulled her out of Yukun Palace.

"Don't ask anything, I'll tell you when the time comes."

Yilian's stomach was all blocked by Huantong's words, flattened her mouth, and said very unhappily: "I know, I know." ”

Before Phantom Tong could comfort Yilian, the two of them were attracted by the noise not far away.
