"Excuse me, are the two of you Miss Zhao, Prince Zhou?" Not far away, a little palace maid saw them, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly trotted over.

The blue palace clothes worn by this palace maid have all been washed and faded, and only an old blackened iron hairpin is pinned to her head, and her face is sallow, which is completely different from the brilliance of other palace maids that Su Huazhao saw at the palace gate just now.

The little palace maid was still young, with a pair of big watery eyes that were crystal clear, and rushed to Su Huazhao and Su Lanzhou, saluted respectfully and said: "Slave Cuilan, she is the personal maid of the queen's mother, and she has seen Zhou Gongzi and Miss Zhao." ”

Seeing Cuilan's appearance, Su Huazhao and Su Lanzhou were able to deduce what kind of life the eldest sister was living.

"Miss, son, let's go back to the palace quickly, don't let the people of the imperial concubine Niangniang see it." Seeing that the brother and sister were standing in different places, Cuilan urged in panic.

"What happens when you are seen by the people of the imperial concubine?" Su Huazhao frowned and asked.

Cuilan's eyes fluttered, obviously terrified, "The imperial concubine does not allow the queen mother and me to leave the palace, if she finds out......"

"The imperial concubine can still order the grounding of the queen?" Su Lanzhou's eyes widened, he really had a long experience when he came to Dongzhou.

Cuilan is hesitant, and she can't say clearly.

The group walked around and came to the queen's bedroom, Qifeng Palace, in fact, Qifeng Palace is not remote, and it can even be said to be the center of the harem.

The huge palace, after entering from the red gate, can be said to be empty, at first glance it is a little desolate, Qifeng Palace is more gorgeous than the cold palace, but it is as unpopular as the cold palace.

"Cuilan, are you and the eldest sister the only one in the palace?" Su Huazhao looked at it and asked with a smile.

Cuilan wanted to nod, but as if she had reacted, she shook her head violently, "And Princess An and ...... A guard. ”

Although due to the cultivation of truth, the current folk customs are open, and they no longer pay too much attention to the defense of men and women, but some basic red tape in various countries is continued, for example, a foreign man like Su Lanzhou can enter the harem because he is the queen's brother, but the guards are not allowed.

In other words, the harem is only accessible to men like the emperor, relatives of the emperor, and eunuchs.

Then why is there a guard in the eldest sister's palace?

Su Huazhao suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, during her time in Nanhe, it seemed that many things had happened in Dongzhou and even the Kyushu Continent, but everyone chose to hide it from her...... The death of his childhood playmate Jiang Panwan, the eldest sister who favored the sixth palace was treated so coldly, and how did Xiao Wei get so seriously injured.

"Childe, Miss, you wait here for a while, and the slave will go to tell the mother that you are here." Cuilan took Su Huazhao and Su Lanzhou to the main hall, and she trotted out all the way.

"Zhaozhao, I'll see the eldest sister for a while......" Su Lanzhou raised his eyes and looked at the old extravagant palace, which was now dilapidated, and the beams of the house were all dusty and unattended, he said in a tone that was rare and kind: "In addition to asking her about entering Penglai Academy, if you can help anything else, let's help too, after all, we are a fellow mother." ”

Then, Su Lanzhou rubbed his chin and muttered: "Meng Fanyu's reckless man will be healed in a few days, and he will protect Xiao Wei at that time, so let's take our hearts and blood back later." ”

"I received news this morning that Zhou Yu has traveled most of the time, and only has a small time in Penglai Academy, and to enter Penglai Academy, you must be at least fifteen years old, under twenty years old, and Xuanjie cultivation." Su Huazhao said leisurely, her voice echoing in the empty main hall.

Su Lanzhou gasped, and the fox-like Danfeng eyes were self-deprecating, "Then didn't I just touch the threshold." ”

People who are born with spiritual roots naturally focus on cultivating spiritual energy, supplemented by true qi. I didn't expect that his two brushes on Xiuzhen were so inadequate.

Su Huazhao held his chin and smiled harmlessly, "It is said that entering Penglai Academy will be screened by competition, I think, you should take advantage of the past few days to practice more, and don't be beaten too badly by then." ”

"The world's No. 1 organ master" Lan Zhou Gongzi was beaten in the ring in Dongzhou and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, if this matter spread, a young man like Su Lanzhou who was arrogant and arrogant probably would not have the face to survive.

"No wonder Meng Fanyu went directly to the Nanyang Palace, this is really a troublesome errand." Su Lanzhou sighed, but he didn't take the entrance exam of Penglai Academy to heart, he just shook his fan and said: "The national teacher also divined that Xiao Wei had a death calamity this year, I think this is his calamity?" It's ours. ”

Su Huazhao didn't speak, she felt that the old man of the national teacher still had two brushes for fortune telling.

"Ah Zhao, Lan Zhou, you are here." There was a sound of footsteps at the door of the main hall, and I saw a woman in a plain skirt walking towards her, the woman's national color was fragrant, graceful and noble, even if the palace clothes on her body were worn and wrinkled, it did not affect her temperament.

What's even more peculiar is that the hand exposed in the woman's left sleeve is actually carved from mutton fat jade.

For a while, it was like returning to the time when I was in the Su family.

Su Huazhao and Su Lanzhou stood up in unison, and saluted the eldest sister respectfully, compared to Su Lanzhou, Su Huazhao and the eldest sister were more familiar, she saw that the eldest sister was in rags, but she didn't show a surprised look, she only smiled and said: "Eldest sister, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

It's only been three years, but it's like a lifetime.

Su Huaan looked at the little girl who was quite well-behaved and cowering in the past, and she grew into the graceful appearance she is now, and said with a smile: "Yes, you have all grown up." She folded her collar and sat down at the top of the main hall, and when she looked closely, she saw that her graceful eyes were blue and black, obviously not resting.

"Eldest sister, where's my little niece?" Su Lanzhou was just serious when he saluted, and it didn't last long before his original form was revealed, and he inquired about Princess Anhe.

Hua An frowned slightly, then looked as usual, and said with a smile: "At this point, the child is asleep at noon." ”

Su Huazhao has been observing Hua'an, from the expression on his face to the hem of his skirt, he vaguely revealed his ankles without white socks, pursed his lips, and sighed: "Eldest sister still loves Yuexi as always." ”

It is said that Hua'an and Dongzhou Emperor Zhou Rui are also a bad fate, when Hua'an met Zhou Rui when he traveled, a young girl and a talented woman, love at first sight, private life, the eldest sister concealed that everyone was pregnant, and gave birth to An and Princess Zhou Yuexi, this matter was later known by the Su family, they were furious, and tied the eldest sister back to the Central Empire.

Because the eldest sister was born with spiritual roots and had excellent cultivation talents, the Su family did not drive the eldest sister out of the house, but only imprisoned her.

But Hua'an has always been obsessed with Lang Jun and her daughter, until three years ago, she chose the most tragic way, abolished the spiritual root, cut off one of her arms, and became an abandoned son on the chessboard.

The Su family's original way of dealing with Hua'an was to nominally expel him from the house, but in fact, after Hua'an left the border of the Central Empire, he was assassinated immediately, and the Su family, a century-old family, did not want to bear the charge of cruelty, and did not allow an heir to disgrace the Su family.

Fortunately, Zhou Rui brought a few secret guards with high cultivation and responded to Hua'an in time, so that the killers sent by the Su family did not succeed.

Now that I think about it, Dongzhou's so-called masters against the people of the Su family are tantamount to using their arms as a car, and it should not be Zhou Rui's secret guard who saved the eldest sister on the spot, but Zhou Rui's brother Zhou Yu, Su Huazhao carefully tipped through the context of the events of the year.

Hua An looked at his younger siblings sitting at the bottom, did not talk about his own situation, and asked generously: "Ah Zhao, Lan Zhou, you came to Dongzhou this time, but do you have something important to deal with?" ”

"Yes, eldest sister, do you have a way for us to enter Penglai Academy?" Su Lanzhou got straight to the point.

Penglai Academy?

Hua An was a little surprised, when she left the Su family, Su Lanzhou and Su Huazhao were still young, at that time, the two of them were the most inconspicuous of the Su family's generation.

After Su Lanzhou and Su Hua became famous, Hua'an was imprisoned in the deep palace again, and the news was closed, and he knew nothing about the outside world.

Therefore, Hua'an didn't know the current situation of Su Lanzhou and Su Huazhao, and only thought that they had also become the outcasts of the Su family, and had to leave their hometowns to study in Dongzhou, which was despised by the Central Empire.

The son-in-law and daughter-in-law of the dignified Su family head of the family, how did she fall to this?
