Guan Xin Yun glanced at Guan Xiu Yun with deep meaning, and then turned her face to Guan Jun Yun: “Are you two going to the palace tomorrow?”

　　“The Empress Dowager has decreed that my brother and sister-in-law will go with us. All the civil and military officials in the court are also going, who knows what for.” Guan Xiuyun placed the exhausted tea on one side: “I just heard that recently the Emperor was very annoyed over the border unrest, and talked to someone saying that in order to turn the conflict into peace, there was an intention for the Princess to make peace with the Fans. This matter, brother can hear about it?”

　　“I have not been in the capital for a long time, how do these things know.” Guan Xin Yun bottom of the heart rose a trace of coldness, to this moment she has not thought of the person sitting in front of her is her own sister: “On the contrary, you, day after day in the palace naturally know more than us.”

　　Guan Xiuyun pursed her lips and smiled, “It's not that my brother is so suspicious of me, otherwise I would have grown up at home.” She paused for a moment, “I'm afraid the one who will be chosen will be Kyun-er.”

　　Whenever Guan Junyun heard this kind of gossip, she was always in a state of ecstasy, never involving herself in such matters. But Guan Xiuyun's words brought back her deliberately distant thoughts, “How does sister know?”

　　“It's not surprising that all the women of the royal family have to take this step.” Guan Xiuyun smiled with an unconcerned look on her face, “If that's the case, you'll be the first concubine of the Southern King. In the future, not to mention you, even your brother and sister-in-law will have to bow to you. This is a rare honor.”

　　“Who did you hear this from?” Guan Xin Yun raised one eyebrow, “Zhuge Chen?”

　　“Second brother!” Guan Xiuyun blushed, “Look at what you're saying!”

　　The first time Guan Junyun heard this name from her second brother's mouth, it was filled with contempt. The look he gave Guan Cuiyun was also strange, “I'm just being honest, unless it's Zhuge Chen, no one can presume to harbor holy intentions to such an extent. In fact, even who is and Fan can predict, in the end is the hundred officials of the head of the prime minister. If it were a second person, he would have to be punished.”

　　“I'm staying in the palace, how can I see these related and unrelated people.” Guan Xiuyun's face turned from red to purple, almost identical to the robe she was wearing.

　　“Since you can't see them, how can you know who the people of Wafan are? And how do you know exactly what you're going to the palace for tomorrow?” Guan Xin Yun put down the tea in her hand, “Cui Yun, you are a girl. You're a girl, and the Empress Dowager's daughter, so I can't say anything about you at any time. In my heart, you are my sister. I can't say anything bad about your parents' early death, but I can't help it. The girl's family in the end to have the girl's family's honor, shouldn't know things can't be inquisitive. This is the rule, in the palace so many sisters are taught. You can get the Empress Dowager's pleasure, all kinds of rules are naturally familiar with the heart. There's no need for me to say more, you'll know it.”

　　“Yes, what brother said. Originally, I was rude.” Guan Xiuyun had never been reprimanded with a stern face before, and was a bit unable to sit still. Getting up, she smoothed out the corners of her skirt and stood to the side.

　　Guan Junyun had already lost her color by the words that perhaps she and Fan had spoken, and when she saw Guan Xiuyun rise, she also followed suit and hung her head low to keep quiet.

　　“Kyun-er, you have to go to the palace in the morning. Go back to your room early and rest, don't miss the time.” Guan Xin Yun's heart was filled with impatience, how could she not be bullied if she was always like this.

　　“Yes.” Guan Junyun agreed and retreated. Qi Qian stood outside the door for a long time and heard the conversation inside. Although she didn't know what wafan meant, she knew it wasn't a good thing when she saw Guan Junyun's disoriented appearance, “Miss, what's going on here?”

　　“Nothing, let's go back.” Guan Junyun shook her head and returned to her embroidery room with a single step.

　　“Miss, getting up so early?” Qi Qian pushed open the door and saw Guan Junyun sitting in front of her dressing table, combing her hair without a word: “It's still early, why don't you get some more sleep?”

　　“It's been raining outside all night, I couldn't sleep.” Guan Junyun never understood why she was the chosen one, “You don't get up earlier than everyone every day.”

　　“Look at what Miss said, slave girl and Xian'er are both considered blessed. To be able to follow by the side of Miss, growing up together as children. Sisters and grandmothers in the mansion all say that my slave girl is much more fortunate than Miss Eldest's Qi Juan. When Qijuan encounters Missy's temperament, she can't even avoid it.” As she spoke, she picked up a comb and brushed Guan Junyun's hair, “According to the slave girl, Miss is just too good-natured. No matter what she encounters, she always gives herself a hard time.”

　　“Do you go and get angry with others?” Guan Junyun looked at her reflection in the copper guide, the difference in age between the two was only a year or two. But after getting along for a long time, it was just like their own hands, somewhat dissolved.

　　Qi Qian wanted to say something, worrying about being overheard. Vigilantly looking around, before lowering her voice: “The slave girl heard that last night after the eldest young lady returned to her room from the flower hall, she cried for most of the night.”

　　“Cried what?” Guan Junyun smiled bitterly, if she was to cry, she should have been the one crying all night. Who doesn't know that Guan Cuiyun is the Empress Dowager's favorite daughter, as long as the Empress Dowager gives the order, she is the Prime Minister's wife. With Zhuge Chen, she should be a divine couple made in heaven, compared to the barren land she will be going to, it is simply heaven and earth.

　　“The slave girl doesn't know, I just heard that the general said some heavy words about the eldest miss. After the young lady returned to her room, Missy sat in the flower hall for some time.” Whenever Guan Xiuyun's business was mentioned, Qi Qi would be twelve times more careful, fearing that Guan Xiuyun would suddenly come in at some point.

　　“Second Brother won't say anything about her.” Guan Junyun lowered her head and fiddled with the rouge box at her hand, her nose sour. Probably no one would ever protect her like this again.

　　“Hyun-er, you're up late again.” Guan Xiuyun stood in the doorway, as beautiful and dazzling as ever. Guan Junyun looked at her reflection in the mirror, still bright and shining after half a night of crying.

　　“Just fine.” Guan Junyun hadn't wanted to insert and wear any jewelry, and since she knew it would be a dusty return, she might as well just go in clean. Soon no one would remember that there was another Guan Jun Hyun.

　　Qi Qian still put on a silver walking stick for her, holding a soft green waist dress over: “Miss, is this okay?”

　　“Quite good.” Guan Xiuyun was dressed in a consort-red palace dress with gold trim, compared to her attire, this long skirt was really too simple, but she knew that no matter how she dressed up, it was just to reflect her existence. It was better to let her continue to shine.

　　Guan Xiuyun looked at her sister, who was dressed in a simple and plain outfit to the extreme, and suddenly came out with a sentence, “Hyun-er, you've always had a grudge against me, haven't you?”

　　“What do I resent about my sister?” Guan Junyun was in the middle of tying up the luan tapestry when she heard these words and her hand stopped for a moment.

　　“That's for you to ask yourself.” Guan Xiuyun pursed her lips and smiled, “That I don't know.”

　　Guan Junyun didn't say anything, but just sat on the brocade pier and let Qiqian put on her embroidered shoes that fit.
