Daughter Raiders

Chapter 269 Fragmentation
In the capital city in May, it has already entered summer.Hongxia hurried all the way back to Huawuyuan, with sweat on her forehead, she was relieved when she entered the main room and saw her girl was only Qiyue, and took out a letter from her bosom, her face pale. Handed it to Tao Ran with some redness, "Xu Lin asked me to bring it in for the girl."

Xu Lin is Suxue's elder brother and Hongxia's fiancé.Because he was working as a concierge, when Mu Huan had a letter, he would send a suitable person to Xu Lin, and then Xu Lin would hand it over to Hongxia or Suxue for Tao Ran to bring in.

But Tao Ran and Mu Huan's marriage has not been formally settled for a day, and such a thing as sending a letter is considered a private exchange.Hongxia was extremely entangled along the way, afraid that someone would see what she was hiding in her bosom, but fortunately, it was hot in the afternoon, so she didn't meet anyone on the road.

"Sister Hongxia, hurry up and wash your face." Tao Ran took the letter with a smile, and told Hongxia while cutting open the letter with small silver scissors.

Seeing this, Qiyue retreated silently behind Hongxia, leaving only Tao Ran leaning on the big kang by the window, taking out the letter paper and looking at it slowly.

When the six Khalkha tribes formed an alliance, they were caught off guard by the Mu's army, and the alliance was delayed for a long time.It has been a year and a half now, and they did not stop the Khalkhas. Just last month, they had already elected a Khan, and they may attack the border of Liaodong at any time.

In Mu Huan's letter, he briefly explained these things to Tao Ran, and then the topic changed: Xiao Tao, wait for me, I will try to make another great contribution as soon as possible, not asking for promotion and fortune, but asking the Holy Majesty to give you and me Give marriage.

Tao Ran blushed holding the letter paper and laughed.

Counting her correspondence with Mu Huan is not too small, this guy never speaks sweet words, and now this short sentence in this letter is much more pleasant than those sweet words... just because Tao Ran understands that Mu Fu Even if he and the Su family are in the same family, it is normal for a man to marry a woman, but Mu Huan also asked the Holy One to grant a marriage, because he wanted to build momentum for her before she even entered the door.

Recalling that when he knew the news of Yanran's death, he told her in the letter that if you are well, it will be sunny. She only felt that every corner of her heart was full, filled with something called happiness and sweetness.

At this time, Hongxia's voice could be heard outside the door: "Miss Si is here, Miss Si, come in, our girl just woke up."

Tao Ran hastily folded the letter and stuffed it under the Kang table, An Ran also entered the room.Seeing that there seemed to be tears in the corners of the fourth elder sister's eyes, Tao Ran suddenly remembered that in the previous life, the fourth elder sister seemed to be summoned into the palace by the queen's decree half a month later. The princes of similar age all made marriage arrangements after that day...

"What's wrong with the fourth sister?" Tao Ran got off the kang and took An Ran's arm, his face was full of concern.

The queen's edict has not yet been issued, so she can only pretend to be ignorant.

An Ran heard her question and didn't speak, but raised her head slightly, clearly trying to hold back her tears.But there was still a teardrop slowly slipping from the corner of her eye, dripping down her cheek to her chest, and then slowly sinking into her veil, never to be seen again.

Tao Ran sighed silently.If it was possible, she also wanted to stop the fourth sister from going back to the old way of her previous life. Although the seventh prince was as noble as he wanted, he was so short-lived. The fourth sister did it without even having a biological child. Widow, how do you live like this!
But Tao Ran turned around and remembered the marriage of his second sister, Xi Ran, and the marriage of Third Brother Mo.The people these two people are going to marry are different from the previous life. If they put a little effort into it, maybe the fate of the fourth sister can also be changed?

"I don't want to marry into the royal family, Sister Tao, please give me some advice!" An Ran's pretended calmness finally shattered when she saw that there was no one else in the room, and tears one after another quickly formed a string. .

It turns out that An Ran did know in advance that she was on the royal list to select concubines for the princes?That's right, that's right, the eldest aunt must have been afraid that it would not be safe for An Ran to enter the palace, so she told An Ran early...

"Fourth sister, don't cry, let's sit down and talk." Tao Ran took An Ran to the kang, sat down across the kang table, and handed her a clean veil to wipe her face.

Tao Ran was also very worried about An Ran, but he didn't know where to start to persuade and help each other. When he was in a hurry, his heart moved, and he immediately remembered why the fourth sister in the previous life had alienated her.

It turns out that the fourth sister likes Yin Chudong, the fifth cousin of the Yin family?At that time, she just had a few more words with Yin Chudong who was a guest in Su Mansion, An Ran flirted with her when she found out, but that time was different from usual, no matter how good Tao Ran was with her, it was useless!

It seems that she is all to blame for this matter, it's because she didn't care enough about the fourth sister, she couldn't find out the reason early, so she couldn't help An Ran early; now it's only half a month before An Ran enters the palace according to the order , Even if the window paper is punctured, and the Yin family also has this intention, half a month is enough to do!

Besides, even if half a month is long enough for the two families to exchange Geng Tie with a tacit understanding, where does this leave the Empress?The current An Ran has long been a piece of meat placed on the royal chopping board, there is no room for outsiders to reach out casually!
And An Ran undoubtedly understands this truth better than Tao Ran.

You must know that although the Queen's order has not yet been issued, the list of people who will enter the palace for an audience has already been prepared for additions and deletions.The eldest sister Wanran is the queen's natal nephew and daughter-in-law. She knew the news as early as the first lunar month, and even revealed a little bit to her mother so that she could prepare for her early.

If the mother didn't want her to marry into the royal family, she should have started a few months earlier, so why wait until today!

It's just that she is not reconciled!She and cousin Chu Dong are in love with each other, but are they going to be separated so abruptly by the royal family?

She also thought that as long as she didn't want to marry any prince, she would make a fool of herself in the palace, pretending to be ignorant of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and court etiquette; If it goes against the will, it will become disrespectful, just say that the Su family can't afford to lose this face, can't they!
"Or I'll just get sick?" An Ran said after crying enough, wiping the tears off her face viciously.

But then I remembered that Yanran was also on the list, but she was removed because of reporting illness. If she was also ill, it would not work at all. Come.

"Fourth sister, can you stop crying? You're crying so much that I'm so anxious that I can't think of anything!" Tao Ran was so anxious that his little face was wrinkled, and his heart was also in a mess.

"If I don't cry, you can come up with an idea?" An Ran said with tears on her face, full of hope: "Then help me think about it, I won't cry!"

Tao Ran had no choice but to smile bitterly: "I have to think about it slowly, and I'm not sure. It's just that you know, fourth sister, crying can't solve the problem."

Don't say that Yanran is dead, even if she is still alive, her sharp and bitter face will not be able to enter the eyes of the empress of the harem.Although An Ran has long been known in the lady circle for her sharp tongue, she has a sister who is the queen's nephew and daughter-in-law. The queen's understanding of her is not superficial...

It seems that this is an unsolvable problem!Tao Ran thought to himself in disappointment.
