Wen Yue directly gave her hand stove to Wen Xun'er and pulled her up and down to look carefully: "Look at this little white face! Auntie got a new cloak here as a tribute from the Jiang Kingdom. It's very warm. Take it back and don't leave it."

body!"

After saying that, someone brought the cloak. The cloak was wrapped around her body. It was made of mink fur and was extremely warm. It warmed her hands that had been freezing all the way!

Although I knew that Concubine Yue loved her niece very much, I didn't expect that this love would almost surpass that of mother and daughter!

She was flattered and responded: "Thank you, aunt!"

Concubine Yue looked at her: "Why are we still separated after not seeing each other for several months? Sit down quickly!"

The three of them chatted for a while. Concubine Yue was a standard beauty. Speaking of it, Wen Xun'er's face looked a bit like her, but Concubine Yue's face was more beautiful. She was charming but not coquettish. She had three qualities of her own.

With such a charming personality, it’s no wonder that she has been favored for more than ten years after entering the palace!

"I have already heard about what happened yesterday. As long as Xun'er is fine, it will be fine. As for those gossips outside, let's see if Auntie doesn't tear their mouths apart!"

Mrs. Xu sighed: "The problem now is not outside, but at home! Your brother heard the rumors outside and insisted on marrying Xun'er to Xiao Jiwei. You also know that your brother's temper is so stubborn that ten cows can't bear it.

I can't hold it back, if Xun'er marries Xiao Jiwei, won't the rest of his life be ruined?"

"What? My brother wants to marry Xun'er to that illegitimate son?" When Concubine Yue heard this, she was even more angry than she was. "I just can't figure it out. What charm does this Xiao Jiwei have that makes my brother willing to marry his own daughter to him?

"

"Don't worry, Xun'er. My aunt will make the decision for you in this matter. In the worst case, I'll go ask the emperor for a marriage decree! When the time comes, I'll see how my brother can influence your marriage!"

Wen Xun'er breathed a sigh of relief: "But aunt, the imperial edict is not necessary. Now my mother and I have come up with a perfect solution, which is to let Xiao Jiwei come as Xiao Yun's reading companion. With the Imperial Academy controlling him, I can also participate smoothly.

After the palace election is over, it will be too late for dad to influence my marriage, and my aunt will not have any conflicts with dad!"

"Xiao Jiwei is Xiao Yun's reading companion?" Concubine Yue frowned, "Although I have only met Xiao Jiwei a few times, but the child is very gloomy. I don't trust Xiao Yun in his hands!"

"Aunt!" Wen Xun'er knelt down and held Concubine Yue's knees, "You also know that Xiao Jiwei and I spend the holidays. If he is asked to be his companion, this will be his only chance to leave the Wen family. He will never do that.

It’s not good for Xiaoyun and will destroy his future!”

"I have thought about this matter seriously!" Mrs. Xu said, "We, the Wen family, were born into bandits, and none of our children likes to read. However, Xiao Jiwei has always liked to read, and even if we catch him, we don't even go to the study room."

You know how many times, if you let him be Xiaoyun's reading companion, it might not be a bad thing!"

"Besides, I have made an agreement with him. As long as he serves as a good companion and survives the palace election, he can make his father withdraw his intention to let me marry him. Auntie, it will only take a few months. Xun'er's happiness in the second half of his life will depend on you.

Got it!"

"Okay, okay, get up, it's just a few months of accompanying reading, I don't think Xiao Jiwei will dare to have other evil thoughts!"

"So my aunt agreed?" Wen Xun'er immediately stood up with a face full of joy.

"You rarely ask your aunt to do things. How can your aunt handle this one thing for you? But as a condition, you have to go back after lunch today so that we, aunt and nephew, can have a good talk!"

"Yes!" Wen Xun'er looked at Xu, who finally smiled with relief.

After finishing lunch, Concubine Yue asked someone to pack some food for her: "My Yuehua Palace cook is from Jiangling specially invited by the emperor. The Jiangling dim sum he makes is very authentic. I thought you might like it. How do you like it?"

Bring some snacks back!"

"Thank you, aunt!"

"Thank you!" Concubine Yue didn't know what she thought of, and pulled Wen Xun'er aside, "But have you thought clearly about the palace election? There are several options for the Ninth Prince, and our Wen family is considered

You are the least sure about the family, so you can’t consider other princes? For example, the seventh prince or the tenth prince!"

Wen Xun'er smiled shyly: "If I say that I don't want to choose a prince, can I do it, aunt?"

"Don't want to choose the prince?" Concubine Yue was surprised, "Didn't you just focus on the ninth prince before? What? Did he do something that didn't suit your liking?"

"No!" Wen Xun'er sighed, "There are a lot of disputes among the royal family's heirs, so I just want to live a more comfortable life. It would be better to choose anyone than the royal family!"

Concubine Yue looked at her in surprise: "You can think of this. It seems that you have really grown up! Yes, since I entered the palace, I have been out of this cage. Even if the emperor favors me again, I will

I can't live a happy and free life. Like when I was in Chongle Mountain, hunting pheasants, catching fish, and digging out bird's nests were not easy things. Instead, in this palace, everything was controlled and I had to be reminded of everything I did.

Watch your words!"

"Aunt, you have suffered!" Wen Xun'er held her hand. In a place like the palace, once you enter, it is impossible to get out. Concubine Yue, who has a free and easy nature, is imprisoned in this cage. It is normal for her to be frustrated.

No wonder she dotes on her niece so much. No matter how misbehaving her niece is outside, she always takes care of her, probably because of the true nature of Wen Xun'er!

On the way back, it was still Shen Wei who picked him up and drop him off. It was snowing heavily outside. He was wearing armor and riding upright on a tall horse. The white snow fell on top of his head, making his face look solemn and cold, which made people unable to take their eyes away.

Wen Xun'er noticed that his hand holding the reins was red from the cold, but he seemed not to feel it at all, looking ahead and always alert.

Wen Mansion has arrived.

Wen Xun'er and Mrs. Xu both got off the carriage. After thinking for a while, Wen Xun'er put the heater in his hand against it: "General Shen, warm your hands!"

Shen Wei was startled and quickly took a step back, his face a little red: "No need...Thank you very much for Miss Wen's kindness! I'm not cold!"

Mrs. Xu took the hand stove from Wen Xun'er and stuffed it into his hand: "Don't be embarrassed, Aunt Wen gave this to you, go on!"

After saying that, he took Wen Xun'er into the house, leaving Shen Wei standing alone in the white snow, staring blankly at the heater in his hand.

Since his parents passed away, no one has cared about him for a long time!

The New Year is coming soon. After two months of recuperation, Xiao Jiwei's injury was finally healed. On the day when he went to Taixue to be a study companion, his usually weak body seemed to have suddenly become energetic. His whole body was upright.

There was also a different look in his eyes.

Wen Xun'er began to prepare for his palace election.

Her original intention was not to participate in the palace election, so she did not make detailed preparations. However, Mrs. Xu was so enthusiastic that she prepared all the clothes and jewelry she would wear inside and outside, and also sorted out the princes' information for her.

She knew it by heart. In her words, success or failure depends on this one move. Whether Wen Xun'er can become the princess depends on the result of this time!
