Chapter 825 Miss Xuan Shen's Family Enters the Palace

"Qian Qiao, but you didn't sleep well last night?"

Chen Jiuzhen looked worried.

Shen Qianqiao was taken aback, shook her head, took a mouthful of porridge and fed it to her mouth.

"You kid has everything written on his face."

Chen Jiuzhen sighed lightly, put the bowl down, thought for a while, and then said, "Then, has the young master of the Fang family looked for you these days?"

"It's impossible for me and him," Shen Qianqiao picked up the pickled radish and ate it by herself.

"That's right," Chen Jiuzhen felt a little regretful. If it wasn't for Fang's family, she would have been unmarried at that age, and her identity and appearance would be very similar to her Qian Qiao.

"There is a child in your uncle's shop whose parents are gone. He is hardworking. He is twenty now, about the same age as you. Although his family background is not good, he has a good character. With the support of your uncle and me, he will not dare to I have treated you badly."

The corners of Shen Qianqiao's mouth twitched, thinking that Aunt Zhen hadn't given up yet, so she didn't feel a little headache.

She put the bowl down, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her mouth: "Aunt Zhen, I want to decide my marriage..."

"Ma'am, miss, it's not good..."

Nanny An's voice came from far to near, and soon she stepped in with a flustered expression.

Chen Jiuzhen frowned tightly: "What's wrong?"

"Ma'am," Nanny An panted heavily, wiping the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, "I just went out to do some shopping, and I heard people outside say that Yunzhou has fallen, and the rebels are about to come here. Now every household is stockpiling food, and some shops have been looted by refugees, it's a mess!"

Shen Qianqiao's complexion changed slightly, and the fingers holding the handkerchief turned pale.

"Yunzhou has fallen?" Chen Jiuzhen frowned, glanced at the girl beside her, and thought about it.

Mother An said worriedly: "Ma'am, if there is a war, the food will be in short supply. Should we store some?"

Every time there is a war, the price of grain rises rapidly. I am afraid that many grain shops are out of stock now.

It's just their big family...

Shen Qianqiao said in a deep voice: "Aunt Zhen, if there is a war, there will be nowhere to spend this money. You can buy as much as you can now."

Chen Jiuzhen pursed her lips tightly, nodded, and quickly ordered: "Mother, I'll ask you to go down and make arrangements for this matter. Try to exchange as much food as possible."

Nanny An nodded, turned around and left quickly.

Chen Jiuzhen's complexion was not good. She never expected that the world would change as soon as it said it would.

"Qian Qiao, you eat first, I'll go to the shop to find your uncle, these days it's better to let him stay away from the house, I'm still not at ease!"

She stood up as she spoke.

At this time, a girl hurried in: "Ma'am, there is someone from the palace, and they want to see Miss Biao!"

Shen Qianqiao had just picked up the bowl, she hadn't swallowed the thing in her mouth, she was a little dazed.

"Qian Qiao, follow me out to have a look."

In the narrow garden stood two teams of guards, wearing dark red military uniforms, standing on both sides with expressionless faces. In the middle was a eunuch with gray hair and wrinkled face, holding a whisk.

Shen Qianqiao remembered that this father-in-law served by the old emperor's side.

When approaching, she couldn't help lowering her head.

Chen Jiuzhen asked respectfully: "I don't know why my father-in-law is looking for Qian Qiao?"

"By the empress's order, Miss Shen's family is announced to enter the palace, and Miss Shen is asked to tidy up and go with our family!"

Chen Jiuzhen's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said, "Elder-in-law, Qianqiao has a low status..."

"This is the imperial edict," Sun Dehai interrupted her, and walked up to Shen Qianqiao, his cloudy eyes glowed sharply: "Miss Shen is smart, do you still want to disobey the empress' kindness?"
