Quick Wear: White Lotus Strategy Diary

Chapter 322: Beautiful and Delicate Orphan Girl 1

Fortunately, she had an aunt who was a concubine to take care of her.

When Concubine Shu heard the tragic news, she had no time to feel any sympathy. She immediately sent someone to fetch her surviving niece, Situ Qian.

The imperial city is so rich and magnificent that it is worthy of being located at the feet of the emperor. It is prosperous and bustling.

With the help of the nanny, Situ Qian slowly got out of the carriage.

"Miss, don't be nervous. You will just meet the queen later." The nanny comforted her warmly.

Situ Qian nodded slightly, lowered her eyes, placed her hands on the left side of her abdomen, and bent her legs. "Thank you for your advice, Madam."

The nanny was even more satisfied and immediately helped Situ Qian straighten up. "Miss, there is no need to be so polite."

After saying that, the nanny led Situ Qian to Concubine Shu's palace.

As soon as I arrived at the palace gate, I heard hurried footsteps.

"Your Majesty, please slow down." The palace maid hurriedly followed behind Concubine Shu.

"I am Situ Qian, a commoner, paying my respects to Her Majesty the Concubine Shu." Situ Qian was about to perform the salute with tears in her eyes.

Concubine Shu Situ Yan immediately stopped Situ Qian who was about to salute.

"Qian'er, you and I are aunt and niece, there's no need to be so polite." Concubine Shu also looked at Situ Qian with tears in her eyes.

"Aunt..." Situ Qianhui held Concubine Shu's hand and shed tears of emotion.

"Good child, don't cry, don't cry." Shufei wiped the tears from the corners of Situ Qian's eyes with red eyes.

"Aunt, you must take care of yourself...Qianqian only has aunt as her relative..." Situ Qian said in a crying voice.

Concubine Shu looked sad and could no longer hold back and went forward to hug Situ Qian.

Immediately, the aunt and niece hugged each other and burst into tears.

The palace maids around her also covered their faces and cried.

The nanny also wiped the tears from her eyes and stepped forward to remind her. "Madam, there are too many people and too many gossips."

Concubine Shu nodded and took Situ Qian into the inner hall.

"Qian'er, don't worry. With your aunt here, you don't have to be afraid of anything." Concubine Shu looked at Situ Qian lovingly.

Situ Qian nodded with emotion. "I just hope I won't cause any trouble to my aunt."

Concubine Shu touched Situ Qian's head lovingly, her expression sad. "You have reached marriageable age. If you hadn't encountered this disaster, with your looks, and your extensive knowledge of poetry and literature, and your proficiency in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, you would have been able to marry a noble man."

Situ Qian has taken off her veil at this time, and when her pair of bright eyes look at you, you are always unconsciously attracted to her.

When Shufei was young, she was one of the most beautiful women in the palace. Looking at her niece's appearance, she couldn't help but sigh that she was far more beautiful than she was back then.

If I had to describe it, I could only say: pretty as a peach in spring, pure as a chrysanthemum in autumn.

It’s a pity that if I marry a rich family, I will be bullied without a family background.

Seeing Concubine Shu secretly sad, Situ Qian held her hand warmly.

"Aunt, don't worry. Qianqian doesn't care about family background. I just want to... win the heart of one person and stay with him till we grow old together."

"Okay." Concubine Shu forced a smile and looked at Situ Qian lovingly.

Wish to find a person who loves her and stay with her till old age? After many years in the harem, she already understood one thing: true love cannot be begged for.

Vows will gradually fade away with time until they disappear.

And you are the only one who remembers it.

But since her niece wanted one, she tried her best to find one.

"Thank you, auntie. Thank you for your concern." Situ Qian said.

"Silly child, why bother? With your personality, who wouldn't want you?" Concubine Shu joked.

Situ Qian lowered her head shyly.

"I have already asked for the emperor's grace a few days ago. You can study at the Imperial Academy."

"It just needs to be tested, but my aunt believes in you." said Concubine Shu.

Upon hearing this, Situ Qian immediately stood up and bowed to Concubine Shu. "Thank you, aunt."

This time, Concubine Shu accepted Situ Qian's gift and looked at Situ Qian lovingly.

"Your father is a stubborn old man who has always wanted your brother to be admitted to the Imperial College. Now, you have finally fulfilled their wish."

Situ's eyes turned red and he nodded with emotion.

"Okay, stop crying. Eat your meal or it will get cold." Concubine Shu turned sideways and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Situ Qian nodded.

"Eat more, you are too thin." Concubine Shu picked up a lot of dishes for Situ Qian.

The palace maid next to her respected Situ Qian even more.

After all, Concubine Shu actually served food to her niece herself, which showed that she really valued her niece very much.

"My aunt eats it too. I remember every time we made sweet and sour pork ribs at home, my father would say that my aunt liked it the most." Situ Qian said as he picked up a piece of pork ribs for Concubine Shu.

"I just wonder if Auntie still likes to eat it now."

"Brother actually still remembers..." Concubine Shu looked dazed.

Looking at the sweet and sour pork ribs in the bowl, Concubine Shu's eyes suddenly turned red. She picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs that Situ Qian had picked for her and tasted them carefully.

As if she had returned to her childhood, Concubine Shu came to her senses after a while and nodded and replied, "Whatever you like to eat, I like to eat."

Situ Qian immediately smiled. "Then eat more, auntie."
