First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

"That's right." Feicui, who was standing next to Bihe, looked a little smaller. She also stood up and joined in. "As for this single room, it belongs to the capable!"

"Then tell me, why are you so capable?" Su Jixiang asked without getting angry.

Jade was speechless for a moment.

"You can choose any one among the four categories of music, chess, calligraphy and painting." Bihe raised her head proudly.

"You really have brains!" Su Jixiang laughed, "This former Concubine Mei beside me can't lose to you in any aspect of music, chess, calligraphy or painting!"

Bihe's face darkened.

She was just a palace maid. She had indeed learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting from Concubine Chen, but all the concubines in the palace were ladies from noble families. Su Jixiang might not be able to master these skills, but for Concubine Mei, they were a piece of cake.

"Compare embroidery skills!" Bihe thought for a moment and thought of an idea.

"I will compete with you!" Qu Wanning said with a smile, "But the loser will have to be the other party's slave for a month. Are you willing?"

Oh no! Bihe then remembered that Concubine Mei was an amazing embroidery worker. She had embroidered a whole picture of red plum blossoms to celebrate the Empress Dowager’s birthday, which astonished everyone!

"Who wants to compete with you in embroidery?" Bi He quickly changed the subject, "I want to compete with you in cooking!"

"Okay, I'll compete with you!" Su Jixiang laughed again. When it comes to cooking skills, she has never lost to anyone!

"I want to drink her nose!" Bihe said, pointing at Qu Wanning's nose.

Qu Wanning showed the wound on her hand to you all, "I'm injured. Even if you want to compete, you have to wait until I'm healed!" After that, she pulled Su Jixiang towards an empty room.

"Hey, I've told you why you want to live in a single room?" Bihe wanted to hold Qu Wanning's arm, but was blocked by Su Jixiang.

"If you're not satisfied, go and tell Lord Xie." Su Jixiang looked at Bihe and said word by word, "If you're still not satisfied, just keep it to yourself!"

"You are so arrogant!" Bihe looked around angrily, picked up the door bolt leaning on the side and smashed it on Su Jixiang's head.

Su Jixiang was trained in the imperial kitchen, so how could she be hit by Bihe? She spun around and kicked Bihe's knee.

Bihe suddenly lost her balance and fell to one knee. Su Jixiang grabbed the bolt with both hands and twisted it to take it away.

"You're no match for me when it comes to fighting!" Su Jixiang snorted, and she threw the bolt to the ground, "Bihe, enough is enough!"

After saying that, she went to the empty room with Qu Wanning.

There was a pine bed in the room. It was very simple, but with straw and bedding on it, it didn't look too disgusting.

Qu Wanning threw away his bag and sat on it to try it out. "It's quite warm."

"Of course it can't compare to where you lived before." Su Jixiang also sat over and said with a smile, "But it's not bad to have a place like this."

"Jixiang, the money I owe you should be settled now!" Qu Wanning looked happy. She grabbed Su Jixiang's hand and said, "I found out the whereabouts of my father and brother."

"Really?" Su Jixiang was also delighted and asked with a smile, "Where are they?"

"Wancheng was defeated and they were captured by the Black Tiger Army." Qu Wanning said, "Originally they thought they would die, but the Black Tiger Army didn't kill them. General Wei showed them something, so they joined the Black Tiger Army. They are currently in the army. When I came, Lord Xie said that my father and brother had been notified, and they would come to see me soon! They told others that they died in battle, but they were just worried that I would suffer in the palace!"

Wancheng is not far from the capital, and I think the Qu father and son saw that Emperor Jing was already at the end of his strength, so after the defeat, they did not continue to work for Emperor Jing. However, because Qu Wanning was still in the palace, they could only claim that he was dead.

"Haven't they come to see you these days?" Su Jixiang asked.

"They can't enter the palace. The ones who can enter are the Black Tiger Guards." Qu Wanning said with a smile, "But when I came, Lord Xie had already asked someone to notify them. They will come to see me soon!"

The reason why Xie Yingfeng didn't ask the Qu family father and son to go to the palace to pick up Qu Wanning was because there were many people in the palace and it would be bad if someone spoke maliciously and nonsense.

Moreover, given the situation at the entrance of the military camp, neither the Qu father nor his son could get close to Qu Wanning. If Qu Wanning were allowed to come out alone, he would probably be crushed by the crowd.

Sure enough, just as Qu Wanning finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Is Miss Qu here? Come with me!" Someone from the Black Tiger Guard shouted at the door.

Qu Wanning's face lit up with joy, "Come with me!" She pulled Su Jixiang and stood up.

"You are father and daughter meeting each other, why should I go?" Su Jixiang shook his head.

"You have to go, you have to go. You are my sworn sister, and you saved my life. You must see my father! Didn't you say that both your parents are dead? From now on, my father is your father!" Qu Wanning's eyes were focused and warm, making Su Jixiang, who wanted to refuse, feel a little embarrassed!

Qu Wanning dragged him out of the room.

The Black Tiger Guard was indeed waiting at the door, and he was a little surprised to see two girls coming out.

"Who among you is Miss Qu?" he asked.

"I am, but this is my sister, we are together." Qu Wanning said with a smile.

The guard was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Come with me. Military Advisor Xie is waiting."

Military Advisor Xie didn't say that Qu Wanning couldn't bring someone with him, so he didn't bother to care about it!

In this way, Qu Wanning and Su Jixiang went to Xie Yingfeng's tent amid the envious and suspicious eyes of the crowd. In order to avoid more people seeing Qu Wanning and Su Jixiang, the sergeant took the two of them to find a deserted path.

Two generals of the Black Tiger Army had been sitting in the tent. When they saw Qu Wanning coming in through the curtain, they stood up suddenly.

The three of them looked at each other in the tent, and Qu Wanning was the first to cry out, "Father, brother!"

When she cried, the two grown men also started crying.

Xie Yingfeng waved to Su Jixiang who was standing aside and made a gesture to go out. Su Jixiang immediately understood, and the two of them quietly withdrew from the tent, leaving the space inside for the family of three who had reunited after a long separation.

"Why did you come here too?" Xie Yingfeng asked curiously.

After Su Jixiang explained the reason, Xie Yingfeng laughed, "You are really good at getting around! You actually became the goddaughter of our Black Tiger Army's General Bei! That's awesome!" He gave Su Jixiang a thumbs up.

"Is there a General of the North and a General of the South?" Su Jixiang asked curiously with a smile.

"Yes, it's his son, your cheap elder brother." Xie Yingfeng smiled again.
