Chapter 1

It was early summer, and a drizzle drizzled yesterday, removing some heat and bringing a touch of coolness.

The glazed tiles in the Forbidden City were washed spotlessly, and the palace servants in the long red corridor lowered their heads, making no sounds while walking, so quiet, they were suddenly broken—

In Chuxiu Palace, the vermilion wooden door was pushed open with a snap.

Several people in the wing room were startled, their eyebrows slightly frowned, and they turned to look at the person who came in. After pausing slightly, they looked away and suppressed the frightened anger.

The woman who was pushing the door opened the door was wearing a stairs and red jade glass, which was very conspicuous. She was wearing a crimson dress, which was quite ostentatious, and her white skin and snow-white face showed a visible red glow.

Zhou Yun rushed back a little anxiously, and the beaded and embroidered shoes were stained with some sludge. She twisted the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat from the forehead randomly.

When Gu Yan saw her like this, she wondered: "Didn't she go to the Empress Palace? Why did she do this?"

The empress she mentioned is the favorite concubine of the current emperor, the precious concubine, and Zhou Yun's dear aunt.

As he said that, he reached out and poured herbal tea and handed it to her. Zhou Yun didn't say anything, and drank two cups before he recovered.

She waved her hand at Gu Yan, rubbed her embroidered shoes, and buried her in the brocade quilt.

She surprised the people in the wing room like this.

Now on the sixth day of the sixth month, during the talent show, many show girls live in Chuxiu Palace. Even after the primary election, there are still hundreds of show girls. Chuxiu Palace is so big. No matter how beautiful the show girls are favored by many people when they are at home, they can only live in the same room here.

There were four people living in this wing room. Logically speaking, they were both beautiful girls, so they should have the same status. However, as the daughter of the third-rank minister, Zhou Yun, in this wing room, except Gu Yan, she had the best family background. In addition to Gu Yan, she had always had a good relationship with her, so she could only rely on the window bed.

But even so, the rest knew that she was not satisfied with the residence.

A few days ago, every time she went to bed and fell asleep, she always complained a lot, as if this place could not be occupied at all.

Zhou Yun didn't care what others thought at this time. She secretly wiped her tears in the brocade quilt, and recalled the scene she accidentally ran into when she came back, and felt angry and disgusting.

I wish I could peel off the bitch alive.

With an aunt here, she participated in the talent show, but she knew that if there were no accidents, she would have married into Prince An's mansion.

She and King An have known each other since childhood. Although they don’t like King An, they are very kind to her in the past. As long as she enters the palace, he will pick her up and drop them off in person. After listening to those sweet words, they will inevitably listen to them a little.

The mansion had no requirements for her, and only hoped that she would be free of worries for the rest of her life.

Anyway, you always have to get married, so why not marry someone who holds her in your palm?

Therefore, the mansion had angered with his aunt early on. Although his aunt looked down on Prince An, she always loved her, and eventually she followed her.

An accident happened today.

She came back from her aunt's palace and ran into the man next to the rockery. Unexpectedly, before she could call him, she heard a delicate voice: "Master."

In front of her, the man who had always been gentle and cautious seemed to have changed his face, glanced around and hooked the woman's slender waist, and stepped into the rockery in two or three steps. His movements were so skillful that people couldn't guess how many times this scene happened.

Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment, but reacted so quickly that he hid behind the shade of the trees.

She heard the entangled words of the man and woman clearly:

"Master, do you really want to marry that Zhou girl? She looked arrogant and arrogant. How could I bear this grievance?"

The rockery was quiet for a moment, and the talent seemed to say impatiently:

"Who told her to have such an aunt, who didn't know that the imperial concubine had no son, treated her as her own daughter, if this king married her..."

He didn't say anything further, and Zhou Yun couldn't listen anymore.

Who knew how hard she endured that she didn't rush out when the woman said the first sentence.

She regretted it very much and didn't listen to her aunt and asked the palace servant to send her back. Otherwise, why would she be so frustrated?

Although she was willful, she was not brainless. There was no one around at that time. If she had rushed out impulsively, who would know what would happen?

Zhou Yun took a deep breath in the brocade quilt.

The two people who were hugging each other regardless of etiquette and those explicit words made her feel disgusted when she recalled it, she still wanted to spit out all the overnight dinner yesterday.

Suddenly, Jin quilt was patted by someone, and Gu Yan's worried voice sounded: "Yun'er, come out quickly, go out carefully and get bored."

Zhou Yun paused and wiped his tears. When he came out of the brocade quilt, his sweat-soaked hair was wet on her cheeks. His eyes were filled with tears and shimmering, making people reluctant to say a little more.

Her appearance was bright and delicate, and her eyes seemed to break the softness and charm of this world and hide it in it.

There were no one else in the wing room. Seeing her appearance, Gu Yan suddenly changed her face.

Zhou Yun has a good family background and looks good. No matter where he goes, he is like stars supporting the moon. When did Gu Yan see her crying like this?

She suddenly approached: "What's wrong?"

Seeing the trusted person, Zhou Yun couldn't suppress the grievance in her heart. She almost tore the handkerchief to calmly say, "I see King An today."

Gu Yan was stunned and failed to associate the incident of King An and her crying.

"...we are with Liang Jiexian!"

She said this last sentence almost gritted her teeth, and directly asked Gu Yan to frown her eyebrows. Realizing what she meant, she couldn't believe it:

"Are you sure you read it right?"

Liang Jieyu entered the palace during the draft three years ago. He only had seven years of life when he entered the palace. Even now, he is only one year older than Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun's words were not ridiculous, but Gu Yan had always known Zhou Yun. If she hadn't been sure of this, she wouldn't be able to say anything.

Zhou Yun said such a shameless thing once, but he felt that he was dirty. He would say it again, and he turned his head and did not answer.

After a while, Gu Yan finally recovered and her face turned red with anger. She was well educated. When she was angry, she cursed:

"Damn it!"

At this time, she finally knew why Zhou Yun cried like this. It was more like being angry than being sad.

Even though it was the prince, Gu Yan couldn't help it: "If it weren't for the power of the imperial concubine, he would have been awarded the title. Now he is just a prince, so he would bully you like this. What will happen in the future?"

It was not because she looked down on the position of the prince, but everyone knew that King An's biological mother died early and was considered a transparent person in the palace. The position of the prince was only obtained by the concubine and the emperor's suggestion a few years ago.

She hurriedly grabbed Zhou Yun's hand, frowned and advised: "Since he did such a despicable thing, you must not marry into his mansion again!"

A man has three wives and four concubines, which may be nothing in the eyes of the world, but if he has an affair with his concubine's mother, even if he is in an ordinary family, he will suffer from a splash.

Zhou Yun knew what Gu Yan said. She gritted her teeth, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, saying:

"I know it."

He dared to climb upwards by stepping on her, but he didn't look at what kind of virtue he was.

If King An is a wise king, King Zhuang and others, she may not be able to do anything about it, but as Gu Yan said, King An’s position as the prince was obtained by her aunt. A prince who is hard to see even the holy face is better than a servant with a face!

After a long time, Gu Yan calmed down, took the wrinkled veil from her hand, changed it to a new one from her package and handed it over.

The handkerchief is embroidered with red plums and white snow, and is arrogant and arrogant, like Zhou Yun. Gu Yan handed it to her while reciting:

"Shi Qiu and the others did not follow you into the palace. There were many inconveniences in everything. You should be careful when you act. Just like today, think twice about everything and do not be impulsive."

She didn't ask Zhou Yun if he was impulsive at that time, otherwise the palace wouldn't have been so quiet.

Zhou Yun stared at the red plum on the veil with her eyes closed, and she had no choice but to be glad that she used to be reserved and treated King An, and she was not kind enough to be kind. Before the imperial edict was issued, everything was variable, and the ideas in the mansion did not speak to others.

It's not too late to ask others to laugh at her.

At this time, a noise suddenly broke out in the outer yard.

Zhou Yun frowned impatiently, reached out and patted his face, trying to make the traces of crying fade faster. As soon as he pushed open the window sideways, he heard the mahogany door being pushed open. The two women walked in one after another, and there were still some unsuccessful voices:

“…What’s the smug…”

The person who walked in was two other beautiful girls in the wing room, one was Liu Ruxiang, the daughter of Jingzhao Yin, and the other was Fang Ruo, the daughter of the prefect of Liangzhou. Her face was filled with envy or jealousy.

Gu Yan stood up, covering Zhou Yun's body without any intention, and her gentle eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent:

"What's wrong with the outside room? It's so noisy."

When Liu Ruxiang heard her question, she quickly stepped forward and said, "It was Aunt Jinxiu in the Queen's harem who came, saying that she was giving Miss Zhang a reward."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sneer from behind Gu Yan.

"There are so many things."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the words.

Such a big fanfare was still good once, but it was staged twice in just three days, fearing that others would not know that she had a backer in the palace.

Liu Ruxiang paused for a moment, raised her hand and stroked her hair, and smiled in agreement, but she did not dare to answer the conversation.

She had sharp eyes and had long seen the window open. Maybe someone outside heard the conversation in the room. Zhou Yun dared to say that Zhang Huashang was not the case, but it didn't mean she could do it.

If there are those children and girls in this talent show that others cannot afford to offend, Zhang Huashang must be ranked first. She is from Zhang Hou’s Mansion, and the current queen is her dear aunt.

And this draft was hosted by the Queen herself.

Zhou Yun in her room is also considered one. The identity of the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue may not be outstanding in this talent show, but who told her that she had a noble concubine who favored the harem?

It's funny to say that the palace queen and the concubine Zhen have been fighting for a lifetime. In this talent show, their relatives' nieces were all selected this time.

No one can fight for a win or lose.

At noon this afternoon, Zhou Yun went to the imperial concubine's palace for dinner, and in the evening, the reward given to Zhang Huashang in the queen's palace was at Chuxiu Palace.

In this way, a few more laughter came from the outside.

"I really envious of the love for my sister. Apart from Sister Zhang, there is no one else who deserves this phoenix bead hairpin."

Zhou Yun didn't hear anything clearly, but this sentence came in clearly.

The person who spoke seemed to have some advice, and after that, he chuckled.

Zhou Yun sat upright.

She didn't think about competing with Zhang Huashang in the past. After all, the mansion tried hard to pave a comfortable road for her. As long as she continued to follow her, she would be healthy forever.

This intention is something that others cannot envy.
