Chapter 7(1/2)
Half an hour later, the Empress visited Chuxiu Palace in person. This was the first time that all the girls saw the Queen after the talent show began.
She was wearing gorgeous clothes and golden hairpin. She was surrounded by more than a dozen palace men behind her. She was so noble that all the beautiful girls were shocked and stood in a distance around Zhang Huashang's wing.
Luo Qiushi turned his head and asked Zhuang Yisui beside him cutely:
"Sister Zhuang, do you think Miss Zhang is still possible to stay?"
Zhuang Yisui calmly closed her eyes: "Look at the skills of the imperial physician."
Luo Qiushi smiled: "That may be difficult."
She just saw Zhang Huashang's face, now it's a bit disgusting.
Is it just that I can't intimidate the priest?
Zhou Yun listened to the conversation between the two and shook his body with a little chill.
Unlike Zhang Huashang who only had a feud after entering the palace, she and Zhuang Yisui were considered a grudge before entering the palace.
There are only those noble ladies in Chang'an City, and they will always meet them when they come and go.
However, there will always be comparisons in places where there are people.
She is often compared with Zhuang Yisui. Zhuang Yisui has always been generous, decent, gentle and steady, so of course she can never compare to the one she can.
Zhuang Yisui always said something as if modestly after others finished speaking.
How can you not get bored if you call Zhou Yun?
Therefore, before leaving the palace, Gu Yan specifically reminded Zhou Yun and told her to be careful of Zhuang Yisui and Zhang Huashang.
Zhang Huashang might have been really scared and threw herself into the queen's arms. She didn't see her usual steadyness at all, and she cried:
"Aunt, my face..."
No woman is afraid of disfigurement, and Zhang Huashang is no exception.
When Zhou Yun heard the news, he had to sigh that it was the old man in the palace and knew what the most effective method was.
If he really arranged a charge of theft for Zhang Huashang like Gu Yan, the queen could just suppress it.
The queen took Zhang Huashang's hand and Zhou Yun saw clearly what Zhang Huashang looked like now.
The cheeks of beautiful people used to be covered with red rashes, densely packed, and it makes people feel scared. A chill flashed by, and I don’t want to take a second look.
Zhou Yun immediately glanced away.
Not only her, but the queen also felt apprehensive between her eyebrows and eyes, and then she became angry and turned to look at Madam Liu:
"Madam Liu, the emperor personally issued an imperial edict to let you discipline the etiquette of all the ladies, and trust you."
"But how many incidents have happened since the beautiful girl entered the palace?"
Madam Liu immediately knelt down: "I am ashamed of the trust of the emperor and the empress, please punish me!"
The queen was indeed unwilling. If Zhang Huashang failed the election, it would take three years for her Zhang family to have a woman to participate in the talent show, not only that.
It is not easy for a family to cultivate a legitimate daughter. Now that the legitimate daughter is not elected, it means that all the family’s previous efforts are in vain.
The queen turned cold: "Today's incident, we must find out the truth!"
When Mama Liu had an accident on her territory, she would naturally not fall into trouble. Therefore, the people from Kun and the Palace searched for a while but found nothing.
The queen thought of something and suddenly turned her eyes out of the window and landed on Zhou Yun, her eyes slightly darker.
If it were done by the beautiful girl, it would be impossible to move so cleanly.
Zhou Yun was stunned. Unexpectedly, the queen would have suspected her if there was no evidence like this.
In fact, the queen didn't doubt her, but just suspected the imperial concubine behind her.
Suddenly, Yang Yun, who had been standing beside Zhang Huashang, spoke:
"Miss Gu stole Sister Zhang's jade bracelet yesterday and was not selected. Sister Zhang was injured today. Isn't this a coincidence?"
Zhou Yun almost wanted to be angry and laughed, but she glanced at Yang Yun coldly:
"I wonder what Miss Yang means?"
Yang Yun was afraid of Zhou Yun and just whispered: "I just think it's too coincidental."
Zhou Yun narrowed her eyes:
"Miss Yang said that Sister Gu stole Miss Zhang's things, and that Miss Zhang was the victim, why did she look guilty and afraid of retribution?"
"Just Master Zhou is careful!"
The palace servant beside the queen frowned and interrupted her, obviously thinking that she was presumptuous.
However, the queen didn't say anything, just looked at Zhou Yun lightly, but there was an inexplicable pressure.
Zhou Yun's eyes were slightly calmed, and he was just hanging his head: "I don't know what the daughter said wrong. Could it be that the Empress also thinks that Sister Gu is a thief?"
She didn't want to face the queen directly, but she couldn't let others slander Gu Yan.
Zhou Yun's attitude was respectful, but aggressive.
This is the first time that the queen has been forced to this point by her younger generation.
Lord Gu and his wife were very relieved, and even the emperor remembered some of their contributions. After Gu Yan was not elected, the emperor scolded her.
Even because the imperial concubine gave an order early, saying that Gu Yan was just leaving the palace due to illness, she praised the imperial concubine for her proper conduct in front of her.
In this way, it is naturally impossible for the queen to say that Gu Yan is bad in public.
Before she could speak, Jinsu's face turned cold and she said sternly:
"Rareless! How dare you talk to the Empress like this!"
Zhou Yun sneered in his heart, but took a step back and bowed:
"If the daughter offends her, please forgive me."
Without losing a trace of etiquette, he seemed to be regressing but actually did not give in at all.
The other girls looked at her in shock, but didn't dare to think that she would dare to face the Queen directly for Gu Yan.
Liu Ruxiang swallowed and gained a further understanding of Zhou Yun's boldness.
Suddenly I felt that it was indeed Zhou Yun who did it, and it was not impossible.
After all, except her, no one else dares to be so bold.
The queen reached out and put her hand on Jinsu's shoulder and said warmly: "Forget it, come back."
Jinsu respectfully retreated behind her, and then she slowly fell on Zhou Yun. She did not answer what she had just said, but only smiled and praised:
"Miss Zhou is quite courageous and is somewhat similar to the imperial concubine."
"The Empress is wrong, how can the ministers behave like the imperial concubine?"
Zhou Yun did it on purpose. Even though she knew that the queen disgusted her aunt in her heart, she wanted to praise her aunt.
Chu Xiu hurried into the palace outside the palace, approached the queen, and whispered: "Empress, the imperial concubine is waiting for you in Kunhe Palace."
Zhou Yun, who vaguely heard this, quietly straightened his spine.
The queen paused a little, looked at Zhou Yun deeply, and took the people away without even saying a word to comfort Zhang Huashang.
The queen did not lose any benefit when she came this time, and she could not make the decision for Zhang Huashang.
Zhang Huashang was stunned by the crying, staring blankly at the queen's departure back, but she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
After the crowd dispersed, Zhou Yun asked the palace servant to help her approach Zhang Huashang.
Zhang Huarong finally lost his former kindness and glared at her viciously: "As you wish, are you happy now?"
Zhou Yun didn't say anything.
Just when Zhang Huashang was suspicious of what she was going to do, Zhou Yun suddenly slapped her.
Clean and neat.
Everyone was so shocked that their bodies shook slightly, and Yang Yun was so scared that she took a few steps back.
Zhang Huashang, who was stunned, came back to his senses, his eyes turned red, and his whole body was trembling: "How dare you hit me?"
How dare you beat her if the daughter of a third-rank minister?
Who knew that Zhou Yun didn't even lift her eyelids, just sneered:
"I just beat you, so what can you do?"
She is happy?
One hundred Zhang Huashang was not elected, and her sister Gu could not come back.
My aunt's order was just a whitewash. Sister Gu's position in the mansion had already plummeted, and now she doesn't know what will happen.
Zhang Huashang dared to ask her if she was happy?
Zhang Huashang was beaten in full view of everyone, and she was going crazy. She stood up and wanted to fight back. Who knew that Madam Liu came in at this time and scolded her coldly:
"Enough! What's the matter!"
