Shocking Mountain Moon

Chapter 95 I want to complain
With Concubine Yu's words, after Princess Kang brought Qiu Heng and Princess Jiayi back to their residence, she reminded Qiu Heng to remember to accompany Concubine Qiu every day.

"You should take the Imperial Concubine's words to heart, lest people accuse you of being ignorant."

"Yes."

Seeing that Qiu Heng didn't say anything extra, Princess Kang smiled.

It would be better to go and accompany Miss Qiu every day so as to avoid spending too much time with Yun'er.

Although she adopted Qiu Heng as her adopted daughter, Princess Kang did not completely let down her guard. As a person who had experienced it, she knew too well that young men and women could not help themselves, and it would be a big headache if something really happened.

The journey was exhausting, and the palace fell into a deep sleep that night. The next morning, the men gathered in the square in front of the palace to hold the autumn hunting ceremony, while the women began to socialize.

After breakfast, Qiu Heng went to Miss Qiu.

"My lady, Miss Qiu Liu is here." Zheng Yu brought Qiu Heng in and reported to Lady Qiu.

Lady Qiu put down the fruit she was playing with and looked at the graceful girl.

In terms of appearance, they have similarities, but in their inner world, they are completely different.

"Sixth sister, you're here really early." Lady Qiu waved her hand, "Please sit down."

Qiu Heng walked closer and sat down.

Lady Qiu looked at her and smiled, "Sixth sister is still young, and doesn't look tired at all. Unlike me, my head is still groggy now."

"Then my sister will come over later tomorrow."

"Sixth sister is quite obedient." Lady Qiu said meaningfully.

Qiu Heng raised her eyes to meet Lady Qiu's and asked directly, "Sister, are you saying that I should listen to the Imperial Concubine?"

Zheng Yu standing by was stunned.

Is Miss Qiu Liu too direct in her words?
"Yes, Sixth Sister listens to the Imperial Concubine very much." Lady Qiu did not expect Qiu Heng to be so straightforward. She was stunned for a moment before speaking.

"The Imperial Concubine is the most favored one in the harem. I dare not disobey the Imperial Concubine's wishes, and it is also for my sister's sake." Qiu Heng said lightly.

She was a little impatient to hear Miss Qiu speak so lukewarmly.

After all, what she wanted to contact was Emperor Jingping and Concubine Yu, not Concubine Qiu.

Zheng Yu was even more shocked and glanced at Qiu Heng in disbelief.

The girl, who was somewhat similar to Lady Qiu, had a calm expression, and was not at all nervous about saying something abrupt.

This girl is so brave—Zheng Yu shook his head secretly and was worried about Qiu Heng.

"Thinking about me?" Lady Qiu sensed Qiu Heng's displeasure and became angry. "Sixth sister is still young. It's time for her to play freely. She shouldn't worry too much about others."

Doesn’t this girl know that Concubine Yu has bad intentions and wants to make fun of herself?
Or did she always want to curry favor with the rich and powerful?
Hearing Lady Qiu's sarcasm, Qiu Heng remained calm: "But my sister is not someone else."

"You--" These words touched Lady Qiu's heart, causing her to forget what to say for a moment.

"I know what my sister is worried about." Qiu Heng looked at Qiu Meiren calmly, "But that won't happen."

Lady Qiu raised her eyebrows: "Why is Sixth Sister so confident?"

"When difficulties arise, there is always a way out. As the old saying goes, when an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth."

Qiu Meiren laughed angrily: "What if there is no solution? You know, this is the royal family."

She couldn't even resist her grandfather back then, let alone this palace.

"If there is really no other way, then just accept it calmly. It is better than worrying about it before it happens and making yourself sick."

When Lady Qiu heard the indifferent tone and looked at the fearless demeanor of the girl who said this, she suddenly became suspicious.

Is this girl ignorant and fearless, or is she old?

"Sister." Qiu Heng called out, bringing Qiu Meiren back to her senses.

Lady Qiu looked at her in silence.

"I know that Concubine Yu doesn't like me. I just listen to her because I know the current situation. You don't have to think too much about it." These words were earth-shattering. Zheng Yu was so frightened that her legs went weak and she looked around hurriedly.

Fortunately, besides him, there were only two close palace maids, all of whom were his own people.

This Miss Qiu Liu never stops until she says something shocking!

Lady Qiu didn't expect Qiu Heng to be so bold. She opened her mouth and squeezed out a sentence: "It's good that you understand it in your heart."

Of course she knew that she couldn't ignore the Imperial Concubine's words, but since she had no intention of currying favor with the rich and powerful, and knew that she couldn't avoid dealing with the palace during the Autumn Hunt, why did she have to join in the fun?

Lady Qiu couldn't convince herself that her sister didn't have any other thoughts, but her eyes were clear and her words were straightforward, and she didn't seem to be pretending.

"Come for a walk with me." Feeling depressed, Miss Qiu stood up.

As I walked out of the palace gate, I could faintly hear the sounds of drums and trumpets.

Lady Qiu looked in that direction and said, "The hunt should have started by now. I heard that the noble ladies will also be competing. Will Sixth Sister participate?"

Qiu Heng shook her head: "No, I've only ridden a donkey."

A laugh was heard.

Wu Zhaoyi stopped and looked at the two sisters with a smile.

"Greetings, Concubine Wu." Lady Qiu bowed coldly.

She had never offended Wu Zhaoyi, but for some reason she had made her disliked and always caused trouble for her.

Now, due to the difference in rank, he could not lose his manners, but he no longer had to be at the mercy of others like he was when he was out of favor.

Wu Zhaoyi glanced at Lady Qiu and said, "Lady Qiu is so lucky. We are all alone, but you still have your sister to accompany you."

Lady Qiu said calmly: "Thanks to the Imperial Concubine."

Wu Zhaoyi laughed: "Your Highness, you are a precious person. It is not easy for you to accept such a great blessing. You might even suffer losses."

Qiu Heng, who had been silent all the time, ran away.

Lady Qiu was stunned: "Where is Sixth Sister going?"

Qiu Heng said without even turning her head: "I'll go ask the Imperial Concubine. Zhaoyi said that listening to her would bring bad luck. Is that true?"

Wu Zhaoyi got anxious when she heard this: "Stop!"

What is this little bitch talking about?
Qiu Heng didn't even look back and walked faster and faster.

Wu Zhaoyi panicked and chased after her while shouting, "Stop her!"

The palace maids following Wu Zhaoyi ran after him, leaving Concubine Qiu dumbfounded.

"Beauty..." Zheng Yu didn't know whether to chase her or not, so he hurriedly called out "Beauty Qiu".

Lady Qiu suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly chased after him, holding up the hem of her skirt.

"Your Highness the Imperial Concubine, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine—" Qiu Heng ran away and met Imperial Concubine Yu walking out.

Concubine Yu looked at Qiu Heng running ahead, with a group of people chasing behind her, and was shocked: "What happened?"

"Your Highness, I want to complain. Concubine Wu is gossiping about you behind your back!" After being stopped by Concubine Yu's palace servants, Qiu Heng did not force her way in, but shouted at the top of her voice.

Wu Zhaoyi, who was still some distance away from Qiu Heng, staggered and almost fell to the ground, shocked, angry and incredulous.

If a normal person catches someone saying something wrong, wouldn't they just threaten him to gain the upper hand? Why would someone go straight to complain without any discussion?
"Complain?" Upon hearing this, Concubine Yu waved her hand to signal the palace servants to stop blocking Qiu Heng.

"Tell me, why did Wu Zhaoyi gossip about me?"

Qiu Heng gently pulled at her sleeves that had been lifted up by running, and said angrily, "Sister said that it was thanks to you that we sisters had the opportunity to be together, and Zhaoyi said that listening to you would bring bad luck..."

Concubine Yu looked at the approaching Concubine Wu with an expressionless face.
