The reborn concubine seeks the world

Chapter 12 Relief
The carriage marched to the palace wall, because Murong Lie was a first-rank general protecting the country, our carriage was able to enter the palace wall, but we just got out of the carriage when we passed a long corridor and entered the next palace gate.

If it were a young lady from another family, she might have to abandon the carriage and walk on foot at the gate of the palace wall. This is the privilege Yu Wenjin gave Murong Lie to be a first-rank general.

The eunuch assigned by Zhou Xiaolian led us all the way into the Yushou Palace, and a maid I had never seen at the gate of the palace gave us a salute.

"The three are the three young ladies from the Murong Mansion. The servant girl Qiuyue was appointed by the empress. Today, the servant girl will serve the three young ladies for the time being."

Hearing these words, the three of us sisters all smiled at Qiuyue.

"Three ladies, please come in with your servants, the Empress has been waiting for a long time."

Afterwards, the three of us sisters followed Qiuyue to Yushou Palace.

Although I smiled coldly on my face, in fact, I had already had bursts of emotion in my heart.

The three of us sisters are neither the latest nor the earliest. I thought that after entering this time, I would see Zhou Xiaolian. I don’t want to. We only saw the ladies of various officials, and there was no Zhou Xiaolian. The shadow of pity.

My originally hanging heart immediately fell into emptiness.

However, not far away, I saw the daughter of Guo Shilang's family, Guo Yurou, whom I had been friends with in the past.

Seeing her, I originally wanted to say hello to her, but when I remembered my current identity, I stopped in my tracks.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a loud sound came into my ears.

"Do you know that I am the empress's direct cousin, and you dare to mention the matter of the former empress in front of me, do you not want to live?"

I looked up and saw that the woman who beat people was named Zhao Ziyue, I recognized her as Zhou Xiaolian's cousin, when I was in Zhou's residence, I saw her come to our residence.

However, in my impression, Zhao's Mansion is just the mansion of a fourth-rank official. Now, it seems that a person who has attained enlightenment can ascend to heaven. After all, he is the empress's own cousin. Naturally, he has a way to enter the palace, and he has the courage to slap the second-rank official's house daughter.

I have always understood Guo Yurou's temperament, just like her name, weak and quiet, yet kind, that's why I got along with her back then.

At this time, seeing Guo Yurou suffer such grievances because of mentioning me, I was so angry that I walked over quickly.

"This sister, why are you so angry?"

Seeing me impulsively walking over, Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing walked up to me in fright.

Look at me asking such a question, Zhao Ziyue's face is full of arrogance.

"Who doesn't know that the former empress committed suicide in fear of crime in the cold palace because of the cholera palace. Now that Ms. Guo mentions the deeds of the former empress without authorization, isn't she despising the laws and regulations of the Daqing Dynasty, and even more despises the empress of today!"

Hearing what Zhao Ziyue said, Guo Yurou on the side felt aggrieved and said, "I didn't, it's just that you guys are always discussing the deeds of the former empress. What is your intention to slander me so much?"

From what I heard this time, it was really Zhao Ziyue's strong words that made no sense.

After all, Guo Yurou is also the daughter of a second-rank servant, and her father has a high official position. There are not many official ladies who dare to cater to Zhao Ziyue's words. However, Zhao Ziyue's family background is not very good, but she is the empress's cousin. People dare to offend her.

But Zhao Ziyue looked at Guo Yurou disdainfully and said with a smile: "I am the empress's cousin, I know more things than you, why should I slander you!"

In turn, Zhao Ziyue looked at me with an arrogant expression.

"Who are you? I teach the ignorant official lady a lesson. What are you doing?"

At this time, behind me, Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing pulled my arms respectively, but I couldn't swallow this breath and said immediately: "I am the third lady of Murong Mansion."

Hearing these words, Zhao Ziyue said disdainfully: "Oh, it turns out that she is just a concubine from a warrior's family."

Suddenly hearing Zhao Ziyue belittle Murong Lie so much, I looked at her almost in disbelief, this woman is a bit too courageous, but she dared to belittle a first-rank general like this because she is the empress's own cousin.

I could feel that many ladies from the official family gasped, and everyone fell silent.

Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing, who originally advised me not to cause trouble, immediately became angry, especially Murong Qingqing's straightforward temper. She looked at Zhao Ziyue and said: "This empress's cousin, I am the second cousin of Murong's mansion. Miss, I would like to ask you, I don't know who is my father besides the empress's cousin?"

When Murong Qingqing asked such a question, Zhao Ziyue blushed immediately.

"Who is my father, why should I tell you?"

As soon as this remark came out, many ladies in the official family covered their faces and laughed, but considering the status of the empress, they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Seeing Zhao Ziyue's answer, Murong Qingqing smiled and said: "Then do you know that the Miss Guo you slapped just now is a second-rank official, the daughter of Guo Shilang's family?"

Zhao Ziyue blushed even more when she heard that Murong Qingqing had revealed Guo Yurou's family background.

At this moment, Murong Qingfeng also spoke, "The General Murong you called just now is a warrior, but my father is the first-rank general protecting the country at that time. He is an official who can be compared with my father in the current court. I'm afraid there is only Zhou Xiang alone, but the empress is from the Zhou mansion, but I don't know which mansion the empress's cousin is from?"

Murong Qingqing and Murong Qingfeng pressed questions repeatedly, Zhao Ziyue was flustered, she put her hand on her forehead and said, "Oh, why do I feel dizzy?"

At this moment, the maid serving Zhao Ziyue immediately supported her and said: "Miss Zhao, I will help you to sit down for a while."

Hearing this, Zhao Ziyue ignored everyone's jokes, and immediately covered her face and said, "That's fine, I'm afraid I've been running around a bit today, and my body is weak."

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help laughing, turned around, looked at my two older sisters, and said guiltily, "I made my two older sisters worry just now."

Seeing me being so polite, Murong Qingqing stretched out her hand and took my hand and said: "Third Sister, what are you talking nonsense, when you came, Eldest Sister and I told you that we will definitely protect you."

At this time, Guo Yurou, who was standing by the side, said softly, "I just thank you for helping me out, but I am weak, and I almost brought you down and offended the empress."

Hearing these words, I immediately smiled and said: "Sister Guo, don't thank us. My father is the general who protects the country. He has always been upright in the army. As his daughter, we three sisters must not see injustice. things, and turn a blind eye.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Murong Qingfeng on the side also spoke.

"Miss Guo is serious. The empress is the master of the harem. This time someone is taking advantage of her status to act as a domineering here. I am afraid that the empress herself will speak out to admonish her when she sees this situation."

Although I felt a little unhappy when I heard Murong Qingfeng mention that Zhou Xiaolian was the master of the harem, after all, the entanglement between me and Zhou Xiaolian had nothing to do with Murong Qingfeng, let alone the entire Murong Mansion. So when Murong Qingfeng said this, I never disliked her because of the unhappiness in my heart.

When all the ladies from the official family arrived, we waited for another half an hour.

"The Empress is here!"

At this time, the chief eunuch of Yushou Palace heard a sound, and all our official ladies bent down and knelt down.

Even though I have too much hatred for Zhou Xiaolian in my heart, at this moment, I also kneel down with everyone.

Revenge, don't rush, take your time, I have to plan well.

I secretly raised my eyes to look at Zhou Xiaolian, she was wearing a bright phoenix robe, walking in with gentle and graceful steps.

After she sat on the queen's seat, she opened her mouth and said with a faint smile: "Excuse me!"

We got up together, but saw Zhou Xiaolian's eyes fell on Guo Yurou. After a while, she said, "I just heard that Ms. Zhao slapped Guo Shilang's family in spite of etiquette. My daughter, is there such a thing?"

As soon as this remark came out, no one dared to open their mouths, so they saw Guo Yurou come out and salute Zhou Xiaolian, and immediately said with a smile: "The empress misunderstood, it was just Miss Zhao playing with me."

Hearing this, Zhao Ziyue came out in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Yes, empress, I have nothing to do with Miss Guo, I'm just playing around with her."

Seeing the drama finally come to an end, Zhou Xiaolian nodded slightly, "That's good."

This is what Zhou Xiaolian wanted. She just favored her natal family in front of everyone. Even if she did this, no one dared to raise any objections.

At this moment, we saw a court lady walking in from the outside. I recognized this court lady as Peiqi, Zhou Xiaolian's close maid in the Zhou mansion. The maid in charge of the Shou Palace is now.

"Your Majesty, the eunuch just came to report that arrangements have been made for the Imperial Garden. Please move to the Imperial Garden."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaolian smiled lightly and said, "Then let's go!"

Zhou Xiaolian got up, and we went to the imperial garden together.

Along the way, Zhou Xiaolian rode the phoenix in front, and I originally came from the residence of a first-rank general, and my two older sisters followed closely behind.

I lowered my head, and a strong hatred surged in my heart. At the beginning, all of this belonged to me, and she robbed me of everything.

It's just that no matter how resentful I am in my heart, in front of others, I am just a 13-year-old girl who has not yet grown up. Now that I have such a heavy identity, I must take good care of it. If I want revenge, I must make all plans.

In the Imperial Garden, we were all assigned our seats, just as we sat down, we saw Zhou Xiaolian smiled and said, "I invite all the ladies here today, on the one hand, to enjoy the flowers, on the other hand, this year's talent show is not yet In one month, there are many boudoir girls who are about to participate in this year's draft, and this time I invite you to come here, I also want to be able to look good for the emperor."
