Chapter 6: Suspicions Reappear

Everyone knows that the palace is the residence of the Son of Heaven and a symbol of power and wealth in the world, but who knows that in this splendid and magnificent Forbidden City, there are still a few small palaces full of holes and dilapidation, Changyang Palace is one of them.

It was night, the lights shrouded the whole palace, there was no darkness at all, but only the Changyang Palace was dark, only the candlestick in the inner hall burned a red candle that was about to burn out, the faint candle flame shone on the old woman's face, there was a little warmth, but the old woman's face was haggard, her eyes were slightly closed, lying on the couch, but there was no life, and the narrow inner hall was also lifeless.

"Niangniang", Li Lao Lao approached slowly, his face solemn, "The slave maid saw the orphan of the second miss in Xianyang Palace today, she looks very similar to the second miss, and her eyebrows and eyes are also a little similar to Niangniang. ”

The old woman finally opened her eyes and asked indifferently, "Is it a fang'er?"

"Yes", Li Lao frowned, "There is a tear mole on her cheek, and she is also called Zhang Junyu, the slave will definitely not admit her mistake, she is indeed the girl of the fiddle." ”

The old woman seemed to be a little sad, and sighed lightly, "He still sent the girl to the palace, poor Xuanmei is very hard." ”

"If it weren't for the Jin family's ruthlessness back then, how could the second miss give her life in vain, only blame the second miss for believing her and treating her as a sister, but I didn't expect her to be such a villain."

"After all, you can't hide from what you should come, it's all fate."

"The girl was born by riding a dragon and holding a phoenix, she was born to be a mother's life, this time she entered the palace to choose a concubine, but she has a great chance of winning, and she doesn't have to worry too much."

"A companion is like a tiger, who knows whether her future road will be smooth or tortuous, and what if her temperament follows Xuanmei."

Old Li raised his eyes when he heard this, and asked in a slightly tentative tone: "Niangniang, why don't you go to Xianyang Palace to invite her over later?"

"No", the old woman suddenly raised her voice, paused and returned to normal: "Don't see her, she was raised by the Jin family since she was a child, these things let her know, but it makes her difficult to accept, after all, she is only a child."

"Yes", Mr. Li did not answer crisply, as if he was a little lost and a little helpless.

Zuo Yu sat on one side and stretched out the bead hairpin on his head and shook it in front of Zhang Junyu's eyes, "Sister Zhang? ”

Zhang Junfang suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Zuo Yu with a sleepy look, "What's wrong?" ”

"Why does my sister look preoccupied, but what's on her mind? Let's listen to it, maybe I can share my sister's worries. ”

"It's fine, it's just a little homesick."

After hearing this, Zuo Yu withdrew his hand and sat back in place, and did not speak, as if Zhang Junyu's words poked her sore spot.

Youhui suddenly came in without saying a word, attracting Zuo Yu's eyes to follow, seeing her go out with a copper basin, Zuo Yu finally couldn't hide the doubts in his heart, attached to Zhang Junyu's side, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, you say, it's so late, Sister Zhou has only been out for so long, where did she come back?"

Zhang Junwei was stunned when she heard this, when she entered the palace that day, she felt that Youhui was not small, but now she feels more and more abnormal, this Youhui has been alone, and often goes out for a long time without returning, Aunt Yansui seems to take care of her on weekdays, is she Wan Guifei's person!

"Sister? Sister? Zuo Yu saw that she seemed to be frozen, and called a few times, but it interrupted Zhang Junyu's thoughts, she came back to her senses, and said angrily: "You don't care where she came back from, can you still follow her?"

"I think", Zuo Yu suddenly glanced at the empty room and lowered his voice, "She must have some ulterior secret." ”

Zhang Junfang couldn't help laughing, "Everyone has secrets, just like your sister", she suddenly became serious, "You also have some secrets, which I don't know." ”

Zuo Yu was shocked, hurriedly covered it up, and said with a sneer: "My sister is making fun of me again, what secrets can I have, even my sister who is a Huiren knows it, I'm afraid that if I am in front of my sister, it will soon become transparent."

Zhang Junyu pretended to sneer, "Look at you so nervous, I'm just joking with you." ”

"Two girls, the queen has prepared some small things, and my aunt asks you to come over and pick one back", Qiao'er walked to the door of the house silently and reminded in a soft voice.

"Got it", Zuo Yu replied a little eagerly, but Qiao'er's call made the atmosphere in the room no longer embarrassing.

Most of the rewards given by Queen Wang are still pearls and jade hairpins, which are not very appetizing, and Zhang Junyu and the others came late, and there are already few rewards left on the wooden support.

Zhang Junfang picked up a jade flute casually, and Qiao Yan reached over to grab it, "What are you doing, this is what I fancy first!" ”

Qiao Yan said loudly, almost attracting the attention of everyone in the hall, and Er Yin immediately ran behind Qiao Yan.

Zhang Junfang didn't pay attention to it, only secretly pulled the jade flute backwards, Qiao Yanzi was not to be outdone, stretched out his other hand to snatch it with her, raised his lips and sneered: "What, sister, this is going to break the rules?"

"Since Sister Qiaoyan likes it, then I'll just give it to you", before the words fell, Zhang Junfang let go, and Qiaoyan had just exerted enough strength with her, but she didn't stand firm at this time, and almost fell.

Seeing Zhang Junyu take the bead flower on the wooden tray like this, Qiaoyan was even more angry, and threw down the jade flute with an exhalation, "Who is rare!" ”

"Eh, sister!" Er Yin is not a stupid person, he was shocked when he saw Qiao Yan's move, and the eyes of all the ladies and people in the hall also followed the jade flute to fall, Yan Sui just entered the hall and saw Qiao Yan so rude, and immediately changed his face, "Presumptuous, Wang Qiaoyan, you are so bold!" ”

Zhang Junfang saw that Qiao Yan's expression was a little bit emperor, so he grabbed the jade flute in front of her, and saw that there was a thin crack on the jade flute, and his heart was particularly happy, and he smiled gently: "Sister Qiao Yan's hand just slipped?"

Qiaoyan was silent, panicked and snatched the jade flute and put it on his head, turned around and was about to leave, Yan Sui immediately threw down the teacup on a few cases, "Wang Qiaoyan!" You know you've committed the sin of great disrespect! ”

"Auntie", Qiaoyan made a harmonious color, turned around and took off the jade bracelet on her neck, and greeted Yan Sui with a smile, took her hand and stuffed the bracelet away, "Today's matter, can you take it as if you don't know, I know that I am wrong, and I will not do it again in the future." ”

Yan Sui has always held grudges, so naturally she didn't eat her set, pushed her hand away, and said with a smile: "So many pairs of eyes have been seen, how do you want me to hide it from you, not to mention that if this matter is reported to the queen's mother, don't say it's a girl, it's me, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat and walk around", she had a prejudice against Qiao Yan because of the events of that day, and today's accident was not easy to come by, she wanted to take this opportunity to extinguish Qiao Yan's prestige.

Zuo Yu had already walked to Zhang Junfang's side while Yan Sui was talking, grabbed her arm and glanced at her, Zhang Junyu saw Qiaoyan looking around, so he pretended not to know, and asked: "Auntie, if this matter is known to the queen, what will happen to Sister Qiaoyan?" ”

Yan Sui glanced at Zhang Junyu after hearing this, "If it is light, it will be punished, and if it is heavy, it will be death." ”

"Auntie!" When she heard about death, Qiao Yan became more and more frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Auntie, I know it's wrong, please don't tell the queen about it." ”

Seeing Qiao Yan like this now, Er Yin took a few steps back, no longer sticking to Qiao Yan's side like Fang Cai.

"Auntie, please, as long as you help me hide it, I will give you whatever you want", Qiao Yan suddenly looked back, Chu Chu looked at the people in the hall pitifully, "Please don't tell others about this, I can give you whatever you want, gold, silver, jewelry, jade agate, I can give you all of these, as long as you help me hide this matter." ”

"Auntie", Zhang Junyu leaned forward slightly, and whispered: "Otherwise, this matter will be forgotten today, and if everyone doesn't say it, the queen mother will not know about it." Besides, more is better than less, I believe that a kind-hearted person like my aunt doesn't want to see Sister Qiaoyan bury her life. ”

When Zhang Junyu said this, Zuo Yu was obviously a little surprised when she looked at her face, and when she said it, she became more and more puzzled, "Sister is confused?" Why do you want to help her speak? ”

"Human life is at stake, since you and I are both ladies with her, we should help her save the day, how can I stand by and watch, not to mention that this matter started because of me, if I don't save it when I see death, I'm afraid it will be difficult to feel at ease."

Zuo Yu didn't say anything, only lowered his head and sighed.

You Hui didn't know when she also approached, staring at Qiao Yan who was kneeling on the ground, coughed lightly, and then saw Yan Sui's eyes shifting, Youhui also looked sideways, and nodded to her secretly.

"Since someone intercedes for you, then this matter is over, you can eat today's lesson in the future, if there is a next time, don't say that the queen will not let you go, even me, I will not be spared!"

"Aunt Xie, Aunt Xie", when Qiao Yan stood up, Yan Sui also reminded everyone aloud, "You should not know anything about today's affairs, don't reveal half a word, do you know!" ”

"Got it!"

After Yan Sui left, Er Yin walked up to help Qiao Yan and greeted in a low voice, "Sister Qiao Yan, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, but fortunately, there is no danger, but it scared me to death."

"You were able to escape this catastrophe today, but it all depends on Sister Zhang's intercession for you", Zuo Yu looked uneven.

"I thank her?" Qiao Yan pouted coldly, "If she hadn't grabbed this jade flute with me, would I have unintentionally killed it!" ”

Zuo Yu suddenly withdrew his hand that was holding Zhang Junyu, "Unintentionally? Did you just mean that? You actually blame Sister Zhang in turn, but it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people! ”

"Who are you talking about?" Qiao Yan immediately became angry, "You try it again!" ”

"I'll just say that you dog bite Lu Dongbin, I don't know what's wrong with good people's hearts, where did I say something wrong, you give me pointers!"

Zhang Junyu pulled back Zuo Yu with a pleasant face, "Okay, okay, don't argue, what do you and her know how to do." ”

"She's a wolf's heart!" Zuo Yu was still angry, and complained to Zhang Junfang in a soft voice.

"It's not early, we should go back to rest", as Aunt Yan Sui said, so many pairs of eyes in the hall have been seen, even if they don't intend to reveal it, there will definitely be people who ridicule it casually, not to mention, this Wang Qiaoyan is used to being arrogant here, if no one is tired of her, it would be really a joke.
