Chapter 262: Imitating the Beauty

When Zi Su saw this scene, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she covered her mouth for fear of making any sound.

She was afraid that Concubine Zhou would see her, so she ran out quickly when no one was paying attention.

Zi Su didn't dare to stop at all along the way until she reached the entrance of Hehuan Palace.

"Young, young master." In the dark night, the road was full of mud, and Zi Su's shoes and socks were wet from running all the way.

My whole body was soaked by the snow and my body was cold, but cold sweat kept coming out of my forehead.

"What's going on?" Shen Fuben was standing in front of the desk practicing calligraphy.

Seeing this, the hands holding the brushes stopped.

"Why are you so flustered?"

Zi Su was covered in filth, but she didn't care about that. He waved away the handkerchief that Xiao Guizi handed over and walked forward in two or three steps: "My lady, you don't know how terrifying Lady Zhou is."

She walked to Shen Fu's side and described in vivid detail everything she had just seen.

At the end, she couldn't help but shiver.

"You don't know the expression on Lady Zhou's face when she spoke." Zi Su was trembling all over, and her face couldn't stop turning pale.

"Lady Zhou looks like she wants to skin you alive."

After Zi Su finished speaking, she opened her eyes and glanced at Chen Fuqiao.

To her surprise, Shen Fu was not surprised at all after hearing this.

Apart from the look of disbelief when he saw Zi Su just now, there was no other difference in his eyes.

It seemed like he was not surprised at all by what Shisu said.

"My... my lady." Zi Su couldn't help but ask, "My lady, don't you feel scared?"

Lady Zhou had such a great hatred for her.

If this happened to me, I would have been scared silly.

"What is there to be afraid of?" Shen Fu came back to her senses and continued to practice calligraphy with her head down.

"Who among those in this deep palace is not an enemy?" They are in the same place, vying for the favor of the same person.

In the face of public interests, anyone who hinders oneself will become an enemy.

"It's just that Lady Zhou showed it, and you just happened to see it."

Shen Fu shook her head and practiced her calligraphy.

Zi Su was originally frightened by Lady Zhou's expression of holding the scissors as if to kill someone, and her heart was trembling with fear.

Seeing that the young lady was fearless and looked calm, he gradually felt relieved as if he had taken a reassurance pill.

"I would say that Lady Zhou is simply dreaming." Feeling relieved, Zi Su breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just relying on her, does she dare to compete with you, my lord?"

Zi Su took the handkerchief handed to her by Xiao Guizi and wiped the dirt off her body, but she couldn't suppress the smug look on her face.

"Except for her family background, Lady Zhou is inferior to you in appearance and figure. Where does Lady Zhou get the confidence to say that she will take back everything of yours, young master?"

Zi Su was half joking, but couldn't hide the sarcasm on her face.

It’s not that she looks down on Concubine Zhou, but appearance is the most important thing in the harem.

Concubine Zhou's face was not outstanding no matter where she was placed, and naturally she was not the most eye-catching in the harem.

She had been in the palace for such a long time but had never caught the Emperor's eye and had never even served him once.

Now he even brazenly says he wants to take away Shen Fu's favor.

Zi Su naturally didn't believe it: "This slave is just daydreaming about Lady Zhou. She doesn't even think about it. Your Majesty didn't like her before, so how can he still like her now?"

Seeing that she was about to say something else, Shen Fu put down the brush in her hand.

"What else did you see besides these?" Chen Fu walked to the sink to wash her hands, which had just been wet with water mixed with rose water.

Zi Su behind her said, "I forgot to tell you that after Lady Zhou cut up the black gold cloud embroidered dance dress she sent, Hong Xiu beside her said she had another one."

"There's one more thing?" Chen Fu paused with her palm placed in the basin and couldn't help turning her head.

"Are you sure?"

"I heard it for sure." Zi Su nodded, "They said it was sent by Concubine Rong. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, this was said by Hong Xiu who was beside Lady Zhou."

"I think it's almost certain. Lady Zhou cut up the black gold cloud embroidered dance dress you sent her, and she still has one left."

She could understand why Zhou Shuyun tried every means to cut up the dance costume she had worn.

However, she tried every possible means to obtain it and then destroyed it.

Finally, only one thing is left. What should I do?

Shen Fu really couldn't figure it out.

"My lady," Xiao Guizi couldn't help but walk forward.

In Yuquan Mountain, Shen Fu's dance was truly amazing.

He still remembers every move he made at that time.

I couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Lady Zhou wants to imitate the young lady and dance on New Year's Eve?"

He scratched his head in suspicion, but Zi Su beside him immediately said, "She wishes!"

"Don't you even look at what you look like? Back then, the young lady's dance was famous enough to make Kyoto famous. So what if she wears the same dance costume? Isn't it just imitating others and making a fool of herself?"

Zi Su was really angry, but Shen Fu looked at Xiao Guizi: "Why do you think so?"

Ever since Zhou Shuyun started to change, Shen Fu began to wonder if she had also been reborn like herself.

Listening to Zi Su talking about Zhou Shuyun's every move just now, she became more and more confident.

But why did Lady Zhou do this? Imitating others is not necessarily a good thing.

There are hundreds of ways to attract the attention of His Majesty, so why choose the stupidest one?

"I don't know, I just feel it." Xiao Guizi lowered her eyes and couldn't help but said, "When I saw Lady Zhou today, I thought her back looked a bit like the young lady."

"If she wore the same dance costume as the young lady, I'm afraid she could really learn from the young lady."

"You!" Chen Fu was not angry yet, but Zi Su was furious and came forward and threw a handkerchief at Xiao Guizi's face: "Why are you turning your elbow outward?"

"I..." Xiao Guizi covered her face with a handkerchief. She lifted the handkerchief and said, "How can a slave be so crooked? What are you talking about?"

"Miss Zhou looks like this, and you still say she looks like a young lady. Aren't you just being disloyal?" Zi Su was really angry.

She has seen this face of the young lady since she was a child, and in her heart, no one can compare to the young lady.

Now Xiao Guizi actually dares to compare the annoying Concubine Zhou with the young lady. How can Zi Su not be angry?

Zi Su was out of breath, and Xiao Guizi was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He scratched his head and explained again: "My lord, that's not what I meant. I just felt that Lady Zhou seemed to be different from before."

"You think so too?" Shen Fu was not angry.

It seems that it is not just her illusion. Lady Zhou has changed, but it is hard to tell exactly where she has changed.

I just feel that the person has changed and his temperament is different.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "So what do you think is different?"

"I can't really put it into words." Xiao Guizi scratched his head and said, "It's just that there are some subtle differences."

"I don't know if Lady Zhou is still learning from the young master, but if over time, she learns the young master's every move... then..."

Xiao Guizi fell silent after she finished speaking. Then the harem would be really lively.

When Chen Fu heard this, she rubbed her brows in pain.

She didn't know what Zhou Shuyun's purpose was, but if she really imitated her every move, it would be a blatant attempt to disgust her.

"Let's wait and see on New Year's Eve." Chen Fu took a deep breath, rubbed her brows with her fingertips, and said helplessly:

"Let's see what kind of trouble Lady Zhou will cause when she wears her black gold cloud-embroidered dance costume."
