Chapter 502 Entering the Palace Together
Su Ying really didn't know how important her position was in Lin Zhuyu's heart.
After seeing Lin Zhuyu off, Su Ying went to the Imperial Garden again. The imperial guards who were in charge of guarding the Imperial Garden said that an eagle had suddenly landed on the cage. Because the eagle was too big and looked too ferocious, they did not dare to act rashly.
When Su Ying arrived at the imperial garden, she saw the half-human-tall flying eagle staring sharply at the two little wolves in the den.
The little wolf was not weak either. Although half of its body was curled up in the den, its fur stood up and its whole body was in a state of high alert, ready to meet the eagle's attack at any time.
"Come down."
Su Ying snorted coldly, and the eagle spread its wings and flapped twice, and the potted plants on the ground were blown to the ground by the strong wind.
The eagle landed steadily in front of Su Ying. Su Ying spread its wings and took down the message.
It was Motu who sent the message, saying that he had almost dealt with the internal affairs of the Red Devils in Jin State, and now he was going to come to Chu State to find her and integrate the power of the Red Devils in Chu State.
Previously, the Red Devil's forces on the Chu side had joined the court struggle, and some people had already become disloyal, so he was going to come and eliminate all of them.
Motu knows more about the Red Devils than she does, and his coming here will also allow her to have a comprehensive grasp of the Red Devils' situation.
After Su Ying replied, she let Feiying leave immediately.
After returning to Fengluan Palace, Su Ying said to the palace maid, "Pass on my order. I will summon the eldest daughter of Marquis Bo'an's mansion tomorrow."
"Yes, I will pass the message on right away."
…
In the mansion of Marquis Bo'an.
When Zhou Xiangrong followed the maid into the hall, she saw An, who was wearing a long double-breasted skirt and a gold hairpin on her head, sitting on an ebony chair with a haughty look on her face. Next to her was Zhou Nishang, who was wearing the most popular busty and floral skirt.
Zhou Nishang rolled her eyes in disdain when she saw Zhou Xiangrong enter the room.
Zhou Xiangrong walked into the room and bowed to An, "I wonder why Madam called me here?"
An's eyes swept over Zhou Xiangrong sharply. She couldn't understand. The people she sent clearly said that she had been killed, so how could she still stand in front of her safely? She seemed like a different person. If her face was not exactly the same as before, she would have suspected that she was a different person.
She had sent people to find out the details in the past few days, and also knew that Zhou Xiangrong had secretly gone to Lincheng and Luocheng. Although she was unwilling to believe it, it seemed that she had indeed shown her face in front of the Queen Mother, otherwise why would the Queen Mother order her to enter the palace tomorrow?
An forced a smile and said, "Mother heard that you will be entering the palace tomorrow, so she picked out a few dresses for you. You can wear whichever one you like tomorrow."
An waved her hand and two maids came in holding dresses.
Zhou Xiangrong didn't even look at it, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. I still have clothes to wear."
"Those clothes you have are from last year. These are the most fashionable clothes this year. I think the pink one is especially suitable for you. Go and try it on."
Zhou Xiangrong still stood there without moving.
Her behavior wore out An's patience, and the smile on An's face gradually faded.
Zhou Nishang snorted coldly, "Zhou Xiangrong, don't be ungrateful. Your mother prepared new clothes for you because she was worried about your reputation in the upper class, but you don't even appreciate it."
Zhou Xiangrong smiled indifferently, "If I don't have any clothes, I can go and tell my father and ask him to buy some for me. I won't bother you, Madam. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first."
"Stop right there!"
An was completely enraged by Zhou Xiangrong's disregard for her. "Zhou Xiangrong, if I tell the people in the palace that I'm suddenly ill and need you to stay in the mansion to take care of me, do you think the Queen will still insist on letting you enter the palace?"
Zhou Xiangrong's expression changed slightly, and he immediately asked angrily: "What do you want?"
Seeing Zhou Xiangrong was scared, An showed a smug smile on her face, "When you were in Luocheng, your sister was always worried about your condition. When you were treating patients, she also wrote to you to give you advice. If we talk about the credit, your sister should also be counted. Tell me, am I right?"
Zhou Xiangrong bit her cheeks in anger, "She didn't do anything at all, why should she share my credit?"
An sneered, "Just because you are the daughter of the Zhou family, what's wrong with you getting glory and benefiting your sister? If you don't want to, don't even think about entering the palace!"
"If you were not the daughter of the Zhou family, the Queen would not look at you more. Zhou Xiangrong, you'd better recognize your identity and stop being shameless!" Zhou Nishang said contemptuously.
Zhou Xiangrong was trembling all over, but in order to enter the palace, she could only grit her teeth and endure it, "Okay, I will bring her to the palace tomorrow."
Seeing that she agreed, the An mother and daughter smiled with satisfaction, "That's right, choose a dress, don't be too shabby and embarrass our Bo An Marquis Mansion."
Zhou Xiangrong took the dress and left the main hall with Xinyue.
"Madam, you are really going too far. It was clearly the eldest lady's achievement. Why should the second lady be allowed to take advantage of it? Eldest lady, you must explain it to the Queen tomorrow. The Queen will definitely see through it."
Zhou Xiangrong slowly sat down on the chair, all the anger on his face gone.
"I was afraid she didn't want to go."
Zhou Xiangrong's mood changes were so obvious that she was confused. "Does the eldest lady want the second lady to go with her?"
Zhou Xiangrong sneered and said, "If she doesn't go, how can the world know that I have suffered so much injustice in the Marquis Bo'an's mansion?"
It is human nature to sympathize with the weak. She just wants those self-righteous superiors to sympathize with her so as to achieve her goal.
When Zhou Xiangrong entered the palace, she changed into the dress given by An. This dress was indeed the most fashionable style at the time, and the materials were also good. But when she walked outside the door and met Zhou Nishang, the difference in their outfits became apparent.
Zhou Nishang, wearing a colorful dress, stood in the sun, with a brilliant halo all over her body, showing the feminine and hazy beauty of a woman.
Zhou Nishang glanced at Zhou Xiangrong, and when she saw that she was completely outshined by herself, a smug smile appeared on her face.
A bastard wants to compete with her? Maybe in the next life!
Marquis Bo'an attached great importance to the two people's entry into the palace and had the carriage waiting outside the door early.
"You must follow the rules after entering the palace. You must not bring shame to our Bo'an Marquis Mansion, understand?"
Zhou Nishang responded obediently, "Don't worry, father. I will never let you down."
Marquis Bo'an nodded with satisfaction and let the two sisters get on the carriage.
Due to his position as Marquis Bo'an, he was not qualified to attend the morning court, so he could only send the two men to the outside of the palace gate, and after giving them repeated instructions, he watched them enter the palace.
"Marquis Bo'an, please stay." The imperial guards stopped Marquis Bo'an outside the palace gate.
Zhou Xiangrong looked at the magnificent imperial palace in front of him, his eyes revealing a determination to win.
