Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Shu is obsessed with beauty.

"It looks good. Your Majesty looks extremely noble no matter how you dress."

"Prettier than Yingpin?"

"Of course, Yingpin's only advantage is her young age. She seduced the emperor with her seductive looks."

As soon as Zi Luo finished speaking, she realized she had said the wrong thing, and quickly knelt down and began to slap herself in the face continuously.

Concubine Shu was a little annoyed by the voice, and stroked her hair in a nonchalant manner, saying, "I don't blame you. Why are you so scared? If you don't know, you might think I'm blaming you."

"I dare not. It is my fault. Please calm down, Madam."

Concubine Shu turned around arrogantly, helped her up, and gave her the silver bracelet on her wrist.

“My queen…”

Zi Luo was flattered and refused to accept it no matter what.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation. I will not let you down with anything I have."

Zi Luo frowned tightly, with an indescribable fear in her eyes.

"Why don't you accept the gift from me? Are you angry with me?"

"I dare not, this servant dare not."

"Okay, stop being so timid. You can do whatever you want when you work in the Millennium Palace. Why hasn't Zi Yan come back yet?"

Zi Luo put the bracelet in her pocket and kept it close to her body. She took a deep breath and said, "The laundry house is a bit far from here. It must have been delayed on the way. How about I go and take a look?"

Just as Concubine Shu was about to speak, she saw Zi Yan running back in a hurry.

"My lady, this is bad. I was just about to deal with that bitch, but unexpectedly a woman appeared and rescued her, saying that she would help her clear her name."

Zi Luo's face turned pale when she heard this. Anyone who dared to stop the queen's people would be sentenced to death! "Who is so bold that he dares to stop even my people?"

Concubine Shu suppressed her anger. For so many years, others had been accustomed to her doing everything she said. So she was naturally curious when someone suddenly appeared and disobeyed her orders.

"It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Zhao brought her into the palace. I asked around. She is the eldest daughter of the Gu family."

Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes, snorted coldly through her nostrils, dug her sharp nails into her palms, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable hatred.

"Gu family, it seems that the small Gu Mansion can't manage their daughter well."

The scene changed, and Gu Junyao was wearing an extremely eye-catching orange long skirt, with a piece of light yellow brocade wrapped around her chest, and it was embroidered with exquisite peony flowers. She walked gracefully, which was unforgettable. There were also dense blue sea and cloud patterns on the hem of the skirt, which made the dress even more eye-catching when she was put on it.

Gu Junyao walked behind her father, holding a small silk fan in her hand. From a distance, she looked like a lotus emerging from green waves. Her hair was piled high in a bun, with a small tuft of long black hair draped over her chest. She looked dignified yet playful. As soon as she turned around, her long skirt spread out, making her look like flowers scattering from heaven.

"Father, I heard that the princess is going to marry outside the Great Wall soon. But the conditions outside the Great Wall are so bad. There's not even water or rice. Won't the princess suffer if she goes there?"

A princess who grew up in the royal family is really pitiful. She cannot decide her own destiny. Gu Junyao felt a little scared. Fortunately, she was not a princess.

"Don't talk about this in the palace. If the princess hears about it, you will suffer the consequences."

"Yes, I will remember Daddy's teachings."

Zi Luo waited nearby for a long time, and after hearing that the Gu family had just entered the palace, she walked forward, bowed to Gu's father, and said, "You are Lord Gu, right?"

"Yes, you are?"

"My name is Zi Luo, and I work for the Millennium Palace."

"Shu Fei! Disrespect, disrespect!"

Father Gu loved to curry favor with the rich and powerful in the palace. When he saw the people around Concubine Shu, he actually stepped forward to greet them, and the wrinkles on his face were twisted into knots with smiles.

"I wonder if Lord Gu would come to the Millennium Palace for a visit. The Queen has something to say to Lord Gu."

Father Gu and Gu Junyao looked at each other. Is their good luck about to begin? However, they didn't seem to have much contact with Concubine Shu. Without time to think about it, Father Gu was thinking about how to please Concubine Shu. Maybe he could even decide Junyao's marriage.

After arriving at the Millennium Palace, Father Gu bowed to Concubine Shu, but Concubine Shu did not seem to want them to get up.

"My lady, I wonder why you asked me to come here?"

Father Gu looked curiously at Concubine Shu who was sitting on the phoenix couch. Her every move and gesture was full of nobility and heroism, which was something that people like them could not imitate.

When Concubine Shu looked at the father and daughter of the Gu family, she thought that Gu Junyao was the woman who ruined her plans.

"Master Gu, this is only the first time you and I have met, but I feel that you have never taken me seriously, even your daughter."

When Father Gu heard this, he was so scared that he broke out in a sweat. He immediately lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Even if you give me a hundred guts, I would not dare to disrespect you."

"Really? Lord Gu is not good at educating his daughter, and I am very sad. Fortunately, your daughter is here with you, so I will teach you some rules."

Father Gu was completely confused and had no idea what he had done wrong, so he was severely criticized by Concubine Shu. Not only did he kneel outside the courtyard for half an hour, but Gu Junyao also suffered.

Zi Luo put a large pile of Buddhist scriptures on the table and said with a frown, "This is what the Concubine Shu ordered. You must finish copying it before leaving the palace today, otherwise you can forget about going back."

"Can I ask my aunt what crime my father and I committed? How did we offend the queen?"

Gu Junyao had never suffered such a great injustice. She had dressed up nicely to enter the palace, but she didn't expect to be targeted by Concubine Shu for no reason.

"Gu Yunru, you have offended the Queen, but you don't even know it! Don't think that the Queen can't do anything to you just because you have the support of His Royal Highness Prince Zhao."

"Wait, the person you are looking for is Gu Yunru, not me, Gu Junyao. The queen must have misunderstood something. Please, aunt, say something nice and ask the queen to spare me and my father."

Gu Junyao already hated Gu Yunru in her heart. She must have said something wrong that brought shame to the Gu family, and now she and her father have been implicated. When she returns to the Gu Mansion, she will definitely complain to her mother.

Zi Luo didn't believe what Gu Junyao said and did, and fiercely shook off her hand, saying unhappily: "Just finish copying the Buddhist scriptures in this yard obediently, and you don't have to go to the banquet tonight, so as not to embarrass yourself. The upbringing of the Gu family is so bad, there is no need to attend it."

"aunt……"

Gu Junyao wanted to beg again, but she didn't expect that the person had already walked away.

On one side of the picture, Gu Yunru was taking care of Biluo in the laundry department. Biluo was flattered. Seeing Gu Yunru and King Zhao taking care of her personally, her eyes suddenly filled with tears and she was deeply moved.

"Miss Gu, you are really kind-hearted. I didn't expect you to speak up for me, but this will also offend Concubine Shu."
