Zhang Ma had already escorted Madam Qiao inside and had been resting by the carriage for quite some time. When she heard this commotion, she initially thought nothing of it.
After all, they are still children, and it's normal for them to be greedy. Later, seeing that the commotion was getting too big and would be bad for the General's Mansion if it got out, they came over to remind the two of them. As soon as they arrived, the small bottle was broken.
Originally, Zhang Ma was feeling sorry that such a nice thing was broken, but when she saw what happened next, she was stunned.
Juhong stared wide-eyed at Mili in disbelief. "Mili, how could your young lady have this?" She didn't know much, but she knew it was definitely not a good thing.
"You're talking nonsense. It clearly belongs to the eldest young lady, how could it be the second young lady?"
Zhang Ma then realized what was happening and was about to scold her when she saw a familiar-looking palace maid walk by. She immediately stepped forward to block her way.
After the palace maid left, Zhang Ma's face turned cold. "Don't forget your place."
The two maids knelt tremblingly on the ground.
Zhang Ma had served Madam Qiao for many years and was older and more knowledgeable. She knew that this matter must not be revealed, otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble it would bring to the General's Mansion.
"Yes." Juhong was timid. Did the young lady have any presence in the General's Mansion? She reached out to pick up the broken bottle, but was suddenly pushed away by Mili.
"Are you out of your mind?!"
One sentence made Zhang Ma understand what was going on, and her face darkened.
What's wrong with Qiao Yang? He came to the palace carrying such a dangerous thing. Thinking about this, I felt a chill run down my spine.
If Qiao Yang does anything in the palace, the entire General's Mansion will suffer the consequences.
No, she had to find the lady and explain things clearly.
Unfortunately, only the lady and young lady can go in now; how could an old woman like her possibly have that opportunity?
......
Qiao Yang entered the palace as usual.
The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by bowed to them.
The other young ladies would stop, smile slightly, or nod as a response.
Qiao Yang was as arrogant as a princess, looking down on those people with her nose in the air.
Qiao Zhen followed behind, very worried. Gradually, because her physical strength was not as good as Qiao Yang's, she fell behind.
Later, she spotted Mrs. Qiao in the distance and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
With Madam Qiao around, Qiao Yang probably won't go too far.
Over the years, Qiao Yang has always been an obedient child in front of Madam Qiao.
Thinking about these things, Qiao Zhen slowed down and looked at the scenery around her.
This wasn't her first time visiting the palace, but each time it gave her a sense of déjà vu and awe.
The same thing happened again this time.
She seems to be able to see the stories that have played out in every corner.
In the story, some people cry and some people laugh.
She didn't know what was going on. As she looked, she seemed to see things that weren't part of what she should be seeing.
When she was little, seeing these things scared her so much that she got sick. But as she grew up, she seemed to get used to it.
As she walked, she suddenly stopped and watched a palace maid walk by in the distance.
Just a profile view, yet she stopped in her tracks, as if the person who had just passed by wasn't a palace maid, but someone wearing a phoenix crown and draped in a robe, surrounded by a crowd...
Thinking about it, Qiao Zhen suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at the person who walked by.
She was the empress?
Empress Qiao Zhen had met her, and because of the General's Mansion, she was able to approach and kowtow to the Empress.
Now we see a woman with the title of empress, but she's not the current empress. What's going on here?
Is someone in this palace about to suffer misfortune?
The unlucky one is clearly the current empress.
Thinking about this, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Just then, hearing the voices of the crowd, she glanced into the distance.
Chen Siyuan.
The sister-in-law who was sent to the old emperor's study.
Seeing that she was unharmed and even had a smile on her face, I felt an indescribable sense of relief.
Just as she was about to step forward, she saw many people going up to greet her. Looking at her from afar, she realized that Chen Siyuan was actually a pretty good person, much more reliable than Qiao Yuchen.
This person is good-looking and has a good temper.
As I thought about it, the unease that had been in my heart gradually disappeared.
Looking at Chen Siyuan's smiling face, which seemed to be contagious, reminded her of Aunt Xu's reminder.
Seeing something but not saying it is the key to survival.
Over the years, she has lived a very low-key life.
The General's Mansion already has one second young lady; it doesn't need this illegitimate daughter to bring glory to the General's Mansion.
As she pondered, watching Chen Siyuan calmly handle the crowd, a hint of curiosity flickered in her eyes. How did she manage to do it?
To be so calm on one's first visit to the palace is something most people shouldn't have.
Upon closer inspection, her expression suddenly froze.
She saw a scene that didn't belong to her eyes again.
Chen Siyuan rode alone and disheveled on her horse, surrounded by flags of other countries, making it seem like... a battlefield.
Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could a woman go to the battlefield?
Qiao Zhen couldn't believe what she was seeing, but the scene before her was too real for her to believe, yet her feet instinctively moved toward her.
He only had eyes for Chen Siyuan, and ended up accidentally bumping into someone else.
Belatedly realizing what was happening, Qiao Zhen bent down to apologize, only to find that the other person was also quite domineering.
The palace maid next to that person raised her hand and slapped him.
"You insolent brat, how dare you not kneel before me, the princess!" Princess Qiya had just returned from outside the palace and, having heard about the major events that had occurred in the palace in recent days, she was furious.
He wanted to go to the old emperor to complain, but before he could even see the old emperor, he encountered such a blind fool.
The palace maid beside him didn't even need to say a word; she simply slapped him across the face.
Qiao Zhen also felt unlucky and immediately knelt on the ground, hoping not to bring a bad influence to the General's Mansion.
Little did they know that from the moment that slap rang out, Qiao Zhen was exposed to everyone.
"You blind fool, do you think kneeling down will make things alright?" Princess Qi Ya walked in, pinched the other person's chin, and forced Qiao Zhen to look up. When she saw that it was actually Qiao Zhen from the General's Mansion, she immediately became furious.
He raised his hand, ready to slap her, but someone stopped him.
"Who do you think you are, daring to slap this princess with your... filthy hands?" Princess Qiya laughed when she saw that the person who stopped her was Chen Siyuan.
She didn't kill you in the south city, and you delivered yourself to the capital. She was still thinking about how to kill this woman. Now, the opportunity has been delivered right to her.
hehe--
Too many people are courting death.
With such a great opportunity presented to her, how could she possibly waste it?
Everyone knows she is a princess, and this person in front of her is just a merchant's daughter. Daring to treat her like this in public is courting death!
