030: The reason for hostility
The previous fog of Queen Chu Yun had already made cinnabar suspicious, but she lowered her head and waited for Queen Chu Yun to get to the point. Unexpectedly, the last thing that came around turned out to be this sentence.
"I still like the rose dress of the little cinnabar, but it's not cold today. Why don't you wear it?"
Queen Chu Yun's words made Zhu Sha suddenly stunned. She raised her head slightly and looked at Queen Chu Yun. But when he saw the phoenix eyes of Queen Chu Yun, his eyes were shining, and he stared at the cinnabar with an inquiring look.
The heart of cinnabar sank.
Yes, what kind of person is Queen Chu Yun? How can I not remember that I was wearing the same color clothes as Ziyu on the day of the dinner? She must have tested herself with the mentality of "I'd rather kill a hundred by mistake than let go of one"!
So the cinnabar smiled and said, "Queen, the cinnabar doesn't want to tell people that it always imitates your dressing style! You don't know that the first one is because it is too similar to the clothes you are wearing. Some people say that cinnabar is a model. The cinnabar later knew that the queen liked this kind of colorful color, so I thought about it and wore this kind of cold color, but I didn't dare to be laughed at again.
Queen Chu Yun couldn't help laughing when Zhu Sha said this.
One of the truths to relieve herself is to raise others and belittle herself. For an arrogant person like Queen Chu Yun, stepping on the pride of others is her greatest happiness. At this time, when she heard the cinnabar say this, Queen Chu Yun covered her mouth and smiled and said, "What is Dongshi? However, your little cinnabar's mouth is full of coaxing words!"
"Yes, yes, after all, Princess cinnabar is the best at coaxing the queen to be happy." Concubine Su took the lead in leading the palace concubines to smile.
"Oh, why don't you see Sister Cheyu today?" Zhu Sha didn't bother to listen to these women's words, so he hurriedly changed the topic.
"Oh, I sent her to the prince early. A few days ago, because Hua'er was ill and you were not feeling well, so I didn't let you go to school. Today, I heard that you were better and urged her to go early. Otherwise, I would chat with you now and I don't know when I would be able to go." Queen Chu Yun said with a smile, "Let's go to Little Cinnabar quickly. Today is your first day of school, so don't be late."
"Yes!" The cinnabar, like an amnesty order, hurriedly saluted happily and bowed and retreated.
Queen Chu Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the distant figure of cinnabar, and the smile on her face slowly converged. When all the concubines retreated, she beckoned to her maid.
"Xiu Shui, Chuan Shunyuan came to see me."
The lady responded and went in a hurry. Before long, I saw a thin-browed eunuch walking in quickly, but it was the one who had broken into the bushes to track the cinnabar. When Shunyuan saw Queen Chu Yun, he first saluted respectfully. Then he stood there with a charming smile and asked, "What's the matter with calling slaves?"
"Shunyuan, you are so bold!" Queen Chu Yun suddenly patted Fengqi and opened her eyes, which made Shunyuan almost fall to the ground.
"King, Wang Wang, Queen, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with me?" This Shunyuan asked tremblingly.
"Don't you know it yourself?" Queen Chu Yun asked with a sneer.
"No, I don't know." This Shunyuan was shocked, and a cold sweat had oozed from his forehead.
"I don't know?" Queen Chu Yun sneered and said, "You don't know, so I came to ask you, you chased all the way that day, but you only saw the Ziyu alone?"
Shunyuan was stunned. His small eyes turned black, and he hurriedly knelt down and cried, "The sky is above. I, the slave Shunyuan, is loyal to the queen, and never dares to lie! On that day, the queen chased after Shunshui and Shunfeng all the way. It was true that I only saw the Ziyu alone, and there was no one else!"
"Is that true?" Queen Chu Yun asked coldly with a long voice.
"That's true!" Shunyuan's forehead had slipped cold sweat and dripped into his eyes. It was a hot pain, but he didn't even dare to wipe it. He just lowered his head respectfully and clenched each other tightly in his sleeves.
Queen Chu Yun was silent for a while. Her eyes were cold, and she looked at Shunyuan for a moment. Even though Shunyuan used his hands tightly, he was still very calm and calm on the surface. The whole hall was suddenly filled with silence and depression. After half a cup of tea, the Queen of Chu Yun slowly opened his mouth and asked, "When you brought the purple jade to see me, you didn't see dust and grass crumbs on her skirt, let alone think she was really out of breath. Do you really think it was her? "
"This..." Shunyuan muttered and said, "When I just got there, I did see her alone. If this person was not her, who would it be?"
"What's more, she does have a fetus in her belly..." Queen Chu Yun stretched out her hand and gently stroked her lips. The bright red nails and red lips were so red that they were so shocking. "That kind of running method will never be so stubborn when drinking red flowers... There should be something else in it. It's strange."
"What do you mean, Queen..." Shunyuan asked.
"You recently went to find out where Princess Cinnabar has been recently, especially... Find out when she went back on the day she entertained the envoy of Wu Zhaoguo, and whether her clothes were dirty... Did you hear that?" Queen Chu Yun asked harshly.
"Yes, yes!" Shunyuan nodded repeatedly, and Queen Chu Yun ordered him to go down.
Xiushui, the female official who has always stood quietly behind Queen Chu Yun, hurried forward and asked, "Queen, I don't think the cinnabar princess's attitude towards you is any different, and she doesn't seem to know the secret. Besides, she is still a child. If she really sees it, she won't pretend to be so calm, right?
"This is exactly what I'm worried about!" Queen Chu Yun said in a low voice, "If this secret is really what she saw, then the girl's hiding is too deep, and her city is too deep. The purpose of coming to Dashang this time is even more worrying..." With that, Queen Chu Yun unconsciously felt a burst of fatigue. She slowly closed her eyes and reached out and rubbed her eyebrows.
"Queen, what's wrong with you?" Xiushui hurried forward and held Queen Chu Yun.
"Nothing," Queen Chu Yun breathed a long sigh, leaned on the phoenix chair with the help of Xiushui, and said, "I think I'm old. Recently, I often feel powerless, and I often feel dizzy."
"Queen, what are you talking about," Xiushui said anstrangedly. "You are simply a young girl. Have you ever said that you are old? I always remember that when you first entered the palace, you were so beautiful and charming, just as graceful..."
"Oh, you silly child," although she knew it was flattery, Queen Chu Yun still laughed, "I'm old, and no matter how beautiful people are, I can't stand the years... I think I've spent 20 years in this palace. My youth and beauty have all been stolen by the years..."
With that, he slowly stood up. Xiushui helped Queen Chu Yun turn around and walked to the inner hall. Before leaving, Queen Chu Yun looked at her palace again. This... the palace that is noticed and remembered by how many women, this... the chair of power that many people hate and yearns for... And now it is her Zhuang Chuyun's, but will it not be in the future?
Who can speak clearly and who can speak clearly?
Queen Chu Yun smiled bitterly, shook her head gently, and slowly walked down the phoenix chair.
The cinnabar has come out of the "Yunxiang Hall" so far that I can't help looking back. Since just now, cinnabar's heart has always been haunted by a strong uneasiness. How did this feeling come from? The cinnabar can't explain it clearly, but she clearly knows that Queen Chu Yun still doubts herself. In the future, cinnabar must be more careful.
Seeing that the cinnabar has been looking back frequently and his face was different, Linglong couldn't help worrying about the cinnabar. She coughed gently and asked, "Princess, are you all right?"
"None! What can I do!" When the cinnabar asked, she felt guilty. She hurriedly turned her head and responded loudly, but Linglong's eyes widened and stared at the cinnabar in astonishment.
"Cough, what I mean is, Linglong, don't worry too much. I'm just a little anxious because I'm going to be the prince." Cinnabar realized his gaffe and hurriedly explained, "I am the only one in the prince of Wuzhao Kingdom, but how can I ever go to school with everyone? At this time, I was called to go to school. I have never seen Bai Hua. Cheyu and Chengyu look hostile to me. I really don't know how to go to that hard work!"
What cinnabar said is also from her heart. Who is that prince? It makes people feel a headache when thinking about it. How embarrassing is it to go to school with a strange teenager and two girls who are coveting at themselves?
"It turns out that you are worried about this," Linglong smiled with relief. "You don't have to worry about this. Although Bai Hua is arrogant, he is a boy and won't care too much. The two princesses Cheyu and Chengyu are indeed a little difficult to deal with, but I believe that you are so smart, and they are definitely not your opponents.
This is the truth.
Cinnabar nodded in agreement. With the two stupid girls, Cheyu and Chengyu, Cinnabar has the strength to toss the two of them around.
"It's just... who are they?" Cinnabar asked doubtfully, "It seems that they are from a famous family, but they don't look like the royal family. Although they seem to be educated, they are a little angry no matter how they look at it..."
"Her Royal Highness said very well," Linglong nodded repeatedly. "The two princesses Cheyu and Chengyu are the nieces of Queen Chu Yun's family."
"The niece of Queen Chu Yun!" Cinnabar opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"Exact" Linglong nodded and said, "Her Royal Highness naturally doesn't know much about the palace. The origin of this big business turned out to be just a branch of Qi, the ancient country. The Zhuang family is a member of the ancient royal family. Because Prime Minister Zhuang supported the king and founded the great merchant, he was awarded the title of Grand Duke of Protector and the position of Prime Minister. The power of the banker is second to none in the court, and the Queen of Chu Yun is naturally also in a high position, and the phoenix position is unmatched. There are few people under Prime Minister Zhuang. There is only one daughter from Queen Chu Yun, so he can succeed his sister's son Zhuang Ziqiang. Cheyu and Chengyu are the daughters of Zhuang Ziqiang, which is just a princess's title. However, Queen Chu Yun fell in love with these two girls very much. At a young age, she entered the palace and ate, dressed and learned all with the princes. That Cheyu regarded herself as the best choice for the future crown princess, so she has a lot of resistance to Her Royal Highness!"
No wonder!
Only then did the cinnabar suddenly realize.
