Donggong Zhangjiao

Qiu Shaojia frowned slightly and shook her head.

"I can't tell if I know people but not their hearts. But if she really did it, she deserves it."

"That's right." Xu Yingyi looked away, "I don't dare to look at Miss Sun's face. The rash is so scary. From now on, I have to pay more attention to my diet and daily life, and don't let others plot against me."

As she spoke, she sat back on the chair next to her bed and looked at Qiu Shaojia with concern.

"Sister Qiu, you too, you are so beautiful, I don't know how many people are staring at you!"

"Don't worry, I know everything." Qiu Shaojia smiled, took a look outside, and said, "Just rest here, I'll go take a look at my clan girl. At least she can't write two characters for Qiu in one stroke. , something like this happened to her, she must be frightened."

After hearing this, Xu Yingyi wanted to join in the fun.

But when she thought of the red rash on the Sun girl's face, she didn't want to go into that room, so she nodded.

Qiu Shaojia comforted her a few more words before turning and walking out.

When she saw Qiu Shaojia, Qiu Yao was also surprised, but she still hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"I saw my sister."

"You, recognize me?"

Qiu Shaojia was slightly surprised and asked in a low voice.

When she said this, Qiu E also nodded, raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief before saying.

"Before I came here, my family told me that there is a sister in the clan who is also waiting to be chosen. When the show girl called her name, I paid attention to her, so I recognized her."

Hearing these words, Qiu Shaojia's face showed some tenderness.

He stepped forward and took her hand, "Although you and I are of the same race, we are not familiar with each other. I am afraid that visiting you rashly would be too abrupt, so I plan to get to know each other slowly in the future. I have never thought of such a thing. You Get scared."

"me."

She trembled and said two words. Qiu E's tears were like broken beads, falling down, looking like a pear blossom with rain.

"Sister, don't laugh at me. I'm really scared, and I don't think the Zhang family girl got that dirty thing on Miss Sun's pillow."

"Have you seen it?" Qiu Shaojia asked with concern, "Don't say this nonsense. I just came with Grandma Wang, but the people around the Queen clearly see that the Queen wants to investigate this matter strictly."

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Yao was stunned, with tears in her eyes, and seemed to hesitate.

Seeing this, Qiu Shaojia clapped her hand and lowered her voice.

"Good sister, we are from the same clan. We have both prospered and suffered losses, so I, as a sister, have to tell you that in the palace, intrigues and intrigues are inevitable. All we can do is to protect ourselves and others. It’s better to mind your own business, otherwise you’ll be harmed and your family will be hurt.”

Hearing this, Qiu E bit her lower lip, her eyes flickered, her eyelashes fluttered twice, and she nodded heavily.

"I remember."

After finishing speaking, she held Qiu Shaojia's hand again, with begging eyes.

"Sister, please don't bother me. I want to live with my sister, is that okay? Two of the three people in this house are gone, and I'm scared."

Hearing this, Qiu Shaojia's eyes flashed with surprise, and she immediately looked embarrassed.

"I would also like to live with you, but now I live with the daughter of Mr. Xu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, in a room specially arranged by Grandma Wang at that time. I'm afraid it's not convenient to move."

When she finished speaking, Qiu E's face showed disappointment.

But immediately after, Qiu Shaojia comforted him again.

"But don't worry, I will come to see you often in the future. Two days have passed since you have learned the rules for ten days, and you will go to the palace for election in a few days. It is a good thing to live alone without being disturbed by others."

There was no other way now, Qiu E could only nodded aggrievedly.After saying this, Qiu Shaojia moved her eyes towards the house again.

"Have all the things belonging to Miss Sun and Miss Zhang been taken away?"

"Yes." Qiu Yao nodded, "Mother Wang has sent someone to take it away. Now I only have my things in the house."

"That's fine. It's more spacious for you to live alone."

Looking back, Qiu Shaojia comforted her.

After sitting with Qiu Yao for a while, she got up and returned to her room.

And the moment she walked out, Qiu Shaojia's eyes showed a bit of chill.

Fengxuan Palace.

After Tim Mo and Grandma Wang took care of the matters at hand, they rushed back to report to the Queen immediately.

After hearing what was found, the queen looked solemn.

"Does it really belong to that Zhang family? Don't let it be unjust, false or wrong."

"Don't worry, Madam. The servants searched the whole house and only found the fine powder stained on Sun's pillow in Mrs. Zhang's purse. But Mrs. Zhang said that the spices in her purse were bought outside and put in by herself. I didn’t know there was something in it that would cause rashes on people’s faces.”

Tim Mo replied truthfully.

The queen pursed her lips, "Since she didn't know, why did she apply the powder on Sun's pillow to cause a rash on Sun's face?"

"This"

"My empress doesn't know that Mrs. Sun is domineering and unruly. In the past, she loved to bully the people who lived with her. I heard that Mrs. Sun ordered Mrs. Zhang to bring her foot-washing water on the first night. This may be because I have a grudge, but no one else is suspicious except her. There is another girl from the Qiu family in this room. She is as doughy as a dough, and she will make her cry if she speaks in a loud voice. She definitely doesn’t have the guts."

Seeing that Tian Mo couldn't reply, Grandma Wang quickly picked up the conversation.

After listening to her words, the queen exhaled irritably and raised her hands to rub her temples.

"That's all. The election for the palace is coming soon. It's better to avoid causing trouble and follow the rules."

When you enter this harem, you have to protect yourself. You can't always rely on others to make the decision for you.

Even if the queen has this kindness, she still has no time to spare.

So in the end, the case was settled. Zhang and the injured Sun were both sent out of the palace, and Qiu E was no longer arranged to live with her.

Of course, the queen also sent a message to Lin Xiugong. If this kind of thing happened again and was found out, not only the show girl would be severely punished, but her mother's family would also be unable to escape the blame. It shocked a few people for a while. Someone with a bad mind.

But there are still a lot of bugs.

In just eight days, some people wandered out of Linxiu Palace, missed the locking time, failed to go back on time, violated palace rules and were sent out of the palace, and some had wealthy families who wanted to be selected and secretly gave it to Fang Yun or The queen gave her a gift and surrendered, but her cleverness was misled by her cleverness, and she was sent away.

What's even more outrageous is that two people were frightened and fell ill. The imperial doctor said that it was because they were too nervous.

Was also sent out.

Finally, on the day of the palace selection, only 41 of the fifty show girls were left.

Fang Yun felt speechless. He hadn't chosen yet, but he had lost a fifth.

However, I complained in my heart. On the day of the palace election, I still dressed up together with the Queen and Concubine Jin.

The eunuch in charge of the draft bowed respectfully to the three empresses, and then briefly explained the next draft process.

"There are 41 show girls participating in the palace selection this time. The first nine groups are composed of four people, and the last group is five people. The ladies look at each other. If there is anyone who is satisfied, write down the name first, and wait for all the show girls to come. After reading it, we will gather together the show girls who have left their names and read it again, and make the final selection." (End of this chapter)
