Empress Chu

The two girls said: "We don't know." Then they stood up, "Let's go first."

They left as expected, and the bustling warm pavilion was quiet for a moment. Although there were still seven or eight people on Chu Tang's side, it was inexplicably deserted.

Qi Leyun stared: "I'm so angry, if you have something to say, it's nothing to mutter behind your back."

Chu Tang didn't speak from the beginning to the end, nor did he get angry, but he didn't have the aggrieved and disturbed face that made people feel pitiful.

She smiled and said, "It's pretty good. It's to give me face by whispering behind my back. If I say it face to face, won't it make me step down?"

"I don't think things are right," said one girl. "They're acting weird."

Chu Tang said, "Because they think my uncle is guilty."

"How can you blame your uncle?" Qi Leyun stared, "Besides, are they stupid? Even if your uncle is guilty, what is there to be afraid of? Chu Zhao is the queen."

Guilty or guilty.

Are these people confused?

"Aren't they confused?" Zhou Jiang's voice came from behind the warming pavilion, and people also came out from behind the warming pavilion.

Qi Leyun and the others were taken aback: "Why are you here?"

Zhou Jiang waved his hand: "I was quietly thinking about the chess record, this is not important." She walked in and sat opposite Chu Tang, with a straight face, "It is precisely because Chu Zhao is the queen that your uncle is in big trouble this time."

Are you in big trouble when you become a queen?

Such a dignified status as a queen.

The girls couldn't understand, they stared at Zhou Jiang and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Jiangdao: "Because it is a good thing for many people, especially the dignitaries in the court, to have a queen who has a bad character, because in this way, the queen can be manipulated by them."

Chu Tang sighed softly, thinking of what Chu Zhao had said to her in the palace earlier.

Chu Zhao said: "For the imperial court, the turmoil has passed, but for our family, the turmoil has not yet begun."

Sure enough, the uncle was not dead yet, and the turmoil had already begun.

"It turned out to be aimed at Chu Zhao?" Qi Leyun slapped the table, "Chu Tang, go to the palace and tell Chu Zhao, let Chu Zhao reprimand these people, and see if they dare to move their minds."

Chu Tang picked up the dim sum that she had shaken off, and said, "What's that like, bullying others? Everyone is waiting for her to do this."

She lowered her gaze while blowing on the snack.

Moreover, Chu Zhao has no way to do this, she is no longer in the palace at all, and the world doesn't know it.

If you know, wouldn't you be more able to question the crime.

Zhou Jiang nodded: "Of course you can't do this. Of course, the empress can show her dignity, but she must not use it to protect herself and her family. Moreover, General Chu was indeed at fault this time. Xiliang soldiers broke through the defense line. An inescapable responsibility.”

Qi Leyun was a little helpless: "Then there is no other way this time, we can only let it go."

Zhou Jiang said again: "But don't worry, those people just want to confirm General Chu's fault and weaken his power and reputation, so as to suppress the queen. As for the questioning of crimes, they won't do anything, let alone hurt your family. .”

Chu Tang nodded and thanked Zhou Jiang: "A Jiang, you are so smart and kind-hearted."

Zhou Jiang said: "Not really, I just think analyzing this is as interesting as playing chess, and I don't have to be afraid, what happened to your family has nothing to do with me."

Qi Leyun stared, the girls couldn't help laughing, and the slightly tense atmosphere before was broken.

"You are a chess lunatic." Qi Leyun waved his hand, looked at Chu Tang again, and thought for a while, "Why don't you avoid it at home, out of sight and out of mind, and save trouble."

Chu Tang nodded: "I understand." He said with a smile, "Maybe many people are waiting to provoke me and make me make a fool of myself."

The girls nodded repeatedly.

"Let's go." Qi Leyun got up and pulled Chu Tang, "Let's go now."

Chu Tang left the garden and came to the front hall. From a distance, he saw that the front hall was very lively. Except for the wives of various families, the girls who avoided her in the garden were also there. They laughed from time to time together, and Chu's surname was also mixed in between.

Although it was unclear whether it was Chu Tang, Chu Zhao or Chu Ling, it was Chu Tang of them anyway.

Not only the girls, but also the housewives were discussing something in a low voice, with dignified and disdainful expressions——

Seeing this, Qi Leyun pulled Chu Tang back: "Don't go in, you are the queen's sister, you can come without invitation, or you can leave without saying goodbye."

Anyway, whether she is polite or rude, it doesn't matter how she does it, Chu Tang hummed and turned around, taking two steps and three steps, but she obviously walked away, she was far away, and the voice in the front hall should be quieter, but it happened to her ear. The inner voice became clearer and clearer.

Chu Ling.

Chu Zhao.

Chu.

She stands still.

Chapter 55 Ignition

Zhou Jiang slowly fell behind, suddenly noticed something turned his head, and saw Chu Tang striding back.

Oh——Zhou Jiang wasn't surprised at all, stepped aside, and extended his hand to ask her to let her go first.

Chu Tang passed her.

Qi Leyun was about to step over the threshold, when there was a gust of wind around her, someone passed her and went in, almost knocking her back.

"Not long—" Qi Leyun, who was full of anger, was about to scold, but when he looked up and saw his back, his voice stopped abruptly.

Hey?

Why is Chu Tang back?

This guy still wanted to save face, so he came to say goodbye, Qi Leyun shook his head again, and exchanged glances with his companions, everyone quickly followed and stood beside Chu Tang.

When Chu Tang walked in, the chatter and laughter in the front hall stopped instantly, and all eyes were on her. There were sympathy, silence, consideration, calmness, sarcasm, disdain, and so on. gloat.

No one spoke.

It's not like when I saw her from a distance before, I greeted Miss Chu and Miss Atang with a smile.

The lobby was eerily quiet.

"Chu—" The master always looks like the master, standing up and smiling to say hello.

You can't leave people alone, it's so embarrassing.

But Chu Tang who walked in was not at all embarrassed, his eyes fell on those girls, and he walked towards them happily.

"What are you talking about?" She asked with a smile, "So happy."

……

……

Chu Tang, as Chu Zhao's cousin, also had a different status overnight.

But Chu Tang didn't get a reward. Everyone knew that she was the queen's sister, but she was just a young girl.

What's even more embarrassing is that the elders of Chu's family are also civilians, and they stay behind closed doors due to illness, and they don't accept visits from others. Only a young girl, Chu Tang, wanders outside after accepting the famous card.

It's a little embarrassing how the host's family treats her, it's not appropriate to be a guest, and it's okay to treat her slowly.

But Chu Tang didn't come to visit as a guest, but came to play with the girls at home.

This is appropriate, the host can entertain her decently and warmly.

Of course, the housewives treat this young girl with a little more intimacy and respect than other girls, as well as fawning over the cover of enthusiasm——

That was before, but at this moment, the housewives didn't care about it, as if they saw other girls walking past.

When the girls saw her, they seemed to release their children's nature in an instant.

"I didn't say anything." A girl answered first, blocking Chu Tang's words, "I'm not happy either."

This kind of conversation is actually no stranger to Chu Tang. She played with the girls before, and because of her status, everyone didn't need to be polite to her.

When encountering this kind of situation, Chu Tang will either keep silent—this is to let other people help her fight the injustice (to give the girl who disagrees with that girl a chance to pretend to be a good person), or ask me wronged if I did something wrong, don’t be angry, This grievance is a low voice, and the girls will stop targeting her when they see it.

But this time—

"No?" Chu Tang smiled, staring at the girl's face, reached out and tapped lightly, "I've seen it all, you smile so big."

The girl's face turned red instantly, she didn't mean that!Chu Tang pretended to be stupid and asked!

Is it a matter of laughing or not?

Confused for a while.

Heh - Chu Tang thought to herself, she wanted to do this many times before, but she never had the chance, and now she finally has the chance.

Really happy.

"Miss A Tang." The other girl stood up and said in a deep voice, "We are not happy, how can we be happy? What time is it now? Xiliang has hit Shangjun, haven't you heard? The people of the city have died .”

Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Tang with a half-smile.

"Don't Miss Atang know? Didn't General Wei tell you about this kind of tragedy?"

A girl next to her scoffed: "It's not something glorious, and it can't be used to show off. It's not surprising that Miss A Tang doesn't know."

More girls are welcome too.

"Yes, we are all mourning for the people who died."

"Miss A Tang actually said that we are happy."

"Isn't there a saying? You can see what you think of others."

"Oh—then Miss Atang is very happy."

Words came one after another, the girls standing behind Chu Tang felt ashamed and annoyed, Qi Leyun stood in front of Chu Tang.

"What are you doing?" They also shouted angrily, "Speak up if you have something to say, why are you doing this, Atang is not happy."

The girl who was the first to speak and was asked by Chu Tang smiled when she heard this sentence, and she stretched out her hand: "Is there no? I have seen it all, Miss A Tang, you have such a big smile."

This hand stretched out in front of Qi Leyun, pointing at Chu Tang standing behind her.

Qi Leyun was ashamed and annoyed, he stretched out his hand and said, "What do you mean!"

This girl is not easy to mess with, so she yelled, "Qi Leyun, how dare you hit someone!"

The other girls rushed over immediately, "Qi Leyun, what are you doing?" "Qi Leyun, this is none of your business!" "Qi Leyun, you flatterer!" "Their family are all flatterers, and they still live in the Chu family, and they regard themselves as the queen's family. "

There was an uproar in the front hall.

Previously, the ladies who could pretend that the girls were talking loudly and watched the excitement from the sidelines could no longer ignore it.

It's all about to be fought.

It's okay to speak coldly, it's a quarrel between the sons and daughters, and what's more, it's all the truth.

But if you fight and move your hands and feet and leave marks, it's not good.

Hitting is always wrong.

"What's the matter!" The wives said one after another, got up and called their daughters, "Don't quarrel!"

"We didn't quarrel." The girls went back to their families one after another, angry and aggrieved, "Miss A Tang bullied others!"

Qi Leyun was so angry that she wanted to rush over, but was held tightly by her mother.

"Let me beat them up, it's really confusing right and wrong, I don't want to talk to them again." She said, "I only know why Chu Zhao beat people now, and I still want to beat them—Chu Tang, you beat them! You can't If Bai Bai is said to be bullying others, then he bullies them, so what!"

Qi's mother shouted: "You can't keep your mouth shut!" She stretched out her hand to cover Qi Leyun's mouth, and two or three maidservants dragged her away.

Without Qi Leyun's shout, the front hall was quiet for a while, a little embarrassed.

"This, this is fine, why—" the hostess's wife said with a wry smile, "You children——"

A lady raised her hand and hit her daughter twice: "Why are you so ignorant!" Then she curtsied to Chu Tang, "Miss Chu, please don't be as knowledgeable as her."

This is not treating Chu Tang as a child.

The queen's sister, of course, is different from the children, bullying others.

This made the girls even more annoyed.

"Why." "Because her uncle can't guard the border county well, the common people will be killed and suffer?"

Chu Tang, who had been silent since he asked a question and was refuted, laughed when he heard this.

This smile made everyone in the hall stunned for a moment, but they still laughed?

Chu Tang laughed because she thought of Chu Zhao. She finally knew why Chu Zhao wanted to beat someone when he heard those words mocking her father. It was indeed like what Qi Leyun said, which made people want to beat someone.
