The eunuch's words were like a bolt from the blue that hit Wu Xiu Niang on the head. She trembled all over and her face lost all color!

However, she was kneeling on the ground in front of Tao Shiyu, so Tao Shiyu could only see her back and could not see the panic that flashed in her eyes.

And because Meng Qianqian's voice was not loud just now, Tao Shiyu did not hear the word "senior sister".

Tao Shiyu was very proud: "You came just in time! Madam Lu, the real master is here, let's see how you can quibble this time!"

Many ladies and daughters began to whisper again.

They had never expected things to turn out so dramatically.

Just now when Meng Qianqian was arguing with Tao Shiyu, she said, "You are Wu Xiu Niang's apprentice? I said I was the apprentice of the master of Yanyu Pavilion!"

Anyone could tell that she was just bragging in a desperate situation, but who would have thought that the two people she was talking about would actually enter the palace together.

This time, I couldn't beat him any harder.

I've never seen anyone slap someone in the face so quickly.

Meng Qianqian is so unlucky.

At the moment, not to mention the female relatives, even Yao Qingluan thinks that Meng Qianqian will have a hard time turning things around.

Madam Yun from the Misty Rain Pavilion was notoriously unkind. If someone had the audacity to pretend to be her disciple...even if it was just bragging, she would probably still expose the other person without mercy, even if Meng Qianqian had the entire Governor's Office behind her.

She remembered that a few years ago, a major event happened in the capital. An embroidery shop bought embroidery products from Yanyu Pavilion and claimed that they were their own embroidery products.

When Madam Yun learned about this, she went to the embroidery building and turned it upside down. She also hired a storyteller and went around the capital to curse the embroidery building for a whole month.

From this we can see how miserable Meng Qianqian’s end will be.

"Your Majesty, we have long heard of Madam Yun's great name, but have never had the chance to meet her."

"Yes, Queen, we also want to meet Madam Yun."

You guys want to eat melons, right?

Yao Qingluan had a headache.

It’s not that she wanted to protect Meng Qianqian, but what good would it do for her if she let Meng Qianqian lose face?

A group of women who like to watch the fun and make trouble have really put her in a difficult position.

It turns out that being a queen is not easy.

"Madam Yun from Yanyu Pavilion requests to see you."

The eunuch outside passed the message again.

Generally speaking, eunuchs would only pass the message once.

It was this second time that Yao Qingluan recognized the other party's voice as Kang Youcheng, the eunuch who was close to the Empress Dowager of Kunning Palace.

Was it the Empress Dowager who asked Madam Yun to come?

Then he will be summoned even if he doesn't want to.

And he was afraid that he could not do anything or put pressure on Madam Yun to let Meng Qianqian go.

Things are really... terrible!

Lady Changning was very proud. Although her son was not very good, her daughter was very good.

You silly girl, just wait for yourself to be humiliated and become a laughing stock!

Yao Qingluan said: "Announce."

The eunuch beside her said, "Announce -- Madam Yun to see you --"

Yun Xiyao walked in neither humbly nor arrogantly, like a watercolor painting slowly unfolding before everyone's eyes.

In terms of facial features, Yun Xiyao is not absolutely beautiful, but no one would think she is not beautiful when seeing her. She has a natural temperament that makes people feel like a fresh breeze.

"Yun Xiyao from the Misty Rain Pavilion pays respects to the Empress. May the Empress be blessed with good health."

She knelt and bowed, and happened to be standing next to Wu Xiu Niang. "Xiyao is ill, so I'm sorry I can't perform the full ceremony. Please forgive me, Queen."

Kang Youcheng smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager exempted Madam Yun from the kneeling ceremony."

Yao Qingluan nodded.

Meng Qianqian thought, what's so fast about that? When he was chasing Baoshu around the yard, he ran faster than a rabbit.

But from this, Meng Qianqian became more certain of one thing, that is, Yun Xiyao's identity was definitely not simple, otherwise she would not have been treated so well by the Empress Dowager.

"Xiyao has a gift for the Queen."

As Yun Xiyao spoke, she opened the brocade box that Kang Youcheng had been holding in his hand.

A ray of colorful light burst out, and in an instant it was so dazzling that everything was eclipsed.

It was a golden phoenix shawl. Although it was not embroidered on both sides, the phoenix on the shawl seemed to be endowed with divinity. People only needed to look at it to hear the cry of a phoenix soaring into the sky.

Even if I have no chance to get it, I may be lucky enough to see it, and I will have no regrets in this life!

Yao Qingluan took a deep breath and suppressed her love and desire for the embroidery: "Madam Yun, I appreciate your kindness, but this shawl is too valuable. I cannot accept it."

Yun Xiyao said, "Empress, this scarf is not your wedding gift, but an apology for the trouble caused by Xiyao's apprentice in Jingren Palace."

Beads of cold sweat oozed out of Wu Xiuniang's forehead, slid down her slightly trembling cheeks, and fell to the ground with a thud.

At this time, the wife of the Minister of Rites kindly reminded: "Madam Yun, you misunderstood, it is not your disciple who caused the trouble!"

Tao Shiyu stood up and bowed, smiling and saying, "Shiyu greets Master! Master, you came at the right time. Someone used your embroidery to deceive people, saying that she embroidered it herself and lied that she was your apprentice! Fortunately, Master was in the palace and exposed her!"

Kang Youcheng looked around when he heard this.

The maid of Jingren Palace was very discerning and took the double-sided embroidered round fan.

Yun Xiyao took the fan, glanced at it casually, and said to Wu Xiu Niang, "Did you tell them this?"

Wu Xiu Niang was shaking like she was sifting chaff.

Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong with her.

Yun Xiyao came, and even Tao Shiyu called her master, but she didn't say hello to her master and looked quite uncomfortable.

"Master, are you feeling unwell?"

Tao Shiyu asked with concern.

Wu Xiu Niang did not answer her apprentice's words, but crawled on her knees and turned to Yun Xiyao: "Master... Master... I just said... like yours..."

Yun Xiyao said coldly, "How can it be similar? You have been with me for ten years, don't you know that I would never embroider like this? What kind of craftsmanship do you have? You are so embarrassed to give it to others? I am talking about you!"

When she said the last sentence, she looked at Meng Qianqian sternly.

Meng Qianqian blinked and stood up with an innocent look on her face: "I just started learning, is this good enough?"

Yun Xiyao pointed at the fan and said, "You call this good?"

Everyone was confused. What was going on? They couldn't understand!

"Master... I didn't mean it... I didn't know you were entering the palace today..."

Wu Xiu Niang said in panic.

Last night, her master found her and asked her to go to the palace to deliver a piece of clothing to the Empress Dowager. If the size was not suitable, she would alter it on the spot.

She really didn't expect that her master was also in Kunning Palace.

Yun Xiyao said coldly: "You mean, if you knew I was here, you wouldn't have framed your junior sister?"

"Junior sister?" The wife of the Minister of Rites exclaimed, "Madam Lu... is she really Madam Yun's disciple?"

Tao Shiyu was struck by lightning and looked at Meng Qianqian: "Master...how could she be yours..."

Meng Qianqian is actually Yun Xiyao’s disciple, so doesn’t that mean she is his junior uncle?

Why is it happening like that?

After trying my best and using all my connections, I could only become Wu Xiu Niang's apprentice?

How could Meng Qianqian have the virtue and ability to directly become Yun Xiyao's disciple?

Yun Xiyao said mercilessly: "Don't call me Master, you don't deserve it!"

Tao Shiyu's face was filled with embarrassment.

Yun Xiyao: "If a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. If a teacher is not strict, it is the fault of the teacher. I cannot escape the blame for teaching a disciple like you. From now on, I will not accept any more disciples."

Wu Xiu Niang: "Master!"

Madam Xing whispered, "Xiaojiu, it's time to close the door as a disciple."

Yun Xiyao said to Wu Xiu Niang, "Our relationship as master and disciple ends here. Don't call me Master anymore."

Wu Xiuniang and Tao Shiyu both felt like the sky was falling!
