Zhong Miao Yi naturally knew what to do.
She did not know what kind of character Zhou Xu had, but Ah Jiu meant that she was too cold, so Zhou Xu had a reason.
If word of this got out, people would say that she couldn't bear to see anyone else get into the palace and be favored by others. Jealousy was a huge crime, and if it spread to the empress dowager's ears, who knew what would happen?
But to make the Zhong Miao Yi welcome him with a smile. It was also hard for her to not laugh for a long time, as she had forgotten how it felt when she smiled sincerely.
However, she had already arrived, and it was impossible for her to stay here for too long. This was to prevent Zhou Xu from thinking that she was intentionally trying to intimidate her.
Zhong Miao Yi sighed. When she was inside the group of men before, she had never felt that her strength was lacking compared to before. Now, she was no longer as strong as she was in the past.
Ah Jiu supported her out of the bedroom and into the main hall. From afar, they heard the laughter of a lady that sounded like silver bells.
Her gentle voice was a comfort to the ears. No matter how one put it, they wouldn't be able to say such words that were hateful to them.
Zhong Miao Yi did not stop and walked straight in.
She held a cup of tea and a slight smile appeared on her face. When she glanced at Zhong Miao Yi, a trace of panic and happiness flashed across her eyes, and she quickly stood up and bowed towards the Blessed Buddha: "Elder sister is here, I, Su'er, greet elder sister."
She didn't seem like she was unfamiliar with the painting. Her smiling appearance was even more charming than the one depicted in the portrait. However, there was also a hint of the mischievous charm of a young girl, an indescribably pleasing sight.
This showed that the Zhong Miao Yi was a little stiff and clumsy, her smile was also forced out.
After slightly nodding his head, Zhong Miao Yi went over to the main seat and sat down. Shun Chang quickly served tea and Zhong Miao Yi also drank a mouthful in an attempt to conceal his actions, before slowly opening his mouth: "Imperial Consort X, why aren't you resting yet, so why aren't you coming back?"
When she smiled, she revealed her little tiger tooth on the right. Forget about Su Zeyi, even Zhong Miao Yi himself felt like he saw the previous him.
However, Zhou Xu was not just similar to her. She had her own unique temperament, and people would not forget it.
It was rare to see something like this.
"The emperor said that chenqie's complexion reminded him of his older sister's. He wanted chenqie to be his companion and chat with her so that she could be happier." When Zhou Xu spoke, her eyes were smiling like crescent moons, and her slightly tilted head looked extremely cute and cute.
The Zhong Miao Yi listened silently. Was he going to accompany her? Let her be happy? Did Su Zeyi really think that she would be happy like this?
But all of these were not important, now that she was here, regardless of what Su Zeyi had told her, at least from what she could see, Zhou Xu was not a person who hated people.
"Elder sister doesn't like chenqie?" Seeing that Zhong Miao Yi's expression was not too good, the stiff smile from before had already disappeared.
Ah Jiu knew that Zhong Miao Yi had nothing to say, and was afraid that Zhou Xu would misunderstand, and hurriedly said: "What is Imperial Consort X saying, my noble family's health has not been too good these days, so it's hard to avoid tiredness, it's not that we don't like Imperial Consort X."
Only then did Zhou Xu start laughing again, "If elder sister's health isn't good, you must take good care of it. Chenqie will often come to relieve elder sister's boredom, I hope that elder sister won't mind."
Zhong Miao Yi's heart skipped a beat. She was already so unenthusiastic, and Zhou Xu even said that she would come often. She didn't know if it was to be more polite or serious, but she was naturally unwilling in her heart. I'm afraid.
The Ah Jiu saw that the Zhong Miao Yi was silent and was extremely anxious, but she couldn't interrupt her on this kind of thing.
Fortunately, Zhong Miao Yi still felt that she should give the empress dowager some face on the surface, so she nodded her head with a smile and didn't say much.
Ah Jiu heaved a sigh of relief at the side. Zhong Miao Yi could still differentiate between the big picture and her personal feelings. On this point, she felt that Zhong Miao Yi could really endure it.
After going through such a huge change, many people would become very stubborn and eccentric. However, Zhong Miao Yi had been able to endure it.
Perhaps this had something to do with her experience. She was used to bearing such hardships, so she would not be provoked to the point of not being completely naked.
Su Zeyi had greeted her in advance and also discussed with her before. At that time, Zhong Miao Yi would already know what he was about to face.
Zhou Xu did not immediately taunt Zhong Miao Yi for anything. She was a cautious person, which was why Second Master Zhou liked her the most.
The reason why he let her enter the palace was for the benefit of the second branch. In addition, the empress dowager liked it and felt that it was worth it. Second Master Zhou weighed the pros and cons several times before letting Zhou Fu come.
The facts proved that this was the right decision. Su Zeyi was indeed attracted by Zhou Xu, and after seeing too much of Zhong Miao Yi's cold face, with Zhou Xu suddenly appearing in front of him, Su Zeyi could not remain indifferent.
The Zhong Miao Yi was clear about this, and Zhou Xu was clear as well. Only a fool would not know if a man liked the way he looked at her.
Thus, Zhou Yan would definitely take advantage of Su Zeyi's liking. He would not be like the Zhong Miao Yi, and immerse himself in his own world.
"Sister has always been by the side of the emperor, and this is sister's first time in the capital. Before this, she will always be raised in a small place, and there are many rules that she doesn't understand, and she doesn't have much experience. In the future, if there are any inappropriate things, I hope Sister can bring up sister a little bit more." Zhou Xu was truly a woman who was very good at talking and acting like a human being.
No matter what happened in the past in Zhong Miao Yi, and whether she was favored or not, she would not reveal her true thoughts in front of the Zhong Miao Yi.
Zhou Yu was very clear that the grace and honor of this palace was due to you being the person you are today. Who knows if the Zhong Miao Yi will suddenly be favored one day?
Could it be that the previous dynasty's princess, who was able to keep Su Zeyi under so much pressure, was actually what she was seeing now?
Impossible, Zhou Xu had heard quite a few stories about how Su Zeyi wanted to have her in his past life, and now, he wanted to keep her. She was the daughter of an intelligent person, so Zhou Xu naturally wouldn't be too stupid.
The relationship between Su Zeyi and Zhong Miao Yi was definitely not that simple. Him being a little more friendly and respectful to Zhong Miao Yi was definitely only good for him and not bad.
Otherwise, why didn't the emperor send her to the empress dowager's palace? Why did he want her to accompany Zhong Miao Yi? You still say that?
Zhou Xu more or less already had her own plans and thoughts.
