There was a saying that was widely spread throughout the capital.

An official should never provoke Su Zeyi, but it was hard to find a Zhong Miao Yi.

A year ago, no one dared to sing this song again, and the only one who dared to babble away at the palace was her Zhong Miao Yi.

The palace maid Xiao Yao had painted her exquisite makeup. The graceful and beautiful lady in the bronze mirror made her feel that she was unfamiliar and familiar with it.

"The beauty of a princess must be the most dazzling thing in the palace banquet today." Xiao Yao was still young, but her culinary skills were very good. She shook her head and gave the Zhong Miao Yi a hairpin as she walked up.

A year ago, she was only the top courtesan, but now, with a shake of her body, she had become the little daughter that the Emperor doted on the most.

She had experienced the meaning of 'the world is unpredictable', so she often felt sarcastic about it.

Actually, she didn't love these beads of jade. In the past, she wore very little and despised these things to the point that her hair hurt. At that time, even if she wore plain clothes and walked onto the stage with light makeup, the shouts of the powerful nobles below would still be the same.

Xiao Yao carried her out the door. The palace banquet was still at night, so they decided to stay at An Ping's residence, which was filled with the moonlight from the lotus pond.

She slowly made her way over, just in time to avoid the time when the ladies were most enthusiastic.

Zhong Miao Yi didn't like the way the female servants looked at her, and didn't like talking to them either. Therefore, the best way was to avoid awkward situations such as this.

The carriage stopped by the north gate. The palace path, which was not too wide, was crowded because of the carriage. The eunuch who was driving the carriage came over and gave her a nice beating when he saw her coming out.

Along the way, just by listening to the sounds of the people outside changing, without even lifting the curtain, Zhong Miao Yi could already tell where they were going.

The capital was bustling with prosperity, and all the twists and turns in the streets had long ago become a fortress in her mind.

The carriage had been gone for a long time, so Zhong Miao Yi leaned against the carriage and fell into a deep slumber. The laughter of An Ping Village's people could be heard from a long distance away.

"Stop the car." She instructed the eunuch who was driving the horse. Xiao Yao did not know what she was doing and quickly followed the Zhong Miao Yi out of the carriage.

"Princess, we are still at the outskirts of the city, we still have a long way to go." Xiao Yao followed Zhong Miao Yi's gaze. Not far in front of him were the female servants who were picking the flowers.

Her delicate face was especially enchanting when compared to the sea of flowers.

It wasn't because of these beautiful girls that she got off the car, and she didn't want to get close to them. It was just because she had never seen such a beautiful scenery before.

A refreshing fragrance filled her lungs. The corners of her mouth curled up as the gloom in her heart finally eased somewhat.

Zhong Miao Yi walked slowly. When she arrived at the large plaza outside the other manor, almost everyone was already there. From afar, the pavilions and pavilions were covered in colorful silk. Below them, there was a dazzling array of handsome men and beautiful women. There was a constant stream of joyous chatter and laughter.

The Zhong Miao Yi watched from afar for a while. Xiao Yao didn't know what she was looking at, so she didn't dare to disturb him until the eunuch by the emperor's side came over and told her that the emperor wanted her to go over. Only then did she slowly walk towards the largest Water Circle Pavilion.

"Miao Yi, why have you just arrived?"

She had her own special spot, unfortunately, it was right next to Imperial Consort De.

The Emperor waved at her as if he were staring at her, and as soon as she sat down, the Emperor knew.

Without waiting for Zhong Miao Yi to speak, Imperial Consort De took the lead: "Your majesty, the princess is at the age where flowers are like jade. It is normal for so many young masters and mistresses of the same age as us to arrive late."

Hearing this, the Emperor nodded and instructed the Zhong Miao Yi to bring a plate of fruit.

"The Princess might have seen that Young Master of the Tang Clan outside and talked too much with him. Doesn't he have his own style when it comes to men?" Imperial Consort De ridiculed her while covering the corner of her mouth and laughing.

Zhong Miao Yi ignored her, and coldly turned her head to ask Xiao Yao to bring her a cup of tea. Imperial Consort De was ignored, and she was already unhappy, causing her to be even angrier.

"Heh, I heard that Princess Miao Yi is a beauty who was carved from the same mold as the Imperial Consort Zhong back then? However, the princess has now entered the palace and has always followed her mother's surname. In the end, it is not a long term plan. " Imperial Consort De, who had been exceptionally favored by the Imperial Consort De all these years, stung Zhong Miao Yi strangely, but she did not know how to hide the contempt in her eyes.

She did not want to offend Imperial Consort De, but she was also not a person who could be taken lightly, "This name of mine has been called this way since birth. royal father cherishes it, so it has been reserved and continues to be used.

When Imperial Consort De saw that the Zhong Miao Yi had come back, she immediately raised her eyebrows and sat upright, laughing coldly: "Look at how a woman is born. Look at your body which is covered in the smell of common powder, and you still have the face to come back to the palace.

"Say less!" The Emperor stopped her with a low shout, his face cold. The Emperor's scolding made Imperial Consort De glare at her with even more dissatisfaction. She lowered her eyes, not wanting to face the Imperial Consort De's provocative gaze.

Even though there weren't many people who knew about what had happened back then and were suppressed intentionally, Imperial Consort De knew about it. The proud and arrogant Imperial Consort De was scolded by the Emperor when she made things difficult for Zhong Miao Yi and suffered a huge blow. She probably never thought that things would turn out like this, and she always had to say a few harsh words whenever she saw Zhong Miao Yi.

Zhong Miao Yi did not care much about this matter, and there were even more unbearable words. She was already used to listening to them, and did not miss a word or two from Imperial Consort De today.

Imperial Consort De had always disliked her, and she felt uncomfortable sitting here. She told Xiao Yao that she wanted to go for a walk, and Xiao Yao immediately stopped her.

"I'll be by myself for a while." She stood up and left on her own, walking out of a side door with fewer people around. Not many people noticed her.

When she walked to the door, Zhong Miao Yi saw a strange shadow from the corner of her eyes. She did not expect that there was someone standing next to the pillar with dim eyes, it was obvious that he saw her as well.

The figure of light was blurry, Zhong Miao Yi could only see a few outlines, but she was still able to recognize the person accurately.

Su Zeyi stood there without moving an inch. The expression in his eyes did not change at all, and Zhong Miao Yi's mind was in a mess for a few seconds, as he did not know if he had heard what she had said to him just now.

Zhong Miao Yi calmed her mood a little and politely walked to an area an arm's length away from him. She faced Su Zeyi and respectfully greeted him: "Lord Su."

With that, she got up and prepared to leave.

Su Zeyi took a step forward, reached out his hand, pulled Zhong Miao Yi who was about to turn around and leave, and pushed her against the corner of the wall.
