After being struck by lightning and being in the world of women

Zhong Qihuang said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, Fifth Sister is right. We women are upright and have our own ways of doing things."

Zhong Ruhuang could tell that Zhong Qihuang was being perfunctory, but she pretended not to hear it.

"Sixth Princess thinks so too?"

"Uh-huh."

"Yep."

Zhong Qihuang was perfunctory with Zhong Ruhuang all the way, and when they finally arrived at the Imperial Garden, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The fifth princess is so honest, too honest.

If it wasn't for a coincidence, she really didn't want to trick the fifth princess.

After all, the fifth princess does not have the ability to compete for the throne, nor does she have any power.

It is now June, the time of spring when flowers bloom, trees are green and butterflies are flying.

The imperial concubine Xiao Jin invited many people to attend his flower-viewing banquet, and most of the families who came brought their own male children of appropriate age.

Especially when they heard that the eldest princess and her family would also attend the flower-viewing banquet, these families became very enthusiastic.

After all, among the eight princesses, the most honorable ones are the eldest princess Zhong Sihuang and the fourth princess Zhong Chenhuang, who were born to Emperor Zhaoxian.

They were born as legitimate children, which makes them different from those born out of wedlock.

No matter how much Emperor Showa loved the sixth princess, Zhong Qihuang, who was born to the imperial concubine Xiao Jin, it could not change the fact that she was a concubine's daughter.

"Fifth sister, we have arrived at the Imperial Garden. Let's go find the eldest sister and the others."

Zhong Qihuang glanced at the attic not far away and suggested.

Zhong Ruhuang is an honest person, but that doesn't mean she is really a fool, and her martial arts skills are there for everyone to see.

If she hadn't been caught off guard on the sixth day of the New Year and accidentally taken Chinese medicine, she would never have been tricked.

Today she was on guard.

Ever since Zhong Qihuang appeared in her yard and dragged her to the flower-viewing banquet, her vigilance was raised to the extreme.

When Zhong Qihuang looked into the attic, she discovered it.

On the surface, she seemed to know nothing.

"Then let's go. The eldest princess and her friends like to go to the Listening Pavilion to listen to music. I guess they are there now."

"Fifth sister is right. Eldest sister and the others like to go to the Listening Pavilion the most."

Listening Pavilion is one of the attics in the Imperial Garden. The male dancers inside are very talented and are good at playing various musical instruments and singing.

There were several young servants who were former dancers in Emperor Showa's harem.

The two went to Lingyin Pavilion.

In the Lingyin Pavilion, the second princess Zhong Tonghuang and the third princess Zhong Jinhuang arrived, as did the seventh princess Zhong Feihuang and the eighth princess Zhong Zhenhuang.

Zhong Ruhuang and the Sixth Princess Zhong Qihuang entered the Lingyin Pavilion and first saluted the Second Princess and the Third Princess.

"Greetings to the Second and Third Sisters."

The Seventh Princess and the Eighth Princess saluted the two of them.

"Greetings to the Fifth and Sixth Sisters."

After a round of formalities, they sat down according to age.

The seat in the center of the upper seat was vacant. It was reserved for Emperor Showa, in case she came and sat there.

The ancients respected the left, and the first seat on the left was empty. This was the seat of the eldest princess, Zhong Qihuang.

Opposite her, in the first seat on the upper right, sat the second princess, Zhong Tonghuang.

The second one from the left at the top is the Third Princess Zhong Jinhuang. Opposite her is the Fourth Princess Zhong Chenhuang's seat, which is also vacant.

The third person sitting on the left is Zhong Ruhuang, and opposite Zhong Ruhuang is the sixth princess Zhong Qihuang.

Next to Zhong Ruhuang is the seventh princess Zhong Feihuang, and opposite to the seventh princess Zhong Feihuang is the eighth princess Zhong Zhenhuang.

The eldest princess hasn't arrived yet, so the oldest one is the second princess, Zhong Tonghuang.

The father of the second princess Zhong Tonghuang is Zhao Guifu Zhao, and her aunt is the general Zhao Yun.

Because Zhao Guifu had an ordinary face, he was not favored by Emperor Showa, and the second princess was also not very favored by Emperor Showa. Fortunately, her father's family was powerful, so no one in the palace bothered her.

The second princess, Zhong Tonghuang, has a gentle personality and pretty face. She inherited her father's outstanding scholarly air and looks very approachable.

She is nice to her younger sisters, but her relationship with the eldest princess and the fourth princess is average.

It's just so-so, naturally.

Emperor Showa has not appointed a Crown Princess yet, and the position is vacant. The other princesses are eyeing the position covetously, hoping to become the Crown Princess themselves.

Even the Second Princess is determined to get the position of Crown Princess.

Especially as her younger sisters grew up, the second princess felt more and more anxious.

At this moment, the second princess was watching the singing and dancing in front of her and glanced at her younger sisters.

To be honest, among the princesses present, except for the fifth sister who has no chance, the other sisters all have powerful fathers' families and are competitors.

Especially the eldest sister and the fourth sister, they are the legitimate daughters, and the empress dowager favors them, so she may have the idea of ​​passing the throne to them.

The second princess, Zhong Tonghuang, had a lot of thoughts in her mind, and she looked gentle and elegant in front of everyone.

The other princesses also had some thoughts in their minds.

Zhong Ruhuang said she was used to this kind of tense scene.

The relationship between the sisters was fine when they were young, but now that they have grown up, all that’s left is a matter of face, and they are not on good terms with each other in heart.

The eldest princess and the fourth princess were born from the same father and have a good relationship. The fourth princess is even the eldest princess's little follower and listens to her very much.

Anyway, this is what Zhong Ruhuang saw on the surface. As for what the Fourth Princess was thinking secretly, only the Fourth Princess herself knew.

Zhong Ruhuang pretended not to feel these undercurrents and enjoyed the singing and dancing seriously.

Anyway, her goal is to be a rich and idle king, and she has no idea about the throne.

She is now looking forward to leaving the palace and setting up her own home, so that she can live her own life behind closed doors.

"All the royal sisters are here. It seems that I am late. I will drink three cups as punishment."

A hearty female voice sounded outside the Listening Pavilion, and then a tall and fit woman walked in. She was wearing a yellow robe with a phoenix pattern and eight yellow tail feathers embroidered on it.

In the female-dominated world of the Qinglan Dynasty, clothing classification is very strict.

As the empress and ruler of the Qinglan Dynasty, Emperor Showa wore a robe with a golden phoenix pattern and nine golden phoenix tail feathers.

The princess's attire was decorated with a yellow phoenix pattern with eight yellow tail feathers.

The eldest princess Zhong Sihuang was wearing her princess robes, not her prince robes.

Her prince's robe was red with a Vermillion Bird pattern, which looked equally noble, but was not as dazzling as the yellow one.

When they saw the eldest princess Zhong Sihuang come in, all the princesses stood up.

"Greetings to the eldest sister/fourth sister/fourth sister."

"Sisters, please sit down and talk. It's a rare opportunity for us sisters to get together."

The words of the eldest princess Zhong Sihuang sounded very refreshing.

Behind the eldest princess Zhong Sihuang is the fourth princess Zhong Chenhuang.

Every time Zhong Ruhuang saw the two sisters, she was amazed.

Because the contrast between the two is too great.

The eldest princess, Zhong Sihuang, is the tallest of all the princesses. She is tall and muscular, over 1.9 meters tall, and looks very heroic. It is said that she looks very much like the late emperor and is the late emperor's most beloved granddaughter. She is definitely the tallest human Zhong Ruhuang has ever seen in this era.

You have to know that in this world, regardless of gender, the height is between 1.7 meters and 1.8 meters. She only saw one person who was 1.9 meters tall.

Zhong Ruhuang herself was only about 1.7 meters tall, and when she stood in front of the eldest princess, she was half a head shorter than her.

The fourth princess, Zhong Chenhuang, is 30% similar to Emperor Zhaoxian, but more like Emperor Showa. She has a square face and looks heroic, but too majestic.
