"Ahem, now I announce that the first project of the talent show is——," Zhu Zi, who was "entrusted with an important task" for the first time, coughed twice and pretended to be serious. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, he no longer kept everyone in suspense under the anxious gazes and said, "Painting."

"painting?"

"What to draw?"

“Why do you want to paint?”

This project obviously exceeded everyone's expectations, and the people around were whispering and making noisy noises. Liu Qingyu tilted her head and stared, thinking quietly, without saying a word. Zhang Yu'an, who was standing by, saw this and became suspicious. He quietly pulled Sun Qianjie's sleeve and signaled her with his eyes to look at Liu Qingyu. Sun Qianjie understood and looked over immediately. After just one glance, she frowned and leaned close to Zhang Yu'an's ear, whispering, "After all, she came from a small family. She can't hide her desire to be in the limelight. I wonder what bad things she is planning?"

The voice was small but extremely harsh. Liu Qingyu heard it. After all, she was the one who replaced Miss Du Ruo and obtained the qualification for the selection with the recommendation of Prime Minister Du. She was angry at the moment but could not show it, so she just pretended not to hear it.

Unexpectedly, not only did their whispering behavior not stop, but it became worse, and the more they talked, the louder they got. Zhang Yu'an couldn't help laughing when he heard Sun Qianjie's complaints, and excitedly pulled her arm and responded: "Who said it wasn't true? Some people just know a person's face but not his heart. They usually pretend to have the best relationship with others, but you never know when they will stab someone in the back. Poor young lady, she was fooled around by a maid, it's really sad."

Liu Qingyu couldn't stand it anymore and glared at them, but it didn't put out the flames of war, but added fuel to the fire. Sun Qianjie immediately leaned into Zhang Yu'an's arms, pretending to be scared, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister, she glared at me, it's really scary."

Because of the impact of Liu Qingyu's nonsense on Princess Le Yan's reputation in the hunting ground, Zhu Zi was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Qingyu, so she turned a blind eye to this harmless little fight, and even had a mentality of watching the show. This was the first time she was "entrusted with an important task" and made the announcement alone, so she was still complacent in her arrogant state. Now when she realized that things were about to get out of control, it was too late to control it.

Before Zhu Zi could even open her mouth, Liu Qingyu had already started to fight back. She replied sarcastically, "Who glared at you? Is there anyone here who saw it? Miss Sun, could it be that you have done too many bad things in your daily life, so you feel guilty? You have done many things in the back, so now you think everyone is the same as you!"

Sun Qianjie was naturally not afraid. Upon hearing this, she jumped out of Zhang Yu'an's arms and switched to the "combat" state in a second, like a fox with its fur standing on end. Without thinking twice, she snorted coldly and retorted, "Humph, Miss Liu is really forgetful. If your memory is as good as your ability to put the blame on someone, you will remember that what is true cannot be false and what is false cannot be true. Oh, after all, we live under the same roof, so I kindly remind you not to act too seriously as Miss Du, lest you completely forget who you are! You are just Prime Minister Du's adopted daughter. You are still surnamed Liu."

Just as Liu Qingyu was about to retort, Sun Qianjie immediately took over without giving her a chance to speak: "Hehe, let me remind you in advance, no matter how good your relationship with Miss Du was in the past, you can't pick up everything she doesn't want. Even the best beggars can be picky sometimes, unlike Miss Liu who is so greedy."

"Okay, stop talking!" Zhu Zi shouted, but no one seemed to pay attention. Everyone surrounded them and followed the subsequent developments with gossip.

Liu Qingyu was so angry that she rushed forward and grabbed Sun Qianjie's collar, ignoring Gao Rulan's attempt to stop her. This sudden move was obviously beyond her expectations. She yelled and quickly reacted by grabbing Liu Qingyu's wrist with her backhand and pulling her hairpin with her other hand.

Seeing this difficult situation, Zhang Yu'an couldn't bear to see his sister get hurt, so he ran and jumped on Liu Qingyu without hesitation, pulling her hand hard in an attempt to separate the two.

The people watching the excitement were also panicking. Gao Rulan wanted to step forward to stop the fight, but she couldn't find a good opportunity. Meng Zhu looked calm and stood still in the best viewing position. Gu Yanxia beside her whispered, "Princess Meng Zhu came from afar. I'm really sorry for letting you see such a scene."

Meng Zhu tilted his head and looked at her with a puzzled expression on his face, and asked, "Your expression is not a smile, this should not be an expression of apology."

Gu Yanxia pinched the back of her hand hard, her body trembling slightly, the expression on her face was hard to describe, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I know, but this scene is really wonderful. If I had known that entering the palace would be so fun, I wouldn't have opposed my father and packed my bags and came here early."

As for Concubine Xia, she now calls her Yun Gu and follows Meng Zhu to take care of her. She has never seen such a scene since she entered the palace at a young age. Although she is panicked, she can't help but watch. She has lived in the nameless palace for many years since she entered the palace. What's happening outside makes her confused and curious.

Seeing the situation escalating and the noise getting louder, Zhu Zi, standing outside the crowd, could only shout weakly: "Stop fighting, stop fighting." But it had little effect. Seeing that she could no longer control the situation, she began to panic.

Fortunately, Zhu Ying was worried about Zhu Zi going out on the mission alone, so she tried to persuade Wan Tao to go with her to take a look. She heard the noise from a long distance away and blurted out, "Oh no." Then she pulled Wan Tao and walked forward quickly.

After all, she was older and more steady in her work. When she approached the door, Zhu Ying quickly tidied up her clothes which were ruffled by her fast pace, changed into a serious expression like a manager next to the princess, and walked in slowly.

Wan Tao also cooperated and shouted to the crowd, "How shameful!"

The people on the outside were the first to notice and immediately scattered, revealing the few people in the center of the storm. Gao Rulan cried like a pear blossom in the rain, her voice was charming and soft, she cried: "Sister, I am scared, sister Zhu Ying, when will the beautiful princess sister come?"

"Don't worry, Miss Gao. I will tell the princess the truth about what happened today. She is just very busy recently and will come to Jade Butterfly Palace when she is free." Zhu Ying paused for a moment, and her eyes quickly scanned everyone at the scene like a surveillance camera. She immediately understood about 70% of the situation and deliberately asked, "Now, could you please tell me what happened just now so that I can go back and report to the princess."

The few people who were unwilling to accept the defeat immediately lowered their heads, their hair was messy, and their makeup was no longer delicate. They kept silent, waiting for the other party to speak first, thinking about how to refute.
