C30 Same Woman, Different Fate.

Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the streets were bustling with people.

Since Su Zijin was going to the palace, she needed to dress up. Su Mu'er stood behind her and held her hair, "Miss, didn't you push me last year? Why did you suddenly decide to participate this time?"

She had heard the mistress mention that the palace was holding a feast, but she felt it was boring. It was more interesting to play hide-and-seek.

Su Zijin sighed, "I don't want to go to the palace, but the emperor specifically asked me to. I can't reject his good intentions."

Who knew what would happen in the palace? She felt that even if she restrained herself, she would still attract attention, especially since she was tied up with the Prince Regent. She would attract more attention in the open and in the dark.

To hold a feast, all the daughters of the families had to go to the palace. She had once guessed that the emperor wanted to choose a successor.

An hour later, Su Zijin appeared in front of the palace. There were two carriages waiting at the entrance. Shen Xiyue whispered into her ear, "Zijin, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival today. Don't cause any trouble. Calm down. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand, Mother." Su Zijin smiled and nodded.

Shen Xiyue patted the back of her hand, "Go."

Su Zijin got into the carriage. Su Taozhi followed behind her. The two carriages headed towards the palace.

At the same time, Zhong Yue and Li Chu were about to enter the palace with Zhou Miao.

The carriages stopped at the entrance of the palace.

No one was exempt from this rule. Thus, all the people who entered the palace would stop their carriages outside the palace and walk in.

When Su Zijin got out of the carriage, she saw a few people who happened to arrive at the same time.

She was the right general, and she was also a member of the Imperial Court. The others also nodded at her, then looked at their daughter. They couldn’t help but turn their heads away from her.

The two generals of the Su family stood at the entrance of the palace, especially the little general, Su Zijin, who made people feel envious and fearful.

On the other hand, Su Zijin couldn’t be bothered with their twists and turns. She lowered her head and straightened her dress. When she saw her father coming over, she followed the Eunuch who was leading the way and left.

There was a very soft voice, but it also fell into the ears of the people present. “Father, is that General Su Zijin?”

Any woman who could stand in the Imperial Court openly was envied by everyone.

The one who spoke was the daughter of the Ministry of Rites official, Yan Hu. She looked at Su Zijin’s disappearing figure, then looked at her weak self and sighed.

Her father didn’t allow her to practice martial arts. As long as she learned the art of the zither, chess, painting, and calligraphy, she would be sent to the palace in the future. They were both women, but their fates were different.

The people’s hearts were all complicated. They didn’t say much and led their daughters who were dressed up to the palace.

Zhong Yuchen and his wife also arrived outside the palace. Because they didn’t usually enter the palace, they also followed the Eunuch.

Everyone arrived at the Hall of Brilliance one after another. Zhongshu Yan had arrived early and kept looking outside the hall. She just wanted to see Chu Junyi.

However, she suddenly saw Su Zijin, who was following behind Su Tao, and her face instantly darkened.

Su Zijin had always been a thorn in her heart, standing between her and Chu Junyi.

Every time she saw Chu Junyi’s eyes on her, she would hate it so much that she never showed up or just disappeared.

As soon as Su Zijin entered the hall, she felt a strong gaze on her. She looked up and was stunned when she saw Zhongshu Yan’s gaze.

No matter how much she disregarded it, she could still feel the unfriendliness in Zhongshu Yan’s eyes.
