At the Qiao family's banquet, Qiao Jinniang had been used to being complimented by everyone.
During the banquet, someone mentioned that the eldest daughter of the Zhou family had returned to Luoyang.
Then the people began to talk about the Zhou sisters, who were very famous in Chang'an twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago, His Majesty had been on the throne for nearly ten years, but the Zhou family held nearly one-fifth of the military power of the country, which put the royal family on alert.
At that time, the Zhou family was in their heyday. The two daughters of the Zhou family were as beautiful as immortals, and the matchmakers who came to propose marriage almost stepped flat the threshold of the Zhou family's door.
But things changed when Imperial Concubine Zhou died of a serious illness.
The Zhou sisters went into the imperial palace to express their condolences and met Emperor Huilin.
