Chapter 239: The Queen's Blood Jade
In the Queen's Palace, the ladies of all families gathered here, in addition to the ladies, the crown prince and several princes in the palace also came.
The queen in a gorgeous costume sat on the main seat, gentle and elegant, although she was already in her forties, she was well maintained, and she still had charm, and the majesty and luxury exuded by her body made her not lose to these young ladies present.
"This banquet hasn't started yet, it's rare that you have the heart to come and see this old mother in this palace. Empress Murong Yurong said with a smile, even her voice was soft and majestic.
"Queen Mother, where are you old? Look at it, your skin is better than Ning Yue's!" Princess Ning Yue snuggled up to the queen's side, coquettishly flattering, and this statement immediately attracted the echo of others.
"Yes, yes! In front of the queen mother, all people, even the most colorful peony flowers, are a little inferior!" Mu Wanru smiled like a flower, because she was the prince's side concubine, so she and the queen mother walked very closely, and always knew how to figure out the queen's preferences, the queen mother loved peony flowers, of course she had to do what she liked.
The queen mother was in a very good mood, and she glanced at Princess Ning Yue and Mu Wanru dotingly, "As far as you can say nice things!" However, after being with you young people for a long time, this palace also feels a lot younger, I want this palace to say, I will really get together more in the future, everyone will be happy together, you ......guys!
"That's it, you see, how happy the queen is with you young people, you little girl dolls, you have to come to play often. "Following the words of the queen mother, it is Wan Guifei, although the queen is the emperor's favorite and most favored, but in addition to the queen, it is Wan Guifei who has won the emperor's deepest meaning.
"Haha, Sister Wan said yes! You often come to see this palace, and this palace is very happy. Queen Murong Yurong said with a smile.
"Sister Queen, at today's peony palace banquet, the concubine heard that the emperor specially gave her sister a piece of rare blood jade, carved into the shape of a peony, I don't know if the concubines and the ladies have the honor to feast their eyes on what this rare blood jade given by the emperor looks like!"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present was eager to try, they all heard about the emperor's gift of blood jade, if they were lucky enough to see it, then this peony banquet was really not in vain.
Looking at the envious eyes of everyone, the queen has decided to take out the blood jade to show off, so that everyone can admire it, but she raised her eyebrows and deliberately said: "It's just a thing outside the body, as long as it is given by the emperor, even if it is a stone, this palace will be regarded as a treasure!"
"The queen mother, you are sympathetic to all of us, let us feast our eyes! The emperor's favor for the queen mother is naturally unusual!" Mu Wanru echoed, and then the other ladies of the family, and even the concubines of the palaces also made a request, and those concubines knew in their hearts that in this palace, the real most favored is the queen, not Wan Guifei, and now even Wan Guifei is currying favor with the queen mother, and they have to work harder to cater to it.
From beginning to end, Mu Yueli, who was sitting in the corner, quietly paid attention to the situation, and the corners of her mouth raised a touch of sarcasm, it seems that this Mu Wan is like a real trick here, now only she knows, they want to see if the blood jade is fake, and the real purpose is to make her blood stain this place!
Mu Yueli raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Concubine Wan, and her heart was clear, she suddenly mentioned that she wanted to see the blood jade, I'm afraid it's not as simple as a coincidence!
The queen shook her head helplessly when she heard what everyone said, "Okay, if this palace hides it again, I'm afraid it will make you jealous, Shuang'er, go and get the blood jade that the emperor gave to this palace." ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go. Shuang'er was blessed and was about to turn away, but heard the queen mother speak again.
"But be careful, don't break it. The queen explained.
Shuang'er took the order to go down, and the people who stayed behind were gossiping while waiting for Aunt Shuang'er to bring up the blood jade, but after a while, Shuang'er came back in a hurry, with a panicked face, "Queen Mother... ”
The queen frowned slightly, Shuang'er has been by her side for many years, and has been advancing and retreating in a certain way, it is not an ordinary thing, she will not be so flustered, and the queen has a bad premonition in her heart at the moment, "What's wrong?"
Shuang'er's eyes flashed, and he glanced at everyone present, and finally took a few steps forward, leaned over and whispered a few words in the queen's ear.
With a snap, the queen's face changed abruptly, and she slapped the table hard, and everyone present was shocked!
"Sister, what's going on?" Wan Guifei asked suspiciously, but a traceless light flashed in her eyes, so restrained that people couldn't grasp it.
The queen's face was already pale, and she glanced at everyone present coldly, thinking of what Shuang'er said just now, the blood jade was gone? How could it not be gone? She had seen it herself last night, but now it was gone! No! This was something given to her by the emperor, and she absolutely could not lose it!
"Find, quickly find it for the palace, you must find it!" The queen mother can't care a lot, now finding the blood jade is the most important thing!
"Sister Queen, is it because the blood jade is lost?" Wan Guifei exclaimed in surprise, this guess made everyone stunned. If the queen catches stealing the blood jade, then he must not be executed on the spot.
Seeing the anxiety on the queen's face, Concubine Wan immediately stepped forward to comfort her, "Sister, don't worry, today's peony banquet is full of people, and there are many people in and out of the queen's palace. ”
"Yes, search, look who is so bold to dare to take my mother's things! If you find it, this princess will definitely cut off her hand!" Princess Ning Yue roared loudly, with an angry face.
"Queen Mother, search ......"
"Queen Mother, let's start with the courtiers!"
For a while, everyone present echoed it, the blood jade was not on their bodies, of course they would not worry, and they were happy to watch a good show.
Only Mu Yueli lowered her head, wondering what Mu Wanru was thinking of to deal with her, until Aunt Shuang'er's voice sounded above her head, "Third Miss Zuo Xiangfu, it's your turn!"
