Chapter 149: It's still a step too late
It has been a few days since the queen talked to Chu Nanyue about recognizing a righteous woman.
The queen never mentioned it again, nor did she tell the emperor about it, thinking that she really let go of this idea.
As a result, the general's mansion slowly calmed down, and just when Chu Nanyue was about to forget about it, the queen came to invite again.
When Qingshuang handed the invitation to Chu Nanyue, she was a little anxious: "General, it won't be the same as last time, the queen hasn't changed her mind, right?" ”
"No, it won't." Chu Nanyue said, "The queen's attitude was obvious that day, since Her Royal Highness the Sixth has said things so clearly, the queen will definitely not force this matter again." ”
Saying that, Chu Nanyue took the invitation, and after reading the content carefully, the corners of her lips hooked up with a smile: "It turned out that the queen felt that it was inconsiderate to mention it rashly last time, so she deliberately set up a banquet to apologize." ”
Chu Nanyue never thought that the queen would do this job, in fact, the mother of a country, as long as she doesn't mention it again, it is enough. And now she wants to apologize to Chu Nanyue, which is worthy of the queen's demeanor.
Qingshuang was still feeling aggrieved for Chu Nanyue before, but when she heard the words now, she was anxious to pull Chu Nanyue back to the house to make up.
In the afternoon.
Chu Nanyue and Qingshuang went to the palace for a banquet.
Kunning Palace.
The queen has already set up a banquet, and today's banquet is very small, but the queen and Xie Yinhua are sitting on the table.
So after Chu Nanyue took a seat, she felt uncomfortable again.
"General Chu, this palace spoke abruptly and lacked consideration a few days ago, today I specially apologized to General Chu, and please rest assured that General Chu did not let General Chu be disloyal and unfilial." The queen said kindly.
Chu Nanyue hurriedly stood up and said, "The queen is serious, the matter has passed, and the last general also understands that the mother's intentions are good." This misunderstanding has long been ignored by the general. ”
When the queen heard her words be appropriate, she nodded, pulled Xie Yinhua up again, and said with a slight reproach: "Hua'er, this child, is young and has a simple idea, in the end, she came up with this idea, and let her apologize today." ”
Xie Yinhua had probably been reprimanded by the queen, and when she heard this, she obediently lowered her eyes and said to Chu Nanyue: "General Chu, I was wrong." ”
Although Chu Nanyue heard Xie Yinhua's extreme reluctance, she also took the opportunity to say: "Miss Xie, take a seat, this is just a trivial matter, and it can't be so serious." ”
Her consideration is for the queen, not Xie Yinhua.
"That's it." The queen laughed. "This palace is worried that you have a misunderstanding, and now it will be solved once it is resolved."
It turned out that it was still for the Xie family and Xie Yinhua, Chu Nanyue knew it in her heart.
Just because she is an official in the court, the queen is worried that because she is dissatisfied with this matter and dissatisfied with Xie Yinhua's initiative to bring up the idea, she may turn against her family.
The queen is not apologizing for Xie Yinhua, this is paving the way for the stability of the Xie family.
And the matter of accepting Chu Nanyue as a righteous daughter has not been completed after all, since this is the case, after inviting Chu Nanyue to a banquet, if Chu Nanyue continues to not let go of this matter, it will be a small belly and chicken intestines, and his mind will not tolerate people.
Once he understood that the queen's purpose today was not from personal sincerity, Chu Nanyue was inevitably disappointed.
And because there were few people at the table and there was little conversation, it didn't take long for it to become embarrassing.
Xie Yinhua took the initiative to take a walk outside, and it happened that after the queen had eaten, she felt that she had accumulated food, so she responded immediately, and several people took a walk outside together.
And when she walked through a small pavilion, the queen was tired, so she sat in the pavilion and rested for a while.
Chu Nanyue was about to sit down, but when she saw Xie Yinhua's hinted gesture, although she frowned, she still stood up and walked with Xie Yinhua to the outside of the pavilion.
Beyond the small pavilion is an open pond with a stone bridge above the waves.
Xie Yinhua led Chu Nanyue to stand on the stone bridge, and when she saw that she was far enough away from the queen's pavilion, she said with a sour expression: "Sixth brother helped you that day, you are very proud?" ”
"What?" Chu Nanyue said.
"What else are you pretending to be high?" Xie Yinhua said coldly, "When my aunt's personal palace maid went to find the sixth brother that day, wasn't he just accompanying you to visit the Imperial Garden?" Sixth brother has always disliked this, if you don't pester him, will he be like this? ”
Chu Nanyue listened to her jealous tone, and she really didn't bother to explain, and said, "Miss Xie's imagination is too rich, so let's do whatever you want." ”
"You!" Xie Yinhua felt more and more that Chu Nanyue was showing off, and said angrily: "You are really a shameless person, why do you say that the sixth brother is thinking about his aunt, he is so anxious to dissuade his aunt, doesn't he just want to become a brother and sister with you?" In order to climb up to the sixth brother, you are still stammering with your aunt, what a good means. ”
"Miss Xie, I don't believe you can't feel it, no matter what it is, the queen mother is instinctively towards you." Chu Nanyue said lightly.
"But my aunt has already reprimanded me for you!" Xie Yinhua said angrily.
Chu Nanyue felt speechless in her heart, regretting that the queen had raised Xie Yinhua for more than ten years, but Xie Yinhua didn't see the queen's hard work.
It is not so much a reprimand as a reprimand. It is estimated that there is no one in the world who can hope for Xie Yinhua's growth more than the queen.
One or two words of persuasion can set off such a big wave here Xie Yinhua, which shows how pampered and proud Xie Yinhua is on weekdays.
"Chu Nanyue, you don't have to make this kind of sober appearance that only you are." Xie Yinhua said angrily, "I have been in the palace since I was a child, and my aunt is closer than my own mother, I only know that I must not let my aunt disappoint me." ”
Chu Nanyue didn't know why: "Then Miss Xie should accept her own temperament and learn to share her worries for the queen." ”
But Xie Yinhua stopped talking, just looked at the queen's pavilion. The queen was probably a little sleepy, and was resting there.
Xie Yinhua turned his head to stare at Chu Nanyue, and a trace of resoluteness flashed in his eyes.
Chu Nanyue instinctively felt that something was wrong, and his body was slightly away from Xie Yinhua, but he was still a step too late!
Xie Yinhua grabbed her wrist violently, snatched the bracelet away, and then turned over and jumped off the bridge and fell into the water.
For a moment, Chu Nanyue's head was extremely sober. She knew what the hesitation represented at this time, and she also knew that Xie Yinhua would soon call for help, and then blame herself as the culprit.
The next moment, Chu Nanyue's heart was crossed, and he also jumped into the water.
"Auntie...... Ahem...... Help me! Xie Yinhua was already struggling in the water, desperately calling for help.
When she was in the palace, she also learned a little water, which is why she dared to take risks.
Compared with her, Chu Nanyue seemed even more at a loss.
Because he has only been fighting for many years, Chu Nanyue has not had time to learn this. At the moment when he jumped into the pool, Chu Nanyue was full of thoughts about how to clear his suspicions, but he didn't expect his body to be so heavy in the water.
Chu Nanyue tried to call for help like Xie Yinhua, but the water in her mouth kept choking, and she could only keep struggling, trying not to sink.
