Chapter 20: Old Madam Chen is angry
Lu Jingzhu's originally smiling face suddenly froze.
"You drew this?" Old Madam Chen's face was gloomy, with an awe-inspiring coldness in her eyes.
Not only Lu Jingzhu, but also the guests present were stunned, obviously this Danqing painting is very good, why is the old lady inexplicably angry?
Lu Guanlan looked at it, but he couldn't help but smile on his lips.
The people next to her naturally didn't know the reason, but after she became the queen back then, she saw such a secret fold in the palace-
Mrs. Chen went to the battlefield when she was young, but she experienced a great defeat, was captured after the battle, and was almost humiliated by the enemy soldiers.
This experience is rarely known, but now His Majesty knows that in order to comfort the Chen family, he gave the Chen family meritorious honor and gave the old lady a decree in accordance with the will of the first emperor.
Naturally, this matter can only be used as a secret in the palace, except for the official family and the Chen family, no one can know.
And the reason why Mrs. Chen is so angry is precisely because the old lady Chen in her painting is wearing enemy armor.
What does that mean? Isn't this an allusion to Mrs. Chen's loss of virginity.
Rao is this logic doesn't make sense, she Lu Jingzhu is a young lady in the boudoir, where can she know such a secret.
But Mrs. Chen is particularly taboo about this matter, how could she think of this layer at this moment, just think that Lu Jingzhu humiliated herself, and naturally she would not save face for Lu Jingzhu.
Lu Jingzhu was also stupid, and he stayed where he was for a while and didn't know how to deal with it.
Song Yuemei thought that her daughter would take this opportunity to shine, but who knew that this old lady Chen suddenly became angry, so she stood up from the banquet, hurriedly walked to her daughter's side, and said with a smile: "The little girl is painting for the first time, her painting skills are clumsy, and she is really ugly. ”
At this time, Mrs. Chen was still angry, and when she saw that the Lu family actually asked an aunt to stand up and speak, her face was even more annoyed, "Why did the Ministry of Etiquette Shangshu let an aunt who couldn't be on the stage come to this banquet, did he look down on our general's mansion, and felt that anyone could come to the old body to shake it?" ”
Song Yuemei originally played a round game, but unexpectedly, she and herself were humiliated by this old lady, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she looked at Lu Bingyan on the male seat, wanting Lu Bingyan to say a word for her mother and son.
Lu Bingyan has always been only praised for not causing trouble, but seeing that he had lost such a big face today, this old lady Chen said ugly words again, and she wanted to stand up and say a few words.
At this time, Cheng Ye, the third prince, who was a spectator, suddenly stood up and bowed slightly towards Old Madam Chen, "Today's old lady's birthday banquet, you really shouldn't be so angry, you hurt your body a lot, and the old lady should dissipate her anger first." ”
Lu Guanlan looked at it coldly, and couldn't help but show a hint of irony in his eyes.
Cheng Ye naturally wanted to help Lu Jingzhu's mother and daughter speak, after all, Lu Bingyan's status in the DPRK was becoming more and more prosperous, and Cheng Ye wanted the Lu family's chess, so how could he not help him.
Lu Jingzhu saw that the third prince actually stood up to speak for himself, his face was slightly red, and with a delicate light in his eyes, he looked at Chengye timidly.
Cheng Ye was amazed by a painting by Lu Jingzhu, and now he sees the beauty and delicateness, and he is interested in himself, so he naturally returns a smile.
"Since the three princes have spoken, the old body will give Shangshufu and the three princes a face, but this Lu family - there is no young lady next to him?" Old Madam Chen naturally couldn't save face in the palace, so she took a step back, but she had a breath in her heart.
"Isn't the eldest lady of the Lu family still there," At this time, Li Duan, who was sitting on the very edge, suddenly spoke.
Lu Guanlan was stunned, turned his head to look at Li Quan, and saw Li Duan looking at him with a smile on his face, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Lu Jingzhu's face changed when he heard this. Today, I originally wanted to make a name for myself and let Lu Guanlan take out the chick picture that was adjusted in advance to make a fool of himself, but now in this situation, if Lu Guanlan is still asked to take out the painting, wouldn't their Lu family add even more laughter.
Song Yuemei also knew about this, but she didn't stop it.
After all, Jingzhu has lost face today, and she Lu Guanlan naturally can't be better.
Old Madam Chen's eyes looked at the seat of the Lu family's daughters, and she saw Lu Guanlan sitting there upright, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with her.
Chen Ruoxuan knew that her grandmother had not yet lost her anger, and she couldn't bear Lu Guanlan's troubles from her grandmother, so she couldn't help but speak: "Look at today's gifts, it's almost time for each family to present their performances, grandmother, you should also rest, it's better to-"
Old Mrs. Chen was willing to listen to her little granddaughter's words, and waved her hand to interrupt: "Why doesn't the Lu family have a person who can be on the stage?" ”
Just when everyone thought that the Lu family would not be able to save face today, and they were afraid that they would have a grudge with the Chen family in the future.
Lu Guanlan got up slowly, stretched out his hand and brushed the hem of the skirt of his clothes, walked to the right room in a curling manner, and bowed to the old lady, "The little girl is not talented, there is no big gift, but she loves to cook tea, if the old lady doesn't like it, please drink the little girl's cup of tea." ”
Mrs. Chen only looked at the child in front of her carefully, and she was a little far away, only to feel that this child's temperament was out of the dust, and now she was close, and then she looked closely, although she was wearing a veil, she could see that she was indeed a delicate girl between her eyebrows and eyes.
