Chapter 300: What are you afraid of?
Mai Sui felt that the queen's words sounded harsh, and seeing that her master did not intend to answer, she frowned and was anxious in her heart.
I'm really afraid of something, the master has just sat down, and the queen has come to find trouble.
In the eyes of others, Su Xi's silence was a tacit acquiescence to the queen's statement.
The concubines and the nobles sat in their places, and when they heard the queen say this, they couldn't help but secretly look at them, some gloating, some not knowing why, and all kinds of expressions were intertwined.
The queen hooked her lips and walked back to her place to sit down again, in a good mood.
Look, the emperor and the queen mother are not there, and the little goblins dare not speak.
Concubine Ming sat on the lower side of Su Xi and helped in a timely manner: "Although the concubine Niangniang has not been in the palace for a long time, she has won the emperor's favor alone, but our sisters can't learn her tricks that can coax the emperor, so looking at the entire harem, only the concubine Niangniang is the most blessed person, I really envy the concubine's good looks and ingenuity." ”
The implication is that she charms the monarch with her beauty and monopolizes grace, and as a concubine, she doesn't know how to balance the harem, so she is really pampered and proud.
Su Xi still didn't speak.
Mai Sui was anxious, but she was not qualified to speak at all on this occasion, so she could only be anxious in her heart.
Everyone also felt that Su Xi had acquiesced in Concubine Ming's words.
The most proud are the concubines who don't deal with Su Xi because of their favor, with bright smiles on their beautiful faces.
Only Concubine Wen, who was sitting next to Concubine Ming, was still wearing a pale yellow dress today, but every time the Luo skirt was a different embroidery, she shook the fan in her hand and raised her eyebrows to look away, she still looked like she had nothing to do with herself, but her eyes were filled with a thousand colors of glass that were not easy to notice.
With just a few words, the atmosphere in the hall became delicate.
The key is that everyone saw that Su Xi was just burying his head in the melon seeds, and did not refute it.
unanimously believes that she must be weak and unconfident, and she can't excuse herself.
The eyes cast on Su Xi also became different, as if they were looking at the eyes of a fox spirit who brought disaster to the country and the people.
From ancient times to the present, there have been many such disasters registered in order to warn future generations, which is a great taboo in the country.
Unexpectedly, there is one now!
After being provoked by the queen and Concubine Ming, Su Xi was pushed to the forefront in an instant.
Their hearts were proud.
At this time, if Su Xi does not refute, it is a tacit acquiescence, even if he refutes, it is still no silver here.
More courtiers waited for an opportunity to stand up and said bluntly: "The balance of the harem can stabilize the previous dynasty, this is the case in all dynasties, the concubine Niangniang was born in a famous family, this truth Niangniang should understand, but it is not strange, after all, Niangniang was born in Nancheng, and later moved to Kyoto, Nancheng is a little more remote, customs and etiquette seem very casual, and Niangniang's biological mother died early....."
The man's words did not continue, but the meaning was already clearly there.
The implication is that Su Xi is not sensible and does not know how to balance the exclusive grace of the harem.
And that person also exonerated her with a high-sounding generosity, blaming everything on everything because she was a country girl from Nancheng, not as good as a famous family in Kyoto, and she was still a mother without a mother, lacking education.
Su Xi stopped eating melon seeds, raised his eyes, and finally had some reaction.
When the concubines saw her, her eyes moved slightly, and they couldn't help but deepen the smile on the corners of their lips.
