Chapter 21: The Queen's Anger

Li Jinyao is very happy today, after finishing her makeup early in the morning and entering the palace with the Li family sisters, everywhere she passed, everyone's eyes were attracted by the flower feather pearl necklace around her neck, and their eyes fell on her, and the three Li family sisters behind her became a foil.

From time to time, there are official ladies who come to watch, and they all praise them.

From time to time, there are also handsome sons who pay attention to it, and the deer in the hearts of those who watch it collide with each other.

Li Jinyao glanced at Li Jinshu behind her, today's Li Jinshu was unusually silent, and her eyes sometimes crossed the necklace around her neck, with an unclear meaning.

She must be jealous! Li Jinyao thought to herself, if it weren't for her own discernment, she took this chain first, and she would have become herself who walked behind as a foil today.

Even if it's Li Jinshu's necklace, she doesn't have the life to wear such luxurious jewelry!

Li Jinyao proudly straightened her neck, making the necklace on her neck more dazzling in the sunlight.

She plucked a flower from the garden and put it in front of her and sniffed it, ah, it smelled so good!

Behind him, a cold inquiry came: "Who are you?" ”

The first to react was Li Jinshu, who hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Say hello to the queen, the queen is blessed with Jin'an." ”

With Li Jinshu's greetings, Li Jinyue and Li Jinmeng also reacted, kneeling down one after another to salute and greet him.

Li Jinyao was the only one left, standing on the spot as if she was stunned.

The eunuch beside the queen mother reprimanded: "The queen mother is asking, don't hurry up and answer!" ”

Li Jinyao hurriedly saluted: "I'...... I'm Li Jinyao. ”

The eunuch drank coldly: "It's really no rules, how can you call yourself me in front of your mother, whose daughter are you, how do you learn the rules?" ”

The eunuch's drink made Li Jinyao even more flustered and nervous, she unconsciously pinched the flowers in her hand to pieces, trembling and not knowing how to answer.

The grandmother beside the queen glanced at the beads on Li Jinyao's neck, understood it, and said: "You girl, not only do you have no rules, but you also crush the mother's beloved flowers, you are guilty!" ”

Li Jinyao felt a little aggrieved: "No, Queen Mother, I'm ...... Courtier, courtier, courtier, did not mean it, and did not know that this was your beloved flower. ”

Mama looked at it coldly and said: "You dare to talk back, it's really unruly, come on, slap your mouth!" ”

The maid accompanying the queen stepped forward, raised her hand high, and fell fiercely, snapping three times, and hitting loudly.

Li Jinyao covered her face and was a little dizzy from being beaten.

Mama asked again: "The queen mother just asked who you are and whose daughter you are, and you don't hurry up to answer!" ”

Li Jinyao's face was hot and painful, grievances and embarrassment were intertwined, she wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to cry, so she had to hold back her tears and said in a trembling voice: "Minister, the courtier's daughter is, it is Li Jinyao, it is the Ministry of Rites, and the foreign man of the Ministry of Rites, Li Chengqi, the daughter of the family." ”

The queen said in a cold voice: "The daughter of the Yuanwailang family is dressed very gorgeously." ”

Li Jinyao was stunned for a moment, glanced at the queen's mother, and saw that her gaze seemed to stay on the bead chain around her neck, and reacted after realizing it, it seems that the queen is interested in this bead chain?

Li Jinyao hurriedly took off the bead chain and held it in her hand: "Queen Mother, the courtiers are willing to dedicate this bead chain to the Queen Mother." ”

Hearing this, Li Jinyue and Li Jinmeng's faces turned pale, and they secretly said bad in their hearts.

Sure enough, the queen was even more displeased when she heard this, and asked in a cold voice: "Dedicated to this palace?" What did you wear to dedicate to Hongu? Do you think that this palace doesn't have it, and it's rare to have your string of beads?! ”

The grandmother next to her stepped forward and kicked the bead chain in Li Jinyao's hand down, and said sharply: "Someone, this woman is disrespectful, she collides with the queen, and she is punished for kneeling here, slapping her mouth!" ”

The palace maid raised her hand high again, Li Jinyao was already crying with a whimper, and Li Jinyue and Li Jinmeng's faces turned pale with fright.

The beads fell to the ground and rolled, and with the snapping sound of the palm, they slowly rolled to the feet of the expressionless Li Jinshu.

The queen's sedan chair had gone away, and the surrounding ladies quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Li Jinyao curiously.

Li Jinyao was still kneeling in place and being beaten, her face was already swollen and high, but the palace maid who was holding her palm did not have the slightest intention of stopping.

Many eyes were intertwined with her, and Li Jinyao felt that not only was her face hot, but her whole body was full of hot and stinging sensations.

Li Jinshu slowly stood up, casually picked up Li Jinmeng and Li Jinyue on both sides, and said, "Let's go." ”

Li Jinmeng looked at Li Jinyao and asked, "We're leaving, what should she do?" ”

Li Jinyue shook her head: "This is the palace, you must be cautious everywhere, the queen mother is punished by the fourth sister, if we all stay here to accompany us, wouldn't there be a suspicion of unwillingness or demonstration, let's go." ”

The three sisters walked towards the palace banquet together, leaving Li Jinyao alone to kneel in place.
