Chapter 149: Meeting the Queen Mother
The Queen Mother twisted the Buddha beads in her palm, and seemed to sigh: "When you are older, you don't like sweets very much, and the pastries are made lighter." β
Chu Yue's eyes condensed slightly.
She originally thought that Wan Guiren left the painting to kill herself, who knew that it would be so useful today.
Today's worship is really not simple, every step is full of calculations and scheming, which makes her unguarded.
Concubine Wan Guifei hurriedly responded to the Queen Mother's words, "The concubine remembers, Sister Chu, the painting is your maid, my sister suddenly asked you for it today, and I ask my sister not to mind." β
Mind that, of course she does!
But everyone cut it first and then played, and it was the queen mother who wanted to use the painting, Chu Yue had to smile indifferently, "Since the queen mother wants to use pastries, where does the concubine mind?" The pictorial pastries are really good, and they are also good for the nobles. If you can make the Queen Mother happy, even if you send the painting to the Queen Mother, the concubines are willing. β
Now that he has come to this point, of course Chu Yue refuses to give in like this, the hot potato of painting, it is better to clear up the relationship quickly.
No matter what Concubine Wan wants to do with the painting at this pilgrimage, she has to deal with it carefully.
The rouge on his side was obviously not so calm, and as soon as he heard the name of Wan Guifei, it was obvious that something was wrong.
chatted casually with the Queen Mother for two or three more sentences, and then Chu Yue returned to his place and stood quietly.
After glancing at Rouge soothingly, Chu Yue began to think about what to do with the dinner party in the evening.
Since Wan Guifei wants to make a fuss with Huayi, she has obviously decided that Chu Yue trusts Huayi, and it is only morning, and there is still half a day before the evening dinner, which is enough for her to use this time to do something.
When the worship was over and all the concubines were dispersed, Wan Guifei, who was walking at the back, walked up again, "Sister Chu seems to be in a good mood today. β
Chu Yue smiled gently, "Thank you Concubine Wan for your concern, the concubine is all right today." β
"It seems that the Queen Mother likes you very much, and you have to deal with the dinner tonight."
Wan Guifei smiled leisurely and pulled the broken hair from her sideburns.
"The concubine has thanked the concubine for her guidance, and she must remember it."
Chu Yue saluted quietly, not showing the slightest anger in it.
"If you know, it's good."
Wan Guifei also seemed to feel a little bored, and after finishing speaking, she ordered her subordinates to speed up the speed of the sedan chair and move forward.
It wasn't until everyone was far away that Rouge's worried look appeared, "Nobleman, they want to use the painting to deal with you, what should we do?" β
"There is still one day, don't be in a hurry," Chu Yue smiled slightly, "When you return to Yingyue Palace later, you let Linlang come back, and only say that there is something to tell her to do." β
Chu Yue didn't take the painting thing seriously at all, and after returning to the Yingyue Palace for lunch, Linlang came late from the Internal Affairs Office.
"The slave and maid are late, and I hope you can forgive your sins."
Chu Yue knew that if Linlang hadn't gone to find out the news, he wouldn't be idle at all at this time, so he went straight to the point and said, "Fangcao is there."
Did you find anything? β
"Back to the nobleman's words, the slave maid has been following the noble Qu, but there are too many guards around the noble man, and the slave and maid are afraid of being discovered, so they don't really hear it."
"The slave vaguely heard Qu Guiren say that Gu Baolin had any handle in her hand, and she didn't know anything about it, but she heard the painting from Wan Guiren......
Chu Yue's expression was slightly cold, "How is the painting?" β
Linlang didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "Huayi will make the osmanthus cake that the Queen Mother likes tonight, and there will be a lot of poison in it, it seems that she wants to frame someone." β
Who to frame?
Who else can be framed? Naturally, it's herself!
Chu Yue's face was as cold as ice, "Go and call me for the painting." β
Her voice was extremely cold, and Rouge didn't dare to delay, so she was busy.
By the time the painter entered the Moon Palace nervously, Chu Yue had already regained his former calm look.
The cautious appearance made Chu Yue couldn't help but smile, and he didn't have a cold look, "What, your original master made a mistake, and you still think that I will be angry with you together?" β
Huayi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly opened his mouth to show his loyalty, "Noble Chu, don't worry, since the slave and maid have followed you, they will naturally regard you as their master in the future, and they will share their worries and solve problems for you in everything." β
"I hope so."
Chu Yue glanced at the painting meaningfully, and suddenly said: "I heard that the Queen Mother likes osmanthus cakes, since you are doing well, I am also a little greedy, so you can make a small plate, and I can check it in advance." β
Huayi hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Slave maid, do it right away!" β
After saying that, he smiled, got up and retreated.
When a plate of fragrant osmanthus cake appeared in front of Chu Yue, Chu Yue smiled and sighed yes, presented a piece of rouge, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
I have to say that the pictorial pastries are indeed delicious, if only she could use them for herself.
It's just that whether the heart is really here with her will be known until we see the results tonight.
Chu Yue was thoughtful, and suddenly appreciated a hairpin in the painting, and let her go back.
"Nobleman, why did you let her go back again?" Rouge was puzzled, she thought that Chu Yue shouted the painting and would knock on the painting well, so as to know what Wan Guifei was planning tonight, but who knew that Chu Yue would let her go back like this.
"I naturally have my reasons for letting her go back, if you coerce and lure you today, it won't be useless, but just avoid a false accusation, Wan Guifei will not have anything to lose."
"Besides," Chu Yue smiled indifferently, "This painterly girl has a big appetite, where can we keep it here?" β
Huayi is a person who will say everything when she gives benefits, if she really forces her to tell everything at this time, then she will naturally go to Wan Guifei and explain it, and in the end, Chu Yue will still waste a lot of effort.
In this case, it is better to go with the flow, let Chu Xi keep an eye on her every move, and deal with it carefully, and catch Wan Guifei off guard.
She didn't talk to Rouge about this, but only asked Chu Xi to follow the painting carefully
None asked.
Chu Yue didn't say anything, Rouge had to suppress the doubts in his heart and wait for the dinner party to come.
It's just that it was supposed to be a dinner party between the queen mother and the concubines, but Feng Jixuan came to join in the fun.
When the dinner was coming, according to the custom, all the concubines should wait outside the hall half a quarter of an hour in advance, but as soon as Chu Yue stood up according to his position, the voice of Desheng's father-in-law came from far and near.
"The emperor has arrivedβthe queen mother has arrivedβ"
Chu Yue was slightly surprised that the two of them came together.
Just didn't have time to think about it, so she knelt down and saluted with the palace concubines.
