Chapter 169: Afraid
Inch by inch, little by little, she slashed Xu Shu's face like she was cutting the flesh of a dead enemy.
By the end she was even holding her breath.
She was like a fried-up cat, full of vigilance.
The proud and cold expression that had been maintained shattered into slag in an instant.
"Which sister is this?"
The corners of her mouth hooked up into an extremely unnatural sneer, and even trembled slightly.
Xu Shu looked at her blankly.
Ye Jiao: "When did you enter the palace, why don't you know this palace?" ”
She will know all about the wind and grass in this palace, even faster than the queen gets the news.
But when such a goblin entered the palace, she was actually kept in the dark and didn't know anything!
The queen who sat at the top said: "This is the first place in this year's selection of the Nine Weaving Fairies, the dream county lord of Your Majesty's own title, entered the palace yesterday to thank her, and Your Majesty left her to live." ”
Ye Jiao suddenly remembered that Chen'er said that a woman with no background robbed her first, and it turned out to be her.
Ye Jiao really wanted to stay and find out more news, but she had already stood up to leave, so there was no reason to sit back, so she had to dig Xu Shu hard, and then left without looking back.
Xu Shu made her quite inexplicable.
When the other concubines saw Concubine Ye leaving, they all found various reasons.
One said that his child was sick, one said that he was suffering from the storm, and the other said that he was going to ask the Queen Mother for peace, in short, they were all gone.
The queen is still sitting upright, holding her main palace lady's shelf, looking miserable and pitiful.
Xu Shu originally thought that everyone else was gone, and the queen would say something considerate to Qiqi, but he didn't expect that the conversation between the mother and daughter would be even colder than when those concubines were there.
"What did you do yesterday?"
Qiqi lowered his head: "Erchen and Sister Xu... Lord Meng, I made some needles and female red. ”
The queen nodded with satisfaction: "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, you must always remember the rules taught by the queen mother." ”
"Yes."
Then the three of them sat for a long time, and the tea was changed twice, and the queen remembered Xu Shulai and called her to her.
Xu Shu thought that the queen was the one who didn't freak down when she saw anyone, and only held her queen's shelf and didn't put it down, but the first time she saw her, it was like a stabbed expression, and her body leaned back slightly, as if she was subconsciously trying to escape.
The queen rubbed her eyebrows, then lowered her hand heavily, and the jade bracelet in her hand slammed on the chair under her, startling everyone.
"Mother, are you alright?" Qiqi stepped forward worriedly.
The queen waved her hand.
She just, when she saw Xu Shu, she thought of Ye Jiao at that time.
When she first entered the palace, she was so old, and after going to bed, she came to greet her, and her face was raised, which was very similar to Xu Shu now.
Then His Majesty summoned her to sleep for half a month, and no one in the harem could compete with her.
For so many years, she has held an empty shelf of the queen, and she has long had no real power in her hands, but Concubine Ye is in favor of Rilong, and she doesn't take her seriously at all.
There is also that groundless rumor, the rumor that she doesn't even dare to think about, the rumor of the abolished queen.
Today's Xu Shu, will it be Ye Jiao in the future?
Perhaps, it is even more terrifying than Ye Jiao.
is so beautiful, so young, even Ye Jiao can't talk to her on the same day...
If she really wants to compete for favor, will anyone be her opponent? Not really.
Xu Shu knelt for a long time, but she didn't wait for the queen's order to get up, she glanced at it a little and found that the queen was looking at her directly, just as if she was looking at others through her face.
"Queen Mother..."Qiqi called cautiously.
The queen trembled slightly, and when she came back to her senses, she closed her eyes, but her voice was very hoarse: "You get up." ”
