After returning to Fengluan Palace, the women were still a little unsatisfied, and they talked about what they had just seen and heard in the Imperial Garden, and they were all radiant.
The queen looked at Wuyang lovingly, and saw that her eyebrows were stretched a lot more than just now, and asked with a smile: "Wuyang, did you have a good time in the imperial garden just now?" ”
Wuyang quickly glanced at Chu Qingyu who was not far away, and said with a smile: "After returning to his mother, Erchen and all the girls were quite deed, especially Chu San, and she also specially picked a basket of 'gardenias' to give to Erchen. ”
Gardenia?! The queen's eyes sank, and she couldn't help but think of what happened when her daughter was four years old, and that time, Gardenia almost killed her daughter!
Just thinking about it, the queen felt a pain in her heart, as if someone was cutting her heart with a knife.
However, not many people know about her daughter's allergy to gardenia pollen, is it a coincidence that Chu Qingyu gave her daughter gardenias......
The queen's face was silent, and her sharp gaze shot at Chu Qingyu like a sharp arrow, with inquiry and scrutiny.
Chu Qingyu calmly and calmly looked at the queen, and did not intend to deliberately hide anything. The queen has no imperial concubines under her knees, and now she has to rely on their Chu family...... Such a trivial matter, even if you let the queen know that she did it on purpose?! How dare the queen help herself?!
The corners of Chu Qingyu's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled at Queen Yingying, seemingly innocent and provocative.
The queen naturally understood Chu Qingyu's eyes and expressions, and her pupils shrank.
This Chu Qingyu is really bold!
The queen looked at Chu Qingyu without blinking, and her fingertips pinched into her palm. Wuyang is her only daughter, her lifeline, whoever hurts her daughter is her enemy, she has written down this account!
However, the queen is the queen after all, even if the anger in her heart surges, the corners of her mouth still maintain a faint smile, but her eyes are as cold as ice.
"Miss Chu San must be careful when picking flowers in the future." At this time, Duanmu Fei said coquettishly, "A bee flew out of the basket of gardenias just now, which scared me, but fortunately I hid quickly." As she spoke, she patted her chest in fear.
Hearing this, Chu Qingyu's face froze, the calmness on his face was no longer there, the flowers were discolored, and the atmosphere in the hall changed suddenly.
Most of the other ladies and girls around had subtle expressions, and most of them thought this was a little strange.
In the imperial garden just now, many girls watched Chu Qingyu personally pick off the flowers one by one and put them in the basket, how could they "accidentally" mix in the bees?!
Thinking of Chu Qingyu's insistence on giving the basket of gardenias to Princess Wuyang in the Tinglan Water Pavilion just now, the girls were all thoughtful, could it be that Chu Qingyu deliberately mixed the bees into the flower basket? !
It's just that in the flick of his fingers, Chu Qingyu's face has changed several times, and he can't figure out how there can be bees in the flower basket......
Originally, she "didn't know" that the eldest princess was allergic to gardenia pollen and sent gardenias, those who didn't know were not guilty, and the queen couldn't attack herself, but now it's different - no matter what the bee is about, it gives the queen a reason to blame herself.
Blame yourself for not being cautious enough!
Chu Qingyu endured the resentment, unwillingness and humiliation in her heart, and bowed her knees to admit her mistake: "The queen mother, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, are all negligent on the part of the courtiers. ”
The queen's deep gaze swept over Duanmu Fei's body, and finally fell on Chu Qingyu's body, and she didn't speak for a long time.
The hall also fell silent, and Chu Qingyu maintained a knee-bending motion, and endured it motionlessly.
After a while, the queen said lightly: "Sister Yu, the girl's family should be gentle and delicate. Her words seemed to be a reminder and a warning.
"Thank you for the teachings of the Queen Mother." Chu Qingyu's head lowered and said respectfully.
The queen accepted it when she saw it, and she didn't plan to embarrass Chu Qingyu, after all, the second lady of the Chu family was also present, and she always had to give the Chu family some face.
Second Lady Chu glanced at Chu Qingyu quietly, feeling that this daughter had been acting more and more decently recently.
Whether Sister Yu was unintentional or deliberate, she had to go to the eldest princess to get this mistake. When I go back today, I must admonish her, Sister Yu is such an adult, and no matter how frivolous she is, she will only insult the Chu family!
Although Sister Yu is her own daughter, the second lady of the Chu family has to admit in her heart that her daughter is far inferior to Sister Qi in terms of behavior.
The eldest daughter raised by her mother-in-law is different after all......
It's a pity......
Second Mrs. Chu took a deep breath, stood up, and respectfully apologized to the queen again for her daughter: "The queen is generous, the little woman is impetuous, and the courtiers must let the little girl copy some Buddhist scriptures well when she goes back, and calm down." ”
The queen smiled and replied, "The girl's family is young after all", so that this matter can be regarded as the past.
After the second lady of Chu thanked the queen, she didn't sit down immediately, and said: "Queen Mother, the old lady of the courtier's family met the Jiangnan Confucian Wenbi a few days ago, and they talked very happily, and they wanted to recommend it to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I don't know what the queen thinks?" ”
The queen's heart moved, and she asked with a bright eye, "Could it be that Mr. Changyuan?" ”
Wen Bi was born in the Jiangnan family Wen family, because of its outstanding poetry and articles are famous in the north and south of the river, for more than 20 years have been teaching in the Changyuan Academy of the Jiangnan Wen family, teaching three champions, dozens of Wen Jinshi, it can be said that the peach and plum are all over the world, and is respected by the world as "Mr. Changyuan".
If the fourth prince can worship Wen Bi as a teacher, it will greatly help his prestige among literati and scholars, which is something that can be encountered but not sought!
Second Mrs. Chu took the initiative to recommend Wen Bi, naturally to make up for the mistakes caused by Chu Qingyu and appease the dissatisfaction in the heart of the queen mother.
She curtched her knees and responded: "Back to the queen's mother, it is Mr. Changyuan." ”
Duanmu Fei on the side retracted his gaze, lowered his face slightly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not for Chu Qingyu, but for the Chu family.
Of course, Duanmu Fei noticed Chu Qingyu's provocation to the queen just now, and he really didn't know whether to say that Chu Qingyu was bold or stupid.
In the past hundred years, the Chu family has never had the power to lean towards the government and the opposition, but it has been able to wear hairpins for generations and be well-dressed, that is because the Chu family is neither humble nor arrogant, neither arrogant nor weak, so as to ensure the prosperity of the Chu family and be admired by the people of the world.
Like Chu Qingyu's behavior today, it is not only to bring trouble to herself, but also to the Chu family!
In order to resolve the deadlock, Duanmu Fei deliberately said that there were bees in the basket of flowers, forcing Chu Qingyu to admit his mistake to the queen in public, and to expose the matter vaguely, and now the second lady of Chu is using Wen Bi to appease the queen, which must be enough to eliminate the residual dissatisfaction in the queen's heart.
