Chapter 14: The Palace Banquet (4)
Yuan Peize's face was even more ugly, but he didn't dare to do anything to Limo, and said loudly, "Leave that cheap maid to the palace, and this matter will be settled, otherwise the palace will definitely tell the queen about this matter!" ”
Limo's expression was as if she had heard some joke, it was really disgusting to look at Yuan Peize, she rolled her eyes, her finger joints were itchy, and she really wanted to beat him.
Li Mo looked at Yuan Peize coldly, and said indifferently, "Let's go, Su Ye, let's go to the queen's mother's reason." ”
When Su Ye heard the word queen, her face turned pale, "Miss, the slave really didn't steal." ”
"Don't be afraid, I'll prove your innocence with me."
Li Mo gently wiped away the tears on Su Ye's face, and when she touched the swollen half of Lao Gao's face, her face sank, "Whoever dares to beat me, I will definitely make you pay." ”
At this time, Mu Wanrou was worried, without the previous pride, she knew that the current queen mother was the cousin of Limo's mother, and she was afraid that she would have to favor Limo's dead slut. But she quickly calmed down her mood again, and in front of everyone's eyes, the human and material evidence was conclusive, and it was probably not so easy for the queen to be partial even if she wanted to.
Fengyi Palace.
The queen was dressed in a purple-gold dress, with an extraordinary style, her skin was like clotted fat, white and red, gentle as jade, and crystal clear. On the head, a hundred birds shine towards the phoenix, which is eye-catching.
Mu Wanrou looked at the person sitting above and secretly swore that one day in the future, she would also go to that position, be worshiped by the ministers, and become the queen mother admired by thousands of people, and Limo, that damn slut, she would definitely trample her under her feet and never get up.
"When did you come to this Fengyi Palace to find this palace, what are you talking about?" The queen's graceful and noble face showed a hint of displeasure, she had just heard the personal maid talk about it, but she didn't expect them to come so soon.
Mu Wanrou cried and cried and took the lead in calling Qu, "Queen Mother, you have to be the master of your courtiers!" The second sister's slave stole the bracelet given to the courtier by His Royal Highness the Prince, and was arrested by the third sister on the spot, and the courtier wanted to find the second sister to reason, but unexpectedly she connived at the cheap maid, and smashed the concubine's jade bracelet in front of everyone. ”
The queen's brows tightened even more, her eyes looked around, and a few of them were not afraid of big things, and they echoed a few times, all of them were on Mu Wanrou's side.
"Limo, do you have something to say."
"Queen Qiyu, I have nothing to say."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and even the queen looked at Limo in disbelief, which one did this child sing?
The prince walked over with a triumphant face, and said with a pretended pity: "Just admit it early, if you have to make trouble with the queen mother, it will not end well." He turned around and bowed to the queen again, "Erchen asked the queen to be able to deal with this cheap maid according to the law, and Miss Mu Er could not escape the blame." ”
"This ......" The queen looked embarrassed, thinking to herself, how should this be good, Mo'er is also her niece, it is impossible to really deal with it.
"Wait, Su Ye, take out the necklace you wore this morning."
Su Ye already understood at this time that his young lady was not admitting but helping herself, and hurriedly pulled out a necklace around her neck.
The black pearls were dazzling because they were dark and shiny. Everyone was stunned, and they really envied the surrounding princesses.
"Where did this come from! Damn bitch, you didn't steal my bracelet! ”
"Your broken bracelet is not uncommon in my family, this black pearl necklace is my birthday gift to Su Ye, it is worth several bracelets for you, who do you think will want your broken bracelet!"
"Then you smashed my bracelet, that's in front of everyone, and you still want to deny it." Mu Wanrou said eloquently.
Li Mo smiled, "My hands are shaking, and I don't hold it steady." ”
"You...... You" Mu Wan was speechless softly, looking at Limo's spirited appearance, she changed her usual gentle and dignified appearance, and scolded, "You are as shameless as your cheap mother, cheap bones are cheap bones!" ”
The queen was furious and slapped a chair suddenly: "Mu Wanrou, don't stop the palace yet!" You are so bold that you dare to insult the cousin of this palace! Indiscriminately messed around for a worthless broken bracelet, disturbing the purity of the palace. Come on, drag this girl who doesn't know how to be polite out for me to replay the 20th board! ”
"Yes, Queen."
Mu Wanrou realized that she was unscrupulous, and hurriedly kept kowtowing: "The queen mother spares her life, the courtiers just said the wrong thing in a moment's confusion, so you can spare the courtiers." ”
The queen looked at Mu Wanrou with disgust on her face, and scolded loudly, "Why don't you hurry up and drag me down, do you want to be beaten too!" ”
"Yes!" A few guards dragged Mu Wanrou out, although this Miss Mu was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but who dared to disobey the order of the queen mother.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, save me, His Royal Highness the Prince......" Mu Wanrou cried heartbreakingly, but Yuan Peize was indifferent and looked disgusted.
Today, this Mu Wanrou is so rude, and he is making a lot of nonsense in the queen's palace, he really feels embarrassed, thinking about how he could fall in love with a woman like Mu Wanrou.
"I am the woman of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I am pregnant with the child of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who of you dares to touch me! Mu Wanrou shouted in a sharp voice.
When the guards heard this, they were so frightened that they hurriedly put Mu Wanrou down.
The queen was stunned, "What you said is true?"
Mu Wanrou changed her embarrassed appearance, got up proudly and said loudly, "The courtiers and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have been in love with each other, and they have long been married to the prince. ”
"You talk nonsense!" Yuan Pei Ze's face was red and his neck was thick.
"How can I talk nonsense, what I said is true, His Royal Highness the Prince, have you forgotten that we were together in the woods outside the city last month......"
When Yuan Peize heard this, he was immediately embarrassed, this Mu Wanrou really didn't know how to be ashamed, and she actually told this in front of everyone, if this was spread out, how would her father explain it.
"I didn't expect this Miss Mu to look noble and holy on weekdays, but I didn't expect to be so shameless behind her back...... It's simply an insult to the title of the first beauty in the mausoleum. ”
"It's a shame that the woman who didn't leave the cabinet was pregnant. I see, this Miss Mu Er is worthy of the title of the first beauty in Shangling City. ”
"That's it, it's ......"
Mu Wanrou didn't feel angry when she heard this, she was about to marry into the prince's mansion, and she was going to become the queen in the future. What's the use of being the first beauty in a mausoleum, she will not be allowed to kneel in front of her in the future and let her dispose of it.
When Yuan Peize heard this, his face turned blue and red for a while, he looked at Mu Wanrou viciously, he was really blind, so he begged his father to withdraw from his marriage with Limo and marry this Mu Wanrou. In the end, he shook his sleeves and strode away.
Although the queen was angry, she naturally didn't dare to joke about the child in Mu Wanrou's belly, so she ordered the guards to send her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Just as Limo was about to leave, a maid with a double-ringed bun, beautiful eyebrows, and a long emerald green pleated dress stopped her: "Miss Mu Er, please stay." ”
She stopped, her expression full of doubt, "What's the matter?" This is the queen's personal maid.
"The Queen Mother has something important to look for you."
Although she was confused, she still followed Li'er to Fengyi Palace.
"Mo'er, come, come to the main palace." With a gentle face, the queen beckoned to Limo and motioned for her to step forward, her eyes full of love and care.
Limo slowly walked to the queen's side, the queen took her hand with a loving face, and instructed the palace people to move Limo's seat to her side, she said quietly, "You just sit here, be closer to the palace, and talk to the palace." ”
After a pause, he said, "This face is very similar to what your mother looked like when she was alive, but it's a pity that ......" I don't know when, the queen's eyes were moist.
Tears may be wiped away, but what can't be wiped away is the self-blame of her soul. Although she is a queen, she failed to help her cousin in times of crisis. Whenever she thought of this, she felt extremely guilty in her heart.
A maid in Tsing Yi respectfully presented a cup of warm tea and said in a low voice, "Miss Mu, please use tea." ”
"Thank you." Li Mo took it and glanced at her lightly, "Is there something the queen is looking for me?"
The queen smiled kindly, "Silly boy, I am your aunt, don't call me the queen mother in private in the future, it seems to be raw." ”
"Yes, aunt."
"Bring the things up."
I saw Li'er holding a delicate box in both hands, this is a sandalwood box, a small rectangle, the size of a book, with layers of convex floral ornaments like reliefs, dark purple and red colors, and matte lacquer surfaces, which look antique, delicate and elegant.
"This was left to you by your mother, and she told me to hand it over to you myself."
Li Mo took the box, her fingers caressing the still smooth reddish-brown lacquer surface. She gently opened, and it was ...... Title deed?
It turned out that Limo Niang exchanged all her dowry for the title deeds of the large and small shops in Lingcheng before her death, and now more than half of the shops in Lingcheng are under Limo's name. In order to prevent them from falling into the hands of thieves, these title deeds were entrusted to the queen for safekeeping.
Thank you aunt for keeping it for Mo'er in the past few years, and Mo'er is grateful. Limo smiled gently.
The queen said softly, "Silly boy, what are you being polite to your aunt." If you need anything in the future, just tell this palace. She paused, then added, "But does Mo'er have someone she likes now?"
This question made Limo suddenly embarrassed, she lowered her head, and her face gradually turned crimson.
The queen naturally saw Limo's shyness and smiled, "If you have someone you like, tell your aunt, and your aunt will help you decide." ”
"No need, Mo'er is still young, and I want to spend more time with my father." When the queen asked her if she had a crush on her just now, for some reason what appeared in her mind was that breathtaking face, so she showed embarrassment in front of the queen.
