Chapter 37: Framing
For a while, everyone's faces were not very good-looking, Chu Li was a concubine after all.
Chu Li still didn't respond, she knew, but if she said the slightest thing, she would be caught by the other party, so she simply didn't say anything.
Yunxi was also a little surprised, last night I thought he was a high-spirited master, but I didn't expect that he would be able to calm down.
"Alright, this is not the place for you to speak, go down."
Immediately afterwards, it was nothing more than to talk about the things between the women in the palace, Chu Li just felt bored, and listened to it, and he wanted to sleep a little.
I was already planning to leave, but suddenly the queen mother came to pass the word, saying that there was a banquet in the evening, and since the princess was also there, she happened to stay in the palace to go to the banquet together.
Chu Li always felt that there was a sense of conspiracy.
She asked Chu Huan, can she leave? Chu Huan shook his head, this is the queen's order, and no one can leave.
Because of the last time, Chu Li didn't want to see the queen, how to say when they met, that, I accidentally got lost last time, so I came to the Qin Palace?
Chu Li really didn't want to go, and besides, there might be something wrong.
In the evening, everything seemed normal, like an undercurrent wave beneath the calm waters.
This is the first time Chu Li has looked at the queen, she just met once last time, she left in a hurry, and she is not the protagonist, this time, she can be regarded as a guest.
"Are you Chu Li?"
"Exactly, Queen, you saw me last time."
This kind of fake banquet is the same as having dinner with the leader before, and if you can't say anything directly, you have to nod your head, which is really uncomfortable.
"It's quite smart, and I'll come to the palace to accompany me more often in the future."
Chu Li nodded.
Yunxi kept the queen mother, the queen mother, Chu Li didn't care, the food at the banquet was delicious, after all, it was made by the chef in the palace, and it was still different from Xiaoyang Palace.
After a song and dance, Yunxi proposed to take out the mutton fat jade bracelet given to Chu Huan and show it to the queen, it looks good.
Here's where things are bad, when Chu Huan started looking for something, the thing was gone.
"Oops! Why is my bracelet missing! β
Because when Yunxi sent it just now, Chu Huan felt that it was valuable, so he didn't take it directly in his hand, but put it in the hand of the maid Xiaoyou.
Immediately, Xiao You knelt down directly.
"Princess, I have always been with me, when I first took the seat, I saw that it was still on my body, why did it disappear after such a while."
When she spoke, there was already a cry in the maid's tone.
"Then hurry up and find it!"
Chu Huan didn't care about the rudeness, after all, this was a reward from the princess, and it was lost before it left the palace, but it was a big deal.
"Hurry up and look for it, is it left somewhere?"
Chu Li frowned, feeling that things were a little wrong, it couldn't be her here.
She asked Ruoshui to look at the things around her, and don't stay with them for a while, and then she won't be able to tell her mouth clearly. γ
After shouting for a long time without response, Chu Li looked back and saw that Ruoshui was already slumped on the chair behind him.
Chu was shocked, this is not right! If Shui is a kung fu person, he didn't meet anything on the way here, and the two of them ate and drank the same, so why did they faint.
She wanted to call a doctor, but at this juncture, if she said that the person she was carrying was sick, it would be really hard to say.
"Concubine Li, everyone has checked the things around you, only you haven't checked here, shouldn't you let people take a look."
Yunxi's voice was not loud or small, just enough for everyone present to hear, in addition to the queen, there were also a few concubines whose names Chu Li couldn't name, and everyone now looked like they were watching a good show.
Chu Li took a deep breath, it's over, this is a trick, it must be here with her!
"Search it."
While talking about life, she glanced at Yunxi, Xiao Nizi, she really held a grudge, relying on her identity as a princess, using this kind of little trick, she was very angry when she thought about it, but after thinking about it, she was careful enough, how could she still be tricked.
"Princess Queen, there is a jade bracelet here, I wonder if it is the one that the princess lost?"
Chu Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, do you still need to ask, it is specified, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is framed, only these women on the stage are pretending to be innocent.
Chu Huan didn't expect to be here in Chu Li, growing up together since childhood, she is very clear about Chu Li's character, she definitely won't steal for a jade bracelet, besides, she hasn't left the palace yet, even if she wants to, she should do it after leaving the palace, and she will definitely not do it at the banquet.
"Princess, look, it's the concubine who stole your things!"
Xiao You's mouth was cheap, and he shouted out as soon as possible. Everyone's eyes are now good, and they are all focused on Chu Li.
Chu Li stood up and shook her clothes, and then it was her miserable stage.
She knelt down without raising her head.
"Queen, princess, this thing is indeed here, but I really don't know how to put it next to my maid, if I say that someone framed me, I'm afraid I won't believe it, if I say that I stole it, I have no motive to steal it, and ask the queen to know it."
What Chu Li said about the yin and yang weirdness was for Yunxi.
When Chu Huan saw Chu Li kneeling down, he also knelt down for the first time, and hurriedly said, "Queen Princess, Li'er is my own sister, naturally she will not steal my things, besides, this is a reward from the princess, presumably, there may be some misunderstanding from it." β
Chu Li took a deep breath, she was really a naΓ―ve eldest sister, she was really kind, she hadn't figured out what things were going on yet, and it wouldn't be useful for her to intercede.
The queen frowned, when she first saw Chu Li, she still liked it very much, how could a very excited little girl suddenly be confused with a thief?
Yunxi let out a sigh, and his smug expression almost overflowed his face, "Queen, you have forgotten that this concubine is the concubine who came to the palace for the first time and went to the Qin palace without permission." β
Originally, the queen didn't know it, but this reminder was good, and the queen remembered it at once, and her face slowly began to crawl with disdain.
"This palace is lacking, since it was rewarded by Princess Yunxi, then this matter will be handled by Yunxi, and the palace will go back first."
The queen is smart, Chu Li is Xiao Yang's side concubine no matter what, the punishment is heavy, and if she doesn't punish it, it seems that the royal family has no dignity, so the final situation is that she leaves and lets Yunxi solve it, and what she doesn't know is that this matter was planned by this princess!
When the queen leaves, it's time for this princess to perform.
Is it a battle or something else? Chu Li had already begun to look forward to it.
On the other side, Ruoshui has not woken up yet.
