Dancers have to kneel on one knee when they salute, Wu Yuzhu is no exception, wearing a dance costume is a dancer, no matter what noble status you have in the audience, you have to recognize the identity of this dancer when you stand on the stage.

"Okay, it's really good, this dance is something that has never been heard or seen, Wu Chengxiang, you can be regarded as giving birth to a good daughter, even I am a little envious of you." Wu Yuzhu's performance completely pleased the emperor, and the emperor did not hesitate to praise Prime Minister Wu.

When the ministers heard the emperor's praise for Prime Minister Wu, they followed with a postscript to congratulate him.

For a time, Prime Minister Wu Cheng's family became particularly dazzling in the eyes of the ministers.

"The emperor, the queen, the mother, the courtiers have a matter, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" Wu Yuzhu knelt on one knee and did not get up, but looked up at the emperor and queen on the stage.

At this time, the emperor Longxin Dayue didn't care about Wu Yuzhu's rudeness at all, and then raised his hand and said, "You speak." ”

Wu Yuzhu slowly spread out her palm, revealing the string of coral bracelets in her palm.

"Your Majesty, the queen, just now the courtiers accidentally stepped on the coral bracelet while dancing, so they picked it up. Originally, she planned to return it to Miss Lu Xueling, but the courtiers found something very strange and felt that she should report it to the queen and the emperor. Wu Yuzhu said clearly and calmly.

Lu Xueyi raised her eyebrows with a smile in her eyes, this girl is too much to her liking.

Concubine Yue, who was sitting quietly beside the emperor, saw Lu Xueyi's expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When the emperor and the queen mother heard Wu Yuzhu say this, they couldn't help frowning.

It's just that this coral bracelet feels really bad for the two, and when they see this thing, they unconsciously feel disgusted.

"What did you find? But it doesn't hurt to say that. "Not to mention that women's intuition is always one step faster than men, the queen mother rushed directly in front of the emperor and asked the question.

Wu Yuzhu slowly pulled the corners of her mouth, nodded respectfully to the queen mother and the emperor and said: "Because the courtiers have been particularly sensitive to aromas since they were children, they worshiped the master to learn to make spices, so they are naturally familiar with various fragrances. I don't know why, there is a fragrance on this coral bracelet, or a fragrance that courtiers dare not be sure. ”

As soon as Wu Yuzhu said this, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, Lu Xueling's face turned white with fright, she didn't know what was wrong with the coral bracelet she took out.

But the coral bracelet was handed to her by Aunt Xia, her own mother, how could there be a mistake in it.

When the queen mother heard Wu Yuzhu say this, she was immediately alerted, and even the emperor couldn't help frowning.

The most indispensable thing in the inner courtyard of the palace is the harem battle, every emperor, countless concubines, this harem battle has a few rules.

In order to compete for the emperor's favor, the concubines really did everything. For example, some strange aromas can prevent a concubine from ascending to a noble position, and those deceitful magic can make a queen fall from the throne in an instant.

These are all secrets that are not passed on in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, but the emperor and the queen have also seen one scene after another with their own eyes, so they are naturally extremely sensitive to these things.

When she inadvertently said that there was a strange fragrance on this coral bracelet, the queen mother already had a certain number in her heart.

"Someone is going to invite the grandmother next to the palace." The queen suddenly shouted.

The reason why the queen asked people to change the grandmother was because the grandmother next to her was a healer who knew how to heal, and she also had a little research on spices.

In the hall that was still lively and noisy just now, no one dared to speak at this time.

Everyone waited in silence, and even Master Lu looked at the people around him with a sad face.

Soon the guards brought an elderly woman, who had been with the queen for many years, so it was naturally impossible to deceive the emperor and the queen.

Wu Yuzhu calmly handed the coral bracelet in her hand to the grandmother who came over.

The two of them studied the string for a while, and finally turned around silently and knelt down towards the emperor and queen.

"The old slave has seen the emperor, the queen's mother. I wish the emperor a long life and a healthy Tianqi dragon. Mama didn't rush to say the result, first greeted the emperor and the queen.

"Mama, please, what's the result?" The emperor's anger subsided slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the emperor, there is indeed a part of musk in this coral bracelet." Mama told the truth.

But after this appraisal was spoken, Master Wu's complexion changed greatly, and even the old lady hurriedly got up and pleaded guilty.

The people of the Wu family knelt on the ground with hulala, and Aunt Lu Xueyi also knelt on the ground.

"The emperor forgives the sin, Weichen really doesn't know anything." Master Wu opened his mouth and asked the emperor.

The emperor's face was a little pale, and he didn't look at Master Wu, and turned his head to stare at Lu Xueling: "Bold slut, what do you want to behave like this?" ”

The emperor's question had already been smashed on her face, but Lu Xueling was stunned and didn't know how to answer, her mind was in chaos now, and her whole person was almost paralyzed on the ground.

Wu Yuzhu quietly took a few steps back, returned to Prime Minister Wu Cheng's side, and glared at Lu Xueling several times with a treacherous little look.

Lu Xueyi saw all of Wu Yuzhu's demeanor in her eyes, and suddenly liked this Wu Yuzhu even more in her heart.

Lu Xueling's mind is full of despair, what should I do? Flustered, she only remembered that she couldn't tell where the coral bracelet came from.

The coral bracelet was prepared for him by Aunt Xia, once she said it, Aunt Xia could not escape the blame, she was a concubine daughter, if she was not even by her own mother's side, she would definitely not have a bright future in the future.

Lu Xueling began to frantically look for a reason in her mind, and she stubbornly stood up to the emperor's anger.

None of the ministers at the banquet dared to open their mouths to plead, and Master Lu and Mrs. Lu did not dare to get up when they knelt on the ground.

The queen's face naturally couldn't see anywhere, although she didn't blame the Wu family or anyone else.

The thought that this coral bracelet was for herself made her feel cold.

Lu Xueling trembled with fright, and when she lowered her head, she saw Lu Xueyi beside her, and then a bold idea formed in her mind.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers were wronged, the coral bracelet was given to the courtiers by Lu Xueyi's sister, and the courtiers thought it looked good and gave it to the queen's mother, the reason for this, the courtiers didn't know anything." Lu Xueling had the courage to say this.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes at the banquet brushed to Lu Xueyi's body.

Lu Xueyi was still kneeling there to watch a good show, but she didn't know that the fire suddenly burned on herself, and she was really a little crying and laughing.

Master Lu glanced at Lu Xueyi with a frightened expression, with a little struggle in his expression, this is the only daughter left by his wife, he should stand up to protect his daughter, but what should the Lu family do? If you don't have him, how can you survive without it?

The emperor and queen were stunned when they heard Lu Xueling's words, they didn't believe that chubby girl could do such a vicious thing at all.

Lu Xueyi looked at Lu Xueling, and for a while she didn't know whether she should defend herself.

Because of what Lu Xueling said, she felt that it was so funny that there was no need to defend it at all.

The ministers at the banquet looked at Lu Xueyi's crying and laughing expression, and suddenly felt that this scene was a little strange.

Even the emperor and the queen didn't know how to ask.

Lu Xueling could only bite Lu Xueyi tightly, and insisted that the coral bracelet was given to her by Lu Xueyi.

"You're lying, our girl and you have never dealt with each other, how could I give you something." The pearl beside Lu Xueyi couldn't hold back and screamed for their girl.

When Lu Xueling heard Mingzhu say this, she immediately replied: "It's because your girl has a grudge against me that he used this thing to frame me." ”

"You are talking nonsense, our girl will never hurt anyone, your majesty, please let the emperor know, our girl is a kind-hearted person and will never do those things." Mingzhu was a little anxious, and he knelt on the ground desperately and kowtowed to the emperor.

Lu Xueyi looked at Myeong-so's struggle to resist for herself, and suddenly felt that she should do something.

"Your Majesty, since the courtiers learned that they were going to enter the palace and meet the emperor to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, she has been following her father and never leaving her, and her father can testify for you." Lu Xueyi's words were clear and coherent, and what she said made everyone nod slightly.

In Master Lu's heart, Lu Xueling was naturally inferior to Lu Xueyi, so he admitted without hesitation: "Emperor Qiqi, the two daughters of Weichen are too far apart, so the relationship is not very deep, and there are often quarrels at home, and it is impossible to send congratulatory gifts to each other." ”

Master Lu's words were obviously biased in favor of Lu Xueyi, which made Lu Xueling's heart extremely aggrieved and resentful.

"Although my father's daughter is the daughter of a concubine, she has never done anything bad, why can my father give up his daughter for the sake of face. The coral bracelet was obviously given to me by my sister, why don't you all admit it? Lu Xueling was good-looking, but at this time she looked pitiful, which made the people around her feel pity.

The emperor and the queen looked at the family suspicious of each other, and couldn't help coughing embarrassedly and said: "This matter is related to the royal face, so naturally it can't be taken lightly, so you can do justice to you here, and ask this matter clearly, who is doing the ghost out of it." ”

The queen likes Lu Xueyi very much, and when she heard that Lu Xueling put all the fault on Lu Xueyi, she was a little unhappy.

But what is the difference between this official family and the royal family? Whoever is right and who is wrong must naturally find out, otherwise if this kind of thing is committed again in the future, how should it be severely punished.
