Chapter 117: The Next Set

Li Teng'er took out a piping and fluffed cotton dress, put it on her body, and hurriedly removed the golden bells from her wrists and ankles: "I heard that the Queen Mother likes to pick her nose and eyes, and there are many rules, so I changed into a long skirt and wore it." ”

Li Teng'er wanted to play a game, and he didn't play cards according to common sense, which made Yuehua a little stunned.

"This morning and dusk are all the concubines in the palace, if the princess wants to go, she will have breakfast later, and the palace will take you to the queen mother to say goodbye."

Li Teng'er hurriedly washed, as if she was afraid that her movements would be slow, and Yuehua would leave her behind.

"I'm going to see the concubines in the Forbidden City of your Chang'an Dynasty, are they all like you?"

Yuehua was a little embarrassed, and didn't want to have anything wrong, so she shook her head and said, "It's just kowtowing in the past, gossiping, and it's really boring." ”

Li Teng'er's eyes rolled twice, and then she stretched out her hand and pointed to one of the palace maids of similar size: "Take off your clothes, I will pretend to be a palace maid, just don't talk much, so it's interesting." ”

The palace maid looked at Yuehua in embarrassment, but before Yuehua could speak, Li Teng'er had already stepped forward, and began to take the initiative to untie her clothes.

Seeing that she couldn't be dissuaded, Yuehua shook her head helplessly, and could only let her mess around.

Li Teng'er really dressed up according to the appearance of the palace people, and the flowers with silk yarn were hairpinned, imitating the palace people's low eyebrows and pleasing every move, but they also looked good.

Yuehua said two more words, and the two of them left Qingqiu Palace, and Mama Wei caught up with them uneasily, following closely behind the two.

Yuehua turned her head: "Mama has worked hard all night, just rest, you don't have to work back and forth." ”

Mama Wei shook her head and pouted at Li Teng'er: "Her Royal Highness the princess is delicate and expensive, if there is any errand that needs to serve tea and water, is it really for Her Royal Highness the princess to do it?" The old slave followed and listened to the summons. ”

"Then let Xiang Shen follow." Yuehua felt a little sorry for her old age and lack of energy.

Mama Wei shook her head categorically: "Last night, Niangniang was sympathetic to the old slave, and the old slave slept soundly all night, and now she is in good spirits." ”

Yuehua was no longer reluctant.

The three of them hurriedly went to the Ruian Palace, because of a delay, it was somewhat late, Concubine Ling and others had already arrived, and the Queen Mother had already finished washing, sitting on the top, her face sinking like water.

They had already heard about what happened in the hall yesterday, and they felt sorry for Mo Guhan's refusal to marry Yuehua to Xiliang. Concubine Ling beat her chest even more, secretly annoying that she was not close at the time, otherwise she would definitely add oil and vinegar, or pry the ministers to make suggestions, and eradicate Chu Yuehua in one fell swoop.

They were whispering about yesterday's banquet, and when they saw Chu Yuehua and Li Teng'er entering the dormitory, they stopped laughing and talking, turned their heads and looked her up and down with strange eyes.

They didn't know Li Teng'er, and when they saw that there was a strange girl beside Yuehua, she lowered her head and couldn't see her eyebrows clearly, but it was obviously not the usual Xiangshen who followed her, and she only picked the girl who was easy to use again.

Yuehua stepped forward and respectfully greeted the Queen Mother: "Yuehua is late today, please forgive the Queen Mother." ”

According to the time, she was not late, but the Queen Mother and the concubines had already arrived, and she was late in the end, so she should naturally be polite.

The queen mother didn't care, raised her hand to pardon the flat body, the concubines and Yuehua saw the ceremony, so they sat upright, Li Teng'er bowed her head and stood behind Yuehua, but she also behaved peacefully.

The first to speak was still the Queen Mother. She held the lazy Persian cat in her arms, and said slowly: "The mourning family heard that there was an accident at the peace banquet yesterday. ”

Yuehua didn't know what she was thinking, and glanced at Li Teng'er behind her quietly, and only nodded in agreement: "A joke." ”

"Jokes?" The Queen Mother sneered: "The mourning family heard that Princess Xiliang was convincing, where is the joke?" ”

Yuehua heard that the Queen Mother's tone was not good, so she was silent and stopped talking.

The Queen Mother almost glanced at Yuehua fiercely, and reprimanded herself: "You are the queen of my Chang'an Dynasty, do you know your duty?" ”

Yuehua nodded: "The queen is the wife of the emperor, in charge of five internal affairs, assisting in the six palaces, and solving the emperor's worries, this is Yuehua's duty." ”

"Solve the emperor's worries? As the mother of a country, the mother of the world, then you ask yourself if you can do anything? Before the big right and wrong, are you putting yourself in the emperor's shoes? Are you thinking about the interests of my people in Chang'an? Are you worthy to sit in the queen's seat? ”

The Queen Mother's reprimand, coupled with a straight question, Yuehua vaguely understood what she meant, she was clearly blaming yesterday's banquet for not volunteering to marry Xiliang!

Yuehua still pretended to be inexplicable: "Yuehua really doesn't understand what is wrong with me?" Please also ask the queen mother to make it clear. ”

The Queen Mother was angry for a while, and simply picked out and reprimanded: "That Xiliang is willing to pay the price of two cities in exchange for you marrying as the crown princess, what kind of thing is this for the benefit of the country and the people?" With the strength of one person, you can reach tens of thousands of heroes in my Chang'an, and expand your territory for dozens of miles without a fight, why do you refuse? ”

That's really what she meant, but Yuehua didn't expect that the Queen Mother would make it clear, and it was a tone of asking the teacher. They think that Yuehua should sacrifice herself in exchange for two cities, otherwise it will be heinous!

Yuehua smiled slightly, didn't want to waste her words, and made more excuses: "The emperor coordinates the overall situation, and he doesn't want to naturally have a reason for his unwillingness, Yuehua, as the emperor's wife, is naturally obedient and doesn't dare to be disobedient." ”

Yuehua put the responsibility on Mo Guhan's body in one sentence, if anyone questioned it, he felt that Mo Guhan's decision-making was not wise enough, and the Queen Mother was speechless, not knowing how to refute.

Concubine Ling on the side covered her mouth and snickered: "I didn't expect the queen mother to be so valuable, even the Xiliang royal family has coveted it for a long time." ”

It was hard to hide the sarcasm in his tone.

Yuehua smiled modestly, and swept Li Teng'er behind her at the end of her eyes: "Maybe it's Princess Li Teng'er of Xiliang who hasn't seen Concubine Ling, otherwise, with Concubine Ling's appearance and talent, I'm afraid there will be nothing to do in this palace." ”

Yuehua's compliment was just right, Concubine Ling snorted coldly, and said proudly: "If this palace can have such an opportunity to serve the country with her body, she will definitely not count personal gains and losses, and volunteer to share the emperor's worries and benefit the people of Chang'an!" Repay the emperor's kindness. How can it be a person who is only afraid of perfection? ”

The words were impassioned and righteous, and the concubine immediately praised and flattered: "The righteous concubine is really a model for us." ”

After saying that, he glanced at Yuehua meaningfully, Yuehua only thought that he had not seen it, and still smiled very sincerely: "Is this true?" ”

Concubine Ling snorted coldly from the end of her nose: "According to the mind of the queen mother, it may indeed be impossible to understand my thoughts." I take it for granted. ”

The Queen Mother consciously finally gained the upper hand, and smiled coldly with a slight yin and yang weirdness: "This is the model that the mother should have in the world." ”

Yuehua didn't care, and smiled softly: "It just so happens that Princess Li Teng'er is still in Qingqiu Palace now, and when Yuehua returns to the palace, she will discuss with Her Royal Highness the princess. ”

Concubine Ling sneered lightly and said disdainfully: "As the saying goes, things gather by like, and people are divided by groups, how can my sister be looked at by those barbarians?" ”

These words are to wipe out Yuehua and Li Teng'er, and they are scolded. Yuehua smiled silently, took the tea cup in her hand, and took a leisurely sip.

Li Teng'er behind him raised his eyes and stared at Concubine Ling, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Concubine Ling finally noticed her strangeness, raised her face, and felt that there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes, full of coldness. The anger in her heart burned brightly, and she slapped the case and asked sharply: "You maid is so bold, what are you staring at this palace like this?" ”

Li Teng'er tilted her head and raised her face, everyone saw her eyebrows clearly, and secretly admired in their hearts: "What a bewitching!" ”

Li Teng'er's eyes were wandering, the room was full of light, and she smiled at Concubine Ling: "The maid is just estimating, if the concubine Niangniang arrives in Xiliang, how many cities can it be worth?" ”
