Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Fox Fake the Tiger
Ma Zao Embroidery's unhindered words made Xue Qiaoling's white and greasy face instantly whiter, she raised her eyes, and what greeted her beautiful eyes was Ma Zao Embroidery's smiling face like a flower, and her gorgeous smile was like a spring breeze in February.
She originally thought that she could borrow the horse jujube embroidery to climb to the queen mother, please the queen mother and her old man, and the palace election in the future can have a few more chances of winning, but she never thought that the horse jujube embroidery would destroy her plan.
Thanks to the love of the Queen Mother's aunt, the Queen Mother's aunt took time out of her busy schedule, and Xiu'er was grateful but also guilty. Ma Zao embroidered Shi Shiran and bowed.
The Empress Dowager's eyes were kind and kind, "You are the only descendant daughter of my Ma family, who should you treat if the mourning family doesn't treat you well." ”
Ma Zao embroidered a shy smile, hung his head suddenly, and pretended to be shy and well-behaved.
"The queen mother is auspicious, and the little lord is auspicious. A woman dressed in lotus pink and a bun walked over with a plate of pastries, standing in front of the queen mother and the horse jujube embroidery.
With just one glance, the queen mother's eyes were subconsciously attracted by the pastry in the handmaid's hand.
The pastry is engraved in the shape of a plum blossom with a very delicate process, and the engraver can be seen at the edges of the edges with great care.
"It's exquisite, isn't this pastry made by Xiu'er herself?" The Queen Mother's eyes lit up slightly, looking a little novel, "The mourning family remembers, Xiu'er, your ten fingers don't touch the spring water, don't say it's such a delicate pastry, even if it's an ordinary dim sum, you can't master its skills." ”
But such delicate pastries did not come from the imperial dining room of the palace......
Ma Zao embroidered a smile like a flower, stepped forward to take the pastry in the handmaid's hand, brought it to the Queen Mother, and explained one by one, "Does the Queen Mother ever remember that the Murong Mingyue girl who went to my Mafu to attend the birthday banquet of Xiu'er that day? ”
"The mourning family remembers, this time she also entered the palace, so it's okay, if you are good friends with her, the two of them will also have a care. The Empress Dowager smiled with relief, "Besides, the Murong family is also a family of celebrities......"
The word "Celebrity House" was like a sharp knife piercing Xue Qiaoling's heart, and blood was dripping immediately.
Although Xue Mansion can be regarded as a big family, it really has little to do with the family of celebrities, she looks forward to climbing the dragon and the phoenix and flying to the high branches, but because of her humble status, she has been repeatedly looked down upon. Yes, the Queen Mother's words really hit the weakest point in Xue Qiaoling's heart.
A woman with a low background is best at enduring humiliation and burden, and tends to be inflammatory, Xue Qiaoling, who has been the true inheritance of the Lin family since she was a child, is like this, her beautiful eyes are smiling, and she has never shown the slightest embarrassment and resentment on her face from beginning to end.
"Mingyue is not only a family of celebrities, but also soft and gentle, and it is difficult to know Shu Dali, she is indeed the best choice for handkerchiefs. Ma Zao embroidered Yan Yan with a smile, and deliberately held Murong Mingyue into the sky.
Although she and Murong Mingyue are not friends, if she is asked to choose a person who can help her succeed in the future, this person will undoubtedly be Murong Mingyue.
Previously, she intended to include Xue Qiaoling as a candidate, but when she entered the palace today, she saw that Xue Qiaoling was actually helping the little slut in Liang Mansion, so she dispelled this idea. Now that she happened to live in the same dormitory as Xue Qiaoling, and it happened that the Queen Mother was there in person, she naturally wanted to use the Queen Mother's face to hit Xue Qiaoling hard to vent the grievances she received when she entered the palace.
"Xue girl, don't just stand, come and sit together. The Queen Mother waved to Xue Qiaoling for the first time, "You just stand and look at the mourning family, the mourning family is really uncomfortable, today the mourning family will give you a grace and give you a seat." ”
The queen mother's words were like good news from outside the sky, Xue Qiaoling was stunned, and then she was overjoyed and bowed, sitting on the side of the horse jujube embroidery, respectful.
"Come, Miss Murong's pastry is really good, you can also give it a try and evaluate it. The Queen Mother said lightly, so that people could not hear the joy and anger.
Xue Qiaoling seemed to have received a great gift, and after thanking her, she picked up one of the pastries and tried to put it in her mouth.
Ma Zaoxiu picked up a cup of tea at the right time and attached it with a smile, "Although the pastry is delicious, the entrance is dry, Qiaoling might as well drink a cup of tea to moisten her throat." ”
"Oops-" The tea sprinkled Xue Qiaoling without warning, the tea was already hot, sprinkled on her thin silk satin, causing Xue Qiaoling to exclaim, she almost subconsciously, let go of the handkerchief and wiped it on her body.
The pastry unsurprisingly rolled to the ground.
Xue Qiaoling didn't bother to wipe her clothes, so she hurriedly got up and fell to the ground, trembling and trembling, "The courtier is guilty, and I implore the Queen Mother to punish her." ”
The queen mother raised her eyes and glanced at Ma Zao Xiu lightly, but when she saw Ma Zao Xiu pouting dissatisfiedly, she immediately felt at ease.
No wonder Xiu'er praised Murong Mingyue so much in front of her, thinking that this Xue girl inadvertently offended Xiu'er......
"You don't have any intentions, go down and change your clothes, don't worry about anything else. The Queen Mother still has a faint voice, and her face is as indifferent as usual, which makes people unable to see joy and anger.
"Yes. ”
Seeing this, Ma Zao Xiu smiled openly, and his jaw was subconsciously raised.
At first, he used Murong Mingyue to attract the attention of the Queen Mother, but it was just that Xue Qiaoling was a little uncomfortable on his face, but he never thought that Xue Qiaoling was so ignorant of what to do, she actually climbed up the pole, so thick-skinned, what if she didn't beat it?
It is undeniable that the horse jujube embroidery is indeed very effective, when the queen mother was surrounded by many maids and eunuchs, she saw with her own eyes Xue Qiaoling's beautiful eyes flashed embarrassment and humiliation in an instant after changing into simple clothes.
Xue Hainiang and Liang Bairou's place-
Liang Bairou sat sullenly on the soft couch with her cheeks crossed, and when she saw Xue Hainiang coming with a fruit bowl, she couldn't help but sigh lightly, "The Queen Mother's time is really shocking." ”
Xue Hainiang said with a smile, indifferent and said, "Ma Zaoxiu is her own niece and nephew, and she is looking forward to another powerful queen mother in the Ma family." ”
Liang Bairou pondered for a moment, and only after a while did she say in a deep voice: "Would the important ministers of the court really allow the Ma family to dominate like this?" Although she lived in a simple house, her father and grandfather were both important ministers in the court, and she had heard a little about the affairs of the court.
Xue Hainiang smiled lightly, "This matter shouldn't be something that women like me should worry about." She skillfully changed the topic, "Ten days later, it will be the day when Aunt Chu Xiugong will test our palace rules and etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Hai Niang heard that this session has one more harsh topic than usual......"
The corners of Liang Bairou's lips twitched slightly, and she smiled a little shyly, "Bai Rou has heard a little, and she has been worrying about this matter in recent days." ”
