Chapter 661: It's Time to Hit the Nail Hard
Knowing that the Queen Mother was picking bones in eggs and deliberately embarrassing herself, Chi Xinian was too lazy to change the process of welcoming people.
When it was time to lead people to visit, they led the harem concubines and female officials from all walks of life to visit, and when it was time to hold a banquet to catch the wind, they held a lively and festive banquet.
The Queen Mother naturally blamed her for taking her words as a deaf ear.
And these reproaches Chi Xinian didn't take it to heart at all, his left ear went in and out of his right ear, and he nodded at the end and said, "You're right, but it's all the junior's mind."
is plain and calm, which makes the Queen Mother's eyes even colder.
can be angry, but the Queen Mother has no way to take her attitude.
First, she attributed everything to her heart, and the bad things of being an elder were brushed away at will. Second, on the grounds that Concubine Xue was still reflecting on her recent crimes, she pushed a lot of things to Lin Jieyu, who ranked third.
With the queen mother's niece mixed in this, the word "heart" is lined even more.
Outsiders only felt when they saw it: the straight-tempered queen can be so modest, thinking about the queen mother and the Lin family in everything, she must really treat them as a family.
…
The moon and stars are scarce, and the breeze blows away the heat of the day.
The queen mother, who had just bathed, sat in front of the dressing table, and let the grandmother who was waiting for her respectfully wipe her hair.
Suddenly, someone from the palace came to report, saying that Lin Jieyu had arrived with a hand-copied scripture and asked to see her outside.
"Let her in." The Queen Mother bowed lightly.
After a while, Lin Jieyu followed a calm palace maid to the inner hall and greeted the Queen Mother: "The concubine will meet the Queen Mother." ”
The Queen Mother raised her hand and beckoned: "You come forward." ”
Lin Jieyu handed over the wooden box in her hand to the palace maid who led the way, walked to the queen mother's side, took the silk handkerchief in the old lady's hand, and continued to wipe it for the queen mother.
At the same time, he asked softly: "My aunt sent someone to find a concubine to ask for scriptures, but she has something to order?" ”
She was not instructed to copy the scriptures at all, and the Queen Mother suddenly sent someone to ask, naturally to find an excuse to see her.
But she didn't understand, why did the Queen Mother summon her?
They are aunts and nephews, and they can't see anyone when they see each other in private?
"Thinking about the scriptures?" The Queen Mother saw Lin Jieyu's thoughts at a glance, and hooked her lips indifferently, "The scriptures are just the reason for finding the queen's bad luck." ”
"Is it superficial to accuse the queen? He talks about respect every day, but he doesn't even help to copy a few scriptures? Lin Jieyu could only think of this.
After all, when the queen mother came in and tore the queen, it was all about all kinds of trivial things.
Doesn't make much sense.
Just to make people look discordant.
Of course, this is also their purpose - they just want outsiders to understand that the Lin family and the emperor are not a cooperative relationship.
"That's what mourning means, but it's not the most important thing." The Queen Mother raised her eyes slightly, and looked at the obedient woman behind her through the bronze mirror, "After a few contacts, the queen is not as simple and kind as described in your letter. Perhaps, it's time for the mourners to be heavy-handed. ”
When Lin Jieyu heard this, she couldn't help but pause in her hand movements.
She couldn't help it, and subconsciously peeked at the person in the glass.
Facing the deep gaze of the Queen Mother, she quickly lowered her head again: "Aunt forgiveness, it's my niece who didn't do what you explained." ”
"But—" Biting her lip, she whispered again, "Niece still thinks that the queen is not too difficult to deal with. She has a pure heart, a sense of justice, and loves to help the weak, which is a fatal flaw at critical moments. ”
