Chapter 133: Sycophants (Second Watch)
After a long time, Xiao Jinyue heard the Queen Mother's cold and emotionless cry. Xiao Jinyue calmly thanked the Queen Mother for her grace, and then stood up steadily.
Standing up, she quickly swept forward with her peripheral vision.
The Queen Mother wore a luxurious robe embroidered with gold and silver threads, and sat high on the phoenix chair. His gray hair was combed into an intricate bun and he wore a graceful headdress. The expression on his face revealed a thick majesty, and he stared at Xiao Jinyue with unsmiling eyes.
Seeing her standing still with her eyes and nose and nose attentive, the queen said expressionlessly, "Standing so far away, I am afraid that the mourning family will not be able to eat you." Stand up a little, the mourning family is old and doesn't want to bother to speak loudly. ”
"Yes, Queen Mother."
Xiao Jinyue took a few steps forward gently, and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother, and then said softly, "The courtiers entered Beijing from the border pass, and it was the first time to meet the Queen Mother, so it was inevitable that she was terrified, so she stood farther away. It turned out that the Queen Mother was more kind than she imagined, but Jin Yuebai took a heart.
Who said that the Queen Mother is old, you are dignified and elegant, you have a graceful and luxurious temperament, but you are a model for women in the world to learn. If you put on elegant clothes and stand with my mother, you will definitely look younger than my mother. ”
It is said that thousands of clothes are worn, but sycophants are not worn.
Xiao Jinyue didn't know the Queen Mother's personality before, so in order not to cause trouble, she slapped the Queen Mother lightly. I hope to end this visit as soon as possible and take her mother out of the palace safe and sound.
After all, the prince of Zhenguo was still waiting for her antidote to save her life, and she really didn't want to waste time in the palace.
What woman doesn't want to hear praise for herself? Even if you are the queen mother, you are not exempt from vulgarity. Listening to Xiao Jinyue's words, the Queen Mother couldn't help but quietly compare herself with the Xue family.
Although the Xue family is not old, she has been stationed at the border with Xiao Pingyuan all the year round, and the wind and frost have inevitably left traces on her face, and it seems that she really does not stay in the palace and take good care of herself.
Although the Queen Mother didn't say anything about Xiao Jinyue's sycophancy, her voice sounded a little less indifferent than before.
"The mourning family saw that your rules and etiquette were not bad, and you knew how to advance and retreat when you spoke, why did you do something to rob people on the street? Even because of love and hate, he did such an outrageous thing as poisoning the prince of Zhenguo? ”
Xiao Jinyue had expected the Queen Mother's words in her heart, and just wanted to speak, but in her afterglow, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a pair of bright yellow brocade boots embroidered with a golden dragon under the screen.
Xiao Jinyue's heart froze, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and in the blink of an eye, he immediately retracted his mind.
first knelt down and kowtowed upright, and then said, "Back to the Queen Mother, this matter is not right with Jinyue." However, Jin Yue did not poison the prince of Zhenguo, and asked the queen mother to listen to the courtier's explanation. ”
"It's not you who poisoned it, so you can tell me, what the hell is going on?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, that day the courtiers went to the street and accidentally met the prince of Zhenguo, because Jinyue once made a noise on the street, and it was the prince of Zhenguo who reached out to save Jinyue's life. Jin Yue wanted to step forward to say hello, but unexpectedly found that the face of the prince of Zhenguo was wrong.
Seeing that his face was pale, his lips were black, his eyes were scattered, and there was a strong smell of blood on his body, because Jin Yue had learned a little from a doctor, and guessed that the prince of Zhenguo should have been poisoned and injured.
At that time, Jin Yue was nervous and scared, and wanted to send the prince of Zhenguo back to the house, but because he didn't know where the Zhenguo Mansion was, he could only take him home in a panic.
Jin Yue originally thought that after his father came back from duty, he would ask him to invite a doctor to the prince of Zhenguo to come for diagnosis and treatment, and then send him back to the Zhenguo Mansion.
The next day, seeing that the prince of Zhenguo did not get better, Jin Yue remembered that he had heard the master talk about a detoxification prescription, and hurriedly went up the mountain with the guards and my eldest brother to collect medicine, and did not enter the city until the city gate was opened today. ”
Xiao Jinyue said it really and falsely, and saw that the Queen Mother just listened quietly, and did not say anything, so she had to continue to go down.
"The prince of Zhenguo is Jinyue's life-saving benefactor, Jinyue is only grateful to him, and he does not have the slightest thought, let alone poison him because of love and hatred.
When my father was at the border, he often told Jin Yue and his eldest brother that the emperor of our Yuankang Dynasty was the most intelligent and wise, diligent and diligent for the people, and he was also an emperor who worked hard to govern the country.
If it weren't for the emperor's good knowledge and good duties, let the prince of Zhenguo guard the border pass, and expel the foreign races who will commit crimes in the future, how can we live a stable life today.
My father often taught my eldest brother that the reason why the emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five is that there are countless advantages on him, and he must take the emperor as an example, work hard, and strive to be a loyal emperor to the court and the emperor like the prince of Zhenguo in the future, and guard the country of our Yuankang Dynasty well.
Although Jinyue is a daughter, she has always kept her father's teachings in mind and never dared to forget it, and she will never take revenge on her life-saving benefactor, and please ask the Queen Mother to learn from it. ”
The Queen Mother did not show any attitude towards Xiao Jinyue's words, but turned her head to the screen with a calm face and said, "I don't know what the emperor thinks about this?" ”
There was a slight sound behind the screen, and the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe walked out, "What an emperor through the ages, has your father really praised me like this?" ”
Xiao Jinyue saw the emperor suddenly come out from behind the screen, his face showed a look of surprise mixed with panic at the right time, and faced the emperor's majestic eyes, he immediately knelt down respectfully and bowed, "Courtier Xiao Jinyue knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”
The emperor waved his hand, "Okay, get up and talk back." ”
Xiao Jinyue thanked her and stood up in an orderly manner.
"I see that Marquis Xiao Duyu is on duty in the palace every day, he is more than brave, but he is not enough in strategy, and he is not like a sleek person who will praise me, you... Do you know what the crime of deceiving the king should be? ”
The majesty of the Son of Heaven and many important ministers of the court did not dare to look at it directly, although Xiao Jinyue was not afraid, but secretly pinched the palm with his fingernails, reminding himself to deal with it with twelve points of spirit, and not to ignore every question of the emperor.
Xiao Jinyue knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor again, and then looked at the emperor with admiration and said, "My father really rarely praises others, but his evaluation of the emperor is definitely from the bottom of his heart." Because my father is not the only one who says that the emperor is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people.
Xiao Jinyue grew up in the border pass, what she heard the most was the praise of the people at the border pass for the emperor, even the children at the border pass knew that the emperor was the Dinghai God Needle of our Yuankang Dynasty, and it was the protector of hundreds of people in the border pass......
When the emperor heard this, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, but he just looked at Xiao Jinyue fixedly.
And Xiao Jinyue was neither humble nor arrogant and let the emperor look at her, without the slightest emptiness on her face, and there was only admiration and sincerity in her eyes.
