Chapter 24: The Queen's Goal

Shen Lanlan's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Then he looked around, but he didn't see Mo Yingyan's figure, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

Tan Zhixi saw the change in her expression, snorted coldly, turned her head and whispered to the girl in the goose yellow dress beside her, who looked gentle and beautiful.

"Shuya, Tang'er asked someone to bring me a message yesterday, the purpose of the queen's palace banquet today is to choose a concubine for the five princes."

Gu Shuya smiled gently, her eyes were dyed with a deep coldness, "The queen's goal is me." ”

In other words, the tiger talisman in her hand that can mobilize 200,000 city guards is the queen's ultimate goal.

Tan Zhixi groaned slightly, and then understood the queen's thoughts, with a sneer in her eyes, "The queen is really good at calculating." ”

Gu Shuya lowered her eyes, took the silver chopsticks and picked up a piece of plum blossom pastry, and slowly put it into the bowl to admire.

The next second, she jerked her chopsticks into the center of the pastry.

Delicate and beautiful flower-shaped pastries, instantly torn apart,

Gu Shuya's eyes crossed with pleasure, and her gentle voice overflowed with the coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow, "The abacus is good, but it also has to be used." ”

Tan Zhixi took away the silver chopsticks in her hand, and her voice was dyed with worry, "Shuya, Grandpa Gu is the only relative of you, you can't do stupid things." ”

Listening to her sincere concern, Gu Shuya's eyes were cold and murderous, and she patted her hands, "Don't worry." ”

While the two daughters were talking, there were already noble girls performing on stage.

Su Muyao took the stage after Shen Lanlan's performance.

"Courtier Su Muyao see Your Majesty, the queen's mother, Wan Guifei and all the maidens."

Liu Wanyue's eyes paused on Su Muyao, sat up slightly straight, and looked at Emperor Wu Xian, her voice was as melodious as a yellow bird, "The concubine was unwell that day, so she didn't accompany Your Majesty to pray for blessings." ”

"The concubine heard that the concubine's prospective daughter-in-law had to collect her own medicine when she was sick, and the concubine listened to it, and her heart was pinched."

"is also the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the concubine is dressed in gorgeous clothes, but the concubine is not hurt."

Concubine Wan's voice fell, and there was silence in the imperial garden.

There were not a few noble ladies and ladies who saw the scars on Su Ruotang's hands that day.

At this time, when they heard Liu Wanyue's words, they all looked at Su Muyao with a subtle expression.

"Miss Su's set of jewelry, I'm afraid I can't buy it for ten thousand taels of gold, right?"

"A concubine, dressed so luxuriously, is a bit out of place."

"The child is thin and weak, and he doesn't even have a good piece of skin on his wrist, and I feel extremely distressed when I look at it."

"Yes, if my daughter is treated like this, I will have to pay the price for this life."

"But Su Muyao often gives porridge to help the victims, and the Zhang family looks kind, not such a vicious person."

"It's your fate, the husband only has your aunt's wife, so you haven't experienced those methods in the backyard."

Listening to everyone's discussions, Su Muyao's face changed, and her silver teeth were almost crushed.

She borrowed this set of Zifei jewelry, she wanted to dominate the nobles, but she didn't want to be alluded to by Concubine Wan for being inappropriate.

Her behavior is known as a model of a noble lady in the capital, and when Concubine Wan said this tonight, her previous efforts were almost in vain.

She looked at Liu Wanyue softly: "The concubine Niangniang misunderstood, my sister insisted on collecting medicine by herself, and the injury on her body was caused by her falling when she went out to collect medicine." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Wanyue looked behind her and said meaningfully, "Really? ”

Su Muyao just wanted to say yes, when the familiar sound of a broken gong came from behind her, "Sister, people are doing it, the sky is watching, and if you do something bad, you will be punished." ”

She subconsciously turned to look.

Under the moonlight, a handsome and noble man came side by side with a woman with beautiful eyebrows and eyes and a white veil.

The man was dressed in a dark purple robe, with a tie of the same color around his waist gradually turning to cloud white, and a jade pendant hanging down.

The woman wears a dark purple gradient dress, and the color of the skirt is the same cloud white as the end of the men's belt.

The clouds are entangled with the deep purple skirt, and occasionally fireflies sprinkle frost on it.

The two of them came in the moonlight, like a landscape ink painting slowly unfolding.

I don't know if she was too nervous, Su Muyao actually felt that Su Ruotang's voice didn't seem to be as hoarse and unpleasant as before.

Su Ruotang stopped beside Su Muyao and saluted Emperor Wu Shun and the others, "The courtier Su Muyao is late, please forgive your majesty, the queen, and the concubine." ”

She is the future daughter-in-law of the royal family, except for those who have the rank of concubine above the fourth concubine who need to salute.

The concubines under the four concubines had to salute when they saw her.

Emperor Wu Shun looked at Shengxue's skin on her veil, her beautiful and bright eyebrows, and the elegance revealed from her bones, and was slightly stunned, "You are Su Ruotang?" ”

Su Ruotang bowed his head lightly: "Under the avoidance, it is the courtier." ”

Not only Emperor Wu Shun, but even many noble women who had seen Su Ruotang in Qingling Temple that night were a little surprised.

If Su Ruotang that night was an ugly duckling who fell into the dust, then Su Ruotang tonight is an elegant and noble white swan.

It's like two people.

When Liu Wanyue learned that her son was asking to marry Su Ruotang, she did not complain about her son who "suffered from eye disease", but instead sprinkled this anger on Emperor Wushun and did not let him enter her bedroom for three days.

In the past few days, she has not summoned Su Ruotang for a long time, just to do ideological work for herself.

After all, Su Ruotang's ugliness and lack of etiquette are known to everyone in the capital.

When I saw her at this time, even if she herself was a top beauty, she had to admit that Su Ruotang's beauty was unmatched by anyone present.

Bright and beautiful, elegant and noble.

A curtain of white veils adds a bit of mystery and beauty to her.

"Tang'er, come and let the concubine take a good look." Liu Wanyue changed her previous cold attitude, smiled softly and kindly, and did not blame her for being late.

As for Emperor Wu Shun, seeing that Liu Wanyue was so partial to Su Ruotang, he naturally wouldn't go to sweep his concubine's happiness, and temporarily pretended to be blind, and didn't see the two of them being late.

Everyone present was a human spirit, and seeing that Emperor Wu Shun did not blame Su Ruotang for being late for the palace banquet, they all pretended to be blind.

Seeing this, Shen Lanlan was so angry that she almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth.

If it weren't for the excellent material of the handkerchief in her hand, it would have been shattered by her.

Su Ruotang gathered her shirt, walked up to Liu Wanyue with an elegant gait, and bowed down, "Guifei Niangniang." ”

Although her face under the veil is slightly flawed, her speech and demeanor are elegant and comfortable, so that people can't find the slightest mistake.

Liu Wanyue took her hand, a soft face that had not been left traces by the years, and a kind smile, "Good boy." ”

The more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

is worthy of being a son born by himself, and the vision of choosing a daughter-in-law is good.

After exchanging a few words with Su Ruotang, Liu Wanyue took out a turquoise and transparent bracelet from her wrist, put it on Su Ruotang's wrist, and said in a low voice: "This is what my mother left to my granddaughter-in-law, and now I will hand it over to you." ”

Su Ruotang was flattered, and subconsciously wanted to return the bracelet to Liu Wanyue, but she held it down, "Don't you like your mother?" ”

The tears of the beauties always make people feel distressed, especially the beauties like the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which is even more distressing.

Su Ruotang was suddenly defeated, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang is so loving and beautiful, Ruotang is still worried that Niangniang doesn't like Ruotang." ”

Liu Wanyue instantly collected the tears in her eyes and smiled movingly, "Then you will often come to the palace to talk to me in the future." ”

Su Ruotang secretly spit on himself and was fascinated by beauty, so he nodded helplessly.

The queen looked at the scene of this mother's love and filial piety, and became even more depressed, and glared at Mo Xiaoya with hatred.

The daughter-in-law who was sent to the door could be taken away, why did she give birth to such a stupid son!

Liu Wanyue seems to be gentle and peaceful, but over the years, she has never been close to any noble girl, let alone give a bracelet that never leaves her.

For a while, many noble ladies looked at Su Ruotang's eyes with envy, jealousy, and hostility......

Su Ruotang sat back beside Mo Yingyan and almost wanted to slap himself to death.

If you have to be cheap, wipe the powder off your face!

She had applied a dark foundation to her exposed skin outside the veil, looking yellow and thin, her eyes were sunken, and her eyes were blue and black, looking terminally ill.

But when she heard Su Muyao's rumors, she lowered her head and covered it with a handkerchief, and quickly wiped her face with makeup removers.

The result was amazing, but the development was different from what she imagined.

Just as she sat down, a concubine suddenly spoke, "Sister Guifei has always liked women with good looks and talents, and now she likes Miss Su Er so much, presumably Miss Su Er is amazingly talented." ”

"I don't know if we can have eyes and appreciate Miss Suer's talent?"
