CHAPTER XXXI
After all, in the past few months, she has been a hotly discussed person in Beijing, who doesn't want to look at this person who is the sole favor of King Gongjing, how to make a fool of himself.
The queen on the throne cast a casual gaze, obviously a posture of watching the excitement without caring about herself.
Although all kinds of unfriendly eyes pierced her eyes, Mo Shuoyue was unconscious, and the expression on her face was like a distant mountain and near water rendered in ink, and she only felt peaceful and gentle in the mist.
She squatted down to help the palace maid up, with a faint smile on her face, "Sister palace maid's kneeling made Shuoyue a little overwhelmed, I really don't know what happened, can sister palace maid tell me?" β
The young palace maid was a little stunned by such a reversal, "Fang Cai, just now, the villain, the villain accidentally ......"
"Miss Mo is really good at behaving, I just saw with my own eyes that this maid accidentally spilled hot soup on you, so she is so panicked, why do you pretend to be generous and knowingly ask?"
Li Lexian, who was standing in front of the crowd, directly grabbed the white and smiled gloatingly, after all, she was the proud daughter of the sky and never knew how to be considerate of others. Mo Shuoyue quietly looked at her with a clear and vague posture of wanting to watch her make a fool of herself, I really don't know if I should praise her - open-minded.
"You've been doused with hot soup?" Jiang Yuan, who was still "burying his head in hardship" at the last moment before leaving, originally had nothing to do with himself, and his ears did not listen to what was happening around him.
But as soon as she heard that Mo Shuoyue was spilled with hot soup, her honest and blank expression instantly turned into a melancholy look, and she hurriedly got up, "Where, show me quickly." β
The light scarlet skirt was as elegant as ever, without the slightest water stain, and the luxurious Persian carpet was clean and tidy, and there was no dirt.
If there must be something confusing, it is that there are still a few drops of milky white soup in the concubine cup in the palace maid's hand, indicating that Fang Cai's scene is not an illusion. It's just that Mo Shuoyue deliberately blocked in front of Jiang Zhen just now, and this person who was bent on eating just missed a "big show".
Jiang Zhen looked left and right, looked at Mo Shuoyue back and forth, and finally grinned and said, "Alas, it scared me a lot!" The immortal belly that was just served was very hot, and if it was poured on the body, it would not burn off a layer of skin. β
"Maybe the palace maid made a mistake in the chaos and didn't serve the hot soup, but mistakenly thought it fell on me." Mo Shuoyue's face still had a faint smile, and her expression was as peaceful as ever, like ink.
The county lord of Lexian snorted coldly, "Heh, I just saw it clearly, you got up and bumped into the palace maid, so a light of immortal belly was sprinkled on you." Miss Mo's style is really ridiculous and cowardly, since the incident has happened, the palace maid has also apologized, and the left and right are just dressed up, why keep pretending to be calm and generous, what, because the queen mother is present, you have to do it on purpose? Make people think you have a lot of belly to hold the boat? β
"Sister Shuoyue doesn't have to be like this, my sister also saw it. I know that your first time attending a court banquet, you will inevitably not know how to deal with it. It's just that the clothes are not neat, it is inevitable that the queen and the ladies will feel that the upbringing is wrong, and my sister just brought an extra set of dresses, so my sister might as well go with me to change it. β
In the end, Li Qingwan finally couldn't help it, picked up the conversation, and said her true intentions.
Mo Shuoyue looked at her, a mockery flashed in her eyes, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and she paved the way for a long time, but it was just to let her speak by herself.
She slowly turned her gaze to Li Rongshi, watched her brows frown more and more, and smiled lightly when she completely sensed that something was wrong: "Really? Whether a bowl of hot soup was spilled on me, even I, the person concerned, and the people close to me felt that it was a nonsense, but I didn't expect that Lord Lexian and Miss Li could see it so clearly from a few feet apart. If you say that you don't care about Shuoyue very much, no one will believe you when you say it. Caring for Shuoyue so much really makes me feel inexplicably grateful. β
As he spoke, he bowed to Li Lexian Yingying, and then turned to the palace maid, and said softly: "Since entering the palace today, all the palace people I have met have behaved in a measured and orderly manner. It can be seen that the queen is well-governed and disciplined, and Shuoyue is deeply admired in her heart. It's just that this palace maid's sister can't help but ...... It's a little rough, it's very different from what Shuoyue encountered before, I don't know if my sister is because of the new palace, the rules are not familiar? β
The people present, if they say that the courtiers are too young, maybe they are too naΓ―ve and simple, and they can't hear the strangeness of this, but the ladies and wives in the palace are all human spirits, how can they not understand?
On such an occasion, most of everyone's attention is on themselves and the nobles in the palace, who would pay attention to a little girl who is a fourth-grade petty official and has not even entered the house?
Therefore, looking at Mo Shuoyue's calm and waveless expression, and because Jiang Yuan, who was closest to her, didn't see that scene, she felt that such an accident was clearly arranged by someone, but it was quietly resolved by the person concerned.
The parties and the people nearby said that there was no hot soup spilling, but the two people who were separated from each other were sure that there was one singing and one harmony, if it was not arranged by one of them, who would believe it?
Who arranged it, Mo Shuoyue was just a few faint words, which directly made people not admit themselves. is really worthy of being a detective wizard praised by everyone, and in a few words, he directly solved the case, which can't help but make people look at this seventeen-year-old girl with admiration.
Attracting people to change clothes, and then arranging an "accident" that destroys the reputation of Miss Liangjia, such a boudoir trick is not in the stream, but it is the most effective.
In the eastern city of Kyoto, the arrogant and domineering Li Rong was deflated by the daughter of his rival, and this matter was a pastime for everyone in the boudoir.
Therefore, who arranged it, there is no need to say anything about this matter, everyone naturally knows it.
Of course, the last few words are the key.
Mo Shuoyue said that the palace maid in front of her behaved roughly, which was very different from other palace maids, but didn't it imply that this low-level palace maid might not be from the middle palace?
This kind of untargeted suspicion in front of the master's family can be described as very risky, but the cleverness of Mo Shuoyue's words lies in the fact that she deliberately praised the law-abiding palace maids first, but in fact, she is not even more clear that the master's family has a good way to govern the family, has a good skill, and has outstanding ability, who is not useful for such a way of praise?
Therefore, even if she behaved boldly and was suspected of exceeding the rules, the women looked at the queen's slightly raised eyebrows, and everyone knew that this sycophant was at the right time, and the balance of the superior was obviously tilted towards the well-known "detective wizard" in Beijing.
Empress Xiao glanced at Li Lexian lightly, and said unhurriedly: "This palace doesn't know that the maid of the middle palace is so careless and negligent in the rules. Fortunately, Lexian found out in time, only to know that the palace was negligent in management, and the palace maid Xingzhi behaved lazily. β
