Most of the wives of Qiyun Society have never seen big events. They live in an inconspicuous corner of the inner courtyard. It is a great honor to go to the birthday banquet of the wife of a second-rank official on weekdays.
Therefore, what happened now was enough to make them fry.
Fortunately, as long as someone can pay attention, they seem to have a backbone and no longer panic.
Therefore, after Xu Nuo finished speaking, the ladies in Qiyun Society slowly became quiet, standing or sitting, and no one made any more noise.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Xu Nuo used the psychological techniques he had learned in his previous life to comfort him with a few words, then turned around and left with Hu Ling.
They were not allowed to bring the maids and nuns with them when they entered the palace. They had to do it themselves and interviewed the eunuch in charge.
In fact, the person who is most worried about something going wrong is not the people from Qiyun Club, but the eunuch in charge of the program items, Eunuch You.
Eunuch You was leisurely drinking tea in the wing room, and there was a little eunuch who was beating his legs.
Xu Nuo and Hu Ling suddenly broke in and told him that the embroidered shoes for the Cuju performance were gone.
He immediately jumped up, dropped the tea cup and ran out to see for himself what was going on.
Xu Nuo and Hu Ling followed closely behind.
This banquet was the first state banquet hosted by the Queen after she became the mother of a country. It was also hosted by her, which was quite important to her.
The holding of this state banquet in a sense represents the queen's ability.
Many people are watching in the dark.
Either looking forward to it, or waiting to see a good show.
Eunuch You had served the Queen before, so this time he naturally wanted to give the Queen a break and do his best.
The key is that since he is responsible for these things, he must bear the responsibility for any mistakes.
Although the emperor is kind and will not sentence people to death easily, as long as someone makes a few jealous remarks in front of the emperor, the emperor can make him live on the street even if he is slightly dissatisfied.
What's more, he also knows the Queen's methods. If he ruins the Queen's affairs, his end will not only be living on the street.
He would rather offend the emperor than the queen.
He had endured for many years, and was promoted to this position a month ago when the queen got the post, and now he finally had a chance to perform.
I thought it was foolproof, but something went wrong.
Looking at the empty box, Eunuch You took a breath and hurriedly called his men to ask questions.
There is still half an hour before the Cuju performance, so I have to find my shoes during this period.
Whether this matter is big or small, it is only right to find something in time so that the Cuju performance can be carried out on time.
Eunuch You asked his young eunuch to tell him what happened this morning in detail. After hearing this, he shook his head, frowned and sent someone to look for the thing.
Hu Ling went back first to talk to Lu Jiuniang about what he needed to pay attention to when he came on stage later, while Xu Nuo was waiting next to Eunuch You.
After Eunuch You finished asking, she asked the three eunuchs who handled the shoes a question: "Were all the shoes there when you checked them? Are they thirteen pairs?"
"Replying to Mrs. Xu Liu, I saw it when I was young. There are indeed thirteen pairs, and there is no shortage of one pair."
"Yes, I turned over each pair. It is indeed thirteen pairs."
"I remember there were three pairs of bigger ones, two pairs of smaller ones, and the rest were all the same size."
After hearing this, Xu Nuo curled up the corners of his mouth and pointed a few times: "You two go first, you stay."
The third eunuch who answered was promised to stay.
"Sixth Lady, I was the first to check the clothes. They checked them after I had done so. There is no way the things could be lost in my hands."
The third eunuch watched the other two leave with relief, took a step forward and promised to explain.
Looks innocent.
Xu Nuo still smiled and did not speak.
She had interrogated many cunning criminals in her previous life, so this fact did not trouble her.
In logic, the third eunuch's way of answering is called "talkative".
The word "talkative" in a true or false proposition must be false.
She only asked if it was thirteen pairs, but the third eunuch did not answer the question about thirteen, but specifically stated the size to show that he had indeed checked the shoes.
Obviously "talkative".
I don’t know how many boxes these eunuchs have to check in the morning. Who would pay special attention to the size of the shoes?
When Xu Nuo looked directly at the little eunuch, he did not try to hide his true gaze. It was sharp and calm, making the little eunuch's legs tremble.
Seeing that the little eunuch was panicking, Xu Nuo said, "Just because you're the first to check it doesn't mean you won't touch it again."
The tone of her voice was that of stating the facts, leaving no room for doubt.
The little eunuch avoided Promise's gaze and kept shaking his head.
The eyes of the sixth lady of the Xu family were so powerful that her legs felt weak. If she continued like this, he would really die.
"When did you get it?"
"Where did you put it?"
"Whose instructions are you following?"
Xu Nuo asked three questions in a leisurely manner.
The little eunuch was mentally shocked before, but now in order to get out of the promise's sight as soon as possible, he answered all the questions in a daze.
Xu Nuo's expression darkened after hearing this. He said, "Go back." Then he turned around and left to join Hu Ling.
The moment he turned around, the look in Xu Nuo's eyes disappeared, leaving only the playfulness and anxiety of the young lady.
After meeting Hu Ling, Xu Nuo immediately told the location where the shoes were hidden as asked by the young eunuch.
The shoes were recovered soon after.
Everything was ready, but the ladies of Qiyun Society were still a little nervous, and the two younger ones were trembling a little when they spoke.
Xu Nuo suggested that they put their hands on the wall to relieve their tension.
This method of reducing stress is very convenient and effective. I promise that I have used it many times and only mentioned it when I found it useful.
The ladies of Qiyun Club stayed together for a while, supporting the wall. After straightening up, their nervousness dissipated a lot.
The most eye-catching thing about the Cuju performance is the numerous and complicated movements. Hu Ling did some extremely difficult somersaults and handstands, while Xu Nuo used extraordinary football kicks to kick a few very difficult and entertaining moves. A valuable move, he also used his shoulders and knees to head the ball and pass the ball to Hu Ling, which was very exciting.
The coordinated movements of everyone were also perfect. There were no errors in either the rhythm or the range of movements. Every movement was exactly as expected.
The performance was successfully completed.
It can be said that there were no near misses all day long.
After Xu Nuo left the stage and landed at the back of the team, she saw Eunuch You waving to her.
"Mrs. Xu Liu, you have really helped me a lot today, and I, You Er, can't thank you enough. If Mrs. Xu Liu needs me to do anything in the future, I will do it through fire and water."
After asking the three young eunuchs, he had no clue at all. He searched haphazardly for a while with no results. His heart was in his throat and he was so nervous that he almost lost his temper.
Later, I learned that Xu Nuo had found the person who hid the shoes and found the shoes. He leaned against the wall as if he had taken off his clothes, and it took him a while to recover.
"After that, please do me a favor now." Xu Nuo said as he walked away, with full seriousness on his face. r1152
