Tang Ning: "..."
Several ladies: "..."
Although it was not obvious, they still saw the slight twitching in the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes.
A group of people looked at Fu Jinrou in silence for a moment, and then turned away their eyes.
It's just that she is the Queen Mother after all. She has seen too many scenes. Looking at Fu Jinrou's face that looked like makeup, his eyes fell on her simple and elegant yet extremely exquisite dress that clearly showed her care.
The soft color on the Queen Mother's face instantly faded a lot, and her tone was obviously not as kind as when she spoke to Qian Qiyue just now. She only said calmly:
"You are indeed good-looking. No wonder your great-aunt always praises you."
Fu Jinrou couldn't see her face, and she didn't know the power of Mrs. Fu's previous handkerchiefs. She saw that the Queen Mother had a good attitude towards her, and the preferential treatment Qian Qiyue had just received from the Queen Mother also gave her a little more confidence. She was as soft and weak as she usually spoke to people, with red eyes and a bit of sobs.
"Jinrou pays homage to the Queen Mother and thanks the Queen Mother for her compliments."
The mist in the beauty's eyes and the pear blossoms with rain are naturally arousing pity. If Fu Jinrou is like this on weekdays, she will naturally be very beautiful.
But now...
The face is indeed pretty, but the mottled and uneven skin color is really unbearable to look at.
Mrs. Cao couldn't help but touched Mrs. Fu's arm, hoping to ask her to think of a way to remind Fu Jinrou so that she would not continue to be embarrassed.
Mrs. Fu remained motionless.
Mrs. Cao frowned, feeling that this cousin was really confused. It was okay to be carefree on weekdays, but Fu Jinrou was still living in the Fu family. What good would it do to the Fu family to let her continue to be embarrassed like this? If not, she would be implicated. I got Fu Laiqing, my cousin.
Mrs. Cao wanted to open her mouth to help Fu Jinrou, but before she could open her mouth, Mrs. Fu held her down with quick eyes and hands.
She turned her head, and Mrs. Fu winked at her to signal her not to speak.
Whatever you say, she is enjoying herself!
Fu Jinrou was kneeling on the ground and could not see the "lawsuit" on the faces of Mrs. Fu and others beside her. She just said softly with tears in her eyes:
"Jinrou has admired the Queen Mother for a long time, and because my uncle and aunt were worried about your body being unable to sleep at night and almost falling ill, so I learned that the palace was hiring someone to serve you today, so I invited you to serve in the palace."
"Jinrou knows that her status is not as good as that of the Queen Mother, nor that of other ladies, but I just want to pay tribute to my great-uncle and stay with the Queen Mother to serve the medicine. Jinrou just wants the Queen Mother to recover as soon as possible, and there is no other way. think."
The Queen Mother looked at the tearful little girl who was obviously weak but showed a certain tenacity. Not only did she not appreciate her at all, but her expression became even darker.
Seeing this, Rong Yue couldn't help but shake her head inwardly.
This Fu Jinrou is really too smart. She not only wants to show her filial piety to Mrs. Fu, but also wants to show her goodwill to the Queen Mother. She also wants to take the opportunity to rubbish Princess Huan's previous words. But who is the Queen Mother? What about the harem? The Queen Mother has seen many scheming and cunning women.
Just now, Fu Jinrou made a mistake in her makeup, which already made the Queen Mother have a bad impression. It would be fine if she was honest, but she wanted to show off so much. With Tang Ning in front of her to pave the way for Qian Qiyue, the little girl from the Qian family was humble and polite. With sincerity at the forefront, Fu Jinrou's demeanor fell into disgrace in an instant.
One is to pray for the country and the Queen Mother, chanting Buddha and chanting sutras in the mansion without claiming credit.
An over-the-top girl who can dress up but loses her etiquette in front of the saints, and is still shrewd in every possible way.
The Queen Mother naturally understood who was sincere.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother said to Fu Jinrou: "It is good that you have this intention, but filial piety comes first. Since Mrs. Fu is not in good health, you should stay in the house and take good care of her. How can you give up for the mourning family?" Your great-uncle?"
Fu Jinrou's face froze.
The corners of Mrs. Fu's lips curled up and she almost laughed out loud, but she quickly suppressed it again.
The Queen Mother seemed not to see the expression on Fu Jinrou's face, and only turned to look at Tang Ning:
"You child, you brought this girl from the Qian family into the palace out of filial piety. How could the Ai family blame it? Princess Huan, on the other hand, neither the Ai family nor the emperor said a word in this forbidden palace. When will it be your turn to come forward and teach the courtier's daughter a lesson? ?”
"Are you, the princess, older than the Queen Mother of the Ai family?"
"I don't dare!" Princess Huan kowtowed quickly with a pale face: "I don't dare..."
"okay."
The Queen Mother did not give Princess Huan any chance to defend herself, and directly said to her in a deep voice:
"As a princess, you represent the royal family behind you, not you alone, but you are talking nonsense in Shoukang Palace, insulting others, and even hurting others. Is this the upbringing of your Shen family?"
Princess Huan's face became paler, but she had no choice but to lower her head when facing the Queen Mother's increasingly stern eyes.
It would be fine if the Queen Mother talked about Prince Huan's Mansion, but she was talking about "the upbringing of the Shen family."
She has already married into the royal family, but she still has her mother's family behind her. The entire Shen family, and the girls from the direct and side branches of the Shen family, cannot afford to be known as "uneducated". If the Queen Mother's words today spread, then The marriage prospects of all the girls in the entire Shen family would be ruined by her alone.
Princess Huan whispered: "I know that I have made a mistake, and I beg the Queen Mother to punish me."
The Queen Mother said: "You should know that it is not the Aijia who is wrong."
Princess Huan's face trembled, wishing she could dig a crack in the ground and crawl in, but she still had to turn to face Rong Yue: "Mrs. Rong Guo, it's my fault. I shouldn't joke about your reputation, and I shouldn't laugh. Princess Naoxiangning, please... forgive me..."
She lowered her head a little with every word she spoke. If she was pretending to cry in order to get the Queen Mother to forgive her, now she was really about to cry in humiliation.
Rongyue pursed her lips: "Tang Ning and I have no big grudges against you, so the jokes should be moderate."
Princess Huan was extremely humiliated: "Yes."
The Queen Mother looked at Qian Qiyue: "What about you?"
Qian Qiyue waved her hands quickly: "I don't have any grudge against Princess Huan. It's just some misunderstandings in the past. Princess Huan is dissatisfied with me. I have a bad temper and sometimes can't help but contradict Princess Huan. She doesn't care about my offense. It’s already a blessing, how dare I blame the princess.”
Queen Mother Qian looked at the little girl with a look like "I don't dare, but I don't like Princess Huan, and sometimes I really can't help it." She was also applying eye drops to Princess Huan, but the Queen Mother couldn't bear it. Just laugh out loud.
"You are honest."
Qian Qiyue smiled sheepishly: "Isn't the Queen Mother here..."
The Queen Mother understood what she meant. If she were not here, this little girl would not let Princess Huan go.
Not only was she not annoyed, but her smile became even brighter.
Maybe it's because she's getting older, but the Queen Mother likes to look lively. It's not that she doesn't like people playing tricks in front of her. It's a good thing for a little girl to be a little bit sneaky, but she doesn't like to treat everyone as a fool like Fu Jinrou. mind.
