Just as the Queen Mother was smiling happily, she suddenly saw Nangong Ling pouting towards her. Her laughter suddenly stopped, and she instantly regained her majesty. A pair of almond-shaped eyes glanced at the ministers in the room without leaving a trace, but she saw that they were a little agitated.
With a panicked expression, I realized that I had gone too far.
"This object is naturally the best of jade, but in my opinion, it is not as beautiful as an adult given by the queen to the king's younger brother. It is given to the future princess of King Yu as a wedding gift. I heard that the fourth lady of the Shui family is also here today to congratulate the queen on her birthday.
" When the Emperor saw that the Queen Mother had restrained herself, he changed the subject of the conversation. He appropriately relieved the Queen Mother of his words and once again threw the burden to Nangong Yu.
Everyone in the capital didn't know that the future concubine of King Yu was a humble concubine daughter of the Shui family. The prince of the dignified Jinxi Dynasty actually married a concubine as his concubine. It was really laughable and was an insult to the dignity of the royal family.
But there was no way. The marriage was the decree of the late emperor. Even Nangong Ling could not change it against the emperor's will. What's more, it would embarrass Nangong Yu, so he was happy to turn a blind eye. Why not?
Why?
"Swish, swish, swish".[
Shui Lianyue only felt that everyone's eyes were on her. Although she still acted so calmly, and although she was fully prepared to deal with the difficulties at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.
"I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would let a lowly concubine enter the palace. It's really true."
"Yes, I heard that she is the most unpopular daughter of the Shui family. I didn't expect that she would become Princess Yu."
"I heard that she stayed in a brothel for three years. I don't know if it's true. From what I've heard, the body must have been lost long ago."
"Looking at her appearance, she must have learned the art of fox charm. I heard that even the second son of the Chu family fell in love with her."
"Who says it's not the case? I heard from my father that the second son of the Chu family, regardless of Prince Yu's face, went to the Shui family to propose marriage and even brought the betrothal gift."
"".
"Well, I guess, I'm not sure, she is also having an affair with the second son of the Chu family."
Just when Shui Lianyue stood up and knelt down to worship the Queen Mother, the surrounding voices of discussion gradually started to sound. She lowered her head slightly. When she passed by Nangong Yu, she glanced at her eyelids, but saw that his expression remained calm. For some reason
, there was an inexplicable sense of relief in my heart.
"The folk girl Shui Lianyue kowtows to the emperor and wishes her long live, long live, long live. She kowtows to the Queen Mother and wishes her longevity, thousand years and thousand years."
Shui Lianyue bowed her head and knelt down. When she met the Queen Mother and the Emperor for the first time, she had to perform the grand ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times. What's more, she was about to become a member of the royal family, so this ceremony was a must.
After she finished the ceremony, she was still kneeling on the ground. The Emperor and Queen Mother did not allow her to stay flat, so she had to keep kneeling.
Damn it, I just wanted her Shui Lianyue to kneel down to her master or mother, but now she has been kneeling for such a long time and still doesn't let her get up.
"Well, raise your head."
Just as she was cursing secretly, she suddenly heard the Queen Mother asking her to raise her head. She hesitated for a moment, and then slowly raised her head.
The Queen Mother just glanced at Shui Lianyue lightly, her almond-shaped eyes flashed with disdain quickly, but when Shui Lianyue raised her head, she was stunned, and even Nangong Ling beside her was slightly startled. This woman's skin was like cream,
The raised eyebrows are as light as the distant mountains, and there is a faint luster between the pair of phoenix eyes. The wandering gaze is a little more seductive, the lips are pink, and the pointed face sets off the exquisitely carved facial features, plus the white dark flowers.
Her robes are not gorgeous, but they are also generous and decent. They are really graceful and graceful, always showing a bit of otherworldly temperament, like a fairy walking out of a painting.
When the ministers saw the strangeness between the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and found that the Emperor's Concubine's expression was even more exaggerated, they were instigated by curiosity. Some of them stretched their necks to watch. It didn't matter. The discussions that had not yet subsided became heated again.
rang.
"Is this the despicable concubine of the Shui family?"
"I am over fifty years old, and I have never seen such beauty in the world."?[
"Don't say it's you, even the three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem can't compare to her beauty."
"Shhh, keep your voice down, be careful if the emperor hears it. This is going to be beheading. Don't your words make it clear that the emperor is shabby?"
"Humph, you bastard, you only have a skin. Why should you be so proud? I'll wait for the female family to present a birthday gift to the Queen Mother. I'd like to see what she can do with it."
"Keep your voice down, don't forget, she has been in a brothel, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, and pleasing men, there is nothing she can't do"?
