Immediately afterwards, curious eyes, disdainful eyes, and disdainful eyes were cast on Shui Lianyue again, but she saw a calm expression, looking at the emperor, the empress dowager and the imperial concubine, she slightly blessed her body, lowered her forehead and whispered softly: "
Folk girls did live in brothels."
As soon as the words came out, the scene suddenly became noisy. The emperor frowned slightly and was a little confused, but did not say anything. However, the queen mother behaved very calmly, as if she expected it. Nangong Yu's hand holding the wine glass shook,
A few drops of wine spilled on the table, which he quickly covered up.
Shui Muyao didn't expect that Shui Lianyue would admit it in person, and in front of so many people. Although she hated Shui Lianyue, she didn't want her to admit it. After all, this meant nothing to her about the Shui family.
any benefit.
"Are you telling the truth? Then you are no longer perfect." Situ Wan pointed at Shui Lianyue, his eyes flashed with a ray of wisdom, trying hard to see through her intentions.
"What the noble concubine said is true," Shui Lianyue said it without hesitation, and Hongying who stayed at the table was also speechless. Is the young lady crazy? She actually slandered herself like this in public?[
"In that case, what about your marriage to the king's brother?" Before Nangong Ling could finish speaking, Concubine Yun suddenly appeared at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
Surrounded by people, he must have dressed up specially to come here, and his beautiful appearance shows no trace of time.
She was followed by four palace maids and four eunuchs, who came to Shui Lianyue's side and saluted slowly, "See you, the emperor, long live long live, long live the queen, see the queen mother, she may live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
"Pingshen, give me a seat." Nangong Ling was also a little surprised. In previous years, even if she went to invite the queen mother to her birthday banquet, Concubine Yun never came. Today she came for some unknown reason. He glanced at Shui Lianyue and understood immediately.
That's right, Shui Lianyue is a member of the Shui family, so she naturally has to protect her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Concubine Yun thanked her, she sat unceremoniously under the Queen Mother's seat. She smiled brightly, looked at the Queen Mother and said, "It's my sister's birthday today. I have prepared birthday gifts and sent them to my sister's Fengluan Palace. Just now
I came late because I overslept, sister, don’t blame me.”
Although the Queen Mother did not want Concubine Yun to appear, today's birthday banquet was different from the past. It was her fortieth birthday banquet. If it had been in previous years, she would have already shown her face to Concubine Yun, "My sister is late, so I must blame her.
How about three drinks of wine as a penalty, sister?" As she spoke, the Queen Mother looked kind and cheerful. To outsiders, it seemed that she and Concubine Yun were as familiar as sisters.
"Sister has spoken, of course she is willing." As soon as Concubine Yun finished speaking, she toasted three glasses in a row. Her generosity made Nangong Yu reveal a faint smile on her lips. With my aunt's drinking capacity, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to get drunk even with three jars of wine.
Forget about three cups.
The whole scene seemed to have relaxed a lot because of the arrival of Concubine Yun, but Situ Wan was not willing to give in. After bowing to Concubine Yun, he said to the Queen Mother: "Mother, what Miss Shui just said may not be true.
Let Aunt Yun come and ask”?
After hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded slightly and looked at Concubine Yun with a smile: "Sister, you came at the right time. This child actually admitted the rumor with his own mouth. This makes it difficult for me, sister."
Concubine Yun was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shui Lianyue in surprise, as if she had indeed just learned about this matter, but the Queen Mother did not think so. The emperor was about to say what he said, but Concubine Yun came to interrupt him. This was definitely not the case.
coincide.
"Yue'er, what are you talking about? I know that you are just feeling better. Could it be that the fever has also burned your head?" Concubine Yun stood up suddenly and walked to Shui Lianyue, raised her arm and touched her.
asked with a worried expression on his forehead.
Shui Lianyue remained calm and calm, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The emperor was about to say it just now. Why? Why did Concubine Yun come at this time? If she hadn't come, maybe the emperor would have separated her from Nangong.
If Yu's marriage is cancelled, then she doesn't have to marry Nangong Yu. There is still half a month, only half a month, and she can't wait any longer.
In fact, if Situ Wan hadn't proposed it on the spot and exposed her background, she wouldn't have thought of that. Although it was a bit insulting to admit it in front of so many people, she had no reason not to cancel the engagement and gain freedom.
