Shui Muyao was speechless for a moment, but in Situ Wan's view, he finally found an opportunity to make Shui Lianyue embarrassed. Concubine Yun's words just now not only caused her to lose face in front of civil and military officials and envoys from various countries, but also caused her to lose face.
The Empress Dowager, not to mention the Emperor, was displeased. The love between her and Nangong Ling was only superficial. This is a story for later and will not be mentioned for the time being.
"I ask you again, why haven't you said anything yet?" Situ Wan felt very happy when he saw Shui Muyao getting more and more confused. He put on the airs of a noble concubine and gave a solemn shout.
The Queen Mother glanced at Situ Wan, and then at Shui Miyao. The corners of her eyes and eyebrows moved slightly, but she didn't say anything. She didn't like Shui Lianyue at all. For some reason, when she saw her face, she always felt something in her heart.
This inexplicable disgust appeared and disappeared, making her a little uneasy. Now that Situ Wan had provoked her, she might as well sit and watch the scene.
Shui Muyao's body trembled slightly, and she glanced at the Queen Mother with her eyelids. Seeing that she had no intention of speaking for her, she had to turn her eyes to Nangong Ling again, with a hint of pity. Unexpectedly, when she looked at Nangong Ling, she found that he had no intention of speaking for her at all.
She didn't look at her, but looked behind herself. She felt cold in her heart, so she simply gave up, stepped forward, and knelt on the ground.
"Since the Queen Mother is celebrating her birthday, my little sister will naturally prepare a birthday gift for the Queen Mother."[
Situ Wan raised his eyebrows and looked doubtfully towards the women's banquet, "Oh? Since you are ready, why don't you come and present your birthday gift soon?"
"Fourth Miss of the Shui Family, a birthday gift." As soon as Situ Wan finished speaking, she heard the eunuch announcing the curtain loudly, and Shui Muyao stood up and slowly returned to the table.
After returning, Shui Muyao glared at Shui Lianyue viciously. Her original joy was completely disrupted by what just happened.
Every daughter-in-law from the Shui family had to be drafted into the palace, and she was no exception. However, most of them were already past their prime, and they were not summoned by the palace. In the past two years, because the emperor had just established a stable position,
And she didn't care before she reached the age of hairpins. Now that she has passed the age of hairpins, seeing the daughters of lowly women getting married and becoming princesses, how could she not hate it in her heart?
At the Queen Mother's birthday banquet today, she originally wanted to take the opportunity to show off her talents and attract the emperor's attention. Her daughter's family was not summoned by the palace. Shui Yunheng could not shamelessly enter the palace and ask the emperor to accept it.
She, so she had to look outside the palace, hoping that it would be feasible to enter the palace of the king's general.
What's more, she has always been very confident. In terms of appearance, among the many officials and daughters, including Han Zixuan, they can't compare with her. In terms of talent, although she is not as well-educated as she is, she is still considered a leader among the female relatives. There is no reason why she should not be appreciated by others.
Unnoticed.
However, the arrival of this bitch made her no longer shine like that. Her face alone trampled her underfoot, let alone the rest.
The emperor's eyes just now were clearly attracted to Shui Lianyue and he no longer noticed her.
Wrong step, wrong step. I should have listened to my mother and not been soft-hearted. If Shui Lianyue, a lowly concubine, died quietly in Shui Mansion, no one would know about it. Now Shui Muyao's intestines are fast.
I regret being young.
Hongying was frightened when she heard the shout of the eunuch who announced the curtain, and hurriedly stepped forward to call Shui Lianyue, "Miss, the eunuch who announced the curtain will call you again."
Shui Lianyue put down her wine glass and looked into the distance. Then she quickly looked around and found that almost everyone was looking at her. She sighed in her heart. She really couldn't escape.
When it comes to dancing, she only knows modern dances. If she dances here, I don't know what kind of commotion it will cause, and it will end up in trouble again.
But when it comes to singing, she doesn’t know any ancient songs. How about sword dancing? Forget it. She doesn’t want people to know that she knows martial arts and writing? Not to mention that in modern times, she can only hold a gun!
"I'm calling you. Why don't you come forward quickly? Maybe someone else is here to invite you?" Seeing that Shui Lianyue still didn't stand up, Shui Muyao couldn't help turning her head and shouted in a low voice.
That's all, let's play a song. She doesn't know any of the things that rich ladies play in their boudoir, so think more about it.
She stood up slowly and walked towards the stands. Hongying hurriedly stepped forward to straighten her robe and followed behind her with her head lowered.
