239. Chapter 239 A Strong Attack to Crush Rumors 【02】
Unexpectedly, Shen Mingzhu smiled shyly and shook her head: "I didn't learn from anyone. I just visited some shops myself and heard how good others were, so I learned a little randomly to make the Queen and all the ladies laugh. Already."
Madam Liu's face suddenly turned livid again. Shen Mingzhu was undoubtedly slapping her in the face again. Normally at this time, anyone would say that they were grateful to Madam for her good teaching, but she brazenly said that she had learned it randomly on her own.
If you study haphazardly, you will be appreciated by the Queen. Is this showing off your intelligence?
Shen Yunluo felt indescribably jealous and sad, as if someone had twisted her heart into a flower, thrown it into a vinegar vat, and then soaked it in sour water.
She was originally there to be questioned by the Empress. When everyone showed off their talents, she came out on top. The Empress praised her constantly and asked her questions in person.
Shen Yunluo was originally the one who attracted the most attention and was the most outstanding one. However, due to being disturbed by Shen Mingzhu, everyone's attention was focused on her face.
The light that belonged to Shen Yunluo was dimmed by Shen Mingzhu, and no one mentioned it again.
At this time, Concubine Lian suddenly asked: "How come Miss Shen can sing and harmonize with the Eighth Prince? The two of them have such a tacit understanding."
Madam Liu immediately looked at Shen Mingzhu proudly and stared closely at her. Everyone also fixed their gazes on her face, including the Empress, Princess Yan and others.
Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Che were engaged, but Xiao Wen was close to Xiao Run, and Xiao Run was Xiao Che's biggest competitor.
Mrs. Liu and others just wanted to see Shen Mingzhu anger the Queen and then embarrass her on the spot.
But the Queen's face was indifferent, and she could not tell what she was thinking at all. There was always a slight smile on her face, making it impossible to guess whether she was happy or unhappy.
Not showing joy or anger is something that a woman in the world must practice.
Those in high positions should have the same look on their faces and not allow others to guess their thoughts. Otherwise, if their expressions change throughout the day, those who serve will have to guess again and again.
The dignity of those in high positions will also be lost.
Being unsmiling in itself represents a kind of majesty.
Everyone looked at Shen Mingzhu to see how she would answer.
Shen Mingzhu lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes curled up, and she glanced at Xiao Wen beside her.
After he started to salute, he calmly watched the excitement from the sidelines.
It is simply unreasonable to drag her into the water, but you want to stand by and watch?
Without waiting for her to speak, Xiao Wen immediately stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, I was going to walk horses with my brother Xian, but they were delayed because of something else. When I was passing by, I happened to meet Miss Shen asking for directions, so I was not stingy and went out of my way to Brought her here."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Miss Shen, you have already composed a song for me. It's time for me to fulfill my promise and tell you the destination. This is the peach forest you are looking for!"
The peach grove of Dabei Temple is famous all over the world, and countless people come here to pray for a good marriage.
It's not an exaggeration for Xiao Wen to say this, but Shen Mingzhu didn't expect him to say this. He didn't reveal that she was looking for Xiao Xian, which was a cover-up for her.
Just saying something about Taolin was obviously testing her ability to adapt.
Because those ladies, especially Madam Liu, immediately showed contempt, some people wanted to provoke the Queen, saying that since she was engaged to the eldest prince, she should not stay in the palace and wait for the emperor's order, but secretly came to this peach forest to seek marriage. , wouldn’t it be unruly to be a woman?
