Similar to what Jin Ye had described before, the Queen Mother's appearance is indeed 60-70% similar to the real aunt, making it impossible to doubt the fact that they are biological sisters.
However, although the Queen Mother is the younger sister of the real aunt, she is younger than the real aunt, and the conditions for pampering and living are much better than the real aunt, but she looks older than the real aunt.
The real aunt's youthfulness makes it difficult to guess her true age, and even though the Queen Mother also appears to be young, the wrinkles at the end of her eyes that cannot be covered up with makeup and the gradually stiffening lines on her face can still betray her true age.
Although Aunt Zhen looks cold, Zhen Liang feels for no reason that she is so easy to get along with compared to the Queen Mother, who can be seen as vicious and sinister at a glance. She can say whatever she wants, and she can also be very polite.
Listen quickly and understand what the other person means. One person cannot say what he wants to say, and it is difficult to understand what the other person really means.
The other women sitting at the round table were all Nangong Lie's high-status women. After hearing the eunuch's voice, their curious eyes had fallen on the door of the hall. When Zhenliang's figure appeared, all of them opened their eyes.
They all invariably opened their eyes wider and couldn't take their eyes away.
The moment they saw Zhenliang's figure, all of them had a look of surprise on their faces. They had never expected that this legendary ugly girl would actually have such a graceful figure and otherworldly temperament. If it were compared to her appearance, maybe they would
Everyone is better than her, but if it comes to body and temperament, I'm afraid no one can match her.
Silver Leaf, Bronze Leaf, and Iron Leaf were waiting outside the hall, while Gold Leaf supported Zhenliang and stepped into the threshold together.
Zhenliang stood at a suitable position away from the Queen Mother, and was about to salute her. For some reason, the women at the round table almost stood up from their positions collectively, dodged left and right, and even screamed, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
group.
What's going on? Zhenliang looked under the round table and saw nothing that frightened them.
Although the status and status of these women cannot be compared with those of the palace maids and eunuchs, the frightened expressions at this moment are exactly the same as those of the slaves that Zhenliang met on the road. However, Zhenliang can be sure of one thing, these women are definitely not because of her.
And felt scared, because if they were afraid of her, they would have a fit when she appeared at the door of the hall.
What is going on?
The Queen Mother was the calmest one and the only one who was still sitting in her seat without standing up. She just leaned back slightly and her face turned pale.
After casting an extremely displeased glance at the women who were panicking and losing their manners, the Queen Mother actually scolded Zhenliang fiercely.
"Presumptuous! How presumptuous! How could you, a beast like you, come to the Cining Palace of the Ai family whenever you want? Get out! Get out of the Ai family! Otherwise, don't blame the Ai family for killing you!"
I'm so confused, completely confused!
This Queen Mother is too vicious! She came to have a meal with a respectful attitude and complied with her request. It was good for her, but when she saw her, she immediately turned against her and called her a beast. She even told her to get out and threatened to kill her?
Who cares about her? Who cares about Cining Palace? Who cares about dining with her?
Zhenliang's face suddenly turned gloomy, and she was lowering her eyes as she was preparing a counterattack. Jin Ye, who was accompanying her, pulled her sleeves hard and winked at her wildly.
For Jin Ye's sake, Zhenliang looked in the direction pointed by Jin Ye's finger, and suddenly realized something.
It turned out that what those people were afraid of along the way was not her, but Zhenqi who had been following them silently!
Zhenliang and the gold and silver leaves beside him didn't look back, so they didn't see Zhenqi's figure. Although Tongye and Tieye who were walking at the front occasionally turned around, it was probably because Zhenqi's body happened to be blocked by them.
Maybe it was hidden in the grass, so I didn't see it.
It turned out that everything was a misunderstanding, but the anger welling up in Zhenliang's heart because of the Queen Mother's words was still difficult to resolve.
Obviously, the Queen Mother's scolding sounded like it was directed at Zhenqi, but it was actually a pun, and she was scolded as well.
Calling her own sister's child a beast, they are all members of the same family, so isn't she also a beast?
Of course, Zhenliang would not say these words out loud, after all, the Queen Mother did not directly call her a beast.
What is intolerable is unbearable.
Naturally, Zhenliang would not confront the Queen Mother head-on, but she felt that she must repay the "courtesy" that was due her.
As if he finally understood what the Queen Mother said belatedly, Zhenliang smiled apologetically and waved towards Zhenqi.
Zhenqi, who had been keeping an eye on her, immediately jumped up to her in a few steps. When he passed the women at the round table, those women couldn't help but let out another ear-piercing scream.
Immediately, the Queen Mother's already gloomy face became even gloomier, while the smile on Zhenliang's face deepened.
"I see you, the Queen Mother, and I wish the Queen Mother good health and happiness." Zhenliang knelt down, bowed to the Queen Mother in a formal manner, then lovingly stroked the down on Zhen's back, and said softly, "Empress Dowager, it's
My name is Zhenqi. Like some people, it was born from an animal, but it is no longer a simple animal. It is human-like, so I gave it my mother's surname. Even though it looks a bit fierce, it is actually stronger than some animals.
People with human faces and animal hearts are still kind."
The Queen Mother's beautifully made-up face gradually became clouded over. There was no beauty at all at this moment, but instead it looked darkly ferocious.
Who asked her to beat around the bush and call Zhenliang a beast? Now that Zhenliang was beating around the bush and scolding her back, she could only swallow her anger, otherwise what else could she do?
If she was angry with Zhenliang, wouldn't it mean that she was indirectly admitting that she was a beast?
Moreover, although Zhenliang did not emphasize the kinship between them in front of everyone, smart people could hear that Zhenliang was reminding the Queen Mother that her surname was her mother's surname. If Zhenqi was a beast, then it would be different from Zhenqi.
There is no doubt that people with the same surname are also beasts.
The Queen Mother's chest was rising and falling, and Zhenliang knew that she was too angry to speak, so he continued to speak softly.
"I was originally unwilling to bring Zhenqi into the palace for fear of scaring everyone, but the emperor said that he and Zhenqi hit it off, so I had to bring Zhenqi in. Even though I felt that it was inappropriate in every possible way,
, but how can you dare to disobey the decree? In fact, I am also very afraid of Zhenqi, and I never dare to offend Zhenqi, for fear that he will sue the emperor for punishing me. After all, from now on, the emperor likes it
I am more curious than I like my concubine, but alas, my concubine is so useless."
Zhenliang pulled Nangong Lie into the water in time without blushing. To a certain extent, he not only protected Zhenqi's life, but also protected himself.
She brought out Nangong Liehu and pretended to be a tiger, just to prevent the Queen Mother from bullying her and going too far with Zhenqi. Unexpectedly, she touched the sensitive heartstrings of other women.
Except for the Queen Mother and the most dignified-looking young woman, all the other women in the palace showed jealous expressions, wishing they could kill her with their eyes, this ugly girl who had attracted special treatment from the emperor!
Jin Ye, who was staying with Zhenliang, was trembling secretly, fearing that Zhenliang's nonsense words would offend the Queen Mother.
Zhenliang secretly pinched Jinye's calf and communicated with her with her eyes, telling her not to be afraid. At the same time, she also felt a little regretful. She should not have brought in the timid Jinye, but she should have brought Yinye in.
If it was Yin Ye who was brought in, he would definitely be trembling secretly at this moment, but it was not because of fear, but because it was difficult to hold back laughter.
Without waiting for the ashen-faced Queen Mother to eject Zhenqi again, Zhenliang said in a low voice to Zhenqi, "Zhenqi, Cining Palace seems not suitable for you to play here. You and Jinye go out and wait for me. Don't do it."
Walking around will make the Queen Mother angry, otherwise, the Emperor will also be unhappy."
Then, Zhenliang looked up at Jinye and said, "Kinye, take Zhenqi out."
Jinye stood up tremblingly and called out to Zhenqi unconfidently, "Zhenqi, let's go out?"
Unexpectedly, Zhenqi, who had never obeyed Jinye's discipline, glanced at Zhenliang who was still kneeling on the ground, lazily stood up and walked towards Jinye obediently.
Jin Ye was immediately overjoyed, her heart pounding like a deer, thinking to herself, could Zhenqi really not be a jackal, but a dog? Otherwise, how could he listen to her words? How could it be possible?
The women who were afraid of Zhenqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, when Zhenqi was about to go out, he suddenly looked back with high spirits, raised his neck and shouted "Ouch" at the people at the round table. The sound was so loud that
Thick and slender, full of its own unique fire, it seemed to be venting its dissatisfaction to everyone, and seemed to be warning them not to bully its master.
For a moment, Zhenliang looked at Zhenqi in surprise, feeling that it was not just a simple human being, but as if there lived in it a lovely soul that was more human than human.
As you can imagine, another burst of women's screams suddenly broke out, and this time, Zhenliang found them very pleasant.
Zhenliang watched with a smile as Zhenqi, who looked lazy due to serious injuries, turned around and left the hall.
The Queen Mother's face was filled with various unpleasant emotions, but she could not vent them happily.
Naturally, she would not be angry with an animal, but she would blame all her anger on Zhen Liang, deliberately letting her continue to kneel, looking at her with disgust and dissatisfaction, "Concubine Liang's face is really
…”
Hearing this, Zhenliang was very puzzled and surprised. The veil she was wearing at the moment was the same as the dark red palace dress she was wearing. It was dark red, and it was impossible to highlight the two brown spots on her face.
Although the Queen Mother did not say this completely, it was obviously derogatory to her face.
And as far as she knew, the former Yuchi Zhenliang had never met the Queen Mother, so it was impossible for the Queen Mother to see her current appearance.
"Ai Jia had a nightmare before, dreaming of a woman wearing a veil who was very courteous to Ai Jia. But when the wind blew away her veil, Ai Jia saw a face that was burned by fire. For this reason
, Aijia fell seriously ill after waking up and almost lost her life." The Queen Mother frowned tightly as she spoke these words, and suddenly added, "Although you wear a veil to show others, you have been pardoned by the Emperor.
, The Aijia also knows that you didn’t mean it, but the Aijia will always think of that nightmare when they see it."
