I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law
Chapter 83: Reverse scale
The queen felt heartbroken, let alone other people. The Queen Mother Lu was particularly panicked. She was born in an outside room and had a shallow foundation. She was also known to be unfair in the harem, and she didn't have much treasury in her hand. Not to mention the comparison with the queen and noble concubine, it is compared with the new and up-and-coming little concubine who is backed by the family.
Among them, Mu Mingtang has gone a lot. The emperor and the empress gave generously, even if the empress dowager Lu had no choice but to give it away, she would have to follow it five times.
The empress dowager Lu was already in pain, but she still had to watch Mu Mingtang go in and out of extravagance every day, spending a lot of money, and today she wore a skirt that was more expensive than gold to the banquet. The Queen Mother Lu felt so angry that she thought that Mu Mingtang was spending her money, enjoying her life, and running to her to show off.
After listening to Mu Mingtang’s so-called explanation, the Queen Mother Lu became even more angry. She couldn’t hold her face immediately, and scolded: "You all say that you are a lavish housekeeper. What is the source of Xingjia? Man is spending money outside, you Even if you don’t persuade you, you’re still complacent? I heard that you don’t even use spices, you only use fruits to incense. Ai Jia is a queen mother, and she has never been as extravagant as you. You, a princess, dare to go over to the elders. Up?"
Empress Dowager Lu simply can't understand people. As Mu Mingtang said just now, they earn more daily. As long as they can earn it back, you can manage how much they spend. However, the Queen Mother still relied on her own thoughts, and she commuted to work and frugally.
The chicken talks with the duck and can't understand people. However, the Empress Dowager Lu takes the name of the Queen Mother after all. She has to rely on the old to sell the old, and Mu Mingtang can only listen. Mu Mingtang lowered her head slightly, just as a draught blowing in her ears, whatever the Queen Mother said, she didn't listen anyway.
After waiting, Mu Mingtang suddenly realized that, no wonder the Empress Dowager Lu suddenly talked about her extravagance. It turned out that it was because of incense?
Mu Mingtang didn’t think that this was the brain that Queen Mother Lu showed up just now. It was probably someone who blew her ears in her ears and stirred her up, so he came to pressure Mu Mingtang. Got it.
Since Mu Mingtang came to incense with fruits, the one behind him could no longer continue to poison. They can't say it straight. They just want to save the country and plan to use the Queen Mother Lu to put pressure on Mu Mingtang to cancel the fruit fragrance?
Mu Mingtang didn't plan to argue with the Queen Mother at the beginning, but now he wants to understand the intentions of the people behind the scenes, and becomes quieter and quieter, and does not refute or listen to what the Queen Mother said. Speaking always has to come and go before it can go on. Sure enough, Mu Mingtang dealt with it coldly for a while, the Queen Mother Lu became tired of speaking, and naturally stopped.
The Queen Mother talked to the special pair of mother-in-law and Princess An, but none of the others dared to speak. Fortunately, the queen mother soon said that she was tired, and other people occasionally interjected and talked about other topics slowly.
Everyone quietly paid attention to Princess An when they were talking, but it was a pity that Princess An at the center of the topic was relaxed from beginning to end, without any shame or anger at all, as if listening to the wind. When everyone saw this, it was not without regrets.
Jiang Mingwei did not see the scene she was expecting, and was very disappointed. But it was a good thing, at least, Mu Mingtang was ashamed in public. I was criticized by the Queen Mother for being extravagant, and it is estimated that this has been a conversation in social circles for a long time.
Jiang Mingwei was satisfied. Not long after they had been sitting, the **** in red came and said that the dragon boat was ready, and the emperor and the ministers had already gone to the stands.
The female relatives all got up and walked out. Because the dragon boat race faces the people of the whole city, the stand is at the other end, facing the people on the other side of the water and the lake. Because of the limited space, there is no distinction between men's and women's seats.
Mu Mingtang walked to the stands with everyone. A group of female servants are surrounded by slaves, you wait for me and I wait for you, a group of people move very slowly. They had just turned the corner, and someone from the stands was watching. Xie Xuanchen looked at their walking speed and felt uncomfortable, so he strode on his own.
Xie Xuanchen approached the crowd, and the female relatives laughed as soon as they saw them: "Wang An is here. As expected, Wang An can't leave the princess. It's just such a short distance, afraid that we can abduct Princess An away?"
A woman didn't think much, blurted out: "Wang An really spoils the princess, the princess spends extravagantly, and she is used to a dress, isn't she used to it?"
No one paid attention after this, and even the woman who was talking didn't think there was anything. But Xie Xuanchen approached and just heard it.
Xie Xuanchen's eyes narrowed slightly. Luxury is not a good word on any public occasion. If it hadn't been mentioned by someone just now, these officials would not mention it for no reason.
Moreover, depending on the speaker's performance, it seemed like he hadn't thought about it and said it smoothly.
Xie Xuanchen's expression changed, his eyes became cold and sharp, and he slowly swept across the heads of people, and suddenly asked, "Who said she was extravagant and wasted?"
When Xie Xuanchen's eyes changed, many people realized something was wrong.
This is an indescribable feeling. There is obviously no external performance, but everyone can feel that Xie Xuanchen's mood has changed.
It is an invisible aura and human instinct for danger.
Xie Xuanchen's icy gaze swept across the empress and the others. Before he could speak, the people behind did not dare to make a sound. When he accurately asked the four words "luxury and waste", it became more silent.
The female families looked at each other, no one dared to answer. They didn't know why they didn't say a word, Xie Xuanchen didn't even approach, how did he perceive the content of their conversation in the room. But since Xie Xuanchen asked, it wasn't something he could fool around.
These words were said by the Queen Mother. They couldn't expose the Queen Mother, and they didn't dare to lie in front of Xie Xuanchen, so they could only lower their heads and silence.
The queen mother was a little embarrassed. In front of so many people, the queen mother could not deny it, but with Xie Xuanchen's questioning tone, if the queen mother responded, wouldn't it be weak?
The Queen Mother was in a dilemma. After all, she kept her face and said with her elder's shelf: "It's the Aijia. The Aijia heard that Princess An spent a lot of money, and even the incense only uses fresh fruits, which is too wasteful. One porridge and one meal are hard to come by. , Prince An’s mansion is indeed not short of money, but it cannot be squandered like this."
Xie Xuanchen laughed angrily when he heard these words. He glanced at the Empress Dowager Lu so happily, then glanced at the crowd in the back, and asked: "I'm not here, just talk to her like this?"
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the queen tried to round the field: "King An, the queen mother is also kind, but just a word of reminder, even Princess An doesn't care."
The queen said and looked at Mu Mingtang, the meaning in her eyes was very clear. Mu Mingtang snorted in his heart. It's really persimmons who can squeeze softly. Just now, a bunch of people were very enthusiastic when talking about her gossip. Why now, in front of Xie Xuanchen, it was just a kind reminder?
Does she care if she presses her head forcibly?
Mu Mingtang looked down on the Queen's behavior very much, but she didn't want Xie Xuanchen to be angry on this occasion. Now in the stands, downstairs is the dragon boat team ready to go. There are thousands of people on the other side of the lake. If Xie Xuanchen does something, others don't know the details, but Xie Xuanchen will only feel that Xie Xuanchen is rude and disrespectful.
Mu Mingtang gently tugged on Xie Xuanchen's sleeves, Xie Xuanchen shook her hand, still looking straight at the Queen Mother: "Since it is kind, why don't you say it in front of me? Incense is what I want. If you really say it’s a waste, it’s also a waste of me. Why don’t you tell me these things and only pick her?"
When Xie Xuanchen robbed the queen and the queen mother and said that she was skinless and faceless, the queen smiled reluctantly and said: "Wang An, the queen mother and us didn't say anything. You don't care about Princess An. You may have misunderstood it. Go to the stands, the people are already waiting."
"She doesn't care if she is big-hearted and gives you face, but I am a narrow and narrow person. What do you have to say to me, as long as you speak with reason, I can also bear the scolding of me, but you cheated me and said her, yes Do you think she is a bully? Then I might as well tell you, you say that I'm fine, but she doesn't do anything."
The movement here is not small, more and more people are already looking here, even the Bei Rong envoys have also stood up and looked in their direction. The queen was a little anxious, and said: "King An, there are envoys and people outside, don't let outsiders read the jokes."
"Know that there are outsiders, do you still dare?" Xie Xuanchen also raised his voice, a pair of eyes that were like out-of-sheath swords, cold and cold, "When you ran her just now, why didn't you think this was a big scene and could not be seen by outsiders? What's the joke? Now that I'm going to investigate it, do you think of outsiders coming?"
After all, even the queen couldn't answer this. She opened her mouth and couldn't say anything. For a while, the faces of all the female families were chattering, especially from the stand in front of people who were constantly looking at them, pointing and pointing, not knowing what they were talking about.
Empress Dowager Lu hates being pointed the most in her life. She was righted by the outside room, so she always suspected that others were laughing at her behind her back. Now being scolded by Xie Xuanchen in front of everyone, the Empress Dowager Lu became angry and couldn't help but replied: "An Wang, Ai Jia is your elder. Even if you don't have a king, you should have a degree."
The Queen Mother Lu was very self-aware and did not dare to call herself a mother. She did not expect that this would still provoke Xie Xuanchen. Xie Xuanchen sneered, and slowly looked at the Queen Mother Lu: "Elder? Which elder do you count as my elder? They recognize you, but I have never recognized you. For Xie Yi's sake, I don't care about anything about you. I think you have given you enough face, but you shamelessly dared to show my wife a mother-in-law?"
Empress Dowager Lu's face suddenly changed. Since she became the empress dowager, no matter what her background or history, she seemed to be gilded all at once and turned over the article. When other people saw her, they respectfully called the empress dowager. People dare to hold on to what happened to her back then. The Queen Mother Lu has been praised for a long time, and she really feels that she is a noble person in gold and jade, a word can cut life and death, and set honor and disgrace.
Unexpectedly, one day, a young man would be ridiculed facelessly in front of all the family members.
At this time, the emperor had already sent a eunuch, and others came over to persuade him: "King An, the empress dowager, all calm down. If you have anything to say later, they are all a family, don't hurt your peace."
Mu Mingtang also pulled Xie Xuanchen's sleeves: "Well, I'm really fine. Let's go."
Seeing Mu Mingtang's face, Xie Xuanchen barely endured his anger. He glanced at the Empress Dowager Lu and Empress finally, and said coldly: "For me, she is the family member, and you are all outsiders. I have no order not to kill women and children, and I know that you will carry it back. If I bully her, I can pay for it with my life no matter what your status is."
After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he took Mu Mingtang and strode away. Mu Mingtang was pulled and staggered, she hurriedly glanced at the queen mother, hurriedly bowed, and left with Xie Xuanchen.
Only the Queen Mother was left, her face turned red and white, and she was extremely embarrassed.
Empress Dowager Lu turned from red to white, and finally she went back to rest on the excuse of her headache. Whether it’s a dragon boat or a water show, I didn’t even watch it.
What kind of drama she is watching after making such a fuss, she is the drama herself.
The queen pretended not to know why the road queen mother was ill, and thoughtfully did not ask, so she sent the queen mother back. After the Empress Dowager Lu left almost embarrassed, the empress seemed to have lost her memory. She did not remember what had happened just now, and led everyone to the stands.
It’s okay to have fun with the people and show up in public. It doesn’t matter if the Queen Mother is not there, but the Queen, the mother of a country, must never be absent.
In fact, the Queen thought it was good for the Queen Mother to leave, otherwise she would feel embarrassed. Although Xie Xuanchen choked her just now, after all, he was only acting as a peacemaker. The queen mother on the road is really skinless and faceless.
This is still in front of so many people. In the future, what face will the Empress Dowager Lu have to meet the imperial concubine and other fateful wives?
The queen sighed, feeling a strange balance in her heart. Last time at Yeluyan's reception banquet, it was still in front of internal and external envoys, and Xie Xuanchen did not give her any face. The queen is at least the original wife, Xie Xuanchen's serious second aunt, Lu's at best is no more than an outer room, supporting the table as a puppet, why can Xie Xuanchen be an exception?
Therefore, it is fair. Xie Xuanchen not only does not give face to the queen, but he does not give face to everyone including the queen mother, emperor, and foreign envoys. This makes the queen more balanced, everyone is embarrassed, wait for a while and it is not ashamed.
A group of female family members stood on a tall building watching the dragon boat, and they were also watched by the people on the other side of the lake. They are generous on the surface, but in fact, no one has the intention of paying attention to them.
They silently stayed away from Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang. Xie Xuanchen was so terrible that the queen mother was so faceless as he said, how dare they offend Mu Mingtang again.
It would be ashamed to fight against others, and to fight against Mu Mingtang.
No one dared to take Xie Xuanchen's remarks as a joke, Xie Xuanchen said to kill, that is to kill. With his strength, crushing a human skull is no more laborious than crushing a walnut.
It's terrible, many people are throbbing in their hearts now. They used to think that Xie Xuanchen especially loved Mu Mingtang, asking for anything and doing everything. Only with this, they finally realized that Mu Mingtang was not just a favored woman.
This is Xie Xuanchen's reverse scale. The dragon's inverse scales will die when touched.
