After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Cui Lanzhi became the focus of attention.

At this moment, the game of Qushui Liushang is still going on.

But many people have noticed the abnormality here and secretly cast their eyes over during the breaks in the game.

Even the sound of the drums gradually faded.

Everyone knows that they are choosing a study partner for the eldest princess, so why is he kneeling down?

Some people are gloating and watching the show, while others have other thoughts.

Cui Lanzhi's mother, Yang, was so anxious that she clenched the handkerchief in her hand and looked around frequently.

He was also anxious.

Although her daughter was fine, they were all girls from the Cui family. Who knew if her own daughter would be implicated?

If it wasn't such a grand occasion, Chun Ning would probably have to hold Qin Yaoguang's arm and watch this show.

Although she didn't know all the things that happened in the Cui family, she had a vague feeling about it.

Even if he couldn't understand it, Chun Ning knew anyway that his mother and his sister no longer liked the Cui family!

Seeing them fighting among themselves, she felt a little excited, just like a qualified spectator.

Qin Yaoguang shook his head slowly in his heart.

In this way, no matter whether Cui Lanzhi can prove her innocence or not, the place of tutoring will definitely not fall on her.

Even though Queen Xie had favored her before.

Because she knew that Empress Xie was a very strong-willed woman who could not tolerate any flaws and pursued perfection in everything.

At the beginning, Zhu Canyi used this to defile himself and escape from the capital.

And now, it is Cui Lanzhi's turn to taste the bitter fruit.

How could Empress Xie allow a young lady with a blemish on her reputation to be a companion to her eldest princess?

Under everyone's gaze, Cui Lanzhi said in a trembling voice, "That embroiderer was indeed invited by my mother. It was only because I am not very talented and have not made any progress in embroidery for many days that I was afraid that the birthday gift I presented would offend the Empress Dowager, so she asked her to teach me."

"Although the allowance she was given was high, it was only for the next two months. She will take the money back to Suzhou next month."

In fact, everyone present could understand what Cui Lanzhi said.

She was also good at speaking. In such an urgent situation, she could first belittle herself and provide the best reason for the embroiderer to enter the mansion.

It also shows that the embroiderer's higher-than-normal share is actually an additional stipend, which is not the norm.

The real situation is probably just as she said. Because she attached too much importance to it, she invited an embroiderer with superb skills to teach her.

How could I have thought that I would encounter disaster today?

Moreover, the words of the two Cui sisters were only hints, not explicit statements.

The Suzhou embroiderers and the eye-catching monthly salary are all facts.

After hearing this, Empress Xie did not comment and asked her two children behind her: "What do you think?"

After all, we are selecting a study partner for the eldest princess, so there is nothing wrong in asking for her opinion.

But everyone knows that Cui Lanzhi has lost this opportunity.

Before the eldest princess could speak, the fourth prince spoke first, "Mother, I think that regardless of whether she cheated or not, it is a fact that the sisters in Ningguo Mansion are not on good terms."

He knew his mother's temper well, and these words just touched Empress Xie's heart.

Empress Xie turned her gaze to the eldest princess, who knew what she meant: "Fourth brother is absolutely right."

Cui Yawei cast her gaze towards Cui Lanzhi who was kneeling on the ground, and immediately became gloating.

Regardless of whether Cui Yaxian can do it or not, at least this annoying Cui Lanzhi can’t do it!

Just thinking about this made her happy.

Who says harming others does not benefit yourself?

As a descendant of Cui Yongyi's family, you have taken the best resources of the Cui family and you still expect everything to go your way?

I bother!

No way!

The Queen Mother looked at the birthday gifts laid out in front of her, each one exquisite.

Since it was Empress Xie who was choosing a study partner for her daughter, she had no intention of interfering in the matter and did not say a word.

Empress Xie hesitated for a moment, then said to Cui Lanzhi gently, "It was all a misunderstanding. Get up quickly and don't be frightened."

Afterwards, he never mentioned the fan cover again. His eyes swept over the birthday gifts presented by the girls one by one, and he re-examined them in his mind.

Now, she has to choose someone else.

She doesn't want any of the girls from the Cui family.

Once you enter the palace, you may become the fourth prince's consort.

No matter how beautifully they speak, they cannot conceal the fact that the sisters are tearing down each other.

How can you be a daughter-in-law with such character?

She declined.

For everyone else, which one should you choose?

At this moment, Qin Yaoguang spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think this pair of shoes is very well made. I wonder which lady made them?"

Qin Yaoguang reached out and picked up a pair of beautifully crafted shoes in front of her.

The shoes use peacock blue as the base color, with red and brown satin interspersed, the colors are both warm and bright.

Along the shoe band, a circle of longevity patterns with endless lines is embroidered with gold and silver threads, and there are auspicious decorative patterns such as magpies below, which have excellent meaning.

The magpie's eyes are made of small sapphires, and the longevity pattern is decorated with golden cat's eyes.

The gems are not very valuable, but you can tell that the shoe maker put a lot of effort into it.

Of course, among all the birthday gifts that can be presented, which one would not be exquisite, gorgeous, and thoughtful?

Who wins first place depends not only on the embroidery workmanship and the thoughtfulness.

Qin Yaoguang held the embroidered shoes in her hand, moved closer to the Empress Dowager, and praised: "Look, mother, not only is the embroidery good, the lining of this pair of shoes is also very soft."

She reached in with her left hand and pressed the sole, then said with a smile, "It turns out that cashmere is added. It must be comfortable and warm to wear."

It’s no wonder that among all these birthday gifts, the Empress Dowager’s favorite was this pair of shoes.

She likes to dress up little girls and has a very good aesthetic sense.

She really likes the color of these shoes.

I didn't say anything before because I didn't want to steal the limelight from Queen Xie.

But since her beloved Le Yang also liked it, she certainly wouldn't take down her daughter's dress, and nodded with a smile: "It's really good."

Things had come to this point, and although Empress Xie was secretly annoyed that Qin Yaoguang acted on her own, she had no choice but to ask the ladies.

The person who stood up was Su Qing.

Her face had a little baby fat and she looked confused at the moment.

It was like a pie suddenly fell from the sky.

Su Qing politely replied, "Your Majesty, this pair of shoes was made by me."

Her eyes were fixed on the woven carpet on the floor, not daring to look anywhere else.

Apart from anything else, this respectfulness alone made Empress Xie, who had just experienced the feud between the Cui sisters, feel extremely comforted.

This is what a lady from a noble family looks like.

When asking, she was also worried that the girl who stood up was someone she didn't like.

Now that she found out it was Su Qing, she couldn't help but start to seriously consider this candidate.

Su Wenzhao, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, came from a poor family but won the top three places in the imperial examination.

After he won the top spot in the imperial examination, he was valued by the powerful people in the capital, and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery married his second daughter to him.

Later, his eldest son married the daughter of Marquis Wenxin and gave birth to Su Qing.

In terms of status, Su Wenzhao was between the upright and the noble.

He himself saw things very clearly. With his background, if he got involved in the political disputes, he would die.

Therefore, he belonged to the neutral party in the court, and was only devoted to academics and teaching, and he had a stable life for so many years.

Thinking of this, Queen Xie became somewhat tempted.
