The rebirth of the evil woman is not easy to mess with

Chapter 288 The Lychee Tree 】

Li Qingmu was keenly aware of the disdain in the eyes of the person next to him, so he turned around and chuckled: "Your Excellency looked at me, do you have any doubts about what I said?"

Uh... If you have any doubts, then you have a problem with the emperor's wise and mighty words.

There are so many people here, if he recognizes them, who will wear small shoes behind his back.

The man smiled awkwardly: "What did Li Yushi say? I agree with it deeply, so I couldn't help but take another look."

"Oh, is that so? That's my overthinking, sorry."

Li Qingmu clasped his fists at the official in a decent manner, and then left with his young wife. The official looked constipated.

He sneaked a glance at his colleagues next to him, seeing that their expressions were a little strange, he couldn't help feeling remorseful, and at the same time hated Li Qingmu.

You said it well, why do you have to expose the dissatisfaction in my heart?
You say yours, I say mine, everyone does not violate the river water, can't you?
The man was very angry, but it was not good to attack Li Qingmu right now, otherwise it would make people feel that he was really dissatisfied with the emperor just now.

The official secretly wrote a small black account to Li Qingmu, and then went in.

The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was held in her main palace, the Taihe Palace. There were many guests, and everyone sent their own congratulatory gifts one after another. Some gave expensive gifts, while others gave relatively simple ones, but at least they were not shabby.

Empress Dowager Xue wore a luxurious and heavily embroidered brocade dress, with a pearly phoenix crown on her head, inlaid with more than 100 precious stones, radiant and extravagant!
It stands to reason that the emperor should be present at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, but Qi Yun said that he felt unwell due to the wind and cold yesterday, so he did not come.

This gave me a reason, which is already a great deal of face.

In addition, the emperor was not present, and the empress dowager went to entertain the courtiers by herself. It is reasonable to say that this is not in accordance with the rules, right?But the fact is that Queen Mother Xue did just that.

That's why Qi Yun was furious that day.

This is Yue Zu's acting, don't take him as the emperor seriously!

The Taihe Palace was overcrowded.

Today is Empress Dowager Xue's 60th birthday. It stands to reason that she should have aged and faded at this age, but she is well maintained and looks only in her 40s.

Where did you go to Daxiangguo Temple to eat fast and chant Buddha?This is clearly for enjoyment!
Obscure Moon and Li Qingmu, like the others, presented a moderate congratulatory gift, then went to the side and found a seat with few people.

"You said, what is the purpose of Queen Mother Xue inviting the courtiers so grandly? Is it just to throw money and make the emperor unhappy?"

Obscure moon whispered in Li Qingmu's ear.

"I can't see anything yet, let's see and talk."

"Ok!"

The two were whispering here, while on the other side, Xue Mingzhu, dressed in jewels, came to celebrate her sister's birthday.

When passing by here, she inadvertently glanced at the corner and saw Ozuki, her eyes shrank slightly, revealing a cold light!
It turned out to be her!That idiot who splashed water on her face in Yangxinju?
Now it seems that she is not stupid, so she was pretending to be crazy and stupid at the time, just to spoil her good deeds?hateful!
That bitch!

Xue Mingzhu gritted her silver teeth and hated Miyue to the core, but it's okay, since you dare to come to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?Well, don't blame me for taking revenge!
A sneer twitched at the corner of Xue Mingzhu's mouth, and then walked to the Queen Mother's side slowly with graceful steps.

"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager on her birthday, and wish her a happy and healthy life! Hearing that the Empress Dowager likes to eat lychees, my younger sister specially transported two lychee trees from Nanyang. Today's weather is the day when the lychee trees will bear fruit."

As she spoke, she clapped her hands lightly, and immediately four guards came in carrying lychee trees from left and right.

The lychee tree was covered with a large wooden box, which was covered with a layer of golden silk. When the silk was lifted, the guards removed the wooden box, revealing the true colors of the lychee tree.

This lychee tree is as tall as a person, but it is very lush, with scattered branches and leaves, and there are plump lychees hanging on it. It is bright red and looks very appetizing.

Empress Dowager Xue was overjoyed and got up to admire it herself.

"Okay, great, my little sister has spent a lot of thought, right?"

"Not much, just spent a little manpower and material resources, as long as the Queen Mother is happy!"

"Come here, put these two lychee trees in the secret room behind, no one can get close."

Immediately, several servants came up, put the box back, and carried the lychee tree out.

Obscure Moon glanced at the two lychee trees.

Li Qingmu approached slightly: "Is there any problem?"

"My lord, the lychees on this lychee tree shouldn't be so bright red, at least they should be dark red."

In the north, lychees are rare, and even if there are, we must hurry up, because lychees cannot be stored for a long time.

The color changes in one day, the fragrance changes in two days, the taste changes in three days, and the color and fragrance are all gone after three or four days!
This is what describes lychees as being intolerant to storage.

In Shengjing City, most of the dignitaries and courtiers are from the north, so they don't know much about the lychee. They know that the lychee will turn dark red or even black after being picked, but the words on the tree, It should be red.

Therefore, no one noticed this abnormality, and even if someone noticed, they didn't take it seriously, it was just that the Nanyang species was more unique.

However, Jiangling County is located in the south, and there are many lychee trees.

Li Qingmu lived in the countryside since he was a child, and he also saw someone planting a lychee tree next door. Indeed, how could the lychee be so brightly red?

This lychee tree, I'm afraid there is something wrong!
"Be careful, just don't touch the lychee tree."

"Ok!"

Anyway, the lychee trees have been put in the back, so it has nothing to do with them.

Empress Dowager Xue's birthday banquet was attended by a lot of people, so it took a lot of time just to meet the Empress Dowager and present congratulatory gifts. It was already noon when it was almost time to start the banquet.

When the seats were opened, men and women were divided into seats!
Obscure Moon was assigned the same seat as Pang Shuangyue.

Pang Shuangyue was probably also shocked to meet her, first gritted her teeth, and then showed a forced smile: "Sister."

She yelled, then picked up a bowl and filled it with hot soup.

"It's rare to be able to eat at the same table with my sister. My sister is really happy. This bowl of soup is treated as my sister's respect."

Saying this, he handed the soup to Ozuki.

"Thank you!"

Ozuki smiled, reaching out to take it.

Just as Ozuki was about to pick up the soup bowl, Pang Shuangyue let out an "oops" and poured the bowl on Ozuki's body.

How could Ozuki be deceived by her little trick?With a light hook of a finger, it passed the small groove at the bottom of the soup bowl, the small bowl turned upside down, and splashed on Pang Shuangyue's body.

"what--"

The hot soup was all sprinkled on Pang Shuangyue's tender little hands, and it seemed that a sizzling sound could be heard, and she let out a shrill scream.
