The concubine is so charming

Chapter 169 Shocking Guess

Su Yao pretended to be worried, and kept looking at Mu Zhenzhen and the Queen Mother without any trace. The more he looked, the clearer his thoughts became, and finally he got a shocking answer.

She had seen the Queen Mother doting on Mu Zhenzhen before, but she didn't think much about it. After all, the Queen Mother had no heirs, and Mu Zhenzhen was loved by King Zhuang, and she could often go in and out of the palace. It's justifiable.

But if she really just treats her as a junior, this kind of love should be considered quite limited, but now Mu Zhenzhen has repeatedly disobeyed the Queen Mother's wishes, and even made her angry, but the Queen Mother doesn't seem to care.

Up to now, she has shown an expression of disgust and fear towards the Queen Mother unabashedly. If it were an ordinary person, she would be so angry that she would never pay attention to Mu Zhenzhen, a white-eyed wolf, especially the Queen Mother. A woman with high weight and who has been high above her for many years should be more tolerant.

But the reality is just the opposite. The Empress Dowager still looked at Mu Zhenzhen with the worry of hating iron and not being able to make steel. She even disagreed with Mu Zhenzhen's marriage to Gu Yuanyou, but she still gave a generous dowry. Could it be that Behind the strong feelings, is there really nothing hidden?

Anyway, Su Yao didn't believe it. If the Empress Dowager was really so kind to others, why would she have taken action against her in the first place, and then repeatedly made dangerous moves. If she hadn't handled it properly, she might have lost her life long ago.

The atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet this time is very subtle. When it was the turn of several clan disciples to present gifts, Su Yao sensitively felt the taste of tit-for-tat. Thinking about Mu Wenli, who is still injured, her heart crossed It's clear.

There was Mu Wenli before, and these people couldn't compete with him in the limelight, so they could only be reduced to a foil, but who would have thought that the bridge of Mu Wenli's nose would be snapped off by a plaque that fell from the sky, and he might even stay in the future? If he gets sick and ruins his appearance, he will ruin most of his future. From now on, let alone fighting for the throne, even if he wants to get ahead, it may be [-]% harder than others.

The congratulatory gift that Mu Qingchen sent was very formal, but he listened to Su Yao's opinion and added a copy of the Book of Filial Piety to the congratulatory gift, which was rarely praised by the emperor.

Su Yao's attire today is very eye-catching, after the emperor took a look, he couldn't help but look at Chu Feiyan, his eyes became more thoughtful.

Chu Feiyan noticed the emperor's scrutiny, but he didn't take it seriously. He dared to treat Su Yao well, so he naturally didn't mind being known by others.

Concubine Zhen at the side cast down her eyes. She helped the emperor fill up the wine glass, followed the emperor's line of sight seemingly unintentionally, and lightly landed on Su Yao: "I see that Ninghua looks haggard, but when I came Are you not used to living in Qiuque Garden?"

Su Yao hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then replied softly: "Reporting to Concubine Zhen, everything in the garden is fine, it's because I've always been weak, so I can rest for a couple of days and I'll be fine."

Su Yao knelt down, her dress was spread on the ground, and the light flashed down from the skirt like flowing water, forming a warm halo around her, attracting many people's eyes.

Even the emperor couldn't help but glanced twice, and praised: "Your clothes are so unique, I don't think I've seen this material before, where did you get it?"

"Reporting to the emperor, this cloth is named Fuguangjin, it is a special product of Donglin, and it is a gift from the prime minister."

Chu Feiyan nodded: "I also learned by chance that I asked the emperor before, but I need these fabrics. The emperor said that it is useless, and this fabric is obviously suitable for tailoring clothes for women. I can't use it if I keep it. So I passed it on to my junior brother Mu Qingchen."

The emperor nodded: "As soon as you said it, I remembered that there was indeed such a thing. I had only heard of the reputation of Fuguangjin before, and I always thought it was too exaggerated. Now I see it, it really deserves its reputation. I remember that there are some tributes from Donglin in the warehouse, Zhu Chong?"

"The slave is here."

"After returning to the palace, go to the inner treasury to search for it, and collect the Fuguang brocade and send it to Jingyu Palace. Concubine Zhen's complexion, paired with this Fuguang brocade, is not considered a disappointment."

Concubine Zhen hurriedly got up to thank her, her always indifferent expression showed a faint smile because of the emperor's special care, as if the ice had suddenly melted, and a little bit of fresh green was revealed, giving rise to several different styles:
"The concubine would like to thank the emperor, but such a good thing, the concubine dare not enjoy it alone, why not go back and check the inventory, first let the queen mother choose, and then share the remaining concubines with the sisters and sisters in the palace. At that time, everyone will be well-dressed, so that the emperor can feel at ease."

After taking charge of the official duties again, Concubine Zhen became more and more measured in her actions. The emperor felt very ironic when he heard this, "Okay, then you can do as you see fit."

"Yes."

Su Yao raised her eyes, smiled softly at Concubine Zhen, and then returned to her seat softly.

Her smile seemed extremely weak to others, a little smile passed over the corners of her lips, moistened her eyes, and then lightly melted away, dispelling the trace of melancholy in her eyes, making people stretch involuntarily face.

But in Concubine Zhen's eyes, it seemed a little more provocative for no reason.

Su Yao returned to her seat and became the melancholy younger sister Lin again. Only when Mu Zhaoyu talked to her could the melancholy between her brows and eyes be relieved a little.

This banquet will last until night in order to appreciate the bright moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, so after a simple meal, the emperor and the queen mother went to rest in the palace on the side, and the rest of the people who are willing to enjoy the scenery can walk around in the garden, Those who do not want to enjoy the scenery can temporarily return to their own yard to rest.

Of course, there are so many young masters and young ladies present at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, which is equivalent to a disguised blind date and friendship meeting. None of the young ladies and young ladies dressed in costumes are willing to go back early.

Su Yao has no interest in these things, and has been silently watching Chu Feiyan's every move with his eyes. Seeing that he has been sitting on the seat without any reaction, he can't help but secretly snorted.

She also wanted to use the trick of playing hard to get, but right now Chu Feiyan's attitude towards her was lukewarm, and she was afraid that if she let go, the duck that hadn't reached its mouth would grow wings and fly away.Then didn't she covet it for a long time, and before she had time to take a bite, she took advantage of others?

No, absolutely not!

Chu Feiyan has been watching Su Yao silently, seeing her look at him from time to time, and then she looks sad like Xizi holding her heart, the discomfort in her heart dissipated a lot.

Seeing that the time was almost up, when she looked over for the sixth time, she slightly stretched out her fingers and tapped twice on the table.

Su Yao's eyes lit up immediately, and when she was about to get up, she realized that Mu Zhaoyu was looking at her with a smile. For some reason, she, who had always been thick-skinned, couldn't help showing a touch of shame: "Sister Zhaoyu, why are you like this?" look at me?"
