She turned the tables and completely blocked the Queen's words, making her so angry that her eyes became resentful and cold.
Finally, the queen forced a smile and spoke.
"I'm just concerned about my sister-in-law. Why are you so nervous? But the clothes you're wearing really suit you."
Shen Yuerong looked at her quietly, with a cold look in her eyes.
She just said that the dress was a bit tacky, so why is she saying now that it suits her very well?
This purpose is too obvious.
Shen Yuerong's slender fingers brushed across the fabric and she suddenly spoke.
"It seems that the emperor's sister didn't understand what I said. I really like this fabric."
She thought her hint was obvious enough, but she didn't expect the queen still didn't understand.
The queen replied with a faint smile on her face.
"My sister-in-law actually likes this fabric. It's too ugly. Why don't you ask other people around you if they think it's ugly?"
Hearing this, the queen snorted coldly, "Ask if you want, who's afraid of who?"
Shen Yuerong turned her head and looked at Concubine Xi's face.
At this moment, she was so angry that her face turned blue, and the look she gave the queen was icy cold.
"You don't have to ask, I know who this fabric belongs to."
Concubine Xi suddenly interrupted the Queen and spoke suddenly.
When the Queen heard Concubine Xi say this, she felt a little uneasy. She always felt that something was wrong and that the other party was setting a trap for her.
But on second thought, Concubine Xi obviously hates Shen Yuerong, so she should know some secrets.
If I cooperate, maybe I can make Shen Yuerong suffer a setback.
Then the Queen spoke again.
"If mother knew, it would be great, but it's better to give my brother and sister some dignity."
"This kind of cloth looks cheap and low-grade. I don't know where my sister-in-law got it from. It is a disgrace to our royal family."
Concubine Xi sneered and put the teacup in her hand down heavily.
"That cloth was sent by me. Do you have any objection to me?"
As soon as these words came out, the queen's expression suddenly changed.
She never imagined that Shen Yuerong would actually make clothes out of the cloth sent by Concubine Xi, and even wear them on such an occasion.
So the queen spoke quickly.
"In fact, this fabric looks really good in the sun. The glittering gold has a good meaning. It's obvious at first glance that it's worth a lot of money."
"So it was actually sent by my mother. It seems that my mother has a good taste."
She praised her again and again, but it did not make Concubine Xi happy at all.
Because she had not forgotten anything the queen had just said.
To say that the fabric she sent was cheap and low-quality is to say that she was also
Concubine Xi likes to give people clothes and jewelry, but each time they are all golden.
Because she likes this look, she thinks other people are like this too.
If someone said in public that her clothes were ugly, Concubine Xi would just turn her face away.
She would do the same even if the other person was His Majesty.
Another word "filial piety" is so powerful that even a true dragon emperor like Your Majesty needs to pay attention to it.
What's more, the queen is like this.
Shen Yuerong looked at the scene in front of her, drank her tea calmly, and then turned to look in the direction of the Queen.
"Sister-in-law, you better be careful next time and don't talk nonsense again."
"I think the clothes I'm wearing are very beautiful, because they were given by my mother, so everything looks very beautiful."
Her tone was light, but it sounded provocative to the Queen.
The Queen couldn't swallow it, and she apologized to Concubine Xi openly, looking submissive.
But in reality, she was secretly planning something else.
It was only halfway done when the young men and women of the capital were eager to try and win the huge couplet, so that their names could be recorded in history.
Shen Yuerong felt bored after staying for a while, so she thought about taking a walk in the courtyard. Chi Mu wanted to accompany her, but she refused.
Walking in the corridor, Shen Yuerong felt a figure approaching from behind. She slowly turned around and saw the queen standing behind her with a smile on her face.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?"
So Shen Yuerong followed the Queen and sat down in a pavilion on the side, and servants brought tea and snacks.
The Queen began by expressing her feelings in a polite manner.
"This Chunxue Villa is really nice. When we were walking in the courtyard, servants brought us tea and snacks. I just don't know who is the big shot behind the scenes."
Shen Yuerong just took a sip of tea to hide the smile on her lips.
Actually. The other party served tea and snacks because he was the boss behind the scene. If it was someone else, they probably wouldn't do it to this extent.
However, this also reminds us to improve our service.
Shen Yuerong did not answer the Queen's plan, so the other party started to find a topic to talk about.
"Do you know that Concubine Xi proposed to His Majesty to live in the palace?"
Hearing this, Shen Yuerong pretended to ask mysteriously.
"Then I don't know, but the Queen's sister-in-law can tell me about it."
Seeing Shen Yuerong speaking, the Queen smiled.
"Although Concubine Xi is like this, she is a very spoiled person. She is a domineering person in the harem. Countless gold, silver and jewelry are sent into her palace like water."
"Even so, she still wants to stir up trouble. You should be careful in the future. I really pity you."
After the queen said this, Shen Yuerong sneered in her heart.
The abacus beads are about to fall on my face, and the other party still thinks he can't see it? It's ridiculous.
And Shen Yuerong did not instigate, but just uttered a word slowly.
"I think my mother has a good personality. It would be great if we could live together."
The queen raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Yuerong, trying to find some signs of lying on her face, but it was obviously useless.
"Does your sister-in-law really think so?"
She thought to herself, if Shen Yuerong really thought that Concubine Xi leaving the palace was a good thing, then why should she help her?
So the Queen smiled again and said, "But your Majesty has not agreed to this matter yet, so nothing can be said for sure."
When Shen Yuerong heard these words, she knew very well that the Queen did not want her to have her way at all.
If I show my friendship to Concubine Xi, she will do her best to sow discord between them.
If he treated Concubine Xi badly, he would probably deliberately send her out of the palace to live, causing them to live in chaos.
After realizing this, Shen Yuerong suddenly let out a long sigh.
The queen hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Shen Yuerong smiled helplessly and answered: "I feel very close to the emperor's sister-in-law when I see her, so I want to talk about my troubles."
When the queen heard this, her eyes brightened.
"If you have any troubles, just tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone."
Shen Yuerong's eyes sparkled with tiny lights, and she replied, "To be honest with you, my mother and I don't have a very good relationship."
