Shen Yuerong instantly understood what the Queen Mother meant, and smiled, while Chi Mu took the initiative to say: "Then thank you, mother, we will accept it."
Chi Mu took the initiative to accept these things in order to indirectly protect Shen Yuerong so that no one would criticize her for this later.
The Queen Mother also heard Chi Mu's defense, and her smile deepened. Seeing that it was getting late, she let them leave the palace.
Sitting in the carriage on the way back to the mansion, Shen Yuerong ordered people to go outside and advertise that she had accepted the gift from Concubine Xi and liked it very much.
Here, the queen returned to her palace and became angrier the more she thought about it.
She brought those concubines with her, originally intending to embarrass Shen Yuerong, but unexpectedly, she was outmaneuvered by her instead, and was later bullied by those concubines and completely lost face.
The queen raised the teacup in her hand and was about to smash it when she suddenly heard the palace maid report that Shen Yuerong liked the gift given by the concubine very much.
An idea suddenly occurred to her. After all, Concubine Xi was in the palace and had no idea of the news from the outside world.
The queen's eyes flashed, and she smiled coldly and ordered: "Go find someone to pass the news to Concubine Xi's palace, and say that after the princess left the palace, she threw those gifts to the beggars at the door."
The maid immediately agreed and left in a hurry, while the queen sat on the couch with a hideous smile on her face.
Why does he have the right to live in this palace full of intrigue, while Shen Yuerong can be loved by Chi Mu and pursued by him?
All of this originally belonged to me.
It turned out that before the queen entered the palace, her family had wanted to marry her to the prince as a princess, but the prince was away on a military campaign at the time and simply said that he had no intention of marrying.
That's why she entered the palace and became the queen, serving the old emperor, while Chi Mu continued to live a glorious life.
As for herself, she had no children and was trapped here, and had to be called "mother" by the prince who was older than her.
There was a flash of coldness in her eyes. What she couldn't get, no one else could get.
Soon, Concubine Xi heard the false news deliberately spread by the Queen.
I heard that the gift I carefully prepared was thrown to the dirty beggar by Shen Yuerong as soon as I left the palace.
At that moment, Concubine Xi was so angry that she picked up the rouge on the dressing table in front of her and was about to smash it.
As a result, he regretted it as soon as he raised his hand. He couldn't bring his hand down and could only speak with gritted teeth.
"I will not let her go."
Hua Qiu was hesitant to speak. She wanted to speak for Shen Yuerong, but she felt that Concubine Xi was angry.
If I jump out to speak for her at this moment, I would probably add fuel to the fire.
There was no choice but to swallow her words and talk to Concubine Xi later.
Soon, Concubine Xi brought Hua Qiu to the Queen Mother's palace. As soon as she stepped into the palace, she rushed over and complained crying.
"Sister, you have to make the decision for me~"
The Queen Mother put down the teacup and glanced at her calmly, "What's the matter? Who dares to bully you?"
Concubine Xi snorted coldly, sat down next to the Queen Mother with tears in her eyes, and pulled her hand and acted coquettishly.
"Sister, it's not my daughter-in-law. She actually threw the gift I gave her directly to the beggar. This is a slap in my face. If she didn't want it, she could just refuse it. Why did she slap me in the face like this?"
The Queen Mother said coldly: "Where did you hear this news? Are you sure it is true?"
When Concubine Xi heard that her sister was doubting her, she immediately became angry, "How could my news be false? She just gave it to the beggar. Sister, you must make the decision for me."
She wailed and cried again, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
The whole palace was filled with the sound of her crying and shouting, which caused the Queen Mother's eyebrows to ache, and she could only scold her in a deep voice.
"Okay, stop making a fuss. You are all elders now. You might even become grandmothers next year. Why are you still making a fuss here? How can you be so unreasonable?"
"I will check whether this news is true or not. You should reflect on your actions when you return."
"Why did you scold Rong'er in front of so many people? And why did you let her wait at the palace gate so early in the morning? We are not a mean family. Do we want our daughter-in-law to follow the rules?"
The Queen Mother's words made Concubine Xi's cheeks blush, and she couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
In the end, he could only walk towards the palace dejectedly.
On the way, Hua Qiu was about to speak to comfort Concubine Xi, but a palace maid came to find her.
"Aunt Huaqiu, please go and have a look. Two young palace maids are quarreling in the palace."
Huaqiu looked at Concubine Xi who was sulking in the pavilion and could only sigh. She asked the little palace maid to keep an eye on her and then hurried over to deal with it.
Concubine Xi sat in the pavilion, plucking flowers from the imperial garden, and the petals scattered all over the ground.
Suddenly, a pair of embroidered shoes stepped on the scattered petals.
The queen spoke slowly and softly, "What's wrong with mother? Why are you sulking here? Has someone plotted against you?"
As soon as the queen appeared, she concluded the matter, saying that Shen Yuerong had schemed against Concubine Xi.
Concubine Xi was simple-minded and subconsciously thought that this was the case, so she spoke in a bad mood.
"You are right. I was indeed tricked."
The Queen stepped forward and brought Concubine Xi's favorite cheese cake.
"Don't be angry, mother. Come and eat some cheese cakes that I specially asked someone to make for you to calm down."
Concubine Xi took it without hesitation and sat there eating the cheese cake, her mind and eyes filled with only the words the Queen Mother had just scolded her at.
She thought to herself, was it really something she had done wrong?
