"Greetings to the Queen, may Her Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, a thousand thousand years..."
Everyone present knelt down and bowed in obeisance.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother, Mother..." Zhou Huzhu also hurriedly bowed.
"What happened? Why did your sister become so angry? I heard you shouting from a distance that you were going to beat someone up?" The third prince who was following the queen asked in confusion.
His eyes were looking at them vaguely.
"It was this Qin Wu who sneaked into the Plum Garden under the pretext that she was invited by the Queen Mother. She also bullied Qin Yinnuan and Prince Qi's sister. So I planned to teach her a lesson and drive her out of the Plum Garden."
"It was me who asked her to come to the Plum Garden."
The queen's words completely stunned everyone present.
What? Qin Wu was actually invited to the Plum Garden by the Queen? Didn't she sneak in?
She was telling the truth.
...
...
They also mocked and slandered her...
Everyone's faces changed in shock, and the atmosphere seemed tense for a moment, for fear that Qin Wu would complain and be punished by the Queen.
"Huzhu, you are too reckless! Who dares to use the Queen's reputation to cheat in the palace?" Concubine Shu is the biological mother of the third princess. She rebuked her with a tense face, "Why don't you apologize to the Princess of Qi!"
Qin Wu knelt on the ground, expressionless.
But it was impossible for Zhou Huzhu to apologize to Qin Wu. "Even if the Queen Mother asked her to come, she bullied me. Why did she ask such a vicious woman to come to the plum blossom viewing party? Wouldn't that cause trouble for the Queen Mother?"
"Mother, you didn't see how badly Qin Wu bullied Qin Yinnuan and Qi Lanxin. It's so hateful. You should drive her away and don't ruin everyone's mood for appreciating the plum blossoms."
"Are you done?" the Queen asked in a dignified tone.
Zhou Huzhu suddenly felt a sense of oppression. He pursed his lips, puffed up his cheeks and said nothing.
The queen's eyes fell on Qin Wu, and her tone softened, "Qin Wu, you stand up and answer first."
"It's the Queen."
Qin Wu stood up from the ground.
These days Qin Wu went into the palace to serve the Queen Mother and had contact with the Queen.
Because she could make various perfumes, the queen appreciated her very much.
So she asked her to bring people to help her prepare the scent sachets, and by the way, the Queen asked her to participate in the plum blossom viewing party.
In her previous life, Qin Wu was naturally not qualified to attend the plum blossom viewing party.
But Qi Xiuzhe came, because his talent was indeed outstanding. No one in Shangjing could match his talent except Qin Sumu, especially his poems and songs were sought after by many people in Shangjing.
The Queen admired the talented young man, so she invited him to come and add some elegance to the plum blossom viewing party with the others.
But after he came back, he got inexplicably angry at Qin Wu.
In order to please him that day, Qin Wu made ginseng chicken soup for him all morning. However, he did not drink it and even knocked the soup out of Qin Wu's hand, causing her hand to become red, swollen and blistered.
But he didn't even show any concern and just walked away.
Later, Qin Wu found out that Qi Xiuzhe got angry at Qin Yinnuan because he was unhappy about the marriage between Qin Yinnuan and the second prince by the queen.
At this time, the Queen asked Qin Wu directly, "What happened when you came to the Plum Garden? Did you use my name to bully others?"
"Reporting to the Queen, I have not bullied anyone." Qin Wu simply talked about the conflict between herself and Qi Lanxin.
"I just wanted to get back something that was borrowed. Now she has returned it to me, so it should be fine."
"Maybe it's because I have a bad reputation, so they misunderstood me."
Qin Wu did not say that these people were gossiping about her behind her back, nor did she exaggerate the fact that Qi Lanxin had complained about Qi Xiuzhe.
As for the princess, because she had a bad impression of her, she thought she was bullying her, which averted the Queen's displeasure of scolding her.
Saved everyone.
The queen can sit in this position, how can her thoughts be influenced by just a few words from others?
No matter whether it was Qin Wu or Zhou Huzhu, she would not punish anyone just because of what they said.
The Queen was very satisfied with Qin Wu's answer.
He is a smart person and will not cause trouble for her.
After all, it was the imperial master who predicted that the empress dowager was in good spirits, and after the empress dowager's medical treatment and care over the past few days, her spirits were better than ever.
She is also law-abiding and not as vicious and brainless as others say.
Who doesn't have some little tricks? But these tricks won't bring her any trouble. If she plots against you, the queen won't bother with you.
"Miss Qi, do you have anything to add?" The Queen asked lightly, her eyes falling on Qi Lanxin, whose face was pale and full of panic.
"I, no, no." Qi Lanxin was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak at all.
Moreover, she was borrowing Qin Wu's headgear, and she did say bad things about Qin Wu, but she didn't have the courage to lie in front of the Queen. If she was exposed, her life would be in danger, so it was better for her to say nothing.
"Since it's all a misunderstanding, you are considered a family now. Return the things to the Crown Princess. She won't care about it. There will be no disputes or conflicts at this time. There is no need for everyone to quarrel over a misunderstanding."
The queen's gentle voice carried an unquestionable pressure, "I invited everyone to appreciate the plum blossoms today because I wanted everyone to be happy."
"Okay, everyone, get up and follow me to the Plum Blossom Viewing Pavilion."
The queen just glossed over the matter.
He did not make the decision for Qin Wu, nor did he reprimand the princess and everyone else.
It took a long time for everyone present to recover from their panic, and then they looked at Qin Wu with surprise in their eyes.
Obviously, they did not expect that Qin Wu, who they considered vicious, did not report them to the queen to punish them.
After all, they did mock Qin Wu.
Logically, a person with a vicious heart like Qin Wu would definitely frame them maliciously and humiliate her, and let the queen make the decision for her.
But Qin Wu did not do so. Instead, she made them think that they were the ones with bad intentions, which made them feel a little confident and ashamed.
Everyone's eyes on Qin Wu were a little different.
Some people think that she is not that bad and not that annoying.
Of course, some people think that Qin Wu was just pretending to be kind. It is true that she bullied Qin Yinnuan and wanted to drive away Qin's biological daughter.
Moreover, many people saw with their own eyes that Qin Wu wanted to frame Qin Yinnuan and make her look bad, and even wanted to hurt her maliciously.
Also, she could have solved the problem without embarrassing Qi Lanxin, but she chose to embarrass Qi Lanxin, and now she is pretending to be generous and decent in front of the Queen.
I just think she is hypocritical and scheming.
That might be how Qin Su thought of her.
It's hard to change one's nature, so Qin Su didn't believe that she would be so kind as not to target Qin Yinnuan.
Zhou Huzhu's round face was puffed up with anger, Qin Yinnuan said to her, "Thank you, Princess, for helping me vent my anger. Anyway, I won't take anything she says to heart.
Only incompetent people will be jealous and do childish things against others. ”
"Her behavior only makes me look down on her. There's no reason to be angry with her."
