The Queen Mother sighed deeply and said, "I am quite curious about this painter. I will definitely summon him to the capital if I have the chance."

"Empress Dowager, there will definitely be a chance. He told me in the letter that when he is better and can walk again, he will come to the capital to personally thank the Empress Dowager and the Emperor for their kindness."

The emperor couldn't help but nod repeatedly, and the way he looked at Wen Jingchi was different from before.

The empress dowager standing next to him liked the painting so much that she actually asked the emperor for it.

This time, the emperor was stingy and hid the painting under his desk, just like he did when he was a child.

"Mother, if I come across another famous work I will give it to you. Why don't you give this painting to me?" The emperor's tone was teasing, which instantly made the empress dowager laugh.

The atmosphere was originally a bit serious, but now it has a bit of the flavor of a family dinner.

It's just like an ordinary family, with a loving mother and filial children.

Chu Weiyue's radiance was like the sun, shining brightly throughout the venue, almost overshadowing everyone else's radiance.

Several young ladies from aristocratic families were dissatisfied in their hearts, but they did not dare to say much on the surface. They could only gather together and whisper to each other.

The most unwilling one was Chu Ranxin.

She clenched her fists and her body was shaking slightly with anger.

If it was somewhere else, she would definitely rush up and slap Chu Weiyue twice. This bitch actually embarrassed her on purpose!

The Queen Mother had a very good impression of her just now, but now she didn't even look at her.

Several young ladies from aristocratic families nearby couldn't help but start mocking Chu Ranxin.

Perhaps because of the stimulation, Chu Ranxin snorted coldly.

"Sister, it's really a joke for you to give the Queen Mother and the Emperor such seedlings and paintings."

As soon as Chu Weiyue turned around, he met her arrogant face and was deeply worried about her IQ.

We are in a formal occasion now, and she actually dares to challenge me. She is so stupid that she has no friends.

What's more, just now the Emperor and the Empress Dowager both fought over a painting. They both love paintings very much.

Isn't it tantamount to slapping them in the face when Chu Ranxin says this?

"Sister, you don't understand the sufferings of the world, nor do you understand the significance of the small rice seedlings to the people in the north. They have waited for so many years, just for this day..."

Chu Ranxin was born into a wealthy family and had never experienced a hard life. She certainly couldn't understand what Chu Weiyue said and uttered a sneer of extreme contempt.

Song, who was standing next to her, was terrified, especially when she saw the empress dowager frowning, and she immediately pulled her clothes.

"You kid, you actually got into an argument with your sister in public, stop talking."

She pinched Chu Ranxin hard from below, and only then did she reluctantly give up.

But the Empress Dowager next to her saw everything.

She had lived in the deep palace for so many years and had experienced everything, but she was not angry. She just picked up the tea and took a few sips, then set her eyes on Chu Ranxin.

After looking for a long time, he shook his head slightly.

Then he played with a string of huge pearls. The pearls looked white, beautiful and extremely precious.

Everyone was confused as to what the Queen Mother meant, but she turned slightly and spoke with a lingering tone.

“Although this string of pearls is precious, it is ultimately a mortal thing. If you were to choose between hunger and life, I think anyone would throw it away without hesitation!

This kind of thing will never be accepted in a formal setting and can only be used as a joke after dinner."

What she said was equivalent to a slap in Chu Ranxin's face.

Naturally, everyone understood the sarcasm in the Queen Mother's words, and several ministers deliberately followed suit and made a few jokes in order to curry favor with her.

The Queen Mother said what she really wanted to say, and curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction.

Just now she really thought that Chu Ranxin was talented, but it turned out that he was just a vase.

She can say such things and has no idea about the sufferings of the world. How can she become the Crown Princess and the mother of the country in the future? It's a huge joke.

On the contrary, Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi complement each other very well. They are truly a perfect match.

The Queen Mother waved to Chu Weiyue and asked her to step forward.

Chu Weiyue didn't understand why, but still took the initiative to walk up to the Queen Mother.

"Jing Chi is different from other princes. He has been with me since he was young and is the one I love the most. Now you are going to marry him and become his wife. You must get along well with him in the future. If he does anything wrong or bullies you, I will definitely stand up for you."

She took off a pair of bracelets from her neck and put them on Chu Weiyue's two wrists.

The bracelet was a fiery red color, with flowing blood veins, shining brightly in the sun.

There are also some gold threads inlaid on it. Although these patterns are a bit old-fashioned, they look unique.

Chu Weiyue recognized it at the first sight. If her guess was correct, this should be the famous dragon and phoenix blood jade bracelet.

Legend has it that as long as you wear this pair of jade bracelets, you will be able to stay together with your husband forever and never leave him.

"This jade bracelet was passed down from my grandmother. I have never worn it for so many years. I only wore it today. I didn't expect to see you and the Ninth Prince getting along so well, so I gave it to you."

Chu Weiyue was stunned for a moment, and then he realized the Queen Mother's good intentions.

She just said that she had just put on this jade bracelet. It can be seen that she was not willing to marry into the royal family.

Otherwise, no woman would have waited until now to wear this pair of jade bracelets that are so full of legends.

One of the concubines also discovered the value of the jade bracelet and made a sarcastic comment about it.

"Mother, you are so generous. I heard that this jade bracelet has been passed down for thousands of years, and every woman who has worn it has tied her husband to her will. I never thought that you would be willing to part with it today."

Chu Weiyue only knew that this jade bracelet was precious, but she didn't know that this jade bracelet was really as valuable as it was said to be.

Originally, she had recognized some of it, but now that the concubine had said so, she was in a difficult situation.

He could only bow to the Queen Mother awkwardly.

"Your Majesty, this gift is so precious. How can I dare to accept it?"

"It's okay. I'm already so old, and there's no point in keeping this jade bracelet. I wore it for the first time today just because I thought it looked nice and festive. Just wear it with peace of mind. If you really want to thank me, you might as well give me a great-grandson soon."

Wen Jingchi stood beside Chu Weiyue and gently hugged her shoulders.

"Since the Royal Grandmother has given it to you, then you should accept it. Besides, the Royal Grandmother promised many years ago that she would definitely give this jade bracelet to my beloved woman. If you don't accept it, it will be embarrassing for the Royal Grandmother."

The two of them sang the same tune, but Chu Weiyue became the most embarrassed person, and in the end he could only kneel on the ground and kowtow to express his gratitude.
