Chapter 80: Unhappy Face



The old nanny next to the Queen Mother immediately leaned over to take a look, and her eyes lit up in disbelief.

"Your Highness, this is exactly like you when you were young. It's so similar."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh: "This face is indeed very similar to my face when I was young. How did you do it? You must have never seen what I looked like when I was young."

Chu Weiyue smiled somewhat complacently: "Empress Dowager, this is called a sketch. It is a rough guess based on your bone structure. In addition, your beauty has remained the same for many years, so I can perfectly restore it."

These words may have been a form of flattery, but they really satisfied the Queen Mother to the core. The more she looked at the painting, the more satisfied she became.

When she was young, she always regretted that she did not leave behind many decent portraits. Now that Chu Weiyue was able to restore them so well, it really relieved her worries, and she couldn't help but ask her to draw a few more for her.

There was one photo that was completely based on the Empress Dowager's description, plus Chu Weiyue's imagination.

The portrait of her wearing a red dress in the snow and ice comes to life on the paper.

She seemed to be a young girl at that time, looking at a temple in the distance.

Seeing this painting, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh: "You are truly a master painter. You can paint to such an extent. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to you several times to ask for your help."

Then she cast her eyes on Wen Jingchi's face: "You must treat Wei Yue well. If you dare to bully him, I will not forgive you."

Chu Weiyue looked at Wen Jingchi arrogantly: "Did you hear that? The Queen Mother has said so. If you dare to treat me badly in the future, I will make things difficult for you."

This made the Queen Mother laugh.

He couldn't help but think of Chu Weiyue's sister and laughed coldly.

"I heard that your sister has been getting close to Wen Chenxuan recently. She really doesn't know what's good for her. It's ridiculous that a bastard wants to marry Wen Chenxuan."

She had heard that Chu Ranxin was beautiful and talented, but now compared with Chu Weiyue, she pales in comparison.

At this moment, a young eunuch came hurriedly, stood beside the Wenjing Pool and saluted.

Then he nodded to the Queen Mother and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered the Ninth Prince to come over immediately."

"In that case, you should leave quickly. Wei Yue stays here with me."

Before leaving, Wen Jingchi glanced at Chu Weiyue with some concern.

Chu Weiyue snorted arrogantly.

Seeing that the Queen Mother liked her so much, she didn't stay any longer and turned away.

I chatted with the Empress Dowager for the whole afternoon, but Wen Jingchi didn't come back. I heard that he and the Emperor went on an inspection tour outside the palace.

At dusk, the Queen Mother ordered Nanny Gui to send her back.

At this time, the people in the Marquis' Mansion were about to have dinner and happened to see Chu Weiyue coming back.

The Marquis looked for her for a whole day but couldn't find her, which made him look a little unhappy.

When he was about to go over and scold her, he found that Nanny Gui, who was beside the Empress Dowager, was also there.

This Nanny Gui is a popular figure in the palace, and everyone is vying to curry favor with her. How could he not know her?

There were many things from the previous dynasty that could not be resolved, so they would go to the Empress Dowager to lobby the Emperor.

So the moment he saw Nanny Gui and then looked at Chu Weiyue, the Marquis subconsciously thought that she had done something wrong, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Madam Gui, you have come from afar, you are truly an honored guest, please come this way quickly."

He was very polite to Aunt Gui and made a gesture to her.

Nanny Gui just nodded and sat down to drink tea.

Chu Weiyue walked over carelessly and wanted to sit down, but the Marquis grabbed her arm and glared at her fiercely.

"You have committed such a big mistake, and you dare to sit down. Tell me the truth. What did you do to anger the Queen Mother? Do you know that this is a capital crime?"

After being stunned for a moment, Chu Weiyue felt a little depressed and helpless.

"Father, why do you feel that I must have made a big mistake to anger the Queen Mother?"

"Girl, can you really do anything good?" The Marquis laughed coldly, his eyes full of suspicion.

Chu Ranxin next to him couldn't help but add fuel to the fire: "Dad, please stop scolding my sister. I think my sister did it unintentionally. Please forgive her."

Song took the Marquis's arm and pretended to be magnanimous: "After all, she is just a child. It is understandable that she made a mistake. Aunt Gui is here, so please give her some face."

Chu Weiyue said nothing and deliberately acted very aggrieved in front of Aunt Gui.

"Dad, why do you think I did something wrong? If it was my sister, I think you would be very happy and think she did something good."

"You dare to make such specious arguments, girl? I will punish you according to the family rules."

Aunt Gui beside her couldn't bear it any longer and knocked the teacup hard.

"My Lord, are you done yet? I haven't even said a word yet, but you are so determined that your daughter has made a mistake. How did you get to be the Lord?"

Her words were rather harsh. She was close to the Queen Mother and was not afraid of the Marquis at all.

He came to Chu Weiyue and put his hand on her shoulder.

“The Queen Mother asked me to send your daughter back because the two of them had a good chat, so she let her stay in the palace for a day and had lunch together.

The Queen Mother asked me to tell the Marquis that with such an outstanding daughter, he should not do anything stupid. "

After a pause, Nanny Gui's eyes were somewhat unfathomable.

"Everyone has different luck. Who has bigger luck or smaller luck? In fact, the Marquis knows it very well now. It's like gambling. You know you should bet big, but why do you bet small? Isn't this stupid? It will only make you lose miserably."

Such words are simply a hint that if he bets on the right thing and chooses the right path, his career will be smooth.

After a moment's pause, the Marquis instantly understood what she meant.

But being scolded like this by a woman was a great shame and humiliation for the Marquis, and he did not look very happy.

Seeing that Nanny Gui was about to leave, he personally saw her off to the door.

"Madame Gui, please take care and say hello to the Empress Dowager for me."

He did not forget to take out some silver from his pocket and gave it to Nanny Gui.

Everyone understood these things, and Nanny Gui immediately put them into her sleeves.

After watching her leaving, the Marquis finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead?

He was really scared just now. He thought Chu Weiyue had gotten into trouble again.

To anger the Empress Dowager would be to anger the Emperor, and then their mansion would be in big trouble.

After Nanny Gui returned to the palace, her face looked very unhappy.

Seeing her come back, the Queen Mother was a little puzzled: "What's wrong? Is everything not going well?"

Nanny Gui has a deep relationship with the Empress Dowager, and she is a maid that she brought from her mother's home.
