Chapter 83

The queen felt very upset, not to mention other people. Empress Dowager Lu is especially flustered. She comes from an outside family and has a shallow foundation. She is also known as an outspoken woman in the harem. She doesn't have much money in her hand. The Empress Dowager can't compare with the empress or the imperial concubines, or with the newly emerged concubines with family support.

Among them, Mu Mingtang also went to many pits. The emperor and empress give a big reward. Even if the Empress Dowager does not want to be shameful, the empress will have to give her five times.

Empress Dowager Lu had been suffering from severe pain, but she had to watch Mu Mingtang go in and out of luxury every day and spend a lot of money. Today, she even wore a skirt that was more expensive than gold to the banquet. When the Empress Dowager thought that Mu Mingtang was spending her money, enjoying her life, and running to show in front of her, she was very angry.

After hearing Mu Mingtang's so-called explanation, the Empress Dowager became even more angry. She couldn't even hang up her face immediately and scolded: "they all say that you are diligent and thrifty in running a family. How can you make a family prosperous if you are so generous? If you don't persuade men to spend money outside, are you still complacent? It's said that you don't even need spices. You only use fruit to smoke. I'm the empress dowager, and I've never been so extravagant as you. As a princess, how dare you go over to your elders? "

Empress Dowager Lu simply can't understand people's words. As Mu Mingtang has just said, they earn more every day. As long as they can earn it back, you care how much they spend. However, the Empress Dowager still came up with her own way of thinking, and she was diligent and thrifty.

You can't understand people when you talk with them. However, Empress Dowager Lu, after all, occupies the Empress Dowager's name. She has to rely on her old age to sell her old age, and Mu Mingtang has to listen. Mu Mingtang drooped his head slightly, only when there was a gust of wind in his ear, whatever the Empress Dowager said, anyway, she didn't listen.

After that, Mu Mingtang suddenly realized that no wonder empress dowager Lu suddenly talked about her extravagance. It turned out that it was because of incense?

With empress dowager Lu's brain, Mu Mingtang doesn't think it's the Empress Dowager Lu's idea. It's mostly someone who blows in her ears and incites her. That's why she comes to put pressure on Mu Mingtang.

Since Mu Mingtang used fruit to smoke incense, the one behind can't continue to poison. They don't want to say it directly. They want to use empress dowager Lu's pressure to force Mu Mingtang to cancel the fruit fragrance?

At the beginning, Mu Mingtang didn't plan to argue with empress dowager Lu. Now he wants to understand the intention of the people behind the scenes and becomes more and more quiet. She doesn't refute or listen to what empress dowager Lu says. It's always a matter of time before we can go on talking. As expected, Mu Mingtang coldly dealt with it for a while. The Empress Dowager was tired and naturally stopped talking.

The Empress Dowager and Princess an, the special mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, spoke, but none of the others dared to speak. Fortunately, soon the Empress Dowager said that she was tired. Other people might insert a word and talk about other topics slowly.

When people talk, they all pay attention to Princess an quietly. Unfortunately, Princess an in the center of the topic is relaxed from beginning to end. She doesn't have any shame or anger at all. It's as if she has been ignored. When people see this, they are not without regrets.

Jiang Mingwei didn't see the scene she was looking forward to and was very disappointed. But it's a good thing. At least, Mu Mingtang lost people in public. She was criticized by the Empress Dowager for extravagance. It is estimated that for a period of time, this is the talk of the social circle.

Jiang Mingwei was satisfied. They did not sit for long. The eunuch in red came to say that the dragon boat was ready, and the emperor and the ministers had gone to the grandstand.

The women's families knew it, and they all stood up and went out. Because the dragon boat race faces the people of the whole city, the grandstand is on the other end, facing the people on the water and the other side of the lake. Because the venue is limited, there is no division between men and women.

Mu Mingtang followed the crowd to the stands. A group of female dependents, all slaves, you wait for me, I wait for you, a group of people move very slowly. They had just turned the corner when someone came to see them in the stands. Xie xuanchen looked at their walking speed and felt uncomfortable, so he just strode by himself.

Xie xuanchen approached the crowd, and the women's family members laughed: "king an is coming. As expected, king an would never leave the princess. For such a short distance, I'm afraid we can't abduct her? "

A woman didn't think much, blurted out: "the king of an is really doting on the princess, the princess extravagant, a dress of gold, isn't the king used to?"

After saying this, no one paid attention to it, and even the woman didn't feel anything. But Xie xuanchen came near and just heard it.

Xie xuanchen's eyes narrowed slightly. Luxury is not a good word in any public occasion. If it had not been mentioned just now, these officials and wives would not have mentioned it without reason.

What's more, the performance of the speaker is like speaking without thinking.

Xie xuanchen's expression changed. His eyes became cold and sharp. He swept over the first few people and suddenly asked, "who said she was extravagant and wasteful just now?"

When Xie xuanchen's eyes changed, many people realized that it was wrong.

This is a very difficult feeling to describe, clearly without any external performance, but people can feel that Xie xuanchen's mood has changed.

It's an invisible aura, and people's instinct for danger.

Xie xuanchen's cold vision swept from the empress. Before he spoke, the people behind him did not dare to make a sound. When he asked the word "extravagance and waste" accurately, he was even more silent.The women looked at each other, and no one dared to answer. They don't know why they didn't say a word. Xie xuanchen didn't even come near. How did he detect the content of their conversation in the room. But since Xie xuanchen asked, it's not a joke that can fool the past.

These words are said by the Empress Dowager. They can't expose the empress dowager, and they don't dare lie in front of Xie xuanchen. They can only bow their heads and keep quiet.

The Empress Dowager is embarrassed. In front of so many people, the Empress Dowager can't deny it. But Xie xuanchen's questioning tone, if the Empress Dowager answers, doesn't she look weak?

The Empress Dowager was in a dilemma. After all, in line with her face, she carried the elder's airs and said, "it's a sad family. I heard that Princess an spent a lot of money, and even incense only used fresh fruit, which was too wasteful. It's not easy to think about one porridge and one meal. It's true that Prince an's house is not short of money, but it can't be so extravagant. "

Xie xuanchen laughed angrily when he heard these words. He looked at the Empress Dowager for a moment, then swept the crowd behind him and asked, "if I'm not here, do you talk to her like this?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, the queen tried to make it right: "king an, the Empress Dowager is also kind-hearted, but it's just a reminder. Even Princess an doesn't care."

The queen said, looking at Xiang Mu Mingtang, the meaning in her eyes is very clear. Mu Mingtang snorted in his heart. It's really persimmon that can pick a soft pinch. Just now a group of people were very energetic when they talked about her gossip. How come now, in front of Xie xuanchen, it's just a kind reminder?

And she's pushing her head. She doesn't care?

Mu Mingtang looks down on the Queen's behavior, but she doesn't want Xie xuanchen to be angry on this occasion. Now it's in the stands. Downstairs is the dragon boat team ready to go. There are thousands of people on the opposite side of the lake. If Xie xuanchen does anything, others don't know the details. They will only feel that Xie xuanchen is domineering and rude, and has no respect or inferiority.

Mu Mingtang gently tugs Xie xuanchen's sleeve. Xie xuanchen shakes her hand and looks straight at the Empress Dowager: "since it's kind, why don't you say it in my face? Incense is what I want to do. If it's a waste, it's also a waste. Why don't you just pick on her instead of me? "

The empress and the Empress Dowager were robbed by Xie xuanchen, saying that they had no skin and no face. The empress forced a smile and said, "king an, the Empress Dowager and we didn't say anything. You see, Princess an doesn't care. I'm afraid you misunderstood. Let's go to the stands. The people are waiting for us. "

"She doesn't care. She has a big heart and gives you face, but I'm narrow-minded. What do you have to say in front of me? As long as it's reasonable, I'll bear to scold me. But you've told me about her behind my back. Do you think she's easy to bully? Then I might as well tell you that it's OK for you to say that I'm fine, but she can't do anything. "

There is a lot of activity here. More and more people are looking at it. Even Beirong envoys stand up and look in their direction. The queen was a little anxious and said, "king an, there are envoys and people outside. Don't let outsiders see the joke."

"If you know there are outsiders, how dare you?" Xie xuanchen also raised his voice. His eyes were like a sword coming out of the sheath, and the light was cold. "When you ran on her just now, why didn't you think that this was a big scene and could't be seen as a joke by outsiders? Now I'm going to investigate. Do you think of outsiders? "

After all, even the queen could not take it. She opened her mouth and could not say anything. For a moment, all the women's faces were chatting, especially in the stands in front of them.

Empress Dowager Lu hated being instructed most in her life. She was righted by the outside room, so she always suspected that others would laugh at her behind her back. Now in front of all the people, Xie xuanchen scolded the Empress Dowager. She was so angry that she couldn't help saying, "king an, AI Jia is your elder. Even if you don't have a king's law, you should have a degree."

Empress Dowager Lu is very self-conscious. She doesn't dare to call herself mother. Unexpectedly, she still provokes Xie xuanchen. Xie xuanchen sneered and looked at the Empress Dowager slowly: "elder? What kind of elder are you? They recognize you, but I never recognize you. For Xie Yi's sake, I don't care about anything about you. I think I've given you enough face. As a result, you're shameless. How dare you put your mother-in-law's name on my wife? "

Empress Dowager Lu's face suddenly changed. Since she became empress dowager, no matter what her family background was or what history she had in the past, she seems to have been gilded all at once. When other people see her, they all respectfully call her empress dowager. No one dares to hold on to her past affairs. Empress Dowager Lu has been praised for a long time, so she really feels that she is a noble person with jade inlaid in gold. In a word, she can judge life and death, honor and disgrace.

I didn't expect that one day, I would be ridiculed by a young man in front of all the family members.

At this time, the emperor had sent a eunuch to come, and others came to persuade him: "king an, empress dowager, all calm down. What can I say later. It's all a family. Don't hurt your peace. "

Mu Mingtang also pulled Xie xuanchen's sleeve: "well, I'm really OK. Let's go. "

Xie xuanchen saw in Mu Mingtang's face, reluctantly endured the gas. He finally looked at the Empress Dowager and the queen and said coldly, "for me, she is the family. You are all outsiders. I don't have orders not to kill women and children. I know that you bully her behind my back. No matter what your status is, I will pay for it with my life. "With that, Xie xuanchen took Mu Mingtang and strode away. Mu Mingtang is pulled to stagger for a while, she swept empress dowager in a hurry one eye, hurried a gift, followed Xie xuanchen to walk together.

Only empress dowager Lu was left. Her face turned red and white. She was extremely embarrassed.

The Empress Dowager's face turned from red to white. At last, she went back to rest on the pretext that she had a headache. No matter the dragon boat or the water show, I will not watch it at all.

She is the only one who can watch a play like this.

The empress pretended not to know why the Empress Dowager was ill. She asked the Empress Dowager to send her back. After the Empress Dowager left, the empress seemed to have lost her memory. She did not remember what had just happened. She took the crowd to the stands.

It doesn't matter if the Empress Dowager is not there, but the queen, the mother of the country, can't be absent.

In fact, the queen thought it was good for Empress Dowager Lu to leave, otherwise she would feel embarrassed. Although Xie xuanchen choked her just now, she was only a peacemaker after all. The Empress Dowager of the right way is really shameless and has no face at all.

This is in front of so many people. In the future, what face does the Empress Dowager have to meet the imperial concubines and other women?

There was a strange sense of balance in her heart. Last time at the reception of yeluyan, it was still in front of the envoys inside and outside. Xie xuanchen didn't give her any face. The empress is at least the first wife, Xie xuanchen's serious second aunt. Lu's family is no more than an outer room. She helps to be a puppet on the table. Why can Xie xuanchen be an exception?

So it's fair to say that Xie xuanchen doesn't only give the queen face, but also the empress dowager, the emperor, foreign envoys and so on. This makes the queen more balanced. Everyone loses face. Wait a moment, but there is no shame.

A group of women's families stood on the high building to watch the dragon boat. They were also watched by the people on the other side of the lake. On the surface, they are graceful, but in fact, no one has the heart to pay attention to the following.

They quietly away from Xie xuanchen and Mu Mingtang. Xie xuanchen is so terrible that the Empress Dowager has no face to show up. How dare they offend Mu Mingtang again.

It's humiliating to fight with others. It's humiliating to fight with Mu Mingtang.

No one dares to take Xie xuanchen's words as a joke. Xie xuanchen says that killing is really killing. With his strength, crushing a human skull is no more difficult than crushing a walnut.

It's terrible. Many people are pounding in their hearts now. They thought that Xie xuanchen doted on Mu Mingtang and gave him whatever he wanted. Only in this way did they finally realize that Mu Mingtang was not just a favored woman.

This is Xie xuanchen's inverse scale. The dragon's counter scale will die when touched.
