Chapter 112 Are You Going to Commit A Slow Murder?

Ten days later, the first small banquet in the palace was to give all the concubines who were contracted to the six bureaus a chance to show their strength and make money. The whole palace was infected by positive emotions, except for Phoenix Palace and Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace was still banned, and Mu Tinng seemed to have forgotten about Gu Linng. Knowing that Su Mianyue's foot injury had healed, there was still no decree to lift the ban, and Su Mianyue did not want to mention it.

As for Phoenix Palace, there was no contract, and the palace people lived a leisurely life every day. Su Mianyue was not strict with them, and they only needed to complete their work, so they could gather in twos and threes to play cards, or gossip.

Of course, these palace people's activity area can only be their rest area, not to disturb Su Mianyue, let alone lose face in Phoenix Palace.

"Miss, the banquet is about to begin. News has come from Mental Cultivation Hall. The emperor is going to Banquet Hall soon. Miss, please put on your makeup quickly." Biwu hurried over and pulled Su Mianyue towards the dresser.

Chunhua and the others looked at each other and sighed with relief. They did not have the courage of Biwu, nor did they have the weight of Biwu in Su Mianyue's heart. They did not dare to say much even if they tried to persuade him, lest they upset Su Mianyue.

"What's the hurry? It's just a small practical banquet. With the emperor and the generals drinking and talking, it's easy. It's boring to sit around in this palace. There's no fun at all." Su Mianyue flattened her mouth but did not stop Biwu from putting makeup on her.

As the empress, this kind of occasion must be attended, otherwise it will be greatly exaggerated and immoral, even Su Chengye and others will be implicated, and will even chill the hearts of the soldiers who shed their blood for the country.

Seeing that biwu was going to put on a lot of makeup, Su Mianyue immediately jumped up and pushed a pile of rouge powder to the side. Su Mianyue said hurriedly, "Biwu baby, these things are beyond the standard of lead and mercury. Don't use them to harm me. This is equivalent to a slow murder."

Seeing that Su Mianyue could not avoid these things, Biwu had to take second place and put on Su Mianyue's hairpin.

Because Su Mianyue refused to put on her makeup, Biwu put on a simple bun and did not wear a heavy crown. Instead, she wore a string of ruby forehead ornaments, a golden comb with phoenix wings spread and ruby inlaid in the back of her head, and a pair of cherry ruby earrings with tassels. Around his neck, he wore a Su Mianyue's own zodiac pendant, a long, creamy white dress with a red brocade tulle over it. It was elegant and elegant, yet it did not lose its girlish beauty.

Satisfied with the look, Su Mianyue picked up a solid gold hairpin in the box as he stood up and stuck it in Biwu's hair. He smiled and said, "Baby Biwu is my favorite. This hibiscus hairpin is for my Biwu baby. I wish you an outstanding appearance like a water hibiscus in the future."

"Miss will tease me." Biwu was overjoyed and touched the gold hairpin. She thought to herself that miss was really nice. When she first saw the gold hairpin, she liked it very much. It was more attractive to Biwu than the silver ticket.

Having seen through Biwu's little thoughts, Su Mianyue smiled and said, "It's just a golden hairpin. You've been looking forward to it so many times, but you're too embarrassed to ask for it. It's really getting bigger and bigger."

"Miss reward, that means that the servant did a good job. But if the servant came to ask for it himself, it would be to be spoiled and proud. Miss's things are miss. Unless miss is willing to reward, no one is qualified to be contaminated." Biwu spoke very seriously. She had been with Su Mianyue for so long and would never ask for anything for no reason. This golden hairpin was the only thing that made biwu's mind move, but it did not give birth to the desire to take possession of herself.

Su Mianyue smiled. Perhaps that was the most valuable thing about Biwu, and the reason why she was really good to this girl.

"It's been a long time since the spring flowers and autumn moon have persuaded this palace. It's been a long time. There's a pair of gold bracelets of rich and noble Jixiang in the box. This palace looks good too, so it rewards them and puts them on to give Phoenix Palace a long face." Su Mianyue treated Biwu well from the bottom of his heart, while Chunhua and the others looked at his mood and weighed his skills.

Sure enough, when they got the gold bracelet, Chunhua and Qiuyue immediately knelt down to thank them and were overjoyed.

"As long as our master is loyal and loyal to the people below, it is good for him to be friendly, but he is not to be deceived. If anyone really does something that betrays his master, it will be a miserable end." Biwu rapped a few words at the right time, and when he saw the two girls panicking, he softened his tone and helped them up with a smile. "All right, don't kneel so easily. Master said that in this phoenix palace, everyone has human rights when there are no outsiders. Put on the bracelet and serve the master to Banquet Hall."

"Hey." Chunhua answered happily, and Qiuyue nodded with a smile.

Su Mianyue glanced at them and said to biwu, "Let's go first. Chunhua and Qiuyue will tell the kitchen to prepare some ginger soup and put on a cloak. It will be windy when we come back."

After the master and servant walked out of their bedroom, Su Mianyue looked at Biwu and saw that she did not notice anything unusual. He could not help shaking his head, but did not give any more instructions. Biwu's carelessness needed a lesson to change.

As for Qiuyue...

Su Mianyue frowned. I hope she thought too much, or she would make Qiuyue regret her betrayal.

Not to mention what was on Su Mianyue's mind, Chunhua and Qiuyue were still in bed. Chunhua put on the bracelet with a smile and kept saying that the empress was kind. It was a blessing that they could serve such a master for generations.

Qiuyue, on the other hand, looked thoughtfully at the gold bracelet on her wrist and lost her excitement. She seemed to say to herself, "In the queen's heart, sister Biwu is different. That gold hairpin is the most popular one at the moment."

"Sister Biwu's hairpin is beautiful, but this gold bracelet is solid too. It's much heavier than that gold hairpin. We are also touched by sister Biwu's light. If you don't like it, you can exchange the gold bracelet for the gold hairpin. Otherwise, you can sell it to me and make a good pair." Chunhua did not notice the abnormality in Qiuyue's demeanor and chattered.

Looking up at Chunhua, Qiuyue's eyes flashed with a lonely look, then he smiled and said, "You and I are the best sisters. Each one of these gold bracelets is the most suitable, but Chunhua should keep them well in the future, or I will be the first to spare you."

"You can rest assured that such a valuable thing is still a gift from the empress, so naturally it has to be guarded." Chunhua smiled contentedly and said, "You go get the empress a cloak. I'll go to the kitchenette and see you at the entrance of the palace."

After Chunhua finished speaking, she left quickly. Qiuyue touched the gold bracelet on her wrist and looked at the exquisite jewelry boxes on the dresser. Even if she did not open them, she knew how many valuable ornaments were in them. Any one of them was valuable, and the contrast on her wrist became a common thing.

"I have tried my best to serve the empress, but I can't compare to sister Biwu who has served the empress for so many years. This is not the same." Walking to the dresser, he opened the two boxes containing the gold hairpin and the gold bracelet. Obviously, the ornaments inside were not of the same grade. Qiuyue could not hide his disappointment, "No matter how valuable the gold bracelet is, it is also a common thing, but the gold hairpin is made by a craftsman. What is worse about a servant than sister Biwu? The empress wants to treat one with respect to the other?"

Qiuyue looked at the two boxes, and the more she looked at them, the angrier she became. Finally, she closed the box with a bang, threw it back, and went to find a cloak for Su Mianyue. No one knew what she was doing or what she was thinking.

Besides, the interaction between Mu Tinng and Shangguan Pei at the banquet was enough to make everyone understand Mu Tinng's reliance on Shangguan Pei. Su Chengye, as the leader of the officials, had to drag his body to attend the practical banquet, and his sense of existence was almost zero.

Seeing that the generals were enjoying themselves, Su Mianyue whispered to biwu, "Prepare a bowl of hot soup for Prime Minister Su and a blanket."

Only a few people found out about Su Mianyue's actions, including Mu Chen, who had always been unwilling to attend the palace banquet, and Shangguan Pei, who was the main character, and Mu Tinng, as well as Grand Preceptor Gu's camp. Immediately, someone was ready to make trouble for Su Mianyue.

When the hot soup and blankets for Su Chengye were delivered, the civil servant, li ting, was drunk. He picked up his glass and walked up to Su Chengye. He said to Su Chengye, who was preparing the soup, "Prime Minister Su is indeed blessed. With a lady as queen, she is still so filial to Prime Minister Su. The taste of this hot soup must be especially delicious. But some old people are pitiful. When they are seriously ill, they can't even see their granddaughter."

"When she was seriously ill, the empress recited scriptures and prayed for blessings in the palace. Now she is very good. It can be seen that filial piety is the same as sincerity." Su Chengye said, not only praising Su Mianyue, but also belittling Gu Linng.

Grandma was seriously ill. Instead of sincerely praying for a happy and healthy life, she cried and died for the old man.

Li ting choked. Seeing that Su Chengye did not look at him, he suddenly felt that he had been humiliated. He stuck his neck up and said, "The empress is very filial and can be regarded as a model of motherhood. But now it's autumn, and the empress is only attending a banquet without her palace clothes, and she's still wearing a tulle. Is it just that she wants people to laugh at me, the Tianlan, for being so poor?"

These words were clearly directed at Su Mianyue, and several people who had been watching Su Mianyue, except Grand Preceptor Gu, were angry.

"What Mr. Li really wants to say is that this palace is shameless and trying to charm the monarch, right?" Su Mianyue spoke unhurriedly, her slender fingers rubbing against the edge of the wine glass, a hint of laziness in elegance, as if her existence should be the most dazzling.

Su Mianyue's dress today was indeed more glamorous than the others, and the heavy makeup of the harem and concubines lost its true color.

However, Su Mianyue's straightforward words not only stunned the others, but also made li ting unable to find a suitable excuse in the first place. It was obvious that he was shocked by Su Mianyue's directness.

"Eunuch de hai, may I trouble you to read out the words you conveyed in Phoenix Palace from the emperor's banquet in public?" Su Mianyue looked at Dehai calmly.

With a chill on his back, Dehai subconsciously looked towards the empress dowager. Su Mianyue was always in a gentle manner, while Mu Tinng's eyes were full of indulgence. Dehai knew how to respond.

"The emperor ordered his servants to send word to the empress that this banquet is for all the generals who are about to go to the border, and also to bid farewell to General Shangguan, a good friend of the past, because the empress came to the banquet if she was healthy, and everything is important to the empress," de hai said loudly.

Su Mianyue nodded and motioned for Dehai to step down. Looking at li ting, whose hands were shaking with the wine glass, Su Mianyue said with a half-smile, "My palace has always been in poor health. Recently, I have been working hard for the emperor to visit Phoenix Palace every day. I am deeply moved and sorry, so I dragged my sick body to attend the banquet. It is my respect for all the generals and also my concern for the emperor's friendship with General Shangguan. In case the banquet is too formal, everyone will be restrained. But here comes lord li..."

Su Mianyue shook his head and did not finish his sentence, but li ting was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Forgive me, your majesty. I have no intention of slandering the empress. However, the empress is a model of the six palaces. Her every move represents the national system. However, the empress is dressed like this at the banquet. It really does not conform to the rules and regulations of the palace. Please let the emperor know clearly."

"What did the queen say?" Mu Tinng tilted his head and asked Su Mianyue with a smile. His big hand rested on her cool little hand, which caused an uproar at the party.

When did the empress dowager have such a good relationship?

Or were they all dazed?
