Chapter 170
Most of the people present were gloating over the misfortune, especially the concubines in the harem.
Looking at the angry and ferocious eyes of the Queen Mother, Jiang Ningyao was completely panicked. She knew the consequences of angering the Queen Mother. She knelt down and begged the emperor: "Your Majesty knows clearly, how dare I tease the Queen Mother? I have no such intention!"
Looking at Jiang Ningyao who was pregnant with Liujia, the emperor frowned slightly and said: "Queen Mother, today is your birthday, Xibi is not so brave."
The Queen Mother's eyes turned cold: "The back of the double-sided embroidery is clearly peony. Who could it be if it wasn't Xi Bin?"
Jiang Zuiyao sat next to the Queen Mother and said: "What your Majesty said is true. Xibi and I grew up together. She would never dare to despise you, let alone tease you. This embroidery... embroidery..."
At the end of the words, Jiang Zuiyao spoke very hard, pretending that she wanted to defend Jiang Ningyao, but couldn't find a reason, so she turned around and asked Jiang Ningyao anxiously: "Sister, what on earth is going on?"
Jiang Zuiyao is not helping Jiang Ningyao, she is clearly adding fuel to the fire!
Jiang Ningyao was confused when she looked at Jiang Zuiyao at this moment, thinking that Jiang Zuiyao was really stupid in the past, so much so that she didn't know whether the Jiang Zuiyao in front of her really wanted to help her.
At this moment, a voice sounded: "I heard that Xibi is an excellent embroiderer. Before she entered the palace, she was the number one embroiderer in Kyoto. In this case, can't you tell the difference between peonies and peonies?"
It was Qin Nanxian. Qin Nanxian's words were like a sharp sword across Jiang Ningyao's jaw, making her not know how to speak and terrified.
That’s right, since she is the number one embroidery girl, she must have practiced hard and practiced embroidery for countless times, and she must have embroidered a lot of patterns. How come you can’t even tell the difference between peonies and peonies?
Only Jiang Zuiyao knew the secret. As a concubine, she was really good at embroidery, but to say that she was the best embroiderer in Kyoto was a bit exaggerated. It was just that Jiang Ningyao had used some tricks earlier to put gold on her face.
The Crown Princess sitting in the banquet also said at this time: "Yes, the women here are all from officialdom. They have been influenced by female celebrities since they were young. Everyone knows that as the number one
Xiu Nu, I can’t tell the difference between peonies and peonies, but that’s a little unreasonable.”
Concubine Hui also echoed at this time: "This number one embroiderer was originally conferred by Xibi herself. The Crown Princess can ask in Kyoto, who recognizes her as the number one embroiderer?"
Xibin wants to seek a future for her unborn son, which will definitely make the Crown Princess unhappy. The reason why Concubine Hui is talking now is because she can't stand Xibin being favored, and the two of them have had conflicts in the past.
As the saying goes, everyone pushes against the wall. Jiang Ningyao is usually very annoying. Naturally, some people want to make fun of her today.
Jiang Ningyao knelt there, not knowing what to do. She knew the consequences of offending the Queen Mother. In a panic, she said: "Yes, I am not the first embroiderer, so I can't tell the difference between peony and peony."
This hurried look made many people laugh secretly.
Xiao Jiang Ningyao did not care about her face in order to excuse herself.
Qin Nanxian then asked again: "So, you also admit that what you are embroidering is peony?"
Jiang Ningyao shook her head: "I didn't, what I embroidered was peonies, not peonies!"
Qin Nanxian smiled coldly: "You don't need to yell at me, it's not like I asked you to embroider it on the neck of my knife holder."
Yes, no one forced Jiang Ningyao to embroider. Every stitch and thread on the embroidery was her masterpiece.
At this moment, the sound of the watch was heard in the distance.
The time of Xu has arrived, the first watch is on.
It was a little late, and the Queen Mother had no time to listen to Jiang Ningyao's defense, so she said angrily: "Jiang Ningyao despises the Ai family, and his crime is unforgivable. I have lowered my promise and will be placed under house arrest immediately. Without the will of the Ai family, I will not be released!"
After giving the order, Jiang Ningyao was so frightened that she ignored her pregnant belly and knelt on the ground, kowtowing hard, again and again, while kowtowing and shouting: "The Queen Mother Mingjian! I did not despise you! I am unjustly accused! The Queen Mother
Ming Jian!”
The Queen Mother frowned angrily and said angrily: "If I hadn't seen that you were pregnant, the Aijia would have pulled you out immediately and killed you with a cane! If you screamed again, the Aijia would have cut out your tongue!"
In this way, Jiang Ningyao no longer dared to shout. She knelt on the ground and shed tears of grievance.
The more the Queen Mother looked at Jiang Ningyao, the more annoyed she became, and she said with disgust: "You have ruined the Ai family's Tianshou Festival! Humph!"
With a cry of contempt, the Queen Mother stood up and threw away her sleeves.
Immediately, everyone in the main hall, except the emperor, knelt down and said: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother had gone away, but people in the hall still didn't dare to get up. The originally lively and good atmosphere was ruined by Jiang Ningyao when the banquet was about to end.
The emperor glanced at Jiang Ningyao, shook his head helplessly, sighed and left.
At this moment, only the queen is left.
The queen stood up holding the palace attendant's hand and said: "It's getting late, everyone, please leave." Then, the queen looked at Jiang Ningyao who was kneeling on the ground crying, her face turned cold, and she ordered: "Come here.
People, please take Xi's concubine, no, Xi agrees, and take her down, and investigate and deal with her in accordance with the Queen Mother's decree."
The guards who walked in from outside the door arrested Jiang Ningyao, and Jiang Ningyao was forcibly taken away in the eyes of everyone. When Jiang Huai, the Minister of Household Affairs, was passing by, Jiang Ningyao shouted: "Father, save me! Save me.
ah!"
At this moment, what could Jiang Huai do? He had no choice but to watch helplessly as the guards took Jiang Ningyao out.
It wasn't until the queen left that the people in the hall began to leave one after another.
Jiang Zuiyao walked out of the hall, secretly stayed away from the crowd leaving the palace, and found Jiang Ningyao.
At this moment, she was being escorted back by the guards, still shouting: "Let me go! I want to see Your Majesty! I was wronged! Let me go!"
Jiang Zuiyao's eyes turned cold, and she walked over and said, "Sister, please don't waste your efforts. Your Majesty won't be able to hear you."
Xiyun stepped forward at this time, stuffed money into the guard's hand, and said, "Excuse me, sir, please be accommodating and allow my master to have a few words with Xi."
The guard did not dare to accept Xijun's money and was a little embarrassed.
Xiyun forced the silver into the guard's hand and said: "My master and Xi Sheng are sisters. It is rare for the master to enter the palace. Let them catch up with each other and just say a few words. It won't take long."
The guard naturally knew Jiang Zuiyao, weighed the money in his hand, and said: "You must hurry up, otherwise I will not be able to do business."
The guards also knew that Jiang Ningyao could not run away, so they walked to a distance where they could see her.
Jiang Zuiyao stood in front of Jiang Ningyao. Before she could speak first, Jiang Ningyao spoke first: "Are you here to see my joke?"
Jiang Zuiyao shook his head and said: "I told you that I can prevent you from ever turning over without spending a single soldier."
Jiang Ningyao was immediately shocked: "Is it you?" She looked at the stupid and stupid Jiang Zuiyao from before and shook her head: "Impossible! You don't have such ability, it can't be you!"
The next second, Jiang Zuiyao grabbed the skirt of Jiang Zuiyao's clothes, pulled it in front of her eyes, and said viciously: "Everything is thanks to you!"
