Chapter 268 Disrupting Dinner
Zheng Jin and the embarrassed Qin Shushu looked at each other
They both wondered in their hearts, what did the Queen want Danzhen to do at this time?
The palace maids following behind Danzhen were holding fine fabrics and jewelry in their hands.
Danzhen replied, "The Queen asked me to come and see if there is anything missing in Lady Mo's palace so that the Imperial Household Department can make up for it. The Queen rewarded Lady Mo with the newly arrived brocade and jewelry from the Imperial Household Department. Lady Mo likes plain colors, and the Queen said that this batch of elegant materials is suitable for Lady Mo."
After these words were spoken, Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu's faces became very ugly.
The Queen Mother sent Danzhen here in person. How could this be a reward to Gu Mo?
This is clearly a warning to the two of them that Gu Mo is someone she values, and the Queen is supporting Gu Mo!
No wonder Zhang Yuyan came back with Gu Mo. It turns out that the Queen was the one behind this.
A dark light flashed in Zheng Jin's eyes. It turned out that the reason why Gu Mo was so bold today was because the Queen instigated him behind the scenes.
Otherwise, how could she be so bold? The Queen is trying to use Gu Molu and the others' faces.
Gu Mo also stood there in a daze.
She looked at the cloth and jewelry in Danzhen and the palace maids' hands, and was deeply moved.
Without any affection, the Queen Mother protected her.
Zhang Yuyan smiled and said, "Sister Mo, the colors of these Jiangnan brocades really suit you. The Queen's kindness cannot be let down. Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs make some clothes for you using these materials. They will definitely look great when you wear them."
Zhang Yuyan turned her head again and looked at Qin Shushu and Zheng Jin standing there, smiling slightly.
"Jin Ronghua, Shu Jieyu, do you two think this color suits Concubine Mo?"
Heartbreaking
Zhang Yuyan's question broke their hearts.
Qin Shushu frowned, and was about to explode with anger.
Zhang Yuyan was not in a hurry either. She just stood there and looked at her with a smile.
Qin Shushu knew that the Queen was protecting Gu Mo, so she naturally didn't dare to do the same thing as before.
Under Zhang Yuyan's gaze, she could only nod reluctantly, gritting her teeth.
"nice"
Zhang Yuyan looked at Zheng Jin again
Zheng Jin could only smile awkwardly and said, "It looks good. This color really suits Mo Guiren."
Gu Mo looked at Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu, whose expressions changed immediately after seeing the Queen's reward. He felt that these completely different expressions were so disgusting.
Neither Zheng Jin nor Qin Shushu wanted to stay here anymore.
They felt so embarrassed that they wanted to leave right away.
Next second
Danzhen looked at the two of them
"Jin Ronghua, Shu Jieyu, the Queen Mother caught a cold in Yushan. The Queen Mother asked you two to stay in the palace to copy the Lotus Sutra for the Queen Mother and pray for her. When the Lotus Sutra is copied, Jin Ronghua and Shu Jieyu will leave Ning'an Palace. In the next few days, the Queen Mother asks you to exempt the two ladies from paying respects."
Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu were both dumbfounded. Copying scriptures for the empress dowager?
How could they never have imagined that the Queen would use this method against them?
It would take at least seven or eight days to copy the sutras to pray for the Empress Dowager, and there could not be any mistakes.
The way the queen treated them was truly cruel.
Zhang Yuyan looked at the two people's shocked expressions and couldn't help laughing.
Or the Queen knows how to deal with these two people
Copying scriptures for the Queen Mother, it's useless even if Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu report it to the Emperor
The Queen's trick is amazing.
Not only did it prevent Zheng Jin and Gu Mo from leaving Ning'an Palace, it also left them no time to bully Concubine Mo. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Dan Zhen continued, "Why, Jin Ronghua and Shu Jieyu, are you two unwilling to copy the Lotus Sutra to pray for the Queen Mother?"
How dare Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu say they don’t want to?
If this matter were to get to the emperor's ears, they would no longer have any favor.
The two nodded
Zheng Jin quickly forced a smile
"Of course, Concubine Jieyu and I are willing to copy Buddhist scriptures for the Queen Mother, but..."
Zheng Jin paused and said, the emperor promised to have dinner with her today.
She had stood for a whole morning to get this opportunity, so how could she be willing to give it up just like that?
Zheng Jin deliberately made it difficult
"However, the Emperor agreed this morning to come to Ning'an Palace for dinner. Can I copy this tomorrow?"
At this time, Zheng Jin didn't mention Qin Shushu next to him at all, and just wanted to start tomorrow.
When Qin Shushu heard that Xie Yu was coming to Ning'an Palace to accompany Zheng Jin for dinner, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Zheng Jin thought that since he had said so, Dan Zhen couldn't say anything more. He was feeling proud.
Danzhen looked at her with no expression on her face.
After spending a long time with Lin Junxue, Danzhen's personality became very cold in front of outsiders.
"Jin Ronghua does not need to worry about this. Start copying tonight. The Empress will explain the reason to the Emperor. Jin Ronghua should have dinner by herself. Copying the sutra for the Empress Dowager is a big deal and cannot be delayed. Please ask Jin Ronghua and Shu Jieyu to return to the palace immediately and copy the Lotus Sutra."
Zheng Jin's face froze completely, and her hands on her sleeves were shaking with anger.
The Emperor can't even have dinner with her?
The Queen suppressed her for her own selfish reasons, fearing that she would be favored by the Emperor.
This is not for Gu Mo at all, what a calculation.
Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu turned around and went back to the palace with sullen faces. Zhang Yuyan looked at Gu Mo with a face full of praise.
"Sister Mo is really strong. Today, she has finally forgiven the anger she has endured these days. If her wish comes true in the future, she will definitely be as brave and strong as she is today."
Gu Mo's eyes were red, and she nodded vigorously. "Thank you, Concubine Yan Zhaoyi."
Then, Gu Mo looked at Dan Zhen again.
"Miss Danzhen, please be sure to convey my gratitude to the Queen. I will never forget the Queen's kindness in this life."
Danzhen nodded and said, "Mrs. Mo, I will do it."
Ning'an Palace
After seeing Zhang Yuyan and Danzhen leave, Zheng Jin was still unwilling to give up, so she asked her personal maid to go to Taiwu Palace.
He repeated what she taught him, wanting Xie Yu to come to Ning'an Palace.
Originally, after Xie Yu heard the words of Zheng Jin's personal maid, he remembered Zheng Jin's pitiful appearance this morning and had planned to go to Ning'an Palace.
Soon, Guyu also came to Taiwu Hall
"Your Majesty, today, Your Majesty asked Jin Ronghua and Shu Jieyu to copy Buddhist scriptures together to pray for the Queen Mother. After the scriptures are copied, they will be sent to Yushan. Your Majesty knows that Your Majesty promised Jin Ronghua to have dinner with her forever, but the Queen Mother has been suffering from a cold and has not recovered. Your Majesty is anxious and wants to send the Buddhist scriptures to Yushan as soon as possible. Time is a bit tight, Your Majesty asked this servant to come and ask, if Your Majesty wants to have dinner in Ning'an Palace, Your Majesty will ask others to write it."
Xie Yu thought about it and thought that it was just a dinner. Compared with copying Buddhist scriptures and praying for his mother, it was not important.
Xie Yu gave up the idea of going to Ning'an Palace for dinner and decided to go to Zhonghe Palace for dinner.
"No need. Just follow the Queen's instructions and let Jin Ronghua and Shu Jieyu copy the Buddhist scriptures together. You go back and tell the Queen that I will go to Zhonghe Palace to have dinner with her in the evening."
Zhonghe Palace
study
Lin Junxue put down her pen and looked at the copybook on the table. After almost two years of practice, her handwriting had become almost identical to the original owner, making it difficult to tell the real from the fake.
She still destroyed the calligraphy she had just written and then called Qiao Xin.
