Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 290 I believe he can find it

Under the pavilion in the distance, the singing and dancing have not stopped. From time to time, the maids who serve and take care of the palace are walking back and forth, and some court ladies gather together in twos and threes to discuss fundraising in a low voice.

In the garden outside the pavilion, Wu Rou threw away the accompanying ceremonial guard, leaving only the colorful clothes behind her, and slowly enjoyed the flower scenery with Li Yifu's wife.

Mrs. Qiao bowed slightly and followed Wu Rou one step behind, looking very nervous.

She came from a humble background and was not as confident as other family members of high-ranking officials, and she exuded a cautious simplicity in everything.

Wu Rou's eyes turned from the garden scenery, glanced at her gently, and asked gently:
"Do you have any brothers or sisters at home?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Qiao quickly lowered her body and said respectfully:

"Back to the queen, my husband is the only one."

Wu Rou smiled slightly, turned to look at her and said:

"I'm not asking about your husband, I'm asking about you."

Mrs. Qiao raised her head in fear and saw that Wu Rou's expression was very gentle, so she quickly lowered her head and said:

"Oh...my family...my family has four brothers and sisters, one sister and two brothers. I am the second oldest."

"Well, are the sisters at home getting along well?" Wu Rou asked casually.

Qiao secretly looked at the Queen's profile again, and saw that she looked relaxed, as if she was really just talking. So she relaxed a lot, and followed her, saying:

"It's not bad. When I was young, my family was poor, so my sister and I would fight for a long time just for a piece of clothing. If there were eggs, they belonged to the two younger brothers. Greedy gave birth to hatred, and the two of us bullied our younger brothers secretly.

But now that we are older, each of them has a family, and we get together occasionally. I recall that when I was a child, I was still sad, hugging and crying and laughing. "

As Wu Rou listened, a look of envy gradually appeared in her eyes, and she said with emotion:

"Then you have such a good relationship, it's really enviable... My family is different, we are not born from the same mother-in-law, and we are separated by hatred.

When Aye was here, my two brothers never blushed at us and were always polite.

I just thought it was normal. Who knew they were bearing the humiliation? As soon as I, Aye, was not around, I revealed my true form and wanted to kill us. "

"Ah." Qiao naturally did not expect that the queen would have such a secret, and subconsciously let out a soft sound of surprise.

Then she felt that she had made a mistake in front of the queen, and she quickly lowered her head in fear.

Wu Rou still smiled without any special reaction. The two of them walked around the garden for a few more steps and asked again:
"I heard from Your Majesty that there is a very beautiful woman hiding in your home."

When Qiao heard this, she almost panicked. She opened her big eyes and looked at Wu Rou in shock and stammered:
"I...I...he he he..."

Naturally, Mrs. Qiao knew what the beauty who stayed at home did. Li Yifu always said that it was reserved for the emperor. He even said that the emperor was obviously interested in the woman, and he might remember her one day and ask her to support her like an aunt.

She never expected that the queen would actually know! What should she say at this time?
Seeing her nervous look, Wu Rou looked a little funny, so she raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and asked with a smile:
"What are you afraid of? You look scared."

"Mother...my husband, he...he..."

"I know, I didn't mean to blame him." Wu Rou interrupted her, raised her face slightly, and said confidently and calmly:

"Li Yifu is a talented person. Not only is he talented in literature, but he also knows how to figure out the superior's intentions and use all means to secretly serve him. He is very rare among courtiers. Otherwise, His Majesty would not reuse him." Mrs. Qiao gritted her teeth hard and said He suppressed his trembling, knelt down on the ground, and said:
"Please, Queen, have mercy on him and let him go this time. I will definitely teach him a lesson when I get back. As for that girl... I will have her sold to the Music Bureau!"

Wu Rou stretched out his arms, gently lifted her up from the ground, looked into her eyes seriously and said;
"What I said is the truth, not an irony. Don't you believe me?"

Mrs. Qiao was stunned and opened her mouth slightly. After she stood up with Wu Rou's hand, she didn't even close her mouth.

Wu Rou shook the shawl on her arms to make it fit more properly. The fine silk satin drew a graceful arc on her side and then fell down, which was very eye-catching.

She held her shawl gracefully and looked at the blooming flowers on both sides. She walked slowly and said:

"It is your duty as a minister to offer good things to Your Majesty. Whether you accept it or not is entirely up to Your Majesty.

If Your Majesty likes it, I can't stop it. If Your Majesty doesn't like it, then I have no reason to blame him. "

After she finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Qiao beside her and asked:

"Are you right?"

Although Qiao was still confused, she still nodded subconsciously.

Wu Rou continued:
"I am not afraid of what others may offer to Your Majesty, whether it is slander or beauty. Because the trust between Your Majesty and I is not only about love, but also about the world."

She changed the subject as she spoke,
"I called you here not to hold the beauty accountable, but to ask Li Yifu to do me a favor."

Qiao's eyes flickered, her simple expression was surprised for a moment, and then she quickly replied loyally:
"My queen, please speak, and I will definitely bring you the words."

Wu Rou stood still, turned sideways, raised her face slightly, and said arrogantly and indifferently;

"I need him to write a letter to join my two brothers. As for the reason, I believe he can find it."

……

……

Mrs. Qiao returned home worried, and waited for her husband to come back from the palace.

Zhongshu Ling is an important position, and he is the right minister. If there is no other dispatch, he will stay in the palace almost all day to deal with government affairs, and only come back in the evening.

When he finally came back, as soon as he entered the door, Mrs. Qiao followed him, dismissed all the servants waiting on him, and told him what happened in the palace during the day.

Li Yifu was covered in cold sweat after hearing this. He paced back and forth in the room silently with his hands behind his back, and didn't speak for a long time.

Mrs. Qiao looked worried and said:
"Although she says she doesn't mind, after all, it was you who did the thing that offended her. She wants to order you now. This is an opportunity to redeem yourself and make meritorious service. You have to do it well for her."

Li Yifu suddenly stopped, turned around and angrily said:
"Women know how to get the chance to make meritorious deeds. This is obviously a trap for me!"

Mrs. Qiao was shocked, couldn't help but took a few steps closer, raised her face and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Li Yifu sat down on a chair and said angrily, "How can anyone let outsiders sue their own family? Everyone in the court knows that His Majesty favors the Wu family, and many people are dissatisfied.

But no one dared to say it clearly. They just made circumstantial suggestions and said that there was something wrong with having too much favor. It would be nice of her to let me directly join the two brothers from the Wu family?
Doesn’t this make me hit a rock? She is not trying to get rid of her brother, she is trying to get rid of me! "

Mrs. Qiao was confused and never thought of this possibility. But after thinking about it for a while, she felt something was wrong and said cautiously:
"Lang Jun, I think you are wrong. From the look on the queen's face, she really doesn't care about the beauty Sun. In and out of her words, she praises you for your good looks and wants you to help her."
