The queen is tea-smooth and charming, and she wins the house fight by lying down

Chapter 35 She Left Over

All thoughts were put away, Yue Hua knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Queen Mother. May you be blessed with good health and longevity."

Every move of the girl was perfect and there was nothing wrong with it.

Hearing her voice, the beautiful girl beside the Queen Mother, Mu Xueyan, also came back to her senses and praised in a soft voice:
"I have heard of Miss Yue's reputation for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to meet her. Now I see that she is indeed a beauty, and her reputation is well-deserved."

Yue Xianhua's eyes flickered slightly. The other party's attitude was so gentle and sincere that she couldn't tell for a moment whether the words were sincere or not.

After all, she used to be known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, and was often associated with the title of... the fiancée of the prime minister's son.

Mu Xueyan carefully observed Yue Xianhua's reaction. If there was any mistake, the Queen Mother's protective nature would greatly reduce the good impression of her.

Unfortunately, Yue Xianhua's attitude was very calm, so calm that he was even a little wooden.

She had no choice but to turn to the Queen Mother, smiling and acting coquettishly:

"You, Queen Mother, have always been worried about my brother's marriage. Now that you have Sister Yue, a virtuous wife with both talent and beauty, and a kind heart, to assist you, you can rest assured in the future."

Here it is again...

Even though Master Xiao's biological father doesn't pay much attention to this matter, these two people in the palace are really concerned about it.

Yue Xianhua felt a little sarcastic in his heart, but his face became more gentle and gentle.

The Queen Mother spoke gently, "I heard that you have been taught by famous scholars since you were young, and you are gentle and generous. In the future, you must encourage Yan'er to study hard and stop making trouble all day long."

Mu Xueyan smiled quietly at the side, wanting to see how Yue Luhua would respond.

You should know that Xiao Yan has always hated studying.

When he was studying with the other princes at the Imperial Academy, he was scolded by the Imperial Tutor for making trouble in class and fighting with other princes: "You are obsessed with playing with things and have no knowledge or skills!"

After that, he dropped out of the Imperial College and never entered the palace again.

It was not long after that that his reputation as a playboy gradually spread throughout the capital.

Yue Hua: “Yes.”

The woman's sweet and pleasant voice brought Mu Xueyan back to her senses.

Well, then what?
Gone?

Her expression changed. Where did this idiot come from? He couldn't even say a few words at such a good opportunity to please the Queen Mother?
Yue Xianhua didn’t know who the beautiful woman next to the Queen Mother was yet, but she keenly sensed that her attitude towards her was a little subtle.

A resistance that was neither hard nor soft...seemingly gentle and friendly, but setting traps for her from time to time.

But soon, she figured it out:
Maybe that someone isn't the unrequited love she thinks she is?

Judging from his reaction, he does care about him to some extent.

Although she figured it out, Yue Xianhua still had no reaction. She was still not interested in Xiao Yan's affairs as always.

Mu Xueyan couldn't help but try a few more times.

But every time I meet Yue Xianhua, it's like punching cotton. She's as tough as a clay figure and has no temper at all, which makes people feel inexplicably frustrated.

On the contrary, the Queen Mother next to her was traditional and believed that women should take care of their husbands and children. She liked women like her who were "quiet and unobtrusive", and the way she looked at Yue Xianhua became a little gentler.

Just then, word came from outside - the second young master Xiao has arrived!
Yue Huahua clearly felt that the atmosphere in the hall had changed. Everyone seemed to be...excited? Xiao Yan came in from outside and saw the beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes sitting next to him.

Although she was quiet and low-key, she didn't look like she was being bullied.

With certainty in his heart, the smile on his face became even brighter: "Xiao Yan pays respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be in good health."

Seeing the spirited, handsome and energetic young man walk in with great vigor, the whole hall seemed to light up.

The loving smile on the Queen Mother's face became more sincere. "Hurry up and let me see you. You are such a heartless person. You haven't come to the palace to see me for so long. Have you forgotten that I, an old woman, still miss you in the palace?"

Mu Xueyan looked at the quiet and silent girl beside her with a calm expression and a bit of complacency.

Thinking back to the first time she saw the Queen Mother being so affectionate and loving to Xiao Yan, she was shocked for a long time. If it wasn’t for...

Mu Xueyan frowned:
She can actually drink tea?

Yue Xianhua calmly lowered her head and drank her tea, as if what was happening in front of her had nothing to do with her.

"Yan'er, Yan'er?"

It was not until her arm was pushed that Mu Xueyan came back to her senses. She had actually lost her composure in front of the Queen Mother because she was looking at Yue Luhua too seriously!

"What are you thinking about that makes you so obsessed?"

The Queen Mother was just curious, not angry.

But this was enough to make Mu Xueyan nervous: "Replying to the Queen Mother, Yan'er, Yan'er just saw that Sister Yue didn't talk much, and I was a little worried that she might not be used to it."

With just one sentence, everyone's attention was drawn to Yue Xianhua.

This time, you should say something, right?
Yue Xianhua wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief and answered in a voice that the Queen Mother and the others could just hear: "No."

Before Mu Xueyan could come up with the next word of concern, she continued:
"It's just that this is my first time entering the palace, and I was so shocked to see that the Empress Dowager and the Bodhisattva in Fayuan Temple look exactly alike that I dare not look directly at her. Please forgive me, Empress Dowager."

This answer was unexpected by everyone, especially the Queen Mother, who loved Buddhism and was quite curious:
"Oh, the Bodhisattva of Fayuan Temple?"

If Yue Xianhua had simply said that the empress dowager "looked like a bodhisattva", the empress dowager would not be too surprised. Over the years, she had heard all kinds of compliments and flattery.

But the other party pointed out the specific location, which is...

"Fayuan Temple is a small temple on a mountain outside Beijing. I went there once to pray for my grandmother. The Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple is dignified and loves the world. She is very famous in the vicinity. If the Queen Mother is interested, you can send someone to take a look."

Yue Xianhua's voice flowed like a clear spring, neither fast nor slow, making people who listened to her speak listen to her unconsciously.

In the storybook, the real daughter Yue Xianxian won the Queen Mother's favor the first time they met thanks to this "Bodhisattva statue of Fayuan Temple".

She borrowed it for a while, what's wrong?
Seeing that the girl had a calm expression and clear eyes, and didn't seem to be lying, the empress dowager couldn't help but feel ripples in her heart.

The palace servants beside her observed her expression and flattered her: "Second Madam would definitely not deceive the Queen Mother with such a thing. This must be true. Queen Mother, you are kind and benevolent, and you are the mother of the world. How similar are you to the compassionate Bodhisattva? To be lucky enough to be like the Bodhisattva in this world is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes."

The empress dowager was pleased. She then looked at Yue Xianhua, who was in great shape. Standing together with Xiao Yan, they were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, so pleasing to the eyes.

She was so happy that she took off the bracelet from her wrist and said, "I liked you so much the moment I saw you. You can take this bracelet and don't refuse it."

Mu Xueyan froze: She seemed to have done something extremely stupid...
