216 Asking for a Monthly Ticket in Difficulty
Some of the timid daughters of aristocratic families covered their eyes and did not dare to look at it, while others were trembling with their beauty turned pale.
At this time, Linghuquan, who was sitting side by side with Concubine Jin and Concubine Hui, glanced around the hall, but did not see the full moon and Qiu Yu. Linghuquan's expression changed. Although it was a subtle move, the queen noticed it.
A positive one.
As the tiger cage rested firmly on the ground, the tiger cage suddenly suffered a huge impact. The cage trembled on the spot, making a trembling sound that would only occur when a gun hits metal.
At this moment, a corner of the red velvet was lifted up, revealing a sharp claw of a colorful tiger.
"Ah! It's so scary! It's so scary!"
"Yes! Just being locked in a cage is so scary. I wonder what kind of performance will happen next?"
"I heard that the tigers will be released and there will be animal taming performances. Is it possible to be so close -"
"Please keep your voice down! It's time for your life! The tiger show is the emperor's favorite thing to watch, but you still dare to make irresponsible remarks."
The crowd's chatter became quieter and quieter. Although they were afraid of the tiger, their curiosity clearly outweighed their fear.
As the red velvet was slowly unveiled, two colorful tigers, a male and a female, appeared in the cage.
"This tiger is indeed the king of beasts. Even if it is locked in a cage, its majesty remains undiminished and makes people tremble." The Queen Mother said, turning her eyes to Shang Moxin, as if she had something to say to her.
"However, no matter how powerful the beast is, it still cannot shake the majesty of the emperor. The emperor likes it, so he keeps it in captivity, just to watch its performances and appreciate its uniqueness, but the distance between the tiger and the emperor is always impossible
If it is too close, even if it becomes a domestic cat, it will not be an orthodox domestic cat."
When the Queen Mother said this, she was speaking in the direction of Shang Moxin.
Now the emperor's love for Shang Moxin has gradually exceeded the tolerance of the queen mother. It is not an exaggeration for the queen mother to stand up for the queen.
Shang Moxin looked cold, glanced at the Queen beside the Queen Mother, and then said coldly,
"In that case, how about catching a house cat and having a duel with this tiger later? I believe it will be interesting. Isn't it, Queen?"
Shang Moxin looked directly past the Queen Mother and towards the Queen.
At this moment, the Queen is still showing a virtuous and virtuous attitude, setting an example for the mother to behave in the world.
She is such a queen, but she has done everything behind the scenes! If Miss Linghu discovers the clues in time, I am afraid that no one will cooperate with her in tonight's drama!
The queen's heart is actually more vicious than anyone else!
Shang Moxin doesn't know yet that the death of Princess Wei Ai is also related to the Queen. If she knew, I'm afraid she wouldn't only use the word vicious to describe the Queen.
A hint of confusion flashed across the Queen's face, and she immediately calmed down and said calmly,
"I only hope that the Sixth Palace will be stable, that the Emperor will have peace of mind, and that the Queen Mother will be well. I don't think too much about the rest." The Queen's expression and tone matched perfectly, but made Shang Moxin look aggressive.
It doesn’t matter, Shang Moxin said that on purpose anyway! The next good show is the focus!
The one with the ugliest face at the moment was the Queen Mother.
Shang Moxin has only been favored for a few days and is already in such a state of decline? Even the wealthy Concubine An only dared to jump up and down after being born for several years! This Shang Moxin is young after all, so senseless!
"Xin'er, enjoy the show."
The emperor frowned slightly. Although his tone was a bit reproachful to Shang Moxin, his eyes showed his deep love for Shang Moxin.
The queen saw him at the side, feeling sad beyond words.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Anyway, I don't really want to see a domestic cat fighting a tiger." Shang Moxin muttered to himself. Although his voice was not high, both the Queen Mother and the Empress heard it.
The Queen Mother's expression suddenly dropped.
The Queen pretended not to hear and leaned over to personally serve the Queen Mother some tea.
Even though she was not angry, the Queen's forbearance was not inferior to that of Lin Donghe.
But the emperor pretended not to hear what he heard.
"Zhan Tao, it's time to start." The emperor ordered in a deep voice. At this moment, the queen suddenly remembered something and said thoughtfully,
"Why don't you see Linghu Manyue, the sixth-grade female officer who was just granted the title by the emperor today? I heard that two daughters of gold came to the Hou Mansion, why don't you see them both?"
After the Queen finished speaking, the Queen Mother glanced at the Queen thoughtfully, then frowned and said,
"It's so outrageous! The emperor invited everyone to watch the tiger show, but he didn't show up? Has anyone seen them today?"
Originally there was no need for the Queen Mother to ask this question.
The queen should have reported it to the emperor and the queen mother before they came in, but the rainstorm today has not stopped yet, and the queen is busy beside the queen mother again. The queen mother asked this, naturally she wanted to cover up for the queen.
of dereliction of duty.
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, Ding Juming stood up, leaned slightly, and carefully replied,
"Back to the Queen Mother, I saw a stranger entering Miss Linghu's yard this morning, and then he seemed to go to the back mountain."
"Yes, I also saw Miss Linghu walking towards the back mountain. Someone came to see her before, and Miss Linghu followed that person. As for the fourth Miss Linghu, she saw her last night.
After leaving the courtyard, I never saw the back."
Ding Juming and Song Xiaoyou sang in harmony according to the Queen's instructions, seemingly flawlessly.
"So Linghu Man Yue has disappeared since the morning?" The queen pretended not to know anything and looked at Ding Juming and Song Xiaoyou in surprise.
"How unbecoming is this? Everyone is staying at the inn in a well-behaved manner. Only the two daughters of the Marquis Mansion are running around, and they don't show up at the emperor's banquet. It's true that after becoming a sixth-grade female official, she behaves so wantonly.
Are you ready?" Concubine Jin followed the expression on the Queen Mother's face and spoke.
Originally, the Queen Mother seemed to admire Linghu Manyue, but on today's occasion, Linghu Manyue was so unruly. The Queen Mother values the most is rules, so she was naturally unhappy.
"Princess, Linghu Manyue and Linghu Qiuyu are both your nieces. Now no one is here. Alas - Princess, you are their aunt. Don't they even say hello to you as aunt?"
Naturally, Concubine Hui spoke unwillingly at this moment. Linghu Manyue had repeatedly tried to make her son unable to step down. Concubine Hui was even more restless than Concubine Jin. How could she let this opportunity go?
Linghuquan frowned.
On today's occasion, even if one and a half people are missing, it is not that important. However, because of Full Moon's status as a sixth-grade female official at the moment, it would not seem intentional if the Queen specifically mentioned Full Moon's name. After all, Full Moon's current status is different from that of the past.
.
I just didn't expect that the person who attacked the full moon today turned out to be the queen.
Linghuquan sighed softly, and immediately raised his head to look at the Queen Mother and the Queen. His eyes were calm and steady, and there was no worry or doubt as expected by the Queen.
