Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 187

[Chapter 187 Temptation]

Zhou Ruihua, the wife of Li Manian, the envoy of salt transportation, was born in the Zhou family, the minister of war. In the end, it was the emperor who decided to marry Zhou Ruihua to Li Manian, but the royal marriage did not improve the relationship between the two families.

Mrs. Zhou said softly, “I was so determined to take a seat in the Buxian Building, but I didn’t make an appointment in advance. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find a seat, so I took the liberty to invite Miss Mu. Can you embarrass Miss?”

“There have always been some seats reserved in the Buxian Building for the purpose of entertaining distinguished guests. Madam is naturally a distinguished guest among the distinguished guests. If Madam does not dislike it, I will make a pot of tea for you personally, how about a taste?”

“That’s naturally good. In Kyoto, I heard about the girl’s excellent tea-making skills, and even Eunuch Xu, the general manager of the palace, was full of praise. After hearing about it, the emperor said that if there is a chance, he will definitely recruit the girl into the palace. Let’s take a look. Look at the amazing tea brewing techniques.”

Mu Yunyao looked surprised: “Did the emperor really say that? Then I will definitely practice the tea-making skills after I go back. If I am fortunate enough to be summoned by the emperor, I will definitely show it.”

Mu Yunyao got into the carriage, followed Madam Zhou all the way to Jinxiu Garden, and led people to Peony Fantine to be seated.

Steward Qin greeted him, and led someone to arrange the Yiying tea set.

Mu Yunyao personally brewed the tea and brought it to Mrs. Zhou.

Seeing the wonders of the mountains and rivers transformed from the tea, Mrs. Zhou praised it for a long time: “In the early years, I heard that Jiangnan Tea Lady’s craftsmanship was unparalleled in the world, and she could transform the color of landscapes in a small tea cup. I thought it was just bragging, but after seeing Miss Mu’s craftsmanship today, I realized that there is someone outside and what they said is true.”

“Madam is wrong.” Mu Yunyao’s face was slightly red, and her face was a little embarrassed, but there was a hint of pride and joy in her eyes.

Mrs. Zhou took her look in her eyes, and the smile in her eyes thickened. After drinking tea, she strolled around the Jinxiu Garden for a while, and then left aloud.

Mu Yunyao kept sending people outside the garden, waiting for her to get on the carriage, then turned around and went back.

Steward Qin greeted him with a solemn expression: “Girl, is that the wife of Li Manian, the newly appointed salt transport envoy, right?”

Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded: “Exactly, I met at the full moon banquet in Cao Mansion, and just now specially invited me over, saying that I wanted to come to Buxianlou for tea, so I brought people over.”

Steward Qin smiled: “What do you think of this person, girl?”

Mu Yunyao curled her lips into a smile: “Be gentle and approachable, even if you don’t get along for a long time, it’s easy to make people feel good.”

Hearing this, Steward Qin was relieved: “It’s still the girl who can see clearly. I think the lady should be in a hurry. The girl should go home quickly.”

“Okay, then I’ll say goodbye first.”

Yu Yi was a little puzzled. After Mu Yunyao left, he asked Steward Qin: “Steward Qin, what did you mean by what you just said to Miss Mu? Why didn’t I hear the mystery?”

“There is no mystery in the first place, how can you hear it?”

“Then is this Mrs. Zhou good or bad?”

Steward Qin shook his head. This person’s mind would not turn at all: “What is the identity of Mrs. Zhou? What is the identity of Miss Mu?”

“Mrs. Zhou is Li Mu Nian’s wife, born in the Zhou family in the capital, and is the daughter of the current Minister of War, and she was married by the emperor himself, so her status is naturally unusual. Although Miss Mu is now the righteous daughter of Lord Cao, if you really want to talk about it, This level of identity is very shallow, I am afraid that it will not be seen by Mrs. Zhou.”

Manager Qin nodded: “Didn’t you already tell the key points?”

“The key point?” Yu Yi thought about it carefully, and then suddenly froze, “Yeah, logically speaking, even if Mrs. Zhou is approachable, she doesn’t have such a good attitude towards Miss Mu! And according to what I heard, This Mrs. Zhou is calm on the outside and extremely arrogant on the inside, and even said something that was disdainful of being a royal wife…”

“It seems that the wind is going to blow in Jingling City again,” Manager Qin said after thinking for a while, “You have been staring at people recently. The Li family belongs to the line of the eldest prince, and our stall is still there. If it is not rolled out, the First Prince must not be aware of it, or else all previous efforts will be lost.”

Li Qingzhou’s eldest daughter has been in the palace for many years, and now she is in the position of a noble concubine. She has raised the emperor’s eldest son and is highly respected by the emperor. Now, the eldest prince has married the daughter of a side branch of the Li family, and this relationship is even more solid. These two In 2010, he has always supported the eldest prince to develop his party members, which is an important reason why the emperor began to reduce Li Qingzhou’s authority.

“Yes.”

When Mu Yunyao returned home, Su Qing looked at her and breathed a sigh of relief: “Yao’er, what did that Mrs. Zhou want you to do?”

“I think it’s Niyunfang and Buxianlou who are too popular. She has the heart to test one or two. I accompany me to act in a play.”

“What effect does that have?”

“Don’t worry, mother, Mrs. Zhou was born into a noble family and married into a wealthy family like the Li family. Naturally, she disdains to embarrass me, not to mention the small Niyunfang and Buxianlou, which are giants like Caiyue Pavilion. In their eyes, it’s just a businessman.”

“Alas, after Lord Cao and Madam Jin left, I really feel that I have lost some support in my heart.” Su Qing couldn’t help but sighed, her temperament was already stable, she finally felt that everything was in order, but suddenly there were troubles, really Know what will happen next?

Mu Yunyao took Su Qing’s arm and sat beside the bed: “Mother, don’t worry, adoptive father and adoptive mother can go to Kyoto, so when we return to Su’s house, we can meet them in Kyoto.”

“Yao’er, I also heard Steward Qin say something about Mr. Li. He has a deep background and is not something we can afford. We should try to stay as far away as possible in the future.”

“Mother, I don’t want to have anything to do with him, but it seems impossible now. It’s that Mrs. Zhou who sees me today, I’m afraid she’s testing my personality and character, maybe there will be some other purpose. .” Mu Yunyao thought about it for a while, but decided to tell Su Qing the truth, she would come into contact with some things sooner or later, and if she knew something earlier, she would have been prepared earlier.

“The Li family has a great career, and Mr. Li’s father is the prime minister. We are just ordinary people. How can we gain their insight?”

“My mother knows the identity of Master Li’s father, and if you want to come, you also know that he is the grandfather of the first prince. Niyunfang and Buxianlou have become famous in Jiangnan. If they can be used by the first prince, it will be good.”

Su Qing couldn’t help being nervous: “Aren’t we very dangerous in this way?”

“Mother, don’t worry too much. Since you want to use us, you will naturally use some means to win over us. Besides, we are hanging the golden plaque given by the emperor himself, and they will not be too much. We should only look at it. Just don’t understand.”

Without King Yue, their situation would indeed be much more difficult, but the situation is different now. If they can successfully intervene in the salt administration as planned, King Yue’s power will develop rapidly. With such a stable backer, they will come again. She is not afraid of several first princes!
