After the competition, Wu Qingyue was the winner.
The two moves she just performed were somewhat exaggerated, but she unexpectedly won.
She knew that they were all doing this for her husband's sake.
"Sister-in-law, this treasure is yours." Zhou Yurou said with a smile.
Wu Qingyue knew that Zhou Yurou, who had always maintained a "smiling persona", must have a stiff face.
"Thank you, Queen, for your reluctance to part with me."
"Well, it should be."
Zhou Yurou felt sick to her heart. She was obviously the most honorable mistress of the Xiao Kingdom, but now she had fallen to the point of having to look at the face of a servant!
What a coward she is as a queen!
Wu Qingyue left early before the Hundred Flowers Banquet was over.
When she returned to the side hall, Xiao Shiyi had unexpectedly returned.
"Why did you come back so early today?"
He came back very late the past few days.
Xiao Shiyi raised his eyes to look at her, with a trace of fatigue in his eyes, "There is nothing to do in the morning today, so I will go back early."
Wu Qingyue walked forward and gently rubbed his shoulders. "Today at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, I won the prize, thanks to your prestige."
Xiao Shiyi held her hand and said, "You are so smart, what does it have to do with me?"
At this moment, there was a noise outside.
Xiao Shiyi frowned, "What happened?"
A maid came in hurriedly and said, "Your Highness, Princess, someone from the Queen's side said that the Queen has lost something and needs to search the palace."
Wu Qingyue was shocked, she knew that Zhou Yurou must be deliberately looking for trouble.
Xiao Shiyi snorted coldly, "She wanted to search the palace, but she actually came here to search the palace. She's really good."
"this......"
The maid was a little embarrassed.
Xiao Shiyi stood up, his eyes icy, "I want to see what she can find out."
Wu Qingyue also stood up. She knew that Zhou Yurou definitely had bad intentions.
Soon, the queen's men entered the side hall.
The leading nanny had an arrogant look on her face as she directed her subordinates to search everywhere, while the two sat aside and watched coldly.
Suddenly, the nanny seemed to have discovered something. She took out a pearl hairpin from the treasure box that Wu Qingyue brought back and shouted, "I found it! This is the hairpin that the queen lost."
Wu Qingyue narrowed her eyes——
It turns out that she had planned this.
She sneered, "Madam, you're so bold! You dare to frame me based on just a pearl hairpin? If I were to say, the Empress handed this box to me personally, then this pearl hairpin must have been put in there by her as well."
The maid was not afraid at all. "Princess, please do not quibble. This pearl hairpin is the Empress's favorite. It is the only one of its kind in the entire palace. The Empress loves it very much. The Empress has already placed the priceless Guanyin jade in the brocade box. This pearl hairpin was definitely not hers! But now I find it here with you. What else do you have to say?"
Xiao Shiyi spoke slowly at this time, "Madam, I'm afraid you must have seen it wrong. This pearl hairpin is clearly a gift from the prince to his beloved wife. How can it be said that she is the queen?"
When the nanny heard this, her expression changed slightly, but she still said stubbornly, "Your Highness, please do not protect the princess. This pearl hairpin is definitely the queen's."
Xiao Shiyi sneered and pulled out a jade pendant from his bosom. "Madam, do you recognize this? This was given to me personally by the late emperor. Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing the emperor. I said this pearl hairpin was given by me, but is that not enough to counter your empty words?"
When the nanny saw the jade pendant, her legs went weak and she knelt down.
Wu Qingyue took the opportunity to say, "Today's incident was clearly someone deliberately framing me. If this matter were to get out, it would be detrimental to the reputation of the royal family. Madam, you should take your people and leave quickly. Don't make trouble here any longer."
The nanny had no choice but to agree and left with everyone in shame.
After the group of people left, Wu Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief. She pretended to be playful and said, "Thank you, husband, for helping me out just now. Otherwise, I would have had to spend more time talking to you."
Xiao Shiyi gently held her hand and said, "You and I are husband and wife, my lady, there is no need to be polite."
Wu Qingyue's heart moved and a blush appeared on her face.
"I'm afraid Zhou Yurou won't let this go after what happened today. You better be careful next time."
"Yes, don't worry, husband."
As for Zhou Yurou, she was so angry that her stomach hurt because she failed to "catch" Wu Qingyue.
She clutched her stomach, her eyes sinister, "Hmph, Wu Qingyue, you're lucky this time."
The man beside him whispered, "Mother, we still have to think long-term. The emperor's uncle protects that woman very well!"
Zhou Yurou gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's find a time when Xiao Shiyi is not around."
A few days later, Wu Qingyue had just reached the corner of a palace when she was stopped by several masked men.
Wu Qingyue was secretly shocked, but remained calm. "Who are you? How dare you commit murder in the palace in broad daylight?"
One of the masked men snorted coldly, "Hmph, stop talking nonsense. Today is the day you die."
As he spoke, he drew his sword and rushed towards her.
Wu Qingyue didn't dare to be careless, but in the end, two fists were no match for four hands...
Just as the knife was about to stab her, a hidden weapon suddenly flew over and successfully knocked the knife out of the assassin's hand.
"How dare you touch my princess?"
An angry voice sounded from behind them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassins quickly ran away with their heads in their arms.
"Catch them all!" Xiao Shiyi ordered.
"Yes!"
Xiao Shiyi hugged the woman in fear and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I've already driven away the assassin!"
"I'm not afraid."
"Hmm? So bold?"
"Because I know you will come to save me."
Xiao Shiyi was moved after hearing this...
"Yue'er, do you trust your husband so much?"
"That's natural."
"Yes, my dear Yue'er, you are right to believe in your husband."
After this incident, Xiao Shiyi was worried that Zhou Yurou might have other tricks up her sleeve, so he sent Leng Feng to protect her.
Seeing that the assassination plan had failed, Zhou Yurou was so angry that she stamped her feet, and she also knew that it would be difficult to carry out the plan again in a short time.
"Don't panic, mother. We still have a chance."
The man's words soothed her irritable heart.
"hope so."
Side hall.
Wu Qingyue leaned against the window, looking at the world outside covered in silver, and fell into deep thought.
In the past two days, there have always been some people who are "ready to make some small moves" behind her back. She was extremely careful and barely avoided being tricked.
She was lost in thought when someone else came.
"Hey, what is the imperial sister-in-law thinking about? She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even hear me knocking on the door." Xiao Shiyu walked in dissatisfied.
"Fourteen, you're here."
"Ah."
Xiao Shiyu came over and said excitedly, "Sister-in-law, I have completed the homework that the teacher assigned last time! Can I ask my brother for a reward now?"
"finished?"
"Uh-huh."
Fourteen is indeed very talented.
"Of course, the Empress's sister-in-law will definitely do what she promised you."
