Chapter 402 The Queen's Invitation (4)
At this moment, they suddenly heard that the palace lady Bai wanted to see the little bitch Mu Caiwei, and the palace lady Bai was the spokesperson of the queen. Several ladies racked their brains but could not think of any connection between the queen and the little bitch, and they were all puzzled.
Some people still hoped that the little bitch had done something wrong and was punished by the queen, but then they thought that she was now living in the mansion of the Duke of Anguo. If she was punished, the mansion of the Duke of Anguo would also be regarded as the same as the same, and would not end up well. Thinking of this, the sinister curse in her heart was dispelled a little.
Huamei led the mother and daughter to the Ouxiang Pavilion, stopped Du Shi outside, and let Caiwei go in alone with her.
Although Du Shi was worried, she did not dare to disobey, so she put her ears close to the door and listened to the movement inside. If something bad was really done inside to her daughter, she would go in to protect her daughter even if she risked her life.
Caiwei followed Huamei into the flower hall and saw the Shanggong Bai sitting at the top. The woman had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were mysterious. She was a woman who had been immersed in the treacherous palace for many years, otherwise she would not have cultivated such a face.
Although she was very disdainful of the Shanggong Lord in her heart, she still had to do the surface work. After all, she still had to make a living in the capital, right? Offending a person with great power would definitely not be good for her future development.
So, she stepped forward a few steps, bowed humbly, and said: "Hello, Shanggong Lord, how are you!"
Shanggong Bai slowly put down the teacup, did not ask her to get up immediately, but smiled and looked at her silently for a while, then slowly said: "Get up!"
"Yes!"
Caiwei stood up straight, lowered her eyebrows and stood in the middle of the ground, without saying a word.
Bai Shang Gong smiled and said, "What a beautiful lady! Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a rare heart of glass!"
Cai Wei said modestly, "Why do you say that, Shang Gong? What virtue and ability do I have to deserve such praise from Shang Gong?"
The ladies in the flower hall were stunned when they heard what Bai Shang Gong said. They didn't expect that Bai Shang Gong would come to praise this little bitch. Although they were indignant, Cai Wei lived in their house after all and had a close connection with them. If Cai Wei got the Queen's favor, the Anguo Mansion would surely rise with it. Therefore, they suppressed their jealousy and gradually became happy.
Old Lady Wang said politely: "Ms. Shang Gong praised her. She is just a little girl. How could she deserve such praise?"
Shang Gong Bai smiled and said: "I am not praising her at all. It was just a coincidence. Yesterday, the housekeeper of the princess's mansion accidentally ate the barbecue skewers from Miss Mu's restaurant and thought they were delicious. He took some back to offer to the princess. The princess liked them very much and sent some to the palace. Unexpectedly, the barbecue skewers suited the queen's appetite. Last night, the queen ate half a bowl of rice more than usual!"
"Later, the imperial chef I went to ask about the recipe of the kebab, and found out that the delicious dish was created by Miss Mu. Miss Mu was very smart at a young age, and the Empress liked her very much. She specially ordered to invite Miss Mu to attend the Shangsi Festival banquet held in the palace four days later. Here is the invitation. Please prepare well. Four days later, you will meet the Empress in the Imperial Garden. "
After saying that, she raised her hand lightly, and a maidservant behind her immediately took out a gold-stamped invitation and handed it to another maidservant, who then handed it to Caiwei.
