Jiang Wanyue's body froze. She naturally knew who Su Luoluo was referring to as the "former queen" or "Queen Yao". No one knew the situation better than her, a witness.

However, Xie Jinghong and Yao Yu'an would never let anyone spread these things, otherwise it would be bad for their reputation. How did the Su family know about it?

However, since she had just become familiar with Su Luoluo, she would not ask this question. Even if she did, Su Luoluo would certainly not be able to explain it.

She immediately suppressed her thoughts and pretended to be surprised: "But when the Queen was raised in the Ye family, I thought she was a good person."

"Hush," Su Luoluo made a gesture to silence the others, and looked around to make sure no one could hear. "I know that you and the late queen have always been on good terms, but you don't know what Queen Yao did behind my back. I saw it all the time, but I was afraid to meddle in other people's business. If it turned into a big mess, I would be the one who alienated you."

Jiang Wanyue stared, and she finally understood why Yao Yu'an always praised Xie Jinghong in front of her in her previous life. It turned out that the couple had fallen in love with each other for a long time, but they just needed to step on her to get to the top.

Jiang Wanyue looked in the direction of Yao Yu'an and smiled coldly.

As they were talking, Yao Yu'an had already approached. Everyone knelt down and bowed, and then they entered the topic of today.

Jiang Wei, on the other hand, was very attentive and tried to curry favor with Yao Yu'an. She told some jokes that made Yao Yu'an laugh.

Jiang Wanyue looked at him with her eyebrows furrowed. Yao Yu'an's eyes were glancing at her intentionally or unintentionally. If Jiang Wei teamed up with Yao Yu'an to trip her up today, it would not be a good thing...

Su Luoluo felt uneasy when she saw this, and kindly reminded Jiang Wanyue, "I think you and the Queen knew each other before. If the former Queen was still alive, she might be able to support you. But... Anyway, you have to be careful."

Su Luoluo said it very carefully, and Jiang Wanyue knew it too. Besides, she was Ye Qingwu himself, and she couldn't escape from the direct confrontation.

Soon, Jiang Wei came over with a happy face and gave Su Luoluo a perfunctory bow, as if she didn't take her seriously.

She said to Jiang Wanyue, "Sister, the Queen wants you to come over! She said she wants to reminisce with you."

A cold light flashed in Jiang Wanyue's eyes, and her expression towards Jiang Wei was not much better. She said she was going to reminisce about the past, but in fact she was going for revenge. She had no doubt that Jiang Wei was fanning the flames behind this.

I really feel sad for Jiang Wanyue for having such a vicious half-sister.

But now she is just the daughter of a minister, and since the Queen has spoken, there is no reason for her to disrespect.

Jiang Wanyue's expression returned to normal. She said to Su Luoluo, "I'll be back soon," and followed Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Wanyue's back with an imperceptible sneer.

"My daughter pays homage to the Queen."

Jiang Wanyue lowered her head and walked up to Yao Yu'an without looking around, then knelt down.

"Stand up." Yao Yu'an raised her hand slightly and said with a smile, "Come to think of it, we grew up together. I haven't seen you for a long time since I entered the palace."

"The Empress is busy in the harem. How dare a subject disturb Her Majesty so easily?" Jiang Wanyue stood up and lowered her head slightly.

Yao Yu'an seemed amused and laughed out loud: "You are more talkative than before."

In the past, Jiang Wanyue was weak and introverted in front of everyone except when she was talkative in front of Ye Qingwu. This was the first time she was so eloquent.

Yao Yu'an looked at Jiang Wanyue carefully, trying to find something different in her.

But Jiang Wanyue is still the same Jiang Wanyue. Her appearance is no different. No one has the ability to see through her soul. Yao Yu'an naturally cannot see the inner side of Jiang Wanyue. In fact, she saw Ye Qingwu die with her own eyes.

Jiang Wanyue naturally noticed Yao Yu'an's gaze, and stood still, saying generously, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Yao Yu'an smiled faintly, but her smile was not reflected in her eyes. Suddenly her expression changed and she shouted, "How dare you, Jiang Wanyue, talk back to me!"

Jiang Wanyue snorted in her heart, this moment finally came.

She knelt down tremblingly and said, "Please forgive me, Queen. I don't know what I have done wrong to displease you."

"do not know?"

When Yao Yu'an was on her way here, she heard Jiang Wanyue's half-sister accusing Jiang Wanyue word by word, and she felt that it was a little abnormal. After all, Jiang Wanyue would never do those things according to her personality. So was Jiang Wanyue hiding her incompetence?

That would really deceive Ye Qingwu as well!

She is now the mother of a country, how can she allow herself to be deceived? Moreover, she is Ye Qingwu's good friend, how can she miss this opportunity to teach Jiang Wanyue a lesson.

"If you don't know, then kneel here and reflect on yourself." Yao Yu'an admired the bright red nail polish on her hand and no longer looked at Jiang Wanyue.

Even though Jiang Wanyue was unwilling in her heart, she could not do anything to Yao Yuan in her current situation. She could only remember the grudges from her past life and this life, and make him repay them double in the future.

Jiang Wanyue concealed the hatred in her eyes and knelt straight.

When Su Luoluo saw Jiang Wanyue suddenly kneeling on the ground and not getting up, she guessed that Jiang Wanyue was punished to kneel, and she became very anxious. However, she could not rashly plead for mercy, otherwise it would be counterproductive.

Jiang Wei, who was standing by, opened her mouth wide when she saw this, and asked in surprise, "What happened to my sister? The Queen just summoned her to reminisce about the past, so how could she have angered the Queen?"

But in fact, Jiang Wei couldn't help laughing in her heart.

Su Luoluo rolled her eyes at her and didn't want to talk to her any more.

Jiang Wei was making herself look bad, and secretly despised Su Luoluo in her heart, for only trying to curry favor with Jiang Wanyue. However, Jiang Wanyue turned around and was punished by the Queen to kneel down.

The noise from Yao Yu'an's side was not very loud, and only some of the noblemen and ladies around saw it. However, everyone dared only to look from a distance and then continued with the poetry reading.

In the crowd, a man wearing a silver mask, a green gown and holding a folding fan in his hand looked at Jiang Wanyue's kneeling back from afar, feeling mixed emotions and even distracted while reciting poems.

"Sir, can you please concentrate? If not, please find someone else!"

A female voice with a hint of sarcasm sounded.

The man suddenly felt his face getting hot, and he said "sorry" and slowly walked out of the crowd.

He stood under an osmanthus tree, quietly looking at Jiang Wanyue's back. He wanted to go up and plead for her, but he hesitated because he felt inferior about his status.

While he was struggling, he saw another man approaching Jiang Wanyue.

Jiang Wanyue had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, so she had no problem kneeling for an hour or so, but her body was a little weak, and it began to wobble after just a quarter of an hour.

When she could no longer hold on, Jiang Wanyue fell to the side, but was supported by a pair of big hands.
