Chapter 127 I'll Go Get Her Back
Qi Wuyou secretly made up her mind. She had followed the Queen Mother for so long to learn about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Wasn't it just for the purpose of being able to take charge on her own?
Xuan Yelan nodded, "I found a helper for you."
Qi Wuyou quickly grabbed Xuan Yelan's arm, with an expectant look on his face, "Who is it?" It would be great to have someone to help.
Xuan Yelan clapped his hands, and the door outside opened. A woman in her thirties came in. She had kind eyes and a gentle look. The fine lines at the corners of her eyes did not hide her beauty. Her facial features were delicate, and her smile was gentle, like a mother.
The man smiled and bowed. Qi Wuyou was fascinated for a moment, and after a while he said, "No need to bow."
Xuan Yelan introduced with a smile, "This is the wife of Duke Dingguo, and also my aunt."
"Aunt?" Qi Wuyou was confused. So this beautiful woman in front of him who still had charm was the empress dowager's sister?
Xuan Yelan nodded, Qi Wuyou rubbed his hands, lowered his head and called out in a low voice, "Aunt."
Madam Li didn't care. Instead, she smiled and said, "The little queen has never seen me before. Are you afraid of strangers?"
Originally, Queen 75 was a little nervous, as she really didn't know how to get along with her elders. But now it seems that Mrs. Li is approachable and should be easy to get along with.
Qi Wuyou raised his head and said, "No, aunt, I'm not shy. Besides, I'm not a child anymore. I'm fourteen years old."
These words made Madam Li laugh. "Okay, okay, you are not a child. It's your aunt's fault."
Xuan Yelan still had government affairs to attend to. Seeing that his wife and aunt were getting along well, Xuan Yelan felt relieved. He said goodbye and left.
As soon as Xuan Yelan left, Qi Wuyou's courage, which had just been mustered up, completely deflated again.
It was not until Mei Xue came over and invited Madam Li to take a seat that Qi Wuyou finally reacted.
Qi Wuyou hurriedly asked Madam Li to sit down and served her a pot of tea, then they started chatting casually.
Mrs. Li was just as imagined, an approachable person. There was no pressure at all talking to her. Qi Wuyou also slowly relaxed and the two of them talked and laughed.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Qi Wuyou wanted to invite Madam Li to have dinner, and Madam Li naturally did not refuse.
It was not until Mrs. Li was washing her hands that the thing on her wrist caught Qi Wuyou's attention.
Qi Wuyou felt that the bracelet on Madam Li's hand looked familiar, but Madam Li's sleeves had been covering it, so Qi Wuyou couldn't see it clearly and couldn't be sure.
But now Qi Wuyou had looked at the whole thing, and the bracelet looked more and more familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Madam Li noticed Qi Wuyou's gaze and also looked at her bracelet. She asked Qi Wuyou suspiciously, "Madam, is there something wrong with this bracelet?"
Qi Wuyou came to his senses after hearing that and quickly turned his head away. It was really rude to stare at someone's wrist just now.
Qi Wuyou shook his head and smiled, "Nothing, I just think Madam Li's bracelet looks familiar."
Qi Wuyou then added, "But there are so many similar bracelets in the world. I have seen the same ones before, so it is normal. Madam Li, don't take it to heart."
Qi Wuyou didn't notice that Madam Li's expression suddenly changed after hearing her words. She silently clenched her wrist and stroked the bracelet on her hand.
The two of them had similar tastes and enjoyed the meal very much. Qi Wuyou didn't care about that little episode.
Since Qi Wuyou wanted to be a good queen, her situation was special and the State of Qi had never taught her how to be a good queen, so Qi Wuyou had a lot to learn.
Originally, these should have been taught by the Queen Mother, but now the Queen Mother was having fun, so Xuan Yelan asked Madam Li to teach.
Qi Wuyou was still thinking of letting Madam Li live in the palace, but Madam Li said that she had to go back home for something, so Qi Wuyou had to let Madam Li go back reluctantly.
Qi Wuyou finally had an elder by her side who could talk to her, and what's more, Madam Li was so kind that Qi Wuyou really didn't want to be separated from her.
Before leaving, Madam Li suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, where did you see my bracelet before?"
Qi Wuyou was stunned, but still said honestly, "I don't remember, but I have indeed seen it. However, the bracelet I saw is a little different from yours."
Madam Li was very excited when she heard this. She eagerly held Qi Wuyou's hand and asked expectantly, "What's the difference?"
Qi Wuyou didn't understand, but he still tried to think about it, "I remember that bracelet I saw...it seemed...it had a blue gem inlaid on it."
Yes, it is blue, but the bracelet on Mrs. Li’s hand is not inlaid with gems.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li's eyes widened, her eye sockets immediately turned red, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
As if realizing that she had lost her composure, Madam Li quickly touched the corners of her eyes, holding back her tears, and said to Qi Wuyou with a smile, "Can your Majesty please think about this carefully? That bracelet... is very important to me."
Seeing Mrs. Li's appearance, Qi Wuyou nodded seriously.
Mrs. Li also nodded, thanked her, bowed and left.
"Meixue," Qi Wuyou asked, "Have you ever seen her?"
Mei Xue nodded, "I have felt it is familiar. Madam Madam mentioned a jade bracelet inlaid with sapphires. I have also seen it, but I can't remember it."
Qi Wuyou was confused, "What do you think the bracelet has to do with my aunt?"
Mei Xue shook her head and guessed, "Maybe it's a relic of a very important person?"
Even though Madam Li was the Queen Mother's sister, she followed the rules and never allowed the carriage into the palace.
Now, Madam Li was walking hurriedly on the palace road, wishing she could fly out of the palace immediately.
She was so anxious that she didn't even look at her feet and sprained her ankle and was about to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, someone supported her from behind. When she looked up, it turned out to be her elder brother, the great general Lu Yuxiu.
Lu Yuxiu carefully helped Madam Li up. "What's wrong? You're so old but still so irritable? I called you so many times but you didn't hear me. Are you going to..."
Before Lu Yuxiu could finish his words, he suddenly met Madam Li's red eyes. Lu Yuxiu's mind went blank and he felt his blood rushing up.
"Did you get angry with the little queen? How dare an outsider like her bully you? Who gave her the power? Give her what she is capable of, and I will avenge you."
Madam Li quickly wiped away her tears and pulled her elder brother to settle the score with Qi Wuyou.
"No, brother, listen to me, it has nothing to do with the little queen, she is a good child." Her elder brother is good in every way except that he is impulsive. Yet he dares to say that she is impulsive.
Madam Li tightly grasped Lu Yuxiu's arm, her voice trembling, "Brother, there is news."
When Lu Yuxiu saw his sister's expression and heard her say these words, there was nothing he couldn't understand.
He quickly asked, "Where is she? I'll go get her back."
Madam Li shook her head. "I don't know. The little queen doesn't remember. She must have only met her once, so her memory is not very clear."
Then she raised the bracelet in her hand and said, "She must have seen that man. She said that there was a sapphire on the bracelet she saw."
