Chapter 494 Even you are wary of me
When Yufei left Huiyan Pavilion, her expression wasn't very pleasant, but at least she wasn't angry.
She instructed Granny Ji to dismiss everyone, and even Lu Beimo was not allowed to approach, leaving only Chu Yueli in front of her.
"Your Majesty, I know it is improper for the Prince to kneel before my grandfather. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not let him do such a thing again."
"I'm not blaming you, nor am I angry." Consort Yu has a somewhat江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) feel to her. In private, she rarely refers to herself as "this palace lady," which shows that she is quite different from ordinary women in the inner palace.
Consort Yu sighed and said, "But, Ali, you must understand that we are still in the capital, not in a place like the Northern Frontier. The people in the capital are not as simple and honest as those in the Northern Frontier. There are spies and traps everywhere in the capital."
“If someone with ulterior motives were to tell the Emperor about this, letting him know that his son had knelt before a subject, he would be displeased. If the Emperor is displeased, at most he would strip his son of his power, punish him, or reprimand him. But he might very well execute the person who made his son kneel, whom he sees as an insult to the imperial dignity.”
"Your Majesty! My grandfather is very old, he..." Chu Yueli quickly tried to kneel down.
Consort Yu stopped her from kneeling down and helped her up: "Ali, you are the person Mo'er has been thinking about for many years. In my eyes, you are already my daughter-in-law and my family."
Seeing Chu Yueli like this, Consort Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be afraid. Actually, to us, you are family. The Emperor... is not."
"Your Majesty!" Chu Yue's heart tightened, and she subconsciously paid attention to the movements around her.
However, with the brothers Lu Beimo and Lu Yunfei present, as well as her elder brother, it was impossible for anyone with ulterior motives to overhear her conversation with Yu Fei at this time.
But those words were indeed very disrespectful.
"So, actually, Mo'er and I are the same kind of people. Of course I'm not angry. Just don't do anything reckless in the future." Her son, even when he was still a teenager, was often not by her side.
She couldn't control Lu Beimo; her son was all grown up, and he wouldn't listen to her discipline.
"I just hope that you'll keep an eye on him from now on," Consort Yu said with a smile.
Chu Yueli breathed a sigh of relief.
She was not familiar with Consort Yu after all.
Consort Yu didn't blame her for misunderstanding her, and still smiled calmly: "It seems that the women in the palace have left many unpleasant memories in A-Li's heart. Don't panic, spend more time with me in the future, and perhaps you will be less wary of me."
"Ah Li wouldn't dare!" Chu Yue Li pursed her lips.
Consort Yu smiled and shook her head: "You see, your words are full of wariness towards me."
Chu Yueli wanted to explain, but Yu Fei smiled and said, "Time will tell. We'll have plenty of time to get to know each other. Don't rush."
She held Chu Yueli's hand and looked at the figure in the distance.
If I don't let him come over, he'll think I'm bullying his sweetheart.
Sure enough, seeing them looking at him, Lu Beimo strode over without thinking.
"Mother, everything that happened today has nothing to do with Ali. Your son only..."
"You're even more wary of me than your future wife." Yu Fei rolled her eyes at him, really wanting to knock some sense into his head and see how it was shaped.
“I am your mother!” she sneered.
Lu Beimo said expressionlessly, "I understand!"
