Chapter 653: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 100
Nie Xirui ran very fast with the kite and soon flew the kite into the sky.
There were all kinds of kites floating in the sky dotted with stars. Her kite flew the highest. Nie Xirui was quite proud. Her round face was rosy and her eyes were curved with a smile.
Cheng Xiaoyue cursed Nie Xirui in her heart, then gently wiped her face with a handkerchief, praising her: "Xirui is amazing, no wonder even the Queen Mother likes you, I don't have this blessing, I only saw the Queen Mother from afar at the palace banquet."
"If I were to meet the Queen Mother alone, I would be so scared that I wouldn't dare to say anything."
Nie Xirui smiled and said, "You are being modest again. You are smarter and prettier than me. If you meet the Queen Mother, she will definitely like you too."
Cheng Xiaoyue showed a longing look, "Tell me, what did the Queen Mother ask? How did you answer? What kind of women does the Queen Mother like?"
She will marry Prince Rui in the future. Su Ziyan's family background is too low, and she made a big mistake in the northern border. When Prince Rui becomes the crown prince, Concubine Xiao intends for her to be the crown princess. She wants to find out the Queen Mother's preferences so that she can please her in the future.
Nie Xirui said blankly, "They didn't ask me anything. They just asked me what kind of clothes and jewelry I liked, what I liked to eat and what I liked to play. I told them everything truthfully. I was a little nervous at first, but then I felt that the empress dowager was similar to my grandmother at home, so I wasn't afraid at all."
Cheng Xiaoyue was still unwilling to give up, and asked: "How could the Queen Mother care about these trivial matters? Didn't she ask anything else?"
Nie Xirui slapped her head, "Oh, I remember now. The envoys from the northern countries have been in the capital for almost a month. They all submitted to our Chen Kingdom. The talks are almost over and it's time to hold a celebration. The Queen Mother and the Empress were discussing the celebration and asked me this question."
"Of course I said yes! This battle was fought so well, the whole country of Chen is celebrating, everyone is happy! Prince Yi is very powerful, but he has been fighting for so many years. I think General Ji is more powerful. This is her first time to the northern border, and she has achieved such a great military feat..."
"Oops! I was just busy telling you that my kite is going to fall down!"
Nie Xirui went after the kite. Cheng Xiaoyue stood there, staring at Nie Xirui's back, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes!
Nie Xirui's praise for Prince Yi was full of praise, which also represented the Nie family's opinion. As expected, the Nie family had become friends with Prince Yi.
The Fifth Prince poisoned Prince Rui in the first place, but Prince Rui was lucky and safe, while Prince Yi was poisoned. As a result, the Fifth Prince was imprisoned for many years. If Prince Yi gains power, he will definitely not let the Fifth Prince go.
The Nie family was decisive. They were going to abandon the Fifth Prince, who was related to them by blood, and turn to Prince Yi.
In this case, she couldn't let Nie Xirui go!
Cheng Xiaoyue observed the situation around her. Nie Xirui ran fast, there were no other female relatives here, and there was a stream not far away, which gave her the perfect opportunity to take action.
Cheng Xiaoyue smiled and shouted to Nie Xirui, "Wait for me, I'll help you!"
"Don't look around, focus on the kite. Move it a little to the left. Use a little more force and it will be back soon. Reel in the string. Oh... Pay more attention, the kite is about to get hung on the tree..."
A gust of wind blew, and the butterfly kite made a whirring sound. Nie Xirui's entire attention was on the kite, and she paid no attention to the road beneath her feet.
She was getting closer and closer to the stream. There was a lot of moss on the stream side and the shore was slippery. She would fall in if she was not careful.
Cheng Xiaoyue said loudly: "Hold on a little longer, and you will be able to fly higher soon! Go back a little, let out a little more string, yes, keep going back, don't be afraid, I'll be watching you..."
"Ah!" Nie Xirui slipped and fell backwards, and the kite fell out of her hand.
Cheng Xiaoyue was secretly happy in her heart, but on the surface she screamed and anxiously tried to grab Nie Xirui's hand, but she definitely failed.
A red shadow flashed by, grabbed Nie Xirui's hand tightly, and then pulled her into his arms.
Ji Yunhuan tapped her toes lightly, borrowed a little strength from a rock, and flew into the air holding Nie Xirui. The two figures, one red and one blue, drew a semicircle in the air and landed steadily on a flat grassy field.
"Ah! Ahhh!!" Nie Xirui was still screaming, but this time it was not out of fear, but excitement.
"Is this the legendary Qinggong? So amazing! Sister Yun Huan, do you still remember me? I'm Xiao Rui! You've become a great general. The Duke's Mansion is indeed full of peerless masters! I still want to fly, I still want to fly!"
Ji Yunhuan had poor health when she was a child, so she cherished the days when she could move around even more. As long as she could get up, she didn't like to stay in the house.
In addition to the apprentices trained by their father, the Duke's Mansion also has many little girls invited by their mother. It is always so lively.
Nie Xirui came very diligently and insisted on learning martial arts, but she couldn't bear the hardship and gave up after less than three days of trying the novelty.
Ji Yunhuan touched Nie Xirui's head and said with a smile, "You wish you could come here every day, of course I remember. I have something important to do today, so I can't play with you. Come to the Duke's Mansion another day, and I'll take you to play to your heart's content."
Nie Xirui reluctantly let go of Ji Yunhuan, "Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I know you want to protect Qingchuan Garden, so I won't bother you. Thank you for what you did just now, otherwise I would have definitely fallen down, and not only would I have made a fool of myself, but I would have definitely been nagged to death by my mother."
Cheng Xiaoyue also followed. She hated Ji Yunhuan from the bottom of her heart!
In the past, she felt that Ji Yunhuan had taken the position of Princess Rui, and she could only be a concubine when she entered the palace. Moreover, because Ji Yunhuan was jealous, Prince Rui had never accepted her into the palace.
Now that Ji Yunhuan has become an abandoned woman and Su Ziyan is no longer a concern, she has a better chance of becoming the Crown Princess.
So what if Ji Yunhuan became a general? It was just a moment of glory. A woman went to the battlefield and mixed with men. His Majesty favored her and made her a general. Who would marry such a woman in the future? Ji Yunhuan was destined to be miserable in her next life!
Cheng Xiaoyue looked anxious and bowed slightly to Ji Yunhuan, "Thank you Miss Ji. If Miss Ji hadn't happened to pass by, I really don't know what to do."
"Xirui, you are too careless. I told you to watch your step, but you backed away and almost fell in. I was really scared! If you fell into the water, I would be the only one with you here. People who don't know the situation would definitely suspect me. I can't swim, so I can't save you."
"People's words are scary. Even if you are safe and sound in the end, there will still be people who talk about you. But I really didn't do anything."
Nie Xirui scratched her head. She was simple-minded and thought that she was just careless. She consoled him thoughtfully, "Okay, I'm fine. Don't cry. You didn't push me. It's none of your business."
"You are too timid. If anyone talks about you, I will explain it for you."
Cheng Xiaoyue stopped crying, took Nie Xirui's hand and sighed: "Xirui, you are such a nice person. It's so great to be your friend!"
