Chapter 104 The Eighth Princess Xia Chaoyan

Du Heng didn't know how to describe it.

She was just a little girl, about the same age as his son, but his son was still thinking about how to skip school and not do his homework every day.

Qiao Niannian said something that could determine life and death and predict the future.

It was really a bit funny.

But when he looked at the other party's calm eyes, he suddenly felt that the little girl didn't lie to him.

He exhaled.

"The little girl is right. It won't hurt for us if our people keep a closer eye on it. There can't be any mistakes in the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet this time. Go and do it!" The

subordinate didn't say anything and went straight to do it.

The Du family has been an imperial merchant since the generation of Du Heng's father. It has been twenty years since the generation of Du Heng. In these twenty years, they have some connections in the palace.

On the other hand, the nanny followed Qiao Niannian and didn't say much. As long as Qiao Niannian didn't do anything dangerous, she would follow her.

Before Qiao Niannian had walked far, the tenth princess Xia Muyan hurried over. When she saw Qiao Niannian, her eyes lit up.

"Niannian, you are really here."

The two are the same age. Xia Muyan also likes Qiao Niannian. Knowing that Qiao Niannian would pay tribute today, she said something to the queen and ran out.

The tenth princess was dressed more coquettishly today. She wore a goose yellow palace dress, a bun on her head with a gem hairpin, and no tassels, which suited her active personality.

The two of them walked together. They were obviously ten-year-old girls, but they looked like an elder sister leading a younger sister.

One was calm, the other was lively.

Xia Muyan took Qiao Niannian to the pavilion to feed the fish.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Xia Muyan couldn't help but start complaining.

"Niannian, do you know who I just saw?"

"Qiao Yueying."

"She followed her aunt into the palace to see the Imperial Grandmother. She wore an old dress and deliberately got in front of my Imperial Grandmother. Qiao Yueying also slandered you and your mother."

"She relied on the fact that she saved the Imperial Grandmother once, and wanted her to vent her anger. She deliberately made trouble for you!"

"I couldn't help it at the time, so I said a few words to her, and then ran out to tell you the news!"

"I think my Imperial Grandmother seems to be very angry. You should be careful later."

She glanced at Qiao Niannian and felt a little sympathetic. Qiao Yueying's behavior was the same as her eighth sister. She always looked like a madman, as if someone bullied her every day. It made her sick to think about it.

Qiao Niannian didn't react much to this. Whether it was Aunt Xu or Qiao Yueying, they were always very good at using their advantages to gain sympathy.

People always pity the weak.

Before Qiao Niannian could speak, a woman's faint laughter came from not far away. Xia Muyan frowned immediately when she heard the laughter.

The palace maid reminded him immediately: "It's the Eighth Princess and Qiao Yueying."

"It's really annoying. How can we meet them here? You guys go that way. I'll go to the small road with Niannian."

Xia Muyan knew that her sister was walking this way on purpose. She probably saw her palace maid here.

The Eighth Princess is the daughter of Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian gave birth to two children, the eldest prince and the Eighth Princess. Concubine Xian was the first woman to follow the emperor, so she had a special status in the emperor's heart.

The eldest prince is physically disabled and has no chance of becoming the emperor. His father arranged for him to go to his fiefdom early on. He did not return for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year due to poor health.

Only the eighth princess is left by Concubine Xian's side, and she is also in poor health.

His father felt sorry for Concubine Xian's two children, and among all the children, the most beloved daughter was the eighth princess.

Outsiders only knew that the eighth princess was in poor health, and only Xia Muyan knew that Xia Chaoyan's weakness was actually pretended.

She deeply remembered that when she was a child, she liked a Persian cat, with pure white hair, blue eyes, and a size only slightly larger than the palm of her hand. The mother cat died just one month after it was born. Xia Muyan felt sorry for it and brought the cat back.

Later, she took good care of the cat for a month. The little guy grew a little bigger and became a little braver. He kept hiding from people when he first came back, but later he got familiar with the place and could walk around in the yard.

However, the cat liked to sleep on her legs the most, and its little snoring was particularly cute.

But one day, her cat suddenly disappeared.

She panicked and finally found it by the pond.

It was Xia Chaoyan who grabbed her cat and threw it into the pond. She was so angry that she ran out to question her.

Xia Chaoyan didn't take it seriously at all. She watched the cat struggling in the water and was about to call for help, but Xia Chaoyan controlled her and made her watch the cat drown in the pond.

Later, the palace maids came, and her father also came.

She cried and complained.

Xia Chaoyan's face turned pale, and she showed her hand that was scratched by the cat. She said that she was just too scared, and she threw the cat down because it hurt her.

As for controlling Xia Muyan and not letting her leave, there was no such thing at all.

The emperor believed Xia Chaoyan's words, and not only did he not scold her, he also felt distressed for a long time.

From then on, Xia Muyan hated Xia Chaoyan, but every time Xia Chaoyan cried, the emperor would say nothing, and in the end she would be the one who was punished.

So Xia Muyan didn't want to see Xia Chaoyan at all.

She pulled Qiao Niannian into the path next to her.

Going straight along the path, it is the direction of the cold palace, so not many people walk on this path, and even the plants around it grow taller.

Even though Qiao Niannian was half a head taller than Xia Muyan, her body was completely hidden by the plants beside her.

Xia Muyan did not speak because he was angry, but Qiao Niannian remembered the plot in the novel.

This eighth princess was an important figure in the third prince's ascension to the throne.

After Xia Muyan became a villain, he used the connections left by Xia Rongyu to organize troops and fought the third prince to the end.

When Xia Muyan and the third prince reached the moment of the decisive battle, Xia Muyan actually suppressed the third prince. At the most critical moment of life and death for the two, the weapons in their hands pointed at each other.

At this time, the Eighth Princess ran out and blocked the fatal blow for the Third Prince. Xia Muyan had no one to block her and was killed by the Third Prince.

After the Third Prince ascended the throne, the Eighth Princess not only became the only princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, but was also favored by the Third Prince, given a princess's mansion and fiefdom, and allowed to choose her own son-in-law.

In the book, Xia Muyan was killed because of the Eighth Princess. In reality, this Eighth Princess was also Xia Muyan's death.

Although it had not been revealed in his face just now, the moment the Eighth Princess appeared, Xia Muyan's face was also affected.

This Eighth Princess is a little weird.

Thinking of this, Qiao Niannian took out a talisman from her body, folded it into a triangle, and handed it to Xia Muyan.

"Tenth Princess, this is a talisman. Wearing it can keep you safe."

The Great Xia Dynasty believed in metaphysics, and Xia Muyan was not opposed to these things. Seeing Qiao Niannian giving her a gift, she happily accepted it even though it was a talisman she had asked for.

"This is the first time I've received a gift!"

The moment Xia Muyan took the talisman, she felt calm, and even the irritation she had just heard from Xia Chaoyan faded.

She stared at the talisman, a little shocked: "This talisman is amazing."
