Chapter 109 Famous in the Capital
Huo is a stubborn person.
She is proud to know that the expenses of Aunt Xu's room were deducted before the palace banquet. Aunt Xu will definitely take the opportunity to pretend to be pitiful in front of the empress dowager and put on a sly look.
But so what. The empress dowager
will just scold her a few words at most!
She can handle it.
In the past, she didn't care about it, but now she cares about it, and Aunt Xu will suffer.
It's no wonder that Huo didn't think of using the identity of the marquis' wife to deal with Aunt Xu.
In the past, she thought that Aunt Xu's incident should not be blamed on Aunt Xu alone. Don't men have no responsibilities?
Life in the general's mansion is simple, and her father and two brothers don't have concubines.
She has been spoiled since she was a child, and her values are very positive.
She doesn't want to embarrass a woman.
Thinking about it now, Huo feels that she is stupid.
Not all women in this world are good women. Some people are bad from the root.
She retracted her gaze indifferently and touched Qiao Niannian's little head lovingly.
Fortunately, she had a daughter, which gave her the opportunity to correct her mistakes.
Seeing her mother touching her head, Qiao Niannian couldn't help rubbing it in her mother's palm.
Huo's heart softened instantly.
Aunt Xu on the side watched Huo and Qiao Niannian interacting intimately. Both of them were wearing high-quality satin.
Looking at her and Qiao Yueying, they were wearing washed and worn clothes.
At this moment, Qiao Yueying stood out, and everyone's eyes fell on her worn-out clothes with contempt in their eyes.
No matter how good Qiao Yueying's piano playing skills are.
Just this petty and unpresentable behavior makes people dislike it.
Qiao Yueying waited for the maid to bring the guqin over. She
felt like a thorn in her back when she felt the gazes on her.
She regretted it a little.
She should have chosen a beautiful dress when she knew that the envoy from Yue would come.
Mrs. Huo used to be very picky and didn't care about the monthly salary in Aunt Xu's room.
This time, for some unknown reason, she suddenly cut off the monthly salary for their courtyard.
She wanted to teach Mrs. Huo a lesson through the Queen Mother.
But now it seems that she has lost more than she gained.
Qiao Yueying herself felt inferior.
The envoy from Yue looked down on Qiao Yueying even more.
"Your Majesty, this lady is dressed so simply. It seems that the Great Xia Dynasty is not as prosperous as the rumors say!"
"Please forgive me, Prince Buluzi. Our Great Xia Dynasty does pay more attention to military strength."
Didn't they just destroy the 50,000-strong army of Western Chu?
The emperor smiled and responded lightly, which made Yuan Buluqi's face change.
The soldiers of Western Chu were beaten back by the Great Xia Dynasty. As a vassal state of Western Chu, he was really speechless about what Emperor Jing'an said, and in the end he could only smile and pass it off.
The emperor also smiled and changed the subject.
After all, Qiao Yueying's dress was really embarrassing.
He looked at Qiao Yueying's eyes and couldn't help but be unhappy.
Was she slapping him in the face by wearing such a dress at the banquet he hosted?
This time, even the empress dowager had nothing to say. It
's not that she didn't know what Qiao Yueying was thinking, but she felt that as a concubine, Qiao Yueying's life in Mingyuan Marquis' Mansion must not be easy.
She remembered that Qiao Yueying had saved her, so she was willing to give Huo a warning.
But now, because of Qiao Yueying's little thoughts, the country has lost face.
It's different.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Qiao Yueying.
The ministers around her cast their eyes of criticism on Qiao Yueying.
Qiao Yueying has completely lost the face of their Great Xia Dynasty.
Qiao Yueying's face turned pale in an instant.
Her body was even a little shaky.
It's a pity that no one cares about her.
The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet hosted by the Emperor
is the most important palace banquet besides the New Year.
Everyone attends in a gorgeous dress.
Only you, a concubine's daughter, are special. You deliberately wear old clothes, and you are the only one who attracts attention.
As the mistress of the house, there is no one who likes concubines and sons.
In addition, Qiao Yueying is always hypocritical. Everyone comes from the back house, and they can tell what's going on at a glance.
Didn't she dress like this on purpose? She
showed it to the Queen Mother on purpose!
Relying on her achievements in saving the Queen Mother, she tried to put herself in the eyes of the Huo family.
Qiao Yueying thought that others didn't know about her little thoughts.
In fact, everyone's heart was as clear as a mirror. It's
just that it has nothing to do with them, so they just ignored it.
Now it's related to the face of the country and their face, so naturally they are united against the outside world.
Qiao Yueying dressed like this. She
was even seen by foreign envoys.
It's really embarrassing. With such a thing, she can still play the piano?
Qiao Yueying felt the gazes of the emperor and the crowd, and couldn't help but hold the hem of her clothes.
She gritted her teeth secretly.
These people only saw that she was wearing shabby clothes.
They blamed her for being embarrassed!
They didn't even think about whether she was bullied by the Huo family.
If she had been treated like Qiao Niannian, how could she dress like this.
The more she thought about it, the more she hated it.
Qiao Yueying almost bit her silver teeth to pieces.
Fortunately, the maid quickly brought the guqin over.
When Qiao Yueying saw the guqin, a glimmer of joy flashed across her eyes.
Aunt Xu also saw the guqin, and a light flashed across her eyes.
Qiao Niannian was not at all surprised by the attitudes of the two people.
In the novel, the scene of playing the guqin at the palace banquet is the highlight.
There is even a close-up of the description of this scene.
The guqin that the palace maid brought in now is the guqin that Qiao Yueying usually practices.
You must know that the guqin is also alive, and each guqin has its own unique tone.
There are no two guqins in the world that are exactly the same.
Naturally, there are no two sounds that are exactly the same.
Top guqin players use their own guqins when they perform.
Not only because they have practiced for a long time and have a tacit understanding, the biggest reason is that the guqin player and the guqin sound are integrated into one.
Aunt Xu also took great pains to make her daughter famous.
He bribed the eunuchs in the palace with silver and brought the zither in.
He was waiting to play a stunning song at the palace banquet.
None of these mattered. What
Qiao Niannian cared about was the black air on the zither.
This feeling was exactly the same as the feeling that the master gave her.
This zither was tampered with.
After a while, no matter how Qiao Yueying played, everyone would be immersed in the most beautiful sound in their hearts, and in the end, they would all submit to Qiao Yueying's piano skills.
No wonder in the book, Yuan Buluqi praised Master Qiao Yueying.
It turned out to be an illusion.
Qiao Niannian's beautiful eyes lit up.
She turned her fingers around, and a beam of white spiritual power hit the zither.
The zither trembled twice imperceptibly and returned to calm.
The spiritual power used by Qiao Niannian is so powerful that unless someone is from the Xuanmen sect and has a higher level of Taoism than her, they will not be able to detect her little movements.
Qiao Yueying didn't know this. When she saw the guqin, the anger on her face because of being criticized for her clothes disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a confident and calm expression.
This guqin was a gift from her master.
The sound it produced was so fascinating that not only the audience, but even she couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
Later, her master took her out to play.
He didn't show his face, but just played the guqin.
It caused a big sensation at the time.
People even spent a lot of money to let her play a song.
Qiao Yueying has great confidence in her guqin skills.
She sat down calmly, and her fingers fell on the strings.
