Chapter 111 Abnormal

Xia Muyan sneered.

"What are you talking about, sister? You are always belittling me, and now you think I will bring shame to my father. It's ridiculous."

"You have no evidence at all, and you have never met my friends, yet you say such things."

"You not only belittle me, but also my friends."

"I see that sister is so powerful, I think she can help my father share his worries, why don't you solve this problem."

"Come to think of it, sister can stand up and accuse me, so she must have a good way, so sister will listen to her way."

Xia Muyan is the tenth princess, but she is the daughter of the queen, and her status is much more noble than the eighth princess.

In the past, because Xia Muyan would get angry every time, everyone would only think that Xia Chaoyan was only concerned about Xia Muyan.

But Xia Muyan didn't know what was good for her.

Today, Xia Muyan spoke with substance and logic.

The emperor and the queen mother couldn't help but look at Xia Muyan more with admiration in their eyes.

Xia Muyan was about to get angry.

But the voice of Qiao Niannian appeared in her mind.

She immediately came to her senses and threw the question to Xia Chaoyan.

Afterwards, she stopped talking and looked like she didn't care about this matter anymore.

Instead, it was Xia Chaoyan.

She met the gazes of the queen mother and the emperor, and her scalp went numb.

She didn't know that an envoy from the Kingdom of Yue would arrive today, so where could she find someone who played the piano well?

Although she also liked to play the piano, her skills were not even as good as those of the musicians in the palace.

Not to mention showing off her ugliness.

For a moment, Xia Chaoyan could not refute a word. It was

the first time that Xia Muyan saw Xia Chaoyan's frustrated look, and could not help showing a mocking look.

The queen sat next to the emperor, looking at Xia Chaoyan with a cold gaze.

"Chaoyan, what you just said makes sense. Muyan does not understand music, but I know that you do. I believe you can recommend a great musician."

It was the first time that Xia Chaoyan was forced like this, but she was not prepared and could not even fight back.

Finally, Xia Chaoyan knelt on the ground with a "thump" and admitted her mistake.

Seeing this, Xia Muyan hurriedly acted coquettishly to her mother.

"Mother, please don't say any more. If you continue, the eighth princess will cry again, and I will be the one to be scolded."

"After all, it was always like this before."

Xia Muyan's words reminded the emperor of the past. It seemed that Xia Chaoyan cried every time. When he saw Xia Chaoyan crying, he subconsciously thought that she was bullied by Xia Muyan.

The queen took her daughter's hand and helped her vent her anger.

"Don't be afraid. This is a palace banquet. The ministers are watching. Everyone knows who is right and who is wrong. It's not that your father will favor whoever sheds tears."

Emperor Jing'an was secretly accused by the queen, and he felt a little guilty.

He seemed to be on Xia Chaoyan's side every time.

But now think about it carefully, Xia Chaoyan is two years older than Xia Muyan, a head taller than Xia Muyan, and stronger than Xia Muyan.

How could he have thought that Xia Chaoyan was bullied by Xia Muyan before!

Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Xia Chaoyan.

"Chaoyan, after the palace banquet, copy the female ring twenty times and hand it to the empress in person. You must write it until the empress is satisfied, and apologize to your royal sister."

Xia Chaoyan's face turned pale.

She didn't expect that her father would punish her personally in front of the envoys from Yue State.

The third prince Xia Zeqi wanted to speak, but when he saw the impatience on his father's face, he immediately shut up.

Xia Muyan was refreshed to see that Xia Chaoyan was punished.

But that was not enough, she wanted to slap the other party in the face.

Xia Muyan relied on her young age, pulled her mother to act coquettishly, and brought up what had just happened.

The Queen knew her daughter very well. Xia Muyan would not say anything if she was not sure of it.

In addition, her daughter's performance today surprised her.

Compared with before, her daughter looked much calmer.

The Queen was also very happy and proposed it to the Emperor immediately.

The Emperor and the Queen Mother attached great importance to the Queen's proposal, and then agreed to the person recommended by Xia Muyan.

Xia Muyan immediately ordered the maids to bring the person in.

Everyone waited for a while, and the person came. The maid was holding a zither behind her. This time, the zither was used by the palace zither player. It was good, but not the best.

Du Ruo came in to pay her respects. She had never participated in a palace banquet, let alone met the emperor.

Du Ruo was a little nervous.

Fortunately, the Tenth Princess's people were careful and arranged her to play the piano near Du Heng.

Du Heng whispered a few words of encouragement to Du Ruo, and Du Ruo finally relaxed.

Her fingers fell on the strings.

The moment Du Ruo's fingers touched the strings, her whole demeanor changed, and the tension on her body instantly disappeared, replaced by calmness and confidence.

Du Ruo has liked playing the piano since she was a child.

She knew the music at the age of three and could play the piano at the age of five. She

is a truly talented woman in the Jiangnan area.

But this is the capital, and the people in the capital don't know much about what's going on in Jiangnan, not to mention that all those present are officials.

They have even less time to listen to those market news, so they don't know that the person playing the piano in front of them is a talented woman who is famous in Jiangnan.

They don't know how many talented people admire Du Ruo's piano skills.

If it weren't for Du Heng's protection, the Du family would have been in trouble for getting married.

However, at the moment when the piano sounded, nothing mattered anymore.

Everyone listened to the pleasant piano sound and couldn't help but close their eyes and savor it carefully.

At this time, everyone didn't want to make any other noise to destroy this beautiful sound.

Everyone present was immersed in it.

Only Qiao Yueying was completely panicked the moment she saw Du Ruo.

Because she recognized the person.

The girl in front of her was the one who saved the Queen Mother. At that time, she pretended to be a family member of the Queen Mother, took the Queen Mother from the other party, and then appeared as the Queen Mother's savior.

In fact, the person who saved the Queen Mother was Du Ruo.

Thinking of this.

Qiao Yueying felt sick. The

reason why she is protected by the Queen Mother now is because of the life-saving emotion. If it weren't for the life-saving emotion, how could the Queen Mother have the time to care about the affairs of a concubine's daughter.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yueying was completely panicked.

No.

The Queen Mother must not be allowed to see Du Ruo, nor must Du Ruo be allowed to have the opportunity to tell the truth.

But what should she do?

Now it is a palace banquet, in front of a large crowd, and in front of the emperor. If she does something, wouldn't it arouse suspicion?

Qiao Yueying felt guilty and scared. She sat in front of the table, not knowing what to do.

Du Ruo's affair was discovered, which was more serious than her previous embarrassing situation.

Aunt Xu had the same mood as Qiao Yueying.

She didn't know that there was someone else who saved the queen mother. She just couldn't stand someone stepping on her daughter to get to the top.

Her daughter is the best.

Everything was planned, and no one knew what went wrong. The beautiful music that was usually worth a fortune became a harsh noise today.

Aunt Xu had everyone plan everything. She

also spent a lot of money to arrange the palace.

In the end, she made wedding clothes for others.
