Chapter 112 The truth is revealed
Du Ruo finished her song.
The banquet was silent for a while.
After she finished playing the piano, her confidence disappeared, and she looked at everyone nervously.
She likes playing the piano and thinks she is not bad.
But in a place like the capital, there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and she never dares to look down on anyone.
And now no one is talking, does it prove that she is not good at playing?
Du Ruo's face turned pale.
It has nothing to do with her, but before she came, the palace maid said
that the person who recommended her this time was the tenth princess.
And the tenth princess quarreled with the eighth princess because of her.
If she doesn't play well, will it affect the tenth princess?
Just when Du Ruo was thinking wildly.
A round of applause rang out.
Then, there was a continuous rise and fall of applause.
Even the envoy of Yue State, Prince Yuan Buluqi, was generous in his praise.
He thought that the women of the Great Xia Dynasty were all average at playing the zither.
After all, along the way, he had seen the daughter of the Marquis of Mingyuan, who was praised by everyone, unable to play a tune.
Who knew that there really was a woman who could play such a wonderful sound.
"This girl's zither skills are really amazing. Even I admire her."
Yuan Buluqi's zither skills were actually similar to those of Du Ruo.
But as a grown man, it would not be glorious for him to tie with Du Ruo, and it would be even more embarrassing if he lost.
So he could only come out to compliment her and admit that there were many talented people in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Emperor Jing'an was very happy for a while.
The face that Qiao Yueying had just lost was now regained by Du Ruo.
The queen even gave her a direct reward.
The queen mother's expression also eased a lot, and she looked at Du Ruo with an extremely gentle look.
She even felt that Du Ruo looked kind, so she smiled and spoke.
"Girl, you are really good at playing the piano. Come forward and let me see."
Du Ruo was very nervous, but she was also carefully taught by the nanny. Although she was nervous, her movements were not at all out of control.
When Qiao Yueying saw this scene, she felt her heart rise to her throat.
She pinched her hands together to comfort herself.
"No, the Queen Mother was dressed ordinary that day, maybe Du Ruo didn't recognize her at all."
"Even if Du Ruo recognized the Queen Mother as the person she rescued at that time, she has no evidence to prove it. When the Queen Mother asks about it, she can just deny it."
Thinking of this, Qiao Yueying finally calmed down a little.
But even after comforting herself in this way, Qiao Yueying couldn't help but feel worried when she saw Du Ruo approaching the Queen Mother step by step.
Qiao Niannian's eyes lingered on the third prince Xia Zeqi and Qiao Yueying.
According to the plot in the novel, Qiao Yueying finished her song and received applause from the audience. The third prince's eyes fell on Qiao Yueying with deep meaning.
This is the first time the hero and the heroine meet.
The third prince should have a good impression of Qiao Yueying.
But she just glanced at the Third Prince, who didn't even look at Qiao Yueying. Even if he looked over occasionally, there was disgust in his eyes.
Good guy.
The plot is completely broken.
But it's good that it's broken. If
the plot doesn't break, would all the people in the Marquis' Mansion die miserably?
Qiao Niannian smiled and drank the fruit wine on the table.
This is the wine prepared for women at the palace banquet. It has a low alcohol content and won't make you drunk. So even if Qiao Niannian wanted to drink it, Mrs. Huo didn't stop her.
The taste of this fruit wine is really good, with a mellow fragrance and a long aftertaste.
Qiao Niannian drank a glass and poured herself another glass. Not long after, a small pot of fruit wine was drunk by Qiao Niannian herself.
On the other side.
Du Ruo walked to the Queen Mother, who took out a piece of jewelry from her body and placed it in Du Ruo's palm.
Du Ruo hurriedly thanked her, and it was at this time that she dared to raise her head and look at the Queen Mother.
Just this one look, Du Ruo was shocked.
For a moment, her eyes fell directly on the Queen Mother's face, and even the etiquette was forgotten.
The Tenth Princess on the side turned her eyes, walked forward, and said: "Du Ruo, what's wrong with you, do you know my Royal Grandmother?"
Du Ruo was not sure, she was about to shake her head, and the Tenth Princess spoke again.
"Hey, this handkerchief, why does it look like my Royal Grandmother's thing."
Royal things are naturally extraordinary, and the materials used are not available outside.
And the Royal Grandmother likes lotus flowers, just because the Royal Grandfather met the Royal Grandmother because of lotus flowers.
The Royal Grandfather said that the Royal Grandmother was as elegant as a lotus, and it always makes people's eyes light up.
Therefore, there is a lotus flower on the handkerchief of the Royal Grandmother, which is woven with colorful gold threads unique to the palace. There is no other imitation outside the palace.
The most important thing is that this handkerchief is a bit old.
It was given to the Royal Grandmother by the Royal Grandfather.
Since the death of the Royal Grandfather, the Royal Grandmother has often used the handkerchief to tell the stories of the two of them in the past to these young people.
They have seen this handkerchief countless times and know where a gold thread is broken on it. They
will definitely not recognize it wrong.
Du Ruo glanced at the purse on her waist, revealing a corner of the handkerchief.
She originally suspected that she had seen it wrong.
After all, she was in a hurry to save people at that time, and the Queen Mother closed her eyes and was not dressed as expensively as she is now, so she did not dare to recognize her.
Now, after listening to the Tenth Princess' words, Du Ruo realized that the person she had accidentally saved was actually the Queen Mother
.
Even the Queen Mother found her handkerchief.
Her eyes immediately turned red.
This was her wish.
At that time, she slipped and fainted in the Taoist temple. When she woke up again, she saw Qiao Yueying.
Qiao Yueying also explained that she saved her.
She found that her handkerchief was lost at that time, and asked Qiao Yueying, but Qiao Yueying said that she didn't see it.
She felt strange at that time.
Since Qiao Yueying found her where she fainted, how could she not see her handkerchief? Before she fainted, she took out her handkerchief and looked at it.
She never left this handkerchief, and she was never willing to use it. Only when she missed the person in her heart would she take it out and look at it for a while. The handkerchief
was lost, and she sent people to turn the Taoist temple upside down, but still found nothing, so she had to give up in the end.
She didn't expect that the handkerchief would appear again one day.
Du Ruo saw the Queen Mother's mood fluctuate, and hurriedly took the handkerchief out of her purse.
"Last time, I accidentally encountered the Queen Mother fainting. I didn't bring a maid with me at
that time, so I could only take care of the Queen Mother to go to the room to rest. I didn't pay attention to this handkerchief." "When I came out of the room and saw the handkerchief, the Queen Mother had already left."
"At that time, I didn't know the identity of the Queen Mother, so I wore the silk handkerchief on my body, hoping that one day, I could return it to its original owner."
Du Ruo didn't mean it that well.
She mainly felt that this handkerchief must have a different meaning for the Queen Mother.
Her family made silk, and it was silk that was presented to the royal family as a tribute.
When she picked it up, the color of the silk and the traces of use proved that the handkerchief had been there for many years. She looked at the embroidery on it and saw that it had broken, but it was just cleverly connected.
The handkerchief had been so well-cared for and worn for so many years, so it must be very important.
Now, she can finally return it to its original owner.
