Chapter 119 The Third Prince Comes to Pay

His Holiness The Queen looked at the Queen Mother and then at the Emperor, and couldn't help but curl her lips. The Queen Mother

was a little sad, and after hearing what her son said, she was even sadder.

To be honest, her son was the worst.

He died earlier than her.

Alas!

It's all because of that little beast Xia Zeqi.

The carriage drove all the way into the inner courtyard of the palace.

Qiao Niannian glanced outside as if she had some feelings, and then chuckled.

[It seems that the Third Prince's plan at the palace banquet failed, so he wanted to start with the Queen Mother, so as to convince the Queen Mother and replace the imperial merchant.] The Queen Mother

glared when she heard this.

What's going on? Is Xia Zeqi related to the imperial merchant?

Qiao Niannian continued to think about Du Heng's matter in her heart.

[Du Heng and Du Ruo are unlucky. They offended the Third Prince because they didn't want to give him kickbacks, which gave the Jiang family an opportunity.]

[The Jiang family approached the Third Prince and promised to give him kickbacks.]

[The Third Prince was ambitious to begin with. He wanted to recruit soldiers and buy horses, so he lacked money.]

[The two of them were in cahoots and had planned everything.]

[The Third Prince dealt with Du Heng, and Jiang Boyu assassinated Du Ruo.]

[As a result, Du Ruo luckily escaped, and Du Heng also replaced the silk that the Third Prince had touched. Now, he can only think of other ways.]

[The Third Prince is used to being favored, and the Queen Mother also likes him. Maybe she will really agree!]

[How should I remind the Queen Mother! It's really worrying.]

The Queen Mother found it a little funny.

This child is kind-hearted.

At the same time, she also wanted to see if things were the same as Qiao Niannian said.

The carriage arrived at the inner palace, and the group got off the carriage. The emperor said hello to the empress dowager and left.

He still had a lot of official business to deal with!

Before the empress dowager said anything, the empress dowager spoke first.

"You don't have to accompany me, go and get busy!" After

hearing this, the empress dowager also left.

In this way, only the empress dowager and Qiao Niannian were left.

The empress dowager greeted Qiao Niannian affectionately: "Nian girl, come on, go in with me and take a look. Choose a house you like and live here for two days, okay?" The empress dowager

has experienced many ups and downs in her life. After getting old, her heart is firm. For children, except for the prince, there are not many people who are close to her.

This is the first time she has been so intimate with a little girl.

Even the tenth princess Xia Muyan didn't have such treatment.

The maids and nannies who were serving on the side were very surprised.

Even Nanny Ruan, who had followed the empress dowager for half her life, was also surprised.

How could her empress dowager come back after being out for a long time, and bring back a little one?

She remembered that her empress dowager disliked children the most.

The empress dowager liked quietness and didn't like hustle and bustle, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to live in a Taoist temple all year round to cultivate herself.

The empress dowager also knew the surprise of the people around her, but she naturally couldn't tell them such a mysterious thing as being able to hear Nian girl's inner voice.

She looked at Nanny Ruan.

"Pick a room that is close to my family and let Nian stay there. You take the maids to clean up the room yourself."

Now, Nanny Ruan was not just simply surprised, but shocked.

Her own queen mother did not like children, and was not very close to the princes and princesses. When she was young, the Eighth Princess came to live here for a while.

The queen mother gave special instructions.

Choose a room for the Eighth Princess that is not too close to her, and at that time just let the maids clean it up.

She didn't have to show up.

She was the closest nanny to the queen mother. If the queen mother asked her to handle something, it must mean that the queen mother attached great importance to it.

Nanny Ruan didn't understand

it all of a sudden. How could a daughter of the Marquis Mingyuan's Mansion be so valued by the queen mother.

Madam Ruan looked at Qiao Niannian curiously, and then met Qiao Niannian's lively eyes.

This little girl is very delicate.

Everyone likes beautiful things, and Madam Ruan is no exception. She carefully looked at Qiao Niannian's appearance and felt a touch of favor in her heart.

Qiao Niannian also found that Madam Ruan's eyes were very kind.

She swept her eyes over Madam Ruan's face and found that she had a disaster recently, and it was related to water. She

couldn't help but speak.

"Madam Ruan, in the past two days, you'd better stay away from places with a lot of water, especially the pond, and try not to get close."

Madam Ruan was a little confused.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but look at Madam Ruan more.

Whether it was true or not, she still reminded her.

"Miss Nian said not to let you get close to the pond. You should be careful and stay away from water." Madam

Ruan nodded.

"I'll remember."

She usually ordered the maids to do everything.

After all, she was old and should have left the palace long ago. It was just that the Queen Mother couldn't bear to let her go and kept her in the palace to serve.

In fact, she rarely left the yard and rarely went to the pond.

But the Queen Mother said so, and Madam Ruan took it to heart.

Seeing that Madam Ruan had remembered it, the Queen Mother waved her hand and let her go.

She took Qiao Nian Nian into the bedroom. When

Qiao Niannian entered the palace this time, Mrs. Huo sent two people from the courtyard to serve Qiao Niannian in the palace. Now, they left with Nanny Soft.

Nanny Soft took the palace maids to clean up, and the two maids helped outside.

At this time, a palace maid who had a good relationship with Nanny Soft couldn't help but speak.

"This young lady from the Marquis of Mingyuan is so amazing that she is so loved by the Empress Dowager. You should know that the several little princesses in the palace are not so lucky."

"Also, why did this Miss Qiao suddenly remind Madam not to go to the pond? It's so strange."

Before Madam Ruan said anything, the maid beside her whispered: "I heard that this Miss Qiao knows the mysterious art."

The maid was surprised: "Is it true? Miss Qiao is only ten years old this year, and she dares to help people read their fortunes?"

Another maid shook her head: "Who knows!"

They usually follow the Empress Dowager and serve in the Taoist temple, so they are used to speaking casually.

Besides, this is when there are no outsiders.

If there was one more person, they would not be able to talk about Qiao Niannian so carelessly.

Nanny Ruan was an old lady in the palace. She knew that many people would talk nonsense, so she immediately scolded the two people.

"Nonsense, since Miss Qiao is someone that the Queen Mother values, you should remember to serve her carefully and don't talk nonsense and anger the noble lady."

The two maids stuck out their tongues.

They didn't mean anything else, they were just curious and wanted to talk about it.

They stopped talking and quietly arranged the house.

On the other side.

The Queen Mother had just brought Qiao Niannian into the house when the palace maid came in to report: "Queen Mother, the third prince is here."

The Queen Mother was slightly surprised and glanced at Qiao Niannian on the side with a gloomy look.

Qiao Niannian really got it right.

The Queen Mother looked at the maid: "Let the Third Prince come in."

She wanted to see if Xia Zeqi really came to talk to her about the imperial merchant.

The maid heard this, responded, and went out to pass on the message.

After a while, the Third Prince came in, holding a wooden box in his hand.
