Chapter 122 Underestimated Him

Xia Zeqi narrowed his eyes.

He really underestimated the prince before. He

didn't expect that he would be so scheming despite his fate of not living past the age of fifteen.

But Xia Zeqi didn't show it.

"Royal sister, it's a coincidence that Miss Qiao is now with the Royal Grandmother."

"The Royal Grandmother said that it was Xiao Shi who wanted to see Miss Qiao. Xiao Shi has been very much loved by the Royal Grandmother recently."

Xia Chaoyan's expression moved.

Xia Muyan has never been close to the Royal Grandmother. When Xia Muyan wanted to see Qiao Niannian, the Royal Grandmother brought him back. When did the Royal Grandmother value Xia Muyan so much?

Xia Zeqi finished speaking and left.

Xia Chaoyan glanced at Xia Zeqi in the distance, and then took the maid to Cining Palace.

On the other side.

Nanny Ruan brought the palace maids to clean up the room for Qiao Niannian, and the Queen Mother sent someone to call Xia Muyan over.

As a result, when Xia Muyan came, he bumped into Xia Chaoyan head-on.

Xia Chaoyan showed a half-smile on his face, and Xia Muyan rolled his eyes at Xia Chaoyan, took the lead, and walked towards Cining Palace.

Xia Chaoyan was stunned.

In the past, Xia Muyan would be more emotional after seeing her.

And because she killed Xia Muyan's cat when she was a child, Xia Muyan would be subconsciously afraid of her.

But today, Xia Chaoyan no longer sees the fear in Xia Muyan's eyes.

She couldn't help but pinch her handkerchief. A lot of things have happened recently, and Xia Muyan has completely exceeded her expectations.

But no matter how Xia Muyan changes, as long as she wants, she can make Xia Muyan fear her like before.

Xia Chaoyan took two quick steps and called Xia Muyan.

"Xiao Shi, wait a minute."

Xia Muyan heard Xia Chaoyan's voice, stopped, and turned around.

Xia Chaoyan couldn't help but smile, and just as she was about to continue speaking, she was interrupted.

"Eighth sister, although you are older than me, I call you sister, but in this palace, I am the legitimate daughter of the queen, and you are the daughter of a concubine. Logically, you should perform formalities when you see me."

"But you cry so much, and every time you cry, father and grandmother feel very distressed, so they let you become more unruly."

"Father, mother, and grandmother call me little ten, but who do you think you are!"

Xia Muyan looked at Xia Chaoyan, his tone was stern, with the majesty of the royal family.

Xia Chaoyan was being lectured by Xia Muyan in public, and there were so many palace maids and eunuchs watching around.

She was going to slap her in the face in public.

Xia Chaoyan couldn't help but overflow with tears, and the next moment, it seemed as if she was about to cry.

"The Tenth Princess taught me that it was Chaoyan who overstepped her bounds. Chaoyan was just thinking about her sisters. I am the elder sister, and I should take better care of you."

"I didn't expect that this title would make you uncomfortable."

Xia Muyan didn't buy it at all: "Eighth sister, you just like to confuse right and wrong. It's obviously you who didn't follow the rules, but you still have to make up other reasons. It seems that you didn't have a deep enough experience in copying the female ring that your father punished you with!"

"By the way, don't shed your tears first. Let the grandmother see you when you go in later."

After saying that, she ignored Xia Chaoyan and turned to enter Cining Palace.

The palace maids who followed Xia Chaoyan and served her dared not breathe at this moment.

Xia Chaoyan looked weak in character, and the emperor and the queen mother would pamper her more, but she liked to vent her anger on the people around her the most.

And they always pinched and squeezed in places where no one could see.

The maids serving Xia Chaoyan had bruises all over their bodies.

Seeing Xia Chaoyan getting angry, the maids around her were trembling with fear.

The maid's trembling arms made Xia Chaoyan even more angry.

"Why are you shaking? Do you think I can eat you? Do you want me to lose face in front of the Empress Dowager?"

The maid was so scared that she knelt on the ground with a thump.

"Princess, I didn't, and I dare not!"

Xia Chaoyan was very angry when she looked at the idiot in front of her, but now she was at the gate of Cining Palace, surrounded by the maids who served the Empress Dowager, so she had to restrain her temper.

"Idiot, hurry up."

Hearing this, the maid stood up by rolling and crawling.

Xia Chaoyan then walked towards Cining Palace.

Since Xia Muyan said so, she would definitely go and complain to the Empress Dowager.

Xia Chaoyan entered the Cining Palace.

At this moment.

Xia Muyan had already sat next to Qiao Niannian, talking to her, while the Empress Dowager sat aside listening to the two of them talking, with a rare kind look on her face.

Xia Chaoyan was a little confused.

The Empress Dowager didn't dislike the hustle and bustle the most, but now she was sitting aside with a smile on her face listening to Xia Muyan and Qiao Niannian talking.

This scene was particularly dazzling.

Xia Chaoyan walked in and deliberately broke the scene in front of her.

"Chaoyan greets the Empress Dowager, how is the Empress Dowager?"

The Queen Mother turned her head, looked at Xia Chaoyan, and waved her hand.

"Find a place to sit down!"

Xia Chaoyan did not sit down, but stood and saluted Xia Muyan.

After speaking, she spoke in a low voice.

"Mu Yan, you are right. You are the legitimate daughter of the Empress, and I am only born to a concubine. I should indeed bow to you when I see you."

Xia Mu Yan's eyes widened.

I didn't expect this Xia Chao Yan to be so shameless.

On weekdays, he called her Xiao Shi, and bowed to her in front of the Empress Dowager. Isn't this deliberately trying to put on an eye drop in front of the Empress Dowager?

How shameless.

But Xia Chaoyan misinterpreted these words, and she didn't know where to start her explanation.

The Queen Mother looked unhappy. As expected

, she still didn't like having too many children. It was too noisy and not clean at all.

There are only three of them, and they have already started to fight with each other. What if there are two more?

The Queen Mother has been fighting in the palace for a lifetime, and now she doesn't want to see these tricks she has left.

And Qiao Niannian, on the other hand, couldn't help but complain.

[It's a coincidence that the Eighth Princess came. She came just after the Third Prince left. She probably knew that the Tenth Princess was coming, so she deliberately came to trouble the Tenth Princess. ]

[The Eighth Princess is worthy of being the Third Prince's good helper in the future. She helped the Third Prince ascend the throne. Both of them were born to concubines. One has an opinion about the Crown Prince, and the other has an opinion about the Tenth Princess. 】

【Poor Princess Ten, who has been bullied since she was a child, was also misunderstood as the bully. Although she had a noble mother like the Empress Dowager, she was just a little girl and could only cry secretly when she was wronged. 】

Xia Muyan did not say these to Qiao Niannian.

It was the maidservants who served Xia Muyan who told Qiao Niannian.

Because they found that after their princess and Qiao Niannian got together, they became more and more courageous. They used to be very afraid of Princess Eight, but now they don't take her seriously at all.

So, the maidservant told Qiao Niannian about Princess Ten.

Qiao Niannian rubbed Princess Ten's head to calm her anger.

On the side, the Queen Mother frowned after hearing what Qiao Niannian was thinking.

Her eyes fell on Xia Muyan, and she realized that Xia Muyan was still a ten-year-old child.

Although he was the same age as Qiao Niannian, he looked younger and shorter. He smiled brightly at Qiao Niannian.
