Chapter 123 Xia Chaoyan was dumbfounded

Xia Chaoyan looked at the Empress Dowager with expectation.

In the past, whenever she said this, the Empress Dowager would scold Xia Muyan.

This time would definitely be no exception.

If the Empress Dowager had not heard Qiao Niannian's voice, she might really have scolded Xia Muyan.

The main reason was that Xia Muyan usually behaved very arrogantly and domineeringly, and her biological mother was the current Empress Dowager, so no one would have thought that she would be wronged.

Xia Chaoyan looked weak in character, and her mother was Concubine Xian, who had been in poor health since giving birth to the eldest prince.

Concubine Xian was a person who did not fight or compete. She

was already in poor health, and after giving birth to Xia Chaoyan, Xia Chaoyan's health was also poor.

So whether it was the Empress Dowager or the Emperor, they would always love Xia Chaoyan more.

Every time there was a conflict between Xia Chaoyan and Xia Muyan, they would stand on Xia Chaoyan's side.

Xia Chaoyan, who had always been well-behaved in the Queen Mother's heart, actually used this to deal with Xia Muyan. This was simply stepping on the bottom line of the Queen Mother.

She looked at Xia Chaoyan and spoke slowly.

"Xiao Shi is right. This is the rule since ancient times."

"In the past, your grandmother and your father always favored you a little more because of your poor health, and put the rules of the royal family aside. Now that you have grown up, it is time for you to learn some rules."

After speaking, she looked at Xia Muyan again, with a tone of praise.

"Xiao Shi did a good job. She is worthy of being the Queen's child and she is well-behaved."

"But it is precisely because of this that you have suffered a lot of grievances."

The Queen Mother was furious when she thought of the mess Xia Zeqi would do in the future, but now things have not happened yet and Xia Zeqi is still filial, so she did not make trouble.

But Xia Chaoyan is different.

She has already begun to frame the imperial sister. If she doesn't get a lesson this time, who knows what she will do in the future. The Queen Mother

made a decision.

"Xiao Ba, you are two years older than Xiao Shi after all, and it's time for you to learn the rules. I will point the palace maids around me to you, and you should learn the rules and don't do the kind of things that happened at the banquet again." A

princess of a country can't even speak, and she has brought shame to the Kingdom of Yue.

The Queen Mother's words are already very heavy.

Especially Xia Chaoyan, who was sensitive, was scolded in front of Xia Muyan, and her face was full of shock and anger.

What's wrong with the Royal Grandmother today? Why is she lecturing her everywhere?

It was obviously Xia Muyan who went too far, and the Royal Grandmother didn't help her vent her anger, and she also helped Xia Muyan bully her.

Xia Chaoyan was very angry.

But in front of the Queen Mother, she didn't dare to lose her temper, and could only hold back her temper.

"What the Royal Grandmother taught Chaoyan is that she knows she is wrong."

Xia Muyan didn't expect things to turn around like this. She thought she would be scolded by the Royal Grandmother, but she didn't expect that the Royal Grandmother would praise her.

Her back straightened even more.

When Xia Chaoyan looked over, she raised her chin slightly, and her little face was full of pride.

Xia Chaoyan hated it so much. She originally wanted to test why the Queen Mother called Qiao Niannian into the palace.

After all, as far as she knew, the Queen Mother would never bring Qiao Niannian into Cining Palace just because of Xia Muyan's request.

But before she could get the words out, she didn't want to stay any longer.

Qiao Niannian kept staring at Xia Chaoyan, and found that Xia Chaoyan's eyes at this moment were full of resentment when looking at Xia Muyan, and she couldn't help frowning.

[Strange, every time the Eighth Princess looks at the Tenth Princess, the Tenth Princess's luck begins to weaken, but I don't find any problems with the Eighth Princess. What's going on? ]

The Queen Mother was shocked when she heard this, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on Xia Chaoyan's face.

She saw that the other party's eyes were full of resentment, although it was restrained very quickly, she still found it. The empress

dowager was secretly surprised.

She had never carefully observed Xia Chaoyan's expression before, and had never discovered that Xia Chaoyan would have such a vicious expression.

And what about the luck that Nian Yatou just mentioned?

Did Xia Chaoyan do something to Xiao Shi?

At the same time, the empress dowager herself couldn't help but recall that in the past, Xiao Shiyi was very well-behaved when he was alone, but as long as Xia Chaoyan appeared, Xiao Shi would become very excited.

She just thought that the two sisters disliked each other.

Now hearing what Qiao Niannian said, the empress dowager couldn't help but have a few more thoughts.

She frowned and felt that she couldn't let Xia Chaoyan stay here any longer.

The empress dowager simply pointed to a palace maid and asked her to teach Xia Chaoyan the rules and drive Xia Chaoyan away.

Xia Chaoyan is a person who can endure. She hated the Queen Mother

to death in her heart, but she could still force a smile on her face. "Grandmother, Chaoyan will take her leave now." After saying that, she turned around and left Cining Palace. The palace maids got the Queen Mother's signal and immediately followed. After Xia Chaoyan left, Xia Muyan relaxed completely. When she knew that Qiao Niannian would stay in Cining Palace at night, she also clamored to come and stay. Qiao Niannian's expression moved. [Just now, the Eighth Princess glanced at the Tenth Princess, and the Tenth Princess's fortune was affected. If the Tenth Princess is allowed to go back, she might encounter danger. It is best for her to stay in Cining Palace.] The Queen Mother swallowed the rejection that was on the tip of her tongue. She originally thought that there would be ghosts in her palace and she might encounter danger. She didn't want Xia Muyan to stay here. But after listening to what Qiao Niannian said, it was clear that it was safer to stay here. Finally, the Queen Mother waved her hand, and Xia Muyan stayed. She was about to ask someone to clean up a room for Xia Muyan, but Xia Muyan hugged Qiao Niannian. "Grandmother, I want to sleep in the same room with Nian Nian."

The Queen Mother sent the two people away directly.

Xia Muyan was very happy. She didn't know why. Anyway, as long as she stayed with Qiao Niannian, she felt very comfortable.

After coming out of the house, she immediately sent the maid back to help her get some daily necessities.

Then, she took Qiao Niannian to visit the palace.

At night.

The Queen Mother was inexplicably uneasy. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She couldn't help but sit up and called the maid on duty outside.

The maid came in, turned on the light, and found that the Queen Mother's face was not good. She couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, do you need to summon the imperial physician to come and see?" The Queen Mother

waved her hands. Suddenly she wanted to drink lotus seed porridge. Ask the kitchen to make a bowl.

Upon hearing this, the maid immediately prepared to pass on the message, but unexpectedly met Nanny Soft who had gotten up for the night.

Nanny Soft saw that the maid looked flustered and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

The maid repeated the request of the Queen Mother, and Nanny Soft nodded: "Nothing."

The Queen Mother loved to drink lotus seed porridge, especially the lotus seed porridge she made, which was the best for the Queen Mother.

Nanny Soft thought that the distance between the kitchen of Yu and Ci Ning Palace was not far, so she simply took the maid to go there herself.

There were people on duty in the kitchen of Yu.

She didn't have to spend much effort, just according to the Queen Mother's preferences, and watch the fire.

"Well, you go and take care of the Empress Dowager, and I'll take the maids to the kitchen to have a look."

The maids all agreed. In the entire Cining Palace, Nanny Soft knew the Empress Dowager's preferences best.
