Chapter 153 The Queen Mother Picks Up Someone

Qiao Niannian was unaware of the fact that Aunt Xu was punished by the Huo family.

She had already been taken back to the palace by the Queen Mother.

The cause of the incident was that the pond where Madam Ruan fell into the water suddenly rolled up waves at night.

The sky was gloomy at the time, and there was an evil wind.

A palace maid happened to pass by the pond and saw this scene, so she hurriedly reported the matter to the Queen Mother.

Qiao Niannian had just returned home, and the Queen Mother did not want to disturb her.

But when she heard the palace maid say that there was a water ghost in the pond, the Queen Mother immediately sent someone to Mingyuan Marquis's Mansion to pick Qiao Niannian up.

Qiao Niannian only had time to tell her family that Qiao Yueying had colluded with Tianxuanmen, and then she was taken back to the palace by the guards.

As a result, the servants who wanted to have a good talk with their daughter sent their daughter out without saying a word.

Mrs. Huo sighed as she watched her daughter leave.

It was not good that her daughter was too outstanding. There were too many people competing for her.

As a mother, she had no time to get close to her daughter.

This was also very depressing!

Others did not know Mrs. Huo's melancholy.

Qiao Niannian had lived in the palace for a few days. As soon as she left the palace, the Empress Dowager could not wait to send someone to pick her up.

This kind of favor was quite explosive.

Everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty knew that the Empress Dowager liked quietness. On weekdays, she would not even meet the wives of some officials.

Even a few princesses did not have to go to pay their respects unless it was a special day.

No one knows what means the daughter of Marquis Mingyuan used to make the Queen Mother so fond of her.

After not seeing her for one day, she sent a carriage to pick her up.

This, this is really enviable.

In the past, people sent their daughters to the Queen Mother to serve her, but the Queen Mother did not want any of them and returned them all.

At first, everyone thought that the Queen Mother did not know her preferences.

But after so many people sent girls, including all kinds of girls, the Queen Mother still did not like any of them. Everyone then realized that the Queen Mother really did not want any maids.

Seeing that there was no hope, everyone gave up. After

a long time, everyone knew that the Queen Mother liked quietness.

As a result, the daughter of Marquis Mingyuan is now favored by the Queen Mother.

Not only did she let her live in Cining Palace with the Tenth Princess, but she was also given special grace to go to school with the princes.

What a great favor!

A daughter of the Marquis of Mingyuan is now being raised as a princess.

This is too jealous, and it makes many people's little thoughts stir.

Qiao Niannian didn't know that being taken back to the palace by the Queen Mother would arouse many people's little thoughts.

At this moment.

She was standing by the pond.

Behind her were the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Empress, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Everyone looked at her in unison, their eyes full of expectation.

Obviously.

The experience of seeing a ghost last time made everyone scared and curious.

Everyone was afraid of water ghosts, but with Qiao Niannian here, they couldn't help but want to see what the water ghost looked like this time.

Even the Emperor and the Queen Mother couldn't avoid this curiosity.

Everyone stretched their necks and looked at the water.

Last time, Qiao Niannian walked here, cast a spell with both hands, and the water ghost was forced ashore.

This time, I don't know if it will be the same as last time.

Everyone looked at it eagerly, full of curiosity.

Qiao Niannian also stared at the pond curiously.

Not only others were curious, she was curious too.

Last time she sensed that there was only one water ghost here, and it had been dealt with, and the evil spirits around it were also eliminated by her.

In the past few days, I haven't heard of anyone jumping into the river.

It is said that there are no water ghosts here.

But the maid saw it with her own eyes, and Qiao Niannian decided to take a closer look.

Qiao Niannian walked to the edge of the pond, she walked around the pond, looked left and right, and even walked along the pond for a long distance, and then fell silent.

The Queen Mother who followed over saw Qiao Niannian's expression and looked solemn.

"Nian girl, is the water ghost in this pond difficult to deal with?"

Otherwise, Qiao Niannian's expression would not be so strange.

The emperor was serious when he heard this: "Do you need the supervisor to come over to help?"

The queen also thought that the supervisor should be invited over, which would be safer.

The emperor agreed.

He turned around and looked at the guards, and was about to give an order.

Qiao Niannian suddenly spoke up.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the water ghosts in the pond are difficult to deal with, but that there are no water ghosts here at all."

Qiao Niannian's words stunned everyone.

The queen mother was even more puzzled: "There are no water ghosts, but the palace maids clearly saw the water in the pond rolling."

Qiao Niannian was helpless: "The rolling water is not necessarily a water ghost, it could be a fish."

Fish?

Everyone was puzzled.

Qiao Niannian walked to the edge of the test, raised her hand slightly, and saw the water rolling violently.

Everyone was startled, and felt that the water ghost was about to jump out.

However, the next moment,

a fish leaped up and fell into the water, splashing a large amount of water.

Everyone saw that the fish was just an ordinary carp, which might have lived for too long, so it was very big.

It swung its tail, stirring up a wave.

Everyone also understood.

It turned out to be a fish, and there was no water ghost at all.

The maid who had previously complained that there was a water ghost in the pond immediately knelt on the ground when she saw this.

"Empress Dowager, it's all my fault. I saw it wrong."

The Queen Mother was reasonable: "It's not your fault. The fish was too big and you didn't expect it."

Although the maid was wrong to shout, there was indeed a water ghost in this pond.

If she were here, she would definitely think there was a water ghost.

At this time, a young man came over from not far away. He was wearing black clothes and had a handsome face. He looked at Qiao Niannian with a gentle look.

"Grandmother, it was just a misunderstanding. Fortunately, Niannian was powerful and saw that it was the splash of the fish, not the water ghost."

"This also reassures everyone."

It was the third prince who came over.

He had been standing not far away and watching since Qiao Niannian appeared.

Qiao Niannian was moved, but she didn't say anything.

But when this person came over, he looked at her with a gentle and doting look. He

also called her Nian Nian.

Qiao Nian Nian felt uncomfortable.

So, she reminded the third prince.

"The third prince can call me Taoist Qiao."

As for what Nian Nian, forget it!

The third prince's expression froze, and then he spoke calmly: "Taoist Qiao."

In the Great Xia Dynasty, people who practiced cultivation were very awed. Although Qiao Nian Nian was the daughter of the Marquis Mingyuan's mansion.

Logically speaking, she was not worthy

of the title of the third prince. But she was very capable. Just based on her Taoism that was better than Wang Xuanzhi, let alone the third prince, even the emperor had to respect her.

So when Qiao Nian Nian said this in public, no one present thought it was inappropriate.

The emperor didn't think much about what Qiao Nian Nian said.

In the end, it's just a title.

But what the Third Prince said was right.

Since Qiao Niannian said there were no water ghosts here, there were no water ghosts here.

Then what happened today was just a misunderstanding. He asked Qiao Niannian if water ghosts would appear here again.

Qiao Niannian shook her head.

"I used a spell to remove the evil spirit here before. Unless someone falls into the pond and dies again, there will be no water ghosts or evil spirits here."
