Chapter 94 The Angry Tenth Princess
Xia Rongyu knew that her sister would only be timid in front of him. In private, she was actually very powerful!
When she felt annoyed by those who tried to curry favor with her, she would use some tricks to torture them.
But she was of noble status and was the object of everyone's fawning.
The Third Prince might have thought that Qiao Niannian was just like the others and would rush to fawn on Xia Muyan. Xia Muyan hated being fawned on the most and would definitely torture Qiao Niannian.
It was because of this that he had to investigate.
Xia Muyan was not stupid. On the contrary, she was very smart.
Otherwise, she would not have become the villain who survived to the end and competed with the Third Prince for the throne.
She understood a little bit what her brother and Qiao Niannian said, and immediately realized that she was calculated by the Third Prince.
"Okay, it turned out that the third prince deliberately sent someone to tell me, I knew he had bad intentions, and now I see that he is indeed a black-hearted person."
Xia Muyan has disliked the third prince since she was a child. When the two met on weekdays, they were always at loggerheads.
Now that she knew that the third prince was plotting against her, her face turned black.
Afterwards, Xia Muyan looked at her brother and felt a little guilty.
After all, she did plan to deal with Qiao Niannian before.
Thinking of this, Xia Muyan couldn't help but apologize.
"I'm sorry, brother."
She almost fell for that black-hearted person.
Xia Rongyu didn't say anything, but the sense of oppression that condensed into substance on her body was particularly penetrating.
Not to mention Xia Muyan in the room, even the palace maids and guards outside were so scared that they dared not breathe.
Qiao Niannian glanced at the brother and sister.
Xia Rongyu obviously wanted to teach Xia Muyan a lesson, and not to be so impulsive every time.
She spoke for Xia Muyan somewhat awkwardly: "The Tenth Princess already knows she was wrong, and she won't do it again next time."
Xia Rongyu glanced at Qiao Niannian, and then looked at Xia Muyan: "Does she really know she was wrong?"
Xia Muyan nodded frantically.
Xia Rongyu didn't pursue the matter any more, and the matter was considered over.
Xia Muyan was completely confused.
Just like that?
It's all right?
This was not in line with her brother's character, and she should at least be punished for another month's schoolwork.
Xia Muyan just wanted to slap herself twice after thinking about it.
Bah, bah, bah.
Nonsense, this is the best.
Why was she still thinking about her brother punishing her with schoolwork?
She didn't want to write until her hands cramped again, that feeling was very uncomfortable.
Because Xia Rongyu did not punish her, she simply stayed to eat at night. In the end, she was very satisfied with the meal and left the East Palace.
Qiao Niannian rested in the guest room of the East Palace for one night and was sent back the next day.
After Mrs. Huo knew that her daughter had returned, she hurried out. She looked at Qiao Niannian from head to toe, inside and out, and was relieved to make sure that her daughter had not lost a single hair.
She was really worried.
Mrs. Huo touched her daughter's little face distressedly.
"My dear, you have been so hard lately. You have lost weight. You must be very tired playing with the Tenth Princess!"
Qiao Niannian laughed dryly and did not answer.
Mrs. Huo was helpless. Knowing that her daughter had many little secrets, she did not continue to ask, but told her a happy event.
"Your elder brother will be returning to the capital soon."
"The Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet will be held in six days. I'll ask Xiuniang to measure your size and make a dress for you to wear at the banquet."
Qiao Niannian had no objection. For such matters, it was arranged by the Huo family.
However, the novel is particularly detailed about the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet.
Because this is the highlight of the first meeting between the hero and heroine.
Moreover, it is also a scene in which Qiao Yueying becomes famous and famous in the capital.
In the novel, Qiao Chuanbai died on the battlefield, and then the border army was destroyed. These things happened later. The soldiers led by her grandfather returned after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace was held normally. The Marquis Mingyuan
's Mansion naturally had to attend the banquet. Something
happened to the Huo family, and Aunt Xu took power.
In the whole mansion, there are four children in the first house. The eldest died in the battlefield, the second was traveling outside and never came back, and the third gambled and had his hands and feet chopped off. He fell into a stinky ditch and lost his life.
The only one who could be taken out of the whole first house was Qiao Niannian.
Unfortunately, because her mother died and she fell into the water and never recovered, she was left with a chronic illness.
She has been sick all the time.
Aunt Xu pretended to be helping the marquis take care of the backyard, but in fact, she secretly withheld Qiao Niannian's daily necessities.
Even the maids around her were all replaced by her people, staring at Qiao Niannian, for fear that she would do something naughty.
As for food, she could only hold on for a breath and not starve to death.
Don't even think about medicine and supplements.
Under such circumstances, Qiao Niannian was taken to the banquet by Aunt Xu.
The day before the banquet, Qiao Niannian was dressed up, but her own two sons were dressed well, but definitely not gorgeously.
At the banquet, the noble ladies saw Aunt Xu's style and immediately liked her, and Aunt Xu gained a good reputation.
In addition, her two children caught the eye of the empress dowager, and for a while, she became the center of attention at the banquet. Aunt
Xu could not find fault with everything she did, even the General's Mansion.
In the novel, the undercover thief in the General's Mansion was not caught, but had been lurking in the General's Mansion.
She was waiting for General Huo to return to Beijing.
Because in the novel, these bad guys are hiding deeper, the timeline is a few days later, and General Huo returns with Qiao Chuanbai's coffin after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The bandit leader poisoned the food after General Huo returned to Beijing, almost killing everyone in the General's Mansion.
So at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, people from the General's Mansion were also there, but they were far away and did not sit together to talk.
Qiao Niannian did not have the opportunity to tell her situation, and the people in the General's Mansion knew that Qiao Niannian was weak, but they thought it was because of Huo's strength that she could not bear the blow, so this happened.
The palace banquet was going on normally, but that day, an envoy from a small country came.
Qiao Niannian was asked to play the zither in public.
A noble lady from a high-class family must be proficient in everything from zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Qiao Niannian is naturally also proficient.
But she was in such a bad condition that she had no strength to play the piano. She was forced to play the piano, but she played it badly.
In the end, it was Qiao Yueying who stood up and tried to play the piano for Qiao Niannian without being humble or arrogant. Then she played a piece of her own composition and won the applause of the whole room.
She saved face for the Great Xia Dynasty, and the emperor and the empress dowager were generous in their rewards. Even the envoys from small countries showed their heartfelt admiration.
Qiao Yueying became famous, stepping on Qiao Niannian's clouds.
From then on, when people in the capital mentioned Qiao Yueying's piano skills that were famous in the capital, they would mention how bad Qiao Niannian's performance was in advance.
Qiao Niannian recalled the plot of the novel in her heart, and Mrs. Huo was right in front of her and listened to the whole plot.
Thinking that after her death, Xu dared to treat her precious daughter like this, Huo was so angry that she was shaking all over.
What a good Xu, what a good heroine, she was really too used to these people.
