Chapter 78: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain

The prince watched from a distance, and his face was not very good-looking, especially when he looked at Qiao Chuying's appearance that he was about to cry just now, the blood vessels in his eyes began to explode.

As the prince, what the prince is best at is controlling his emotions, even if the hands under his sleeves are white, his face is still calm and people can't see the slightest.

Rationally, he clearly knew that things would get worse if he stood up at this time, who told him that he was not born by the queen or raised by the queen?

Thinking of this, the prince subconsciously glanced at Ye Xuanling, who knew that Ye Xuanling happened to be holding a wine glass to toast him at this moment, his face stiffened, and he quickly reacted, picked up the glass in front of him and saluted him back.

Qiao Nianxi looked at Ye Xuanling from a distance, and couldn't help pouting, if this person wants to be angry, it is a matter of minutes, and a single look can make a person's nose crooked, let alone speak.

When everyone had their own thoughts, Qiao Chuying was already sitting by the piano, delicately caressing the strings, but in private she was clenching her back molars, and tears were about to flow out.

The heavenly sound poured into everyone's ears, making people ignore the person who stroked the qin, only to feel that a passage was washed away in their hearts, and the distractions in their hearts were also blown away by the pure sound of the qin.

I have to say that Qiao Chuying's piano skills are really impeccable, and the sound of the piano awakens the nerves in everyone's ears, making people uncontrollably follow the music as if they were there.

Sometimes the tinkling is like the crispness of a mountain stream, and sometimes it is like a soft whisper of a flower, and everyone involuntarily closes their eyes and follows the sound of the piano, and their minds gradually calm down.

At the end of the song, everyone was stunned for a long time before they woke up from the dream-like song, and the hands that were ready to applaud were raised, and they suddenly remembered something, and turned their faces to look at the queen.

The queen's face was calm and did not change, and at the moment when everyone saw it, she casually held a cup of tea and drank it, without any intention of appreciation.

The movements of everyone's hands froze, and the hands that were raised subconsciously fell back, the queen didn't say okay, who didn't want to die first?

Qiao Chuying stood in place and trembled, tears in her eyes turned her and she couldn't help biting her lip, holding her breath to prevent tears from falling.

It's not that she wants to be strong, but she knows in her heart that it's okay to be generous now, and superfluous words and actions will only make the queen scratch her tail, which is another crime.

Next to him, Lin looked at his daughter's grievances, and he was also angry, and he wanted to rely on his identity as the master of this Fengyuan banquet to remind the queen, but he was dragged by Qiao Hongyuan before he could open it.

Looking up at Qiao Hongyuan's warning eyes, Lin Shi choked in his heart, swallowed back the words on his lips, and began to tremble with his hands clenched tightly.

No one spoke in the entire front hall, and it was quiet for a while, a little embarrassed, and everyone looked at each other at a loss, and their hearts were raised again.

The queen drank the tea unhurriedly, then raised her head to look in the direction of the dance floor, and saw that Qiao Chuying was still standing on the dance floor, her eyes were stunned, and she asked, "Why are you still here?"

The corners of Qiao Chuying's mouth twitched, her nose was crooked, and she was holding the piano pestle in her hand to support her body on the ground, almost fainting.

If you don't speak, where do I dare to leave? Aren't I still here!

I'm angry! I'm angry! I'm angry!

But in my heart, what can I do? People are high queens, can they afford to provoke them? Obviously, they can't afford to provoke them!

"Yes!" Qiao Chuying saluted the queen, her eyes were swollen, and she walked back in response, shaking her body twice with every step.

Qiao Nianxi sat on the side and looked at Qiao Chuying, a deep meaning flashed in her eyes, she turned her face to look in the direction of the prince, she didn't see what happened to the prince, but she saw Ye Xuanling raise her eyebrows at her.

Qiao Nianxi pursed his lips and threw Ye Xuanling a roll of his eyes before turning his face, and suddenly understood the careless intention of the face just now, it turned out that he had already known that the queen's target was Qiao Chuying!

After thinking about it, Qiao Nianxi breathed a long sigh of relief, and pursed the corners of her lips a little helplessly, all the royal people are stained with hair and can go up to the tree!

Originally, Qiao Nianxi's lips had nothing to do with Qiao Chuying, but at this time, Qiao Chuying's self-esteem was hurt and she was more sensitive, and she thought she was laughing at herself when she saw anyone laughing.

Thinking of the queen's attitude towards Qiao Nianxi just now, it was natural to think that the queen sprinkled the fire on Qiao Nianci on herself, and the grievances in her heart suddenly turned into resentment, and a ruthless color rushed out of the gaze with a knife.

Perhaps it was the vigilance that had been cultivated all year round that made Qiao Nianxi extremely thoughtful, and subconsciously turned her face, touching a touch of ruthlessness in her eyes, her heart sank, and she waved her hand and called Guiyun over.

After listening to Qiao Nianxi's words closely, Guiyun's eyes stayed on Qiao Chuying's face for a moment with a little meaning, and then turned to leave.

The queen was drinking tea in her seat, and she didn't pay attention to their small actions in private, and after drinking the tea, she turned her face to look at the people next to her, Lin and the old lady.

"This year, the performances of all the daughters are very exciting, and the palace will let Mama Guan reward later!"

The queen stopped in the middle of speaking, turned her face to look at the crowd, and saw that there seemed to be a little joy on their faces, and then said: "The time is almost up, let's leave this place to the young people, the ladies are going to report the account books!"

According to the rules of the Darui Dynasty, the female dependents of the high-ranking officials' families had to report what the families had done in their spare time to share the worries of the people and relieve the work of the officials, and they were also included in the assessment as the officials' political achievements.

"Yes!"

The ladies saluted the queen, and then took the account books that had been prepared long ago from the maids beside them.

"The guest house is ready, please move the queen!"

Lin listened to the queen's words, and hurriedly led everyone inside, and everyone respectfully bowed their heads to see the queen away, and for a while, the courtyard was a little clean.

When the queen left, the expression on Qiao Chuying's face burst out, and her gloomy gaze fell on Qiao Nianxi, and then the corners of her lips hooked up a touch of coldness, and she turned around and walked to the backyard.

From the glance just now, Qiao Nianxi observed this Qiao Chuying without a trace, and glanced sideways at the moment when she left, her eyes narrowed slightly and brought out a touch of essence, and the fruit brew in her hand was still sent to her lips, but her mind was spinning rapidly.

After the queen left with everyone, the main courtyard instantly seemed a little empty, basically half of the male guests and half of the female guests, because of the difference between men and women, after the queen left, a barrier was erected in the middle of the courtyard.

Qiao Nian was pulled over by Princess Ning and Gao Yun, and now they are sitting together chatting, and the young ladies who were originally gathered around Qiao Chuying didn't dare to come to her again when they saw the queen like this.

Turning his face and seeing Princess Ning and Gao Yun here, several bold people also came over, taking advantage of Qiao Nianxi's lack of friends to get into a relationship with her, so that the relationship with Princess Ning also increased a little.

Qiao Nianxi watched everyone change like this, sneering in her heart but not showing any performance, who can control the coldness of human affection?

Princess Ning has always been a person with a bold personality, and ordinary people can say a few words, not because she doesn't refuse to make friends, but because she has always been relatively peaceful, and there are few people she hates, except for the Qiao family, of course.

Qiao Nianxi didn't like such a noisy environment very much, so she coped with chatting with everyone for a while and then pulled Qiao Xinyu to a secluded corner.

The moon was beside Qiao Nianxi, but his eyes glanced at the moon gate from time to time.

"Guiyun went out for a while, and he hasn't come back yet, there must be some wonderful drama in the backyard!" Qiao Nianxi drank tea and said casually.

Sai Yue's eyes froze, and she turned her face to look at Qiao Nianxi: "Looking at the eldest lady's peaceful and harmless appearance, it turned out that it was all pretended, and the young lady's life in the Hou Mansion was really not steady!"

Qiao Xinyu heard Sai Yue say this, her face sank, and she turned her face to look at Qiao Nianxi, seeing that she was still calm and waveless, the corners of her lips moved, and she didn't speak after all.

As if realizing the look on Qiao Xinyu's face, Qiao Nianxi reached out and patted the back of her hand, and then turned to Saiyue with a disapproving expression: "With you and Guiyun by my side, what else can I not be steady?"

The master's trust made Sai Yue's heart bloom, and her chin rose up, bringing out a little smugness: "Miss rest assured, with me and Sister Guiyun here, even the Marquis of Zhenguo can't do anything, let alone these women." ”

Sacrificing the moon is really not bragging, not to mention how the two of them are martial arts, when they came to their side, Ye Xuanling had already given the two of them an execution order, and if someone dared to do something to Qiao Nian, the two of them could dispose of it themselves without even having to report it!

Qiao Nianxi didn't know this, but she also believed in the words of the moon, the corners of her lips hooked a brilliant arc, and the cup in her hand was about to be sent to her mouth, and she turned her face to see that Qiao Chuying, who had just gone out, had returned to the hall.

Different from when she went out just now, when Qiao Chuying came back, she had already returned to her usual brilliance with a smile on her face, and it was completely as if what happened before was an illusion and had not happened at all.

After being stunned for a moment, Qiao Nianxi lowered her head and took a sip of tea, thinking that Qiao Chuying would go to her little sisters, but she turned around and came to Princess Ning and Gao Yun.

"See Princess Ning, Lord Xuanbao. Qiao Chuying stepped forward and bowed, dignified and steady, and behaved generously.

Princess Ning was chatting with the people next to her excitedly, when she suddenly heard Qiao Chuying's voice, she was stunned for a moment, and her slightly narrowed eyes showed a bit of scrutiny: "Get up!"

Gao Yun was straighter, just raised his hand slightly towards Qiao Chuying, and then raised his head and drank the nectar in the wine ding, the whole process was chic and natural, but he didn't even look at Qiao Chuying.

Qiao Chuying's face froze for a moment, and soon covered up the unhappiness of that moment with a slight smile, and offered treasures: "Some time ago, I got a few blue impatiens, and it happened that they bloomed today, I heard that Princess Ning likes impatiens very much, and I invite you to watch them in your backyard." ”

When all the young ladies heard Qiao Chuying's words, their expressions changed slightly, and almost all the people present used impatiens juice as a pigment to smudge danko, but they were all red and pink flowers, but they had never heard of blue, which really aroused curiosity for a while.
