Chapter 76: I Don't Know Anything
Qiao Nianxi's face sank, and the hand holding the grapes froze in the air, and a sentence floated out of his mind uncontrollably: Can you still let people eat grapes well!
After all, the queen is the most powerful woman in the country, and Qiao Nian regrets not expecting to climb her origami phoenix, nor will she kill herself.
After thinking quickly, Qiao Nianxi put back the grapes in his hand, stood up, walked to the queen and knelt down.
"Courtiers, see the queen mother!"
knelt down, but Qiao Nianxi obviously didn't have a trace of cowardice and nervousness in his voice, and even, after kneeling, he actually looked up at the queen.
The queen didn't raise her head, no one dared to look directly at its majesty, Qiao Nianxi raised her head and scared everyone to tremble!
The Qiao family was even more frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and they didn't dare to breathe!
Not to mention that the old lady and Qiao Hongyuan were nervous, the Lin family was in a hurry, although she usually hated this unlucky child, but this Fengyuan banquet was planned by her after all, no matter what, Qiao Nianxi was a child of the Hou Mansion, and if something happened, it would still fall on her.
Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look, waiting for the queen's anger with a heart hanging as if they were waiting for the knife to fall before they died, but they didn't hear the sound for a long time, and glanced up, but saw that the queen's face was not as cold as imagined, but just looked at Qiao Nianxi with her eyes.
The more calm they were, the more nervous everyone became, and their hearts shrank into a ball in an instant!
After Qiao Nianxi looked up for a moment, the queen quickly regained her composure, looking at her face, she somehow felt like she was being restrained.
This child looks simple and clear, her eyes are clear to the bottom, but she is not the kind that can be controlled, somehow, the more she wants to see something on her face, the more she will lose herself in the rippling waves!
It's a kind of magic, the magic of being spied inside by her!
Realizing this, the queen subconsciously avoided her gaze, gathered her thoughts and raised her hand slightly: "Calm down, today is a family banquet, don't be too formal, speaking of which, the palace still has some relationship with several masters of the Hanguang Temple, so you can come and talk to the palace when you are free!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at the queen in disbelief!
Why didn't the queen get angry? Why didn't she deal with Qiao Nianxi? Forget it, why did she still reward her!
Everyone was surprised, Qiao Nian was puzzled, he obviously saw indifference to himself from the queen's eyes, but why did he behave so closely?
Knowing that there was no room for refusal, Qiao Nianxi didn't think much about it anymore, and hurriedly responded: "Yes!"
The queen's gaze swept over Qiao Nianxi again, waved her hand to get her up, and turned her gaze to the performance on the dance floor again.
Qiao Chuying's originally gloating face was also stiff, but they couldn't help but believe what they saw, and their unwillingness rose from the bottom of their hearts, and the hatred in their eyes was even stronger!
Qiao Nianxi got up, didn't care about everyone's eyes at all, and sat on the seat next to her with the queen's hand, just not far from Princess Ning and Gao Yun.
Sit firmly, looking up, just to see Ye Xuanling's face still blinking at her with the usual expression of a little evil, Qiao Nianxi blinked the corner of his lips and blinked in the same way, reached out and picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.
At the moment when everyone's mood was exchanged, the solo dance performed by Sun Shujun, the eldest lady of Sun Shangshu's mansion, had just come to an end, and when the song was finished, I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and there was an instant sound.
The queen nodded with satisfaction and praised Sun Shujun a few words, as if she remembered something, and turned her face to look at Qiao Nianxi.
"All the daughters of the high-ranking families have prepared programs for this Fengyuan banquet, have you prepared too?"
The queen's voice was calm, and she turned her face sideways to ask Qiao Nianxi, her face was still calm and majestic, so that people couldn't tell if she was asking casually or had something else.
"Back to the queen's mother, I regret that I haven't prepared any programs. Qiao Nian was really sorry, and he didn't give him any excuse, so he just said no.
The corners of the queen's lips twitched, the expression on her face did not change, but there was a hint of exploration in her eyes, I have to say that to a certain extent, Qiao Nianxi and Ye Xuanling are really a little similar, no wonder Ye Xuanling would choose her instead of Ji Yangyu!
Everyone was also stunned for a moment, and their eyes secretly wandered on the faces of the queen and Qiao Nianxi, as we all know, Qiao Nianxi grew up in Hanguang Temple since she was a child, even if she studied temporarily, she was afraid that it would not be eye-catching, could it be difficult for her to chant on the spot?
Thinking like this in their hearts, everyone couldn't help but quiet down, I don't know why, I always feel that there will be a good show between the queen and Qiao Nianxi!
The queen froze for a moment and her eyes fell on Qiao Nianxi again, and when her eyes touched the head of the brocade crown and feathers she was wearing, the expression between her eyes flashed quickly, and she asked, "Do you know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
Qiao Nianxi's mind quickly swirled around the concept of "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting" in the queen's mouth, although she had an idea in her heart, but in the end, her words were a little helpless: "I know a little bit about it, but I can't count it as a master." ”
If it is in modern times, this question can be answered directly without thinking about it, but she will know modern musical instruments, modern chess, stick figure illustration and hard pen calligraphy, well, she will also calligraphy and painting, but who knows what the concept of calligraphy and painting in this era is?
Therefore, it is better not to boast if you are not sure, this is Qiao Nianxi's habit of talking and doing things.
The queen was a little unsure when she heard Qiao Nianxi's "know a little bit about it", her eyelids moved without a trace, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "What books do you usually read?"
At this time, Qiao Nianxi seemed to hear something from the queen's question, and seemed to bow her head to think, but her eyes quietly glanced at Ye Xuanling, but she didn't want this thing to shake at her with a wine glass!
Qiao Nianxi's face darkened, and he couldn't wait to slap him in the face!
Helpless, Qiao Nianxi had no choice but to calm down, and searched the memories in the original owner's mind, and went through the books that appeared one by one.
The queen only listened and didn't speak, and inadvertently glanced sideways at Ye Xuanling, and quickly retracted her gaze, thinking a little more in her heart.
Everyone listened to the questions asked by the queen and Qiao Nianxi, and secretly had some thoughts.
I saw Ye Xuanling's attitude towards Qiao Nianxi holding it in the palm of her hand before, but now the queen's question sentence by sentence is obviously the rhythm of choosing a daughter-in-law for Ye Xuanling!
However, Qiao Nianxi's answer, with the criteria for choosing a good relationship, even the nobles of the high-ranking families present were not satisfied, let alone the queen!
Thinking in their hearts, everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at Ye Xuanling, originally thinking that he would be nervously paying attention to the situation here.
However, the great god is like no one, he doesn't drink anymore, he has replaced it with an elephant bone fan in his hand, and he is swaying around with or without a pair, and I don't know if there is wind or not.
The queen just didn't pay attention to Ye Xuanling, and asked Qiao Nianxi a few questions one after another, Qiao Nianxi replied unhurriedly, no, no, I don't know, I don't know, I definitely don't add a little burden to myself.
The old lady watched from the side, her face gradually became unsightly, she originally had a little thought about Qiao Nianxi and Ye Xuanling, but now listening to the question and answer of the queen and Qiao Nianxi, that heart kept sinking, until there was no room for sinking anymore, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
Born with this fate, the most plugged hair is a pheasant, and it can't become a phoenix!
Not only the old lady, but all the people's faces are constantly changing, especially the three parents, their faces are like rainbows, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple all turn around, that is called a colorful!
Qiao Nianxi had already seen the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Qiao family, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, family affection, this family is the least valuable!
At the end of the question, the queen's face was also a little tense, and she sighed and said, "Tell the palace, what lessons do you have to study in Hanguang Temple?"
The queen forced her noble demeanor, reached out and picked up a glass of fruit brew, and took a shallow sip to her lips, covering the expression on her face as if she were disguised.
Qiao Nianxi raised her head, her delicate face was full of aura, her eyes rolled around, and she replied crisply: "Meditate!"
Burst!
The queen almost squirted out as soon as she drank this fruit brew, but fortunately, the grandmother next to her supported her in time, so she didn't lose her demeanor.
Qiao Hongyuan's legs and stomach turned, and he almost pumped over, glaring at Qiao Nian, who couldn't wait to throw her back into the mellow fragrance garden now!
Is she here to smash the field? Why is she so unreasonable!
Qiao Nianxi didn't care what others thought, Yu Guang saw enough of the expressions on everyone's faces, the corners of his lips hooked, and he smiled brightly at the queen: "The daily homework of the courtiers in Hanguang Temple is to meditate, chant and excerpt scriptures, pray for the happiness and health of the elders in the family, and pray for the peace of the country and the people of my Darui Dynasty. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces were stunned again, originally Qiao Nian dared to collide with the queen without a long brain, but listening to her later words, she had to admire this child's ingenuity.
People have been in the temple for so many years, what homework do you want people to learn?
Ye Xuanling raised his sword eyebrows lightly, the elephant bone fan in his hand was still fanned with a match, and his slightly squinted eyes hooked a touch of evil charm, which was clearly saying: "How can you ordinary people like you guess the cherished thoughts of our family?"
As relaxed as Ye Xuanling, there were Princess Ning and Gao Yun next to them, the two of them were still nervous, but listening to Qiao Nianxi's response, they gradually relaxed their hearts, and in the end, they even held melon seeds in their hands and watched the play while snorting!
Especially Qiao Nianxi's sentence of "meditating" just now, Princess Ning almost didn't sit down and laughed, Emma, this kid is too talented!
However, after all, the queen is the mother of the country, and Princess Ning is usually unrestrained, and she has to save some face for the queen outside, so she finally held back, but looking at Qiao Nianxi's eyes added a touch of ambiguity, this girl is even more fun than Gao Yun!
The queen twitched the corner of her mouth, only to feel that her heart stopped beating in an instant, she should have been annoyed, but Qiao Nian regretted that the words behind her made her angry.
"It's rare that you have this heart. ”
After all, the queen is a woman who lives in the harem, no matter how much her heart is churning, her face still remains indifferent, she quickly regained her calm, and sighed without pain: "Speaking of which, the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion is also a loyal minister of our dynasty for several generations, and it is reasonable to have a righteous child like you." ”
After all, today's Fengyuan banquet is in the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion, and the queen is thoughtful, no matter how she gives this credit to the Zhenguo Hou, he has to know how to be grateful and informed.
