After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Nian Qiaoyue was used to these words, so even though she felt aggrieved, she managed to remain calm. She didn't take the dirty words seriously, just like the wind blowing past her ears.

But she clenched her ten fingers hidden under her wide sleeves into fists, and secretly swore in her heart that one day, she would trample all these people under her feet!

This idea, like her fist, was hidden in her sleeve, and no one knew about it except herself.

She still smiled and took a few steps forward, "Dear sisters..."

She wanted to get along with them in a friendly manner and put on a superficial effort, but the girls were unwilling to maintain this superficial relationship with her. As soon as she moved forward, they stepped back, and their movements were very consistent.

Several old friends also kept their distance at this time, not daring to look her in the eye, for fear of being associated with her.

No matter how strong Nian Qiaoyue's mind is, she can't stick to others even when they are despised and looked down upon.

She suppressed her anger and walked towards the empty space.

Nian Susu dared to get off the car only after he heard that there was no more noise outside.

But as soon as she got down to the ground, the girls rushed up and even Zhihua was squeezed out, which was in stark contrast to the treatment she received from Nian Qiaoyue.

"Miss Nian! I heard that you beat the person who spread the rumor in the street, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face. He was beaten to a pulp and cried out in pain! Is that true?"

"Your version is obviously false! How could Miss Nian, a lady from a noble family, use violence? It was clearly Miss Nian who moved the slut who spread the rumors with emotion and reason, and she kowtowed to Miss Nian and admitted her fault in public!"

"What? You didn't hear the whole story. I heard that Miss Nian not only cleared up the rumors for herself, but also wanted to prove her sister's innocence. Who would have thought that the person who had a secret meeting was Miss Nian Er! Not only is her innocence gone, but she is also convicted of a crime! Miss Nian was so angry that she fainted!"

"Yes, yes, I heard about it too. Miss Nian reprimanded Miss Nian II in public, saying that she had ruined the reputation of the Xiangfu and insulted the Nian family's tradition. Miss Nian II not only refused to admit her fault, but also started to curse at her! Miss Nian fainted from anger."

Years: ...

She finally understood why rumors became more and more outrageous. Not only did bad things become worse, but good things also became more and more outrageous.

If the story continues like this, she will probably be transformed into a goddess from the Ninth Heaven who comes down to earth to reform evil men and women.

Nian Susu didn't faint at that time, but Nian Qiaoyue was really about to faint from anger. She had also seen the horror of rumors, no wonder Nian Susu's story was spread so badly at that time. Now the situation has turned around and it has come back to her?

Nian Qiaoyue lost her balance and nearly fell down, luckily there was a tree nearby for her to hold on to.

Nian Susu responded with a few words with a fake smile, then squeezed out of the crowd of girls as if escaping for his life, and ran away with Zhihua, fearing that he would be entangled again.

A group of frail young ladies from aristocratic families stood in the autumn wind outside Dongzhimen for half an hour, and finally the eunuch came to summon them.

The crowd suddenly quieted down. They formed two teams and followed the eunuchs in silence towards Qinghui Palace.

Their mouths were shut, but their hearts were restless. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night and the dim lights in the palace corridor, they quietly adjusted their dresses that were wrinkled by the wind and straightened the hairpins on their heads that were slightly off-center. A silent competition unfolded in the silent palace corridor.

Nian Su Su is very contented. He doesn't care whether his hair is messy or not, nor does he care whether he is outdone by others.

She was only worried about what to do if Nian Qiaoyue asked her to ask the emperor for a marriage.

The group arrived at the gate of Qinghui Palace, which was brightly lit, with melodious string and bamboo music, creating a scene of prosperity and singing and dancing.

The emperor sat on a high platform, and his ministers sat below him.

The girls found their fathers' seats and sat behind them.

Nian Su Su naturally sits side by side with Nian Qiao Yue behind Nian Cheng Yun.

Nian Chengyun was a high-ranking official, so he sat near the front, close to the emperor. Opposite him was Qin Junyu, and to the left of Qin Junyu was the youngest fifth prince, to the right was the second prince, and to the right were the third prince and the fourth prince.

The emperor couldn't help but say some polite words, but Nian Susu was not in the mood to listen. He raised his eyes and looked at the princes opposite him.

The second prince, Qin Guanqing, was handsome, with a teardrop mole under his right eye. He looked like a "modest gentleman, gentle as jade", but he sat in a heroic posture, with one leg crossed and the other raised. He picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth. The wine splashed out from the corner of his mouth, and he wiped it with his sleeve without caring about his image.

The fourth prince Qin Siyi, it is most appropriate to describe him as "broad-minded and fat". Ever since he entered the palace, he has been grinning with his teeth bared. This kind of naivety cannot be faked. Although his appearance is not outstanding, his temperament should be likable.

The fifth prince, Qin Wenyuan, was only ten years old, but he had a calm and mature temperament. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he looked calm. Sitting next to Qin Junyu, the two brothers were simply cast in the same mold. Not only did they have the same pair of evil phoenix eyes, but even their depressed temperaments were exactly the same.

After such observation, Nian Susu found that Qin Junyu and his fifth brother had a good relationship. According to the seniority, the fifth prince should be after the fourth prince, but now he is sitting next to Qin Junyu. The two of them would talk to each other from time to time. Although both of them had no expression on their faces, there were not many people who could talk to Qin Junyu.

After the emperor finished his opening remarks, a burst of congratulations rang out. It was obvious that he was referring to the war in southern Xinjiang.

Nian Susu went with the flow, stood up, raised his glass to toast, and sat down again.

After the Emperor had finished his performance, it was the Empress' turn.

"In addition to celebrating our army's great victory and defeating the enemy, this palace banquet has another purpose." The queen smiled.

The ladies were so nervous that their hearts almost burst. They had heard something before they came - the emperor was going to choose wives for several princes. That's why they dressed up in a unique way, trying to outshine the others.

Now that the Queen was about to announce the news, even if they knew it in advance, they couldn't help but get excited.

The queen glanced at the ladies and saw that they were looking forward to it, so she did not keep them in suspense. "Among the princes, except for the fifth prince, they are all old enough to get married. Your Majesty and I are going to select princesses and concubines for the princes from among the ladies.

Of course, appearance and family background are secondary, the most important thing is character and talent."

Nian Su Su smacked his lips and said, "Just listen to this."

"I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I know very little about you ladies. I can't even call your names, let alone know your personalities. If any girl is willing to come forward and show her talent so that I can get to know her better, I will reward her generously, regardless of whether she is good or not."

To put it nicely, it is a display of talent; to put it bluntly, it is self-recommendation. If you have the chance to be noticed by the prince, you can rise to a high position overnight.

After the queen finished speaking, the palace fell silent for a moment.

The girls naturally wanted to take this opportunity to show themselves off, eager to try, but no one wanted to be the first, as that would be too unreserved and unworthy of a lady.
