After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen
Chapter 222 The future sister-in-law dare not offend
She believed that her son was not the type to judge people by their appearance, so the young girl must be an interesting person.
That day, Xin Jieyu and Qin Wenyuan mentioned taking him to Shanlin Temple to stay for half a month. Qin Wenyuan agreed after hesitating for a moment, but he had a request - he wanted Nian Susu to go with them.
Concubine Xin didn't understand how a prince raised in the palace got to know Miss Nian, who lived in seclusion in the boudoir, and why Yuan'er was so persistent in taking her along.
If it was about love between a man and a woman, she had never thought about it in that way, after all, her son was only eleven years old. But if it was for other reasons... she really couldn't guess.
There are really not many people in Shengjing who can interest Yuan'er, and she becomes more and more curious about Nian Susu.
"Sister, I want to go too." Nian Qiaoyue pulled Nian Susu's sleeve.
If she could get along well with Concubine Xin, she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to marry Prince Qing in the future.
After all, Concubine Xin was deeply loved by the emperor and had a fifth prince, so her status was second only to the empress and Concubine Ning.
Nian Susu glanced at her with disdain and said, "I can't make the decision. You should ask the emperor to come."
Every time Nian Qiaoyue shows up, something bad is bound to happen, so she doesn't want to bring a troublemaker along.
Nian Qiaoyue moved closer to her and acted coquettishly towards her: "Sister, can you help me talk to the emperor, please?"
Nian Susu was about to refuse, but the system, which had been dormant for a long time, jumped out and reminded her as if a key word had been triggered: [The host cannot refuse any request from Nian Qiaoyue. ]
Years: ...
"it is good."
She resigned herself to helping Nian Qiaoyue ask the emperor for a place.
With her taking the lead, other girls also became eager to try, wanting to take this opportunity to get close to the Fifth Prince. Maybe they could get to know other princes indirectly, and then they wouldn't have to worry about their lifelong affairs.
Originally, only Nian Susu went with them, but in the end, there were several people going along.
Li Yaoyuan was persuaded to go by Nian Susu with all his might. Xiao Yunzheng loved to make trouble, so she was the first one to raise her hand to follow.
Wang Yuejiao was originally crying and heartbroken, but somehow, when she heard that Xiao Yunzheng was going, she signed up as well.
The emperor was afraid that if this continued, all the girls in Shengjing would have to accompany him, so he quickly decided to select these few people, and others would have no chance to go.
The topic quickly turned elsewhere.
A smile appeared on Qin Wenyuan's face, which was always as calm as still water. He picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. The sweetness spread on the tip of his tongue. At first he thought it tasted good, but soon he no longer thought so. He frowned and swallowed it with difficulty, and drank several sips of tea before he suppressed the feeling of nausea.
"If you don't like it, why force yourself to eat it?" Qin Junyu said slowly, his flat tone making it impossible to tell his emotion.
Qin Wenyuan put the remaining half of the peach blossom cake back and wiped the crumbs from his fingertips with a handkerchief. He said, "My royal brother likes it. I want to taste what it tastes like that makes my royal brother love it so much."
He took a sip of tea, "I've tasted it, how is it?"
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Nian Susu and sighed meaningfully, "Tsk, not good. I tried it once before and thought it tasted just average. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Seeing that my brother likes it more and more, I can't help but wonder if I ate it too fast and didn't have time to taste its sweetness."
He looked at Qin Junyu and smiled a rare childish smile, "For my brother, I want to learn more about what makes this peach blossom pastry so special."
Qin Junyu sneered and shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of pampering, "It's up to you, just don't go too far."
Qin Wenyuan muttered softly: "Don't worry, I dare not offend the future emperor's sister-in-law."
Qin Guanqing took two pots of wine and came over to drink with Qin Junyu, bumping into his right shoulder.
"Hiss..." He covered his right shoulder, frowned and leaned back. The pain was excruciating, and he felt as if the wound that had not yet healed was torn again.
"If you use any more force, all the bones will be broken." Qin Junyu pushed Qin Guanqing away, sat up straight, and rubbed his right shoulder with his left hand.
"It's not that exaggerated." Qin Guanqing didn't take it seriously, and stuffed a pot of wine into his hand. He said in a long and coquettish tone, "You've been chatting with Xiaowu for so long, why don't you accompany your second brother?"
Qin Junyu got goose bumps all over his body. "If you feel that life is too easy, I will ask my father to change his mind and marry Miss Wang to you."
The enemy was defeated with one move, and Qin Guanqing fled in panic as if he had seen a ghost.
Qin Wenyuan couldn't help laughing, he just smiled once and immediately put on a cold attitude.
"A little kid with a smart mind." This is how his older brother describes him.
After the banquet, Nian Susu and Nian Qiaoyue left Qinghui Palace together, while Nian Chengyun was kept by the emperor to discuss matters.
As soon as she left the house, Xiao Yunzheng hurriedly caught up with her, "Lingling, wait a moment!"
She ran to Nian Susu to catch her breath, and when she saw Nian Qiaoyue was there, her face immediately turned dark.
"Why are you here too?" Xiao Yunzheng did not hide her disdain and disgust.
Nian Qiaoyue's face turned red and blue because of her obvious attitude, but she couldn't get angry. She could only force a fake smile and said, "Miss Xiao, I came here with my sister, so of course we have to go back together."
Xiao Yunzheng sneered and rolled her eyes, "You're calling me sister so affectionately, how shameless!"
Although Nian Susu never mentioned it, she had not forgotten how Nian Qiaoyue had spoken ill of Nian Susu behind his back. This man was vicious and scheming. She didn't like him and was even more disdainful of flattering him.
The fact that Nian Qiaoyue was able to pretend to be a loving sister to Nian Susu after hurting her really made her look at her in a new light - she had never seen anyone with such a thick skin!
When people passing by heard Xiao Yunzheng swearing, they all looked at her sideways. Nian Qiaoyue felt so ashamed that she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Nian Susu saved her from the dire situation by saying "Wait for me outside". She didn't want to be caught and scolded by Xiao Yunzheng, so she picked up her skirt and ran away.
Xiao Yunzheng still felt unsatisfied and spat at her back twice.
Nian Susu laughed at her: "You, it's okay to say a few harsh words to Nian Qiaoyue, but you can't say anything you don't want to say in front of the emperor and the queen."
Xiao Yunzheng responded perfunctorily. She didn't call her over to listen to her lecture.
After pulling her to a more secluded corner, Xiao Yunzheng held her arm, looked serious, and said in a heavy tone: "My brother... has a few words that he wants you to convey to Yao Yuan."
Speaking of these two people, Nian Susu's heart sank, and sadness surged up.
"Well, you said."
She sighed, "Brother originally wanted to tell Yao Yuan in person, but now... he is afraid that if someone sees it, it will affect Yao Yuan's reputation, so he can only ask you for help."
Originally, she could also serve as a mouthpiece, but as Xiao Jianting's sister, she really didn't know what identity to use to convey the message to Li Yaoyuan, so she could only ask Nian Susu for help.
She raised her eyes, her gaze clear, and said each word sincerely: "I'm sorry."
Nian Su Su was still waiting for the next part, but this is all there is to it.
"Is that it?"
"Um, sorry," she repeated.
Thinking of Xiao Jianting's tone and expression when he said these two words, Xiao Yunzheng felt heartbroken.
She had never seen such a lonely expression on her brother's face before. Helplessness, unwillingness, anger, compromise... The complex emotions seemed to pass through his heart in a very short time, and in the end, only compromise was left...
In the hearts of Xiao Yunzheng and Xiao Helin, Xiao Jianting is tall, tough, and steady. No matter how big the problem is, as long as he is there, there is nothing to worry about. This sense of security is something that even their father cannot give them.
It was such a mountain that collapsed tonight.
Xiao Yunzheng was worried, but she didn't know how to comfort people. She was afraid that saying something wrong would make her brother even more unhappy, so she could only watch him drown his sorrows in alcohol.
"Lingling, my brother...he doesn't want to marry Wang Yuejiao, nor does he like Wang Yuejiao. He...he agreed to this marriage out of necessity." Xiao Yunzheng was anxious to explain to her, but she always felt that her words were not clear enough. When the words came to her lips, she was completely unable to express the strong emotions in her heart.
Perhaps he wanted to find someone to talk to, or perhaps he wanted to let Li Yaoyuan know Xiao Jianting's feelings through Nian Susu. Xiao Yunzheng had never felt so urgent before.
