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

After sorting out the whole story of the Nian Sujiang incident, the general situation is that Nian Qiaoyue went to the palace early in the morning to pay her respects to the Queen, and brought a lot of embroidery with her, saying that she wanted to accompany the Queen to embroider to relieve her boredom. As a result, Concubine Ning also went to Zhongcui Palace, and the two of them ended up accompanying each other and laughing together.

Concubine Ning did not intend to cause trouble, and they got along quite harmoniously. As a result, Nian Qiaoyue brought trouble upon herself by embroidering two flower patterns, one of peony and the other of orchid.

Nian Qiaoyue gave the handkerchief with orchid pattern to the queen, which was not a big deal, but she gave the one with peony pattern to Concubine Ning. It is not known whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, but either way, she succeeded in angering the queen.

Peony is known as the "king of flowers", symbolizing wealth, good fortune, happiness and prosperity. The peony's elegance and luxury earn it the title of "queen of flowers".

There is a poem that says: "Only the peony is the true beauty of the country; the capital is moved when it blooms." This poem also expresses that the nobility of the peony and the status of the queen complement each other.

As luck would have it, Nian Qiaoyue recited this poem when she gave the handkerchief to Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning and the Queen did not get along well. Concubine Ning was favored and spoiled, and her status and power in the harem were comparable to that of the Queen.

Nian Qiaoyue's move was clearly an attempt to flatter Concubine Ning and step on the Queen. Although Concubine Ning did not say anything at the time, she smiled meaningfully and took the handkerchief embroidered with a peony pattern. The Queen was so angry that she almost ordered Nian Qiaoyue to be beaten to death on the spot.

Nian Su Su was speechless and angry.

Nian Qiaoyue still suffered from her lack of education.

Except for the Queen, no one in the harem dared to use the color of peony, and even poems and paintings related to it were not allowed to be involved. Nian Qiaoyue's words "Only the peony is the true national color, and the capital city is moved when the flowers bloom" sent herself to death.

If Concubine Ning had not been favored by the Emperor, the Empress would not have dared to do anything to her, otherwise Concubine Ning would have been implicated as well.

Yuzhu also felt that Nian Qiaoyue had done something stupid. She didn’t even dare to look at Nian Susu’s reaction after she finished speaking. She didn’t need to look because her face must be very embarrassed…

In silence, the carriage stopped outside Dongzhimen.

Nian Susu got off the carriage and walked to Zhongcui Palace with Yuzhu. They walked quickly and looked hurried, as if they were afraid of being late.

Yuzhu, in particular, was very nervous.

With an uneasy heart, they arrived at Zhongcui Palace, but it was very quiet inside. It was not like what Yuzhu said, that the Queen was furious and wanted to beat Nian Qiaoyue to death.

Nian Susu asked the palace maid guarding the gate to go in and pass the message. After a while, the palace maid came out and said that Queen Gou Feng was ill and could not see guests, and asked her to come again another day.

Both of them knew that it was just an excuse, and the Queen did not give Nian Susu a chance to plead for Nian Qiaoyue.

Yuzhu was so anxious that she burst into tears, "What should I do, Miss? Is there really no way to save the Second Miss?"

The most important thing is where did Nian Qiaoyue go? Is she still alive? Why is there no one in Zhongcui Palace?

Nian Susu was upset. She was already annoyed by walking from Dongzhimen to Zhongcui Palace under the scorching sun, and now she had to make a wasted trip. How could she be willing to accept this?

Besides, her mission was not yet completed, and she didn't want to experience the feeling of electric shock again in her life.

Nian Susu secretly gave the palace maid a silver ingot and asked her to pass the message again and also asked her to convey a message to the queen.

The maid hesitated. How could she dare to disobey the queen? If she said she would not see him, she would not see him. If she continued to bother him, she might lose her life.

But Nian Susu said, "If I don't see the queen today and delay important matters, you will be the one who suffers."

The little palace maid was indeed shaken. Nian Susu approached her and whispered, "Tell the queen this... Just say that Prime Minister Nian asked me to take the second Miss Nian back to the palace, and the queen will definitely meet me."

The little maid gritted her teeth, accepted the ingot of silver, and said with determination: "Okay! But this is the last time! If the queen still refuses to see the young lady, please don't embarrass me."

Nian Susu gave a gentle smile, "Of course."

The little palace maid entered the palace again. Not long after, she came out with a look of surprise on her face. "Miss, the queen wants to see you."

Nian Susu breathed a sigh of relief. She asked Yuzhu to wait outside the hall and went in alone.

As soon as you enter the hall, you can smell the eternal scent of benzoin, and the floor-standing screen with a picture of birds paying homage to the phoenix looks so dull and heavy.

She had no time to observe the magnificence of the palace. She walked straight to the queen and knelt down without saying a word.

She bent her waist slightly, lowered her head and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, I know everything about Sister Qiao Yue's behavior. It was my fault. If I hadn't asked her to come to the palace to accompany Your Majesty to relieve her boredom, she wouldn't have caused trouble. If she hadn't caused trouble, Your Majesty wouldn't have been angry."

"Don't be angry, my lady. Your health is more important."

"Your Highness, please don't blame Sister Qiao Yue. If there is any punishment or beating, I will take the responsibility for it. It was me who asked my sister to come to see Your Highness. Please forgive her, and I will take the punishment for her."

The conversation was smooth and fluent.

Nian Susu has mastered all kinds of scapegoating lines. No matter what, as long as she protects Nian Qiaoyue from being punished, her mission will be considered a success.

The queen remained silent for a long while.

Nian Susu couldn't help but want to look up to see her reaction, but he forced himself to hold back.

The queen is a shrewd woman. At the same time, her eyes are penetrating, as if she can see through everything in the world, including people's hearts.

Nian Susu was afraid that if he looked into her eyes, he would immediately lose the fight, so fortunately he kept his head down and was able to hide his emotions.

After a long while, the queen suddenly chuckled. Nian Susu looked up in surprise. The queen laughed even more happily and covered her face with a handkerchief.

"What are you laughing at, Madam?" Nian Susu asked with a frown.

The laughter gradually became calm and disdainful, "Miss Nian, how many times have you blocked a knife for Miss Nian Er? Can you count them yourself?"

Nian Susu was startled, but she still tried to pretend nothing happened, "What are you talking about, Madam? I don't understand."

Did the Queen discover that she had to take the blame for Nian Qiaoyue every time? According to the ancients' thinking, it was the system that was causing trouble. So how did the Queen view her and Nian Qiaoyue?

The Queen smiled, "Miss Nian, there's no need to play dumb. Once is a coincidence, twice is a spur of the moment thing, but three or five times is weird, don't you think?"

Nian Susu’s back stiffened and he suddenly became nervous.

The Queen was a wise and thoughtful person. Since she said these words, she was absolutely sure of them. Any further denial would seem fake and would make things even more obvious.

It would be better to follow her lead and find out how much the queen actually knows.

Nian Susu was sad and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that Her Majesty would find out about this. It shows that Her Majesty is very thoughtful and meticulous."

"I did bear many charges for my sister, but it was all because I felt guilty towards her."

She raised her eyes and quickly glanced at the queen. Seeing the queen say "Oh" with interest, she continued, "Our Nian family owes her a lot, so I want to compensate her in other ways."
