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

Given Nian Qiaoyue's flexible personality, she would definitely wear Yang Yuerong's clothes and use the jewelry she gave her.

No matter how much you grudge, you can't lose face.

The carriage stopped outside Xihua Gate, and voices could be heard outside through the curtains.

Nian Susu was helped out of the car by Zhihua.

Many young ladies have already arrived, and they are accompanied by at least four or five maids.

They gathered in groups of three or four, some discussing the princess of Xisu Kingdom, some trying to guess the emperor's intentions, and most of them were secretly comparing beauties.

Nian Susu thought that she was eye-catching enough in her satin skirt with cloud pattern, but she didn't expect that she would become the simplest one among the group of girls.

They seemed to be here to participate in a beauty pageant, not to welcome the Princess of Xisu.

But it is understandable. Who asked that princess to see the grace of the women of Liuli Country? If they don't dress up nicely, wouldn't they be laughed at by other countries?

Yang Yuerong had the same idea, so she dressed Nian Susu up gorgeously. However, considering that it was a state banquet and she couldn't steal the limelight too much, she dressed her in a luxurious yet low-key manner.

She couldn't imagine that other young ladies were all ostentatious in wearing gold and silver, and compared with that group of gorgeous girls, Nian Susu had a kind of elegant and noble feeling.

Nian Qiaoyue appeared behind Nian Susu at some point and spoke quietly:

"Sister, you are so beautiful, especially the golden crown on your head. I am really envious of you."

This sounds sour.

Nian Susu turned around slowly. Because her crown would fall off if she lowered her head, she could only straighten her back and neck and look down at her sister who was being sarcastic to her.

In Nian Qiaoyue's view, she was deliberately putting on airs, acting like the dignified and graceful daughter of the prime minister's family.

"My sister is also beautiful. As for this golden crown...it is beautiful, but it depends on who is wearing it."

She retorted in a veiled way. Since she wants to be sarcastic, don't blame her for being rude!

Nian Susu raised her hand and stroked the ruby ​​on the crown, with a faint smile on her lips, "Ah, sister, I'm not talking about you. I'm saying that if this crown is worn by little girl Zhihua, it will definitely not suit her."

Zhihua was a heartless person. She didn't understand what the lady meant, and she didn't think the lady was belittling her. She smiled and replied:

"Yes, this golden crown was originally ordinary, but it became ordinary after it was worn on the lady's head..." She couldn't think of any words to praise the compatibility between the golden crown and the beautiful face, and after holding it in for a long time, she finally uttered the word "beautiful".

Nian Susu was amused by her and wrinkled his nose at Zhihua.

Nian Qiaoyue had been ridiculed many times, but this was the first time she was embarrassed in front of so many young ladies from aristocratic families.

Nian Susu spoke without reservation, so the ladies next to her naturally heard it and laughed at her secretly with their handkerchiefs covering their mouths.

Nian Qiaoyue didn't want to feel more embarrassed, so she left with a cold face and went to play with her little sisters.

Just as one was sent away, a large group came.

Because of Nian Qiaoyue's words, the girls standing near Nian Susu all noticed the golden crown inlaid with kingfisher feathers and pearls on her head. They came forward to express their envy and praised her for her good looks. They inadvertently used her status as a legitimate or illegitimate child to belittle Nian Qiaoyue in an attempt to make Nian Susu happy.

Nian Susu dealt with it with a fake smile until her father-in-law came to call the girls in, and she was finally free.

The welcoming banquet was held in Qinghui Hall. The emperor sat on the dragon throne on a high platform, the empress sat at the lower left, and at the lower right was the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Ning.

When the girls went in, everyone was already there.

Nian Susu stood in the front row, and on her left was the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Shen Jiangyue, a delicate beauty from the south of the Yangtze River.

The rest of the people followed them and filed into the hall.

They first paid their respects to the Emperor and the Empress, then to all the ministers. Finally, the Emperor asked them to come forward one by one and greet the Princess of Xisu.

Nian Su Su is the first one.

She straightened her body, with a faint smile on her face, and walked in front of the Princess of Xisu. Finally, she had the chance to see the true face of the Princess of Xisu.

People said Xisu was a dry place, but the princess was very pretty, with a round face and a brocade belt on her forehead, on which hung chains made of various jewels.

This will form a small half face curtain, covering the left forehead and left eye.

She was wearing the traditional costume of Xisu, a mink coat and a long jacket with a lapel and tight sleeves.

Nian Susu lowered his eyes calmly, stood still, and performed the courtesy that was shown to equals.

Tayali tilted her head to look at her, "You are very beautiful, what is your name?"

She spoke the Central Plains dialect not very fluently and her choice of words was not elegant, so it seemed very impolite.

As soon as these words came out, the palace was already full of discussions, and the emperor raised his hand and pressed it to signal them to be quiet. Talia didn't think there was anything wrong with her words.

Nian Susu smiled and said, "Princess, I am the Prime Minister's daughter, Nian Susu."

Tayari gave an innocent smile, "You are the most beautiful among them, I like you."

After that, he raised his glass to her and drank it all in one gulp.

The palace maid also came forward with wine and handed it to Nian Susu.

Nian Susu was also very generous and drank it in one gulp.

She doesn't have any hobbies, she just likes to drink a little wine.

When the other girls heard that Tayali spoke so highly of Nian Susu, they felt jealous and dissatisfied.

Nian Susu is beautiful, but they are no less beautiful.

So in the following meeting, they used various tricks, but Tayari kept a stern face, which made the ministers unhappy. Some of the ministers' daughters were among them, and they felt even more embarrassed.

After the girls finished their greetings and sat down, someone expressed dissatisfaction.

The first to bear the brunt of the criticism was the Dali Temple Minister, "They all say that the people of Xisu are barbaric, neither knowing nor observing etiquette. This old minister saw it today and it is indeed true."

The Assistant Minister of Works continued, "I second the motion! Those present are all prominent families and important officials in the court. Our daughter came to greet the princess, but the princess didn't even smile back. What does that mean? Does she look down on our Liuli Country?" He slammed the table in anger, making a loud noise, and the palace maids serving him knelt down behind him.

"Your Majesty, the princess's attitude has shown that the Xisu Kingdom does not take the Liuli Kingdom seriously. In my opinion, this is not a tribute! It is a declaration of war!" The Minister of the Central Secretariat had a hot temper and spoke bluntly. With just one sentence, the relationship between the two countries became strained.

As the prime minister, Nian Chengyun should be in charge of the situation, but these ministers were dissatisfied because the princess gave their daughter the cold shoulder.

So what was he unhappy about? Was he unhappy that the princess praised his daughter for being beautiful?

The little bit of pride that Nian Chengyun had just had was now scared away.

As the person involved, Tayali seemed to not understand what they were saying, or she simply didn't take them seriously.

He continued to eat meat and drink wine with big mouthfuls, and no matter how angry they got, he didn't even raise his eyelids.

This made the ministers even angrier.

Qin Fengtian watched his nose and his heart, nervously leaned towards Nian Susu, and asked in a low voice: "Miss Nian, they won't fight, right?"

Nian Susu glanced at him and said, "No."

Her seat was actually next to Qin Fengtian. She looked up at the queen who was sitting upright, not knowing whether it was intentional or not.
