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

If it was an unintentional mistake that she and Qin Fengtian sat on the same side, then it must have been intentional that Nian Qiaoyue sat next to Qin Junyu opposite them.

Even a concubine's daughter can sit next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know whether the Queen wants to insult Qin Junyu or humiliate the reputation of the royal family.

Qin Junyu was not interested in the topic of the quarrel in the hall. He sat cross-legged and drank alone, emitting a cold aura that kept strangers away.

Even the minister sitting next to him didn't dare to approach him and looked at him with cautious eyes.

He seemed to be aware of the other person's gaze lingering on him for a long time.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I met those charming fox eyes.

She held her chin and looked at him with clear eyes, as if she was in a daze, or as if she was observing something.

Qin Junyu raised his eyebrows, curled the corners of his mouth upwards, picked up the wine cup and toasted Nian Susu from a distance.

Nian Susu's eyes focused and when she saw the man clearly, he had already drunk a glass of wine. She quickly returned the toast.

Qin Fengtian looked at the two people's secret actions and suddenly felt unhappy.

Nian Susu was the princess chosen for him by his mother. How could she flirt with Qin Junyu in front of him?

"Miss Nian, I'll toast to you as well." He deliberately moved the futon cushion forward to get closer to her, declaring his sovereignty to Qin Junyu.

Nian Susu didn't move. The palace maid beside her was quite considerate and filled her glass with wine, but she still didn't move.

Qin Fengtian's anger gradually became apparent, and his knuckles turned white as he held the wine cup.

Before he lost his temper, Nian Susu wiped the corner of her mouth with her handkerchief and smiled at him, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I can't hold my liquor. I just toasted the princess and drank a glass with His Highness. I really can't drink any more."

She held her forehead, looking shaky, "Drinking will cause trouble. Your Majesty, don't drink too much in this kind of situation."

Zhihua knelt beside her and thoughtfully poured her some hot tea for her to drink.

Qin Fengtian suffered a loss, snorted angrily, and drank the wine.

Qin Junyu witnessed the whole process and felt ripples in his heart.

The ministers said everything they should and shouldn't say, but Tayali still didn't treat them well. She bowed to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the women of Liuli Country are well-educated and proficient in poetry, songs, chess, calligraphy and painting. Since your ministers all think that Xisu Country is not as good as Liuli Country, why don't you pick a lady to compete with me in dancing to see which country is better."

Her tone was stiff and cold, like a machine delivering words, making it hard to tell what she was thinking.

Nian Susu stared at her, thinking that there were also advantages to not speaking the same language, as it was impossible to tell whether she was provoking you or trying to communicate with you in a friendly manner.

Several ministers who had just scolded rushed out to agree. They didn't believe that a scholarly young lady raised in a wealthy family would be inferior to a savage princess from the wild land of Xisu!

Some people have already started to recommend their daughters, and the girls sitting at the banquet are eager to make a move, hoping that the emperor will allow them to take the spotlight.

The emperor glanced down and didn't see any one he liked.

They are all dressed up in a flashy way, not worthy of being in a formal gathering.

However, the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family was pretty and well-dressed, and she won his heart very much.

The queen moved her body and looked up to discuss the candidate with the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I think Miss Nian is a good one. She is the girl sitting next to Tian'er. She is the daughter of Prime Minister Nian." The Queen reminded.

The emperor laughed. How could he not recognize the girl from the Nian family? Even though she had rarely entered the palace, he did not care much about the situation of young ladies from aristocratic families. However, Nian Susu's name was particularly famous in Shengjing. She was known as the "beauty that overturned the country", so it was hard not to know her.

Seeing her today, she is indeed worthy of the title of "the most beautiful woman in the world".

"Just do as the Queen says." The emperor's eyes fell on Nian Susu, who was eating pastries. She looked cute and innocent, and her personality was pretty. It was obvious how well Nian Chengyun had raised this daughter.

The queen smiled demurely, having already made up her mind.

Since it was a comparison, Princess Tayali volunteered to perform the dance first, and then the Liuli Kingdom would send out its people.

No one had an opinion.

When everyone thought that Princess Tayali would dance the carefree folk dance of the Xisu Kingdom, her entourage presented her with an imitation wooden sword.

Princess Tayali performed a sword dance.

In the center of the hall, she respectfully performed the Liuli salute to the emperor on the podium, and then began to dance.

The only sounds left in the hall were the booming drums, trumpets and the sad and rapid pipa sounds. The former were heavy and oppressive, while the latter were wailing and weeping. Together, they made one feel as if one was in a battlefield full of flames. The soldiers shouted and charged with their swords raised, weeping along with the sound of the pipa, and fell in a pool of blood one after another.

Tayali swung her sword in the hall to the sound of music, performing a set of Jianghu sword moves that were bold and unrestrained, but also interspersed with some graceful dance moves, showing the woman's tenderness. The two collided, just like the sound of drums and pipa in the background, entangled and blended.

Because of years of martial arts training, Tayali's sword-wielding movements are very agile. Although she holds a wooden sword, every strike of the sword is full of sword energy. The murderous and fierce look in her eyes makes people imagine her as a female general fighting in bloody battles.

After the dance, you could hear a pin drop in the hall.

There was a thin layer of sweat on Tayali's forehead. She was breathing heavily, holding the sword, stepped forward, bowed, and then returned to her seat.

Those ministers who thought that Xisu Kingdom was inferior to Liuli Kingdom were speechless at this moment, and they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

Nian Susu thought she danced very well, better than the professional dancers he had seen on videos before, and that the immersive and shocking feeling could not be brought by electronic videos.

She led the applause, followed by sporadic applause.

None of them were willing to applaud the princess of Xisu, and even less willing to admit that Liuli was inferior to Xisu, so they all had stern faces and drank glass after glass of wine.

Tayali nodded to Nian Susu to show her gratitude.

Nian Susu also smiled sweetly at her and said that girls should be praised more, and she danced very well, so she deserved more praise!

The emperor didn't show it on his face, but he was actually already half disappointed.

Nian Susu is good-looking and well-educated, but she may not be able to compare with Tayali in dancing.

If Tayali doesn't dance well, Nian Susu can still win with that face.

But her strength is obvious to everyone. If he is unfair, it will only make people think that the people of Liuli Country are narrow-minded.

However, as the host, he was unable to accept the fact that he was suppressed by an envoy, and he was in a dilemma.

The queen was very confident in Nian Susu. She first praised Tayali's graceful dancing and then pretended to choose from among the girls.

As everyone was looking forward to it, the queen's eyes fell on Nian Susu.

Nian Susu was also looking at her, and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he stopped chewing.

The Queen winked at her and said, "I think the girl from the Nian family is the most suitable one to come forward and dance." She smiled benevolently.

Nian Susu was heartbroken. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. She is not prepared, so what is the point of giving her the opportunity?

Everyone's eyes fell on Nian Susu, making her feel very uncomfortable.

Just when she was ready to die, Nian Qiaoyue stood up opposite her.

"Thank you, Queen, for your kindness. I will not let you down."
