After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen
Chapter 51: Dunhuang Goddess
“Second Miss Nian, I only agreed to let you dance in public on the basis that you behave properly and observe proper etiquette. You…how could you…” The emperor deliberated for several times but could not utter a single word. He could not express the shock and anger in his heart in words.
"How could you let Princess Tayali suffer like this!" he said angrily, slamming the dragon table in anger and speaking out his true feelings in the name of Tayali.
The queen seemed to have found a reason to vent her anger, and she vented all the anger in her heart onto Nian Qiaoyue.
"Miss Nian, my original intention was to let Miss Nian perform a dance, so that she could learn from the princess and have a friendly exchange. But you came up without making any noise. I will give you a chance because you are both the daughter of Prime Minister Nian."
Nian Chengyun felt a chill on his neck, knowing that disaster was about to happen.
The Queen gnashed her teeth and said, "I didn't expect that you would not only not take it seriously, but also do something that humiliates our country's image! This is unforgivable!"
Nian Qiaoyue’s back bent lower and lower, and finally her head was buried in the ground.
The other ministers felt a sense of relief that "The Queen is wise! She said exactly what I was thinking!"
Nian Susu sat upright. She was now the kid next door, and there were so many eyes watching her. She couldn't let anyone catch her.
[Host, please immediately take the blame for the year and month that caused the trouble. Countdown, ten, nine, eight...]
The countdown, accompanied by a warning sound, vibrates in the ears like a death warrant.
Nian Susu was so scared that he walked quickly to the center of the hall holding the golden crown and knelt down with a plop. The most perfect way to take the blame is often to use the simplest way.
"Your Majesty, it is my fault. I taught my sister this dance. If a son does not teach, it is the fault of the father. The eldest sister is like a father. Please punish me and spare my sister."
She kowtowed without hesitation, and stood up with a calm and righteous look, like a soldier about to die on the battlefield.
The Queen's words of "beat her with fifty sticks" were already in her throat, but she swallowed them back. After all, she was Nian Susu, and if she really beat her with fifty sticks, then let alone a marriage alliance, the Nian family would have a grudge against her for dozens of generations to come, so she couldn't beat her.
Nian Qiaoyue didn't expect that Nian Susu would come out to take the blame for her at this time. As expected, the more people there are and the bigger the occasion, the more she has to show herself and establish her image as a good sister.
Nian Su Su has always regarded her as a stepping stone!
"Even if you taught Wu, it can't be your fault that she lost her manners in public... in public, right?" The queen still tried to clear Nian Susu of any connection.
Nian Susu admitted it immediately, "It's my fault. I took my sister to eat a lot of sweet potatoes and eggs today, so that's why it happened."
Nian Qiaoyue was so embarrassed that she wanted to slap herself, especially when she heard someone say, "No wonder it's so powerful, it turns out it took so many good things", she really wanted to end it all.
A girl is being talked about like this. From now on, when people mention her name, they will think of "stinky fart". Who can stand this?
The queen really had nothing to say. Nian Susu was obviously determined to take all the blame on herself.
Nian Chengyun, the father of the two parties involved, received the emperor's gaze from below. The emperor wanted him to save face, but Princess Xisu was still there. If he punished Nian Qiaoyue in front of her, wouldn't that be a slap in his own face?
Nian Chengyun had lost all his face, but he still had to move forward.
He knelt in front of his two daughters and said, "Your Majesty, it is the fault of the father if the son is not well educated. Susu and Qiaoyue are both my daughters, and I have the responsibility. But please forgive my daughter for today's welcoming banquet for the Princess of Xisu."
He looked at the queen and added, "Your Majesty has just said that you wanted Su Su to come forward and dance. Why not give her a chance to make amends? Your Majesty, please show mercy."
Nian Chengyun prostrated himself on the ground, and his two daughters followed suit.
Nian Susu's heart finally died - she couldn't dance at all.
If it comes to reciting poems and composing couplets, she can at least "borrow" some from the poems of Li Bai and Du Fu to deal with it, but dancing is something she does for real, so how can she take shortcuts?
When the emperor agreed to let Nian Susu atone for his sins, she finally dug out a talisman called "Jinghong Wu" from a pile of useless props in her backpack and applied it on herself.
Nian Susu asked to go to the side hall to change clothes. Before leaving, she asked Zhihua to decorate the hall according to her instructions.
In the side hall, she used the "Nuan Nuan Wardrobe" to transform herself into the "Dunhuang Goddess".
These little props usually gather dust in my bag, but I never expected that one day they would come in handy.
Nian Susu entered the stage slowly, holding the pipa with her backhand tilted downward, stepping on two rows of candlelight. A long gold-woven gauze shawl wrapped around her arms fluttered in the wind.
At that moment, it was like the goddess in the Dunhuang murals appeared.
Everyone stared at her intently, the men's eyes were filled with admiration and love, the women's eyes were filled with amazement and envy, and no one felt jealous at this moment, fearing that they would blaspheme the goddess.
Nian Susu felt the talisman on his back was heating up, and then his body involuntarily began to dance to the music.
She was even shocked when she performed some difficult moves.
But she soon adapted, her demeanor became more natural, her gaze became more graceful, and her divinity was revealed in her every move.
Of course, this is all thanks to the "Jinghongwu" talisman, otherwise she would be no different from Nian Qiaoyue.
When the song ended, Nian Susu walked out of the hall with light lotus steps, as if she was the goddess of Dunhuang returning to the original mural.
Everyone was still immersed in the Dunhuang Flying Dance and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
It was only when Nian Susu changed back into his original clothes and returned to the hall to greet the emperor that thunderous applause broke out.
There were many eyes cast upon her, some filled with greedy desires, some filled with jealousy and envy, but she only noticed the one on the right that was filled with admiration and praise.
Nian Susu turned his head slightly and could see who the gaze came from.
Qin Junyu looked at him calmly for a long time. His usually gloomy black eyes were now filled with a smile, like melting ice water, mixed with the chill of winter and the warmth of spring.
She looked back and smiled.
The emperor and the empress used almost all the best words in the book to praise Nian Susu, and they also wanted to reward her generously.
Nian Susu did not dare to push her too far. Not being beaten was already the best reward she could receive, so she gently and obediently declined the emperor's kindness.
Nian Chengyun touched his neck and breathed a sigh of relief, his life was saved.
Nian Susu received a lot of praise. Even Tayali admitted that her dancing skills were not as good as hers. She also said that she wanted to study this art with her someday. However, with her elementary school radio gymnastics level, Nian Susu really didn't dare to agree to her request.
After dealing with Tayali, Nian Susu was about to return to her seat when she found that someone was already sitting in her seat - Nian Qiaoyue.
Nian Qiaoyue looked pitiful and no one knew what she was saying to Qin Fengtian. Qin Fengtian felt so distressed that he frowned as he listened.
No need to guess, Nian Qiaoyue was saying bad things about her to Qin Fengtian.
Nian Susu sat down next to Qin Junyu without thinking.
