After the cannon fodder of the Hou Mansion read my voice, he went on a killing spree.

Du Heng didn't know how to describe it.

She is obviously just a little girl, as old as his son, but his son is still thinking about how to skip school and how not to do his homework every day.

Qiao Niannian said words that could end life and death and predict the future.

It's actually a bit funny.

But when he looked at the other person's calm eyes, he suddenly felt that the little girl had not lied to him.

He let out a breath.

"The little girl is right. It won't hurt us if we keep an eye on our people more carefully. We can't make any mistakes during this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Let's go and do it!"

The men didn't say anything and just went to do it.

The Du family has been an imperial merchant since Du Heng's father's generation, and it has been twenty years since Du Heng's generation. In these twenty years, they have some connections in the palace.

On the other side, Mammy followed Qiao Niannian's side as expected and didn't say much. As long as Qiao Niannian didn't do anything dangerous, he could just follow her.

Before Qiao Niannian had gone far, the tenth princess Xia Muyan hurried over, and her eyes lit up when she saw Qiao Niannian.

"Nian Nian, you are really here."

The two were the same age, and Xia Muyan also liked Qiao Niannian. Knowing that Qiao Niannian would pay tribute today, he told the queen and ran out.

The tenth princess was dressed more delicately today. She was wearing a goose-yellow palace dress, with her hair in a bun and a jeweled hairpin. There were no tassels, which suited her active personality.

The two of them were walking together. They were both ten-year-old girls, but they looked like an older sister leading a younger sister.

One is calm and the other is lively.

Xia Muyan took Qiao Niannian to the pavilion to feed the fish.

As soon as the two of them walked and sat down, Xia Muyan couldn't help but start to complain.

"Nian Nian, do you know who I just saw?"

"Qiao Yueying."

"She followed her aunt into the palace to meet the imperial grandmother. She wore an old dress and deliberately got in front of my imperial grandmother. That Qiao Yueying even discredited you and your mother."

"You saved the Imperial Grandmother once by yourself, and now you want to let the Imperial Grandmother vent her anger on her behalf, so she deliberately gave you eye drops!"

"I couldn't hold it back at that time. I yelled at her and then ran out to report the news to you!"

"I think my royal grandmother seems quite angry. Please pay attention to her later."

She glanced at Qiao Niannian with some sympathy. Qiao Yueying behaved the same way as her Eighth Emperor sister, always giving people the appearance of a passive insect, as if someone bullied her every day, which made her sick just thinking about it.

Qiao Niannian didn't have much reaction to this. Whether it was Aunt Xu or Qiao Yueying, they had always been very good at using their own advantages to gain sympathy.

The world always pities the weak.

Before Qiao Niannian could speak, a woman's faint laughter came from not far away. When Xia Muyan heard this laughter, he immediately frowned.

The palace maid immediately reminded: "It's the Eighth Princess and Qiao Yueying."

"It's so annoying. Why can we still meet them here? You guys go over there, and Niannian and I go to the path."

Xia Muyan knew that she, the imperial sister, walked here on purpose, and she probably saw her maid here.

The eighth princess is the daughter of Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian gave birth to two children in total, the eldest prince and the eighth princess. Concubine Xian was the first woman to follow her father, so she had an extraordinary status in his heart.

The eldest prince is physically disabled and has no chance of being crowned king. His father arranged for him to go to his fief early, and he did not come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year because of poor health.

The eighth princess was the only one left by Concubine Xian, and her health was not good.

The father took pity on Concubine Xian's two children who were both in poor health. Among the many children, the eighth princess was his favorite daughter. Outsiders only knew that the eighth princess was in poor health, but only Xia Muyan knew that Xia Chaoyan's weakness was actually her disguise.

She vividly remembered that she liked a Persian cat when she was a child. It had pure white hair, blue eyes, and was only a little bigger than the palm of her hand. The female cat died just one month after it was born. Xia Muyan felt sorry for the cat and brought the cat back.

Later, she took good care of him for a month. The little guy grew a little bigger and bolder. When he first came back, he kept avoiding people. Later, he got familiar with him and was able to walk around in the yard.

But what this cat likes most is sleeping on her lap, and its little purring sound is particularly cute.

But one day, her cat suddenly disappeared.

She was so panicked that she finally found it by the pond.

It was Xia Chaoyan who grabbed her cat and threw it into the pond. At that time, she was almost furious and ran out to question her.

Xia Chaoyan didn't take it seriously at all. She saw the cat struggling in the water and wanted to call someone, but Xia Chaoyan controlled her and let her watch the cat drown in the pond.

Later, the palace maid came, and so did the father.

She cried and complained.

Xia Chaoyan turned pale and showed her hand that was scratched by the cat, saying that she was just too scared and threw the cat down because it hurt.

As for controlling Xia Muyan to prevent her from leaving, there was no such thing.

Father believed Xia Chaoyan's words, and not only did he not reprimand her, he even felt distressed for a while.

From then on, Xia Muyan hated Xia Chaoyan, but every time Xia Chaoyan cried, her father would say nothing, and she would be the one who was punished in the end.

So Xia Muyan didn't want to see Xia Chaoyan at all.

She pulled Qiao Niannian into the side path.

Keep walking along the path, which is in the direction of Lenggong, so there are not many people walking on this path, and even the surrounding plants are relatively tall.

Even though Qiao Niannian was half a head taller than Xia Muyan, her body was still completely obscured by the plants next to her.

Xia Muyan didn't speak because he was angry, but Qiao Niannian remembered the plot in the novel.

This eighth princess is an important figure for the third prince to ascend the throne.

After Xia Muyan became a villain, he used Xia Rong and his remaining connections to organize troops and fought with the third prince to the end.

Xia Muyan and the third prince reached the moment of decisive battle. Xia Muyan actually managed to pin down the third prince. At the most critical moment of life and death for the two of them, their weapons were pointed at each other.

At this time, the eighth princess ran out and blocked the fatal blow for the third prince. Xia Muyan had no one in front of her and was killed by the third prince.

After the third prince ascended the throne, the eighth princess not only became the only princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, she was favored by the third prince and was given a princess palace and a fief, and she was also allowed to choose her own consort.

In the book, Xia Muyan was killed because of the eighth princess. In reality, the eighth princess was also Xia Muyan's death.

Obviously it hadn't been revealed on his face just now, but the moment the eighth princess appeared, Xia Muyan's face was also affected.

This eighth princess is a little weird.

Thinking of this, Qiao Niannian took out a talisman from her body, folded it into a triangle, and handed it to Xia Muyan.

"Princess Ten, this is an amulet. Wear it to keep you safe."

The Daxia Dynasty believed in metaphysics, and Xia Muyan did not reject these things. When Qiao Niannian gave her a gift, even though it was a begging charm, she happily accepted it.

"This is the first time I have received a gift!"

The moment Xia Muyan took the talisman, he felt his whole body calm down. Even the irritation caused by hearing Xia Chaoyan's voice faded away.

She stared at the talisman paper, a little shocked: "This talisman is so powerful."
