Huo turned around and saw Qiao Chushan staring at Xu, and couldn't help but speak with jealousy.

"My eyes are straight. You can't see clearly while sitting here. Why don't you sit where my daughter is, right in the center, so you can see people more easily."

Qiao Chushan had no choice but to look back.

She knew clearly that he didn't mean anything to Mrs. Xu, but she could always push it in this direction.

So many years.

Even when he didn't know the truth, he never rested in Xu's yard.

Huo didn't buy it.

When he first married her, Qiao Chushan said that he would never take concubines for the rest of his life.

These are his promises. What's wrong with a man keeping his promises?

In other words, if a man can’t even speak his own words, what kind of man is he?

Qiao Chushan was even more helpless.

He diligently put a piece of roasted suckling pig into Huo's bowl and coaxed her.

"This roasted suckling pig is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes great. Try it."

There was nothing he could do.

He just likes his wife's overbearing and unreasonable look.

Because he knew that this was Huo's sign that he cared about him.

If one day he sees another woman and Huo's expression doesn't change, then he will really doubt Huo's feelings for him.

Qiao Niannian knew that her father and mother had a good relationship. Seeing her mother not giving her father face, Qiao Niannian couldn't help but blame her father, but she wouldn't say anything more.

This is the way of husband and wife.

The two of them are so sweet!

The sweetness here, in Qiao Niannian's eyes, was the love between father and mother, but in Xu's eyes, it was extremely dazzling.

Although Mrs. Xu didn't like Qiao Chushan in her heart, she was Qiao Chushan's woman now, but Qiao Chushan didn't give her any face, which made Mrs. Xu feel very uncomfortable.

At least, when Qiao Chushan saw her in the past, most of them were very gentle.

Not to mention Qiao Yueying.

She looked at Huo Shi and Qiao Niannian with extremely resentful eyes. If she had a knife in her hand, she would have wanted to stab them two times with it.

It's daddy's child.

Just because Qiao Niannian is the legitimate daughter, she must be pampered.

And since she was a concubine, she would be disliked.

Since childhood, whatever good things Qiao Chushan had, he would take the initiative to bring them to Qiao Niannian.

And she needs to fight for whatever she wants.

Qiao Niannian didn't have to give anything, but she had to give everything.

Qiao Yueying hated it to death.

The resentment in his eyes was about to turn into reality.

"The moon is waxing."

Aunt Xu was frightened by Qiao Yueying's eyes, and then called her.

Qiao Yueying came to her senses.

Her peripheral vision glanced at Yuan Bruqi opposite, and she immediately suppressed the resentment in her heart.

She shouldn't argue with Qiao Niannian now.

Anyway, after today, Qiao Niannian will completely become her foil.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yueying breathed a sigh of relief and patted the back of Xu's hand comfortingly.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine."

Aunt Xu didn't move or speak.

Because no matter what she says or what she does, it is not what she really means.

After a brief interlude with Qiao Niannian, Yuan Bruqi and Emperor Jing'an exchanged a few words and got down to business.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that people in Daxia are good at music. I happen to be a lover of music. On the way here, I heard that the daughter of Mingyuan Marquis Mansion is very good at playing the piano. I wonder if I can play a piece of music."

"I wonder who the daughter of Mingyuan Houfu is?" Everyone's eyes fell on Qiao Chushan, and they were a little confused.

Why don't they know that the daughter of Mingyuan Hou Mansion has superb piano skills.

The emperor also looked towards Qiao Chushan, and he immediately saw the well-behaved Qiao Niannian on the seat.

Qiao Niannian blinked her cute eyes at the emperor, and then set her sights on Qiao Yueying.

The emperor directly pointed at Qiao Chushan: "Qiao Aiqing, I don't know which daughter in your family is good at playing the piano."

Qiao Chushan's voice was crisp: "My concubine, Qiao Yueying, has loved playing the piano since she was a child."

Qiao Yueying was stunned.

Isn't it Qiao Niannian?

Qiao Niannian has been learning music from her teacher since she was a child. She has a very good talent in this area and is often praised by her teacher.

Qiao Yueying used to be too secretly envious of Qiao Niannian. Later, in order to surpass Qiao Niannian, Aunt Xu found a master for her.

But when she usually practices the piano, she practices secretly, and Qiao Chushan doesn't know.

So when the emperor asked, Qiao Chushan should naturally answer Qiao Niannian.

After Qiao Niannian went up and embarrassed herself, she took action again and shocked everyone, including Qiao Chushan and Huo.

But what Qiao Chushan just said was that she had great piano skills.

Not to mention Qiao Yueying, even Aunt Xu herself was confused.

She taught Qiao Yueying how to play the piano. No one else in the house knew about it except Qiao Chaosheng. How could Qiao Chushan mention Qiao Yueying?

Before the two of them could figure it out, the emperor directly named Qiao Yueying.

"Qiao Yueying, since Prince Yuanbruqi likes it, why don't you play a piece for him?"

Only then did Mrs. Xu react and looked at Qiao Chushan: "Master, Yue Ying can't play the piano."

At this time, her irony was somewhat useful.

Qiao Chushan didn't look at Xu, but looked at Qiao Yueying: "Yueying, can you really not play the piano?"

Qiao Yueying didn't know how to answer for a moment.

If the answer is no, then she will have no chance to play today.

The answer is, she will play it immediately.

But this was nothing like what she had planned before.

In the end, Qiao Yueying had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up.

Although she will feel a little regretful that she cannot defeat Qiao Niannian, her status in the family is getting worse and worse. If she doesn't show her performance, everyone will only remember Qiao Niannian, the daughter of Mingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Who would remember her Qiao Yueying?

On the high platform, the Queen Mother did not expect that Prince Yueguoyuan Bruqi was talking about Qiao Yueying. She did not know that Qiao Yueying could play the piano.

Thinking back to the time when she was chanting sutras in a Taoist temple, she was bitten on the calf by a poisonous snake coming from the back mountain. If Qiao Yueying hadn't sucked out the venom with her mouth, she would have died of the poison long ago.

Seeing that Qiao Yueying was a little nervous, the Queen Mother couldn't help but comfort her.

"Yue Ying's Qin Ai's family has never heard of it, so today is a real treat."

After saying that, she looked at Huo with dissatisfied eyes.

She had beaten Mrs. Huo before and asked Mrs. Huo to treat Qiao Yueying well. At that time, Mrs. Huo had promised well. But today, at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, both Qiao Yueying and Mrs. Xu were wearing old clothes.

Still old clothes that have been washed many times.

Even the palace banquet was dressed like this, which shows that Xu and Qiao Yueying's life in the Hou Mansion was not easy.

Huo didn't know that Qiao Yueying was her savior.

But she still treated Qiao Yueying like this, simply not taking her words into consideration.

The Queen Mother has decided to settle the score with Huo after the palace banquet.

Qiao Yueying felt much better after being comforted by the Queen Mother. She bowed to the Queen Mother Yingying and sat in front of the piano stand.

Qiao Niannian couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene.

[Qiao Yueying's method is still as effective as ever. It seems that the Queen Mother is already dissatisfied with her mother. When the palace banquet is over, she will definitely ask her mother for questioning. 】

Huo was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Queen Mother, and saw the Queen Mother staring at her dissatisfied!
