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

Xia Muyan sneered.

"No matter what the imperial sister said, you were demeaning me in every way. Now you think that I will embarrass my father. It's really ridiculous."

"You have no evidence at all, and you have never met any of my friends before you say such a thing."

"Not only have you disparaged me, you have disparaged my friend."

"I see that the imperial sister is so powerful, I think she can help relieve the father's worries, so why don't you solve this problem."

"That's right. If the emperor sister can stand up and accuse me, she must have a good way. Then the emperor sister should listen to the emperor sister's method."

Xia Muyan is the tenth princess, but she is the queen's daughter, and her status is much more noble than the eighth princess.

In the past, because Xia Muyan would get angry every time, everyone would only think that Xia Chaoyan was only for Xia Muyan.

But Xia Muyan didn't know what was good or bad.

Today, Xia Muyan's words were meaningful and coherent.

The emperor and the queen mother couldn't help but look at Xia Muyan one more time, with admiration in their eyes.

Xia Muyan was about to get angry just now.

But Qiao Niannian's voice actually appeared in his mind.

She immediately woke up and threw the question to Xia Chaoyan.

Afterwards, she stopped talking, as if she no longer worried about the matter.

On the contrary, it was Xia Chaoyan.

When she met the gazes of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, her scalp went numb.

She didn't know that an envoy from the Yue Kingdom would arrive today, so where could she find someone who was good at playing the piano?

Although she also likes to play the piano, her skills are not comparable to those of the palace musicians.

Not to mention showing off one's ugliness.

For a moment, Xia Chaoyan couldn't refute a word.

Seeing Xia Chaoyan's aggrieved look for the first time, Xia Muyan couldn't help but show a mocking look.

The queen sat next to the emperor and looked at Xia Chaoyan with cold eyes.

"Chao Yan, what you just said makes sense. Mu Yan doesn't understand music, but I know that you do. I think you can recommend a good piano player."

It was the first time that Xia Chaoyan was forced like this, but she was unprepared and couldn't even fight back.

Finally, Xia Chaoyan knelt on the ground with a plop and admitted his mistake.

When Xia Muyan saw her, she quickly acted coquettishly towards her mother.

"Mother, please stop talking. If you keep talking, Sister Eighth Emperor will burst into tears again, and I will be the one who gets scolded."

"After all, it's been like this every time before."

Xia Muyan's words reminded the emperor of the past. It seemed that Xia Chaoyan cried every time. As soon as he saw Xia Chaoyan crying, he subconsciously felt that she was bullied by Xia Muyan.

The queen took her daughter's hand and helped her vent her anger.

"Don't be afraid. This is a palace banquet. All the ministers are watching. Everyone knows what is right and what is wrong. But your father will not favor anyone who sheds tears."

Emperor Jing'an felt guilty after being secretly criticized by the queen.

He seemed to be facing Xia Chaoyan every time.

But now that I think about it carefully, Xia Chaoyan is two years older than Xia Muyan, a head taller than Xia Muyan, and stronger than Xia Muyan.

How could he have thought that Xia Chaoyan was bullied by Xia Muyan before?

Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Xia Chaoyan.

"Chaoyan, after the palace banquet, copy the ring twenty times and hand it to the queen in person. You must write until the queen is satisfied and apologize to your sister."

Xia Chaoyan's face turned pale.

She did not expect that her father would punish her personally in front of the Yue envoy.

The third prince Xia Zeqi wanted to speak, but when he saw the impatience on his father's face, he immediately shut his mouth.

Xia Muyan felt happy when he saw Xia Chaoyan was punished.

But that wasn't enough, she had to hit the other person hard in the face.

Taking advantage of his young age, Xia Muyan pulled his mother to act coquettishly and brought up what happened just now.

The queen knew her daughter very well, and Xia Muyan would not tell her anything that she was not sure about.

Plus today, her daughter's performance surprised her. My daughter looks much calmer than before.

The queen was also happy and immediately proposed to the emperor.

The emperor and the queen mother took the queen's proposal seriously, and then agreed to the person recommended by Xia Muyan.

Xia Muyan immediately ordered the palace maids to bring the people in.

Everyone waited for a while, and then the person came, with the palace maid behind her still holding the piano. The piano this time was used by the palace master. It was good, but not the best.

Du Ruo came in to salute. He had never attended a palace banquet, let alone met the emperor.

Du Ruo was a little nervous.

Fortunately, the tenth princess was careful and arranged her playing position near Du Heng.

Du Heng encouraged Du Ruo in a low voice, and Du Ruo relaxed.

Her fingers fell on the strings.

The moment Du Ruo's fingers touched the strings, his whole aura changed, and the tension in his body disappeared instantly, replaced by calmness and confidence.

Du Ruo has been fond of playing the piano since he was a child.

She could read music at the age of three and could play the piano at the age of five.

She is a truly talented woman in the Jiangnan area.

It's just that this is the capital, and the capital side doesn't know much about what's going on in the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention that the people present are all officials.

They didn't have time to listen to the market news, so they had no idea that the person playing the piano in front of them was a talented woman famous in Jiangnan.

Little did he know that Du Ruo's piano skills had attracted the admiration of many talented people.

If it weren't for Du Heng's protection, the Du family's threshold for marriage would have been broken.

However, the moment the piano sounded, nothing mattered anymore.

Listening to the pleasant sound of the piano, everyone couldn't help but close their eyes and savor it with their hearts.

At this time, no one is willing to make any other noise to destroy this wonderful sound.

Everyone present was fascinated by it.

Only Qiao Yueying was completely panicked the moment she saw Du Ruo.

Because she recognized people.

The girl in front of her was the one who saved the Queen Mother. At that time, she pretended to be a member of the Queen Mother's family, took the Queen Mother from the other party's hands, and then appeared as the Queen Mother's savior.

In fact, the person who saved the Queen Mother was Du Ruo.

Think of this.

Qiao Yueying's whole body felt bad.

The reason why she is now being protected by the Queen Mother is because of her original love for saving her life. Without her original love for saving her life, how could the Queen Mother have the time to care about the affairs of a concubine.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yueying panicked.

No.

The Queen Mother could not be allowed to see Du Ruo, and Du Ruo could not be given a chance to tell the truth.

But what is she going to do?

Now it was a palace banquet, in front of a large crowd, and in front of the emperor. If she did something, wouldn't it arouse suspicion?

Qiao Yueying felt guilty and scared. She sat in front of the desk and didn't know what to do.

When Du Ruo's incident was discovered, it was even more serious than her embarrassing situation just now.

Aunt Xu also had the same mood as Qiao Yueying.

She didn't know that there was someone else who saved the Queen Mother. She simply couldn't bear to see someone stepping on her daughter to get the upper hand.

Her daughter is the best.

Everything was originally planned, but I don't know what went wrong. The wonderful sound that is usually hard to find has become a harsh noise today.

Aunt Xu made everything planned.

He also spent a lot of money to manage the palace.

As a result, she made a wedding dress for someone else.
