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

Qiao Niannian didn't know about Aunt Xu being punished by the Huo family.

She has now been taken back to the palace by the Queen Mother.

The cause of the incident was that the pond where Grandma Ruan fell into suddenly rolled out waves at night.

It was dark and gloomy at that time, and there was an evil wind blowing.

A palace maid happened to be passing by the pond. When she saw this scene, she hurriedly reported the matter to the Queen Mother.

Qiao Niannian had just returned home, and the Queen Mother didn't want to disturb her.

But after hearing that the palace maid said there were water ghosts in the pond, the Queen Mother immediately sent someone to pick up Qiao Niannian from the Mingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Qiao Niannian only had time to tell her family that Qiao Yueying had colluded with Tianxuanmen before she was taken back to the palace by the guards.

I wanted to have a good talk with my daughter, so I sent my daughter out without saying a word.

Huo looked at her daughter who was leaving and sighed.

It’s not good if my daughter is too good, too many people will rob her of her.

As a biological mother, she doesn't even have time to get close to her daughter.

This is also very sad!

Others don't know Huo's melancholy.

Qiao Niannian went to the palace to stay for a few days. As soon as she left the palace, the Queen Mother could not wait to have someone pick her up.

This kind of favor is quite explosive.

Who in the entire Great Xia Dynasty didn't know that the Queen Mother liked to be clean, and even the wives of some officials were missing on weekdays.

Even the princesses don’t have to go over to pay their respects unless it’s a special day.

I don’t know what means were used to make Mingyuan Hou’s daughter so favored by the Queen Mother.

After missing him for a day, a carriage was sent to pick him up.

This, this is really envious of others.

It was true that no one sent their daughters to the Queen Mother to serve her, but the Queen Mother didn't want any of them and sent them all back.

At first everyone thought it was because they didn't understand the Queen Mother's preferences.

But there were many people sending them, including all kinds of girls, but the Queen Mother still didn't like any of them. Only then did everyone know that the Queen Mother really didn't accept any maids.

Seeing that there was no hope, everyone gave up their thoughts.

Over time, everyone knew that the Queen Mother liked peace and quiet.

As a result, Mingyuan Hou's daughter now has the favor of the Queen Mother.

Not only was she allowed to live in Cining Palace with the ten princesses, but she was also given special grace to go to school with the princes.

How much grace is this?
A daughter of Mingyuan Hou Mansion is now being raised as a princess.

This is too jealous, and it also makes many people's minds ready to move.

Qiao Niannian didn't know that being taken back to the palace by the Queen Mother would arouse many people's concerns.

now.

She was standing on the edge of the pond.

Behind him are the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen and all the maids and eunuchs.

Everyone looked at her with anticipation.

Obviously.

The last experience of seeing a ghost was scary and novel to everyone.

Everyone is afraid of water ghosts, but with Qiao Niannian here, they can't help but want to see what the water ghost looks like this time.

Even the emperor and the queen mother could not avoid this curiosity.

Everyone stretched their necks and looked at the water.

Last time, Qiao Niannian walked here and cast a spell with both hands, and the water ghost was forced ashore.

This time, I don’t know if it will be the same as last time.

Everyone watched eagerly, full of curiosity.

Qiao Niannian also stared at the pond curiously.

Not only others are curious, but she is curious as well.

Last time she sensed that there was only one water ghost here, which had been dealt with, and the evil spirit around it was also eliminated by her.

In the past few days, I haven't heard of anyone jumping into the river.

Supposedly there are no water ghosts here.

But the maid saw it with her own eyes, so Qiao Niannian decided to take a closer look.

Qiao Niannian walked to the pond. She walked around the pond, glanced left and right, and even walked along the pond for a long distance, then fell silent.

The Queen Mother who followed over saw Qiao Niannian's expression and looked solemn. "Girl Nian, are the water ghosts in this pond difficult to deal with?"

Otherwise, Qiao Niannian's expression couldn't be so weird.

When the emperor heard this, he also became serious: "Do you need Master Jianzheng to come and help?"

The queen also thought that the prisoner should be invited over, so that it would be safer.

The emperor was convinced.

He turned around and looked at the guard, about to give an order.

Qiao Niannian suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the water ghosts in the pond are difficult to deal with, it's that there are no water ghosts here at all."

Qiao Niannian's words stunned everyone.

The Queen Mother was even more puzzled: "There is no water ghost, but the palace maid clearly saw the water rolling in the pond."

Qiao Niannian was helpless: "The splashing water may not be a water ghost, it could be a fish."

fish?
Everyone was puzzled.

Qiao Niannian walked to the edge of the test, raised her hand slightly, and saw the water splashing violently.

Everyone was shocked and felt that the water ghost was about to jump out.

But the next moment.

A fish jumped up and fell into the water, causing a large splash.

Everyone saw clearly that the fish was an ordinary carp. It might have lived for too long, so it was very big.

With a flick of its tail, it stirred up a wave of waves.

Everyone also understood.

It turned out to be a fish, and there was no water ghost at all.

The maid who had previously complained that there was a water ghost in the pond immediately knelt on the ground when she saw this.

"The Queen Mother, it's all my fault. I made a mistake."

The Queen Mother was also reasonable: "I don't blame you for this. It's because the fish was too big and you didn't think of it."

Although it was wrong for the maid to yell, there were indeed water ghosts in this pond.

If she were here, she would definitely think there was a water ghost here.

At this moment, a young man walked over not far away. He was wearing ink clothes and had a handsome face. He looked at Qiao Niannian with gentle eyes.

"Royal Grandma, this is just a misunderstanding. Fortunately, Nian Nian is so powerful that I can see that this is the splash of a fish in the water, not a water ghost."

"This also reassures everyone."

The third prince came.

He had been standing not far away watching Qiao Niannian since he appeared.

Qiao Niannian felt emotional, but she didn't express it.

But as soon as this man came over, he looked at her with a gentle and doting look.

He also called her Nian Nian.

Qiao Niannian felt uncomfortable.

So, she reminded the third prince.

"The third prince can call his daughter Taoist Master Qiao."

As for Nian Nian, just pull it down!

The third prince looked for a moment, and then said calmly: "Taoist Master Qiao."

The Great Xia Dynasty was in awe of practitioners, even though Qiao Niannian was the daughter of Mingyuan Houfu.

Logically speaking, he cannot afford the honorific title of Third Prince.

But she herself is very powerful. Just because she is stronger than Wang Xuanzhi, let alone the third prince, even the emperor must respect her.

So when Qiao Niannian said this in public, no one present felt it was inappropriate.

The emperor didn't think much about Qiao Niannian's words.

After all, it's just a title.

But the third prince was right.

Since Qiao Niannian said there are no water ghosts here, there are no water ghosts here.

What happened today was just a misunderstanding. He asked Qiao Niannian if there would be a water ghost here again.

Qiao Niannian shook his head.

"I used a spell to get rid of the evil spirit here. Unless someone falls into the pond and dies again, there will be no water ghosts or evil spirits here."
