Chapter 107 Destruction
On his way back, the cousin of the prime minister's mansion was once again robbed by beggars and eventually died of exhaustion.
When Zhang Xianxian heard the news, she gave the young lady a thumbs up, what a ruthless person!
Fortunately, this body's previous life was loyal to the young lady!
The Queen is going to hold a flower-viewing banquet in the palace to select a concubine for the Crown Prince, and Xiao Yining is undoubtedly one of the candidates that the Queen values very much.
In the previous life, Xiao Yining also went, but because he felt guilty, he did not behave very well. Instead, his good sister shined and won the favor of the queen.
In this life, Zhang Xianxian really wanted to know what kind of trouble this young lady would cause.
It was indeed a flower-viewing banquet, with all sorts of rare species dazzling Zhang Xianxian’s eyes, but the most beautiful one was still her own eldest daughter.
The lake blue dress made her skin look even whiter, and the gold-plated and kingfisher-inlaid hairpins sparkled in colorful colors under the sunlight. Her every frown and smile was so charming.
Not only Zhang Xianxian was fascinated, most of the noble ladies present were also envious and wished they could have such beauty.
Zhang Xianxian stood beside the eldest lady like a proud peacock. With such a beauty by her side, she felt quite proud.
Unfortunately, the Queen disliked this style the most. She had seen too many concubines in the palace who had attracted the Emperor's attention because of their beauty. She used to think that Xiao Yining was beautiful, but not ostentatious. But after seeing her today, she realized that she didn't understand her well enough.
Although the Queen was not very happy, she was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion after all. Let's wait and see, what if she behaves well in the future?
He began to praise Xiao Yining's outfit today.
Xiao Yining still had a smile on her face, but what she hated most in her heart was this queen. She was full of benevolence and morality, but her heart was as black as coal. After becoming the queen mother, the fall of the prime minister's mansion was inseparable from her "contribution".
The incompetent prince walked over slowly. Zhang Xianxian looked at the prince. He didn't look that good. She didn't know why Xiao Xi, Xiao Yining's sister, liked him so much.
Of course, the eldest daughter of our family was just blind in her previous life, and she will definitely not repeat the same mistake in this life. Maybe there will be a big drama waiting for her.
The prince almost stopped breathing when he saw Xiao Yining. It was only after Xiao Xi coughed a few times that the prince realized his mistake.
When the prince thought that he had actually lost his composure, especially in front of his lover, he avoided Xiao Xi's gaze.
What a pity, it’s really such a pity.
If Xiao Yitang hadn't been making things difficult for him, he would have really wanted to have sex with her, his own sister.
It was precisely because the prince did not look at him that Xiao Xi's palms were about to bleed. She knew that her cousin was a good-for-nothing, which made her have to be extremely careful when doing things in the palace.
Xiao Xi reminded himself to stay calm while planning his plan carefully. He couldn't make any mistakes. After all, this was in the palace and he had to think carefully about whether there were any loopholes.
The talent show is undoubtedly the highlight of this flower-viewing banquet.
Each noble lady prepared her own specialty. In her previous life, Xiao Xi prepared an ink painting, which depicted mountains and rivers in one stroke, and won applause from the whole audience.
Therefore, the Queen felt that she was broad-minded, and her son also expressed his liking for Xiao Xi before the flower-viewing banquet.
In order to avoid a conflict with his son over a woman, and also because Xiao Xi had performed well and although her status was lower, she at least came from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he accepted this daughter-in-law.
Although Xiao Yining has a higher status, she behaves too ordinary. She does not have the elegance she usually has. It was just a banquet, but she became like this. How can she be the mother of the country when she accompanies her son in the future?
This is also the reason why the queen did not choose her in the previous life.
In this life, Xiao Yining did not want to become the Crown Princess, but in order to disgust Xiao Xi and the Crown Prince, she dressed up and changed her usual plain dress. As expected, some rifts had already arisen between Xiao Xi and the Crown Prince. You know, this rift will only get bigger and bigger~
Of course, I have already found out the Queen's likes and dislikes. The Queen does not like to show off. In the past, I always dressed up to cater to the Queen's preferences. Now, I don't care about her!
Xiao Xi was about to start painting, and Zhang Xianxian specially chose an excellent viewing position. After all, it was a painting that laid the foundation for her career as queen, and such a masterpiece must be carefully observed.
The eldest lady didn't care about it at all. After all, it was just a painting. She liked the double-sided embroidery of Qi Xinya, the daughter of the Grand Tutor's family, more. It was a pity that the time was too short, but one could still see that the craftsmanship was exquisite.
As expected, just like before, it received a round of applause.
Zhang Xianxian felt it was a little strange. From this angle, the strokes seemed a bit rough and didn't feel grand.
Maybe it was because of the angle, so he quietly moved towards where the queen was sitting, and sure enough, it looked pretty good.
However, a truly good work of art should appear to have no problems from any angle.
Zhang Xianxian carefully observed the expressions of the people around her. Some of them echoed the Queen's praise, while others briefly showed a hint of contempt.
At this time, the cat raised by the queen jumped forward and was about to hit Xiao Yining. Xiao Yining pretended to fall to the side, and the zither fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The scattered parts flew onto Xiao Xi's ink and splashed ink spots on his Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains.
Xiao Xi felt bad, as she still didn't have the overall situation under control. Fortunately, her performance was already completed. Besides, my dear sister, what are you going to perform without your piano?
The maid beside the queen took the cat away. Xiao Yining pretended to be extremely frightened. Looking at the appearance of this little rabbit, the prince began to feel pity for her again. He really wanted to see her acting like this under him.
"It was Yining who lost control, sister. I'm really sorry. I didn't hold the zither firmly and messed up your painting like this."
Everyone then looked at Xiao Xi's painting. It was obvious that he had only added a few dots of ink, but how come the quality of the painting was so badly reduced and looked a little rough?
The queen also thought that it was because of her eyesight. The painting had indeed lost some of its beauty. Did these ink spots affect the painting in this way?
However, the most urgent task was to comfort Xiao Yining, after all, it was his cat that got into trouble.
The queen gave her a harp as a reward, and then added some jewelry.
