Chapter 141: Taoist sister, you must be responsible for me!
A group of performers stood neatly on the palace wall, holding various musical instruments, blowing, plucking or knocking, playing beautiful melodies.
The people of the Kingdom of Women only need to look up at the sky to enjoy this wonderful performance.
The annual feast was held as scheduled. Every household hung big red lanterns at the door, and people gathered together to set up a long banquet.
The whole country was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, with singing and laughter echoing one after another.
The palace is magnificent and solemn.
The queen sat on the highest throne, she was dressed in a gorgeous dress, she was magnificent. When she stood up, the hem of her skirt shone like a dancing fairy, shining with charming light.
The Queen first gave a brief account of her daughter's trip abroad, toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and then signaled everyone to enjoy the food at will.
In the Kingdom of Women, there are none of the complicated and trivial rules of the outside world.
Everyone could sit down with their legs crossed, and in front of them were delicious food and wine. Everyone greeted the queen first, and then began to talk freely.
Zhi Nian and Yue Qiao'er were talking happily, with smiles all over their faces. Shui Yuci sat quietly at the side, staring at Zhi Nian silently, her deep eyes filled with endless tenderness.
Aunt Feng and Jiang Xiren were sitting next to the queen. She looked in the direction of Zhi Nian.
Smiling, he asked, "Could that woman next to Nian Nian be the lover she brought back?"
Aunt Feng smiled and nodded, and replied, “That’s right, Your Majesty.
It has been more than two months since that little girl left with someone else. I originally thought she would never come back!
Who would have thought! That little girl would make such a big noise without saying a word and bring the person back directly!
When Qiao'er went to find her, I was worried that she would be played with and ruthlessly abandoned, but the girl didn't say anything, which made me worry for several days in vain. It turns out that she knew what was going on and had it all planned out."
The queen smiled slightly, with a gentle and generous smile on her lips, and looked at Zhi Nian with loving eyes.
"That girl was really brave this time. She added a new member to us quietly! Hahahaha!"
Aunt Feng also echoed: "Isn't it!"
The queen's gaze then turned to Jiang Xiren, who was drinking alone, and asked with concern: "Xiren? Why do you seem to be in a bad mood today?"
Jiang Xiren slowly put down the wine glass that had just been brought close to her lips, bowed to the queen, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. It's just that I haven't been able to sleep well at night these days, and I feel a little tired."
The queen knew what was going on, but she didn't point it out. She just raised her cup and said, "In that case, let's drink to our heart's content today, and then go home and have a good rest."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiren quickly raised her glass with both hands in response.
Suddenly, the queen noticed a pair of eyes quietly cast towards her, seemingly with some caution.
The queen paused for a moment with the wine glass in her hand and turned to look.
At this time, Ni Nisha was having a pleasant conversation with Xu Shaoqi, and there was nothing unusual.
Seeing this, the queen turned her gaze back and continued to concentrate on drinking.
But just as the queen turned around, a hint of gloom flashed across the depths of Ni Nisha's eyes.
There is no doubt that in Ni Nisha's opinion, the queen is too partial.
However, the queen was completely unaware of Ni Nisha's thoughts.
Now that the country is stable and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, she is already satisfied.
On the other hand, Yue Qiaoer was in a very low mood. After forcing herself to smile and drinking a few cups with Zhi Nian and the others, she found an excuse to leave and went to the garden behind the palace to get some fresh air.
In this back garden, Yue Qiaoer was leaning alone on the pillar of the pavilion, holding a bottle of wine and taking a sip from time to time.
She was very familiar with Jiang Xiren's eyes since she was a child and would never be wrong.
Endless emotions were hidden deep in those eyes, which were cleverly concealed, but still could not completely hide the deep attachment and love contained within. In addition, they also contained more concerns that were difficult to give up.
How could Yue Qiaoer not see through it?
Even though she knew that Nian Nian had found her other half, Sister Xiren probably still wouldn't be able to let it go for a while.
Just like herself, it is difficult to let go of this feeling.
However, I still felt extremely painful and uncomfortable in my heart.
After Zhi Nian noticed Yue Qiao'er's abnormal condition, he whispered to Shui Yuci, "Sister, I'll go check on Qiao'er and come back in a moment."
Shui Yuci had just drunk some wine, and the cold aura on her body had slightly subsided. She pouted her lips with a hint of jealousy and muttered,
"Nian'er, you should go back quickly. It's very sour here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shui Yuci tightly grasped Zhi Nian's hand, without caring about the eyes of others around her, and gently placed it on her chest.
A shy blush instantly appeared on Zhi Nian's cheeks, and she whispered a few words into Shui Yuci's ear.
Shui Yuci then let go of her hand with reluctance and allowed Zhi Nian to leave.
