The empress dowager gave Nangong a faint smile, finally understanding the situation. She turned to Qiao Liangjin and said, ”Today, all the women here are women. Ah, right, other than Qing'er, Qing'er must be there today because he requested for me to thank you in front of me.”
Qiao Liangjin rolled her eyes at Qing Shui, who was sitting at the head of the table. She knew she definitely had no good intentions.
Su Chen did not say anything. He only smiled.
Yu Linglong sighed. ”Ai, Esteemed Empress Dowager, this humble subject has been to the southern countries as well.”
The empress dowager glanced at Yu Linglong and nodded. ”Yes, Linglong also made a trip to the Southern Kingdom. It's said that she cried very sorrowfully in the Southern Kingdom and spent her days very comfortably.”
Yu Ling's face instantly turned pale. She smiled embarrassedly, raised her teacup and covered her face.
Qiao Liangjin could not hold it in and actually laughed out loud.
The empress dowager shifted her seat and patted her shoulder. ”Jin'er, come sit here and accompany This Dowager to come closer.”
Qiao Liangjin covered her mouth and shook her head.
The empress dowager's face was sullen, feigning anger. ”What's wrong? You're not kissing This Dowager now, are you?”
Qiao Liangjin looked at Su Qingqing as if she was begging for help. She didn't expect her to nod slightly. This small action was completely captured in the empress dowager's eyes.
Qiao Liangjin could only get up and walk to the empress dowager's side before sitting down again. Only now did he realize that the empress dowager could see all of their movements.
The empress dowager held Qiao Liangjin's hand and said with a smile, ”Jin'er, if you can lose weight successfully, you'll really be the prettiest woman in the capital.”
Qiao Liangjin laughed and replied, ”No, no. Sister Linglong is truly a beauty under the heavens. Jin`er is just a clumsy girl, how could she possibly become the number one beauty in the kingdom? Esteemed empress dowager, you really lifted Jin'er up. ”
When Yu Linglong heard the conversation between the empress dowager and Qiao Liangjin, she felt even more resentful. She looked towards Nangong, but she didn't expect Nangong to be staring at her with a smile.
Yu Linglong was about to explode from anger. She had to rely on herself, she coughed lightly and smiled: ”I heard of Princess Qiao's beautiful words, Linglong truly admires you.” However, I heard that when I was in the Southern Kingdom, it was Prince Ning who … Saved you? ”
From the moment Qiao Liangjin heard Yu Linglong's cough, she knew that she was going to make a move. Indeed, it was a sneak attack, saying that she lived in Ning Xi's residence.
Qiao Liangjin laughed, ”Princess Linglong is really listening in from all directions. Indeed, I was saved by Prince Ning. However, I live in the palace, the Star Seizer Pavilion of the Southern Kingdom.”
The empress dowager was startled. ”Why is it in the Imperial Palace?”
Qiao Liangjin smiled faintly. ”The Seventh Prince withdrew his troops. The Southern Kingdom cannot protect themselves, so they placed me under house arrest and asked me, Xuanyuan, for help. Hopefully, it will be bigger …”
The empress dowager covered her mouth and looked at Qiao Liangjin in surprise. ”What happened next?”
”Later on, I ran away in the middle of the night. Luckily, someone broke into their palace in the middle of the night, so I sneaked away. This is life.” Qiao Liangjin described the incident from that night with a few words.
After hearing Qiao Liangjin's description, Su Chen frowned slightly. He understood Qiao Liangjin. The more he spoke, the more serious the matter would become.
The empress dowager sighed, then asked curiously, ”Then how did you find Qing Er?”
Qiao Liangjin lightly slapped the table and smiled. ”Esteemed empress dowager, that's a long story.”
”Speaking of which, with my intuition, I rushed to that forest. That forest is very strange, there are many poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts. I used my charm to conquer a leopard, and that leopard became my mount and brought me to the Seventh Prince, isn't that right?” At this point, she tilted her chin towards Su Qian.
Su Qing slightly nodded her head as a sign of tacit approval.
Qiao Liangjin proudly blinked her eyes and continued, ”When I rushed over, wow, at this moment, Seventh Prince was being entangled by a giant python, no matter how he struggled, it was useless. I raised my sword and stabbed the giant python's eye, the giant python rolled on the ground in pain, but it refused to let go of Seventh Prince no matter what.
Those who were listening to the story in the hall all sucked in a breath of cold air, as if they were the Seventh Prince who was fighting with the python.
She took a sip of tea and continued, ”I see that this won't do, the Seventh Marquis is going to die here. Our Seventh Marquis is the future and hope of Xuanyuan Kingdom, I was angry, and I raised my dagger and stabbed it into the python's head. The python breathed out at me, and fell heavily to the ground, dead.”
I saw that the Seventh Prince's seven orifices were bleeding. I thought that if this guy really died, then I would have made a wasted trip to the Southern Kingdom. If he died, and I said I would come to the Southern Kingdom to save people, who would believe me? My credit is gone. ”
”Puchi …” Su Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The empress dowager lightly patted the back of Qiao Liangjin's hand and smiled as well. ”This girl is very weird.”
Su Qingqing coughed lightly and cupped her hands towards Qiao Liangjin in thanks. ”Thank you for saving my life, Princess Qiao. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here today.”
