The Vicious Supporting Female Character And The White Lotus Female Lead

Nie Xian'er was finally chased away by Luan Qing Xiao.

    Taking advantage of the time before the King and Queen arrived, Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er came to the corner by the window to talk, using the heavy curtains to separate others’ gaze.

    Luan Qing Xiao hugged the unhappy Nie Zhen'er, "What's the matter with Nie Xian'er, can you tell me about it?"

    Not satisfied with a simple hug, Nie Zhen'er stretched out her arms to encircle Luan Qing Xiao's waist and rested her head on Luan Qing Xiao's shoulders.

    She was silent for a while before slowly saying, "Nie Xia is my father's only younger brother and she is the youngest daughter of the empire's sole princess, Nie Xia."

    "Nie Xian'er is two years younger than me and grew up with me in Lanser Palace."

    Luan Qing Xiao noticed that Nie Zhen'er was clutching her arm tightly, so she gently stroked Nie Zhen'er's thin back to soothe her emotions.

    Nie Zhen'er's fair and tender cheek rubbed against Luan Qing Xiao's shoulder, like a pitiful and cute little animal.

    "Nie Xianer's personality is completely different from mine. I don't like to talk, I prefer to stay alone and read books, while she enjoys all activities of socializing with people. My mother thought the reason I kept myself in my room all the time was because I lacked a playmate, so she took the lively Nie Xian'er into Lanser Palace to accompany me."

    "Nie Xia was delighted when Nie Xian'er entered Lancer Palace. He also wanted to send in his son Nie Jun Jun along with her, but was rejected by my father."

    "At that time, Nie Xian'er used this opportunity to get close to me and often instilled a thought in me: The king of the empire should be a man. Then, she would always sighed and follow up with it's a pity that her cousin is a girl."

    "When I was young, I didn't understand why she would say this to me. It’s only when I grew up that I realized that Nie Xia’s entire family was viciously ambitious. He wanted his son to take over the throne from my father."

    "Nie Xia has his eye on the throne, but unfortunately my father trusts his only younger brother. Every time I watch their performance, I find it so lackluster that even the world feels dull and increasingly tiresome."

    "Her coming to see just now, who knows what bad idea she was scheming? Fortunately, Qing Xiao, you drove Nie Xian'er away."

    Luan Qing Xiao asked, "Zhen'er, have you ever tried to tell your father Nie Xia's thoughts on the throne?"

    Nie Zhen'er depressedly replied, "I have, but he insisted that Nie Xia is his younger brother and won't have that kind of thinking. He told me to not think too much. If only I had evidence.”

    "Don't be sad, I will help you." Luan Qing Xiao stated.

    Nie Zhen'er raised her head and saw the star-like lights in Luan Qing Xiao's apricot eyes, "It's so nice that I have you." In this world, only Luan Qing Xiao would trust her unconditionally.

    Luan Qing Xiao stayed with Nie Zhen'er by the window to help her compose herself. Hearing the conversations that the King and Queen were about to appear outside, she parted the heavy curtains and returned to the reception hall.

    Sure enough, not long after, the King and Queen strode down the gorgeous spiral staircase on the second floor of the palace.

    With cordial smiles on their faces and wearing golden yellow outfits representing the royal family, they came to the high platform of the grand hall under the gaze of everyone in the banquet hall.

    Nie Zhen'er took Luan Qing Xiao's hand and walked to the edge of the stage, "Qing Xiao, I have to go up there."

    Luan Qing Xiao responded, "I’ll wait for you here."

    Nie Zhen'er stepped onto the stage. After the King and Queen made their speeches, they announced Nie Zhen'er's decision to start participating in the governing of the empire.

    Luan Qing Xiao noticed that a middle-aged man who was slightly similar to the King, who was standing not far away from her, instantly changed his face as his eyes filled with gloom.

    After the royal family’s speech, applause sounded from the audience while Nie Xian'er and a tall man walked to the middle-aged man. Although Luan Qing Xiao couldn't hear Nie Xian'er's voice, she knew what Nie Xian'er called the middle-aged man, “Dad,” according to her mouth shape.

    It seems that the middle-aged man was Nie Xia.

    Nie Xia, Nie Xian'er, and the remaining man that was seventy percent alike to Nie Xia, Luan Qing Xiao guessed that he was Nie Xia's son, Nie Jun Jun.

    Once Nie Zhen'er exited the stage, she watched Luan Qing Xiao staring in one direction. She followed her gaze to see the Nie Xia family.

    Luan Qing Xiao turned her head and took Nie Zhen'er's hand, "You were beautiful on stage just now."

    Nie Zhen'er immediately forgot about Nie Xia‘ s trio and smiled happily, even the brilliance of the crystal chandelier was not as radiant as the brilliance in her eyes.

   At this time, moving music began playing in the banquet hall, causing everyone to form a big circle for the King and Queen to dance the first dance of the evening under the crystal chandelier.

    After the King and Queen had the first tune, everyone lost their reservations and all the gentlemen invited the ladies they admired to dance.

    Nie Zhen'er looked at the cheerful dance floor and then glanced at Luan Qing Xiao, a little tempted.

    Luan Qing Xiao smiled and raised her hand, placing a soft kiss on the back of her hand, "May I invite you, Zhen’er Highness?"

    Just as Nie Zhen'er was about to nod her head in agreement, a male voice suddenly intervened: "My Beautiful Majesty, will you please leave the first dance to me?"

    Luan Qing Xiao turned her head. The tall and handsome man had bent over and stretched out his hand in Nie Zhen'er's direction.

    "General Bian, my apologies. I already have a dance partner."

    Bian Rui Ling, the youngest general in the empire, withdrew his hand. He has his own pride. After being rejected, he would no longer continue to pester Nie Zhen'er, even if Nie Zhen'er was the future king.

    However, he was still a little unwilling. He wanted to know what kind of woman had captured Nie Zhen'er's heart.

     Bian Rui Ling raised his head to look at Luan Qing Xiao, yet was transfixed the moment he saw Luan Qing Xiao's face.
