I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

Chapter 246: The Deadlock is Broken, and the Banquet Begins

Xiao Simin was stunned by these questions, and then nodded: "Yes, this agate was tributed by other vassal states. There are only a few of them, so my father made this bracelet for me. It is indeed unique in the entire Dai Viet Kingdom."

Qiao Linxi smiled and said, "Since it is unique, then this bracelet does not belong to the princess. The princess should not look for it elsewhere."

Xiao Simin was confused by this. This was clearly her bracelet, and she had someone put it into Qiao Linxi's sleeve personally. How could it not be hers?

"Princess Huai'an, this is the princess' bracelet. We have all seen the princess wearing it. Please return it to her immediately."

“Sister Lin Xi, return it to the princess quickly, lest she annoy the princess.”

Qiao Wan'er had a look of gloating on her face. She hoped that Xiao Simin would vent her anger on Qiao Linxi and even better, drag Qiao Linxi down and behead her. That way, she would always be the eldest daughter of the Qiao family.

"Hurry up and give it back to the princess. She will be generous and will not hold it against you."

Qiao Linxi looked at Mrs. Qiao, who looked very unhappy, and shook her head: "I said, this is not the princess's bracelet, it's mine."

"You..." Old Mrs. Qiao was so angry at Qiao Linxi's words that her chest heaved up and down: "How can you have such a bad habit and tell lies. This bracelet clearly belongs to the princess, but you said it's yours. How could our Qiao family have a granddaughter like you who doesn't understand things."

Facing the accusations from Old Lady Qiao, Qiao Linxi did not have much emotional fluctuation. She was not a member of the Qiao family, so she would not be hurt by the so-called family affection.

"I said it's mine so it's mine."

"Nonsense, this clearly belongs to the princess. You are shameless, Qiao Linxi. You stole the princess's things. If it were me, I would say that a thief like you should be dragged down and beaten to death!"

"Princess Huaian, this is indeed Simin's. If you like it, I will send someone to give you some other ones someday."

The queen also spoke, and everyone thought that it was Qiao Linxi who saw that Xiao Simin's bracelet was beautiful and stole it.

After all, they had seen Xiao Simin wearing this bracelet before.

"Empress, do you also think that I stole the Ninth Princess' bracelet?"

This shouldn't be the case. As the queen of a country, don't you have this little ability to distinguish?

Oh, Qiao Linxi forgot that the Queen is Xiao Simin’s biological mother, so she would naturally speak for Xiao Simin.

This seemed to be a dead end, and everyone was waiting to see Qiao Linxi make a fool of herself.

"It's indeed the princess's." The queen looked at Qiao Linxi with a proper smile.

"The princess said your bracelet is unique, so this bracelet is not yours."

As he spoke, Qiao Linxi took out another identical bracelet from his sleeve. "Because, I have a lot of bracelets like this."

As if to vent his anger, Qiao Linxi took out four or five strings from his sleeves in one breath, and each string was exactly the same as the one Xiao Simin had.

"This……"

Xiao Simin was stunned. This bracelet was indeed hers, but how could Qiao Linxi also have one? And there were so many of them.

Others didn't understand either. This bracelet clearly belonged to the Ninth Princess, and they all knew it was unique. But now there were so many of them. What was going on?

"Princess, can you see clearly? Your bracelet is unique, but I have many similar ones."

"This, may... may..."

Xiao Simin stammered and couldn't give a reason.

"Princess, your bracelet is here. I found it."

A palace maid squeezed into the crowd with a bracelet wrapped in a handkerchief, "It's here."

"So you are here. It seems that I have misunderstood Princess Huai'an. I am sorry."

When Xiao Simin saw the bracelet, she felt relieved and took the bracelet along with the handkerchief.

She did not open it because she knew that the bracelet under the handkerchief was definitely not her agate bracelet; only the tassel was the same.

"It's good to find it. Princess, you must be more careful next time. Don't lose it and then say someone picked it up."

Qiao Linxi had a calm expression and what he said made Xiao Simin's face turn pale and blue.

"Okay, since it's just a misunderstanding and the princess has already apologized, just stop talking."

Qiao Linxi was scolded by Old Lady Qiao again.

Ha! She doesn’t want to be the eldest daughter of this poor Qiao family anymore.

How could she be as happy in Lan Qingcheng in this capital?

The farce was over and it was evening. The Queen Mother glanced coldly at the Queen and Xiao Simin and said, "The banquet should begin. Everyone please take your seats."

Everyone rushed into the hall again, and the palace banquet officially began.

"The county master..."

Li Luoyun pulled Qiao Linxi's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "How did you do it?"

A unique bracelet fell into Qiao Linxi's hands and turned into many bracelets, and the deadly situation set by the Ninth Princess was broken.

"Buddha said, don't say it!"

Qiao Linxi smiled and handed a bracelet to Li Luoyun: "Here's one for you. I don't really like wearing these things."

Li Luoyun did not dare to take it. She was afraid that Qiao Linxi had used some psychedelic techniques to make people see that she had several bracelets in her hands that were exactly the same as the Ninth Princess's.

"Take it. I can have as many bracelets of this kind as you want."

Seeing Li Luoyun's concerns, Qiao Linxi took out another string and gave it to her.

Li Luoyun took it and squeezed it. The cool feel confirmed that it was the real thing. The stone in her heart fell, and she took it happily.

They are all at the age of blooming flowers, which girl doesn’t love beauty?

Qiao Linxi turned around and handed two more bracelets to Princess Qinghe. These things were all reproduced by the system and were genuine. Qiao Linxi had to give them away and let others wear them to prove that she did not steal Xiao Simin's bracelets.

Phew! She was so tired! She wanted to leave.

After everyone took their seats, Qiao Linxi's seat was very conspicuous, even more prominent than Xiao Simin's.

The emperor, empress and queen mother sat at the top, followed by rows of male guests and female guests, arranged according to their status.

It can be said that Qiao Linxi sat at the head of the female guests. Above her was the empress dowager, and opposite her was the prince.

This position was really eye-catching. Qiao Linxi felt like a monkey in a zoo, being watched by everyone.

Many of the male guests opposite looked at Qiao Linxi. They were all young men from wealthy families, and none of them had ever seen this influential figure.

After the emperor gave a few opening remarks, the banquet officially began. The graceful dancers came in one after another and danced gracefully to the music.

At such a large banquet, there won't be only dancers performing. The young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families will all show their talents, hoping to shine at the banquet.

Looking at the girl who was playing the piano seriously, Qiao Linxi had wrong thoughts. It looked like a commodity trying hard to show itself off with the intention of being "sold" at a good price.

Thinking of this, Qiao Linxi couldn't help laughing.

"Pfft..."

The scene was silent, but Qiao Linxi's sneer was particularly loud.

What kind of large-scale social death scene is this?
