Reading Settings
"Princess Consort Cheng, I was really trying to be kind by swatting the mosquito for you. If I hadn't swatted it for you, you would have been bitten by it and might have gotten a welt on your face."
The palace banquet is about to begin. If you have a smear on your face, people will laugh at you! You're not grateful that I helped you swat the mosquito, and you actually expect me to apologize to you?
Princess Consort Cheng, aren't you being incredibly unreasonable?
Su Liluo pretended to be aggrieved and said loudly.
"You, you really have a silver tongue, how can you talk about hitting someone so confidently? I think you're the shameless one!"
Princess Cheng was furious. She never expected Su Liluo to actually slap her in this situation, and even come up with such a ridiculous reason.
Killing mosquitoes?
How big can a mosquito bite cause a welt?
Besides, there weren't even any mosquitoes!
"Princess Consort, how could you do this? I clearly saw it just now, there were no mosquitoes at all. You're just making trouble and finding excuses to try and beat me into becoming a princess."
"Aren't you afraid of embarrassing your brother, the Crown Prince, by acting so arrogantly outside?"
Suddenly, Princess Changning walked over from the side.
Hearing the commotion, Xiao Ye and the others walked back to Su Liluo's side.
"What's wrong, Luo'er? Did they bully you?"
He had been preoccupied with discussing political matters with Prince Xiao and hadn't noticed what had happened to Su Liluo and the others.
Upon hearing Changning's words, his first reaction was that Changning and his group were trying to cause trouble again.
"What do you mean we bullied her? It was clearly her who bullied Princess Cheng! She even slapped Princess Cheng in this kind of situation! Crown Prince, aren't you going to discipline the Crown Princess properly!"
Before Su Lilu could answer, Princess Changning, who was standing to the side, saw Xiao Ye walk to Su Lilu's side and show her such gentle concern, and she was immediately filled with jealousy.
"I didn't ask you!"
Xiao Ye coldly reprimanded Chang Ning.
The weight of the words brought tears to Changning's eyes.
Why?
Why does the Crown Prince favor his Crown Princess so much?
Even though the Crown Princess behaved like a shrew in this situation, the Crown Prince wasn't angry.
She was extremely unwilling, but when she met Xiao Ye's cold and stern gaze, she didn't dare to say a word.
“Husband, they are framing me. I was clearly swatting mosquitoes for Princess Cheng, but they insist that I hit Princess Cheng.”
Su Liluo said to Xiao Ye in a coquettish tone.
"I see. Then Princess Cheng and the others were in the wrong."
Seeing the cunning in Su Liluo's eyes, Xiao Ye followed her words.
Princess Cheng, seeing Xiao Ye like this, became even angrier.
She pointed angrily at Su Liluo and said, "Fine, since you said you'd help me kill mosquitoes, then tell me where the mosquitoes are? Show me the dead mosquitoes you just killed!"
She simply didn't believe the Crown Princess could produce it!
If she can't produce it, it proves she's lying!
"This...you really want to see it? What happens if I see it? What happens if I don't see it?"
Su Liluo feigned surprise.
"If I saw it, I'll apologize to you; if I didn't see it, then you'd better kneel down and apologize to me!"
Princess Cheng said.
"That's not fair. If you saw it, you should kneel down and apologize to me too."
Su Liluo sighed.
Princess Cheng is really greedy to still want to take advantage at this time!
"Okay, I promise! Now show me the mosquito you swatted!"
Princess Cheng gritted her teeth and agreed.
Although her little scheme was discovered, she still firmly believed that Su Liluo definitely couldn't produce a mosquito corpse.
After all, who wants a mosquito to stay on their hand after swatting it?
Besides, there were no mosquitoes at all.
She insisted that Su Liluo kneel down and apologize later, and then...
"Look, a mosquito, isn't that right?"
Just as Princess Cheng was thinking about how to humiliate Su Liluo later, she saw Su Liluo generously open her palms to everyone.
In the middle of her fair and delicate palm, a relatively large mosquito was lying quietly.
Everyone around was stunned.
Princess Cheng was even more incredulous, "Where...where did this come from?"
"This is what hit you in the face, buzzing so annoyingly!"
Su Lilu smiled faintly.
Actually, she had just taken this mosquito out of her spatial storage, and it was a poisonous mosquito that could only be used as a medicinal ingredient.
Princess Cheng's face instantly turned pale and then red, her mouth agape in shock for a long time.
How could this be? How could there be such a big mosquito on her face?
Didn't she feel any mosquitoes on her face just now?
"Princess Consort Cheng, apologize!"
Just as Princess Cheng was stunned and couldn't believe it, Xiao Ye's cold voice came.
At the same time, his gaze was like a knife, slicing across Princess Cheng's body.
Upon hearing the commotion, Prince Cheng rushed over, intending to speak up for Princess Cheng, but upon seeing Xiao Ye's cold and stern demeanor, he immediately retreated.
He felt that Princess Cheng had tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, making him lose face.
In the end, Princess Cheng could only kneel down and apologize to Su Liluo, feeling frustrated and unwilling.
"Hey, you were really good just now! You actually swatted a mosquito right off Princess Cheng's face. That mosquito appeared just in time!"
After the crowd dispersed, Chu Yan quietly praised Su Liluo.
Su Liluo just smiled and said that this is called the wicked getting their just desserts.
Soon, the banquet began.
Su Liluo and Chu Yan sat down at adjacent tables. After they were seated, the Emperor, Empress, and concubines took their seats as well.
Consort Liu, who had been under house arrest for a long time, was also released on the day of the Emperor's birthday banquet.
