a touch of elegance. Even from three feet away, one can smell the faint fragrance of wood from the qin.A few transparent strings were quietly connected to the body of the qin. In the sunlight, they s..."Big brother, the show's about to begin." Su Qingying’s phoenix eyes sparkled as she straightened her body and leaned towards Su Ziyix, elbowing him playfully with a mischievous smile.

"Huh" Su Ziyì blinked, a face full of confusion.

"Heh heh, it's a secret. Just you wait and see the show, Big Brother," she smirked, her fingers tracing her smooth, delicate jawline.

“......” A large drop of sweat trickled down the corner of Su Ziyix's eye, and he looked away somewhat speechless.

Looking at her familiar expression, Su Ziyi silently lit countless candles for Su Mo Xue in his heart again.

Having crossed this little witch, Su Mo Xue is going to be in for a world of hurt!

On the other side, as they spoke, Su Mo Xue had already begun to dance gracefully. Her dancing skills were far less impressive compared to Lan Xin Yao and Zhao Ruo Zhi, lacking any distinct features. However, she was a princess after all, and even if her dance moves were unremarkable, the officials present couldn't help but put on a facade of awe and appreciation.

Just as Su Moxue was about to reach the climax, Su Qingying, who had almost fallen asleep, suddenly came to her senses. Her eyes, sparkling like waves on the surface of a lake, reflected excitement. "Imperial brother, open your eyes wide and don't blink. Three, two, one!"

"Rip—"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mo Xue's beautiful dress began to tear apart at a visible speed, like withered leaves, fluttering lightly and scattering on the ground.

Many people in the audience had started to doze off, but this sudden striptease performance instantly jolted everyone awake. A pair of hungry eyes, like wolves, were glued to Su Mo Xue's body.

“Ah! My princess’s clothes!” Su Moxue was completely naked, covering her upper body but not her lower. Under everyone’s gaze, she was seen through from head to toe, and she was so frightened that she was at a loss for words. She screamed loudly, “Don’t look! You all can’t look! Mother concubine, save me!”

"Oh dear! My Xue'er, quickly, put this on!" The Consort De reacted and hastily took off her own cloak and wrapped it around Xue'er.

Held in De Fei's arms, Su Mo Xue couldn't help but tremble all over, her heart turning cold.

It's over for her, she's ruined. Being seen like this by so many people, her life is over. Who would ever marry her now

Why Her clothes were fine, how could they suddenly break Wasn't Su Qingying's clothes tampered with How could this happen

“Wow! Second Sister, your dance is amazing. You made your clothes disappear in an instant. How did you do that” As if Xian Su Mo Xue wasn't embarrassing enough, Su Qingying tilted her head slightly, smiling innocently.

Su Mo Xue was fuming, and then she heard that gloating voice, her pretty face instantly twisted in anger.

Suddenly raising her head, she glared at Su Qingying. Seeing the obvious playfulness and mockery in her eyes, Su Mo Xue felt a burning sensation in her chest. If she still didn't know what was going on at this point, she would be an idiot!

Su Qingying knew about it long ago! Not only that, she even used her schemes to frame her!

Su Mo Xue's face contorted into a ferocious grimace, her beautiful eyes blazing with venomous flames as she glared fixatedly at Su Qing Ying seated across from her. "Shut up! Su Qing Ying! It was you, it had to be you..."

“Shut up! Don’t drag Yinger into everything, don’t you think it’s embarrassing enough Get down and change your clothes!” Su Moxue lost her composure in front of all the civil and military officials. Su Chengming was already furious, but now she was blaming everything on Su Qingying. Su Chengming couldn't bear it anymore, he slammed his hand on the table, his face dark as he ordered her to leave.

Dragon's countenance darkened with fury, all civil and military officials knelt in unison, each one daring not utter a word, silent as cicadas in winter.

The Dowager Empress paled instantly, pulling a furious Su Mo Xue back to prevent her from completely losing her composure. She gestured for her to quickly apologize, “Xue’er, listen to your father!”

Su Mo Xue bit her lip, took a deep breath, and reluctantly turned her head away. “ … Yes, Xue’er takes her leave.”

"Yinger, is this yours" Watching Su Mo Xue and De Fei leave, Su Zi Yi frowned slightly, asking in a low voice.

"Well, an eye for an eye then." Su Qingying raised her teacup and sipped the fragrant tea. The misty vapor passed through her long, curled eyelashes, making her already stunning beauty even more ethereal.

Xier stood behind Su Qingying, seeing Su Ziyi frown, fearing he would blame her. She whispered to him angrily, "Your Highness, don't blame the princess. It was the Third Princess who tampered with the princess's clothes first. If it weren't for the princess discovering it in time, perhaps the one who would have been embarrassed in public would be the Third Princess."

"What!" Upon hearing this, Su Ziyi was taken aback. Immediately, a cold look flashed across his handsome face.

"Big brother, you won't be angry with me, will you" Looking at Su Ziyi's expression, Su Qingying fell silent for a moment, suddenly feeling a little remorseful.

How could she forget Su Mo Xue, no matter how she put it, was the emperor's half-sister, a princess of Dongyue Kingdom. She humiliated her in public, didn't she lose face for Dongyue Kingdom

As the Crown Prince of Dongyue, my elder brother wouldn't be angry!

“No, Ying’er has done very well. How could the imperial brother be angry with you The imperial brother is only blaming himself for not being able to protect you well. That something like this happened, and the imperial brother only knew about it now.” Su Ziyi sighed softly, raised his hand to gently touch her head, his warm and luxurious voice couldn't hide his self-blame.

Just now, he even thought her action was inappropriate, but he didn't expect there to be such a reason behind it.

If you don't provoke her, she won't provoke you.

But, he didn't expect that even back in his own country, he still couldn't protect her well. He was truly a failure as an older brother!

“It’s not your fault, Brother Emperor. I know you, as the Crown Prince, are busy with official duties every day. It’s normal not to know, and besides, this isn’t a big deal. I don’t want to bother you.” Seeing that Su Ziyix wasn’t angry with her, Su Qingying finally let out a breath of relief. She hadn’t expected him to blame himself for this. At that moment, her heart was filled with warmth, and the exquisite little face bloomed into a wide smile.

"You, huh." Su Ziyi smiled helplessly, gazing at her playful expression.

At the banquet, seeing Su Mo Xue's disgrace, Su Mo Yun had to step down. She rolled her eyes and immediately stepped out of the crowd, "Father Emperor, Yun'er thinks this banquet is rather boring. Since the Second Princess is unable to perform, why not let Yun'er entertain everyone Yun'er's calligraphy and painting should still be pleasing to your eyes."

Su Mo Yun is still very confident in her ink and wash dance. Last year, she won first place with that ink and wash dance!

"Alright." Su Chengming rubbed his aching temples and waved his hand.

As Su Mo'yun ordered someone to bring in the Xuan paper screen, and went to change her dance costume, Su Qingying beckoned to Xi'er, who leaned down slightly. "Xi'er, is everything alright"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this is going to be a piece of cake!" Xi'er patted her chest, her eyes twinkling with the same sly cunning as Su Qingying.u Qingying and Su Ziyixing tacitly moved aside, and Su Chengming, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked out calmly, standing at the front.Glancing coldly at Ji Yan'er, who was sprawled on the...
