Chapter 28: I Ugly, I Proud
a faint smile. He dismounted, his azure robes fluttering in the wind, making him even more handsome and radiant."Minister Rong, please don't be so modest."Su Ziyì admired this top-ranked prodigy who,..."Hmph, what's wrong with me being beautiful Does it bother you two so much I'm proud of my looks. If you have the guts, try to be as beautiful as me! What are you sour about Am I blinding you" Su Qingying didn't get angry but laughed back, rolling her eyes again. She clearly wasn't taking their personal attacks to heart.
Anyway, after tonight, her appearance will be restored. There's no need to waste time arguing with these two mad dogs.
...Seeing Su Qingying accept their sarcasm without any resistance, Zhao Ruozhi and Lan Feiyu's faces turned pale with embarrassment. They felt like they had punched through a cloud of cotton.
This idiot, how come his skin is so thick He even takes pride in being ugly!
“Bang!” Su Ziyi slammed his palm on the table, his voice cold and intimidating. “Princess Jinling, Miss Lan, please be careful with your words! How dare you slander the princess of our mighty Dongyue Kingdom Is this how Ximing treats guests from Dongyue This hospitality is truly an eye-opener for this palace!”
Seeing that the situation had escalated, Lan Bo quickly offered an apology. "Your Highness Dong Yue, please forgive me. My daughter was poorly raised and didn't know her place. Please be magnanimous, Your Highness. Fei Yu, quickly apologize to Your Highness Dong Yue!"
"No need, Xi Ming is so arrogant and disrespectful. This palace can't bear it!" The icy voice was like being wrapped in frost, Su Ziyi was clearly truly angry.
The atmosphere was tense. At this point, if Emperor Xuanyuan Luocheng didn't speak up, it would be hard to justify. Seeing him open his mouth with a cold voice: "Right Minister, I see you are getting old!"
This profound remark sent chills down Lan Bo's spine. He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it is my fault for failing to discipline my daughter. Please punish me!"
Seeing her own father kneeling on the ground, Lan Feiyu was only then struck with fear, realizing the seriousness of the situation. She hurriedly knelt down beside him, her body trembling like a sieve.
Zhao RuZhi was also a late bloomer. Although Nanjiang and Dongyue were both among the four great nations, Nanjiang was the weakest of the four. If she angered Su ZiYi, she would be in trouble.
Glancing coldly at Lan Bo kneeling in the hall, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's cold eyes flickered. Now was not the time to deal with this old fox.
With a faint smile, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen raised his wine cup and said, "Prince of Dongyue, I'll punish myself with a cup as an apology. I hope you can forgive me."
Saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Even an emperor would say so, if we keep calculating, it wouldn't be a good look for them from Dongyue. But Su Qingying wasn't the kind to let grudges fester, "Brother Emperor, forget about it. If a dog bites us, can we bite back After all, dogs are animals. To hold a grudge against them would lower our status. Just let them bark as they please. However, this is a public place after all, so I suggest you buy some sturdy leashes for your dogs and keep them on a tight rein. That way, they won't bite random people."
"Pfft—cough cough..." Shangguan Jinghong couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of wine, coughing violently, "Little girl, you've offended both Ximeng and Nanjiang!"
Raising an eyebrow, Su Qingying's lips curled into a hint of sarcastic smile. "I didn't mention any names. Whoever wants to take it personally is their own problem. The Right Minister of Ximing is just a high-ranking official, he can hardly replace the entire Ximing."
Hearing this, Shangguan Jinghong's lips curled slightly. This girl was truly clever; with a few words, she had effortlessly distanced Xi Ming. Now, even if the ministers of Xi Ming were dissatisfied, they couldn't say anything.
He glanced at Ximing Youxiang and then at the envoy from Nanjiang. Every face was as dark as a pig's liver!
"Yue once heard that the Fifth Princess of Dongyue had a green spot on her face, which was terrifying. Now that she sees her, she realizes that the rumors are not true at all. Rumors deceive people." Just then, Rong Yue, the Left Minister, suddenly chuckled softly, seemingly casually saying.marry her daughter." 。Fearing that Lan Bo might harm Xuanyuan Che, Lan Xin Yao quickly spoke up. 。Regardless of whether Xuan Yuan Che was willing to marry her, she absolutely couldn't let Xuan Yuan Ch...
