Chapter 111 Request
Su Qingqing's face turned cold as she was deducted a glass of wine from her nice palace dress and she turned to look at the palace maid.
She was a general who had experienced fighting on the battlefield. When she looked at him with a cold look, the palace maid felt her whole body go cold, her knees went weak, and she fell to her knees.
"What's wrong?" The Queen Mother frowned and asked.
Su Qingqing looked at the palace maid without saying a word.
The maid knelt beside Su Qingqing, trembling with fear, "When I was pouring wine for the Crown Princess, I accidentally knocked over the wine cup."
This kind of thing has happened many times in previous palace banquets.
When the wine was spilled , the person involved got up and changed his clothes. The palace maid who did something wrong...
Generally, there are no palace maids who do wrong things for no reason. Those who do wrong are always instructed by someone behind the scenes, and at most they are punished a few words in public.
If her master succeeds in what he wants, she will be the hero. If her master fails, there will be bigger masters above to punish her master, and it will not be her turn as a little palace maid.
At best, he would be beaten with a few boards and slapped in the face a few times.
But now, kneeling on the ground, the palace maid felt that she was about to be frightened to death by the Crown Princess's gaze.
"This servant did not mean to do that. Please forgive me, Crown Princess."
When such a commotion was heard here, the entire banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked towards Su Qingqing.
Su Qingqing still said nothing, just looked at her with her eyes lowered.
The Queen glanced at the Queen Mother and sternly rebuked the maid: "Since the wine has been confiscated, why don't you help the Crown Princess to change her clothes? What are you standing here for?"
Upon hearing this, the palace maid stood up and tried to support Su Qingqing.
Su Qingqing sat there motionless, still not saying a word.
A smile flashed across Qin Wanru's eyes, and at this moment, her heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally settled down.
Su Qingqing must have come prepared.
The maid stood trembling on the side. She couldn't just pull the Crown Princess up from the chair. But what should she do now...
The maid looked at the queen helplessly.
The queen was also stunned.
What is Su Qingqing going to do?
The Queen Mother leaned forward and changed her sitting position, "Hurry up and help the Crown Princess to change her clothes."
Maid: ...
I'm just an ordinary palace maid, why are you making things difficult for me?
Are you all blind!
Can't you see that the Crown Princess doesn't even get up!
The palace maid just wanted to burst into tears.
Su Qingqing sat there with her eyebrows and eyes motionless.
The Queen Mother said to Su Qingqing: "Are you angry, Qingqing? This skirt..."
Su Qingqing didn't wait for the Queen Mother to finish her words. She turned around and looked over with a frighteningly cold expression. "This skirt was made by my mother herself before my granddaughter-in-law got married."
Jixiang stood behind Su Qingqing and rolled his eyes in his heart.
You are such a good storyteller!
Our queen doesn't do needlework at all!
Your Majesty will not allow her to harm her eyes and hands like that!
Su Qingqing spoke each word with emphasis, "This symbolizes my mother's love for me."
Queen Mother...
There are at least nine hundred scattered flowers on this skirt, if not a thousand. If you say that this was made by the Queen of Zhao herself, who would believe it?
But since they said so, she couldn't refute it.
"I know you feel bad, but that's why you need to change it quickly. Have it washed in time so that there won't be wine stains."
Su Qingqing shook her head and said sincerely, "Even if the wine stains are washed off, my mother's kindness has been trampled upon!"
The noble and elegant Queen Mother: Damn it!
"Where do you work?" Su Qingqing turned and asked the maid.
The maid subconsciously looked at the queen and said, "I am a second-class maid in the queen's palace."
"A second-class maid is considered excellent, not to mention that you are working in the queen mother's bedroom. How can you spill the wine cup when pouring wine?"
After a pause, Su Qingqing looked at the queen.
"In our Zhao country, if wine cups are knocked over or clothes are soaked during a banquet, it means someone is trying to cause trouble."
The guests: How can you say that?
In our Great Yan Kingdom, this is going to cause trouble!
The queen's face suddenly darkened. "What do you mean? Do you think I want to harm you?"
Su Qingqing looked directly at the Queen, "Of course my mother won't harm me, but I can't guarantee that others will do something to me. After all, I am the most beautiful person today, and I stole the limelight from others!"
guests:……
Is the Crown Princess mentally ill?
It's fine to think that you are the most beautiful in your mind, but can you say it directly?
The Queen was so angry at Su Qingqing's words that she laughed, "You are the Crown Princess, who dares to harm you!"
Su Qingqing curled her lips, "I am the Crown Princess, and a maidservant of Su Yunyun could reach into the Queen Mother's bedroom, and even drugged the tea she served me in the Queen Mother's bedroom, drugged the medicine she gave me for examination, and even bribed the imperial physician.
A maidservant is so well-informed, who knows who else there is! "
These words were directed at the Queen Mother.
So, as soon as she finished speaking, Su Qingqing looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, full of provocation, "So, granddaughter-in-law suspects that it was someone close to Su Yunyun who did it. After all, she is the protagonist today."
The Queen Mother angrily slammed the table and said, "Nonsense."
Su Qingqing was not afraid at all. "Where is Su Yunyun? This is her farewell banquet, why isn't she, the main character, present?"
The Queen Mother's face turned green. "It was just that the maid accidentally knocked over the wine cup. If you cherish this skirt, I will reward you with a better one. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Su Qingqing suddenly changed the subject, "Since the Ninth Prince of Nanliang and Su Yunyun are like sisters, why didn't she invite her to the farewell banquet today?"
Of course not.
The Queen Mother was planning to trick Su Qingqing at the banquet today, but it was a scandal after all, and she certainly didn't want the people of Nanliang to know about it.
"The Ninth Prince's wife was not feeling well and therefore did not come. Are you going to make a fuss about this?"
"Let Su Yunyun explain it to me clearly, and I'll let it go. If she can't explain it clearly..." Su Qingqing drew out a long tone, stood up, turned around and pinched the maid's jaw.
The maidservant struggled in pain.
However, Su Qingqing's hand was like a pair of iron clamps and she couldn't break free at all.
With a sneer, Su Qingqing stood there, sweeping the guests like a soldier on a battlefield, "If I can't explain it clearly, Su Yunyun was able to harm me once before, and now she can bully me a second time. Who knows what I will face if I go to change my skirt!"
"How dare you! What do you think my bedroom is?" The queen stood up in anger.
Su Qingqing looked directly at the Queen, "Your Majesty's bedroom is precious, so why can Su Yunyun's maid do evil things in the Queen Mother's bedroom?"
"Don't mess around!"
"I want to see Su Yunyun." Su Qingqing said loudly, "Otherwise I have reason to doubt, don't I? If the Queen Mother and the Royal Grandmother favor her like this, then I have nothing to say, but I want to take back the gift I gave to Su Yunyun, and I will not bless her anymore."
Everyone: ...
Well?
Queen: Huh?
Queen Mother: Ah?
Jixiang: Our master is so good at turning things around!
It was a wonderful banquet, but it ended up in a stalemate.
Until a palace maid came in hurriedly from outside, she planned to go around behind the guests to the queen.
