Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

I always feel like something is wrong.

Isn't it you who bullies others during the most serious moments?

But right now.

The boy's words were perfectly correct.

hiss.

Could it be that she's been overthinking things lately?

Her Majesty the Empress fell into a brief period of self-doubt.

But that's all.

That being the case.

Then-

"Oh, right."

"And one more thing."

He was just about to send someone to invite the eldest princess.

She had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by the boy's voice.

Her Majesty the Empress: "..."

She rolled her eyes inwardly.

She knew it!

How could Su Qing possibly let her get what she wanted so easily!

But you didn't expect that, did you?

She had already mentally prepared herself for this.

Having already suffered too many losses in the same place, she was now on guard!

now.

"Just as I expected," she thought, not at all surprised.

Ji Lanxin calmly took back what she was about to say, and then said calmly.

"Brother Su, please tell me."

Should I wear only one garment like last time, or should I show myself now and serve this little thief?

She is no longer afraid of anything!

then.

Then the young man spoke slowly.

"I've been busy all morning and haven't eaten yet. I'm getting a little hungry."

"Please order some more rice and dishes."

what?

For a moment, Ji Lanxin thought that something was wrong with her ears again.

It was her responsibility to prepare the meals.

Instead of treating Her Majesty the Empress like food, right?

Because I was too shocked.

Princess Dumb even asked again.

"what?"

Su Qing raised an eyebrow and said calmly.

"how."

"The eldest princess left a traction array in the dragon vein, and incidentally injured your ear as well?"

"You can't even hear me clearly at such close range, Your Majesty. Your health is worrying. Should we fetch a pharmacist for you right now?"

Ji Lanxin: "..."

well.

You heard right.

This kind of infuriating way of speaking can only be found in Su Qing!

but--

Princess Dumpling looked at the boy's calm and composed expression.

He always seemed so calm and composed, no matter what the big problem was, he would just laugh it off.

Seeing him like this.

My previously confused and anxious heart has been calmed down considerably by the boy's few words.

Although I still want an answer, I'm not as upset as I used to be.

and……

I know she's feeling a bit down right now.

That's why they didn't bully her like they usually do.

Her Majesty the Empress couldn't help but let out a soft hum in her heart.

At once.

Even if it's only now that I'm starting to care about her.

Her impression of this petty thief will absolutely not change!

But no matter how stubborn he is.

The inopportune surge of excitement that welled up inside her gradually calmed her down.

"cough!"

"Brother Su, all you do is bully me."

"It's almost lunchtime, so why don't we invite my sister to come and eat with us?"

Su Qing said she had no objection.

After a while.

The eldest princess arrived as promised.

She was not surprised by the Empress's summons.

Having emerged from the dragon vein, one should, in principle, return to report.

and.

The eldest princess always felt that, given Su Qingxian's personality, even if she hadn't discovered anything, she wouldn't let her guard down too much.

Upon seeing the young man beside the Empress.

This conjecture has been confirmed.

really.

Su Qingxian probably sent this underling to remind the Empress to be careful about the dragon vein or something like that.

but--

This was within her expectations.

Not surprising.

The saintess did not come empty-handed.

She was also carrying an exquisite box.

"His Majesty."

Just as he was about to bow.

Princess Shameless quickly said.

"No need."

"It's just a family lunch, why are you being so polite with me, sister?"

Although that's what the Empress said.

But the eldest princess still insisted on completing the formalities.

His movements were elegant and composed, with a gentle smile playing on his lips.

It makes people want to get close to it.

Her long, dark golden hair was pulled up high.

A few wisps of hair framed her smooth, fair neck, which was fully revealed when she bent over.

When I got up again.

The eldest princess finally showed a look of doting affection, smiled and glanced at Ji Lanxin, and said.

"Now you are the Empress of the Dynasty."

"The proper etiquette must not be neglected."

"That will help you establish your authority. It's just a matter of etiquette; it won't bother me."

So understanding.

In the words.

All of these stemmed from their understanding and concern for their younger sister, the Empress.

If it is normal.

She must be incredibly moved by now.

but--

Princess Dumb couldn't help but pinch her hand hanging by her side.

After learning about the tricks her sister had done to the dragon vein.

Now look at the older sister.

But somehow it all felt a bit insincere.

Princess Dumb was acutely aware of this.

My idealized image of my sister seems to be shattering.

"Ah."

"Thank you sister."

Princess Shameless managed a weak smile.

"Oh right, sister, what's wrong with you?!"

"Ok?"

Ji Lanxin was speaking when she suddenly made a strange noise.

The eldest princess looked over in confusion.

The Empress quickly composed herself and explained.

"I accidentally bumped my hand on the table."

"fine."

"Why are you so careless?"

The eldest princess affectionately took her hand and examined it carefully.
