Upon hearing this, Yue Ling covered her mouth and smiled and said: County Princess, why don’t we not tell her that I ate the pastries?

Zi Xue also smiled and said: That girl has a dog's nose. When she sniffs you, she will be able to smell everything.

Yue Ling said speechlessly: Okay, I'll leave this piece to her.

Zi Xue laughed and said: “No need, after the banquet is over, the emperor and I will just ask for some to take back.”

When the time comes, just say that this is what you left for her, and she will definitely share any delicious food with you.

Yue Ling was speechless: Lingling is not a fool, how could she not know that this was brought back by the county lord.

Zi Xue was speechless when she heard this: Okay, I was stupid. I actually forgot that this is the imperial palace.

In addition to eating cakes, the master and servant also ate a lot of dishes. The dishes here were actually not very delicious, and the portions were too small.

There were only two or three pieces on each plate, but Zixue would eat one piece herself, and if she liked it, she would give one piece to the maid.

The food on their table was gone just as it was served.

Everyone was speechless. They only had a few pieces and they gave them to the maid.

Yue Ling said happily: "County Lady, please eat it. It's just a little bit, too little. Don't share it with me."

Zi Xue said: It's not that there are not enough, but there are too many types. If you eat too much at once, you won't be able to eat the rest of the dishes.

So each person was only given one or two bites, and then they ate the rest of the dishes with their stomachs running.

Upon hearing this, Yue Ling was no longer polite. She would eat anything Zi Xue gave her.

In the end, she couldn't eat any more, and only one-third of the food was served.

Zixue smiled and said: Can’t you eat anymore?

There are many more to come. After all, today is the emperor’s birthday. If not 108 dishes, there will be at least dozens.

And I am the county princess, so I should have sixty or seventy dishes.

After the meal, there were various performances, and naturally the princesses from other countries would come up to perform.

The princess of Tianxue Kingdom was a little resentful of Zixue because of what she said to Leng Fei.

Just now they heard that this county lady had never learned any talents, so she took the initiative to target Zixue.

The princess of Tianxue Kingdom came on stage and said: Lengyan of Tianxue Kingdom, I heard that everyone in your country, from the princess to the daughters of ministers, have many talents. Today, I would like to compete with you all.

It can also be considered as a birthday celebration for your country's emperor.

Everyone was speechless after hearing these words. It would be fine if the common people could not hear these words, but here were members of the royal family and the families of ministers, how could they not hear the hidden meaning in these words?

Leng Fei did not expect that his imperial sister would do such a thing.

Even a fool would know that this is aimed at the county lady.

Unfortunately, it was too late for him to stop it. Just based on the ability that the county lord had just displayed, not everyone would dare to target her. And the slap she had just given Yun Tianyu was something that even he might not be able to take.

Does your imperial sister really think that the county princess dares to beat up the prince of her own country, so she would care about you, a princess from another country who came to celebrate her birthday?

Even the princes and princesses from other countries were stunned. You are here to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor of Nebula Kingdom, right? Is it really okay for you to do this?

Not to mention that you are a princess, even if you are a prince, as long as you don't want the two countries to go to war, you basically won't cause trouble in such occasions.

The emperor looked at the princess of Tianxue Country and thought, do you really think that girl has no talent? Just embroidery, how can you embroider it? So he smiled without any burden and said: I agree.

The emperor was thinking the same thing as the concubines in the harem. Her embroidery skills alone were enough to crush those in the Imperial Clothing Bureau, not to mention that she also knew kung fu.

Embroidery can show a person's calligraphy and painting skills. Although those who are good at calligraphy and painting may not be good at embroidery, those who are good at embroidery will definitely be good at calligraphy and painting.

The Princess of Tianxue Kingdom also thought of Zixue's embroidery just now, and quickly said: The county princess's embroidery is so good, it can't be compared with calligraphy and painting.

After saying this, everyone was speechless.

Zi Xue glanced at the princess and said: I wonder if the princess has any prize?

Don't bring out the small prize and embarrass yourself. After all, the Princess of Tianxue Kingdom just said that this is to celebrate the birthday of my Emperor of Xingyun Kingdom.

Since it was a birthday party, the stakes should be high, right? Should we bet on a few cities? Or the princess herself?

When these words were spoken, not only the Nebula Kingdom, but even the princes and princesses of other countries were shocked. How could this suddenly escalate to the point of betting on themselves and the city?

Leng Yan broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. How should he answer this?

Using a city as a bet, not to mention a princess like her, even a prince wouldn't dare to do that. And using herself as a bet, if she loses, she might not get married, but become someone else's slave.

After all, the bet is not that if you lose, you are still a princess.

Moreover, even if the county lord lost, the Nebula Kingdom would not lose anything, it was just a county lord.

Only now do I realize how reckless I was just now, but now that the words have been spoken, it’s too late to take them back, and I don’t know what to do.

Leng Fei couldn't just sit there and say nothing at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "My Lady, you are joking. This is just some entertainment to celebrate the birthday of your emperor. We can't damage the harmony between the two countries, right?"

Zi Xue smiled and said: "What did your prince say about the prize?" After all, Princess Leng Yan also said that this is to celebrate the birthday of our emperor.

It's impossible for everyone to go on stage to compete, then just dance or play the piano like a singer or dancer, and then everyone gives their comments and that's it, right?

There is no need for your country's princess to come up and say these things. It is not like we don't have princesses and young ladies from aristocratic families in our country.

Why is there a need for your country's princess to step in and take the lead?

Prince Leng said, right? Since your princess dares to come on stage and ask so much from the emperor, you can't just say it's a joke.

After all, the crime of playing tricks on our emperor is not something your prince and princess can afford to bear.

Leng Fei now had cold sweat on his face. He didn't expect that this girl was so eloquent.

The emperor always had a smile on his face.

Even the Queen sighed and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you notice? It seems that the princesses and princes of our Xingyun Kingdom dare not go against the princes and princesses of other countries, and they don't even say a word of rebuttal."

Although what this girl said was a bit unreasonable, it was also to win face for the Nebula Kingdom. After all, today is your birthday, but none of the princes and princesses in our country can show off their birthday.

I feel that if this girl were not here today, we would probably have been bullied by other countries.

Upon hearing this, the emperor smiled and said: Yes, looking at these princes and princesses who only have anger on their faces but don’t know how to refute, I don’t know what to say.

The queen whispered: "Your Majesty, what do you think of our ninth child? Why don't we marry this girl off? I think it's a pity to marry her off."

Leng Fei didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: I wonder what the county lady is going to compare? The emperor's sister is young, so she sometimes speaks in a childish way, which is not good for Chengchi and her.

After all, she is a princess of a country and there is no way she can be used as a stake.

Upon hearing this, Zi Xue smiled and said: I saw your country’s princess coming on stage so confidently, and I thought she was going to make a big gamble?

Since Prince Leng said that we can’t bet on the city or the princess, what does the prince plan to bet on?

Leng Fei thought for a while and said: How about one million taels of silver?

Regardless of whether my sister wins or loses, I will offer one million taels of silver as a birthday gift to your emperor.

Zi Xue said nothing more after hearing this, but handed the matter over to the prince and princess of her country.

After waiting for a long time, the prince and princess of her own country acted like fools, and no one came out to respond. Zi Xue looked around and found that no one wanted to speak.

Turning to look at the emperor, I saw that his face was not very good.

I'm a little speechless. She's just a county lady, not a princess, not a prince, okay?

Is our country so bad?

I could only respond: Then I will take out a landscape embroidery that is six meters high and five meters wide as a bet.

The main reason is that I am too poor. Even these are rewards from the emperor. Otherwise, I really can’t come up with any good things.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. There were actually embroidery works?

Zixue asked Yueling to go back and get it.

Yue Ling said very reluctantly: County Princess, do you really want to use that as a bet?

Zi Xue rolled her eyes when she heard that and said: Go quickly, what are you hesitating about.

After Yue Ling left, a princess came by her side. This princess was the emperor's youngest princess, who was seventeen years old this year. Her name was Yun Yaner and she was lively and cute.

Curiously, he said to Zixue: Sister Zixue, what kind of landscape embroidery is this? It looks like even I can’t bear to part with it?

Zixue said a little embarrassedly: Because it is embroidered with silver thread.

Except for those given to the emperor and the empress which were made of gold thread, this one was made of silver thread, so the maid was worried about spending the money.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The princess said: A lot of silver?

Zi Xue shook her head and said: There is not much silver, but it is quite difficult. After all, the silver has to be made into silver thread, and it cannot break.

Moreover, two-thirds of the landscape paintings are embroidered with silver thread.

Everyone became even more curious about what kind of landscape painting it was that two-thirds of it was silver threads.

While everyone was waiting here, the singers and dancers had already started their performances. After all, their performances also required preparation.

What's more, no one has placed their bets yet, and everyone wants to see this landscape painting before placing their bets.

Yue Ling came back soon, followed by five or six eunuchs. They were pushing a cart with a cloth-covered screen on top.

When everyone saw the man coming back, they looked at it curiously to see what kind of landscape painting it was.

Even the emperor and the queen were curious.

The queen liked Zixue's embroidery, so she walked down and said: Girl, if you don't mind, let me take a look first.

Zixue shook her head and said: Queen, please look.
