After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Cui Rongrong chuckled and said gently, "My father-in-law has always been rigorous in his work, so how could there be any mistakes?"

However, when they checked the sword used for the sword dance, they were shocked to find that it had broken into two. The eunuch in charge turned pale immediately, and hurriedly grabbed the young eunuch in charge of guarding the items and questioned him harshly.

"What the hell is going on! Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, how dare you be so careless? Do you want to implicate us and get punished together?"

"I've repeatedly told you to be careful and watch over it, but this is how you do your job!"

The young eunuch was also terrified when he saw this, and hurriedly explained: "Eunuch, you are very observant. I did check carefully last night, and everything is intact! I, I really don't know what happened overnight!"

The eunuch in charge was furious and raised his hand to teach the young eunuch a lesson, but was stopped in time by Cui Rong.

"Now that things have come to this, there is no point in blaming others. We should consider how to deal with it." Cui Rong's tone was calm and she seemed exceptionally calm.

The eunuch in charge frowned, his hands drooping helplessly, "I am really helpless. If I go to the storehouse to get the sword now, this matter will be exposed."

"On such a festive day, if such a mistake happened, wouldn't it cast a shadow on the Queen Mother's birthday? I really can't imagine the consequences!"

Cui Yunhe sighed and turned to Cui Rong, "Fortunately we came here in advance, otherwise if the emperor and the queen mother saw the broken sword, we would be in big trouble."

"But now, how can I dance without a sword?"

To dance or not to dance seems to have become a difficult problem.

She looked at Cui Rong anxiously, but the latter suddenly showed a mysterious smile, "Who said you can't dance without a sword?"

Cui Yunhe was stunned. "Sister, do you have a plan?"

Cui Rongrong nodded, leaned close to the eunuch's ear and whispered a few words. The worry on the eunuch's face instantly disappeared and was replaced by a bright smile.

"Miss Cui is really smart. This way, we can solve the problem without losing face! My life is saved!"

The two eunuchs bowed deeply to Cui Rong with gratitude, and she just smiled lightly, "The Queen Mother's birthday is a happy event, how can we let such a small matter spoil the fun? I'll have to trouble you with the next thing, and remember, don't make any more mistakes."

The eunuch in charge quickly bent down and nodded, his forehead almost touching the ground, with a tremor in his voice, "I understand. I will definitely pass on the two young ladies' instructions to everyone to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

The two sisters stood side by side, watching the backs of the two eunuchs gradually disappear at the end of the corridor.

Cui Yunhe frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "Sister, although this method is clever, it deviates from our original plan after all. What if the emperor and the queen mother blame us for this?"

Cui Rongrong smiled gently, with a bit of calmness and confidence in her smile, "Don't worry, everything will be arranged. When the time comes, just sit down in the audience and enjoy my performance."

After she finished speaking, she stretched out a soft hand and gently held Cui Yunhe's hand.

Soon, princes and ministers dressed in gorgeous clothes entered the Linde Hall one after another and looked for seats. The hall suddenly became crowded and lively.

Just as Cui Rongrong and Cui Yunhe were talking in low voices, a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and dressed very beautifully, Shen Yumian, walked into the hall.

Her eyes moved among the crowd and finally stopped on Cui Rong.

Seeing Cui Rong in simple clothes, a barely perceptible contempt flashed across Shen Yumian's eyes, but when she approached Cui Rong, the expression on her face changed instantly and she put on a false smile.

"Sister Cui, your outfit today is so elegant and refined that I was attracted to you from a distance. You look like a fairy descending to earth, so extraordinary and otherworldly." Shen Yumian's voice was sweet.

Cui Rongrong responded with a gentle smile, "Sister Shen, you are too kind. I think you are a true fairy from heaven, with outstanding appearance. I believe that the emperor and the queen mother will be full of praise when they see you."

Shen Yumian smiled and pretended to be modest, "Oh, Sister Cui is making fun of me again. I have always kept in mind your teachings and dared not be too ostentatious. I thought my dress was simple enough, but I didn't expect it to be inferior to your elegant style."

"By the way, Sister Cui, have you made all the arrangements for the sword dance performance for the Queen Mother later?" Shen Yumian asked with seeming concern.

Cui Rongrong's eyes dimmed slightly, she sneered in her heart, but remained calm on the surface, "Everything has been arranged properly, but I can't help but feel a little nervous when I think about showing off my martial arts in front of the emperor and the queen mother, for fear of being careless and losing etiquette."

There was a hint of subtle malice in Shen Yumian's eyes, but her face was full of false concern, "Sister Cui, don't worry. With your martial arts skills, sword dancing is just a piece of cake."

Then, she changed the subject and her eyes fell on Cui Yunhe, "Come to think of it, Sister Cui is dressed more simply than I am today, and she doesn't look well either. Is she feeling unwell?"

Cui Yunhe was startled by this sudden concern and trembled slightly, but soon regained her composure and responded with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Shen, for your concern. This dress is so simple and elegant, I think it suits my taste very well."

Shen Yumian smiled with a hint of thorn in her face, "You are also at the age where you should consider your lifelong affairs. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to dress so plainly."

"Of course, if there is someone who really likes Sister Cui, he will like it no matter what you wear." There was sarcasm in Shen Yumian's words.

Cui Rongrong and Cui Yunhe were very smart and could naturally hear the hidden meaning behind her words, but both of them remained calm.

"Yunhe is still young, there is no need to rush this matter. Marriage is an important matter that needs to be chosen slowly and a good home should be found." Cui Rongrong said in a flat tone.

Shen Yumian didn't seem to understand what he meant. She smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, and there was something unknown in her eyes. "That's true. When spring comes and all the flowers in the palace are in bloom, the Empress will definitely invite the children of the princes and nobles of appropriate age to come to the palace to enjoy the flowers. Then Sister Cui will be able to look for someone good."

"If Sister Cui is hesitant, I can help her with some advice." Shen Yumian said with a hint of pride.

Cui Rongrong frowned slightly, and her voice was a little colder, "Sister Shen is so concerned about Yunhe's lifelong event, I'm afraid that she is about to get married, and wants to share this joy with Yunhe."

"Come to think of it, I remember that Sister Shen also has an engagement, and it seems to be... the Wen family?" Cui Rongrong's words were like sharp arrows, hitting the vital point.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yumian's expression suddenly changed, and the smile she was trying to maintain seemed particularly stiff.

She forced a smile, trying to hide her inner panic. "It was just a joke from my elders when I was young. Don't believe it. The birthday banquet is about to start. I have to go to my seat quickly."

After saying this, Shen Yumian left in a hurry as if relieved of a heavy burden, fearing that Cui Rongrong would say something embarrassing to her again.
