The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

The Queen said, "I've heard the Emperor say these days that before you married General Su, you were a famous singer and dancer. Could you please let me see you at the Third Princess' birthday banquet today?"

Su was stunned. She didn't expect the Queen to suddenly say this to her...

The Queen continued, "Captain Su is one of the few female generals in our Northern Kingdom. As a mother, I think your figure should be better than hers..."

As soon as the queen finished speaking, there was a whisper of laughter from the side.

Although Su knew that the Queen did it on purpose and intended to belittle her own background in front of everyone, she absolutely could not back down at this time.

If she tries to win the Queen's favor, she will definitely make the Queen unhappy in the future.

She absolutely couldn't lose face for Arou and the general here...

Su believes that even when dancing, one must dance in a way that amazes everyone.

Su said, "Since Your Majesty has spoken, I am naturally willing to add some color to the Third Princess' birthday banquet."

Yuan Wen came forward with some concern, "Madam, the Queen wants you to dance, can you do it?"

Su shook his head to indicate that everything was fine.

Yuan Wen's expression finally calmed down a little.

The third princess sat beside the queen in a dark blue dress, looking dignified and lovely.

What everyone presented were rare treasures, and Su looked down at his own calligraphy and paintings.

I always feel like it's a bit too shabby.

Su walked forward holding the calligraphy and painting, but heard some voices talking about her from the side.

"Su Rou usually wears gold and silver, so why did she give the Third Princess a painting? Isn't there any in the palace?"

……

The more they talked, the more embarrassed Su felt...

Yuan Wen suddenly followed from behind.

"I, a commoner, Yuan Wen, pay my respects to Her Majesty the Empress. Today, along with General Su's wife, I have brought three gifts for the Third Princess. One of these is a calligraphy and painting that Captain Su personally selected for the Third Princess. The other two are a jade Ganoderma lucidum with a thousand-year medicinal value, and the third is a jade hairpin crafted by a skilled craftsman from the desert."

Su looked at Yuan Wen and suddenly felt touched.

The Third Princess remained calm, "It was chosen by Captain Su... Have someone open it and take a look. It must be extraordinary."

Someone else laughed and said, "Does Su Rou understand calligraphy and painting? Why are those Yuan family members lying in front of the Empress?"

Yuan Wen glared fiercely at the person who had just spoken, "I will tell Captain Su exactly what you said. Just wait for Rourou to spank you!"

The person who spoke curled his lips and his face turned dark.

"That Su Rou is a lunatic. I... said something wrong. I hope Miss Yuan won't tell her..."

To dare to bring a general into the palace and beat the crown prince to a cripple, what else could one be but a lunatic?!

Su went to find the musician and discussed the accompaniment she wanted.

As the music started, Su stood in the center and danced gracefully.

In order to prevent her from wearing thick clothes that would hinder her movements, she took off the shin guards on her calves.

I haven't danced for many years and my body is stiff.

The dress Su was wearing was not considered a dance dress. She took off her outer garment and leggings.

Chill to the bone.

She raised her hands high in the air, her movements graceful, and the chill on her ankles became even greater.

Su was jumping in the middle of the game when a stone popped out from somewhere and hit Su's ankle.

The ankle, which was already numb from the cold, suddenly lost its support.

Su's legs went weak and her body fell directly onto the birthday gift placed next to her.

Another instability, and the birthday gift flew up and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces...

The Queen stood up instantly, "How dare you! That's the jade ruyi gifted to the princess by the Emperor! You actually broke it! Someone, come!"

Seeing this, Yuan Wen quickly stood up and said, "Please forgive me, Queen. Madam Su certainly didn't mean to do it. I just saw a stone flying from the side and hitting her."

The Queen narrowed her eyes, her voice threatening, "Then tell me, which stone hit her?"

Yuan Wen was about to look for it, but he found a lot of gravel next to the stone he had just hit...

Yuan Wen suddenly realized that this place was the imperial garden, and stones were the most abundant there.

……

When they arrived outside the general's mansion, Su Rou had just come down when a maid rushed out from the gate.

"Miss, something big has happened. Someone came to the palace early this morning and said it was the third princess' birthday and asked Madam to come into the palace."

Su Rou was startled, "Which lady?"

"Fourth Madam!"

Mother?!

What does Guan A Niang have to do with the Third Princess' birthday?

There is no longer a first lady in the mansion, so even according to status, it is not A Niang's turn to enter the palace to congratulate the third princess.

Gong Yu grabbed her wrist and said, "Calm down. The Queen and the Third Princess probably won't attack your mother at this critical moment."

Only her eldest brother and three wives were in the mansion. Even if the emperor knew that her father and brother were fighting on the battlefield, and the general's mansion couldn't afford to make any mistakes at this time, how could the queen care so much?

Su Rou said, "Send me to the palace. My mother has lived in a deep courtyard for a long time. If I enter the palace, I will be like fish on the chopping board waiting to be eaten."

"Little sister, I'll go with you." Su Chong followed out from the yard.

Su Rou climbed back onto the carriage. "No, you must stay in the yard and send someone to fence it off. Don't let your guard down until I come back."

The imperial city is majestic, and when Su Rou entered the palace again, she felt that it was much quieter than before.

Gong Yu was left outside the Shenwu Gate by her. If anything happened to her, at least he would not be implicated.

The emperor stood in front of the window frame with his hands behind his back.

Eunuch Chang stepped forward quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress has detained Su Wan's fourth wife, Su, today. Su Rou has already entered the palace. She seems to be heading towards the Imperial Garden where the Third Princess, the Empress, and a group of female relatives from the capital are staying. Do you need to send some guards to protect the Empress and the Third Princess?"

The emperor's brows were tinged with anger. "This queen is more trouble than help! Tell Su Rou to come over and watch secretly. If Su Rou makes a move, tell the guards to take her down."

……

Su Rou did not go to meet the emperor, so the third princess' birthday banquet was held in the imperial garden of the palace.

The maid quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully before the Queen, "Your Majesty, Captain Su requests an audience."

The smile on the queen's face froze for a moment, and she frowned. "Why is she here? I didn't invite her today. I'm in a good mood, so please let her in."

Su Rou looked around but didn't see A Niang.

on the contrary……

She also saw Yuan Wen at the banquet...

Su Rou didn't wait for the palace maid to come and lead her over, but strode forward.

"Your Majesty, I heard that my mother, Su, was also invited today, so I came here to take her back."

Su Rou bowed, but noticed Yuan Wen winking at her out of the corner of her eye.

Yuan Wen's expression seemed to be telling her not to say that?

The Queen leaned lazily on the phoenix chair. "You mean Su? I was in a good mood today, so I asked her to dance. Who knew she would break the jade ruyi that the Emperor gave to the Third Princess? This is a crime of great disrespect. I have ordered her to be taken away to await her punishment."

Su Rou said, "It's just a jade ruyi. I don't think the princess and the emperor would be so stingy, right? It's broken, so be it. Our general's mansion has been rewarded with several by the emperor before. Why would they lock me up? If the princess wants an apology, just release my mother. I will go back and ask someone to send a new one over. I will ask my mother to take the gift and apologize to the third princess. If the queen doesn't think it's okay, giving her two should be fine, right?"

Ever since she was born, she found that kind of junk a nuisance to use as a footstool when she went to the toilet!
