The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

In the imperial capital, at the Qi family, a maid in a green dress ran briskly into Lingyun Pavilion, shouting, "Miss, Miss, good news..."

Hearing the sound, Qi Ling'er came out of the room. She looked at the noisy maid, frowned slightly, and said unhappily, "Luzhu, what are you making such a fuss about?"

Lu Zhu took a breath and said excitedly: "Miss, I heard an interesting thing when I went out today. I'm sure you will be interested."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Qi Ling'er was a little bored and didn't care.

"Miss, this matter is related to Miss Su Er." Lu Zhu said again.

"Oh?" Qi Ling'er suddenly raised her eyes, finally showing a hint of interest. She snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly, "What's that bitch Su Jingya up to again? Is she going to bother my cousin Mo again?"

"No, no, it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness Prince Lin." Lu Zhu waved her hands quickly.

Qi Ling'er's expression improved a little when she heard that Su Jingya did not bother Mo Lintian.

"Then what happened to her?" Qi Ling'er asked.

"Hehe..." Lu Zhu smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully, "I heard that Madam Su's personal maid Xia He went to the pharmacy today and bought a lot of hair growth potions."

"Hair growth potion?" A question mark popped up on the back of Qi Ling'er's head, her eyes full of confusion. "Why did Madam Su buy hair growth potion? Also, what does this have to do with Su Jingya?"

"Miss, have you forgotten? Miss Su Er is Madam Su Er's biological daughter." Lu Zhu reminded her, and then said gloatingly: "Also, I heard that Xia He bought the hair growth potion because Miss Su Er's hair was cut last night. Now Miss Su Er has a bald head."

"What?!" Qi Ling'er's eyes widened in surprise, as if she couldn't believe what she heard. "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's absolutely true." Lu Zhu nodded vigorously. "I heard it myself, and I also went to that pharmacy to inquire. There was indeed a woman wearing a veil who bought a hair growth potion. According to the description of the shopkeeper, her figure is indeed very similar to Xia He's."

"Hahaha... If what you said is true, then it's really something worth celebrating." Qi Ling'er laughed happily. "When I think of Su Jingya, who is always so arrogant and wants to stick her chin up to the sky, with a bald head, I want to laugh, hahaha..."

Hearing Qi Ling'er's words, the maids in the yard couldn't help but think of Su Jingya with a bald head. The picture was indeed funny and amusing, so the maids laughed one after another.

For a moment, Lingyun Pavilion was filled with joyful laughter, and the sound could be heard even fifty meters away.

After about five minutes, the laughter gradually stopped.

"Lüzhu, is the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow?" Qi Ling'er suddenly asked.

"Yes, Miss." Lu Zhu nodded gently and said, "The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the tradition of previous years, the palace should hold a palace banquet. At that time, in addition to officials of the fifth rank and above who will bring their families to attend, all major families will also send representatives to participate."

"Yes, that's right." Qi Ling'er touched her chin and asked thoughtfully, "Luzhu, do you think Su Jingya will go to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet this time?"

"That... shouldn't be the case!" Lu Zhu said uncertainly, "Second Miss Su cares most about her image. If her hair was really cut, she would probably hide in her boudoir and not go out."

"That's not necessarily true." Qi Ling'er's eyes flashed with certainty, "As long as Cousin Mo will attend the palace banquet the day after tomorrow, there's a high chance that Su Jingya will go."

After hearing Qi Ling'er's words, Lu Zhu also reacted. Mo Lintian is a prince and has a very good relationship with the emperor, so he will definitely attend the palace banquet.

Almost everyone in the imperial capital knew that Su Jingya admired His Royal Highness Prince Lin. Now that she finally had a chance to get close to Mo Lintian, how could she miss it?

"Hmph, as long as Su Jingya dares to attend the palace banquet, I'll find a way to find out if her hair really was chopped off." Qi Ling'er snorted coldly, a malicious smile slowly curling up at the corner of her mouth. "Once it's proven to be true, she can't blame me for making a fool of herself in public."

Qi Ling'er was not stupid. She knew that someone must have let her know the news on purpose, but she didn't care, because as long as she could embarrass Su Jingya, she would be very happy.

On the other hand, Su Jingya was indeed worried about the palace banquet the day after tomorrow, just as Qi Ling'er had thought.

Even though she had used hair growth potion, it was impossible for her hair to return to its original shape within a day.

Su Jingya touched the hair on her head, which was only about one centimeter long, her eyes full of shame and anger. Her hair used to be kept very smooth, but now she could only feel the rough and prickly feeling in her palms.

When Su Jingya thought about having to meet Mo Lintian in this state, she wished she could just bang her head against a wall and die.

"Ya'er, why don't you stay at home for this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet!" Liu Ruyan persuaded.

"No! I want to go." Su Jingya shook her head and said firmly, "His Royal Highness Prince Lin will definitely attend this palace banquet. I absolutely cannot miss this opportunity."

"This..." Hearing the words "His Royal Highness Prince Lin," Liu Ruyan hesitated. Looking at her daughter's current state, she said with some embarrassment, "Ya'er, the redness and swelling on your face can be healed with beauty potions, but your hair won't grow back that quickly even with hair growth potions! Are you going to see His Royal Highness Prince Lin looking like you've been bitten by a dog?"

The complaints from one's own mother were the most deadly. Su Jingya felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife. It didn't hurt but it was fatal, and it made her feel ashamed and embarrassed.

“Mom~” Su Jingya cried out in embarrassment. She complained aggrievedly, “Mom, it’s fine if you don’t help me find a solution, but why are you still mocking me!”

Seeing Su Jingya pouting and looking like she was about to cry, Liu Ruyan realized that her words had hurt her daughter's self-esteem, and she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing. I'll help you find a solution right away." Liu Ruyan soothed softly.

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent. The mother and daughter sat on the bed, their eyes deep in thought. They were both thinking about what they should do to make Su Jingya appear in front of Mo Lintian with a perfect image.

When Liu Ruyan caught a glimpse of the black hair scattered on the ground out of the corner of her eye, she finally thought of a good idea.

"Xia He" Liu Ruyan shouted towards the door.

The next moment, Xia He walked in. She stopped in front of Liu Ruyan, leaned forward slightly, and asked respectfully, "Madam, what do you want?"
