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

Liu Ruyan gently waved her hand and whispered, "Come closer."

Xia He moved closer as she was told, and then Su Jingya saw Liu Ruyan lean close to Xia He's ear and whisper a few words to her.

The voice was so soft that Su Jingya didn't hear it clearly.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Xia He stood up, replied respectfully, and then walked out.

Su Jingya was still a little confused. She hid under the quilt and asked doubtfully, "Mom, what did you just say to Xia He?"

Liu Ruyan didn't say it directly, but just said lightly: "Why are you in such a hurry? You will know it later."

As soon as the words fell, before Su Jingya could continue to ask, a maid's voice came from outside the door, crying and begging for mercy, "Sister Xia He, no, please, no, don't cut my hair, wuwuwu..."

Su Jingya was not stupid. When she heard what the maid said outside the door, she guessed what her mother Liu Ruyan wanted to do, but she did not intend to stop her, because in her opinion, the maids in Yayuan were all her servants. As a servant, it was natural for her to make some sacrifices for her master.

……

At this moment, compared to the crying in Yayuan, there were warm laughter in Jinyuan.

In the yard, there were two figures, one big and one small, chasing two little foxes, one red and one white.

"Mom, here, here~" Su Qingyu shouted excitedly.

He and Yun Ruopiao pounced forward, one on the left and one on the right, trying to catch the little red fox in its nine-tailed mimicry. But the result was...

With a "bang", Su Qingyu and Yun Ruopiao's heads collided fiercely. The sudden collision made them grimace in pain, but Jiuwei had already jumped lightly and jumped onto the tree as quickly as a flash of lightning.

"Hiss! It hurts!" Su Qingyu and Yun Ruopiao rubbed their foreheads which were hurt by the collision with their hands. They both raised their heads and glared angrily at the Nine-Tailed Fox that jumped onto the tree.

However, Jiuwei stood steadily on the branch, shaking its tail proudly, as if mocking the current embarrassment of Su Qingyu and Yun Ruopiao.

Seeing that Su Qingyu and Yun Ruopiao's attention had been drawn away by the Nine-Tailed Fox, Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief. He gently walked to Su Qingning's side and said through his soul transmission, "Ningning, please put me in the summoning book! I want to practice."

Since returning to the Su family, Xiaobai has been accompanying Yun Ruopiao and has little time to practice. Until now, it is still only a third-level magical beast, while Su Qingning is already a ninth-level all-round magician, and even Su Qingyu has been promoted to a fourth-level magician. Xiaobai was once very ashamed.

Su Qingning felt Xiaobai's depressed mood and realized that she had neglected it recently. During this period, she was only concerned with her own practice and forgot that Xiaobai was not a magical beast from this world and it also needed to practice to improve its level.

"I'm sorry, Xiaobai, I neglected it." Su Qingning bent down and picked up Xiaobai. She gently stroked its back and said softly, "Let's go, let's practice together."

Su Qingning carried Xiaobai back to the room. Before leaving, she sent a soul message to Jiuwei, asking him to guard Jinyuan and protect her family.

As a summoned beast, he must obey the orders of his master; therefore, no matter how unwilling Jiuwei was, he could only play with Su Qingyu and Yun Ruopiao without complaint, and at the same time perform his duties as a guard and protect Jinyuan well.

On the other side, Su Qingning carried Xiaobai back to the room and put it into the summoning book. As for herself, she entered the colorful glass gourd to practice.

Now, Su Qingning has cultivated all of her elemental spiritual roots to the peak of level nine, and she only needs an opportunity to break through to the lord level.

……

Imperial capital, Linwang Palace.

Mo Lintian sat in the pavilion, looking at the white porcelain bottle in his hand with gentle eyes, a happy curve at the corner of his mouth.

If other people saw Mo Lintian's appearance at this moment, they would inevitably think that the thing in his hand was a token of love given by his sweetheart; but how could they know that the thing was indeed a gift from Mo Lintian's sweetheart, but it was not a token of love, but a corpse-dissolving water that could destroy the body.

At this moment, Mo Lintian was recalling the scene when he first met Su Qingning. At that time, it was Su Qingning's ruthlessness that attracted his attention, making him pay attention to her again and again, and then slowly fall for her.

"Alas, I haven't seen her for several days. I don't know what the little girl is doing now." Mo Lintian murmured softly, and an urge arose in his heart, wanting to go to the Su family to see Su Qingning.

"How about going to take a look?"

Mo Lintian hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind to sneak into the Su family and take a look at Su Qingning in the dark.

However, before he could take action, He Bo, the steward of the Lin Wang Mansion, hurried over.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Uncle He bowed respectfully.

"Get up!" Mo Lintian asked calmly, then asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, His Majesty sent someone to ask if you would like to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet the day after tomorrow evening?" Uncle He replied respectfully.

"Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet?" Mo Lintian was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival was the day after tomorrow.

According to past traditions, the palace would indeed hold a palace banquet on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Mo Lintian, as a prince and the emperor's younger brother, would indeed attend the palace banquet.

However, Mo Linyuan knew that his younger brother had a cold personality and did not like these boring banquets, so before every palace banquet, he would send someone to inquire in advance.

Most of the time, Mo Lintian would give Mo Linyuan face. Even though he wouldn't stay long, he would still go through the motions.

Originally, after what happened with Su Jingya last year, Mo Lintian had no intention of attending any palace banquets again, but when he thought that Su Qingning might very likely attend this palace banquet, he changed his mind.

"Well, go ahead!" Mo Lintian said softly.

Hearing this, He Bo looked up in surprise, his heart full of confusion. He clearly remembered that last year when the prince came back from the palace banquet, he said with a cold face that he would never attend a palace banquet again. Why did he change his mind now?

However, Mo Lintian had already made the decision, and He Bo did not dare to ask any more questions. Moreover, he didn't know if he had seen it wrong, but he seemed to see the prince smile, and there was a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.

When the news that Mo Lintian was going to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet reached back to the palace, Mo Linyuan also showed the same surprised expression as He Bo.

"What did you say? Lin Tian really said he would come?" Mo Linyuan asked in surprise.

"Yes, absolutely true." Eunuch Wu nodded affirmatively. "The eunuch who delivered the message said that it was Prince Lin himself who said he would attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."

"Tsk~" Mo Linyuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He tilted his head to look out the window and asked in confusion, "Did the sun rise from the west?"

If it were in the past, Mo Linyuan would naturally not be so surprised, but he knew his brother's character too well. Mo Lintian was very annoyed by Su Jingya's public confession last year, not to mention the scandals that spread throughout the imperial capital afterwards, which made Mo Lintian extremely disgusted with Su Jingya.

Based on Mo Linyuan's understanding of Mo Lintian, he should not attend the palace banquet again, but why is the result different from what he expected? Mo Linyuan is puzzled.
