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

"Grandpa Butler, why are you here?"

Seeing Su Ping, Su Qingning's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and she couldn't help wondering if Grandpa had given her another order. But she remembered that at this time, nothing special seemed to be happening!

Seeing the doubt in Su Qingning's eyes, Su Ping smiled kindly and said softly, "Miss San, someone is coming from the palace. The head of the family wants you to go to the front hall."

Is there someone coming to the palace?

Su Qingning was stunned and immediately understood what was going on. She originally thought that the emperor was just talking casually last night, but she didn't expect him to send someone to the Su family today. Could it be that the emperor really intended to make her a princess?

With doubts and complicated feelings, Su Qingning followed Su Ping to the front hall.

As soon as she entered the front hall, Su Qingning discovered that in addition to her grandfather Su Qingcang, her uncle Su Huaichuan and the great elder Su Yuanfeng were also there; in addition, there was a man wearing the clothes of a eunuch chief steward. Su Qingning remembered him. He was the eunuch Wu, the chief steward beside the emperor.

"Grandpa, Great Elder, and Uncle." Su Qingning first saluted the three elders obediently, then turned to face Eunuch Wu and bowed slightly, "Greetings, Chief Steward Wu."

"Oh no! No, no!"

Seeing Su Qingning saluting him, Manager Wu was shocked and a layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly bent down, stretched out his hands to help the person up, and his heart was filled with panic.

Are you kidding? This is the favorite of His Royal Highness Prince Lin and the newly appointed princess by the Emperor. How dare he ask her to pay her respects?

"Oh! Princess, you really embarrassed me. As an old servant, I dare not ask you to salute me!" As Butler Wu said this, he raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Princess?!"

Su Qingcang and Su Yuanfeng caught the key words, and they looked at each other in surprise, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

"Butler Wu, what did you call Miss Ning just now? Princess?" Su Qingcang looked at Butler Wu and asked in surprise.

"Why, Master Su, doesn't he know yet?" Steward Wu looked at Su Qingcang in surprise and said, "Last night, the Emperor conferred the title of Princess Yong'an on Miss Su San. Today, I, an old servant, am here to read the imperial edict on the Emperor's orders. Master Su, Miss Su San, please accept it!"

After saying that, Manager Wu took out the bright yellow imperial edict from his wide sleeves. The imperial edict was rolled into a tube and embroidered with dragon patterns with golden silk thread, which looked very solemn and dignified.

Upon seeing this, Su Qingcang and others immediately clasped their fists and bowed to show their respect to the emperor.

Steward Wu unfolded the imperial edict, cleared his throat, and then read aloud, "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Su Qingning, the third daughter of the Su family, has a virtuous character and is both talented and beautiful. I am very pleased with her, and therefore I confer the title of Princess Yong'an and grant her the fiefs of Huaming and Lanyue. I decree this."

As Manager Wu uttered the last word, the entire hall fell silent. Su Qingcang and Su Yuanfeng widened their eyes and looked at Su Qingning in surprise. Even Su Huaichuan, who had known about this for a long time, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment, because he really didn't expect that the emperor would actually grant Su Qingning a fiefdom!

Su Qingning took the imperial edict and was a little surprised. She really couldn't understand why the emperor was so good to her, making her a princess and granting her land.

In fact, Su Qingning never imagined that Mo Linyuan had long forgotten what he said last night, and had never thought of drafting any imperial edict of enthronement. All the credit for this life was due to one person, Mo Lintian.

More than an hour ago, in the imperial study of the palace, Mo Lintian and Mo Linyuan, the two most honorable rulers of the Longteng Empire, were fighting fiercely with chess pieces on each side. They stared at the chessboard intently, and every move they made was full of calculations and strategies.

Just when the two were at a stalemate in their chess game, Mo Lintian suddenly broke the silence. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, a cunning arc appeared in his eyes, and he said softly: "Royal brother, you said last night that you would confer the title of princess on Xiao Ning'er. You must keep your word! After all..."

Having said that, Mo Lintian deliberately paused, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Mo Linyuan raised his brows when he heard this. He slowly put down the chess piece in his hand, looked up at Mo Lintian, and asked, "What is it?"

Mo Lintian chuckled softly before continuing, "After all, a king's words are not meant to be jokes! As the ruler of a country, your words are unchangeable. If you go back on your word, wouldn't that undermine your dignity?"

After saying that, Mo Lintian stared at Mo Linyuan steadily, his eyes seemed to say: If you go back on your word, I will make a scene.

Seeing this, Mo Linyuan was speechless. He just felt that this stinky brother was useless. He hadn't even caught his wife yet, but he started to turn his elbow outward.

"Okay, okay, I got it. I will draft an edict to confer the title of Princess Yong'an on Su Qingning." Mo Linyuan glanced at Mo Lintian unhappily, then stood up and walked towards the desk.

Mo Lintian followed him towards the desk, reminding him as he walked: "Then my royal brother, don't forget to grant Xiao Ning'er a fiefdom!"

"A fiefdom?!" Mo Linyuan paused abruptly. He turned around and looked at Mo Lintian in disbelief, his voice unconsciously rising several decibels. "You still want me to grant a fiefdom to that little girl from the Su family?!"

"Is there any problem?" Mo Lintian looked at Mo Linyuan strangely and said as a matter of course: "Since you have given Xiao Ning'er a title, you should also give her a fiefdom."

Mo Linyuan: "..." What you said makes so much sense that I can't refute it.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say goes!" Mo Linyuan knew that he couldn't win the argument with Mo Lintian, so he was too lazy to argue with him.

However, when he was halfway through writing the imperial edict, Mo Linyuan was in trouble about the fiefdom. He didn't know which city he should give to Su Qingning as a fiefdom.

"Brother, why don't you write anymore?"

Seeing Mo Linyuan's pen pause, Mo Lintian took a closer look and found that the words on the imperial edict stopped at the word "fiefdom". He immediately understood what his royal brother was struggling with.

"Brother, are you thinking about which city to give to Xiao Ning'er as a fiefdom?" Mo Lintian asked knowingly. He pretended to think for a while, then said the city he had already chosen, "I think Huaming and Lanyue are both good cities. Why not give them to Xiao Ning'er as a fiefdom!"

"What did you say?!" Mo Linyuan almost threw the pen in his hand directly into Mo Lintian's face. He was really fed up and glared at Mo Lintian and scolded him, "Lintian, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you haven't even gotten this person yet, and you're already trying to cheat? Do you know what the two cities of Huaming and Lanyue mean? They are among the most prosperous and mineral-rich cities in the Longteng Empire. You just said a few words and you want me to give them away? Am I crazy, or are you crazy?"
