Playing the Pig and Eating the Tiger: My Funny System is Too Fierce

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Su Qing bowed and glimpsed Concubine Jia's tense expression out of the corner of her eye.

[Ding! Dinner begins]

Danger Index: ★★★★★

【Suggestion: Be alert】

"Please sit down," the Queen Mother said with a smile. "Tonight is a family dinner, so there's no need to be formal. Qing'er, sit here."

This position... Su Qing knew it clearly. Facing the Crown Prince, diagonally across from Concubine Jia. This old lady had arranged everything with great care.

[Ding! Location Analysis]

Advantages: convenient for observation

[Disadvantage: Too eye-catching! ]

Mo Yunchen glanced at Su Qing, a smile flashing in his eyes. Obviously, he also saw the Queen Mother's intention.

"Yun Chen," the Queen Mother put a piece of fish into the prince's bowl, "Try this. Qing'er specially asked the imperial chef to prepare it."

Concubine Jia paused with her chopsticks.

[Ding! Jealousy is overflowing]

[Princess Jia's Rage Value: 999+]

【Suggestion: Be careful with her chopsticks】

"Really?" Mo Yunchen looked at Su Qing, "Do you also know how to maintain your health?"

Su Qing was about to answer when Concubine Jia suddenly spoke up: "I heard that this fish was a tribute from the Western Regions. You have to pay special attention to the heat when cooking it. If you are not careful, it will..."

Before he could finish his words, Mo Yunchen had already eaten the fish.

[Ding! Critical moment]

[Crown Prince Trust: +10]

[Princess Jia: Angry to the point of deformation.jpg]

"How?" asked the Queen Mother.

"Very good," Mo Yunchen nodded, "light and refreshing, cooked to perfection."

Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "As long as Your Highness likes it."

[Ding! Favorability rising]

[Crown Prince Favorability: +5]

【Princess Jia: Where is my knife? 】

At this moment, Concubine Jia suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have also prepared a dish. Can you please have it brought up right away?"

Before the Queen Mother could say anything, footsteps were heard outside. A palace maid walked in carrying a tray of tempting snacks.

[Ding! Danger warning]

【There is something wrong with this dessert! 】

[Suggestion: Prevent the prince from eating it]

"This is made by me," Concubine Jia smiled gently, "I wonder if Your Highness would like to try it?"

Before Mo Yunchen could speak, Su Qing's eyes lit up: "Wow! Is this the legendary 'Lovesick Cake'?"

Everyone was stunned.

[Ding! God assists]

[Routine: Retreat to advance]

【Suggestion: Continue the performance】

"Empress Jia is so thoughtful," Su Qing said innocently, "The meaning of this snack..."

Concubine Jia's expression changed: "What does it mean?"

"Love cake!" Su Qing blinked, "Isn't it just to express the Queen's longing for the Crown Prince?"

Everyone in the house was shocked!

[Ding! God-level performance]

[Effect: Awkward upgrade]

[Princess Jia: Social Death Scene.jpg]

The Queen Mother almost choked on her tea: "Ahem, this..."

The corners of Mo Yunchen's mouth twitched, and he was obviously trying hard to suppress a smile.

Concubine Jia's face turned pale: "No... no..."

[Ding! Perfect Hit]

Damage value: 999

【Suggestion: Seize the opportunity to win】

"Oh, did I misunderstand?" Su Qing made an annoyed expression, "But this snack is clearly..."

"That's enough!" Concubine Jia stood up suddenly, "Take it away!"

The maid, in her haste to carry away the snacks, accidentally knocked over the plate. A few pieces of snacks fell to the ground, and a small white dog, a common sight in the imperial gardens, ran over, picked up a piece and started eating it.

result......

[Ding! Unexpected gain]

[Conclusive evidence]

【Suggestion: Wait and see】

Not long after the puppy finished eating, it fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth.

There was silence.

"This..." The Queen Mother's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Concubine Jia's face turned pale: "Empress Dowager, this... this must be an accident..."

[Ding! The truth is revealed]

[Princess Jia: Played off.jpg]

【Suggestion: Prepare to eat melon】

"Accident?" The Queen Mother sneered, "What a surprise! Come, collect all these snacks and have them carefully examined by the Imperial Food Bureau!"

Concubine Jia knelt down with a plop: "Empress Dowager, it's unfair..."

Su Qing drank her tea silently, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.

[Ding! The situation is settled]

[Victory Ending]

【Suggestion: Keep a low profile】

"Mother," Mo Yunchen said, "this matter still requires further consideration."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said, "Alright, seal these things up first. Concubine Jia, go back and reflect on your actions!"

Concubine Jia left the hall trembling, and glared at Su Qing fiercely before leaving.

[Ding! Hatred resurfaces]

[Princess Jia's desire for revenge: MAX]

【Suggestion: Take more precautions】

After Concubine Jia left, the Queen Mother took Su Qing's hand and said, "Good child, if you weren't so smart..."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind," Su Qing said modestly. "It was that little dog that made the greatest contribution."

Mo Yunchen looked at her, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "You discovered it a long time ago?"

"I just think that the name 'Acacia Cake'..." Su Qing paused deliberately, "is too obvious."

[Ding! Perfect explanation]

[Crown Prince's Approval: +10]

[Empress Dowager: This is the wife I want!]

After the dinner, Mo Yunchen called Su Qing over and said, "Be careful. Concubine Jia won't let this go."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness," Su Qing bowed, "I will pay attention to it."

[Ding! Sweet moment]

[Interaction rating: ★★★★★]

【Suggestion: Add some ambiguity】

"By the way," Su Qing suddenly said, "Your Highness, aren't you really curious about what happened to those snacks?"

Mo Yunchen raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"Actually..." Su Qing leaned closer, "It was the 'welcome gift' Xiao Cui received this morning. I felt something was wrong at the time, so..."

"So you're waiting for her to fall into your trap?"

"Your Highness, do you think I should let her succeed?"

【Ding! Witty dialogue】

[Tacit Understanding: +10]

[Prince: This girl is quite interesting]

Mo Yunchen chuckled: "No wonder the Queen Mother likes you so much."

"What about His Highness?" Su Qing blinked, "Do you like it?"

As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned.

[Ding! Key remarks]

【Ambiguity Index: MAX】

【Suggestion: Know when to stop】

"This lady..." Mo Yunchen was about to say something when he heard footsteps outside.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother is looking for you."

Su Qing quickly bowed and said, "I'll take my leave first."

Looking at her departing back, Mo Yunchen seemed to be thinking about something.
