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

Chapter 13 Wedding Preparations

"Miss, the Empress Dowager has sent more than a dozen boxes of dowry!" Xiao Cui said excitedly.

Su Qing looked at the boxes piled up in the yard and felt a little worried: "How many batches are there?"

[Ding! Statistics]

【Number of Dowry: More than 999】

[Tips: The Queen Mother is very optimistic about you]

Ever since the Crown Prince's marriage was finalized, the General's Mansion had been abuzz with activity. The Empress Dowager sent a batch of dowry almost every other day, and the Emperor also spent a fortune, not to mention the gifts sent by various officials.

"This box contains spices from the Western Regions, and this box contains pearls from southern Xinjiang..." Xiao Cui exclaimed as she counted.

[Ding! Warm reminder]

[You are about to become the richest princess in the world]

【Be careful not to let the roof collapse】

At this moment, a palace maid came hurriedly: "Miss Su, the Queen Mother summons you to the palace to try on your wedding dress."

Su Qing: ...Again?

[Ding! Important link]

[This is the 99th wedding dress]

【Suggestion: Keep smiling】

When I arrived at the bedroom, I saw the empress dowager talking to the embroiderer.

"Here?" the Queen Mother said with a smile. "This set is embellished with South Sea pearls. Try it on."

Su Qing looked at the wedding dress in front of her, which was so gorgeous that it was a little dazzling.

[Ding! Luxury alert]

This wedding dress is priceless.

[Tips: The prince is still peeking]

Sure enough, Mo Yunchen was standing behind the screen.

"If Your Highness wants to see it, why not just come in?" Su Qing said mischievously.

"Ahem," Mo Yunchen rarely showed embarrassment, "I'm here to look for my mother..."

The Queen Mother laughed and scolded: "Go away, it's unlucky to see the bride before the wedding."

[Ding! Sweet moment]

[Prince: I want to see but I am ashamed]

【Suggestion: Keep teasing】

"Really?" Su Qing asked deliberately, "Then why did His Highness come to the General's Mansion again last night?"

Mo Yunchen: ...

The Queen Mother immediately became interested: "Oh? Yun Chen came to see you last night?"

[Ding! Gossip Live]

【The Queen Mother is eating melon】

【Suggestion: Know when to stop】

"I went to...discuss military affairs." Mo Yunchen tried to defend himself.

"Yeah," Su Qing blinked, "We discussed it for a whole hour."

The Queen Mother said meaningfully: "Is there so much military affairs to discuss?"

[Ding! Flirting]

[Prince: This woman is so capable]

[Empress Dowager: I understand very well]

At this moment, Concubine Jia's maid suddenly asked for a meeting.

"Her Majesty has asked me to bring you a message," the maid knelt down, "she said she has something important to tell you."

The Queen Mother's face darkened: "What else does she have to say?"

[Ding! Warning]

[Princess Jia's intention: to stir up trouble]

【Suggestion: Be careful】

"The Queen said..." The maid stole a glance at Su Qing, "It's about the late Queen."

Mo Yunchen's expression changed.

【Ding! Important plot】

[The former queen: the prince's biological mother]

【Recommendation: Handle with caution】

"You go down first." The Queen Mother waved her hand.

Su Qing was about to leave when Mo Yunchen said, "Mother, Qing'er is not an outsider."

The word "Qing'er" made the empress dowager stunned for a moment.

【Ding! Touching moment】

Prince: This is my man.

[Empress Dowager: This child has finally come to his senses]

"Okay," the Queen Mother nodded, "let Concubine Jia come in."

Although Concubine Jia was imprisoned, she was still a concubine, and she was quite respectable when she came in. But her eyes were so vicious and scary.

[Ding! The villain is online]

[Concubine Jia's resentment value: 999]

【Recommendation: Stay vigilant】

"I have something to report," Concubine Jia said straight to the point, "regarding the cause of death of the late queen."

"How dare you!" the Queen Mother shouted, "How dare you bring up such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down," Concubine Jia said with a smile, "I just feel that with the Crown Prince's wedding approaching, there are some things that need to be made clear."

[Ding! Conspiracy Alert]

[Princess Jia's purpose: to disrupt the marriage]

【Suggestion: Wait for the opportunity】

"What do you mean?" Mo Yunchen asked coldly.

"I heard... Miss Su is very good at using poison?" Concubine Jia said meaningfully, "Just like the late queen..."

Before she could finish her words, the Queen Mother slapped her with a "slap" sound!

[Ding! Battle breaks out]

[Empress Dowager: This bitch]

【Suggestion: Continue to eat melon】

"Someone!" cried the Queen Mother angrily. "Drag her out!"

As Concubine Jia was dragged away, she was still laughing: "Crown Princess, don't you want to know the truth?"

Su Qing looked at Mo Yunchen and saw that his face was gloomy.

[Ding! Critical moment]

[Prince: Heavy on his mind]

【Suggestion: Comfort】

“Your Highness…”

"Don't listen to her nonsense," Mo Yunchen interrupted her, "I will take care of the Queen Mother's affairs."

The Queen Mother sighed: "Yun Chen, why don't you tell Qing'er about this?"

[Ding! The truth is about to be revealed]

【Important plot: Unlock】

【Suggestion: Listen carefully】

It turns out that the late queen didn't die of poisoning, but was cursed. Before her death, she gave the prince a jade pendant, saying it was the key to breaking the curse.

"So Your Highness has been looking for clues?" Su Qing thought thoughtfully.

"Well," Mo Yunchen said, "Concubine Jia seems to have some clues, but she has been unwilling to tell us."

[Ding! New mission begins]

[Mission Objective: Unlock the Curse]

[Reward: Special Skills]

“Now then…”

"The most pressing matter now is the wedding," interrupted the Queen Mother. "We can discuss these matters later."

Mo Yunchen nodded: "Mother is right."

When leaving the palace, Su Qing suddenly said: "Your Highness, can I help you?"

[Ding! Endless Love]

[Prince Touching Value: MAX]

【Suggestion: Seize the opportunity】
