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

"I, a commoner, pay my respects to Her Majesty the Concubine Jia."

Su Qing bowed gracefully, but she was complaining in her heart: Isn’t this the legendary white lotus female supporting role?

[Ding! Encounter the villain!]

Danger Level: ★★★★☆

[Hint: She is coveting the position of Crown Prince]

Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, and Su Qing, as the general's daughter, naturally has to come to celebrate. But unexpectedly, she met Concubine Jia as soon as she entered the palace.

"Miss Su, there's no need to be so polite," Concubine Jia smiled gently. "I heard that you often go to the military camp these days?"

Su Qing's heart trembled: Why is this woman asking this?

[Ding! The other party's intention: testing]

【Suggestion: Play dumb】

[Reward: Obtain the "Movie Emperor Cultivation" skill]

"Yes," Su Qing said innocently, "Dad said that his daughter should also learn some military knowledge."

"Oh?" Concubine Jia said meaningfully, "I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any advice?"

"Your Highness is very knowledgeable and naturally gave me a lot of advice."

[Ding! Concubine Jia's Jealousy Value: +99]

[Warning: She's about to attack!]

Sure enough, Concubine Jia changed the subject and said, "In that case, why don't you show us your learning achievements at the birthday banquet later?"

Su Qing blinked: "Madam, what do you mean...?"

"The Queen Mother loves to watch young people compete in talent," Concubine Jia said with a smile, "Why don't you lead a few young ladies to demonstrate the formation?"

[Ding! This is a trap!]

[Mission Objective: Resolve the Crisis]

[Reward: Gain the "Quick Thinking" skill]

Su Qing was about to answer when she suddenly saw a dark figure approaching.

It’s Mo Yunchen.

[Ding! The male protagonist appears in time! ]

【Suggestion: Take the opportunity to turn the tables】

[Tips: The prince is currently researching a new formation...]

"Concubine Jia is right," Mo Yunchen approached, "I just created a new formation. I wonder if Miss Su could help demonstrate it?"

Su Qing's eyes lit up: "Your Highness is joking. I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."

"Haven't you been studying that 'Plum Blossom Formation'?"

Plum Blossom Formation? Su Qing was confused.

【Ding! Urgent alert! 】

[Activate Skill: Improvise]

[Extra Reward: Tacit Understanding +10]

"Yes," Su Qing immediately replied, "Your Highness is talking about the 'Five-petal Plum Blossom' formation."

Mo Yunchen nodded with satisfaction: "At the birthday banquet later, you will direct the young ladies to demonstrate."

Concubine Jia's smile froze for a moment.

[Ding! The villain is frustrated!]

[Subsequent plot warning: She won't give up]

After Concubine Jia left, Su Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, what is the Plum Blossom Formation?"

"Haven't you been researching all the time?" Mo Yunchen said with a half-smile.

"this..."

"I was just teasing you," Mo Yunchen said, "This is the formation I thought of last night. I wanted to teach you today."

Su Qing: ...So you are trying to trick me?

[Ding! The prince's bad taste is exposed! ]

【Favorability +5】

[Unlock: The Dark Prince Character]

"What should I do now?" Su Qing frowned. "I'm going to make a fool of myself later."

"Don't worry," Mo Yunchen said, "I will teach you."

So, during the period before the birthday banquet began, Mo Yunchen briefly taught Su Qing the key points of the Plum Blossom Formation.

This formation may seem simple, but it is actually very versatile. Five people stand in different positions, like plum blossom petals, layer by layer to protect the center, which can be used for both offense and defense.

[Ding! New skill acquired: Plum Blossom Formation]

【Prince's teaching satisfaction: 100%】

【Hint: Could this be a date?】

Su Qing: ...Can your system be more serious?

【Isn’t this serious enough? 】

[Look how seriously the prince is teaching!]

Indeed, Mo Yunchen taught very carefully, even explaining every angle of turning clearly.

When the birthday banquet began, the Queen Mother indeed asked to see a performance by the young people.

Su Qing led a few young ladies out and began to demonstrate the Plum Blossom Formation. Under Mo Yunchen's secret guidance, she conducted it very well.

[Ding! Excellent performance!]

【Favorability +10】

[Prince: This girl has good understanding]

Just then, an accident happened.

One of the ladies suddenly slipped and the whole formation was thrown into chaos!

Su Qing noticed with her sharp eyes that there was a puddle of water on the ground.

[Ding! This is a trap!]

[Jia Fei's conspiracy: to make you look bad]

【Suggestion: Think quickly】

"Everyone, don't panic," Su Qing responded calmly, "This just demonstrates the changes in the formation."

She quickly adjusted the formation, using the chaos to create new changes, which made the formation look even more exquisite.

[Ding! Escape!]

[Achieved the title: King of Improvisation]

[Prince: This woman is quite capable]

The demonstration ended with applause from the audience.

"Good!" the Queen Mother said with a smile. "I didn't expect the general's daughter to know so much about military affairs."

Concubine Jia's face looked extremely ugly.

[Ding! The villain is frustrated!]

[Hate Value +99]

[Warning: She will take revenge]

After the birthday banquet, Mo Yunchen called Su Qing aside and asked, "Did you find that pool of water?"

"Yes," Su Qing nodded, "someone must have done it on purpose."

“Do you know who it is?”

Su Qing pretended to be dumb: "I am a simpleton and don't dare to speculate."

Mo Yunchen gave her a meaningful look and said, "You are much smarter than you look."

"Your Highness is too kind," Su Qing blinked. "If I were really that smart, I wouldn't have been tricked by Your Highness into demonstrating a formation I had never learned."

[Ding! The prince is choking!]

【Favorability +3】

He likes your playfulness.

"Speaking of which," Su Qing continued, "Why did His Highness help me?"

Mo Yunchen was silent for a moment: "Don't you always want to know what I think of you?"

Su Qing's heart skipped a beat: "And then?"

"You are very special," Mo Yunchen said, "so special that...I don't want to see you make a fool of yourself."

【Ding! Important confession!】

【Favorability +20】

[Current Favorability: 77]

Su Qing was delighted, but on the surface she had to remain reserved: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Will you come to the military camp tomorrow?" Mo Yunchen asked.

"Come on," Su Qing said with a smile, "but Your Highness, please don't lie to me again."

"When did I ever lie to you?"

"The plum blossom formation thing?"

Mo Yunchen chuckled: "That's helping you."

"Oh?" Su Qing blinked, "So Your Highness is concerned about me?"

Mo Yunchen: ...

[Ding! The prince choked again!]

【Suggestion: Know when to stop】

He's almost shy.

On the way back home, Su Qing was in a good mood.

Although she encountered difficulties from Concubine Jia, with the help of the prince, she not only escaped danger but also gained a wave of favorability.
