The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Just as Su Fuying was about to fall asleep, Ren Yinxue finally couldn't help but stand up. She bowed slightly to the Emperor and Empress and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, I have prepared a dance for Your Majesty the Empress."

The Empress's face lit up with delight. "I have long heard that Miss Ren's dancing skills are exceptional, and it is a rare treat to witness them today." After saying this, she instructed the palace maids beside her to arrange the music and ceremony.

However, Ren Yinxue did not start dancing immediately. Instead, she looked at the Regent sitting next to the Emperor, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes, and said softly, "I have heard that the Regent is skilled at playing the zither. Would you be so kind as to play a piece for me?"

These words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a huge uproar. The previously lively atmosphere plummeted to freezing point once again, and everyone held their breath, anxiously awaiting the Regent's response.

Time ticked by, and just when everyone thought they would get no answer, a cold voice rang out: "I have no interest in that."

Ren Yinxue's expectant face stiffened, tears welling up in her eyes. The gossip fervor burning in the hearts of those around her was intense, but they could only hold back for now.

In the end, Ren Yinxue forced back her tears and finished the dance. Although she received many rewards, she did not seem happy.

The last one to awkwardly go up was Su Wan'er. Seeing Su Fuying enjoying her glory for so long, her eyes were full of jealousy.

After bowing, she glanced shyly in the direction of the Crown Prince, only to find that Xiao Junlin was staring blankly in the direction of Su Fuying.

Su Fuying, it's you again.

Su Wan'er is dancing the most popular green waist dance of the day. She moves with lightness and grace, and the rhythm gradually increases.

However, Su Wan'er was just thin and weak, with no flesh on her body, and she completely failed to capture the essence of the Green Waist Dance.

Having already seen Ren Yinxue's dance, watching Su Wan'er's dance seemed utterly uninteresting.

Su Wan'er, however, felt nothing and waited expectantly for the Emperor and Empress's praise. After waiting for a long time, she only heard the Emperor's displeased voice: "Get down after you're done dancing. What are you standing here for?"

"Pfft."

Su Fuying never expected the emperor to speak so directly, and she couldn't help but laugh at Su Wan'er's discomfitured expression.

Upon hearing the sound, Su Wan'er gritted her teeth, remembering that while she was dancing, His Highness the Crown Prince had been staring at Su Fu the whole time.

She had practiced dancing for so long, yet she hadn't received a single compliment. It was all Su Fuying's fault for stealing her thunder and trying to steal the Crown Prince away.

"What are you standing there for? Get down here now."

The Empress also showed a hint of impatience. She didn't like Su Wan'er to begin with, and now that they were compared, she disliked her even more.

Su Fuying is not bad, but that letter from earlier...

As the sun began to set, my backside ached from sitting so long, but I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I heard the emperor announce the start of the evening banquet.

My butt is sore from sitting. I don't know if it's because the Regent is there, but the atmosphere in the room is very tense.

Because she had just received "special treatment" from the Regent, other people kept staring at her, making her uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, may I ask who won the first prize?"

Just as they were about to move to the banquet hall, Ren Yinxue's clear voice rang out.

Su Fuying clearly saw a fleeting hint of murderous intent flash across the emperor's eyes, gone in an instant.

It makes one think that although the Ren family is favored, a woman actually questioned the emperor in the main hall, as if she were the regent.

"Yes, look at my memory." The old emperor had a kind face, but his eyes revealed a shrewd glint.

That's fast-paced, he could sing Peking Opera.

As Su Fuying pondered this, she heard the emperor continue, "What does the Regent think?"

Just when everyone thought the regent wouldn't answer, they heard the man's somewhat impatient voice, "You decide what to do."

After saying that, he strode away, leaving the crowd looking terrified.

?

That's incredibly arrogant.

But the emperor seemed to have gotten used to it, and casually said, his smile fading, "Then let's go with Su Fuying."

"what?"

"Why?"

Two voices rang out. The first one was from Ren Yinxue, who looked incredulous. How could her dance not be number one?

She had already agreed to the condition that His Majesty would grant her the marriage, so why should Su Fuying have the right to do so?

The second voice came from Su Wan'er. Liu Hui kept tugging at her sleeve, trying to calm her down, since they weren't from the Ren family.

But Su Wan'er was not willing to accept this. If she could seize this opportunity to get the emperor to grant her a marriage, she would already be the crown princess.

Hearing the dissenting voices below, the emperor's face turned cold. He never expected that anyone could speak to him like that now.

"How dare you! How can you comment on my decisions?"

In an instant, seeing His Majesty's fury, all the sounds below fell silent.

"Princess Yongle, what reward do you desire?"

Uh... a windfall?

"Your Majesty, I have no desires other than wishing Your Majesty and the Empress a long and healthy life."

Anyone can flatter someone.

"Haha, well said. Then you may make one request of me in the future."

A slight smile returned to the emperor's face, and Su Fuying thought to herself: With so many changes in expression and such dramatic mood swings throughout the day, is there really no problem?

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the lively atmosphere of the banquet, the Emperor and Empress left their seats shortly after it began, and the Regent also did not attend. Now everyone relaxed.

But more and more people were asking her to drink, and noticing the occasional glances from Su Wan'er and Ji Nanqing, she couldn't help but sneer. Were they trying to get her drunk?

In his past life, he was a heavy drinker who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, so he was curious to see what they were up to today.

Seeing the wine jug empty, Su Fuying suddenly felt a throbbing in her head, and her vision began to blur.

No, she checked the wine and there was nothing wrong with it, so why is this happening?

Could it be that her physique didn't adapt when she transmigrated, and this body makes her faint at the slightest touch of alcohol?

"Damn it," he cursed inwardly, forcing himself to get up. His mind was spinning, but he knew he had to get out of there immediately.

Stepping into the courtyard, the warm breeze brushed against my cheeks, making me feel a bit more refreshed.

Because I've never been drunk, I never thought of developing a hangover cure; it seems that was a mistake.

"Sister, my clothes are wet. Would you mind accompanying me to change?"

"No, get out."

Su Wan'er was taken aback, not expecting her to be so direct, but seeing her somewhat weak body, she went forward and half-supported her as she walked.

Just as I was about to make a move, I wanted to see what their plan was, so I pretended to comply and followed them.

After walking for about half an incense stick's time, they entered a side room. After helping Su Fuying onto the bed, Su Wan'er immediately closed the door and left.

Then they heard a conversation outside: "You stay here and keep watch. I'll go tell that person that we'll make sure she's ruined tonight."

"it is good."

Another voice was from Ji Nanqing.

Birds of a feather flock together. Su Fuying calmly propped herself up. Although her head was a little dizzy, she was not about to be slaughtered.

This wine has a strong aftereffect, so we should leave quickly.

"Squeak."

There was a noise at the door, and a figure crouched down and cautiously walked in.
