The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

All eyes were fixed on Su Wan'er like spotlights. This was the first time in her life she had felt the pressure of being the center of attention, yet she didn't experience the usual sense of superiority. Instead, she felt an indescribable panic and confusion.

At this moment, she was filled with remorse, regretting that she hadn't listened to her mother's advice and memorized all those poems to deal with this unexpected situation.

Finally, under that burning gaze, Su Wan'er managed to utter a line with difficulty: "The waves intentionally create a thousand miles of snow, the peach blossoms silently form a procession of spring."

However, just as she finished speaking, Su Fuying suddenly covered her mouth and laughed so hard she almost fell over.

"Pfft."

Su Wan'er was immediately enraged and glared at Su Fuying: "What are you laughing at?"

Seeing this, Su Fuying quickly stopped laughing, then straightened her expression and said in a sarcastic tone, "Sister asked you to write a poem about flowers, but there are so many flowers in this courtyard, but no peach blossoms. Sister, where did you see peach blossoms?"

After hearing Su Fuying's words, everyone realized that they had just thought Su Wan'er's poem was really good, but looking around, where were the peach blossoms in this season?

"Could my sister have copied it from somewhere?"

Su Fuying's words were like a pebble, stirring up a thousand waves in everyone's hearts.

Yes, it seems like Su Wan'er always memorizes her poems beforehand. They used to think that Su Wan'er was just talented and already knew them by heart.

Now it seems that's not the case. Suddenly, the way they looked at Su Wan'er became a little strange, and they looked her up and down.

Su Wan'er felt like she was being pricked by thorns, but she still said firmly, "Don't make false accusations. You're just jealous of me."

"Jealousy? Have you forgotten what His Majesty said at the Empress's birthday banquet?"

Su Fuying's words stunned Su Wan'er. She had been distracted and didn't know what the emperor had said that day.

However, if she hadn't been distracted, the title of princess would not have belonged to Su Fuying; it should have been hers.

Su Wan'er stared intently at Su Fuying, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

"Sister, I don't know what you are talking about."

"Oh? Then this princess will tell you that His Majesty once told you to memorize the poem before coming out, so as not to embarrass yourself!"

Su Fuying's lips curled into a cold smile, while Su Wan'er's expression gradually turned ugly.

Su Fuying's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

The people around her showed surprise and disdain, pointing and whispering about Su Wan'er.

Su Wan'er's face flushed red, and she bit her lip hard, trying her best not to cry.

She knew that if she shed tears at this moment, it would only make her seem more guilty.

"Sister, you've misunderstood me. I really wrote this poem myself."

Su Wan'er's voice trembled slightly as she tried to explain, but she seemed so powerless.

"A misunderstanding? How about you compose another poem about the flowers in the yard?"

Su Fuying pressed on relentlessly, giving Su Wan'er no chance to breathe. "If you can produce something of the same quality as before, I, the princess, will apologize to you. If you can't, then you should reveal who you plagiarized."

Su Wan'er's eyes widened. She hadn't expected Su Fuying to be so aggressive, but at this moment her mind was in turmoil, how could she possibly compose another poem?

Her heart was filled with panic and despair; she didn't know how to deal with the situation.

Just then, a clear voice rang out.

"Alright, Aying, stop making things difficult for Wan'er."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw His Highness the Crown Prince walking over.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Why is Crown Prince here?"

Ren Yinxue was also somewhat surprised, not expecting the Crown Prince to enter without being announced.

The Crown Prince also remembered the purpose of his visit today, "This is a gift that the Empress Dowager asked me to bring to wish my cousin Yinxue a happy birthday."

"Then thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Xiao Junlin had a faint smile on his face, but his gaze was fixed on Su Fuying.

Su Wan'er's expression changed slightly; she hadn't expected the Crown Prince to appear so suddenly.

"Aying, without evidence, why are you being so aggressive?"

The crown prince's voice was gentle, but it carried a hint of reproach.

Su Fuying: ? ? ? ? ?

What did he call her? Aying?

"Your Highness, I don't think I'm that familiar with you yet. Please don't tarnish my reputation."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's smile remained unchanged. "Why are you saying such things, Sister Ying'er? You're being too formal."

As he spoke, his gaze fell once more on Su Fuying's face. Looking at the woman before him, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes as bright as stars, her lips naturally red, and her eyebrows naturally dark green, making one feel a sense of goodwill. He thought, indeed, the person his mother had chosen was quite good.

He hadn't originally planned to come today, but his mother had urged him to marry Su Fuying into the household. Su Fuying would be of marriageable age in a few days, and he should try to win her over before then.

He didn't know why, but he knew that everything his mother did was for his own good, so he came without hesitation.

Moreover, Su Fuying is simply too beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful, and unforgettable.

He naturally wished to bring her into his household and make her his woman.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He stepped forward and continued, "Besides, you and I are already engaged. Even if we are close, we cannot allow others to gossip."

As he spoke, he tried to take Su Fuying's hand, which startled Su Fuying. What was wrong with this person today?

She quickly took a step back to face the groping hand, her eyes filled with disgust, and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Just a few days ago, you were very considerate to Sister Wan'er, which was witnessed by everyone in the capital. Don't let Sister Wan'er's heart be chilled."

At this point, Xiao Junlin realized what was happening and immediately looked in Su Wan'er's direction. He saw Su Wan'er staring wide-eyed in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes.

She didn't expect the Crown Prince to say that Su Fuying was engaged to him. When the two were together before, he clearly said that he would not acknowledge the engagement.

What does he mean now? It means that Su Fuying, that bitch, stole everything from her, her crown prince brother, and today she even dares to try to ruin her reputation.

hateful!

Because the Crown Prince was present, Su Wan'er could only cover her face and cry, then turn and run away.

Xiao Junlin couldn't care less about anything else at that moment and quickly chased after them.

Leaving behind a group of bewildered people, Su Fuying finally breathed a sigh of relief. Why did this scumbag have to come out and disgust people every now and then?

"Alright, let's go sit in the pavilion."

Just as Ren Yinxue finished speaking, Su Fuying said indifferently, "I'm going back. This courtyard stinks too much."
