Chapter 245 – Words Bite Back 2
[not sure where 1 is, maybe merged cause this is about double the normal chap]
She looked at Ye Qingli inhaling a mouthful of cold air.
"Elder Young Miss Ye, Imperial Father has specially invited you to the palace banquet. You certainly have already prepared a gift for him, right?"
Ye Qingli almost wanted to slap her face.
What is this special care?
I initially did not want to come, okay?
The eyes of the fourth princess became proud again.
She had heard from Ye Yun Xiao that Ye Qingli was garbage, and she was bullied by Madam Guo since she was a child. She doesn't know how to do anything, she is so poor that she can't even clean her own face.
What kind of gifts can this kind of person present?
In an event like this, if you were to present something poor in quality, what's the difference between it and slapping yourself in your own face?
Although the gift was only from Little Seven.
But the gift represents the three of them.
After thinking about it, with this, she could ultimately hit them in the face.
The fourth princess was so happy!
She even stopped the doctor from bandaging her.
She sure wants to watch them get ruined before leaving!
Little Seven was not nervous at that moment.
She went to the front of the hall, and then held up a wooden box in her hand.
"Hey, are you sure about this?"
Chu Tian Ge said nervously.
At that moment, many people were looking at her.
Everyone saw it. That box was something that was given to Little Seven by Ye Qingli.
They were also curious, this Young Miss from the Ye family, who was abused by her stepmother and was poor, could actually come up with something good.
"Do not worry."
Ye Qingli said confidently.
Seeing her so confident, many people were curious.
Imperial Concubine Duan's personal high-rank servant respectfully put the wooden box on the royal table.
The fourth princess smiled scornfully.
"Looking at the broken-looking box, I can't even tell which year was that old antique was left behind. What good can be put in it?"
"Don't be rude!"
Imperial Concubine He scolded her.
You can't judge a book by its cover, have you not suffered enough yet?
In front of everyone's eyes, the high-ranking servant opened the box.
"Hahaha!"
The fourth princess suddenly burst into laughter.
"This garbage is also used as a congratulatory gift to the Emperor? Are you looking down on the standards of the palace?"
In the empty s.p.a.ce within the small wooden box there was a bird carved inside.
It stood there, raising its head as if it were singing.
The craftsmans.h.i.+p was actually pretty average.
It was just barely visible.
Many people looked and all shook their heads.
No wonder the fourth princess was disdainful.
The workmans.h.i.+p of it was too crude.
Especially within the palace, what skilled craftsmen did they not have?
These kinds of things were most likely sold for 3 to 5 copper pieces in the market.
The fourth princess proudly said, "Oh, Elder Young Miss Ye, you are so ignorant. That is such a little broken toy and you treat it as if it was
"This even made this princess pity you. Let's forgive it, because you haven't seen much of the outside world, this princess will spare you and wouldn't argue with you. In the future, you better learn from this!"
After saying that, she turned to leave.
Today, I finally saw Ye Qingli being ruined.
In her heart, she felt so great that she felt like she could take on the heavens!
Imperial Concubine He quickly seized the opportunity to say.
"Ye Qingli, you take something so ordinary to give his Majesty. Is it because you are trying to deliberately despise the royal family? Do you believe that I would let you off this disrespectful crime?"
Ye Qingli said disdainfully, "I think the memory of the Imperial Concubine is really bad. Just now, you made such losses. After a moment, you immediately forgot about it. Have you forgotten about the pain of getting hit in the face? Does it not hurt?"
"You……"
She was immediately rendered speechless.
She just sat there.
I want to see what tricks this b.i.t.c.h has up her sleeves!
Ye Qingli looked very calm at this time.
"Greetings to the Emperor, what this civilian girl has presented is a treasure, and there is something in it. Only The Emperor with the spirit of heaven can open it.
"Oh, is that right?"
Emperor Yun An's curiosity was indeed aroused.
"So how do you turn it on?"
"May your Majesty look under the box, there is a b.u.t.ton on the box. Please press it, your Majesty."
Imperial Concubine He couldn't help but say, "I think she's just making up stories. Your Majesty, don't play with her anymore! Hurry and drag her down to be convicted!"
Imperial Concubine Ming said, "Even if you were to execute someone, you still need to give them a chance to justify it. Little Sister He, how do you know there isn't something truly mysterious about it?"
"Hmph!"
Imperial Concubine He gave her a stern look and stopped talking.
Imperial Concubine Duan said quietly.
"But this kind of thing of unknown origin, it is not good to present to His Majesty, right? Your Majesty, please be careful."
She was sinister, immediately, she wanted to turn down Ye Qingli's gift.
Ye Qingli was not provoked by Imperial Concubine Duan at all.
She smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor and naturally has the protection of the Emperor. Little Seven, press it."
Little Seven also saw that b.u.t.ton and clicked curiously.
Pa!
The little carved bird in the box turned by itself.
The feathers behind them were spread out.
"Ah, it's a phoenix!"
Part of the word Feng represents male and Huang represents female.
From the legends, Feng also represents Heavenly Emperor.
"You are this clever..."
Imperial Concubine He's face showed a complex expression.
But it was not over yet, the mouth of the Phoenix actually spoke.
"May you have longevity!"
"May you be young forever!"
This time, everyone's mouths hung and no one was able to close their mouths.
Even Emperor Yun An was surprised by it.
"What in the world..."
"Is there something this amazing?"
Ye Qingli quickly said, "It's all because of His Majesty's breath of the real dragon which allowed her to speak. This is simply a blessing from G.o.d!"
As she said, everyone had to stand up and kneel down.
Moreover, Emperor Yun An also saw that in the box, there was a faint light of Buddha!
Cooperating with the words spoken by the phoenix.
This kind of gift, presented at the annual palace feast, was hard to get.
Little Seven knelt down according to Ye Qingli's saying, and said in a clear voice, "May the Father Emperor live forever and be healthy, and may this great nation be prosperous and wealthy."
Emperor Yun An laughed.
"Yes, Little Seven's gift, I am most satisfied with it today!"
He waved his hand, "You can't say that I don't honour my words. I will give Little Seven a princess residence outside the palace. As for the cost... An Ning, you would be the one paying!"
"I……"
The fourth princess was flushed, but she couldn't muster a word.
Who asked her to ruin her reputation here?
Chu Tian Ge looked surprised and happy, holding onto Ye Qingli's elbow.
"You were great!"
Ye Qingli was also bleeding in her heart.
As long as the fourth princess released the bird, she knew that the fourth princess was going to suffer.
Because there was an irritating spice in the ointment she gave to the fourth princess. After birds smelled it, they would become irritated and mad.
The fourth princess being humiliated was something that she could easily come up without thinking.
However, this gift made her feel a little distressed.
This was a small music box she had brought from her previous life.
In this world, that was something you couldn't buy with money.
However, now that she had given it away, she couldn't take it back.
Let's forget about it, it is to buy peace for myself!
