Baili Ning's eyes turned when he heard Xia Miaoyuan's thoughts.

She stood up, walked up to Feng Panpan, and pretended to admire the embroidery on her dress from a close distance.

Feng Panpan mistakenly thought that Baili Ning had already surrendered under the verbal attack, so she stood there and let her watch.

After watching for a cup of tea, Baili Ning smiled and said, "If everything Ms. Feng is wearing is indeed embroidered by herself, then the embroidery style is too varied, isn't it?"

When the noble ladies heard this, they were all stunned.

What does this mean? Does it mean that Feng Panpan didn't do the embroidery on her body alone?

Feng Panpan's joy turned into anger: "Speak clearly! What do you mean?"

Bailining smiled silently and continued, "Isn't what I said clear enough? These embroideries are obviously not made by the same person."

[My cousin is awesome! Hahaha! That's how I'll confront her. I'll confront her to death, this shameless person.]

"You actually slandered me!" Feng Panpan was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Baili Ning in the face.

Baili Ning was not panicked at all. He reached out and quickly grabbed Feng Panpan's wrist.

"What a skill! You're worthy of being raised in the countryside. Your strength and agility are a hundred times greater than those pampered ladies."

Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but stare in amazement and clapped his hands in applause.

Xiao Wanyin stretched out her small hand to cover her mouth, put her face close to Xia Miaoyuan's ear, and whispered softly, "Shh! Mother said that when you see others having fun, you can't laugh or cheer. You have to hold it in."

Xia Miaoyuan looked at her cousin speechlessly and nodded silently.

"Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, and it's in the palace, so please be careful with your words and actions! If you slap her, even if you go to the Empress Dowager to seek justice, even if I will be punished, you will have a hard time getting away with it." Baili Ning looked at Feng Panpan calmly.

"Yes, Sister Feng, calm down and don't do anything. If you do, things will get out of hand." A noble lady whispered in Feng Panpan's ear.

Feng Panpan gritted her teeth viciously and withdrew her hand.

"If you dare to slander me, I will never forgive you!" Feng Panpan shouted.

"Ms. Feng is really strong-willed. She refuses to admit it even after being exposed." Baili Ning glanced at Feng Panpan meaningfully.

"The embroidery on your sleeves is so delicate, and every thread is extremely thin; and the butterfly embroidery on your skirt has lively stitches and focuses more on the spirit. They are definitely not embroidered by the same person." Baili Ning argued confidently.

[Oh my god, my cousin has a sharp eye, she can see it all.]

Feng Panpan was so angry that her eyes were red and swollen like bells, and her fists were clenched tightly.

Baili Ning glanced at her calmly and continued, "As for the mandarin duck pattern on your handkerchief, the needlework is varied and must be the work of another person."

"So, which part of your outfit did you embroider yourself?"

"Or perhaps, they were all made by someone else, and you, Miss Feng, didn't touch a single stitch."

Feng Panpan was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"You...you..." She pointed at Baili Ning angrily, her eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire.

"Didn't she embroider it?"

"It seems the embroidery styles are indeed different."

"Oh my God, weren't those embroidered by her before?"

As soon as Bailining said this, there was a commotion in the hall, and the ladies began to talk to each other.

There were also a few curious people who quietly came up to Feng Panpan and studied the embroidery on her dress.

"Where did you come from, you wild girl? You're slandering me with your lies. I won't let you go!"

"You said my dress was embroidered by someone else, but how can you prove that the embroidery on your body was embroidered by you?"

Baili Ning was about to retort Feng Panpan when he heard a gentle female voice coming from outside.

"What's going on?"

The ladies looked outside the door and found it was the Queen.

"Hello, Queen!" The noble ladies hurriedly bowed and greeted her.

The Queen waved her hand, signaling them to stand. "I just came to look for the little princess, and I heard you two seemed to be arguing."

Baili Ning bowed and said calmly, "Your Majesty, there was a misunderstanding between you and Miss Feng."

"We all claim to have embroidered our own dresses. However, I believe Miss Feng's embroidery was not hers."

"We were just arguing about this. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Baili Ning had taken the initiative, Feng Panpan quickly said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me. For many years, everyone in the capital has known that I, Feng Panpan, am obsessed with embroidery and have excellent skills."

"But this guy actually slandered me. He questioned whether I had someone embroider my dress."

[Oh my, shameless people are invincible! ]

[You were exposed by your eldest cousin, and you still have the nerve to ask your mother to seek justice for you!? ]

The Queen listened attentively to her daughter's thoughts, and with a slight smile on her lips, she said, "Ms. Feng, it's not easy to manage the palace for you."

When Feng Panpan heard the Queen's words, the corners of her mouth twitched with excitement.

She knew that the Queen had always been at odds with the Empress Dowager, but she didn't expect that today, the Queen would actually take the initiative to help her.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, would like to thank you first." Feng Panpan hurriedly bowed to the Queen.

The Queen waved her hand and called the little Luzi at the door: "Go get two embroidery frames, small ones will do. And embroidery needles and thread. Be quick."

"Yes! I'll go right away!" Xiao Luzi ran out.

Feng Panpan stood there in a daze, looking at the queen in disbelief, her lips trembling but no sound coming out.

Feng Panpan: Queen, are you helping me or harming me?

[Hahaha! Mother is mighty, mother is wise! Just wait and see how you, idiot, will make a fool of yourself later!] Xia Miaoyuan stretched out a pair of small fleshy hands to cover her mouth, but the corners of her mouth were twitching from trying to hold back laughter, and her whole body was shaking.

"Miao Miao, what's wrong with you? Are you having a seizure?" Xiao Wanyin touched Xia Miaoyuan's forehead with concern.

Feng Panpan was stunned for a long time before she murmured, "My Lady, we're just bickering like girls. There's no need to go to such great lengths, right?"

"Or maybe just forget it."

The Queen's eyes widened. "How can I let it go? This concerns your reputation. How can I bear to see you being slandered for nothing?"

Just then, Xiao Luzi ran in panting and holding a tray.

The queen ordered him to distribute the tools to Feng Panpan and Baili Ning.

"The limit is one stick of incense, and the theme is plum blossoms. Embroider as much as you can." The queen said lightly.

Then, a stick of incense was lit.

The queen sat in the main seat in the side hall, watching coldly.

Feng Panpan and Baili Ning were surrounded by many noble ladies.

Bailining adjusted the embroidery frame, split the embroidery thread, threaded the needle, thought for a moment, and then began to embroider quickly.

Looking at Feng Panpan again, her face was flushed, her ears were burning, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

She pretended to make preparations but was reluctant to insert the needle.
