During the banquet, despite her mother's strong opposition, Li Xiyue used her petite stature to her advantage and successfully got close to Feng Qinghuang.
When Murong Wan saw this deep-thinking person coming to see her daughter again, she was about to get angry when Feng Qinghuang pulled her back.
Seeing that her daughter was about to make a move, Murong Wan simply sat down and watched the show.
She knew her daughter wouldn't suffer any loss.
Li Xiyue held up her cup and looked at Feng Qinghuang. Her innocent-looking face seemed a little nervous.
"Sister, I'm Li Xiyue. I might have said something wrong in the room just now. But I just like pretty sisters, and I didn't mean anything by it. Please forgive me, okay?"
Feng Qinghuang looked at her without saying a word.
As soon as Li Xiyue spoke, everyone in the banquet hall looked at them.
At this moment, Xiao Qingya deeply regretted bringing her family to the Murong residence.
"Li Xiyue, what are you doing? Come back here right now."
Seeing that Li Xiyue's parents didn't care about her, Xiao Qingya had no choice but to speak up herself.
Li Xiyue looked at Xiao Qingya with a wronged expression: "Auntie, please let me finish toasting my sister, otherwise she will be angry with me, what should I do?" Her tone was aggrieved, as if she had just been bullied badly by Jiang Qinghuang.
Hmph, with so many people watching, I don't believe you won't drink it.
After I finish this cup of wine, everyone will know that I know the young princess of the Fengwang Mansion.
Li Xiyue held the cup with both hands, and her small body swayed slightly at this moment.
Feng Qinghuang stood up, raised her right hand, seemingly to take the cup.
Li Xiyue secretly gloated to herself. As expected, she was too young to be provoked. Now let's see how she can refute this.
To everyone's surprise, Feng Qinghuang simply raised her hand, revealing the little dumpling on her wrist. The little dumpling raised its head and bared its teeth at Li Xiyue.
Feng Qinghuang deliberately turned to the side, and Li Xiyue was close by, so only she saw the silver snake on Feng Qinghuang's wrist.
Li Xiyue screamed in fright, forgetting all about the wine, and quickly backed away. She almost fell to the ground, but Feng Qinghuang quickly caught her with her right hand.
"Hey, how could you be so careless? Everyone was watching. You absolutely can't fall. What if people say I pushed you?"
Li Xiyue's heart pounded wildly with fear, and she was somewhat dazed at that moment.
"No, no, no, you didn't push me! You...you scared me with a snake! Yes, she had a snake on her wrist. She just scared me with a snake. It was terrifying!" Li Xiyue shouted, pointing at Feng Qinghuang.
Murong Wan was furious: "How dare you! You are just a commoner, how dare you point your finger at a royal princess? What is your crime? And you dare to spout nonsense and slander the princess. Don't you want your head?"
Li Xiyue shouted, "I didn't, I didn't slander her. If you don't believe me, check her right wrist."
Feng Qingcang was also furious at this moment: "Whose daughter are you, daring to act wildly here? I want to see who has such good upbringing."
Li Xiyue's parents quickly stepped out from the crowd, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please spare our lives, Your Highness! Xiyue was just frightened and did not mean to offend you."
Feng Qingcang: "Hmph, not intentional? Then why did you teach her to slander my daughter time and time again?"
Mr. and Mrs. Li quickly begged for forgiveness: "No, no, no, it's not that. Our daughter just wanted to make more friends."
"Hmph, with so many noble ladies around, why is she so fixated on my daughter? Your daughter certainly has a sharp eye."
Of all the noble ladies present, his daughter was the highest in status. He wouldn't befriend anyone else, yet he specifically wanted to befriend her daughter—wasn't that intentional? And when that failed, he turned around and slandered her. She's truly something else.
If it were anyone else, he would have already attacked with a knife, instead of letting him argue. But since it was a ten-year-old child, he couldn't even find a place to strike.
Feng Qinghuang looked at the aggrieved Li Xiyue: "You say I had a snake on my hand? How come I didn't know? Besides, who would put a snake on their wrist? What if they got bitten? Who would be that stupid? I can show it to others if you don't believe me!"
Feng Qinghuang generously displayed her right wrist. On her fair and slender wrist, there was only a pure white jade bracelet, which made her wrist look even more beautiful.
"How is it? No problem, right?"
"No, no, how could the princess have a snake in her hand? She must have misjudged!"
"Exactly! Anyone who puts a snake on their wrist is practically asking for death."
"Yes, I think so. She wanted to befriend the princess, but the princess ignored her, so she framed the princess. How vicious!"
Hearing these comments, Li Xiyue was immediately filled with shame: "I didn't! I saw it with my own eyes, how could I slander her!"
Feng Qinghuang's big eyes darted around, and she turned and jumped into her mother's arms.
Her voice was soft and aggrieved: "Mother, why? I didn't do anything, why is she framing me like this? I don't even know her, but she insists on calling me 'sister.' I don't know where this little sister came from. I'm not going to argue with her, but she still insists on apologizing. When that didn't work, she started framing me again."
"Mother, do you think we should ask the Emperor to judge this matter and see if there is a law in the capital that allows anyone to slander a princess at will? If so, then I'll just have to accept my fate."
Upon hearing Feng Qinghuang's words, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. Who instilled this idea in this princess: to seek help from the Emperor when wronged?
