Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 126 The General's Counterattack on the Female Crown Prince 11

A few days later, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle. Ye Chuxue had dressed herself up carefully, wearing a gorgeous dress, looking as beautiful as a fairy from heaven.

Then she boarded a beautifully decorated carriage and headed towards the palace.

With the pass token personally bestowed by Queen An in hand, Ye Chuxue had a smooth journey and arrived directly at the Queen's palace.

When she arrived in front of Yongfu Palace, Ye Chuxue couldn't wait and stepped into the palace door carelessly before the palace maid at the door had even had time to go in to announce it.

Upon seeing Queen An, Ye Chuxue asked with a face full of joy, "Aunt Queen, have you missed Xue'er these days?"

However, a hint of displeasure flashed across Empress An's face at this moment, but she quickly regained her smile and gently rebuked, "You little girl, you're becoming more and more careless and unruly!"

Facing Queen An's scolding, Ye Chuxue not only did not bow and admit her fault, but instead quickly walked to Queen An's side, gently shook her arm, and said in a coquettish voice: "Aunt, how could you blame me for such a small matter? You are the one who loves Xue'er the most!"

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice came from the side: "Oh, so cousin, the only one in your eyes is the Queen Mother! I have been watching you here for a long time, but you are completely oblivious!"

The person who spoke was Su Lan. She sat at one side, elegantly savoring a delicate snack. Today, she was wearing a bright and eye-catching yellow dress, and her originally cool temperament now added a bit of playfulness and liveliness.

"Ah!" Ye Chuxue suddenly screamed, as if she had just noticed Su Lan.

She even exaggeratedly covered her mouth with her hand, feigning immense surprise as she said, "Oh, I didn't realize until now that my cousin... no, I should say, my cousin, you've become so radiant and charming after changing back into women's clothing! For a moment, I almost didn't recognize you."

Although Ye Chuxue had a smile on her face, her heart was actually already surging. Her right hand was tightly gripping the exquisite embroidered handkerchief, almost as if she was about to crush it.

He thought to himself: What a vixen! I didn't expect that after this bitch changed into women's clothes, she would be so charming and beautiful, simply captivating! What if Gu Yan was completely bewitched by Su Lanyin at the Qianqiu Banquet?

After all, Su Lanyin is a princess. If you can marry her, wouldn't it be equivalent to rising to fame and success in one step?

Thinking of this, Ye Chuxue became more and more anxious, so much so that she didn't notice the subtle changes in An Hou and Su Lan's expressions.

At this moment, Su Lan's clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the original silent atmosphere around.

She said, "In my opinion, my aunt needs to exercise more control over my cousin. Now that the Empress and I are here, she doesn't even know the basic etiquette. Could it be that she's not been taught well enough?"

These words hit Ye Chuxue's heart like a heavy hammer, bringing her back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream.

So she hurried forward, knelt on her knees at the bottom of the steps, and said with deep fear, "I truly deserve death. Please forgive me, Your Majesty the Empress and Your Highness the Crown Princess. I was careless just now and thus violated etiquette. I hope you will be magnanimous and not blame me."

Afterwards, she sat on the high seat and nodded slightly, indicating her agreement. However, she did not immediately signal the palace maid to help Ye Chuxue up, but instead let her continue to kneel, and a full five minutes passed.

At this moment, Ye Chuxue's legs were already numb, but her face still maintained an expression of humility and submissiveness.

But deep down in her heart, she was secretly cursing Su Lan and her daughter. After all, they were family, yet they had to make things so difficult for her, forcing her to perform such a grand ceremony.

In fact, the heroine has forgotten all the experiences of her previous life. Back then, she was the crown princess, and her attitude towards her own family was extremely bad.

Not only did she ask the Duke to kneel down and pay his respects to her, but she also displayed her arrogant and condescending attitude to the fullest.

And what about Empress An? Before this, she had been quite fond of Ye Chuxue and had intended for her to become Su Lan's Crown Princess. This love and care was truly sincere.

Unfortunately, after hearing about the ridiculous things Ye Chuxue had done in the past six months, Queen An couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Finally, Queen An asked, "Xue'er, you came here today specifically to look for your aunt. I guess there's something important going on, right?"

Hearing these words, Ye Chuxue came back to her senses as if waking from a dream, and also remembered the real purpose of her visit.

So, she quickly replied, "Aunt, Xue'er does have a request. I hope you can grant my lover an invitation to the Qianqiu Banquet, so that he can have a chance to talk with my father." After saying this, Ye Chuxue looked at Queen An with an earnest expression, her eyes full of anticipation.

An Hou looked at Ye Chuxue in front of him. She was a young girl in love, like a ripe peach, exuding charming charm.

However, when she turned her gaze to her own daughter, she saw her chewing the snack indifferently, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her. This sharp contrast made An Hou's heart ache like a knife.

Despite the pain in her heart, Empress An still managed a genial smile and teased, "I wonder which elegant young man could have won the heart of our Xue'er? Why not tell me about it? I'll let my aunt help you check it out!"

Hearing this, Ye Chuxue's cheeks instantly flushed, like clouds under the sunset, and she answered shyly but proudly: "Although he has no official title yet, he is a person who is proficient in both civil and military strategies, and he is also a member of the clan of the famous king of a different surname - Gu Tianqi!" Her words were full of admiration for her sweetheart.

Queen An nodded slightly to show her understanding and agreement, and then, like an elder caring about the younger generation, she asked about many details of their time together.

Then she ordered the senior palace maid beside her to fetch an exquisite invitation and personally handed it to Ye Chuxue.

Ye Chuxue took it with great joy, secretly rejoicing that the first step of the plan had been successfully completed.

However, at this moment, her eyes inadvertently swept across Su Lan's cold and beautiful face, and her heart was suddenly shocked, and her originally firm belief began to waver.

So, Ye Chuxue took a deep breath, mustered all her courage, and took the initiative to talk to Su Lan, saying, "Your Highness, since we are sisters, would you mind allowing me to admire the gorgeous dress you have prepared for this grand banquet?"

Facing Ye Chuxue's sudden request, Su Lan simply gave a polite smile and said in a calm tone like a lake, "Unfortunately, my sister has long passed away. I don't have any sisters to speak of."

Although these words were brief, they were like a sharp blade in the cold wind, piercing Ye Chuxue's heart.

Her expression changed, and seeing that Empress An beside her was also beginning to be moved, she forced herself to continue to smooth things over, "Your Highness, what you said is not right. Cousins ​​are still sisters, don't you think so, Aunt Queen?"

In the past, she always followed Ye Chuxue's wishes, but when it came to the matter of her deceased daughter, she didn't want to speak against her niece and daughter, but directly ordered them to leave.

"Xue'er, please go back first. Auntie is tired and needs to rest."

Ye Chu looked at Su Lan's playful expression and reluctantly bowed and took his leave.

"Mother, what do you think of Ye Chuxue?"

Su Lan asked about An Hou without any context.

"This girl has changed a lot. Her character and temperament are no longer the Xue'er I remembered."

"If she brings disaster to the Duke's Mansion, what will the Queen Mother do?"

Queen An was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of thought, she looked up and replied, "Lan'er, just do it and protect their lives for me."

Su Lan knew that her adoptive mother had her maternal family in mind, so she had to protect this family and avoid being implicated by Ye Chuxue, who was bound to rebel.

After Su Lan left, Queen An sent the head maid out of the palace to find Duke E and remind him to pay more attention to the actions of his youngest daughter Ye Chuxue.
