Chapter 372 Wait and see
But Su Lanxin didn't believe it and pointed at her angrily: "If you hadn't suddenly kicked over the table, how could Li Yulian trip and splash water on me?"
If these things hadn't happened, she wouldn't have been pushed into the side hall by Wang Ruohan and embarrassed, and she wouldn't have been slapped and humiliated by Fu Mingheng.
So she thought all this was caused by Su Lanyin kicking over the table.
Otherwise, the cup of water would have been poured on Su Lanyin, and she would have been the one pushed into the side hall, and she would have been the one beaten by the prince!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Su Lanxin saw the wine glass on the table, grabbed it and wanted to throw it at Su Lanyin.
But in the next second, Fu Wuyang hit her wrist with a stone. She let go of her hand in pain. The wine glass fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and everyone looked over here.
Su Lanxin finally noticed that King Xiaoyao was standing not far from Su Lanyin.
She suddenly realized and seemed to understand something.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Su Lanxin asked angrily, covering her wrist. "No matter what, I am still the Crown Prince's man. You actually attacked me by surprise. Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you if it gets out?"
Fu Wuyang smiled calmly: "What did I do to you? Do you have any evidence?"
"You..." Su Lanxin was furious.
It must be said that the two of them are exactly the same in terms of their cheating behavior.
"Okay, even if you didn't sneak attack me, the matter between Su Lanyin and I is not over yet. I spent a lot of money on that dress, so you have to double the compensation."
"Why? It wasn't me who splashed it."
"Not you but because of you."
"Why don't you go find Li Yulian? Oh, I see. You're afraid of the Li family, so you only dare to come to me."
"You... stop talking nonsense! Miss Li...she didn't do it on purpose, why should I look for her?"
"Then how can you be sure I did it on purpose?"
"You kicked the table down for no reason, how can that not be intentional?"
"I said I kicked the table over accidentally. I didn't break any law. What can you do to me?"
"you you……"
Su Lanxin was immediately furious, but she couldn't argue with him and couldn't afford to offend him.
Suddenly, she thought of something, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she calmed down.
"Since you won't admit it, how about we make a bet?"
"What bet?" Su Lanyin became interested and stood up to look at her.
Su Lanxin said, "I will present a birthday gift to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later. If your gift is better than mine, I will consider myself unlucky and will not pursue the matter of the clothes. But if I win, you have to kneel down and kowtow to me to admit your mistake!"
"not good."
Su Lanyin shook her head without hesitation.
Su Lanxin sneered: "Ha~ Are you afraid?"
"I mean, this bet is not a good one. Why should you not have to do anything if I win, but I have to kneel down if you win?"
"Then...then if you win, I will kneel down and kowtow to you and admit my mistake!"
"Okay, that's fair." Su Lanyin nodded and agreed readily.
"Very good, let's wait and see!"
"We'll see!"
Su Lanxin regained her haughty look, smiled at her provocatively, turned around and went back to her seat with her head held high.
Fu Wuyang asked curiously, "Why did you agree to her request?"
Su Lanyin peeled the orange in her hand nonchalantly: "Because I want to see her kowtow."
"Are you so sure that you can win?"
"No."
"Then you still want to compete?"
"How do you know if you can win if you don't compete?"
"…You are talking nonsense to me."
"So what? Your Majesty doesn't like to hear my nonsense, so I won't say anything."
"You'd better say it."
The two of them bickered with each other, and then sat together again.
Many people looked over here, thinking that the relationship between King Xiaoyao and Su Lanyin was too close.
He seemed to be doing it on purpose, and she didn't refuse.
There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two of them, which was to be misunderstood without explanation.
Fu Wuyang needs a woman to dispel the rumors about his sexual fetish, and Su Lanyin also needs a backer.
In this way, the two of them can achieve a win-win cooperation and there is nothing to avoid.
……
The fireworks show officially began, and the emperor, empress dowager, queen and others sat in the main seats to watch together.
The ink-like sky was painted with countless colorful fireworks, as beautiful as the Milky Way from the sky falling on the earth.
Everyone looked up at the sky, marveling at the beauty of the moment.
Only a trace of loneliness flashed across Su Lanyin's eyes.
Even though the fireworks are brilliant, they are ultimately short-lived and fleeting. The more beautiful something is, the harder it is to hold on to it.
She doesn't expect, so she won't be disappointed.
Thinking of this, she no longer looked up.
As soon as she lowered her head, she saw a little palace maid sneaking past her.
Seeing her looking down at him, he immediately ran away and soon disappeared into the darkness.
It all happened so fast that Su Lanyin almost didn't react.
Everyone looked up at the sky intently, so they didn't pay any attention to what other people around them were doing.
Unfortunately, by the time she realized it, it was already too late, and she didn't even remember what the other person looked like.
If you want to find it, it may be difficult to find.
Forget it, since it can't be prevented, it's better to be more careful.
She would never touch anything on the table, no matter if it was food or drink.
After the fireworks show, it was time for the young men and women to show their birthday gifts.
Seeing that everyone gave gifts of no value, Su Lanxin slowly stood up and walked to the center.
She bowed politely and gracefully, her tone soft and gentle: "This commoner, Su Lanxin, pays respects to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress."
"No need to be polite." The emperor spoke with dignity in his tone and scrutiny in his eyes, "Are you Su Lanxin, the woman next to Heng'er?"
This name sounded familiar. The emperor thought about it and suddenly thought of Su Lanyin.
It seems that this is Su Yongcheng's legitimate daughter.
Judging from her appearance, she is not as good as Su Lanyin, who was born as a concubine.
I just don't know what kind of character he is, whether he is as bad as the rumors say.
Su Lanxin slowly stood up, lowered her eyebrows and whispered: "Today is not only the birthday of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but also the day when the Queen suffered. In the folks, people will call their children's birthdays the Mother's Hardship Day, so I want to sing a song "The Song of the Wandering Son" for the Queen, the mother of a country, and also represent the filial piety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
These words were so touching that even the usually harsh queen couldn't help but nod in appreciation.
The emperor said: "In that case, then you can sing."
"Yes, I am sorry to show my ugliness."
Su Lanxin cleared her throat and started singing.
Although there was no accompaniment, the melody and lyrics from her mouth were very beautiful and moving.
For a moment, everyone present was moved.
Even Crown Prince Fu Mingheng, who had just beaten Su Lanxin for another woman, showed a look of surprise in his eyes.
