After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 171 is reserved for my sister.

Qi Wanqiu didn't understand what was wrong with her mother.

Qi Shujie really wanted to slap his younger sister! All she knows is how to fight; she's such a blockhead.

I'm really impressed by her.

"Mother, things have already come to this, let's not worry, it's alright, my sister and I will figure something out."

Hearing her brother say this, Qi Wanqiu belatedly realized what had happened.

After the two of them took turns comforting the elderly mother, they returned to the courtyard.

Qi Wanqiu looked at her brother with some resentment.

"Brother, why are you so outstanding? Can't you be a little more low-key?"

Qi Shujie looked at his younger sister and said lightly.

"And what about you! You're acting like you're keeping a low profile. The place where you got hit today still hurts!"

Qi Wanqiu: This...

Two identical faces stared at each other, both deeply troubled.

After reading it, Fang Lingchu felt that it was quite interesting!
These two siblings are quite impressive! They're both shining in each other's fields!

The system was also laughing uncontrollably.

Right? When she and her brother were reincarnated, their genders were definitely mixed up, hahaha.

The other ladies also found it interesting.

These two from General Qi's family are quite amusing.

The Third Princess was extremely nervous, as Fang Lingchu had just mentioned him.

I've already made myself less noticeable, it's all Qi Wanqiu's fault.

Qi Wanqiu felt somewhat innocent after being glared at for no reason.

"Why did the Third Princess suddenly glare at him?"

The system happened to spot the two people's subtle actions.

[Host, look quickly! The Third Princess and Qi Wanqiu are exchanging glances.]

Third Princess: What? What do you mean by sending flirtatious glances?

Qi Wanqiu: What do you mean? The Third Princess has a crush on her?

Fang Lingchu glanced at the two of them secretly, but didn't notice anything.

The eldest princess slowly moved her body, and when she was about the right distance, she asked, "Third sister, do you like girls?"

How could she answer that question? Saying no was wrong, and saying yes was wrong too.

"Elder sister, eldest sister is watching. I'll tell you when we get back."

Seeing the two princesses whispering sweet nothings to each other, everyone's eyes began to wander.

The way he looked at Qi Wanqiu was strange, and he unconsciously kept his distance from her.

Qi Wanqiu: She doesn't like girls, Princess, could you please stop spreading rumors?

Qi Wanqiu looked up, gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and then wanted to shout: She's innocent! She didn't! She didn't have any improper thoughts about the Third Princess!

Fang Lingchu continued to observe the situation.

[What else? They're not back yet, so why did Qi Wanqiu come to the banquet today and even perform a sword dance?]

The system chuckled and said, "[It's probably because of you, host! With so many princesses around, if Qi Shujie came, wouldn't that be a crime of deceiving the emperor? So she had no choice but to come herself.]"

Fang Lingchu placed her hand on the table and unconsciously started knocking.

Fang Lingyan knew what her sister was doing just by seeing her action, and really wanted to reach out and hold her down.
What kind of banquet is this? It's a time when she can do whatever she wants.

"Princess, Lady, and Miss Qi have all finished showcasing their talents. Why don't the other sisters give it a try? Let's have a talent competition!"

Fang Lingyan's words brought the person who was deep in thought back to reality.

Fang Lingchu was happy to hear that there would be another performance to watch.

The eldest princess asked for everyone's opinion and then said, "Since everyone has no objections, let's begin preparations! There must be prizes for the competition. The second and third place winners will have their prizes prepared by the second and third princesses, and the first place winner will receive one."

The eldest princess glanced at Fang Lingchu, who was in a state of excitement, and said, "Why don't we have Princess Ding'an make the preparations?"

Fang Lingchu didn't even react when she heard her name called. Her smile froze.

Seeing her like this, the eldest princess couldn't resist teasing her.

"Princess Ding'an doesn't want to be the main attraction, so are you preparing a performance? That's fine too, then..."

Before the princess could finish speaking, Fang Lingchu quickly stood up, bowed, and took over the conversation.

"Your humble servant shall prepare the prizes! Prepare the prizes."

Seeing her nervous expression, the princess suddenly felt a sense of joy in teasing a child.

No wonder Father Emperor liked Lord Fang so much; she likes him now too.

[Guagua, why is the Princess smiling at me like that? And it's such a scary smile.]

The eldest princess quickly averted her gaze and then said to the young ladies, "I don't know what to prepare for you ladies, so I'll just take out the dagger I always carry with me as the second-place prize!"

The third princess had nothing to offer, so she took out her most beautiful pearl and placed it with the second princess's gold.

Fang Lingchu's eyes lit up when she saw the reward given by the Second Princess.

[Guagua, I'm tempted by the Second Princess's reward! What should I do?]

[Host, don't you have plenty of pocket money? How come you have absolutely no resistance to money?]

Fang Lingchu looked at so many gold coins, swallowed hard, and said, "Who would be afraid of having too much money? Besides, I'm starting a girls' academy here, and there are so many places where I need money. Of course, I'll try every means to make money."

Princess: Lord Fang actually has the same idea as the Empress Dowager.

Second Princess: Do my mother and the Empress think the same way?

Third Princess: This young Master Fang is really amazing.

The system thought about it and agreed.

Are you going to participate?

Fang Lingchu gave the system a look.

[I'll give you a look, you know I'm hopeless at everything, how am I supposed to go and let them laugh at me?]

Didn't all the admirable image I painstakingly built up vanish in an instant?

The system praised, "Host, you're finally really going to put on a good image."

[When have I ever not cared about my image? I put on such a tiring show for court, isn't that all for this? And when I talk to those officials, I have to maintain a proper demeanor, isn't that all for the sake of my image? What you're saying...]

Fang Lingyan: After doing so much, she hasn't preserved her image at all, and it's getting more and more distorted. Her sister is the first person to pretend to be someone else.

Princess: Ding'an is so cute! I really want to raise her.

Others: The princess is quite normal as long as she's not gossiping.

The eldest princess looked at Fang Lingchu and stared at the third princess's gold, forgetting to mention what she had prepared.

"Young Master Fang, where are the prizes you prepared!"

These words instantly brought Fang Lingchu back to reality.

【Ahhh, Guagua, what do I need to prepare?】

The system checked the system shop and said, "How about rewarding them with the Queen's Poison Apple? Guaranteed to kill them instantly."

Others: No, no.

The princess had just picked up her teacup when she almost spat it out.

What is the Queen's poisoned apple?

It's so poisonous it kills you instantly! What kind of monstrosity is this?

What kind of advice is this system giving? Please, Mr. Fang, don't agree to it!
