Transmigrated into a useless female in interstellar space, she won big by picking up an SSS-level be

In the bedroom, Jiang Zhixia lay unconscious on the bed, while the Empress stood by the bedside with a worried look in her eyes.

Jiang Huai and Jiang Ting were also not far away. In the room, there was a row of males with different appearances.

These are all eligible single males from imperial noble families.

Today, Jiang Lin originally wanted to use the welcome banquet to let them make an appearance and let her daughter choose.

As it turned out, Jiang Huai got the man drunk, and Jiang Ting ended up carrying him back from the back garden.

Jiang Lin rubbed her temples and glared fiercely at Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai felt guilty and dared not utter a sound.

Among the group of richly dressed noblemen, Su Chen, dressed in a white tuxedo, glanced at Jiang Zhixia on the bed and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the princess's wine wasn't strong; she shouldn't be so drunk as to be unconscious. Why don't you let me take a look?"

He was also among those invited today, but he never expected to see the Third Princess again in this way.

Jiang Lin stepped aside: "Yes, come and take a look."

Su Chen is the empire's youngest healer, with superb medical skills. With him taking care of her, Jiang Lin feels at ease.

Jiang Zhixia woke up at this moment.

She hadn't recovered from the terror before she fainted when she opened her eyes to find a face close to hers. Instinctively, she slapped it away, yelling, "Ahhh!"

"Snapped!"

The slap landed squarely on Su Chen's face.

Jiang Ting, who was standing to the side, twitched his brow.

After Jiang Zhixia regained her senses from hitting the person, she realized she was in her bedroom in the palace.

What is she doing here?

Looking around again, I was even more confused.

Why are there so many people in the room?

Huh, what's this handsome doctor doing here?

I... I just hit him?

Su Chen slowly turned his head, his expression so calm it was as if he wasn't the one who had been beaten. His tone was gentle, "Queen, the princess is probably just a bit sensitive to alcohol. She'll be fine once she wakes up."

Jiang Zhixia realized she had hit the wrong person and wanted to apologize, but Jiang Lin interrupted her.

"Why are you so drunk and dizzy for so long? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Lin didn't think there was anything wrong with her daughter hitting someone, and looked at her with concern.

Jiang Zhixia composed herself and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

That pervert can come and go freely in the palace; he must be no ordinary person.

With so many people in the room, it's hard to say she might be one of them. What if she blurts it out and alerts the enemy?

She shook her head: "I'm alright, Mother."

After saying that, she looked at Su Chen apologetically.

Su Chen lowered his eyes and didn't receive it.

Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed at Jiang Huai and yelled, "This is all your doing! Jiang Ting, teach him a lesson!"

Jiang Ting glanced at Jiang Huai's brightly colored head and said calmly, "Yes."

He grabbed Jiang Huai, who had a bitter face, and turned to leave.

Jiang Huai wailed, "Big brother! I have filming tomorrow, please go easy on me—"

The sound gradually faded into the distance.

The remaining males in the room exchanged glances.

No one cared that Su Chen was beaten for no reason. Everyone knew that Su Chen's position in the family was awkward. In fact, he was not even a direct descendant. What was a slap from the princess?

What they care about is something else: whether what the princess said in the video is true or false?

Look at that slap... Would she really be good to her husband?

Only lower-class men are easily swayed by those kinds of words; they're not stupid.

Upon seeing that Jiang Zhixia had woken up, they all politely took their leave.

Su Chen also prepared to leave.

"Su Chen," Jiang Lin called out to him, "Take another close look at the princess; she doesn't look too well."

Jiang Zhixia did look unwell, but it was because she was frightened by that pervert.

But upon hearing the name "Su Chen," she was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and abruptly raised her head.

Who? Su Chen?!

Isn't that the female lead's male best friend?!

She remembered that not long after the female lead returned, she hit it off with Su Chen, the empire's genius healer, and the two collaborated to develop a new inhibitor, which became famous overnight.

But... wasn't Su Chen disfigured?

In the original storyline, when Su Chen met the female lead, his entire face was burned, and he was missing an ear, so he only wore a mask.

As for the reason, the plot doesn't explain it at all; it only repeatedly describes how the female lead warms him with her care and concern.

Su Chen stopped and turned back: "Yes, Empress."

Jiang Zhixia stared at his handsome face, which seemed completely out of place in the plot.

Jiang Lin trusted Su Chen completely, so she simply stood up and went out to deal with the guests.

After Jiang Lin left, only Jiang Zhixia and Su Chen remained in the room.

Su Chen lowered his eyes and said gently, "Princess, I was just using my spiritual power to examine your body. I apologize for the intrusion."

Jiang Zhixia nodded.

While male mental energy can be offensive, some races do not possess strong offensive capabilities. Mental energy can also be used for other purposes, such as detection.

Su Chen was clearly the latter.

She said softly, "Um, I'm sorry about that, I didn't mean to..."

Su Chen smiled slightly, "It's nothing. Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Seeing Jiang Zhixia shake her head, he slowly withdrew his mental energy and reassessed the situation in his mind.

The princess showed no reaction whatsoever when her body was explored by the male's spiritual power, so it seems she's probably not even a C-rank.

Jiang Zhixia was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands.

We can't afford to offend this future bigwig!

That slap should have been delivered to the pervert's face, not to this angel in white!

She looked at him sincerely again, "I'm so sorry. How about this, what kind of compensation do you want? I'll agree to anything I can do."

Su Chen lowered his eyes and looked at the female on the bed who was looking up at him earnestly apologizing.

He found it somewhat amusing.

It was just a slap; he had experienced things a thousand times worse, and he genuinely didn't take it to heart just now.

But now, he has received a sincere apology.

The princess probably didn't know that her actions not only failed to move him, but instead aroused his...greed.

"The princess said any compensation would be acceptable?"

Jiang Zhixia blinked: If you want my life, I won't give it to you.

Su Chen stared at her quietly for a few seconds, then suddenly knelt down on one knee.

This action startled her. "What, what are you doing?"

Su Chen raised his hand and gently placed it on hers, holding it in his hand.

"If possible, I hope that when the princess chooses her husband from among all the males, she will choose me."

Jiang Zhixia: "...Hmm?"

……

After the banquet, Jiang Zhixia insisted on returning to her private villa.

Then she was forced to get into her older brother's hovercar.

Don't ask, the answer is that in any era, we must abide by the rule of "don't drink and drive, and don't drink and drive."

Inside the car, Jiang Zhixia couldn't help but steal glances at her older brother.

Unlike Su Chen's gentle and refined face, the eldest brother's face is undeniably handsome, with no artifice whatsoever; it's just raw and undeniably striking.

They were just too cold-hearted... The two of them didn't exchange a single word the whole way.

Upon arriving at the villa entrance, Jiang Zhixia quickly got out of the car, carrying her belongings.

Jiang Ting finally spoke.

His dark eyes looked at the thing in her arms: "You like to eat it?"

Jiang Zhixia was stunned for a moment.

Following his gaze, she murmured "Oh," twice, "Not bad. The food made by the palace chefs is delicious; you can't buy it anywhere else, haha..."

The cake in her arms was one she had taken from the palace to feed Lu Jue.

Jiang Ting paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."

Jiang Zhixia: "...?"

Before she could figure out what her older brother meant, the car window closed and the hovercar flew off.
