I dressed as a princess and cheated on myself

"Well said!" The Fourth Prince took the lead in applauding, but found that he was the only one in the audience applauding. When the Crown Prince's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot and gave him a warning look, he silently put down his hands like a child who had done something wrong.

Prince Heng suddenly felt relieved. He really underestimated her. She didn't need him to protect her eloquence at all. Her fighting ability was so strong that he couldn't suppress the smile on his face no matter what.

The prince's fists were clattering. If the emperor had not been standing here, he would have punched the woman, knocked out all her teeth, pulled out her tongue, and made her kneel down and beg for mercy!

Everyone was worried for Song Bushi. She was the first person in the world who dared to confront the prince like this in front of the emperor. She was really like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger. She dared to say anything!

The emperor coughed. He was not angry at what Song Bushi said. Instead, he admired her a little. She was indeed a disciple brought up by a hermit. She was resolute and courageous. She spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and her words were well-reasoned and well-founded. On the contrary, the prince was not wise and steady enough. He was usually domineering and everyone gave in to him. Unexpectedly, he met a tough guy today.

"Alright, alright, stop talking too much. Today's a family dinner, and harmony is the most important thing." The emperor acted as a peacemaker.

The prince refused to accept the suggestion. "Father, she is disrespectful and rude. A lowly and vulgar woman like this must not be allowed to stay. It is an insult to the royal family!"

No one understood why the prince was so hostile to Song Bushi. Although he was usually domineering, he was still reasonable. Today he attacked Song Bushi like a mad dog, which was really irrational. Moreover, the relationship between him and King Heng was sensitive, so he was too impatient.

Song Bushi was not angry, because she knew that the prince had been brooding over the fact that he ate noodles she cooked in a urinal last time, and he deliberately embarrassed her today. Although she had not done that unintentionally, it was true that she had cooked noodles in a urinal, and it was also true that she had hurt his fragile body and mind.

So, she took the initiative to give in, "Okay, it can be seen that His Royal Highness really hates me, so I will not argue with His Royal Highness. Everything that happened before was my fault. I am here to apologize to His Royal Highness. I hope His Royal Highness will be magnanimous and not argue with me."

Seeing that she took the initiative to apologize, the emperor also began to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, she's already apologized, so stop talking."

The prince felt very aggrieved. If this were to happen, how would he save his dignity?

"Father, I usually don't argue with women, but today she really went too far. If she wants my forgiveness, she must kneel down and kowtow to me!"

The emperor looked at Song Bushi. Although he didn't say anything, he was trying to protect his son. After all, in his mind, asking a concubine to kowtow to his son was no big deal. It was also about maintaining the dignity of the royal family. After all, what she said just now really hurt the prince's self-esteem. The prince would be the king of a country in the future, and this request was not excessive.

Song Bushi was still thinking about apologizing and reconciling, not wanting to make things too awkward with the Crown Prince, but he didn't expect him to push his luck further, so he immediately said, "Your Highness, you think that what I said just now was wrong and insulting to you, so you want me to kowtow, right?"

The prince raised his head, squinted his eyes at her, and said proudly, "Isn't it?"

Song Bushi smiled and said, "Is that right? I won't argue and will speak with facts. Does the prince dare to accept my challenge?"

The prince narrowed his eyes and said nothing. What tricks was this woman trying to play?

Song Bushi continued, "Although I am not as educated as the Crown Prince, I am not completely uneducated, and I am not completely illiterate. It's just that my conditions are limited, and I don't have the same favorable learning conditions as the Crown Prince. But I think I am still quite smart. I dare to give the Crown Prince a riddle. If the Crown Prince can answer it, then I will take back what I said just now and kowtow to apologize to the knowledgeable Crown Prince! If the Crown Prince can't answer it, please don't embarrass me anymore."

Another meaning of this sentence is, if you can't answer the questions asked by an illiterate like me, then you are a half-baked person. I didn't do anything wrong, so why should you apologize?

The prince was so angry that he laughed, "You? You're giving me a riddle? Are you afraid that I can't answer it? This is really hilarious!"

The Third Prince and the Sixth Prince both urged, "Promise her. Big Brother is well-educated. What kind of riddle can stump him?"

The fourth prince also nodded, "Then accept it. Just accept the loss and abide by the rules."

"Okay! This prince accepts the challenge. If you lose, you will have to knock me to death. Do you dare?"

Prince Heng stood up and said, "Your Highness, this is over."

The prince snorted coldly, "What qualifications does she have to test me? If I don't risk her life, why would I play with her? Do you really think the royal dignity is a joke?"

The emperor naturally protected the prince, "I think it's okay! If you openly challenge the dignity of the royal family, you must pay the price. If you don't dare, just kowtow now, you don't have to risk your life, Miss Song, you can choose it yourself."

Song Bushi rolled his eyes in his heart and said with a smile, "Then I will ask the questions. For the sake of fairness, the answers will be handed over to the emperor in advance, so that no one can deny it."

The emperor whispered, "Do you really want to play? Why risk your life? Ze'er is very knowledgeable. A little trick like guessing riddles won't be difficult for him."

Song Bushi was very grateful for the emperor's reminder, but if she backed down now, what dignity would she have in the future? Not only would she be embarrassed, but Prince Heng and the two children would also lose face!

"Your Majesty, this is a question of dignity. As long as you are a human being, you have dignity. The dignity of the royal family is dignity, and the dignity of ordinary people is also dignity. People may be divided into high and low, but dignity is the same!"

The emperor actually admired her a little. "Well, you have guts. I will play with you. Come on, bring the paper and ink."

The eunuch brought paper and ink to Song Bushi. Song Bushi covered his face with his hands like a child, afraid that others would see him. He clumsily wrote a few words on the paper, then folded the paper and personally handed it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I believe in you!"

The prince whispered something childish and said impatiently, "Please ask the question."

Song Bushi smiled and said, "The question is very simple. I just wrote three words on the paper. May I ask Your Highness, what are the three words I wrote?"

The prince was confused. "Doesn't the riddle have a clue? Can you at least tell me the riddle? How do I guess it?"

Song Bushi said, "I told you and I also gave you a hint."

The prince looked at everyone in confusion. Everyone had a confused look on their faces. The prince thought for a moment and said angrily, "You didn't tell me at all. How can I guess? There are so many words in the world. How can I know which three words you can write? How can there be such a question?"

Song Bushi said helplessly, "I really said it, the hint is very obvious, think about it carefully."

The prince didn't believe it and looked at the emperor, "Father, did she give any hints? Please take a look at the answer."
