When some people heard this, they couldn't help but say, "Your daughter is extremely brave. She and her maid killed all these snakes. It's amazing. She protected the safety of all the ladies. She is everyone's savior."

Then several other ladies followed suit, "That's right! That's right! Your daughter is very brave. In order to save everyone's lives, she bravely rushed into the snakes and fought with them with only a stick. It's really admirable!"

"Miss Su Jiu, you are brave and fearless, respectable and lovely. You are worthy of being a role model for all of us to learn from!"

The noble ladies who had just fled in panic without caring about anything were now not stingy with their words of praise, after all, this was indeed the fact.

By saying a few nice words, they won't be accused of being cold-hearted and will even be looked at with more respect. Why not do it?

Of course, there were also discordant voices, "The daughter of a small family is really vulgar and violent. She dared to fight a group of snakes. She is really brave. How can she be as demure, gentle and dignified as a lady from a noble family? She is really not a role model for women."

Everyone looked at the girl who spoke provocatively.

Some even mocked, "I just saved your sister, but now you are so heartless and say such sarcastic words. You really have no conscience! Next time you are in danger, who will dare to help you? Otherwise, you will repay kindness with enmity and ridicule us with cold sarcasm. Not only will you not end up well, but your reputation will also be tarnished. It's not worth it!"

"She is such an ungrateful person! She just saved her relatives, but now she turns her back on them. Whose daughter is she? She has a very beautiful face, but her heart is so evil. She is such a disgrace to us noble ladies! I wonder what kind of family can raise such a 'Dongguo Wolf'."

"What's wrong? Don't you even know her? She is Feng Qingge, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue Fengdu. She was once a famous noblewoman in the capital, known for her talent and beauty. But I heard that she and her sister followed their grandmother back to their ancestral home. She hasn't appeared in the capital for more than a year. She just came back from Fengzhou not long ago."

"It turns out that I was blind. It turned out to be the talented Feng Qingge! But the title of talented woman does not seem to be worthy of her. Is her brain broken? She has read so many books and turned herself into a fool who is not presentable. Saying such ungrateful words is really sad!"

"As expected, one should not judge a person by his appearance. Seeing is believing, hearing is not. This is reflected vividly in Miss Feng Qingge."

Various discussions expressing dissatisfaction with justice were heard one after another and continued for a long time.

The girl in the pink skirt named Feng Qingge's face turned blue and purple at the sight of her.

Su Ci seemed extremely calm about this. She just tilted her head slightly to glance at the girl, appearing to be completely unconcerned.

But I secretly made up my mind: I should stay away from such a heartless and ungrateful person in the future and never be contaminated by filth.

Su Ci grabbed Hua Fuyi's hand and asked quickly, "Mother, have you seen Princess Qionghua and Sister Su Zi?"

Hua Fuyin pointed outside the pavilion. Su Ci looked and saw Princess Qionghua, Su Zi and Nangong Xiaoya. The three of them met her gaze, waving at her and calling her name in lip language.

Not far from them stood Song Xi and Shen Jun.

Shen Jun lowered her head, clutching her dress with both hands. No one knew what she was thinking, and her expression could not be seen.

At this time, Song Xi was staring at her with cold eyes, with a hint of provocation and even a hint of warning in his eyes.

Su Ci met her gaze directly, with a murderous look in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear her into pieces.

The two sides stared at each other in the air for several rounds, neither giving in.

Soon, the pavilion was made brand new after being tidied up by the guards, eunuchs and palace maids. There was no trace of its previous messy and dirty appearance.

At this time, the eunuch outside the palace shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived, His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived..."

When everyone heard the voice, they knelt on the ground to welcome the holy presence.

Su Ci also knelt respectfully among the crowd.

"I heard that a group of snakes were just discovered here. I wonder if anyone is injured?" The caring voice of Emperor Mingguang was as warm as the wind, blowing towards everyone.

Listening to Emperor Mingguang's caring words, many people's respect for him became even stronger.

Li Junhui, the leader of the Imperial Guard, had just arrived. When he heard the emperor's question, he quickly stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, three ladies were bitten by snakes. Two of them were poisonous, and one was non-venomous. Fortunately, the poison was not strong. The imperial physician is already detoxifying them, and they should be fine soon."

Emperor Mingguang showed concern for everyone and said softly, "Everyone, hurry up and get up! You were frightened today. I will have someone investigate thoroughly and give everyone an explanation!"

Everyone stood up and stood respectfully.

Su Ci looked up at Emperor Mingguang, who was the center of attention. On the outside, he looked like an elegant middle-aged man with a very decent appearance, but the imposing aura of a person who had been in power for many years could not be ignored.

In particular, Emperor Mingguang's eyes were as sharp as knives, hiding countless cunning and shrewdness, which made people feel awe and dare not take chances or act rashly in front of him.

Emperor Mingguang looked at everyone and smiled kindly, "I heard that this time, fortunately, a noble lady named Su Ci saved us all. Where is this lady?"

Su Ci had anticipated that Emperor Mingguang's flower-viewing banquet was for the purpose of Prince Chen's marriage, so he naturally tried every possible means to tie her and Baili Chen together.

Now, there happened to be such an opportunity to save people, which could be directly linked to her, so naturally she would take advantage of it.

So, he couldn't wait to point the finger at her.

Su Ci took a step forward and kowtowed. "Your Majesty, I, your servant Su Ci, greet you. I wish you great health, longevity, and a long life. Long live your majesty!"

"Be flat!"

Emperor Mingguang glanced at Su Ci inconspicuously, and just as the secret guards had reported, her appearance was extremely stunning, as dazzling as a pearl.

There are naturally many women with such outstanding looks in the harem, but Su Ci still leaves a very unique impression.

Her calm demeanor is easy to impress people.

Emperor Mingguang said gently, "It seems that I did the right thing by marrying you to my younger brother Baili Chen. Not only is your appearance unparalleled, but you are also very courageous. You saved many noble ladies today, so I will definitely reward you. Tell me! What do you want? If your request is reasonable, I will satisfy you."

To outsiders, he was a good emperor who understood the big picture; but in Su Ci's eyes, he was a despicable and shameless villain who was full of calculations.
