Teach Her a Lesson

“Mother! The Li family did it on purpose this time!” Wen Qiong angrily threw the hangover soup that the female slave had just served to the ground.

With a crash, the cup shattered into a million tiny pieces.

“Insolence!” the queen snapped. “Wen Qiong, you are becoming more and more unruly!”

After being shouted at by the queen, Wen Qiong’s eyes turned red. “Mother, instead of feeling sorry for me, you’re scolding me!”

The queen sighed in exasperation and took ‘s hand. Her skin was flushed from the soup she had splashed on it. “You’re too impatient.”

“The Li family suddenly changed their candidate for the competition this year, and Li Ling rode a griffin into the arena today. They planned it all along!” Wen Qiong accused the Li family of having planned it all along.

The queen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she knew that Wen Qiong had a point.

However, the Li family was her family after all. Being too calculative wouldn’t help her control the current situation.

However, she still had to think of a way to teach the Li family a lesson!

The queen pulled Wen Qiong to sit beside her and said softly, “Li Ling was just showing off today. Tomorrow’s competition is the key!”

“But I didn’t even get a chance to compete,” Wen Qiong said, gritting her teeth in frustration.

The queen smiled. “Don’t you have a chance to perform?!”

Wen Qiong was stunned. She stared at the queen for a long moment before she understood. “Mother, do you mean for me to spar with her?”

The queen gently lifted the hair on one side of Wen Qiong’s head and gently combed it behind her ear. “You can decide your own performance method. I won’t interfere.”

“Besides, you have the little phoenix to help you. The more exciting the performance, the more those outsiders will know how valiant our princess is!” The queen chuckled, her eyes filled with love.

Wen Qiong’s eyes darted around before she finally cheered up. “I understand! Tomorrow, I’ll let them know what the true strength of a phoenix is!”

“Only an innate phoenix essence is worthy of an ancient divine beast!” Wen Qiong raised her chin slightly and revealed a proud expression again.

The queen looked at Wen Qiong with satisfaction, her face a picture of relief. “This is what a princess should be like!”

“Tomorrow, you will show everyone who is the future ruler of this country!” the queen said, tightening her grip on Wen Qiong’s hand.

Wen Qiong nodded heavily.

The queen turned to the slave girl. “Where is Yin Ling? I haven’t seen him since the opening ceremony!”

“Your Majesty, Yin Ling has just returned,” the female slave replied respectfully.

“Tell him to see me,” the queen whispered.

Then, she turned to Wen Qiong and said, “Go back and rest first! Be good tomorrow!”

Wen Qiong bowed and left, passing Yin Ling, who had just entered.

“How are the preparations going?” the queen asked in a cool voice as soon as she saw Yin Ling.

“It’s already prepared. Tomorrow, the little phoenix will definitely be a gentle and obedient spirit beast!” Yin Ling’s voice was cold and emotionless.

The queen nodded in satisfaction. “I trust you will do your job! Tomorrow, I want Qiong’er to be the center of attention!”

Yin Ling hung his head slightly and didn’t respond.

The queen seemed to sense that something was wrong. She frowned and asked, “Has something happened?”

Yin Ling didn’t hesitate. He told the queen about Li Ling’s tantrum outside the garden today.

The queen looked angry. “Li Ling is getting out of hand!”

“Looks like she has become very cocky after what happened today!” The queen’s scowl deepened.

Then, she said to Yin Ling, “Go and teach her a lesson. Don’t let others laugh at the Li family for having such a rude person!”

Yin Ling immediately accepted the order. “Understood! I’ll do it now!”

…

In Kong Rui’s room in the Li family’s mansion.

She had just entered the storage ring to confirm Little Lion’s condition.

“Master, I’m fine. I can hold on for tomorrow’s competition!” Little Lion patted its chest and promised.

“Listen to my orders tomorrow. Don’t act rashly!” Kong Rui repeatedly instructed.

She didn’t want anything to happen to Little Lion!

“Okay!” Little Lion nodded heavily, then asked eagerly, “Master, can we save the little phoenix?”

“It pains me to see her treated like that today!” Little Lion said, looking sad.

“We will!” A determined look came over Kong Rui’s face. “Definitely!”

After comforting Little Lion, Kong Rui withdrew her divine sense from the storage ring and realized that there seemed to be something amiss with her room.
