Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Chapter 126: Beauty’s Bones

Shen Qingli’s heart was burning with anxiety. No, she couldn’t wait any longer.

Yet, she couldn’t understand what kind of dirty trick that ugly woman had used to increase Jia Lan’s affinity!

But no matter, Shen Qingli was confident that as long as Jia Lan saw her face, he would definitely fall in love with her at first sight!

Shen Qingli couldn’t wait for a month; it was too long, and who knew what would happen in the meantime? If Jia Lan truly fell for that ugly woman, wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?

Shen Qingli immediately rushed to the Imperial Palace to propose to the Empress and Your Majesty that the ceremony should be held in advance.

The Emperor was displeased and said, "It was agreed to hold the ceremony a month from now, and the invitations have already been sent out. Why are you in such a rush? Changing the date of the ceremony casually will make others think our Night Glow Empire is too lax."

Shen Qingli put on a pitiful expression, "I’m sorry, Father, I’m just too anxious. I feel a month is too long, and keeping the foreign envoys waiting is not good. If something changes during this time, it will disrupt plans... Besides, since the envoys haven’t left yet, it would be better to hold it early."

Hearing her reasoning, both the Emperor and the Empress couldn’t find fault with her words. After all, it was a matter already set in stone; holding the ceremony early or a month later didn’t really make a difference.

The ceremony site was almost set up anyway, and at worst, they could just send out new invitations.

The Emperor had no choice but to agree, "So, when do you plan to hold the ceremony?"

Shen Qingli wished the ceremony could be held the next day, but she knew appearing too eager would look strange.

She had to suppress her urgency and replied with a gentle smile, "Let’s hold it three days from now!"

The Empress frowned and gently spoke, "Three days later? Qingli, won’t that be a bit too rushed?"

Three days was the maximum Shen Qingli could endure. She had an increasing sense of foreboding the more it was delayed.

"Don’t worry, Mother, I’ll handle the details of the ceremony. You don’t need to worry!" Shen Qingli persuaded them to finalize the matter.

Meanwhile, the announcement was broadcast throughout the Empire.

In three days, the heir’s investiture ceremony would be held.

Shen Qingli left the Imperial Palace with a smile on her face, already imagining Jia Lan and the others being amazed at the ceremony and falling deeply in love with her.

What right did that ugly person have to compete with her?

Heh, when the time comes, she’ll ensure that ugly woman makes a fool of herself in front of everyone and becomes a laughingstock!

With these thoughts, Shen Qingli revealed a satisfied, triumphant smile. Malice flashed briefly in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it, maintaining her gentle facade, and returned to the Princess Mansion, escorted by her attendants.

The Princess Mansion had been refurbished and appeared more luxurious and grandiose.

Xue Yinzhou sat cross-legged on the rooftop, observing the bustling servants.

He could clearly hear their whispered conversations.

The ceremony had been moved up?

Xue Yinzhou frowned.

He had heard that female had come too.

She wasn’t even a princess anymore; what was she doing here?

Xue Yinzhou initially had no interest in the investiture ceremony and didn’t plan on attending, but then he felt being bored at the Princess Mansion and thought it wouldn’t hurt to join the commotion.

"Yin Zhou, are you there?"

Shen Qingli’s voice suddenly echoed in the courtyard.

Xue Yinzhou’s gaze turned cool, and in a flash, he disappeared.

Shen Qingli, according to the system, knew Xue Yinzhou was in the Princess Mansion, but after searching everywhere, she couldn’t find him, leaving her frustrated and vexed.

No matter how aloof this Snake Beast was, she was at least his savior, wasn’t she entitled to some respect?

But ever since she saved him, she hadn’t seen him, making it impossible for her to complete her tasks.

Shen Qingli had intended to inform Xue Yinzhou about the investiture in three days, but now that she couldn’t find him, there was no way to notify him, and she didn’t know if he’d attend that day.

Shen Qingli tried to calm herself, believing that this Snake Beast appeared aloof on the outside, but must be grateful to her in his heart.

Upon hearing the news, he would surely attend her investiture ceremony!

The protagonist was in such a rush, wasn’t she afraid of things going wrong? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
