HRPM – Chapter 214 Making Things Difficult for Her Isn’t So Easy (5)

The woman rolled her eyes in fury, utterly defeated, and staggered away supported by her maid.

Watching the noble ladies below being angered into complete disarray, the Empress felt secretly delighted.

Although Jin Luoluo spoke crudely and arrogantly, her words were not without reason. Those noblewomen had only retreated because they were left speechless by her sharp attacks.

This method of going completely against convention had actually allowed her to turn defeat into victory. She truly was a clever girl.

The Empress became even more satisfied with Jin Luoluo.

“I see the Princess Consort of the Eastern Commandery seems to have something to say. Why not let her pose another challenge for Luoluo?”

The Princess Consort of the Eastern Commandery stepped forward. Her narrow brows and forehead, along with her arrogant and disdainful manner, made it obvious she was not a broad-minded person.

“Miss Jin, embroidery is a skill known throughout Chu Yun Kingdom, from noblewomen in the imperial palace down to commoners. Surely this time you can’t avoid it! Don’t tell this Princess Consort that you can’t even do something so simple. People would laugh their teeth out.”

“So if something is simple, that means everyone must know how to do it? Is that what Your Highness means? Fine then, let me ask you a simple question too. If you can’t answer it, I don’t think there’s any need for me to answer your question either.”

“What simple question? Go ahead.” The Princess Consort clearly did not take Jin Luoluo seriously at all.

“How did the pig die?”

Jin Luoluo threw out the riddle.

How could the Princess Consort possibly know what a trick question was? She froze blankly.

“How did it die?”

“It died from stupidity.”

The entire hall instantly erupted into roaring laughter.

Xiao Yu laughed the hardest of all, practically doubled over. He had never liked this Princess Consort anyway, so hearing Jin Luoluo call her a pig suited him perfectly.

Hearing Jin Luoluo’s words, Xiao Luo felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Still, he had to admire her quick wit. Every sentence struck directly at the target, scolding people so thoroughly that they could not even argue back.

“You insulted me!” the Princess Consort finally realized and exploded in rage.

Jin Luoluo looked at her sympathetically.

“You couldn’t even answer such a simple question. If that’s not dying from stupidity, then what is? There’s a saying: even a fool may have one good idea among a thousand thoughts, which is why you know embroidery. And even a wise person may make one mistake among a thousand thoughts, which is why I don’t know embroidery. Are you satisfied with that answer? Ahh, when you lose, you should at least show some grace~~ Please stop foaming at the mouth, okay? You’re polluting the environment~~”
