Chapter Seven: Danger

After the Empress Dowager left, the palace maids who had been serving in the hall served tea and snacks and then tactfully withdrew, their actions so deliberate as if they were accommodating her.

"..."

They all think she's going to commit violence, right?

hateful!

Preconceived notions are so harmful, waaaaah!

Yuan Siyin pinched her thigh, telling herself not to shake.

She's the woman who has the entire plot under her control.

I guess so.

The first thing Yuan Siyin did after taking her seat was to untie the golden silk whip and place it timidly to the side.

Tag all members, look, she's surrendered!

It's really too difficult to pretend to have the unpredictable personality of the original character while also clinging to the male lead's coattails.

After she was seated, Yu Yuanchao stood up and took out an exquisite carved wooden box from his bosom, presenting it to her like a treasure: "Sister Siyin, I found a black pearl from the North Sea the other day. Take a look, do you like it?"

Yuan Siyin took the exquisite box, overjoyed.

With a gentle press of the clasp, the openwork lid pops open deftly, revealing a lustrous, perfectly round, and translucent pearl inside.

She grabbed the black sea pearl and stuffed it back into Yu Yuanchao's hand, then put the pearl she had been holding in her own palm into it.

Good heavens, who knew that she had just pinched her leg and pulled the little pearls off her skirt.

And then pull out two more.

When someone is really unlucky, even drinking cold water and getting stuck in their teeth is considered a good thing.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Yin'er really likes this box."

At least I don't have to hold it in my hand anymore.

Who understands this feeling?

Upon seeing this, Yu Yuanrong couldn't help but chuckle, but after being glared at fiercely by Yu Yuanchao, she immediately shut up and remained meek.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was preoccupied with Yuan Siyin and had no time to pay attention to the others, Yu Yuanrong leaned close to Yu Shiyan's ear and whispered, "Seventh Brother, indeed, there is one thing that can subdue another. Only Yuan Siyin can keep Big Brother in check."

Yu Shiyan remained silent, his eyes, which were lowered, were like a pool of cold water, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura.

Yuan Siyin's gaze passed over the troublesome Crown Prince and occasionally landed on Yu Shiyan.

How can we get rid of those two people so that she can be alone with the male lead without it seeming abrupt?

Just as Yuan Siyin was racking her brains, the Crown Prince's voice suddenly came to her ears: "I know, it must be that Sister Siyin has not seen Seventh Brother for a long time. In that case, Eighth Brother, let's leave first and not disturb them."

Yuan Siyin was startled. She was still figuring out what excuse to use to get the Crown Prince away, but now he himself had suggested leaving, and as a bonus, he also took the Eighth Prince with him.

But what did it mean when he raised his eyebrows at her knowingly before he left?

No, why are you closing the door in broad daylight?!

Yuan Si chants, "Danger."

Do you realize that putting this seemingly weak but vicious female supporting character next to the male lead could easily lead to trouble?!

Yu Shiyan's face was ashen as he numbly rose and knelt before her.

Yuan Siyin was so frightened that she could dig out a courtyard house from her toes.

It should be her kneeling, shouldn't it?

She was terrified by the way the male lead acted.

Seeing that the woman in the superior position remained silent for a long time, her brows furrowed and her face gloomy as if she was dissatisfied, Yu Shiyan gritted his teeth and took off his outer robe.

His blue robe slipped to the ground, leaving the man in only a thin undergarment. He had a wide waist and narrow hips, a typical example of someone who looked slim in clothes but muscular when undressed.

Yuan Siyin was startled and immediately covered her eyes, peeking at him through her fingers: "What are you doing!"

Why is he taking off his clothes without warning? What's wrong with him?

It looks pretty good though...hehe...

Yuan Siyin paused for a moment, then turned her head away, wishing she could slap herself hard.
