Upon hearing this, the emperor and empress looked somewhat uncomfortable, realizing that they had indeed wronged the person!

Is this the face that ranks in the top ten of the best skin list? To be honest, it does look pretty pinchable...

Just as everyone was casting condemning glances at Zhang Guanjing and apologizing to the Western Regions princess, Chuanwen's eyes were fixed on Zhang Guanjing's face.

[Her skin is so delicate and smooth, I really want to touch it!]

cough!

When the emperor coughed, Zhang Chengjue, who was secretly hiding behind his colleague, almost lost his footing.

Can we please stop being so reckless?

The emperor and empress were speechless, especially the emperor. He got angry whenever the skin ranking was mentioned. Why was he ranked last?

His gaze fell on Cheng Gonghuan, the Vice Minister of Works, who shivered and quickly lowered his head, not daring to breathe. Then he heard Chuanwen's heartfelt laughter.

[Old Cheng, you're being a bit dishonest here! I can understand updating the rankings, but why is the Emperor ranked first?]

Chuanwen's gaze lingered on the emperor's face, seemingly casually, before he launched into an even more scathing attack on Cheng Gonghuan: "[The emperor's skin is so loose, his pores are practically large enough to fit an elephant, and the blackheads on his nose... anyone who didn't know better would think he'd stolen someone's dragon fruit! Old Cheng, how could you so heartlessly rank the emperor first? Ugh, if you ranked him like that, did Old Man Chen agree to it?]"

[Hey! Why is the emperor shaking? Is he having a Parkinson's attack?]

Chuanwen was puzzled, and continued digging until he discovered that Old Man Chen's ranking had also changed. He was originally last, but now he was third, because the second was the Crown Prince.

Message: ......

His gaze fell on Cheng Gonghuan. Although he sensed a strange unease in Cheng Gonghuan, he inwardly berated himself: "Old Cheng, you've changed. If you keep this sloppy, I'm not following this ranking anymore!"

Cheng Gonghuan buried his head, almost crying. He knew he had to avoid this girl from now on; every time he ran into her, nothing good ever came of it!

The emperor was so angry that his fingers trembled. Was he really as ugly as this brat made him out to be? If an elephant could fit into its pores, would it even be human? This is an exaggeration!

The emperor's heart was breaking. He had been missing Chuanwen quite a bit, but now he just wanted to avoid seeing her!

The emperor looked at Zhang Guanjing with a smile on his lips. The smile was very kind, but Zhang Guanjing felt a chill for no reason. He even wondered if the emperor wanted to behead him at the Meridian Gate!

Thump!

It was the sound of Zhang Guanjing kneeling in panic, but he still wanted to defend himself, "Your Majesty, I...I didn't say anything wrong. It has always been this way. Women should stay at home and obediently serve their husbands and raise their children..."

[Tsk tsk tsk!]

Chuanwen clicked his tongue in disapproval. "What a smooth operator! Why isn't he a bit dim-witted? He's still fixated on whether someone is a woman or not. Isn't it his prejudice and rashness that have caused the Great Jin to lose face? If he had readily admitted his mistake like the Western Region princess did earlier, perhaps he could have salvaged his image!"

Everyone agreed with what Chuanwen said, and the emperor sneered. The little girl seemed unreliable, but she was quite insightful. However, considering Chuanwen's clever nature, it wasn't surprising that she could think things through so clearly.

[But why does this guy have such extreme views on women? Did he suffer some kind of trauma?]

The emperor was also curious and sensed there was some juicy gossip. He glanced down at Zhang Guanjing, who was still rambling on about women's virtues and such. Although he found it annoying, he had no choice but to endure it in order to hear the juicy tale.

However, many young women around couldn't stand it anymore. They had been learning techniques from Chuanwen at the girls' school and had heard him describe a world of gender equality. Their thinking had changed a lot. Although they couldn't be as open-minded as Chuanwen said, they still found Zhang Guanjing's deliberate belittling disgusting.

Especially for a princess from the Western Regions who grew up in a barbaric land where women were not subject to many restrictions, she clenched her fists and held back, refraining from kicking the man again.

However, seeing that the Emperor of Jin did not call a halt, a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes. She had thought that Jin was a great and prosperous country, far more powerful than their own, and that she might actually find a suitable husband here. But now she felt that the men of Jin were nothing special. Although they were much more handsome than the men in their own country, she would rather marry someone from their country than marry someone with such a vile mind!

What they didn't know was that the emperor's silence was actually a eavesdropping conversation.

Oh, because Zhang Guanjing's mother is having an affair, nobody dares to hang out with him anymore. They say he has bad manners. Also, quite a few people used to want to marry him, but now not a single one dares to come knocking...

The emperor frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Zhang Chengjue. Wasn't Zhang Guanjing's mother the wife of this Zhang Aiqing?

In other words, his beloved minister Zhang was cuckolded?

The emperor's lips twitched, a deep regret creeping over him. Without Chuanwen by his side, he had missed out on countless delicious melons. At this moment, the emperor had clearly forgotten how Chuanwen had made his hands tremble with anger.

Sweat poured from Zhang Chengjue's forehead. Looking at his dim-witted son who was still spitting everywhere, he had already figured out how to beat him to death when they got home!

[Hahaha! Mrs. Zhang is amazing! She's keeping five lovers outside, each more beautiful and charming than the last, far superior to Zhang Chengjue! Most importantly, they're clean; they shower and smell wonderful every day. If I were Mrs. Zhang, I wouldn't want to come home to Old Zhang, who reeks of poison when he takes off his shoes, hahaha!]
