Everyone says that His Highness Prince An is extremely handsome, but now that I've seen the Emperor up close, I realize that the Emperor's appearance is in no way inferior to Prince An's. He has the bearing of a dragon and the grace of a phoenix, and is handsome and dashing.
He was gentle, courteous, and a king; truly a gentleman of unparalleled elegance and refinement.
If they could marry the emperor, even if they weren't empresses, they would be willing to become concubines or consorts.
But when they thought about the way the Emperor looked at "Lu Xiaoyun" and how he protected her, and how Prince An spoke to her so gently, they were filled with hatred.
Lu Xiaoyun, this woman, why is her life so good!
The young ladies exchanged glances, then turned their venomous gazes toward "Lu Xiaoyun," their hatred barely concealed.
Zhu Yu didn't care. He was staring at the jade bracelet, secretly accumulating points. Wow, he had gained another 150 points, making it 3,700 points now.
Keep up the good work, I believe in you!
He then gave them a sly smile, which made the ladies so angry they almost fell over.
But thinking that it wouldn't be good if the Emperor and Prince An saw them like this, they quickly composed themselves.
Lu Jinmi returned, and she glanced at the eldest princess without making a sound.
She thought she had hidden it well, but little did she know that Zhu Yu had already seen through her.
The Third Princess ordered fruit and tea to be served and began reciting poems, but Zhu Yu had absolutely no interest in it.
"Since Princess Zhenguo comes from the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, she must be proficient in all the arts, such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She should also be able to compose poetry. How about we ask Princess Zhenguo to compose a poem on the theme of plum blossoms?"
Zhu Yu glanced at the eldest princess sideways: "Not interested."
The eldest princess was rebuffed again and angrily shouted, "Lu Xiaoyun, don't push your luck!"
A young lady smiled and said, "Princess, it's not that she's not interested, it's just that she wouldn't know how, right? She's afraid of making a fool of herself."
"Yes, I can't, so you're very good at it? Why don't you compose one?"
Lu Jinmi walked over and poured Zhu Yu a glass of wine: "Elder sister, Miss Zhao is a woman of great talent in poetry and literature, so you shouldn't try to outshine her."
"Did I fight with her? Which eye of yours saw that?"
Lu Jinmi tilted the wine pot slightly and poured it towards Zhu Yu.
Just as the wine was about to spill all over him, Zhu Yu nimbly moved to the side, and a folding fan appeared in his hand without his knowledge. With a gentle flick, he blocked the spill, and the wine spilled onto Lu Jinmi himself.
"Oh dear, elder sister, I only told you not to argue with Miss Zhao, why did you spill the wine? I didn't do anything wrong. Quick, someone come here, help Princess Zhenguo to change her clothes."
Zhu Yu looked at Lu Jinmi: "Are you blind?"
"What is the older sister saying?"
Zhu Yu pointed to her clothes: "Why don't you look down and see whose clothes are wet?"
The eldest princess was furious, her face turning ashen. This Lu Jinmi was utterly incompetent; no wonder she couldn't defeat Lu Xiaoyun. If Fang Shi were still alive, she wouldn't have chosen such a fool. She wondered if she was even Fang Shi's biological daughter; how could she be so stupid?
Lu Jinmi's face paled, and she subconsciously looked at the eldest princess, only to be glared at and turned away by the princess.
"Big sister, how could you splash water all over me?"
"So, do you want me to go with you to change?" Zhu Yu asked "kindly."
Lu Jinmi's eyes lit up, feeling that there was still a chance to make amends. As long as she dragged the person into that room and then immediately closed the door, she would not have messed up the task that the eldest princess had entrusted to her.
Although she didn't drink the alcohol, there was aphrodisiac incense burning in the room...
"Okay, okay, then let's go quickly, big sister."
Zhu Yu couldn't help but twitch his lips. So, the insidious level of Fang Shi's meticulous planning and execution of Lu Xiaoyun's mother and two maids, which went unnoticed for nearly twenty years, was not inherited by her at all.
Zhu Yu stood up with Lu Jinmi, and Li Feng hurriedly said, "Miss, let me go with you."
Before Zhu Yu could speak, Lu Jinmi stopped him, smiling very kindly, "No need, with me here, what do you have to worry about?"
Li Feng muttered to himself, "It's you I'm worried about."
Zhu Yu nodded to Qi Yu.
Qi Yu pulled Li Feng back: "Miss is accompanying the Second Miss to change clothes, we don't need to follow."
Li Feng blinked, puffed out her cheeks, and reluctantly said, "Oh."
Zhu Yu took the clothes from Lu Jinmi's maid: "You don't need to follow me. Give me the clothes."
The maid looked at Lu Jinmi with concern.
Lu Jinmi was determined to get this done. Seeing the eldest princess looking at her with an icy expression, she quickly said, "None of you need to follow me. Eldest sister, you'll come over after I change my clothes."
Zhu Yu followed Lu Jinmi toward the back room.
There was no one along the way. There were many guests today, and the eldest princess had already sent everyone away in advance.
Upon reaching the door of the side room, Lu Jinmi stopped and pushed it open: "Big sister..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yu kicked him into the house and slammed the door shut behind him.
"Ah!" Lu Jinmi fell face-first into the house.
The room was filled with aphrodisiac incense. Terrified, she pounded on the door desperately, shouting, "Hey, Lu Xiaoyun, let me out! Let me out!"
She tried to pull the door open, but her strength was no match for Zhu Yu's.
The person on the bed slowly woke up. His round, fat body was drooling, and his eyes were glazed over. He desperately pulled open his collar, saying, "It's hot, so hot."
That's clearly a mentally challenged child!
"Oh, Yun'er is so hot." Xie Yun, the youngest son of Xie Jijiu, has been mentally challenged since birth.
All it does all day is eat; it can't even take care of its own bodily functions.
She's already twenty-three, and no one is willing to marry such a fool.
After Xie Xinru was murdered by the Third Prince Zhu Chen, the Xie family and the Third Prince's residence completely broke off relations, and the Xie family actually escaped being implicated.
The Xie family and the Princess's residence have always disliked each other. Given this opportunity, the Princess is determined to damage the Xie family's reputation.
So they tricked Xie Yun into coming.
Xie Yun tore off his outer garment and then went to tear off his inner garment. A fire was burning fiercely inside him, and he was extremely uncomfortable.
"Let me out, Lu Xiaoyun, no, big sister, please, let me out!" Lu Jinmi cried out in fear, pounding on the door desperately.
With everyone else gone, no one came to this secluded room. Zhu Yu pushed the person inside, listened to the noise for a while, then patted his behind and left.
But at this moment, the aphrodisiac began to take effect, and her strength gradually dissipated.
If Lu Jinmi were conscious at this moment, the door would open with just a gentle pull. Unfortunately, her consciousness began to waver, and she unconsciously started to pull at her clothes.
Xie Yun saw the woman in front of him, and his instincts told him that if he just pressed this woman down and inserted himself into her body, the fire in his body would be extinguished and he wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.
Xie Yun pounced on Lu Jinmi, his large body pinning the petite Lu Jinmi down, leaving her completely powerless to resist.
Before long, Lu Jinmi's clothes were all torn to shreds.
