Chapter 262
His posture was not arrogant, but rather somewhat humble, which surprised Shen Qingnian.
The goddess's attire was a red dress, but it didn't make her look delicate at all; instead, she exuded a heroic and spirited aura. It was quite rare to see someone use such a demeanor to seduce men.
Shen Qingnian asked, "Is the goddess waiting for someone?"
She asked the question directly because she knew the man would be on her side, so she felt there was no need to be hypocritical.
Upon hearing this, the goddess nodded readily, seemingly not finding anything amiss. She simply said, "Yes, I am waiting for His Majesty here. His Majesty has not been willing to see me these past few days, so I thought I would come here to wait for him."
As a citizen of Chongmeng, having been sent to Daxuan, she felt she had to do her part for Chongmeng.
Seeing that the goddess was even more direct than herself, Shen Qingnian became somewhat interested: "Does the goddess know why His Majesty does not see you?"
The goddess shook her head honestly, her brows furrowed, her expression resolute.
How could she know? She could never fathom a man's thoughts, especially that man's.
That person could have easily escaped capture, yet he willingly allowed himself to be taken prisoner...
Shen Qingnian's gaze swept over the blue sachet at the goddess's waist, and she asked again, "I haven't asked the goddess's name yet."
The goddess was surprised by the quick change of topic, but she still answered, "My name is Xia Qianjun."
“A feather can balance a thousand pounds; the key to balance lies in the weight. It’s a good name,” Shen Qingnian said with a smile.
The name is quite interesting.
Xia Qianjun's eyes lit up, and he agreed: "My father gave me this name, and I like it very much."
People say her name sounds like a man's and lacks the gentleness of a woman, but she doesn't think so. Who says a woman has to be delicate and gentle?
Shen Qingnian glanced at the sky and smiled, "His Majesty will be here soon, I'll head back now."
"Alright, thank you for your guidance, Miss Liu. I will pay you a visit another day to express my gratitude!" Xia Qianjun smiled broadly, looking more like a valiant female general than a goddess.
This is her true self.
Shen Qingnian nodded and returned the smile.
Inside the Golden Palace.
Zhu Lan took the two little ones to wash their hands and change their clothes, while Shen Qingnian also washed her hands with Xiao Ju's help.
Xiaoju wrung out her handkerchief, somewhat puzzled. "Miss, why did you come back without doing anything?"
Shen Qingnian took the handkerchief: "That Miss Xia's heart is not with His Majesty."
Not only is he not here, but he probably has someone else in his heart.
"Even though she's not here, she did admit she was going to block His Majesty. What if..." Xiaoju was still a little worried.
Shen Qingnian looked at Xiaoju and shook her head: "If His Majesty can take the bait, then he will not only be ashamed of his friendship with me, but also of his position as the Emperor of Daxuan."
If someone can't see through something so obvious, what else could they be but a tyrant?
No sooner had these words been spoken than a man's slightly cold voice rang out from the palace gate: "Shen Qingnian, how dare you call me a tyrant!"
Song Xuan, dressed in a black dragon robe, strode in. His face was cold and gloomy, as if he was about to explode in anger.
Xiaoju was so frightened that she dropped her handkerchief, and her legs went weak, causing her to kneel on the ground.
The young lady just now uttered such treasonous words, which are punishable by death!
[Song Xuan: I'm so angry! I just got here and I heard my wife talking bad about me!]
