Liu Piaopiao immediately begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I can't beat you, let's talk this out, please help me!"
After changing her approach, Liu Piaopiao clasped her hands together in front of her chest and pitifully begged Shen Jiaojiao for mercy.
You know what, Liu Piaopiao is really pretty. She's the kind of sickly beauty who looks at you with a pale purple gauze dress and soft, gentle eyes. It's hard to resist such a beautiful woman.
Shen Jiaojiao had a rare experience of male pleasure.
Seeing that he was begging for mercy, I got serious and said, "Alright, be serious and tell me what happened."
Seeing that there was a chance, Liu Piaopiao also put away her pitiful face and instantly became a serious person: "I just said that Consort Liu wants me to get married."
“Back then, Consort Liu traveled a long distance to send a message saying that her family should send someone over to be betrothed to the Second Prince.”
"I was forced into this situation. I didn't want to marry him in the first place. I wanted to pretend that I was unwell, but the royal family would definitely not approve."
"I didn't expect the Second Prince to be granted the title of King and get married so soon, which saves me the trouble of taking action."
"But Consort Liu probably felt guilty seeing that I had come from so far away, and actually wanted to bestow a marriage upon me. You know my situation, how could I possibly get married!"
Liu Piaopiao slammed her hand on the table in a huff, she was absolutely furious.
He finally managed to leave that suffocating place in Jiangnan.
I didn't expect the capital city to be so easy to stay in.
Shen Jiaojiao found it amusing: "Hey, who told you to be a woman now? A woman should marry when she comes of age, and you're so beautiful. You should be grateful for the arranged marriage!"
Liu Piaopiao got angry again, slamming her fist on the table like an angry puppy: "No! I don't want to get married! You have to help me, please!"
He discovered that this person responded better to gentleness than force; as long as he pretended to be pitiful and begged her, her attitude would be much better!
I'm so clever! I figured out how to get a woman under my thumb right away! Hehe.
Shen Jiaojiao was indeed a little infatuated, and a protective instinct came over her: "Who does she plan to marry you off to? Tell me, and I'll see if I can do anything about it."
Seeing that the method was effective, Liu Piaopiao looked at Shen Jiaojiao knowingly: "Oh, that Consort Liu said she found me a good place. Physician Wu's son is named Wu Feng. Do you know him?"
"According to Consort Liu, Wu Feng's family is incredibly wealthy, and his father is an imperial physician. If I ever fall ill, I can go to his father for treatment."
"He's the only one in the family. If I go there, I'll be his wife. My aunt will take care of me in the palace, so I won't have to worry about the future."
Shen Jiaojiao racked her brains but couldn't find any memories of Wu Feng. Judging from what she said, his family was quite well-off.
"Sigh, these conditions sound pretty good to me. It's a pity you're a man, otherwise it would be great."
"What's so good about that! Quickly think of a solution." Liu Piaopiao was genuinely afraid that his aunt would issue a decree directly, which would make things difficult.
Shen Jiaojiao remained calm. Since it had nothing to do with her, she wasn't worried at all and was even somewhat happy to watch the drama unfold.
"How about we find an opportunity to meet Wu Feng?"
Liu Piaopiao immediately objected: "No way! I'm so beautiful, what if he takes a fancy to me and insists on marrying me!"
"Pfft! Hahaha, you're so shameless!"
"Hmph! I'm just telling the truth. I'm not bragging, but back in the day in Jiangnan, the men who chased me lined up from the south of the city to the north!" Liu Piaopiao boasted proudly.
"Oh my! You're so capable! If he takes a liking to you, you can just marry him. He'll take good care of you and feed you. Isn't that great?" Shen Jiaojiao couldn't stand his smugness and teased him.
"No, I refuse. I want to be beautiful on my own." A decisive refusal.
"Alright, enough joking around. Go back and find out where Wu Feng usually goes. We'll sneak around and see what kind of person he is. I'll also ask him about his family's reputation. We'll split up and come find me tomorrow morning."
Shen Jiaojiao efficiently arranged the tasks for the two of them, and Liu Piaopiao felt much more at ease after hearing it.
Having a direction made me feel at ease: "Okay, I'll go now. I'll go find out right away and come back to you tomorrow. Remember to ask around for me too. I'm off!"
After saying that, Liu Piaopiao left in a hurry.
Shen Jiaojiao watched the departing figure and chuckled softly.
When Chunhua brought over the pastries she had made, she was the only one left in the hall.
"Great! The bad people are finally gone." Chunhua smiled slightly. "Your Majesty, here are some flower cakes I just made. Please try them."
A plate of delicate pastries was served, pale pink and shaped like flowers, very pretty. Chunhua also cleverly paired it with a pot of honey water.
"Chunhua, you have such skillful hands! What are you making this with? It's so beautiful." Shen Jiaojiao carefully picked up a piece of pastry.
Chunhua was overjoyed, her heart filled with delight at the affirmation of her work: "Your Majesty, this is…"
"Ah!!! Shen Jiaojiao...come out quickly!!!"
A series of hurried footsteps approached. Shen Jiaojiao, who was still drinking water, was startled and spat out the tea in her mouth.
"Cough cough cough!!!"
Chunhua quickly patted her back: "Your Highness, slow down."
Seriously! What kind of person is that!
She wanted to curse this ill-mannered person so badly that he couldn't even eat hot shit!
"Ah!!! Come out now!!!"
Finally catching her breath, Shen Jiaojiao walked out of the hall.
Suddenly, Liu Piaopiao swept over like a purple whirlwind, grabbed her, turned around, and ran away, shouting, "Hurry up! Come with me!"
"What are you going to do?" Shen Jiaojiao was forced to run after her.
"Your Highness! Your Highness, wait for me! Someone! Quickly follow the Crown Princess!" Chunhua realized what was happening and hurriedly called for help.
It's that Liu Piaopiao again. Nothing good ever comes of her when she's around. We can't let the Empress be bullied.
People nearby heard Chunhua's shouts and quickly ran over, chasing after her.
Liu Piaopiao was already tall, and he took long strides, so Shen Jiaojiao's legs almost flew as she followed behind him.
"Liu Piaopiao! Slow down! I can't go on anymore, I'm so tired."
Liu Piaopiao's anger was unstoppable.
He had just run out the door, hoping to get rid of this time bomb as soon as possible.
As luck would have it, I ran into a man right after leaving the Crown Prince's residence.
The man was about 1.75 meters tall, with red lips and white teeth, a baby face, a bit of baby fat, and two dimples when he smiled. He was dressed in jeweled jewelry.
Liu Piaopiao had only glanced at it before leaving, but the other person called her back.
Hey! You up ahead!
Liu Piaopiao continued walking, ignoring her.
"Are you deaf? That woman in purple!"
Liu Piaopiao glanced down at herself, ignored her, and continued walking.
"You, Liu Piaopiao, are pretending to be blind! There's a grown man right in front of you, can't you see me?"
Liu Piaopiao stopped and turned around.
