Chapter 95 Not Interested in Women
On the other side of the bridge, Su Haitang took in everyone's reactions and snorted in disdain.
This was a better reaction than she had expected.
She must remove all the negative labels on her today.
The Winter Banquet is a good opportunity for her to turn things around.
From then on, these people looked at her with only envy, admiration, and infatuation.
She straightened her back, walked straight to the center of the field, and found a quiet corner to sit down.
Looking at the jealous eyes of those noble ladies, Su Haitang felt even happier.
She turned her head to look at Xiao Jinmian, a hint of coldness flashing in the depths of her eyes.
The plan failed at the Duke's Mansion before. I don't know how this stupid princess managed to escape. She even fell into the water and stayed at home for more than ten days.
It doesn’t matter. She will get back what she has suffered today.
I heard that the most talented woman in Yun Kingdom is the cousin of that stupid princess, and that stupid princess has a very good relationship with her cousin.
So today she will take action against this most talented woman.
"Qingyi, did you see that? Su Haitang actually looked at me so provocatively. Stop me! I can't control my hand and want to slap her."
In the past, how could a princess tolerate such humiliation? If someone provoked her, she would fight back on the spot. But now, after what happened at the Duke's Mansion last time, and Shen Qingyi's repeated warnings just now, she was told not to be impulsive.
She suppressed her temper.
This woman must be evil.
Otherwise, when he was at the Duke's Mansion, he wouldn't have known her plan in advance and set up a trap for her.
Also, Qingyi has never been so strange before. She repeatedly warned me not to provoke Su Haitang.
"My dear princess, why are you looking at her? Why don't you look at me?"
After hearing what Xiao Jinmian said, Shen Qingyi took her hand and asked her to look at herself.
There can't be any complications today.
"She was provoking you so much, but she just appeared and everyone was obsessed with her beauty. Now everyone's eyes are still on her. If you go over to her, won't you cause everyone's dissatisfaction?"
"Everyone will say you're bullying and arrogant, and will all go to the Emperor to complain. If that happens, won't you fall right into her trap?"
Xiao Jinmian rubbed his back teeth.
I think Shen Qingyi is right.
She endured it!
Seeing that Xiao Jinmian wasn't looking at her and hadn't made any movement, Su Haitang curled her lips in disdain.
She was so provocative, but the princess didn't react?
When did the princess become so cowardly?
[Today, not only will the hero be here, but the emperor and the commander of the guard will also be here. The commander of the guard, General Lin, and Gu Heng, are the heroine's loyal lickspittles.]
Shen Yaoxing took a deep breath.
What?
The emperor is coming too?
Doesn’t the emperor never participate in such activities?
Could it be that the emperor's health has improved a lot recently and he has started to think about taking a concubine?
Chen Yaoxing raised his eyebrows. Yes, the harem has been empty for so many years, it’s time to fill it up.
[Ah, so people can't stand being talked about. Speak of the devil, and he shows up, the male lead and the supporting actor are here.]
Upon hearing this, Shen Yaoxing turned around and looked over.
There was a huge crowd of people on the bridge. Those walking in front were naturally the emperor and Prince Jin and his companions, followed by the guards and others.
Wei Yan and his group of young masters also came.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the Emperor and Prince Jin.
What.
No one told them that the emperor would also come to attend the winter banquet today.
In such an occasion, with the emperor sitting high above them, how could they relax and have fun?
Compared to the nervousness of the young men, the ladies couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
The emperor is not young anymore, but his harem is still empty. All the noble ladies in the capital are eyeing the position of the master of the harem.
Who doesn’t want to be the mother of a country respected by everyone?
Normally the emperor lives in the palace, and it is extremely difficult for them to see him. However, they did not expect that they would have the honor of seeing him today. It seems that they must perform their best today.
If I catch the emperor's eye, wouldn't it be a step to success?
The ladies hurriedly began to tidy up their hair and clothes, and when Xiao Jue came, they rushed forward and blocked the way, greeting and introducing themselves chatteringly.
Shen Qingyi was stunned by such a scene.
Why are these women so enthusiastic when they see the emperor?
Aren’t they afraid of the emperor?
"Qingyi, did you see that? Of all the women in the capital, you're the only one who acts like a mouse seeing a cat when you see your brother."
Xiao Jinmian narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Jue who was blocked by the noble ladies, and smiled faintly.
Shen Qingyi: "..."
It seems to be true!!!
She had always thought that the emperor was the king and everyone was afraid of him, but she didn't expect that she was the only one who was afraid of him.
On the other side, Su Haitang also raised an eyebrow and looked at the movement over there, a hint of suspicion flashed across his eyes.
emperor?
Xiao Jue?
Isn't that the protagonist's brother?
The book said that the emperor was young and handsome and never married until his death. She wanted to see what kind of person he was.
The protagonist's brother should be pretty good-looking, right?
Su Haitang stretched her neck to look, but because the distance was too far and the person was surrounded by many noble ladies, she could only see a blurry head. She sneered lightly and nonchalantly withdrew her gaze.
No rush, the emperor will definitely sit on the main stage soon, and she will have plenty of opportunities to see it.
Being stuck on the steps, Xiao Jue narrowed his eyes, a dark color flashed across his eyes, and he looked at the chattering ladies in front of him with a dark look.
He raised his hand slightly, and two guards stepped forward and drew the goose-wing knives from their waists.
"When the Emperor travels, anyone who stands in his way will be killed."
"Wow!"
The air suddenly became quiet. The ladies stared at the silver knife in the guard's hand, which was shining coldly. Their whole bodies began to tremble, and a hint of fear flashed across their eyes.
I don't know who came to his senses first, but he quickly moved aside and made way.
Seeing this, the others woke up as if from a dream and walked to both sides to make way.
Xiao Jue raised his pace and walked towards the main stage without looking around. The guards and several old men hurriedly followed.
The young men and ladies at the back looked at the ladies who were standing still with shame and embarrassment in mockery, with undisguised sneers on their lips.
It's really ridiculous that they are trying to flatter the emperor. They don't even think about it. If the emperor really wanted to take a concubine, why would the harem be empty until now?
In their opinion, the emperor either has a health problem or is not interested in women.
But these idiots are so ignorant, no wonder they are so embarrassed.
Noticing the mocking gazes of the crowd, the ladies felt even more ashamed, their faces flushed with anger, and they gritted their teeth, wishing they could gouge out the eyes of those who were laughing at them.
"Bah, don't you even look at yourself in the mirror? You just dream of rising to prominence all day long. Don't you even think about whether being the emperor is something a bunch of vulgar people like you can even dream of?"
Zhu Hezhi snorted disdainfully and humiliated the ladies mercilessly, causing the ladies to grit their teeth and glare at him, unable to resist wanting to scratch his face.
"Even if we are ordinary people, we are still better than you. We can't covet the emperor, but can you?"
"You're so nervous asking us to look in the mirror. Have you done it? If you had, you'd be too embarrassed to go out today, considering your appearance."
