"Mengyao, the competition is about to start, you should go back first." Shen Yu was uneasy, really worried that her friend would talk nonsense again.
If she had known, she would never have befriended this idiot.
Fortunately, after Shen Yu's silent pleas and requests, Sun Mengyao finally realized what was happening.
Are princesses so amazing?
She is still the favored legitimate daughter of the family, and she is always flattered both at home and outside. Why would anyone want her to apologize?
Keep dreaming.
However, Sun Mengyao didn't linger any longer. She said some insincere but not very pleasant words and then left.
"Ninth Princess, Mengyao is rather impulsive, please don't take it to heart." As soon as Sun Mengyao left, Shen Yu couldn't wait to curry favor with Murong You.
Murong You didn't bother to look at her and said disdainfully, "Her words may be harsh, but they are all from the heart, unlike you, whose words are nice but every word is insincere."
Shen Yu's face stiffened, and her eyes immediately reddened. Just as she was about to explain, a gentle voice came from behind her.
"Xiao Jiu, how could you bully a new friend?"
Murong You, still looking displeased, said when she saw the newcomer: "First of all, I didn't bully her. Secondly, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be my friend."
She couldn't stand the habit of women crying at the drop of a hat. Her eyes were filled with eyeballs, not water bubbles. This woman surnamed Shen was just being pretentious.
After saying that, she slipped away to the other side to get some fresh air.
Murong Chen shook his head helplessly, but instead of scolding his younger sister, he turned around and gently comforted Chenyu.
"Little Jiu has been spoiled by me. The musician Cai Qin has praised you highly. You must perform well and not disappoint me."
"Yu'er knows." Shen Yu pursed her lips, stubbornly holding back her tears, as if she had unspeakable suffering.
Like a pure and delicate white flower, it is pretentious, yet has a unique charm.
Murong Chen's eyes suddenly darkened.
...
The emperor and empress's private pavilion was built on a high platform, about four meters high. The path from the entrance to the pavilion was not far, but it was not close either.
Whether it was because she was wearing an elaborate palace dress, or because she was nervous or something else, Shen Jiao walked very slowly.
She wanted to walk briskly, but she just couldn't walk fast.
A soft laugh suddenly sounded behind me, like a clear and proud sound flowing slowly from the top of a snow-capped mountain, it was too beautiful to hear.
Shen Jiao was secretly annoyed. How dare this person laugh at her?
The culprit who pushed her into such an awkward and embarrassing situation actually has the nerve to laugh?
Enraged and humiliated, Shen Jiao channeled her grief and indignation into strength, and began to move with incredible speed.
As expected, the person behind him seemed to have had their funny bone tickled, and not only did they laugh even more unrestrainedly, but they also couldn't stop laughing.
Shen Jiao mentally told herself twice, "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, just barking like a dog."
Perhaps she was too focused on her hints, and before she knew it, she had stepped on the hem of her skirt. Shen Jiao knew something was wrong.
Just as she was about to fall flat on her face, Ji Yan suddenly tightened her grip around her waist and pulled her back firmly.
In the blink of an eye, the movement was not significant, and no one knew what had happened, but the two were now embracing each other.
The three-year-old child at the scene covered his eyes in embarrassment.
Do not look at what is improper.
Do not look at what is improper.
Once they reached the pavilion, Ji Yan pulled Shen Jiao to sit down. "What's the rush? I'll always be behind you. Who dares to urge you?"
Shen Jiao snorted, "It's clearly you who laughed at me that made me anxious."
Ji Yan said, "I felt an instant joy upon seeing you. Even from behind, I couldn't stop smiling. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
This reason was utterly ridiculous and farcical, yet it pleased her greatly. After all, could a tyrant possibly say something sensible like "we should cherish what we have"?
Sure enough, Ji Yan's next sentence after her sweet words was: "Even if you crawl slowly like a little turtle, taking ten or eight years, I am willing to cover your retreat."
Shen Jiao: "..."
One minute it's a hamster, the next it's a hamster with its fur standing on end, and now it's turned into a tortoise that's been around for ages.
Shen Jiao frowned: "Can't I be a person?"
Ji Yan shrugged: "Of course you're a person."
Shen Jiao asked, "Then why do you always call me a hamster?"
This problem had been bothering her for a long time.
Even Shen Qingfeng thought she was a Bodhisattva, so how come the tyrant always treated her like a hamster? That doesn't make sense!
Ji Yan thought for a moment and said, "Everyone says that I am a cold-blooded and ruthless snake. Snakes are supposed to eat rats, but I keep you and am reluctant to swallow you. What does that mean?"
Shen Jiao blurted out, "That just means you're picky."
"..." Ji Yan said, "No, it means that I like you even though it's against my nature."
Shen Jiao: "..."
She suspected the person was talking nonsense, but she had no proof.
...
This year's Four Flowers Banquet was held in Dayan. As the host, the tyrant should have gone on stage and given some boring, bureaucratic speeches, just like the school leaders.
But Ji Yan was unwilling to waste his breath, and no one dared to force him, so the matter fell to Shen Jiao.
Yes, after helping someone review memorials, she expanded her business to include helping him spout nonsense.
On the surface, Shen Jiao read aloud the cheat sheet that Wang Fu had prepared in advance with great emotion, but in her heart she was cursing Ji Yan over and over again. She was too lazy to even speak and thought he should just die of laziness!
Princess Lazy Pig listened attentively and clapped her hands twice in support: "Your Majesty spoke so well, please tell it again!"
Shen Jiao silently shot her a sharp look.
Princess Lazy Pig smiled and continued clapping: "Your Majesty's explanation is wonderful, please tell it again!"
Wang Fu wrote three pages of fluent and elegant writing. She was so engrossed in her speech that her throat was parched, and they even wanted her to repeat herself.
Say another word and you're out of luck.
It's easy for someone who's not in the situation to talk.
Shen Jiao secretly raised her fist to intimidate Ji Yan, an unpredictable factor, but she didn't expect Wang Fu to be such a sycophant.
