Chapter 41 Si Jinye【6】
In this novel's world, Si Jinye, though also a person of great fortune, is more like a villain.
Of course, this is from the perspective of the novel's female protagonist, Shen Jingya, and the male protagonist, Si Jinxuan.
In Achu's eyes, he was also a pitiful little thing.
He was made crown prince at birth, but at the age of eight, he was sent to the Kingdom of Garo as a hostage.
How easy can life be for a proton?
Si Jinye suffered all kinds of bullying in the Kingdom of Garo, and was even used as a test subject by the princess of Garo, who liked to study all kinds of poisons.
This also caused Si Jinye to suffer from splitting headaches and tinnitus ever since, making it difficult for him to eat or sleep.
At the age of fifteen, Si Jinye returned to Jinghua Kingdom.
At the age of sixteen, he led troops into battle and won many victories.
At the age of eighteen, he destroyed the Kingdom of Garo and expanded the territory of the Kingdom of Jinghua.
For the next three years, Si Jinye remained on the battlefield, a fearsome and intimidating figure.
Until a year ago, Si Jinye was nearly killed when he was pierced through the chest by a crossbow bolt.
Although he survived by sheer luck, recuperating his health will take time.
So the emperor forcibly summoned Si Jinye back to the capital and ordered him to recover his health.
However, after Si Jinye returned to the capital, his reputation only worsened.
He is emotionally unstable and easily angered.
If anyone crosses him, he won't care who you are or who your father is; he'll just draw his knife and kill you.
On one occasion, Si Jinye was riding a horse when a frail and beautiful woman collapsed in the street, blocking his way.
Someone else might have dismounted to help.
However, Si Jinye rode his horse directly over the woman, who immediately vomited blood and died.
No one knew that the woman was an assassin.
The people only saw Si Jinye ride his horse and trample an 'innocent' person to death without blinking.
From then on, his reputation for cruelty spread.
As a result, despite his numerous military achievements, Si Jinye was not popular with the people.
Whether they were ordinary citizens or the families of officials in the court, everyone who heard of Si Jin's death changed their expressions.
On the night before the Spring Banquet, Achu summoned the system again.
[System, is my cheat system ready?]
System: [Host, please rest assured, the cheat system is ready.]
Achu smiled contentedly, her eyes full of anticipation for tomorrow.
In the previous world, she accompanied Wen Zhiyu to his death.
She had already won Wen Zhiyu's favor on their wedding day.
Wen Zeyu's favorability rating had somehow reached its maximum.
It's probably because after he lost his sight, he spent his days and nights reminiscing about those times.
However, Wen Zhiyu's favorability points are exchanged for more, which A Chu guesses might be because it is more genuine.
However, the points earned by exchanging favorability with Wen Zeyu are much lower.
Before arriving in this world, in addition to receiving the plot and the original owner's memories in advance, Achu also saw the points mall.
In other words, she can use her points to exchange for things she might need in the next mission world.
Knowing Si Jinye's physical condition, A Chu looked around and bought a cheat item.
Whenever Si Jinye gets close to her, his headaches and tinnitus miraculously disappear, and his health improves.
In this way, Achu will have more opportunities to spend time with her target and can also take care of his health, thus avoiding an early death.
Ah Chu really wanted to test if this cheat code would work, which is why she was so looking forward to tomorrow.
She went to bed early, ready to get some beauty sleep.
Meanwhile, in the Yalan Garden on the other side, Shen Jingya couldn't sleep.
She is choosing what to wear tomorrow.
She would naturally attend the spring banquet hosted by Princess Pingyang.
Rong had already told her about it the day before yesterday.
Not only does Rong want to take her, but she also wants to take Achu with her!
This was the first time that Achu had been taken out in public by Rong Shi after becoming the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family.
In the past, Rong would take her daughters of marriageable age to banquets, just to find a match.
After Shen Jingtan came of age, Rong Shi also suggested taking her to a banquet.
But Madam Meng was afraid that she would be taken a liking to some lady or young master, so she forbade her to go.
Therefore, Shen Jingtan has never shown her face in public.
But this time, she will appear as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyi.
Shen Jingya was very afraid of being outshone by her.
If it were the same timid and quiet Tan who never dared to look people in the eye and whose voice was barely audible, she certainly wouldn't be afraid.
But these days, Shen Jingya has clearly seen changes in her sixth sister.
She dared to look up at people now, although her expression was still somewhat timid and shrinking.
Her voice was still not loud, but it was soft and gentle, delicate and soft.
Coupled with her exquisite and stunningly beautiful appearance that is so captivating that it's impossible to look away, she only makes people feel that she is pitiful and lovable.
Standard green tea!
Every time Shen Jingya saw A Chu, she couldn't help but think that if this appearance were in the modern entertainment industry, he would definitely be at the top level.
She was worried that if she stood next to Achu, she would be overshadowed.
Therefore, Shen Jingya felt a lot of pressure.
What if Si Jinxuan sees A Chu and is also captivated by her beauty?
What should she do so that she doesn't become just a supporting character to the peony?
.
The next day, the weather was fine.
Achu woke up from a sweet dream, feeling refreshed and full of energy.
She looked quite well these past two days; her face had a rosy glow, and her lips had gained some color.
Xiao Liu and several other maids helped A Chu get up, wash, and then dress up.
Achu's clothes are all newly made, made of the finest fabrics, and have novel designs.
She chose an outfit with colors that weren't too bright or flashy.
A light green round-neck short-sleeved shirt, paired with a lotus-pink cross-leg skirt and a shawl in the same color as the skirt.
She wore a pearl necklace, which made her skin look even more like porcelain and her neck even longer.
Her face was lightly powdered, her eyebrows were lightly drawn, and a pearl between her brows added a touch of brightness.
She was also wearing pearl earrings.
The maidservant styled Achu's hair into a drooping bun, adorned with a gold hairpin inlaid with pearls, and a crabapple blossom carved from pink jade.
Just then, Madam Rong came over to check if she had finished dressing.
Achu stood up from in front of the bronze mirror and turned to look at Rong Shi.
"Mother, is it okay for me to dress like this? Will it look strange?"
She looked at Rong Shi with some nervousness and unease, after all, it was her first time going out to attend such a banquet.
Rong's eyes lit up when she saw Achu.
The room had windows open, providing excellent natural light.
Just then, a ray of sunlight shone in through the window and fell on Achu.
At that moment, Rong felt as if she were seeing a begonia fairy who had mistakenly fallen to the mortal world, so beautiful that it seemed unreal!
Rong smiled and walked towards Achu.
"Tan'er looks absolutely gorgeous today! This outfit suits you perfectly!"
Madam Rong took Achu's hand and said, "Tan'er is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!"
The thought that her stunning daughter's appearance at the Spring Banquet would surely attract attention filled Rong with both pride and worry.
My daughter is too timid. What if she gets bullied?
"Your mother has already instructed your fifth sister to take good care of you at the banquet, so you should stay close to your fifth sister today."
"If there's anything you can't handle, just send someone to call your mother. Don't be afraid in the face of trouble, your mother is here for you."
Hearing Rong's words, Achu nodded obediently: "I understand, Mother."
Rong smiled and took her hand, saying, "Let's go, the carriage is ready."
Achu walked out with Rongshi, followed by the maids and servants.
When they arrived at the front gate, they did not see Shen Jingya.
Madam Rong asked Granny Lin, "Where is Fifth Miss? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"
Just as Granny Lin was about to send someone to look, Shen Jingya arrived.
When Rong saw Chen Jingya's elegant attire, her eyes lit up.
Today, Shen Jingya wore a pomegranate red halter-neck dress and an exquisite gold necklace.
She wore a gold hairpin and a red silk pomegranate flower.
Her face was adorned with heavy makeup, with bold eye makeup and blush on her cheeks, which added a lot of brightness to her otherwise plain appearance.
If we say that Achu's beauty today is just right, like a crabapple blossom under a light rain.
That serene elegance is like a bright and dazzling red pomegranate flower.
Since Shen Jingya usually liked such bright colors, Rong Shi didn't think much of it.
She's come to terms with it these past few days; after all, she raised Shen Jingya, and there's an emotional bond between them.
In addition, she is the future wife of the fifth prince.
Like the Crown Prince...
So no matter what, it's better to be closer to Shen Jingya than to be distant from her.
In the future, her daughter might also need the care of a quiet and gentle person.
So when she saw Shen Jingya approaching, Rong Shi showed the same gentle and loving smile as always.
Shen Jingya first called out "Mother" lightly.
Then she looked at Achu, hiding her jealousy and sense of crisis, and showed a look of utter amazement.
"Wow! Sixth Sister looks so beautiful today! Like a flower fairy!"
Ah Chu lowered her eyes, seemingly a little embarrassed by the praise, and spoke softly:
"Fifth Sister is like a flower fairy today, so beautiful that no one can take their eyes off her."
Shen Jingya put a lot of effort into her outfit today.
In addition, although Achu's outfit today was exquisite, it was also understated.
In this way, Shen Jingya wouldn't worry about being overlooked or outshone when the two of them stood together.
Listening to Achu and Shen Jingya praising each other, Rong Shi laughed from the side, "You two sisters are both flower fairies! You're both beautiful!"
Shen Jingya walked over and hugged Rong's arm affectionately.
Rong looked at her with affection, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed Achu's envious gaze, and her smile faltered.
"Alright, hurry up and get in the carriage, lest we be the last ones to arrive."
After saying that, Rong invited Achu to get into the car with her.
The mother and her two daughters boarded the carriage.
