Strangely, even though the heavy snow obscured the view, Shen Ye could still see this man so clearly, and so dreamlike. It was as if he had stepped out of a painting, so handsome that it seemed unreal, and so domineering, as if he had descended upon this noisy world.
"Your Highness, she's going to hit me!" Yu Niannian said happily as she ran over and took his arm after recognizing the man as the womanizer Gu Qimu.
Gu Qimu ignored her, staring intently at Shen Ye with a blank expression on his handsome face. He coldly said, "The daughter of the Left Prime Minister is truly well-mannered, daring to bully people in my Crown Prince's residence."
Hearing Gu Qimu speak up for her, Yu Niannian glanced at Shen Ye, making no attempt to hide her contempt, "Isn't it just because she has a father who is the Left Prime Minister that she dares to disregard His Highness like this?"
Shen Ye curled his lip and smiled faintly at Niannian, "Yes, I have a father who is the Left Prime Minister, but what about you? What do you have? You wouldn't happen to be that foxtail grass that came to life in my family's outhouse twenty years ago, would you? No wonder you smell so bad!"
"Everyone has no choice in their birth, but their upbringing and character are things that can be determined."
"Yes, Your Highness is right. Then I will not disturb Your Highness any longer." The implication was that they were about to start something indescribable before it even got dark. He really was a womanizer, and the kind with terrible taste.
These words were extremely grating to Gu Qimu's ears. Damn woman, how dare she mock him with her words? She must be tired of living.
As Shen Ye passed by Yu Niannian, he suddenly said lightly, "You'd better hold on tight to this big tree, otherwise if you fall from a height one day, no one will care about you." Shen Ye smiled, his smile like a poppy, both beautiful and poisonous.
His voice was so low that only Yu Niannian could hear it.
Her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly as she watched the departing figure, wanting to grab her and slap her a few times, but with the Crown Prince present, she had no choice but to give up.
You should know that Yu Niannian is a gentle, understanding and lovely person in front of Gu Qimu.
After Shen Ye left, Yu Niannian couldn't wait to pull Gu Qimu into the house, but he refused, saying, "I have important matters to attend to. I'll come see you after I'm done."
Her voice was as gentle as water, so sweet it was almost intoxicating, and her smile was as warm as a spring breeze.
As he turned around, the smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a sinister look. No one could guess what he was thinking.
On the way back to Yujing Pavilion, many servants gossiped about Shen Ye, saying that he was a young lady who had not yet married, but the Crown Prince had taken her back without giving her a title, clearly intending to embarrass the Left Prime Minister.
At this moment, Shen Ye suddenly remembered her hidden mission: to become the empress!
To become empress, one must take it one step at a time. The first thing to do is to secure a title in the Crown Prince's residence, and only then can one slowly climb to the top.
Palace intrigue is the most troublesome thing, but the thought of a grown man fighting against a group of women is kind of exciting.
"Miss Shen, they've gone too far," Qiu Ci said, indignant on Shen Ye's behalf.
"They have mouths on their bodies, let them say whatever they want, just ignore them."
Qiu Ci wanted to say something more, but seeing Shen Ye's indifferent expression, she couldn't say anything, because she knew it would be useless.
