Chapter 390 [Isn’t this bad?]
Sheng Yin waved her hands, still reluctant to part with these exceptionally well-behaved cats: "Got it, I'll be there in a quarter of an hour."
Jiang Lili heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Sheng Yin was leaving. She sent a message to Su Rui in the class group chat: [Mary Sue, are you ready? The second princess will be going to the front yard in a quarter of an hour.]
@Su Rui: Got it! I'm not nervous, I've seen far more dangerous situations than this. But I feel really awkward standing here! My hair and eye color are different from the other handsome guys, so they stand out.
Moreover, they also bullied me! I finally understood what palace fighting and family strife are all about!
@江麗麗: What's going on? Open the group video chat and let everyone help you out.
Su Rui opened the live broadcast room. He had already taken off his veil, but he quickly switched the camera to the rear camera. The students watching the live broadcast only saw a handsome exotic face flash by.
He was currently in the front yard of the Princess's Mansion, standing beside other candidates for the "beautiful man". They stood at a distance from Su Rui, as if isolating him, and were criticizing him.
"This guy has brown hair and gray eyes, and he's obviously from a foreign country. Does he really think that just because he looks special, the princess will fall in love with him?"
"Looks strange? I think it looks very strange. I can't even tell if it can speak our language."
Su Rui said angrily: [You have heard these sour words! They are just jealous of my handsome appearance! ]
@周居善 (Eunuch General Manager): Come watch Su Rui's talent show! He's being targeted from the start. This is the fate of being the protagonist!
Once something gets lively, you can see the whole class coming online very quickly.
@Hou Xiaoxiao (Princess of Jin): Not necessarily. According to the rules of classic palace dramas, he might be a supporting role, and then the righteous and kind protagonist will come out to speak up for Su Rui.
@Guan Yue (山匪一姐): This is my first time watching the men's talent show, and I'm a little excited. That tall, handsome guy in blue with his hair standing up is really good-looking, and he didn't join the others in being sarcastic towards Su Rui. I'm optimistic he'll make it!
@Wen Qiao (Navy Governor): I also think the one in blue is pretty good. He has long arms and legs, and seems like a good candidate for martial arts training. Why would he enter the talent show without thinking?
@Su Rui: Aren't you guys here to help me with my strategy? Why are you picking on handsome guys?
@Hou Xiaoxiao: Sorry, this is my first time choosing a male favorite. I'm so immersed in it, I feel like I'm about to ascend the throne and become empress.
Just as these young men participating in the selection were making sarcastic remarks about Su Rui, a sharp voice came: "The Prince Consort is here! Consort Xu is here! Consort Qin is here! Consort Liu is here!"
…
Everyone in the group chat counted and was shocked to find that the eunuch who called out had reported the names of fifteen male favorites in total.
@Yan Chaoyue (Grassland Khan): Oh my god, if you didn't know what was going on, you'd think the Khan was recruiting troops! It would be better if he just called all the concubines in.
@Zhou Jushan (Chief Eunuch): You don't understand this, do you? Reciting them one by one in order is the only way to demonstrate one's rank and honor. And the reason the princess selected her male favorites and summoned them here today is to teach them a lesson. If they don't work hard enough for the princess, there are plenty of newcomers.
@Sheng Zhixing: If I really had such a philandering daughter, wouldn't I be hacked to death by those male favorites who turned their love into hatred?
At this moment, a concubine in ivory white clothes strode up to Su Rui.
Judging from the eunuch's name just now, this concubine's surname should be Lin.
Concubine Lin has a pair of narrow eyes, and looks domineering in his face and demeanor. Xun San mentioned this Concubine Lin to Su Rui. Many of the princess's businesses are managed by this Concubine Lin. It is said that this Concubine Lin's family is quite capable in doing business. He is deeply valued and loved by the princess, and is extremely arrogant among many male favorites.
Mrs. Lin, along with two young eunuchs, approached Su Rui with disdain in her eyes: "The style of your clothes is very similar to mine."
He said arrogantly: "Are you imitating me?"
After hearing this, Su Rui and everyone in the class group were speechless.
@Master Liao: He thinks he’s the master of traditional pickled cabbage beef noodles, and there are people imitating him?
@Jiang Lili: Su Rui, didn't you want to be the protagonist of a novel? You're the protagonist of a palace fight today. Are you happy?
At this time, the other young men participating in the draft were looking at Su Rui with a gloating look. He was picked on by Lin Cefu as soon as he arrived, and he was probably going to be treated badly!
[@Su Rui: Li Li, when the princess is about to come out of the yard, can you remind me? ]
[@江麗麗: Okay, now the princess has stood up and is ready to leave.]
After Su Rui received Jiang Lili's reply, he looked at Lin Cefu with a puzzled look on his face. As soon as he opened his mouth, he greeted Lin Cefu's ancestors in pure foreign language. With a smile on his face, he called Lin Cefu an idiot in a friendly tone.
Mrs. Lin and the two eunuchs beside him heard Su Rui's babble and were immediately confused: "What are you talking about?"
Su Rui still had a smile on his face: "This is the desert alien language. It is a compliment to you, praising your handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor."
Su Rui remembered that Xun San had told him that there were many merchants from outside Nanzhao, including some who spoke the same ethnic language as him. These merchants were generally big dealers of spices and gems.
There are several such people in the business managed by Lin Cefu.
Don't hit a smiling person. When Lin Cefu heard Su Rui say that he was praising him, he paused and said unhappily, "So you can speak our language. I thought you were mute."
"What does your last compliment to me mean in your foreign language?"
Su Rui recalled that he had called Lin Cefu a beast at the end, and he replied seriously: "It means it's awesome."
Anyway, Xun San had already told him that the Second Princess had no confidants who could understand the desert foreign language.
"I heard that you often interact with foreigners when you're doing takeout. Do you want to learn a few words?"
Mrs. Lin narrowed her eyes and said, "You want to teach me? Fine, come on."

At this time, a quarter of an hour had passed in the cat's yard. Sheng Yin was still reluctant to leave the kitten, but when she thought about the new male lover coming in today, she was looking forward to it.
Sheng Yin picked up a big orange cat that looked well-behaved and cute, and then pointed at another cat. This cat had fluffy white fur on its front legs and below the neck, and the rest of its body was black.
Ancient people called cats of this color "dark clouds stepping on snow."
Sheng Yin pointed at the cat and said to Jiang Lili, "Jiang Lihua, pick up Wuyun Tashexue and come with me to the front yard to choose a male favorite."
Jiang Lili and Xin Che were both stunned after hearing this.
Jiang Lili's eyes widened. The princess wanted her to go to the front yard with her, holding the cat, to choose a male lover?! This was not right!
