As soon as Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi walked into the brightly lit Yaohua Palace, they heard a deep male voice with malicious intent.
"Isn't this the frail and sickly Crown Prince Jiang who looks like a beautiful woman? Why is there a girl by his side today? Is he following others and taking a concubine? Is he in good health?"
The man in moon-white brocade clothes looked like a decent human being, but his expression revealed an overbearing arrogance.
He was surrounded by several children of powerful people, who also looked at Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi with ill intentions.
Their eyes fell on Yu Tanqi, with astonishment in their eyes, followed by a nauseating stare.
These words are really obscene and hard to hear.
Jiang Shi frowned and looked at the visitor coldly, "Master Zhai, this is Jiang's fiancée, please be careful with your words."
Yu Tanqi frowned and thought that the plot was almost the same as the original novel. This Master Zhai Zhichang was the first male supporting role to provoke the male protagonist at today's palace banquet.
Zhai Zhichang stared at Yu Tanqi's fair and pretty face, licked his lips, and changed his expression: "So this girl is your fiancée, Miss Yu. No wonder she is so beautiful and has a refined and elegant temperament. I am sorry for being rude. I apologize to Miss Yu. Please don't be angry."
Yu Tanqi said calmly, "It's alright, I just hope Master Zhai won't insult others so casually in the future."
The girl had a cold expression and elegant temperament. She was wearing a gorgeous and noble aqua blue dress, giving off a goddess-like aura that was not of this world. Zhai Zhichang and other lustful and powerful sons were all staring at her.
"Miss Yu is right."
Zhai Zhichang was about to approach Yu Tanqi with a smile, but Jiang Shi stepped forward and stood in front of him.
Jiang Shi looked thin, but he was over six feet tall, while Zhai Zhichang was strong and only over five feet tall. Standing in front of Jiang Shi, he was a head shorter than him, and his aura was greatly reduced.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhai Zhichang hates Jiang Shi.
Jiang Shi is obviously a sickly person, so why is he a head taller than him?
Jiang Shi should have looked as weak and ugly as a dwarf!
Zhai Zhichang looked at Jiang Shi with vicious and disgusted eyes, and subconsciously stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck, trying to make himself look not much shorter than Jiang Shi.
"Jiang Shi, what are you doing?"
Jiang Shi straightened his back and looked calmly at Zhai Zhichang's flushed face and unsteady posture. He reminded him, "Mr. Zhai, be careful not to fall."
Zhai Zhichang immediately burst into curses: "What do you mean? Do you think I am you? I am not as thin and weak as you. I am very strong!"
However, the other people around him sneered, obviously they also saw his stepping action.
Some noble ladies who were annoyed by the fact that he always had to trouble Jiang Shi at every palace banquet even started to laugh at him.
"It's true that he's strong, but I don't see what makes him so strong."
"Does he think he can be taller than Prince Jiang just by standing on tiptoe and pricking his neck? How naive! He's not afraid of spraining his ankle just by boasting."
"Prince Jiang is indeed a true gentleman, much better than these uneducated and unlearned playboys."
"Prince Jiang is becoming more and more handsome..."
The more Zhai Zhichang listened, the angrier he became. He immediately reached out and was about to push Jiang Shi hard, thinking that the boy was still as "fragile and weak" as before and would fall down with a push. However, he never expected that he used too much force and not only failed to push Jiang Shi, but also almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Jiang Shi reached out and grabbed Zhai Zhichang's arm, and asked with confusion and concern: "Mr. Zhai, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? I see that you look and feel very well. Be careful."
Zhai Zhichang almost fell down after failing to push the man. He was so angry that he tried hard to break free from Jiang Shi's hand. However, he was shocked to find that the young man's palm was so slender and strong that he could not move it at all.
"Let me go, no need to pretend!" He stared at Jiang with a threatening look in his eyes.
Jiang Shi smiled slightly, but did not let him go. Instead, he pinched his arm even harder and said, "I'm worried that you're not feeling well, so I'll hold you up."
In the eyes of outsiders, he is still a gentle, kind, weak and beautiful boy. Only Zhai Zhichang knows how strong the strength is when he pinches his arm.
Zhai Zhichang finally realized that something was wrong and looked at Jiang Shi in surprise and suspicion.
"You..." He was about to ask when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm. His face changed drastically and he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from crying out in pain.
Being made into a miserable mess by a powerless teenager was not a scene that Zhai Zhichang could bear to see in front of everyone. Therefore, even though he was sweating coldly and shaking with pain, he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.
But suddenly, I felt a fear for Jiang Shi in my heart.
How did Jiang Shi suddenly become so powerful?
It was obvious that during the New Year's Day palace banquet in January this year, he was still a weakling who was unable to fight back!
When Zhai Zhichang's friends saw him standing there with a strange look on his face, they couldn't help but frown and began to provoke him.
"Zhai Zhichang, what's wrong with you? You're standing there motionless. Are you afraid of Jiang Shi?"
"No way, you can't even beat the frail and sick Jiang Shi now? You're so useless!"
"What a joke! How could I be afraid of him?" Zhai Zhichang couldn't bear it any longer. He gritted his teeth and reached out to grab Jiang Shi's arm, trying hard to pull his arm away.
However, Jiang Shi did not move at all.
The people around them stared at them intently and began to wonder.
"Zhai Zhichang looks so strong, but why does he seem weaker than Crown Prince Jiang? He can't even lift one of Crown Prince Jiang's hands."
"Why do I feel something is wrong? Jiang Shi seems different today."
"I feel the same way. He wasn't like this before..."
Everyone was talking about it, and their eyes couldn't help but look at Yu Tanqi who was protected by Jiang Shi behind him.
The girl has bright eyes, white teeth, black hair and fair skin. The hairpins on her temples sparkle. Her quiet and silent temperament is elegant and gentle, which makes people stunned at first sight.
Some of the ladies couldn't help but reach out to tidy their hair and touch their faces, and then felt a little discouraged.
"She is so beautiful. I think she is even prettier than Princess Yun." A girl in pink whispered to the girl next to her.
The girl quickly covered her mouth: "Shh, keep your voice down, it will be troublesome if Princess Yun hears it."
"Why would it be troublesome if I heard it?"
The two were startled and looked at Yun Shu who suddenly appeared behind them in shock, smiling awkwardly.
"No, nothing."
"We didn't say anything just now!"
Damn it, it really is not right to say bad things about people behind their backs. Look, that person appeared right behind me, it was so scary.
The two of them were very nervous, fearing that the spoiled and willful Princess Yun would lose her temper and embarrass them.
After all, there was someone who said that Princess Yun was just so-so in appearance. Princess Yun then asked everyone in public who was prettier between the two of them. The result was naturally that Princess Yun won. The girl was angry and embarrassed, and finally left crying.
Yun Shu snorted lightly, not intending to argue with them. She looked at Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi with complicated eyes.
In the past, if Yun Shu saw Jiang Shi being bullied, she would have rushed to defend him without saying a word.
