Lin Daiyu was a delicate and frail woman, but she was wearing a mink fur coat that would cost tens of thousands of dollars in modern times.
Du Yaoyao pouted and complained coquettishly, "I told you long ago that I was not feeling well, but you insisted that I looked good."
"I was wrong. I'll let Madam deal with me when I get home tonight." Shen Jie leaned close to her and whispered in her ear.
Du Yaoyao turned her head away and snorted, "I'm not in the mood!"
She was really in no mood. Just now, when she heard Chu Dewuwu say "divorce your wife and marry another one", not only did Chen's eyes gradually reveal pity and sympathy when she looked at her, but Du Yaoyao also felt alert in her heart.
No one knows the direction of the plot in the book better than her: Crown Prince Chu Zheng proposed to Chen Jie to divorce his wife and marry Princess Hong'e, but Chen Jie did not agree immediately. After his cannon fodder wife died, he welcomed the princess into the mansion and they fell in love.
Regardless of whether he truly likes her or is just pretending to use her, Chen Jie has always put the overall situation first.
He chose to support the prince and would not easily reject the prince's requests and orders.
Hong'e has power that the prince's faction can borrow, and marriage is the simplest and most cost-free way - but the man has an extra woman.
All I have is a good body to fuck and Shen Jie's half-true, half-false warmth.
When faced with two options, choose the more important one. It is obvious what choice Chen Jie will make in the future.
Gradually, everyone in the hall arrived, and the emperor and empress arrived. Envoys from various countries came out one after another, speaking beautiful and flowery words to congratulate the Great Chu.
The last one was an envoy from Nanzhao. She was wearing a bright red palace skirt with golden crabapple threads. She had a pretty face and a clear voice.
"Princess Hong'e of Nanzhao pays respect to the Emperor and Empress of Great Chu, and wishes our Emperor and Empress good fortune as vast as the East Sea, a long life as long as the heavens, and a thousand generations of blessings, and may the land be filled with blessings!"
"Good, good, good!" The emperor was very happy and praised Hong'e. The queen sat upright on the phoenix couch and smiled quietly.
The music of Sheng and Xiao started, and the dancers danced gracefully. Two rows of luminous pearls inlaid on the golden walls made the hall as bright as day.
No one can hide.
Hong'e came over with a wine jug in her hand and stopped in front of Du Yaoyao's table.
Chen Jie stood up, and Du Yaoyao bowed slightly, "Meet the princess."
Hong'e looked at Du Yaoyao for a long time and said in a very contemptuous tone: "So you are the wife of the censor."
Du Yaoyao wanted to reply, "Yes, I am your humble wife," but she was so irritated by Hong'e's arrogance and disdain that she pretended to be like a wooden man and did not move or say a word.
Shen Jie asked, "What can I do for you, Princess?"
Hong'e put on a bright smile and said cunningly, "Sir Shen, I heard that women in Da Chu are very talented. I want to compete in a dance with your wife. If I win, please let me stay with you for the night."
The people of Nanzhao were open-minded. When Hong'e was staying in the envoy's inn, she tried to climb onto Chenjie's bed several times but failed.
Shen Jie said calmly, "What if the princess loses?"
"I won't lose!" Hong'e raised her head proudly, determined to win.
Du Yaoyao lowered her head and listened to the two of them "flirting" beside her. Just as she was about to see how Chen Jie would respond, he suddenly called her name.
"Yaoyao, what do you think?"
