Bai Ling nodded, took out a chopstick, and played with it in her hand.
Be prepared to act at the crucial moment.
Looking at the noisy scene below with amusement, Xunmi thought to himself that it felt a bit like a wet market.
"Who are you?" The storyteller finally came to his senses and immediately remembered that the woman had just questioned him.
"I am the ugly, faceless, and vicious woman you speak of, Wenren Xunmi."
She stepped down the stairs and said, "Although I didn't know when I became like this, I really have to thank you, sir, for letting me know."
"So, without my knowledge, there were so many people who were jealous of me."
Wenren Xunxun has her own pride. As a talented noblewoman, her backbone will never bend.
Moreover, she is now the Princess Roujia, personally bestowed by the Emperor, so how could she possibly lose her self-respect?
The onlookers were in an uproar. They had made so many guesses, but they never expected that this woman would be the very person they had just been talking about.
This feeling is... indescribably wonderful.
Their intelligence started to return, and they realized what they had just done, echoing the sentiment that the emperor was blind.
Good heavens, this is a capital offense!
The storyteller himself was stunned; he inexplicably felt a sense of pressure emanating from Xunmi.
The imposing aura that only those in positions of power exuded from someone he despised was unacceptable to him and made him somewhat apprehensive.
"Guards, take this gentleman away. He has slandered the princess, questioned the emperor's decisions, and spread rumors. He should be handed over to the authorities for investigation."
Two guards immediately entered and dragged the storyteller away.
As for the storyteller who was shouting loudly, his mouth had already been gagged.
Xunmi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when a gust of wind reached his ears, accompanied by exclamations of surprise.
"Miss, be careful."
"sister."
Then came a series of loud inhalations and exhalations, leaving me still somewhat confused.
Xiao Xiang's expression was still one of terror, and her younger brother's eyes also showed fear.
Wait, how could she see so clearly? Holy crap, where's her veil?
Damn it, who is this guy? He's so clumsy, lifting her hat again. Doesn't he know her hat is a product of the system?
It cost her so many points, if it breaks, she'll be devastated.
Searching without fully understanding the situation, filled with resentment, and oblivious to the reactions of those around me.
She picked up the veil that had fallen to the ground with a pained expression, patted it gently, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Don't you know that it's very impolite to lay a hand on a woman? You've really impressed me."
Damn, her hat is really broken, she's lost all her points, she's so tired, she needs comfort.
Bai Ling, who was standing at the third-floor window, still in the motion of shooting out chopsticks, had already turned red in the face.
Nangong Muchen and Guan Shengqing, who were standing next to him, also widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
This is the person they just mentioned who dares not see anyone, the person Feifei mentioned who is jealous of her beauty, Wenren Xunmi.
Who can tell them that this isn't true?
With such an appearance, what is there for her to be ashamed of, and what is there for her to be jealous of others?
Her captivating, mesmerizing eyes alone were enough to make any man fall head over heels for her.
At this moment, her angry expression made her bright eyes appear even more beautiful.
If she is said to be ugly and unattractive, then all women in the world would be ashamed to face her.
"I...I'm sorry, Miss Wenren, I didn't mean to. I apologize."
Bai Ling spoke somewhat awkwardly, feeling even more embarrassed as she watched the other person staring intently at the veil.
"I've damaged your hat, would you mind buying me a new one?"
The other person seemed to really like that veil, and now that I've so carelessly ruined it, they must be very sad.
"My queen has no need for you to flatter her."
Zongzheng Mufeng walked in with a dark expression. He had gone to find the beauty early in the morning, only to find out that she had gone out.
I rushed over immediately and saw the beauty attracting attention again; she's really naughty.
What made him even more eager to kill was that the damned man actually dared to seduce a beautiful woman; he must be tired of living.
The scene fell silent instantly. This man was a real man.
In Beijing, everyone knows his name.
Upon seeing that it was Prince An, Bai Ling panicked. He was the Crown Prince's secret guard and absolutely could not let Prince An discover him.
As for why a secret guard was able to leave his master, it was thanks to the emperor confining the crown prince to his quarters.
"My beauty, how come you've brought back so many flies for me in just one morning?"
"Tell me, how should I punish you?"
Zongzheng Mufeng was really angry, but he couldn't bear to be angry with the beauty, so he could only make himself angry.
He was still too slow. If he had been faster, he could have wiped out all those creatures that pounced on him.
A smile flashed in Xunmi's eyes. Was her darling husband jealous?
That's a good sign, but don't tease them too much, or they might go crazy.
"Then I'll punish myself by inviting Your Highness to the Duke's mansion for a cup of tea. As a token of my gratitude, would Your Highness be so kind as to give me a gauze hat?"
He waved the gauze hat in his hand and joked with a hint of distress.
Zongzheng Mufeng's previously stern face suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon.
"I will offer myself to you as a thank-you gift; a mere gauze hat is too insignificant."
He took the gauze hat from Xunmi's hand and tossed it to An Yi behind him, telling him to go and buy a few more.
He wholeheartedly supported the idea that beautiful women should wear veils.
Such a beautiful woman, how could she be seen by those people? no.
The two left chatting and laughing, leaving behind a stunned crowd and a few dumbfounded people on the third floor.
'Is this woman really Wenren Xunmi? Can someone pinch me?'
"Holy crap, today I finally witnessed what true beauty looks like!"
'To be honest, the young lady is no match for this one.'
Who spread those rumors?
'It seems to have come from the Prime Minister's residence.'
"It seems that Xiaoyue, the eldest young lady's personal maid, is always saying that the second young lady, relying on being the legitimate daughter, bullies the eldest young lady and is jealous of her."
'...'
They looked at each other blankly, then scattered in a panic.
Today's news is so sensational that they're going to find people to share it with.
Even from this distance, I can't forget those clear, dark eyes.
Bai Ling muttered to herself, unsure whether she was speaking to herself or to someone else.
"A woman like this, if not extremely cunning and malicious as Fei Fei described, then she is..."
Nangong Muchen didn't say anything, but the two who were listening understood.
They even preferred the latter, thinking that with such beauty, why should she make herself ugly?
As the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family, isn't she noble?
"Then why did Feifei tell us those things?" Guan Shengqing asked hesitantly.
All three of them liked Feifei because of her kindness and cuteness.
But that doesn't mean they're willing to be deceived.
