Hearing Lin Zaozao's unabashed voice, a vicious light immediately flashed in Princess Qianyue's eyes.
When they entered the Hundred Flower Banquet later, she would see how she dealt with this crude and vulgar Princess Mingzhu.
If possible, she must poison her to death.
That Princess Mingzhu was simply a foolish woman!
Standing to the side, Lvzhi saw the vicious light revealing in Princess Qianyue's eyes. His palms couldn't help tightening.
Like her mother, Princess Qianyue was a lewd and extremely wicked person. From his understanding of her, with such an expression now, she must be plotting something bad.
It seemed that he must find an opportunity later at the banquet to give Prince Han Ye some warning. They couldn't let their Princess Mingzhu really fall into this silly woman before them.
Just as Princess Qianyue was glaring viciously at Lin Zaozao, Lin Zaozao suddenly turned her head back.
The next second, Princess Qianyue, who was originally ferocious looking, immediately revealed a gentle smile on her face.
Looking at Princess Qianyue whose expression changed so quickly, Lin Zaozao couldn't help giving her a thumbs up. She really lived up to being a princess who grew up in the royal family. Her facial changing skills were much stronger than hers.
At least when she changed her face, she could still brew her emotions for a while. But when Princess Qianyue changed her face, it took less than a second for her expression and eyes to become amiable.
She was really awesome!
If she was put in the 21st century, with her stunning figure and such volatile expressions, she would definitely become a big star.
"Zhuzhu, were you deliberately making things difficult for Princess Qianyue just now to take revenge for Doctor Ji?" Han Ye asked in a low voice.
"Of course! If I hadn't arrived in time back then, my husband Ji Fantian would have been burned to death by that wicked Princess Qianyue. Not taking revenge when you should isn't what a woman should do!
Besides, people always say it's nice to take shelter under big trees. Today I must take advantage of your power to fix up that Princess Qianyue, that big cow!"
"Hehe..."
Hearing Han Ye's low laughter, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but stare blankly.
Oh my god! The flower she was going to appreciate later was right beside her, and it was so beautiful!
Moreover, it was very likely her vicious aunt would display some poisonous flowers for her to appreciate!
"Zhuzhu, don't be afraid when you meet the Female Emperor of Fengshuo later. Feel free to be yourself. I'll be here no matter what!"
"Brother Han Ye, aren't you afraid the Female Emperor of Fengshuo will set us up?"
"Zhuzhu, all conspiracies and tricks are powerless in the face of absolute power. Han Country's power now surpasses Fengshuo Country. No matter how many schemes the Female Emperor of Fengshuo has, we don't need to be afraid.
We are bound to take back Fengshuo Country sooner or later. On this point, even the Female Emperor of Fengshuo is clear.
The reason she invited you to this flower appreciation banquet today is to probe your details. Remember, Zhuzhu, when the enemy hasn't revealed its fox tail, you must learn to hide your capabilities."
"Hiding capabilities is just pretending to be crazy and stupid! I'm good at that. Brother Han Ye, your expression is so awesome now! I admire you so much."
"Alright, Zhuzhu. The court lady to lead the way has arrived, so we should get going."
Han Ye looked back at Princess Qianyue and Lvzhi who had already disappeared behind them, with disdain in his eyes.
Following the court lady leading the way, soon Lin Zaozao and Han Ye Dashan arrived at the flower appreciation banquet. Princess Qianyue and her master Lvzhi had taken a shortcut and were already seated.
Below their seats were seated a group of richly dressed young masters and ladies. When they saw Lin Zaozao, other than curiosity about Princess Mingzhu, what remained in their eyes was disdain.
Sure enough, just like what Princess Qianyue said, that Princess Mingzhu was merely a village woman who grew up in the countryside.
With such a childish face, how could she possibly govern the prosperous Han Country well.
Later, they would definitely have to help Her Majesty properly deal with this Princess Mingzhu who had no experience of the world.
Lin Zaozao discreetly sized up the surrounding environment. On both sides were endless lotus ponds, and the banks were filled with blossoming flowers, which were indeed very beautiful.
But when she saw those ill-intentioned people at the banquet, she suddenly felt the scenery was not so appealing anymore.
Sitting in the chief position was the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country, intimately embracing a scantily clad man. Her hands, painted bright red, kept roaming over that male servant's body.
And as the Female Emperor of Fengshuo's hands roamed, the male servant occasionally let out alluring moans.
This scene, those soft moans of the man, looked extremely erotic!
However, when the Female Emperor of Fengshuo saw Lin Zaozao and Han Ye come in, she immediately pushed away the man lying in her arms. Her expression also changed from unrestrained to proper.
She gazed gently at Lin Zaozao, immediately revealing a loving smile on her face. Even the male servant kneeling beside her now knelt there properly.
Looking at the absurd scene before her eyes, Lin Zaozao felt it was truly unbelievable. This Female Emperor of Fengshuo was the ruler of a country, yet she could do such a thing in broad daylight in front of everyone.
If the ruler was already so dissolute and immoral, then how about her civil and military officials!
And under such a female emperor, how well could the common people of Fengshuo Country live!
"Pearl, you've arrived. Come quickly and take your seat! Once you're seated, auntie has a surprise for you!"
The Female Emperor of Fengshuo had just finished speaking when a court lady came to lead Lin Zaozao to the position below the Female Emperor of Fengshuo.
Sitting in that position was clearly inappropriate. It seemed her "auntie" wanted to give her a lesson!
"Oh! Auntie, hasn't your court lady been properly trained? How could she lead me to the lower position?
You should know that although I haven't ascended the position of Female Emperor of Han Country yet, I'm still the only heir apparent, my status equal to yours.
If that short-sighted court lady really led me to sit there, wouldn't it seem Han Country is inferior to your Fengshuo Country?
If people who don't know found out, they might think you deliberately arranged that position to give me a lesson!"
Lin Zaozao's slightly mocking words made the Female Emperor of Fengshuo's eyes sink.
According to the information she obtained, this damn Princess Ming Pearl had always been crazy before her marriage.
Even if she became sober after marrying, with such a short time, Zhang Qianlou couldn't possibly have trained her etiquette so well.
Moreover, from the messages sent back by her spies, Zhang Qianlou hadn't properly trained her at all.
So now? How could she know all this? Could she really be the heavenly blessed girl the national teacher mentioned?
Although the Female Emperor of Fengshuo was dissolute and immoral, she was still the one in power of a country after all.
In a flicker of her eyes, anger immediately appeared on her face. She glanced lightly at the somewhat cowering court lady, and immediately had people seize and drag that court lady to the center of the banquet hall to beat severely in front of everyone.
Meanwhile, Lin Zaozao went straight with Han Ye and Dashan to sit in the chief position next to the Female Emperor of Fengshuo.
Lin Zaozao raised the wine cup to her mouth and gently took a sip. On the way here, worried someone might spike her drink, Ji Fantian had already stuffed her a sachet as a precaution.
Actually there was no need for her to wear the sachet. Her current level of Marrow Washing Liquid had increased to level three already. Even very powerful poisons weren't scary with level three Marrow Washing Liquid.
Smelling the herbal scent from the sachet, watching the court lady being beaten bloody in the center of the banquet hall, there was only faint disdain in Lin Zaozao's eyes.
Did this Female Emperor of Fengshuo have a hole in her brain?
From her pretense of wanting to get intimate with her, it was obvious she wanted to take advantage of her. Or rather, she could benefit from getting close to her.
Apart from Han Country, there was no other possibility that she could take advantage of from her.
Clearly she was asking a favor, yet upon seeing her, she wanted to subdue her first.
And now she was publicly beating the court lady to see her reaction.
Humph! Stupid thing, thinking she, Lin Zaozao, is a fool. She made it so obvious as soon as she arrived that even if she were blind, she could have sensed it.
While Lin Zaozao was silently pondering with a wine glass in hand, that attendant who had been beaten to within an inch of his life actually managed to break free from the guards holding him. He dragged his battered body towards Lin Zaozao as fast as he could.
"Princess Mingzhu, please save me, I beg you..."
As he spoke, he reached for the hem of Lin Zaozao's skirt. Lin Zaozao looked expressionlessly at the hand about to grab her skirt and unceremoniously kicked him away.
"Dashan, throw him aside for me, so he doesn't dirty my clothes."
Following Lin Zaozao's order, Dashan mercilessly kicked the attendant to the side. With one kick, the attendant collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
"Auntie, you have to say, this attendant really lacks common sense. I'm clearly the one who can save his life, yet he begs me instead!
It's as if I'm the one punishing him now. What a stupid fool. He's gone and ruined my kind and benevolent image."
Hearing Lin Zaozao's nonchalant words, the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country saw the unconcealed amusement in Lin Zaozao's eyes. She waved at the guards below, and they immediately dragged the attendant out of the banquet hall.
"Mingzhu, the servants don't know manners and have embarrassed you. Please forgive them."
"Auntie, look at what you say! What's our relationship? We're blood relatives, intimate kin. How could we let a blind fool like him disturb our close bond!"
Having said that, Lin Zaozao picked up her wine glass and plonked herself down next to the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country. She hugged the empress's arm and buried her head in her chest, coquettishly acting spoiled.
"Auntie, I'm just a poor little orphan now with no parents. You're my only family left.
So Auntie, you must cherish me more in the future and protect this weak and helpless orphan! You can't let others bully me!"
"Mingzhu, there's no need to say it. Protecting you well is what Auntie should do. No matter what happens to you in the future, just tell Auntie. Auntie will definitely protect you."
The Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country gently stroked Lin Zaozao's hair, looking at her with a loving face.
In an instant, the previously tense banquet hall turned warm and harmonious because of the conversation between Lin Zaozao and the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country.
"Auntie, didn't you invite me here to appreciate the flowers? Where are the flowers? I haven't seen any yet!"
Lin Zaozao had just finished speaking when the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country signaled a young man standing beside her with her eyes.
Upon receiving the empress's signal, the man stepped forward and said in a sharp, shrill voice, "Let the flower appreciation banquet begin!"
Hearing the man's piercing voice and taking another careful look at his noticeable Adam's apple, Lin Zaozao realized he was a eunuch.
This is a female-supremacist country. In her original world, ancient palace eunuchs existed to prevent palace maids from seducing men.
But this is a female-supremacist country! Why are there still eunuchs?
Most importantly, this eunuch looks so handsome, yet someone castrated him.
What a waste! Without that, it doesn't matter how good-looking he is!
