"Ah, why did I agree to this?" The Empress Dowager was so regretful she could feel it in her bones, shouting loudly, "No, I don’t want that annoying Witch Doctor giving acupuncture. I want the one who loves to smile, the one who loves to laugh..."
...
Tonight’s dinner was a scene of mixed emotions. Jin Zijin had a mountain of docunts to review, even during the al, his hands were still holding a book.
Gu Youyou ate leisurely, but her mind was busy thinking about other matters.
Yue Rujing, over there, seed to have suffered so kind of blow. He regarded the dishes with enmity, this one displeasing, that one unsatisfying.
The tableful of dishes was practically ruined by him.
Gu Youyou reached out with her chopsticks only to co up empty, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Yue Rujing, what kind of tantrum are you throwing today? You’ve scattered the dishes all over the table! How are we supposed to eat now?"
Yue Rujing looked up—another woman criticizing him, which made him even more frustrated.
He shouted, "So you’re bullying because I have no temper, is that it? Today, I’m just going to make a ss of the table! What are you going to do about it?"
Gu Youyou: "..." Sothing’s off with this guy today... What...
"Did you get dumped..."
That sentence was like stepping on his tail. Yue Rujing instantly felt as though a massive stone was pressing down on him, filling him with unbearable anguish.
Damn it, won are just so annoying—so damn annoying.
He sneered coldly, "Do you believe it? A man like , the Princely Heir, can have any woman I want. If I just beckon with my finger, they’d swarm , and you’d drown in their saliva! Believe it or not?"
Gu Youyou: "..."
She was full of questions, and finally turned to Jin Zijin.
Jin Zijin finished his last bite of food, put down his chopsticks, and simultaneously set aside the book in his hand, saying, "Well, it seems the Nanzhao Emperor is trying to arrange a match for Ajing. This morning, he summoned a young lady, but as soon as she saw him..." He cast a glance at Yue Rujing with faint disdain and continued, "The young woman thought he was too frail and didn’t take a liking to him."
"Hahaha... Yue... Yue Rujing, you effeminate weakling, you’ve got your couppance today!"
Gu Youyou burst into uncontrollable laughter upon hearing this, clutching her stomach and unable to stop for a while.
Yue Rujing stared at Jin Zijin with a face full of grievance, looking utterly pitiful.
"Senior brother, it’s one thing for others to make fun of , but how could you treat this way?"
Gu Youyou, still laughing, moved over to Jin Zijin and declared her dominion.
"Hey, hey, where are you looking? This is my man."
Yue Rujing: "...I’m a man. What are you thinking?"
Jin Zijin: "..."
Gu Youyou stopped laughing and started looking at him warily.
She gritted her teeth and said, "That’s exactly why I have to watch out for you. Sotis, male love rivals are more dangerous than female ones. If you fall for a woman, there’s still a chance to pull you back—after all, I’m a woman too. But if you fall for a man, then it’s ga over..."
"You, you, you..."
Yue Rujing widened his eyes in shock, unable to speak for a while.
Jin Zijin’s face turned stormy. He didn’t care whether Gu Youyou had finished eating; he hoisted her up and carried her to their room. With a few sharp smacks to her backside, he growled, "Ga over? Let help you experience it firsthand!"
"Ah...? Please spare , milord. I was wrong..."
...
The Nanzhao Emperor appeared deeply committed to Yue Rujing’s marriage prospects. After bringing one young woman on the first day, within the next ten days, multiple eligible ladies and Commandery Princesses followed.
Since the Emperor didn’t have any marriageable Princesses for an alliance, he hoped Yue Rujing might take a liking to one of the Commandery Princesses.
