I am born a beauty, and I am supreme

Chapter 219

One is beautiful, the other is righteous.

One is alluring, the other is elegant.

Finally, the boy spoke first: "Chu Gexing?" he said.

Chu Gexing was taken aback: "You recognize me? Who are you?"

The boy's expression suddenly became very serious.

Chu Gexing looked at him.

The young man sighed, shook his head with an air of maturity, and said, "Of course I recognize you; you are my rival in love."

Chu Gexing was stunned: "A love rival?"

The boy looked worried. He nodded. "Yes, you know Tang Leyan, right? She is..." He coughed, seemingly a little shy, "...a very close person to me. We have a deep, unbreakable bond, and have known each other for a long time..."

"...How is it?" Chu Gexing looked at him with goosebumps.

The boy looked at him honestly: "You know it. I don't need to tell you."

Chu Gexing said, "It's always best to speak frankly and openly."

The boy glared at him for a moment, then said, "Fine. Since you insist on asking, I'll tell you, Tang Leyan. She's mine, and you can forget about her for the rest of your life."

Chu Gexing lowered his eyes and said, "Oh."

The boy looked at him: "You're not going to react?"

Chu Gexing shook his head and turned to look to the side.

The boy stepped forward and shoved him, saying, "We've already talked things out, why are you still standing there? Aren't you going to leave?"

Chu Gexing glanced at him: "Why should I leave?"

The boy said, "You are guarding the door, clearly with ill intentions. I must protect my people."

Chu Gexing frowned: "Little brother, go back to where you came from. I'll let it go since you're still wet behind the ears."

The boy looked him up and down and said, "You've got quite the big mouth."

Chu Gexing snorted coldly: "The martial world is dangerous. Don't wander around if you have nothing to do. You should go home and hug your parents."

The boy frowned: "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Or do you not believe me?"

Chu Gexing said, "It's nothing... Alright, since you're so sincere, I'll tell you something too. I don't know if Leyan is your person, but she is definitely mine, and I'm 100% sure of that. Little brother, do you know what that means? If you don't understand, go home and ask your father."

The boy was dull and listless.

Seeing his expression, Chu Gexing felt a sense of satisfaction.

You're from there? Hmph.

The boy murmured.

Chu Gexing asked, "What did you say?"

The boy stared at him, his eyes fixed and unmoving. Chu Gexing suddenly noticed that his eyes were a deep blue, like the sky after a rain, a blue that was almost transparent, very beautiful and clear.

Chu Gexing was taken aback.

The boy suddenly pointed a finger at his nose and shouted, "You...you actually...did all of my sister's business...you...I'm going to tell the Empress, I'm going to tell Father, I'm going to..."

He shouted.

The Chu song is even more awkward.

Just then, a voice roared, "Tang Letian! Say another word and I'll beat you to death!" It was filled with hatred and gritted teeth.

The boy suddenly covered his mouth and obediently stood aside without making a sound.

A red-clad figure moved at the doorway, and someone came out.

Chu Gexing watched Tang Leyan walk away, feeling inexplicably excited. Suddenly, he heard an uneasy commotion beside him, turned around, and was immediately embarrassed.

In an instant, he knew who this young man was.

He is Tang Leyan's younger brother, Tang Letian.

And surprisingly, during his first meeting with Tang Letian, he revealed... his secret with Leyan.

Showing off to his younger brother-in-law...

How could that be?

Awkward.

Chu Gexing's face quickly turned red, and he subconsciously turned and left.

As I walked, I thought: This is a bad start, not good at all.

"Where are you going?" someone called from behind.

Chu Gexing stopped, turned around, and looked at that face. He opened his mouth, but suddenly found that his old habit of being dull had relapsed. The sharp tongue and venomous remarks he had when he was arguing with Tang Letian were nowhere to be seen.

"I...I..." He stammered, looking very foolish.

"Beautiful, beautiful, indeed a beauty," Tang Letian watched him intently from the side, gazing at his face, which looked like a ripe peach, and drooling with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Stop laughing!" Luckily, Tang Leyan was there, and her shrewish roar silenced the unruly boy.

Tang Letian tiptoed away to the side.

Tang Leyan angrily said, "Stop right there! Where are you going?"

Tang Letian said, "Looking for the Empress..."

Tang Leyan said, "What are you going to do to the Empress? Are you trying to tell her... You dare!... Why don't you come here right now?" She said hatefully, revealing her fierce nature.

Chu Gexing stood still, completely absorbed in the sound.

I was completely absorbed in listening to their conversation.

But then Tang Letian screamed, "Oh no, brother-in-law, help me!"

Chu Gexing felt his hair stand on end.

It felt as if my entire body was soaking in warm hot spring water. Every pore was screaming: "So comfortable, so comfortable, so comfortable..."

For a moment, he wished he could grab Tang Letian and make him shout a thousand times.

Meanwhile, Tang Leyan, enraged and embarrassed, pointed at Tang Letian and yelled, "You damned bastard, get over here, or I'll beat you to death!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard someone beside him say, "I...I...I'm not, am I?" He stammered.

He finally said it.

Tang Leyan was speechless.

Chu Gexing stared at her blankly, like a child eagerly waiting for candy, yet afraid that the candy would grow wings and fly away.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang Letian slipped away from behind Tang Leyan, giving Chu Gexing a thumbs-up before leaving.

Chu Gexing stared at Tang Leyan, who had suddenly fallen silent. Then he glanced at Tang Letian, who was flashing a bright, cunning smile at him, and suddenly thought, "This first meeting... not bad."

Not bad, not bad, really not bad.

Tang Letian did his future "brother-in-law" a big favor on their first meeting.

The main purpose was actually to get myself out of a predicament.

Unfortunately, the consequence of disobeying the older sister is...

Tang Shaoxuan issued an edict to abdicate.

The imperial edict appointed Tang Leyan as the new ruler of Shun, the first female emperor in the history of Shun.

He was determined to leave, and after leaving behind an imperial edict, he departed the palace. No one knew where Emperor Shun went.

When this person gets decisive, it's terrifying.

The country cannot exist without it, and Tang Leyan had no choice but to accept.

Looking up, Chu Gexing saw:

No matter who you are or what your status is, nothing can stop me...

She smiled brightly at him.

He drank it like it was rock sugar water.

Tang Leyan ascended the throne and issued his first imperial edict.

The edict reads: "Knowing my own inadequacy, I hereby pass the throne to my younger brother, Letian."

Tang Letian burst into tears on the spot and threw a tantrum.

The entire court had long been eyeing this perfect young man. And it turned out he was indeed Tang Shaosi, the Marquis of Jinxiang, a legitimate member of the royal family. Even the Empress Dowager treated him with great affection. Therefore, the entire court wholeheartedly supported the Empress's wise decision.

Tang Letian's disguise was so well done that the whole world accepted and enthusiastically supported it.

Thus, he put himself in a position from which there was no turning back.

Everyone felt that he was more suited for the position than the Queen.

Even Tang Shaosi said, "Le Tian, for Le Yan's happiness, your father will sacrifice you a little..."

Tang Leyan nestled into Yu Fengqing's arms again, then twisted her body slightly and acted coquettishly. Yu Fengqing then said earnestly, "Yes, Leyan, your father is right. You have to take care of your sister. Be good."

Tang Letian felt deeply alienated from his family, and that there was serious discrimination against women among his family members.

For a moment, he really wanted to climb into Tang Shaosi's arms and "wiggle around a little and act cute," but he had already anticipated the outcome, which would definitely be unusually miserable.

Tang Shaosi's departure was clear and resolute.

That is to stand firmly by Xiaoyu'er's side.

Looking at the family—excluding Chu Gexing, that guy basically listens to whatever Tang Leyan says, so he's unreliable. And the only male in the family—his father—is, without a doubt, a member of the Yu faction, which is equivalent to Leyan's faction, so no one supports him. While Tang Letian misses his little sister Wei Baodi, the only one who listens to him, he has no choice but to endure the humiliation and accept that insidious decree.

Tang Leyan, as the first female emperor in Shun's history, abdicated after less than half a day on the throne. However, she made indelible contributions to Shun's history. She appeared as a martial arts champion, protected Emperor Shun, accompanied him, and went to the Phoenix Dynasty as an envoy to relieve the siege of the East Sea and repel the Phoenix Dynasty's army. The historian smiled and wrote: "Peace reigns in all directions, a new emperor ascends the throne, and the retired emperor, being a woman, also had the habit of sleeping at night. Her reign was like a bright flower blooming at night, dazzling and captivating. Therefore, the retired emperor also had another name, known in history as the 'Night Emperor'!"
