Transmigrated Empresses (Male and Female)

Chapter 50

"With Lord Shen absent from court, the court feels rather lonely." "A place without me is bound to feel empty." The one who spoke was a loyal fan of Chou Qian.

“Sir Shen, please take a seat.” It was Wang Xiuyi who offered me his seat. I glanced at him sideways and said, “Isn’t that inappropriate? You are a sir.”

"Not at all, Lord Shen is a pillar of the nation." I nodded approvingly. "The Emperor said the same thing when he brought me back, and even said that the court would stop functioning without me. Sigh! I didn't realize I was so important. It really bothers me." I struck the classic pose of a bronze statue deep in thought, as if I were under pressure.

The imperial faction all came out and laughed, indicating that my talent was exceptional. Wu Yongkang said, "Lord Shen is the future of Dongqing."

"It's not that exaggerated." At most, it's just the sun in Dongqing.

The man with the flat face said, "Lord Shen is a lucky general for our Dongqing."

"That's not true." If it is, it's just Dongqing's lucky star.

"Lord Shen, we wouldn't know what to do without you." "Lord Chen, you flatter me." I haven't seen you die these past few days without me.

Just as we were enjoying ourselves, the plague god of no regrets entered, the air pressure dropped, and the crowd stopped their commotion.

I walked in with a smile: "Huihui, you're here! Long time no see."

"Hmph!" He puffed smoke from his nose. "Who dared to mess with our Lord Wu Hui? I'll go and kill him." I put my arm around his waist (I couldn't reach his neck), always ready to go to great lengths for my brother.

"Then go commit suicide!" Niu Shen stepped through the crowd and took one of the few high-ranking official positions. I looked at him with envy and despised him for using his princely status to cheat people out of their seats.

"So it was my fault, brother. But I don't remember stealing your woman or digging up your ancestral graves."

"You—!" Wu Hui Shenqi suddenly stood up as if ascending to heaven.

I patted him and said, "Sweetie. Don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health and makes you age faster. Do you want to look like Chou Qian and be unwanted?" As soon as I finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the door. I broke out in a cold sweat. No way, people shouldn't gossip behind each other's backs.

I turned around with a warning, smiled sweetly, forced out two dimples, and narrowed my phoenix eyes into crescents. I excitedly rushed towards Chou Qian: "Organization, I finally saw you! I'm so touched, I never want to leave you again!"

Chou Qian calmly pried my hand off: "Get down." I looked at him pitifully and said in a voice that everyone could hear, "Don't you want me anymore? I know I haven't been feeling well these past two days, but did anyone send Lian'er over to take care of you?" I rested my head on his chest in a wronged manner, trying to gain his sympathy.

The officials whispered among themselves after hearing what I said. I leaned close to one of them and whispered in his ear, "Quickly, see who's in cahoots with whom."

Chou Qian shifted his attention to everyone, and I took the opportunity to enjoy the embrace of the ugliest man. Hmm, not bad, quite comfortable. I nuzzled him and slipped my hand inside to touch him.

Just as I was about to touch the grape, Zi Mo quickly pulled me away from Chou Qian.

"Let go, he wants Qianqian to hug him." I struggled to break free from Zimo's festering arm, wanting to touch Ugly Qianqian again.

Before I could even run back, Wu Hui grabbed me again. That damned ox, you're trying to stop me from doing something good! "Let me go!"

"Behave yourself, didn't you learn your lesson from the last time you were beaten!" No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pry the cow's arm open.

Chou Qian glanced at us as we ascended to his high position, and a tidal wave of flatterers surged up to us.

I struggled against Wu Hui. I tried the breaststroke, the doggy paddle, I tried them all, but he wouldn't let go.

I glared at him: "You stay with my man."

Wu Hui's eyes widened like a toad's, "You'd better watch your words, or you'll regret it!"

"Ah—ah!—Ah! I won't do it, you have to pay me back!" I lay on his lap and scratched him with my hands.

Zi Mo walked into us with a frown: "Wu Hui, don't let him call!"

"What can I do if he asks me to do something!" Niu Yu failed to recognize his mistake.

Zi Mo squatted down and patted my back: "Be good, Xiao Yi, stop fooling around, we have to go to court later."

"No." If I listened to you, I'd have lived in vain. My ugly Qian! He almost touched it! "You pay! You pay!"

Zi Mo comforted me, saying to Wu Hui with concern, "What did you take from him? Give it to him quickly. He's only just recovered; don't let him suffer any more." That's right, that's right, put me down!

"I didn't take his things!" Silly Cow denied it. "You wouldn't let me touch the grapes, disturbing my meal." I turned my head and pouted at him.

"Where are the grapes? This is ridiculous!" Wu Hui glanced around to make sure there were no grapes.

Zi Mo reached out, trying to trick me: "Come here, Xiao Yi, come to your brother."

"Who's going to compensate me for my grapes?" I'm not so easily fooled.

"There are no grapes at all!" The brute tried to straighten me up and throw me off.

I glared at him, annoyed. "If I find it, are you going to let me eat it?"

"Eat whatever you want! Once you find it, eat however you want!" The big shot tossed me to Zi Mo and straightened his wrinkled court robes.

I looked at him mockingly and nudged Zi Mo, saying, "Fourth Brother, you..." to testify. Xiao Hai didn't let the old man finish speaking, and sang in a folk high-pitched voice, "Go to court—!" Could my grapes just fly away like this? No, I have to fight for my rights. I followed behind the crowd and tugged at Wu Hui's sleeve: "Headache, I don't want to go to court."

Wu Hui looked at me suspiciously. Damn it! Am I really that untrustworthy?!

"It really hurts!"

"nonsense!"

"I see you're pretty strong when you're cursing, you should be fine." He flicked his sleeves and walked away. I followed him pitifully. That brat with no butt, he's not even as considerate as my Liu Er.

"What about my grapes?" I reminded him, unwilling to give up.

"Let's talk about it when we get back!"

"You have to let me eat when we get back." I softened my tone and coaxed him with my voice.

Turning around without regret, I grabbed my hand and we moved forward.
