Je suis née beauté, et je suis suprême

Chapitre 57

Before I could finish my heartfelt confession, the transvestite had already run away, unable to withstand the blow.

Pshaw! Boring! I clap my hands and loudly summon Little Grass to continue serving me.

Damn it, you dare to cause trouble? Dealing with you is as easy as eating a plate of bean sprouts!

Ha ha!

"What are you laughing at, young master?" Xiao Cao asked, her face expressionless even when she was asking him a question.

I hooked her chin and teased, "I'm glad you're willing to share a bed with me tonight!"

"Young master, it's more convenient to dream."

Damn it! Not cute at all.

Today is a big day. I wore an orange lace-trimmed scholar's robe, which was both flamboyant and somewhat reserved. But even if I were reserved, I wouldn't be reserved at all, since the other person looked absolutely stunning.

I went out neither male nor female.

That gossipy little grass chased after me, handing me a letter to pass on to Chouqian.

I stared at her speechlessly: "I'm being rejected right now. How can I help you?"

This guy, doesn't he know how to give up?! He's hopeless!

I walked along the bustling street corner with the leaders' hands behind my back.

Only when I walk through familiar streets do I remember a lovely child blushing and calling me Ziyi.

Life is full of disappointments.

It's all God's fault for being jealous of me and sending my little brother to the frontier.

"Lord Shen!" someone called from above.

I exclaimed in surprise, "A flat piece? Oh... no... Lord Li!"

I glanced at the flat card that greeted me from upstairs, then turned and stepped into my familiar hideout—Yaxian Pavilion.

"Lord Shen, where are you going?" Wu Yongkang glanced at my magnificent clothes and thought I had come to the wrong place.

I sighed, sat down, and said, "I'm hoping there will be a beauty contest today."

Wu Yongkang laughed and said, "Then no one dares to compete with Lord Shen." What do you mean, "dare"? No one can! You really don't know how to talk. You deserve to be just Wu Hui's lackey.

"It's an honor to meet Lord Shen here today," Bianpian said, bowing to me.

I returned the greeting: "I heard this place is full of poetic charm, and at the invitation of a friend, I came here to investigate. I never expected to meet you all here. It seems we are kindred spirits, even though we are far apart." I was blatantly lying.

Flat-faced, with a good temper, replied insincerely, "Lord Shen is joking."

"Lord Li, Lord Wu, won't you introduce me to some unfamiliar faces?" I asked meaningfully, glancing at the person who hadn't looked at me the whole time.

"I apologize for my rudeness." The man with the flat face pointed to the man on my left and said, "This is Lord Peng Hai, currently serving as a steward in the Imperial Study."

"Greetings, Lord Peng!" I greeted him with a fist and palm salute.

"Greetings, Lord Shen." The man returned the greeting rudely while drinking tea.

I looked at him and thought, "Pshaw! You're not even good-looking enough to look down on me, so I don't even look down on you!"

The man pointed to the man on my right and said, "This is Su Cheng's talented man, and also the Su Keji Master whom the Prime Minister brought back this time. He is now working under the Prime Minister and has a bright future."

"Greetings, Lord Su." I sized him up; he had a decent appearance. Could it be that Chou Qian was planning to dump Qian Qing and get together with this little guy?

Suzhou Technology is a good name, a primary productive force.

"Greetings, Lord Shen." We smiled at each other, our first impression of each other was quite good.

The waiter brought me my personal mount (JI). Six people shared one table.

Peng Hai seems to dislike me, but I don't mind. There are many people in the court who are jealous of me. If I took them all seriously, I would be exhausted.

He glanced at my mount and said, "Lord Shen, what a peculiar hobby! Even your chair has to be cushioned!"

I laughed at him, not taking inferior people seriously (spending too much time with Wu Hui had picked up many of his bad habits).

I stretched out my little hand, which I often use to soak in milk, and looked it over from left to right, saying, "There's nothing I can do. People have delicate skin, and I'm worried that this crudely made furniture will rub against their sensitive skin."

"Neither male nor female." Peng Hai said with a straight face, ready to cut off the line at any moment.

Flat-faced looked at me sheepishly, then winked at Peng Hai.

Suzhou Technology Group is wavering after its recent entry into the WTO, unsure of which side to support. They've probably heard bad rumors about me.

Wu Yongkang smiled nonchalantly, "It's common knowledge in the court that Lord Shen is delicate. Let alone a chair, even if the floor were covered with soft carpets, my Dongqing would be happy to support such a capable minister who can rival the King of Xifeng in handsomeness."

"I dare not accept such an award from Lord Wu." As expected of Wu Hui's subordinate, he has good judgment. I toasted him with tea instead of wine.

Peng Hai said, "Can being handsome put food on the table?"

"Of course, at least when they were sold, the price was higher than some people's."

Peng Hai put down his teacup, his face now smoothed out, and said, "I'm not about to be sold off!"
