"No, but please cooperate with me. The Emperor said that you would cooperate. "
She didn't expect that she had guessed it right. Since that was the case, she would accompany her in this drama to see what the 'emperor' behind the scenes actually wanted to do.
"Royal brother, although Shopkeeper Jin is very intelligent, she is still a child's mother after all. If Royal brother insists on doing so, I'm afraid the whole world will laugh at her. "Historically, the emperors of our Tian Qi Empire have always married the daughters of ministers or nobles of the imperial court as concubines. As the emperors, they should be the ones to take the lead."
"Royal brother, I know Miss Jin because of you. Why is it that Miss Jin is so disrespectful to you?"
Every word of "Your Majesty" pierced Nangong Jue's heart. He didn't think that bringing his brother to the Moon Pavilion would turn out to be a weakness of his brother's.
Apparently, he had come prepared.
He definitely wasn't doing it to embarrass him. The cold and strict Emperor in front of him made him feel so unfamiliar. Since when did his royal brother reach such a terrifying stage?

The 'emperor' looked at the ministers majestically and walked to the center once again. It was as if he had nothing to do with the conversation he had with Jin Xiaoyi.
Although she didn't know who the fake emperor was playing out, she admired him as well. He was unhurried when facing these people, and his actions and even the way he spoke were no different from the real emperor. Except that his eyes lacked that trace of gentleness.
Today, the flowers weren't so boring either.
"Little girl, let's not go. We'll stay and watch the show."
"Huh?" The little girl frowned. Watching a show, what kind of show was there to watch? His mother had said the same thing when she came out, but he hadn't seen anything until now. He saw a group of ministers kneeling on the ground, looking terrified as they faced this man called the Emperor.
It was as if every move he made would affect everyone here.
However, since mother said to stay, then she might as well.
"My dear officials are very interested, there are so many people gathered in this small courtyard admiring the flowers, but instead of appreciating the flowers, they are talking about how I'm not here. Do you think my beloved officials think that my life has reached such a chaotic stage and needs your families to remind them?"
"We are all terrified!"
The Emperor coldly swept his gaze over the crowd. The bodies of these ministers were trembling violently. It seemed that they had already realized that they had done something wrong.
"Enough, I don't want to bother with you guys today." Appreciate the flowers, little brother. Since this is the first time I'm admiring a flower, I should at least prepare some refreshments, right? "
Nangong Jue came back to his senses.
He realized that he had underestimated his opponent before.
Since when did the emperor become so imposing? Standing with him, he always felt a chill run down his spine, and his body often trembled.
"Royal brother, chendi has already prepared tea."
This time, Nangong Jue was so smart that he didn't bring up the matter of asking the Emperor to find a woman among the ministers' daughters and bring her to the palace.
He could already feel that the Emperor did not come here to admire the flowers.
As the Emperor took his seat, the others slowly followed suit.
Jin Xiaoyi also got a good seat, which attracted the jealousy of others.
"Look at that woman, it's all because of her. She's obviously so happy, but she became like this just because of this woman?"
"Yeah, I really don't know what's going on. Why did the Emperor let that woman into the harem? "
"This woman is really disgusting."
At this moment, the group of so-called beauties were all looking at Jin Xiaoyi and discussing with each other.
In fact, quite a few of them had gone to the Moon Pavilion to watch the performance. They had once been flustered by the performance, but they had always scoffed at it. Of course, they knew they wouldn't be able to resist the charm of such a show, but they still tried their best to speak maliciously.
Although the crowd was noisy, Jin Xiaoyi could clearly hear their voices.
She took a sip of the tea in her cup.
Ye Zichen swept his gaze over those people.
The sharpness and coldness of the sword caused the bodies of those people to tremble.
"He's looking at us."
"Yeah, those eyes are so scary. Is she going to eat us? "
"Ladies, do you have any objections to me? If you have anything to say, you can just say it to me. There's no need to talk about it at the back. "
Jin Xiaoyi slowly walked to the front of those noble young ladies with lowered eyes and a smile on his face. However, that smile was like an asura from hell. Those noble ladies were instantly dumbfounded.
One of them awkwardly stood up and let out a few hollow laughs.
"Miss Jin, what are you saying? We don't have that intention."
One of the ladies quickly explained.
The other noble ladies also started chattering.
"Miss, all of you should be well-aware of whether or not I'm talking about it."
Avoiding the ladies of the rich families, Jin Xiaoyi brought Little Mu to the other side.
Watching Jin Xiaosu leave, those noble ladies let out a sigh of relief.
Yanhong, who had been in a conflict with Jin Xiao Ai a while ago, showed up again. She looked at the direction Jin Xiao Ai had left with a look of unwillingness and spat in disdain.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at all of you. It's just a seductress, and one by one you're still afraid of her. What, can she eat people? "
"Madam Yanhong, if you were so amazing, why didn't you just rush up to hire a wet nurse for you?"
It was unknown who said that, but his captivating red face immediately turned green.
"Hmph, if I don't tell you, you'll never be able to fight that woman."
After saying that, she twisted her body and walked away. Everyone laughed at her.
On the other side, the ministers were all accompanying the emperor. King An, Nangong Jue was always by his side.
No one dared to speak first, carefully observing the emperor's expression. It was impossible to see any emotions on his face. He didn't say anything, but slowly paced up and down. This way, it made the others feel even more terrified.
"Lord Min, I remember you don't have a good relationship with King An. Why did you come here today as well? Did you make up overnight?"
The Emperor held a flower and sniffed at it. His slender fingers flicked the dew on the petal as he spoke indifferently.
The official who was called "Lord Min" stiffened and his face turned ashen.
He knew what this meant. No one could escape from the emperor's eyes, no one could escape.
The other officials also felt the emperor's aura.
The atmosphere was tense, and there was a sense of tension in the air.
They thought the Emperor was their chess piece, but who was that chess piece?
"Royal brother, the ceremony today really isn't very good. I'm going back to the palace, you all can take your time to admire the flowers."
Before Nangong Jue could react, the emperor had already led his group of male pets out. There was another wave of noise.
Not long after the emperor returned to the palace, the viewing of the flowers ended.
Everyone left with different thoughts. Everyone was on tenterhooks. They didn't know if they'd become the emperor's target or not, but how would they know that the fake emperor was just giving them a warning?
Jin Xiaolei had thought that there would be a more lively scene, but instead of men and women admiring the flowers separately, she found herself in trouble instead.
A woman's jealousy was really frightening. Luckily, she couldn't possibly become the empress. If she really did become the empress or concubine today, the world would probably fall into chaos.
Speaking of which, since the person who came today was the fake emperor, then where did the real emperor go? She had something else to ask.
"Little girl, you and your Uncle Feng are waiting for mother over there. Mother has something to do, so she'll be back soon."
With that, Jin Xiaoyi headed in the direction of the departure carriage of the 'emperor'.
"Mistress, your subordinate has already followed your instructions and put up a show of force for King An and the others."
On the carriage, the man in the red robe was especially eye-catching.
The man propped his chin up and looked outside the curtain of the carriage.
His fingers were constantly making small movements.
"Nan Gong Jue, the reason you set up this trap today was for that woman, right? Hmph, coveting my woman, he truly does not know the limits of the world. He thought that I did not know anything, so he decided to take advantage of this opportunity to uproot them. "
"Yes."
The sound of footsteps could be heard. Although it was very light, it was nothing difficult for a martial artist like Jade Asura.
He dodged to the back of the carriage and pulled the curtain.
Not long later, Jin Xiao Ai ran over.
"This humble woman pays her respects to the Emperor."
The fake emperor who was wearing a dragon robe tidied his clothes, opened the curtain and coldly said: "Come here, what's the matter, Miss Jin?"
"This humble woman just wanted to ask where I can go if I want to find the emperor. This humble woman will immediately tell the emperor the news."
Jin Xiao Ai didn't directly name the false emperor. She believed that he would understand.
Sure enough, the fake emperor took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gave it to Jin Xiaoye.
"If you want to meet with me, hand this over to the guards at the entrance. I will naturally look for you."
With that, the horse galloped away.
When the carriage left, Jin Xiaoyi could vaguely see a pair of red sleeves hanging on the back of the carriage. That corner was so familiar, where had she seen it before?
For a moment, she couldn't remember, but Jin Xiaoyi didn't mind at all. She went back to Little Shuang and Feng Liancheng's side, and the three of them went back to the Master Wind Listening Moon Pavilion.
She wasn't too clear on the identities of those people today, but since the fake emperor had come, he probably knew of their identities.
However, like this, she came here today in vain. This viewing of flowers was truly boring.
If she knew it would be like this, she might as well stay in the Wind Listening Moon Pavilion.
She began to miss the life in the Moon Pavilion.
If it was possible, she really wished that she could continue being this carefree.
"Mother, that prince just sent someone to bring you a box of snacks, saying it was special rose paste. Not only is it tasty, but it also has a beauty effect. "
"Rose Ointment? "What the hell is that?"
This was the first time she had heard of Rose Ointment.
Jin Xiaoyu took the box and opened it. Inside, there were several snacks arranged neatly. The color was exactly the color of a rose, and the smell was very fragrant.
"It's too tasty, I don't really like it. Take it back and give it to the others to eat."
The little girl shook her head and said helplessly, "Mother really is heartless. I made it myself."
That prince?
Jin Xiao Ai thought it was incredible. How could a dignified prince personally make a snack?
However, if it was really him who made it, it wouldn't be good if he didn't even eat a single mouthful.
