TN | The Malicious Empress

Chapter 25: Sneering

Marie was eating the snacks in relish when she looked up and saw Jennie's cold and chilly look, as if it was a noble lady in a high position having a killing intention. In that moment, Marie seemed to have seen Shen Xin's shadow. Shen Xin was someone who had killed others and seen bloodshed in the battlefield thus when he became angry, the ferocious came from his bones. At this moment the look in Jennie's eyes was exactly the same as Shen Xin's.

She almost choked on a snack and had to swallow it down strenuously before asking carefully, "Is Young Lady uncomfortable anywhere?"

"No." Jennie's eyes drooped, "Was thinking about some things."

Fu Jong Kai would also be present in today's Chrysanthemum banquet. Not only Fu Jong Kai, there would also be several brothers of Fu Jong Kai who would be present. There were currently nine princes with each their own merits, thus each of them had their own camp. But Fu Jong Kai had the most harmless appearance and had slightly better relationship with the Crown Prince's faction.

Who knew that at the end the Crown Prince was oust and Fu Jong Kai was the heir apparent? She did not intend to help the Crown Prince as the Imperial Family of Ming Qi was the most ruthless. They see all those vessel families whose ancestors help to found the empire as an old dogs. It was these dogs had help them to hunt down the rabbit but when the rabbit was in the bag, they were worried that their dogs would kill them so they drain the dogs to the last drop of blood before killing and cooking them.

The world was heartless. The heir to the throne was not just. So on what basis was there to require the loyalty of everyone?

Why not watch how a dog would bite another dog? Jennie's lips slightly hooked up.

There was a number of noble family who had arrived at Yan Bei Tang.

Although in today's academy examinations would not differentiate males between females, the banquet divided the guests by female and male seats. At the male seats, many youths and their father quickly greeted one another as it was natural to build up relationships between families to support one another. As these youths would one day take over their fathers to support the entire family, more friends were always beneficial.

The female side would not frequently meet up as the males thus the women often gossip among themselves and the young ladies would have their fixed group of friends. As they would chat together in every three to five days, they were both nervous and looking forward to the Chrysanthemum banquet. They would also occasionally look up and glance across the area to see one's admired youth.

Yi Pei Lan fiddled with some small flowers as she said, "Do you all have confidence in the academy examinations today?"

"I do not have." The female beside her smiled, "There are so many people and I am mediocre at best thus I am really scared. I only help that later I would not be drawn out or chosen in a challenge by anyone. I don't seek to stand out and only not to make a fool of myself."

Yi Pei Lan 's mouth twitched, "One must at least try. As everyone know, His Highness Prince Kai would also be present and moreover your admired Young Master Lee would also be here. The Young Master of the Lee family's language skills are exceptionally outstanding and would definitely come on the stage. Shouldn't you take this opportunity to perform well?"

The young female pushed Yi Pei Lan as her face revealed some shyness, "Don't say nonsense."

Jiang Xiao Xuan heard what was said and smiled, "Exactly. Bai Wei, you must not be afraid. If one where to say about making a fool of oneself, there would still be the Shen family's number five to be at the end of the spectrum. Seeing that, you are much better than her."

"Precisely." Yi Pei Lan also smiled in amusement, "During the yearly academy examinations, that Fifth Shen would be responsible for provoking laughter and it is tough for her to still come every year. When I think about how she is going to show off her work this year, I would want to laugh out. Really don't know that she would wear again. Would it be like last year's terribly bright red dress with purple gold hairpin?"

A number of young females started giggling.

"Enough already." Feng Rose suddenly open her mouth, "What so funny about it?"

Yi Pei Lan was surprise for a moment before she said, "Feng Rose, you seemed very strange recently. Why are you so good with that fool?"

Rose had a look of anger and was about to speak when she heard someone speaking from the other side, "The Furens of Shen family have arrived."
