I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 86: My mother, she's already asleep

She must be lying.

Chu Shao's eyes curved, bringing a smile like the spring mountains. "Besides, the flower looks even prettier and brighter on your hair."

Xiao Jin was choked up for a moment.

After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Princess, where did you learn this kind of talk?"

Chu Shao was slightly stunned and surprised, "Why do you know that? It's just something I learned elsewhere."

"Because it's too cheesy."

"Your highness, what does 'cheesy' mean?" Chu Shao frowned, not understanding.

Xiao Jin touched the flower on her head and gave a matter-of-fact evaluation, "It has a taste of ancient court romance novels."

Chu Shao smiled, "I don't understand."

Xiao Jin thought to herself, "Good, if she really understood, it would be like two villagers meeting each other." Despite this, she changed her wording and explained, "It means that it sounds like the phrases written in those romance novels."

Chu Shao smiled, "Oh, I see."

"Your highness is really insightful. Recently, Zi Ling has been reading these novels, and I found them interesting, so I borrowed them to read," Chu Shao explained.

Xiao Jin was a bit curious about what kind of novels they were that made Chu Shao interested. So she asked.

Chu Shao replied, "The Empress's Biography, The Jia Nan Princess, and Coral on the Palm."

"..."

Xiao Jin paused and said, "The first two, I can see what they are about. But the last one suddenly changes the style."

Chu Shao explained a bit, "The protagonist of this novel is a illegitimate daughter of a noble family. She was supposed to die, but instead she went back in time to her youth. Because she knew what happened in her previous life, she worked hard to change things in this life and eventually became a queen."

Xiao Jin fell silent.

It was nothing worth pitying over, not like it was the novel "Rebirth of the Peerless Poisonous Consort" or "Useless Shu Daughter: Cold-hearted Empress Seizes the Affections of the Emperor"?

Xiao Jin's face was calm as she gave her opinion, "It sounds good, but the development is a bit too cliche."

Chu Shao smiled at Xiao Jin and whispered, "Is that so? It seems that Your Highness and I are the same, not believing that life can be relived."

Xiao Jin nodded, "If everyone could relive their life, then wouldn't gaining or losing in the world become meaningless?"

Chu Shao continued to smile, but her eyes drooped slightly as if there was a layer of mist, "What Your Highness says is true, but I am curious about one thing."

Xiao Jin nodded and gestured for Chu Shao to continue.

Chu Shao smiled faintly, "If you could relive your life, would Your Highness still be the same as now? If not, what would you want to do?"

Xiao Jin thought to herself, if she could relive her life, she definitely wouldn't be reading this outdated dog-blood web novel.

However, she was surrounded by soft sunlight and flower petals floating in the breeze.

As the words were about to leave her lips, what she said was, "If I could relive my life, I would still want to sit here and enjoy the sun, watch these flowers bloom and float away."
