“What conditions?”
Princess Resilia asked with a bright smile.
“Do not ever show off. And don’t try to deliberately look good to Emperor Rinel.”
“What kind of nonsense is that? I’m going there to look good!”
She put her hands on her hips and shouted, flaunting her beauty.
“Just keep quiet and behave.”
Prince Tesler said, his face turning serious.
“Why? It would be nice to have an opportunity to get close to the emperor by talking.”
“No, you just show your face.”
“What?”
“Just do that, and you’ve half succeeded. If you can’t do that, stay in the royal palace.”
Prince Tesler put down the tea cup he was holding and rose from his chair.
“What will you do?”
Although she couldn’t accept her brother’s words, she had to follow his opinion to go to the Lapion Empire.
“I will keep quiet. After all, everything works with my face.”
Princess Resilia smiled with satisfaction, imagining the royal people of the Lapion Empire admiring her beauty.
“People will be gasping to be friendly with me if I just give a slight smile, right? Let’s go.”
She looped her arm through Prince Tesler’s, grinning confidently.
“You just need to properly enter the eyes of Emperor Rinel. Observe well how Zelda treats the emperor.”
“Oh my, are you telling me to follow Zelda? That girl with no charm and as rigid as wood?”
“How do you know? Whether Zelda is like a piece of wood or not.”
“I’ve seen her for a year or two? You can tell at a glance. She’s not the type men like. If someone likes Zelda’s style, he’s a madman.”
Princess Resilia asserted.
“…You have to get into the eyes of that madman.”
Prince Tesler chuckled softly at her words.
“Huh? What did you say? I didn’t hear it.”
“No, it’s nothing. Anyway, Resil, be careful with your words as soon as you set foot in the Lapion Palace. Understand?”
“Oh really, how many times do I have to say it! But, brother, I don’t have to be careful with Zelda, do I?”
“Sigh, I don’t know. Do as you please. Since when have you ever been careful with her?”
The two of them left the office side by side.
“I can leave right away. I told them to load my luggage on the carriage earlier!”
Princess Resilia said as she walked down the stairs.
“You’re quick with such things. Resil, you go down first.”
Prince Tesler took his arm out of her grip.
“Why?”
“I have somewhere to go.”
“Okay. Then I will go to the carriage first, so hurry up.”
“Alright.”
Princess Resilia went down the stairs, chatting in an excited voice with her maid.
He watched his little sister’s back, turned to look at his escort knight, Ken, grinned, and said.
“I have to tell Bonis that I’m going to see Zelda, right?”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]I arrived at the main palace office with my servants.
This morning, I received a message from the chief servant that Emperor Rinel wanted me to come to the main palace by 3 o’clock.
According to the chief servant who had come to deliver the message to the empress’s palace, there was something for me and the other wives to discuss about the ‘Continental Hunting Competition’.
I thought I would have to hear the details directly from Rinel.
“Her Majesty the Empress has arrived!”
Chief servant Stian opened the office door himself and announced my arrival.
Four wives were already inside the office.
And there he was, sitting among them.
Rinel saw me, curled the corner of his mouth, and then immediately changed to a blank expression.
He hadn’t forgotten my request last night and was carrying it out immediately.
As soon as he greeted me with his cold, icy expression, I strangely felt a pinch in my heart.
It was obviously just an act, but it didn’t feel good.
I glanced at the faces of the greeting wives.
I felt nervous thinking that there might be a spy for Prince Tesler among them.
“You were all early, I wasn’t late.”
I said as I walked towards him.
“Everyone else probably came early because they wanted to see me. You, the Empress, don’t have such feelings, so you came on time.”
He replied with a very dry expression.
“!”
What’s with this guy?
I told him not to show excessive affection in front of others, but when did I tell him to be so blunt?
While I was slightly flustered, he twitched the corner of his mouth and sent me a look that said, ‘Aren’t I acting well?’
I think you’re overdoing the acting?
I frowned and sat down next to him.
Only the wives and Rinel’s confidant, SecretaryGeneral Raphael, were in the office.
A few of the main viceroys seemed to be present, but apparently, there was no need for them to be there.
“Have you decided to participate in the Continental Hunting Contest?”
When I asked Rinel, he nodded lightly.
“Let’s discuss it after everyone has heard the explanation. Raphael.”
Rinel gestured to the secretary holding the documents.
“Yes, Your Majesty. I will briefly explain about the Continental Hunting Contest.”
Raphael cleared his throat and continued.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
