To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 165
How dare you refer to the Empress as ‘anyone’?
Especially in front of all these nobles.
An awkward silence filled the corridor, cold and tense. The knight, realizing his mistake, lowered his head with a troubled expression—but it was already too late.
The Empress’s lips curled upward ever so slightly. At the same moment, Duke Hedeck beside her shouted indignantly,
“Do you even know who stands before you to speak so brazenly!”
“I apologize, Your Grace… However, His Imperial Majesty strictly ordered that no one be admitted until he gives his permission.”
But when the knight replied once more, clearly distressed, the Empress tightened her grip on her dress.
Her sharply manicured nails dug into her palms through the thin, shimmering fabric—but she felt no pain whatsoever.
Once again, in this precarious situation, she had been officially labeled as ‘anyone,’ unworthy of meeting the Emperor. The nobles beside her fell silent, their eyes fixed on her.
Forcing down the heat rising to her cheeks, the Empress managed a bright, graceful smile.
“It seems His Majesty is deeply occupied with both public and private matters. I shall go meet the Crown Prince to verify this matter myself. In the meantime, I suggest you all investigate the situation as well. Meeting His Majesty will have to wait for later.”
Having suffered humiliation twice already at the hands of these stubborn knights, she had just decided there was no point in persisting—when a familiar voice rang out from the corridor half a floor above.
“I pay my respects to Your Imperial Majesty. What brings you here?”
“Chief Steward!”
The Empress greeted him in a noticeably elevated tone. Finally, color returned to her face, and her previously elegant demeanor regained its authority.
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.”
