Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 33 A Lifetime of Glory and Peace (2)

Gu Rong'an, this name is really quite hasty. Shen Yun suspected that the late emperor chose this name to save himself the trouble of even choosing a title.

“The late emperor must have been sexist,” Shen Yun asserted.

2345 looked puzzled. "Why?" Shen Yun kindly explained, "Look, my brother's name is Gu Changjin, which sounds nice, but it becomes Gu Rong'an in my name. Isn't that sexism?"

2345, with an indifferent expression, said, "Host, do you really think Rong An is an unpleasant name? The female lead's name is Hong Zhaodi."

Shen Yun: "...Actually, I suddenly feel that the name Rong An sounds a bit rustic at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it is quite auspicious."

The maidservant, carrying a food box, looked at her with some concern. "Princess, this is just some food I brought from the Imperial Kitchen." Normally, after something like this, the princess would have started smashing things long ago. Why is she so quiet today?

"Xiaoyue, help me change my clothes." Shen Yun leaned lazily against the dressing table, holding a warm eight-treasure cake in her hand, and then took a bite.

The original owner was a normal woman, but ever since Nangong Yu brought Zhao Di back, she has become somewhat abnormal, and even deliberately imitates Zhao Di's appearance.

Of course, braids are not acceptable.

However, her current clothes are really shabby. The original owner was extremely beautiful, but dressed in plain clothes, even her beautiful face paled in comparison.

Xiaoyue thought she had misheard. After all, the princess had suddenly taken a liking to simple clothes, and the maids couldn't stop her. Now, the princess had finally come to her senses.

Xiaoyue was deeply moved and took a light gold butterfly-patterned floor-length dress. She then styled her hair into a flying fairy bun and adorned it with two identical glass plum blossom hairpins. She also wore a flower decoration on her forehead and applied vermilion lip rouge to her lips.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Shen Yun smiled with satisfaction. As expected, Xiao Yue's cooking skills were truly exceptional.

"Where is my elder brother at this time?"

Xiaoyue looked up in surprise, but quickly composed herself. "Princess, the Emperor should be in the Imperial Study at this time."

Gu Changjin has always been a diligent and benevolent emperor, but there is one problem: he has no one in his harem.

It wouldn't be accurate to say she didn't, since she did live in the harem.

However, since he was already in his mid-twenties, Shen Yun seriously doubted whether her imperial brother was attracted to men.

She was quite curious about that.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun tidied herself up and then asked Xiao Yue to wait in the palace while she went to the Imperial Study alone.

There were guards outside the imperial study. When the guards saw the person coming, they immediately knelt down and said, "Greetings, Princess Zhu."

"No need for formalities. I have important business with my elder brother." Shen Yun put on an arrogant and domineering demeanor with some effort. She couldn't break character. In the previous world, Ye Zi was indifferent to everyone, so it didn't matter. But it's different here. The original owner liked Nangong Yu to the point of being willing to give up her life, at least that's how it is now.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is currently reviewing memorials. Would you please come back later?" The guard was quite troubled, knowing that the Emperor was most averse to being disturbed when he was in the Imperial Study.

Shen Yun slightly raised her chin, her brows showing impatience. "I order you to go in and report to my brother. If he gets angry, just say that I forced you."

The guard immediately knelt down, saying, "This humble servant dares not."

Shen Yun touched her cheek. She was, after all, a stunningly beautiful woman, so how could she have scared someone to their knees? Thinking this, she decided to show her gentle and generous side.

She pulled a glass plum blossom hairpin from her hair; the shimmering glass beads jingled playfully. She gripped the hairpin tightly, then with lightning speed pressed it against a guard's neck. "Go in and report! If you don't, I'll kill you right now!"

The guard trembled involuntarily as he saw the sword pressed against his neck, then put on a brave face, saying, "Even if Your Highness wants to kill me, I will not do anything against my duty."

Shen Yun rolled her eyes and changed her words, "If you don't go in and report, I will tell my brother that you have assaulted me."

The captured guard's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets.

Princess Rong'an was a rare beauty in the palace, with an exquisite and stunning appearance that was unparalleled in the world. However, her temper, as stubborn as a rock in a latrine, was also well-known.

The servants were utterly despondent. The arrogant and domineering princess had just added another day to her list of crimes. She was utterly shameless.

Just as Shen Yun was about to continue, the tightly closed door finally opened, and a young eunuch carrying a whisk came out.

The young eunuch bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, please come in. His Majesty has instructed me to escort you inside."

Shen Yun awkwardly withdrew her hand from the hairpin, then calmly put it into her sleeve, glared at the guard, and slowly walked in.

The young eunuch closed the door tightly after Princess Rong'an went inside. He stood up straight, flicked his whisk, and looked with some sympathy at the guard who had been threatened and was practically turned to stone.

Gu Changjin was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, his long black hair was tied up with a dark jade crown, his expression was indifferent, and his cold eyes were looking at her helplessly.

Although they are siblings, they look nothing alike. Rong An has a flamboyant and delicate beauty that is extremely aggressive, while Gu Changjin is cold and aloof, seemingly radiating a chilling aura. This is probably why no one dares to urge him on, even though he has no concubines.

[Beep beep beep! Mission objective detected.]

"There's no one inside." Shen Yun was shocked. Where did this mission target come from? Don't underestimate her just because she's not well-educated.

[A dog relying on its master's power: protecting Gu Changjin's lifelong peace and well-being.]

"A dog relying on its master's power." Shen Yun gritted his teeth, enunciating each word clearly, "Explain to me who the dog is."

2345 dodged the question, saying, "Haha, don't worry about such details. The host is destined for great things."

Shen Yun rolled her eyes without any regard for her image, "Coward."

"However, what's going on with Gu Changjin? Doesn't this overlap with my mission?" Although in Shen Yun's mind, this system has always been synonymous with useless, she felt that even a dog like this wouldn't make such a mistake that even an idiot wouldn't.

2345 paused, then realized, "Oh right, they overlap, but wait..."

It thought for a long time, then opened its two round little eyes, blinked twice, and said, "As the plot unfolds, the host will naturally find out."

This was clearly an excuse. Shen Yun was speechless. Others could dominate the world with just a system, while she was constantly being held back.
