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

Chapter 95 Turning the Tables to Become King (8)

Before he could speak, the beautiful woman slowly stood up, her steps rippled, and walked to Mu Changxue.

He chuckled softly, his critical gaze sweeping over her, his long nail guards brushing against the woman's smooth chin.

"Mu Changxue, who do you think you are?"

Mu Changxue was immediately shocked, her face flushed as she looked at the pointing and whispering gazes around her.

"Sister, what are you doing? I..."

"Fine, I'm not going to listen to you." With a look of disgust, Shen Yun lowered her hand and said indifferently, "Before we got married, I was the legitimate wife and you were the concubine. Now, I am the wife and you are the concubine. What, you like to flaunt yourself in front of everyone, and now you want to drag me along? Did you get your brain caught in a door the other day?"

Without even looking at her face, I could tell what she was feeling.

It probably just wants to find a hole to bury itself properly, and maybe make a little doll out of it.

"What the Empress said is probably..."

Shen Yun interrupted him, "Your Majesty, no matter how much you favor your concubines, etiquette cannot be disregarded. Do you want the whole world to think that there is no difference between legitimate and illegitimate wives and concubines, and that they should be treated as equals?"

Upon hearing this, the ladies who had come to the banquet immediately changed their expressions. These words struck a chord with them. They were all legal wives, but some had no choice but to bring their concubine daughters with them. They were already unhappy, but if the emperor also believed that there was no difference between legal wives and concubines, how could they have a good life in the future?

She had intended to embarrass her in front of everyone, but unexpectedly, she was the one who ended up losing face. Naturally, Mu Changxue was unhappy. She looked at the man sitting at the head of the table with dissatisfaction, only to find that his gaze was fixed on the person she hated the most.

Mu Changxue's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that Liu Lang had taken a liking to her?

This is not a good sign.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Yuliu glanced at Mu Changxue with a dangerous look in his eyes, secretly annoyed that she was so tactless. He thought she was a kind and understanding person, but he didn't expect her to be as stupid as a pig. If it were in the dark, she would use any underhanded tricks, but she insisted on bringing things out into the open. Now he couldn't protect her anymore.

"Since Xuefei spoke disrespectfully, she is confined to her quarters for three months."

The punishment seemed lenient to everyone else, but Shen Yun knew that for Mu Changxue, these three months had been a living hell.

She wasn't the only concubine in the harem. Obviously, even if she was confined, Xia Yuliu wouldn't be a saint for her sake. Even if she wasn't confined, he would still treat everyone equally. She used to rely on her favor to bully others in countless ways. Now that she's confined, who knows how many people want to tear her apart?

Mu Changxue was about to retort when she heard this, but she stopped after seeing the cold gaze and gave her a hateful look before giving up.

Today is probably the most humiliating day she has ever been since becoming a concubine.

The chime bells played the tune "Qing Ping Yue". The dancers wore light blue, waist-cinching, long-sleeved dance costumes. Sometimes they twirled and their skirts fluttered, and sometimes they flicked their sleeves lightly. The long sleeves were forcefully flung out and gently pulled back, just enough to cover the area below their eyes, making their eyes appear even more watery.

Many bells and jade pendants hung from her slender waist, which jingled as she spun around.

After the dance, the beauty, drenched in sweat, looked up. Shen Yun raised an eyebrow, his eyes and brows immediately filled with joy. "Come stand in front."

The dancer standing at the front was surprised to hear this, and it took her a while to realize that she was being talked about. She immediately felt uneasy. Although the empress seemed to have no power, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. If the empress wanted to punish her, she would have no way to escape.

"What's your name?"

"This servant is Feng Yu, a dancer from the dance hall." Feng Yu? What a nice name. Shen Yun searched his mind for a long time before remembering who this person was. Although it's true that Xia Yuliu and Mu Changxue are destined to be together, at least that's how the plot goes. But a smooth journey is too boring. Feng Yu is a catalyst for the two to deepen their feelings for each other.

It's basically a story about a scumbag who gets bored with the old and finds out that the old was the best.

"A fine name, quite fitting for your appearance. Would you be willing to stay in the palace to serve the Emperor?" Shen Yun asked calmly. "What does Your Majesty think?"

Xia Yuliu suppressed his strange feelings and looked at Feng Yu. Her face was gentle and her figure was alluring; she was indeed a rare beauty. "Since the Empress has spoken, how could I refuse, Feng Yu?" He read her name carefully. "In that case, you shall be Consort Feng and move into Lan Yue Pavilion."

Shen Yun didn't stay idle with the dancers afterward either. She secretly arranged for them to be placed in a place where Xia Yuliu could easily see them. She was truly the most virtuous and kind empress in history.

Seeing her nonchalant actions, Xia Yuliu felt increasingly strange, even a little angry, but she couldn't find the reason for it, so she could only attribute it to the punishment she had given Mu Changxue that day.

However, by doing this, her reputation for virtue truly spread.

As the banquet drew to a close, Shen Yun made an excuse to leave, since the rest of the show was no longer her responsibility.

When Feng Yu and Mu Changxue meet, they might become quite a handful.

Faced with Chen Yun's action, all 2345 could do was type "666" on the screen. He had always thought his host was the kind of reclusive master, but he didn't expect him to be so good at palace intrigue.

"Hey dog, I need to talk to you about something." Shen Yun suddenly said, remembering someone.

2345's heart skipped a beat. Generally speaking, the host rarely spoke to it like this, especially in such a tone. It said it was discussing, but it was actually a done deal. It was quite hesitant. If it agreed, it might not have a good ending, but if it refused, it would definitely not have a good ending.

What are you doing?

"Don't you find Xia Yuyan annoying?" The tone was filled with nasty disgust.

[No... I don't think so.] It glanced at the screen furtively. The host wouldn't be planning to kill Xia Yuyan, would he? Probably not.

"So what do you think of Xia Yuliu?"

"What a scumbag," 2345 said without hesitation.

"I just did something."

2345 was already confused by these disjointed words. [What?]

"Xia Yuliu may not be able to have children in the future." As if realizing that his wording was inaccurate, Shen Yun repeated, "He will definitely not be able to have an erection in the future."

2345 remained silent for a long time, then began to reflect on itself. It hadn't seen what its host had done at all. What was it doing during the banquet? Oh, right, it was watching a large-scale historical romance drama.

【So you still let him appoint so many concubines?】2345 suddenly felt sorry for Xia Yuliu, although from its perspective it shouldn't think that way.

How vicious could they be? Just when I was enjoying the moment, this devastating news struck like a bolt from the blue.
