Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

"Of course!"

Shu Jiao clapped her hands lightly, "My distant relative, after living off this woman for so long, how could he bear to leave? He absolutely refuses to give up!"

“He pulled out a white silk ribbon and said that if the courtesan insisted on a divorce, he would hang himself at the door with the white silk ribbon.”

Emperor Jiaheng: ...

Sun Wenzhong: ? ? ?

what?

They considered themselves to have heard all sorts of gossip in Beijing, but this was the first time they had ever heard of something so absurd.

Is this right?

Will this work?

"Tsk~"

Emperor Jiaheng curled his lip in disdain, "A perfectly healthy person with hands and feet, why does he have to live off a woman? And what happened next? Couldn't the whole family of five have lived together?"

"No, they divorced in the end."

Shu Jiao said crisply.

Hey?

Upon hearing this, both Emperor Jiaheng and Sun Wenzhong were somewhat puzzled.

They were practically hanging themselves, so how did they manage to get a divorce later?

Suspended by gossip, Sun Wenzhong, without waiting for Emperor Jiaheng's signal, slipped another piece of gold into Shu Jiao's hand.

Shu Jiao pinched it a couple of times, then skillfully stuffed it into her sleeve, and laughed, "That's easy. That courtesan later introduced my distant relative to another friend who wanted to have a child."

"That friend is quite well-off."

"They got divorced, and the relative immediately moved in with someone else. He's being fed and clothed and living a very comfortable life."

"It's just that the public opinion isn't very good."

Bad reputation?

It's good that the public opinion is bad!

Emperor Jiaheng shook his head in astonishment and exclaimed with genuine emotion, "What a talent!"

A courtesan who conceives through artificial insemination, a true love who unexpectedly becomes a father, a relative who only wants to live off a woman, and finally, a friend who comes along to take over...

If I could see him in person, I wouldn't believe what a cheerful emperor he would be.

"You're good."

Emperor Jiaheng's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Shu Jiao.

His skill in telling gossip far surpassed that of Sun Wenzhong. His delivery was so captivating, vivid, and engaging that he couldn't stop listening.

There was no comparison, so he stopped talking.

but now……

Sun Wenzhong still needs to practice!

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Shu Jiao's eyes curved slightly as she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this morning, Consort Xian and Consort Yi had a quarrel. I heard that if it weren't for the Empress's mediation, the two consorts would have almost come to blows."

Ok?

Is there such a thing?

Emperor Jiaheng raised his eyes and looked at Sun Wenzhong.

Sun Wenzhong shook his head almost imperceptibly, meaning that he had not yet received the news, and guessed that it happened when Emperor Jiaheng was holding court.

"what happened?"

As Emperor Jiaheng asked the question, he slowly withdrew his hand from the memorial.

"Without me to keep her entertained, Consort Yi must not have slept well last night, as she looks haggard. Consort Xian insists that Consort Yi pushed me out to gain favor..."

With that, Shu Jiao sighed, "Your Majesty, I am not one to cause trouble."

"With my looks, how could Your Majesty possibly be interested? Besides, Your Majesty is not one to be greedy for beauty. Forgive my boldness, but Consort Xian has served you since the time of the Prince's reign, how could she even..."

"Is that the kind of person she sees you as?"

Emperor Jiaheng's face gradually darkened.

What do you mean?

He wanted palace maids to serve him, just for that matter.

What does Consort Xian think of him in private?

"This servant is truly not one to cause trouble."

Shu Jiao added, "This servant just feels that Consort Xian must have some misunderstanding about Your Majesty."

"She also said that Consort Yi is old and faded. But Consort Yi is clearly two years younger than you, Consort Xian..."

She's the kind of person who stirs up trouble.

Hehe ~

After all, Consort Yi was her former mistress, and besides, she couldn't just take that big gold hairpin from yesterday for nothing.

Emperor Jiaheng: ...

It's fun to watch the drama unfold.

But when gossip gets to you, you get really unhappy.

A dark glint flashed in Emperor Jiaheng's eyes.

Just then, a palace attendant came in and said that Consort Xian had arrived.

Sun Wenzhong glanced back at Emperor Jiaheng's face and clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking that this was certainly not the best time to come.

I got angry!

Emperor Jiaheng chuckled in exasperation, a smirk playing on his lips. "Let her in."

"Your Majesty~~~"

As soon as Consort Xian entered the room, she spotted Shu Jiao's slender back, but when she looked at her face, the wariness and defensiveness in her eyes vanished instantly.

Emperor Jiaheng: ? ? ?

how?

If someone isn't particularly good-looking, you won't be on guard.

So, in your eyes, I really am someone who enjoys beautiful women?

"Your Majesty, you must do me justice!"

Consort Xian stepped forward with a coquettish look on her face, gently tugged at Emperor Jiaheng's sleeve, and immediately began to complain about Consort Yi, "Consort Yi was insolent in Kunning Palace today, not only insulting me but also trying to hit me..."

Barbara.

Unfortunately, Emperor Jiaheng had already heard the plot once.

He listened without expression, "You know Consort Yi, she's just straightforward and doesn't have any bad intentions."

"Besides, why does she only hit you and not others? Sometimes you should reflect on whether it's your own fault."

Consort Xian was taken aback, then her tone took a sharp turn, "Your Majesty... Consort Yi also insulted her other sisters!"

"How come I didn't know? And no one complained to me."

Emperor Jiaheng frowned slightly. "Consort Xian, you are also an elder in the palace, older than Consort Yi. Don't be so petty, give in to her."

Who is the old man?

Who's stingy?

Consort Yi wanted to hit her, so why did she have to reflect on her actions?

Consort Xian was so angry that she was practically bursting into flames, her resentment almost materializing on her forehead.

Sun Wenzhong lowered his head to hide his smile, clenching his hands tightly in his sleeve.

"This combat power is incredibly strong."

Shu Jiao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration to 003.

003 nodded in strong agreement, spitting out a few sunflower seed shells. "Emperor Jiaheng has carved out his own path in the imperial race."

A sarcastic and critical emperor.

How novel!

Consort Xian, who originally came seeking comfort, a reward, and a bit of sabotage on her rivals, was instead stabbed in the back by Emperor Jiaheng.

awful.

That's terrible!

Consort Xian's smile gradually became strained. "Your Majesty, this concubine..."

"Anything else?"

Emperor Jiaheng said calmly, "If there's nothing else, you can go back now. I'm very busy."

Consort Xian froze for a few seconds, then curtsied and said, "This concubine takes her leave."

Shu Jiao swore.

As Consort Xian passed by, she heard the sound of Consort Xian grinding her molars.

Seeing that Sun Wenzhong didn't move, she gave him a wink.

Shu Jiao followed immediately, escorting Consort Xian all the way to the palace gate, saying, "Your Highness, please watch your step and walk slowly."

Consort Xian stormed off, then calmed down, turned around and walked up to Shu Jiao. After looking at her carefully for a few moments, she managed to pull the memory out of her.

"Miss Shu!"

Consort Xian immediately smiled.

It turns out to be Shu Jiao, the gossips by Consort Yi's side.

No wonder the Emperor took him away.

Hey ~

The person who blames her didn't find out clearly yesterday. Mainly, she didn't dare to reach out to the Emperor, so she had no way to find out.

If she had known earlier that it was Shu Jiao who left, she wouldn't have bothered to argue with Consort Yi.

On the other side, her personal maid, Shu Jiao's old customer, Wanxiang, flipped her wrist and a heavy little purse was in Shu Jiao's hand.

It took two seconds.
