Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

Chapter 133 The Empress Refuses to Serve the Emperor (6)

Qin Baobao rode in a sedan chair out of the palace gate. Duan Jiufeng, accompanied by several guards, followed closely behind. The little system, now possessing a body, resumed its extravagant lifestyle of eating and drinking.

Shengjing was a bustling metropolis, with shops lining the streets, vendors calling out their wares, and buyers haggling over prices. Occasionally, scholars would engage in lively discussions, expressing their opinions.

What a bustling scene!

In the bustling city of Shengjing, ragged, emaciated beggars huddled against walls and in corners, their eyes lifeless. She had already seen seven or eight of them along this busy street.

If even a wise ruler can govern a country like this, one can only imagine how chaotic the outside world truly is. How much filth still lurks in the unseen, dark corners of Shengjing City?

Some things are too dangerous to ponder, and they can be quite chilling!

Qin Baobao lowered the curtain, found a teahouse, and went inside. Inside, scholars and students were discussing current events, sometimes speaking passionately and quoting classical texts, which earned them applause from the audience.

As Qin Baobao walked in, she was spotted by a scholar. The beautiful woman, backlit and exuding elegance, drew the scholar's attention.

"The peach tree is young and tender, its blossoms are bright and beautiful. This maiden is going to her husband's home, may she bring harmony to her family."

The peach tree is young and tender, its fruit abundant. This maiden is going to her husband's home; may she bring harmony to her family.

"The peach tree is young and tender, its leaves are lush and green. This maiden is going to her husband's home, may she bring harmony to her family." The scholar recited the poem as he walked, and even took out his fan and fanned himself a couple of times in a showy manner.

Upon seeing the Empress being harassed, the guards immediately stepped in front of her and drew their swords.

"Insolence! You lecherous scoundrel, you have no sense of right and wrong!" The current Empress is the mother of the nation, of course she should be a good wife and mother, do you need to tell me?

The scholar was startled, realizing he had met his match, and was already considering retreating.

Qin Baobao waved her hand, dismissing the guards. She wanted to see what this scholar was really up to.

The scholar's eyes lit up. He assumed the noble lady before him was already captivated by his dashing charm and brilliant talent. Excitedly, he took two more steps forward, waving his folding fan with great flair. He had the illusion of being as confident as Zhuge Liang, and he exerted himself even more effortfully to exude charm.

"I fell in love with you at first sight, young lady. I wonder if you are ready to marry?"

"So what if we never did?"

With a face like an angel and a noble family background, this was tailor-made for her!

Considering she's somewhat sensible, he'll reserve the position of legitimate son for her son. As for the second son, he must have Xiang'er's. Xiang'er and he were childhood sweethearts, growing up together since they were little; he absolutely cannot let Xiang'er down.

"I wish to marry you properly, and I will have you carried into my home in a grand sedan chair carried by eight men."

"Do you have money to marry me? Besides, when did I say I was willing to marry you? You're saying marriage isn't appropriate on our first meeting?" Although the scholar's clothes were clean, the fabric was rough, and it was clear that he came from a poor family.

"I am handsome and dashing, how could you not marry me? And talking about money so much is utterly unrefined. After you marry me, don't speak like that." The scholar frowned, somewhat displeased. He was good-looking, but a bit vulgar.

"You have neither money nor power, yet you want to find a powerful woman. If you look down on me, why did you come here in the first place?" Qin Baobao walked past him and headed towards the private room on the second floor.

The scholar tried to stop him again, so he drew his sword and stood in front of him.

The scholar was extremely unwilling and looked up at Qin Baobao. "How can a young lady be like other common people, with only money and power in her eyes? A scholar should value kindness and virtue."

Qin Baobao didn't even turn her head, clearly determined to ignore him. The scholar said angrily, "A woman like you, so arrogant and vulgar, is no better than a wife."

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The guards drew their swords; a subject who insults his lord must die! Even if they remained unmoved if the Empress were insulted like this, they would only face certain death upon returning home!

Seeing the gleaming swords and the murderous intent in their eyes, the scholar was so startled that he took two steps back and fell to the ground with a thud. His face was filled with fear, and his body was disheveled; all traces of his earlier scholarly air were gone.

Qin Baobao, not wanting to cause trouble, turned and looked at the scholar with a mocking smile. "Is this what you call the integrity of a scholar? You haven't even done anything yet! And you're already sitting on the ground. The integrity of a scholar? Don't disgrace all scholars. A refined scoundrel like you who flirts with every girl he sees shouldn't go out in the future!"

"Put away your swords. Killing such a person is an insult to the weapons in your hands."

The guard sheathed his sword and followed him upstairs.

The scholar, embarrassed, stood up, dusted himself off, and left the teahouse with feigned arrogance.

This kind of person dares to covet my sister; he's simply courting death!

Duan Jiufeng, hidden in the shadows, observed everything. "Give him a beating, break his legs, and make sure he can never leave the house again," Duan Jiufeng ordered from the shadows. A dark figure darted out and followed the scholar.

Whatever it is, as long as it's my sister's wish, I should fulfill it.

In the private room, the waiter served tea. Qin Baobao dismissed everyone, sat down on a stool, and fell into deep thought.

Encountering a lecherous man outside—could this be considered being influenced by bad luck? Maybe I should go out and try again?

The back window overlooked the alley. Qin Baobao changed her clothes and took off her jewelry. She jumped out of the window and slipped into the alley.

In the alley, a masked man was punching and kicking the ground. When Qin Baobao flashed in, the man in black glanced in her direction, and their eyes met.

The man in black saw Qin Baobao and stomped twice on the person on the ground. He then vanished in a few leaps.

This isn't the right procedure! Shouldn't they have threatened them or even killed them to silence them? Why did they just leave so easily?

Qin Baobao took a few steps forward. Although the person on the ground was unconscious, his chest was rising and falling, so he was obviously still alive.

Even if I survive, my life is over!

Two large shoe prints were imprinted right at his knees, and his legs were bent abnormally.

She had just seen this man before; he was the scholar who had flirted with her at the teahouse.

Was that guy some kind of chivalrous knight-errant? He couldn't stand the scholar's behavior, so he beat him up like that. Tsk tsk tsk, serves him right!

The man in black returned to the teahouse and reported to Duan Jiufeng about his encounter with the Empress.

Duan Jiufeng suddenly stood up from his chair. "Have all the guards follow her, keeping a safe distance, to protect the Empress's safety."

After sending out his bodyguards, Duan Jiufeng continued to pace anxiously around the room.

No, I have to go after them. Even though this is Shengjing, there are still plenty of lecherous people here. Having me there can help shield them.

Duan Jiufeng bought a bamboo hat by the roadside and used his lightness skill to catch up with them.

A portly, wealthy businessman was on his way to visit a brothel when he saw Qin Baobao and his eyes lit up.

He immediately took a few steps forward, "Young lady, ah..."

The wealthy businessman had just opened his mouth when a dirty little boy suddenly rushed out and slammed into him. Caught off guard, the businessman was knocked to the ground. The impact shook the earth.

Amidst the flying dust, the child realized he had caused trouble and scrambled to his feet, ready to rush forward.

The wealthy merchant no longer cared about the beautiful woman. He ordered two of his men to grab the child and beat him mercilessly.

Qin Baobao glanced at the child, then turned and walked away.
