Quick Transmigration: Host, Please Be a Mute Beauty

Jiang Qiao stood straight in the center of the hall. Despite her delicate appearance, she had a touch of heroism at this moment. "Your subject went out to choose a sword that suited her, but couldn't find one she liked."

Jiang Jixiao asked with interest, "So what are your thoughts?"

Jiang Qiao walked towards Chi Qi'an's seat and stopped three steps away from him. "General Jinghong's Soul-Drinking Sword is unparalleled. I have long heard of it. I wonder if the general would be so kind as to lend it to me?"

Normally, weapons are not allowed to be brought into a banquet, but Chi Qi'an was an exception. He was a great contributor to the Anhuai Kingdom, and the emperor allowed him to bring a sword into the banquet.

Chi Qi'an looked up at the smiling woman before him, his gaze heavy and serious, lost in thought. Today, the Emperor said he would choose one of the princesses to marry him, so was her request to borrow his sword genuine admiration, or… something else entirely?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Qiao was actually panicking. It was all over. Her beauty trap hadn't worked, and she couldn't borrow the sword. She was going to lose face today!

[Ding-dong~ Congratulations, host, your strategy value has reached 35%. We hope you'll keep up the good work! *kiss*]

Jiang Qiao: This time the fragments were a bit pretentious. He was moved but kept a straight face, pretending so well.

Chi Qi'an silently examined the object in his hand, then handed it over, saying, "Princess, be careful. Swords have spirits too. If Yinpo doesn't like you, it would be bad if it hurts you."

Jiang Qiao took a few steps forward and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "General, you may not know this, but everyone loves me, and Yinpo must be too!"

Having just overheard people around him discussing Princess Chang Le's murderous nature and how she was disliked by everyone: ...

"Don't you guys think General Jinghong and Princess Changle are quite a good match? They look so good in red!"

"Stop your imagination! How could General Jinghong possibly fall for such a vicious woman!"

……

The women's side started talking again.

Jiang Shuhuan turned around and glared at them, and those young ladies from noble families immediately shut up!

She had just observed that General Jinghong was the most handsome man in the entire hall, and his aloof and cool demeanor was truly attractive to her.

My mother said that the most outstanding man in the world is hers!

Jiang Qiao took the sword and returned to the center of the hall. She had never wielded a sword before, but the original owner of the body was a really good dancer. She could combine the dance with the kung fu she had learned, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it!

She was dressed in red, her slender fingers gripping a long sword. The sword moved nimbly and gracefully, each swing carrying an irresistible force, drawing bright trajectories in the air. Her figure was like a ghost, elusive and unpredictable. With each step, she moved lightly and gracefully, her hair dancing in the air, a scene of breathtaking beauty, like a poem or a painting.

The woman and the sword worked together skillfully, their dance unforgettable. Chi Qi'an could tell that the Soul-Drinking Sword liked her very much.

In her entire life, the Soul-Drinking Sword was only used by one other person; perhaps this was fate.

[Ding-dong~ Congratulations, host, your strategy value has reached 43%. We hope you'll keep up the good work! *kiss*]

After the dance ended, the hall was as quiet as a dull dream, and the expressions of the others varied, most of them were shocked.

Princess Chang Le seems like a completely different person. Although she's wicked, her charm is captivating.

Jiang Jilong was overjoyed and spoke first, "Good, Chang Le is indeed worthy of being my eldest daughter, she has such a remarkable side!"

Jiang Qiao found it ridiculous. So what did you do before? Constantly criticizing her, showing endless favoritism towards Jiang Shuhuan, and feeling disgusted by her existence!

Lou Zhuxin was completely speechless, her heart filled with panic, and she had a bad feeling.

Jiang Qiao placed the Soul-Drinking Sword back on its hilt, and it emitted a long cry.

The Soul-Drinking Sword returned to Chi Qi'an's hands.

"The Soul-Drinking Sword is a fine sword. Thank you, General Chi."

Chi Qi'an said calmly, "Your Highness is too polite!"

Jiang Qiao smiled smugly: "General Chi has just returned to the capital and doesn't know, but this princess is least likely to be impolite!"

Chi Qi'an's heart skipped a beat. He never believed rumors, only the person in front of him.

Before Chi Qi'an could answer, Jiang Qiao walked to the center of the hall and stared intently at the silent Lou Zhuxin. "So, what kind of gift does Consort Zhu plan to give Chang Le?"

Lou Zhuxin feigned concern, saying, "Princess Chang Le truly amazes me. I never knew the princess had such a refined manner. To express my feelings, may the princess ask me for something?"

However, Jiang Qiao doesn't care about things that are cheap, and if she wants something expensive, people will definitely gossip about her.

But who is Jiang Qiao? She doesn't care about what others say. Her backer is the Empress Dowager. She wants Lou Zhuxin to regret saying that she can choose for herself!

"Since Consort Zhu has said so, Chang Le will not refuse. Chang Le wants the Consort's... power to assist in managing the harem!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but gasp.

She really dares to ask for this!

Rain Star: Princess, are you out of your mind?!

Qin Pianyue: You want it all, you want everything! You're just waiting to die!

Qin Wei: As expected of her!

Bai Chenshu: My cousin is the only one who dares to ask for it!

Jiang Shuhuan: What did she say she wanted?

Even Chi Qi'an was somewhat surprised; this Princess Chang Le was quite interesting.

Lou Zhuxin almost couldn't hold back anymore when she heard what Jiang Qiao wanted! Why don't you take my life instead?

How could she possibly relinquish the power to manage the harem? Her eyes reddened in the blink of an eye: "Your Majesty, Chang Le is still young. She may have been instigated to say these things. Someone must have seen that the Empress had been released from confinement and instructed Chang Le to say them. Please don't blame her!"

Jiang Qiao: Thank you so much for speaking up for me!

Jiang Ji's good mood was immediately dampened. Bai Mian was so greedy. He had already lifted her confinement, what more did she want?

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

Unaffected by his words, Jiang Qiao continued, "Consort Zhu holds absolute power in the harem, and has harmed countless lives over the years. She is not worthy of the authority to assist in managing affairs!"

Lou Zhuxin immediately burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I don't have any. Over the years, I have been busy with the affairs of the harem. I have worked hard, even if I have no merit. But since Chang Le wants it, give it to her!"

Jiang Shuhuan also stood up: "Father, you can't treat Mother like this. Her eyes are getting blurry from looking at the account books all these years!"

Jiang Ji was furious: "You unfilial daughter, who taught you to say that? Kneel down!"

"The Queen is here!"

Bai Mian was helped in by Yunyan. After many years, this was the first time Jiang Ji had seen her.

Bai Mian was wearing makeup today, but she still looked a bit sickly. She slowly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects. Chang Le did not mean it. Please do not blame her. I will teach her a lesson!"

A hint of pity flickered in Jiang Ji's eyes; after all these years, he had ultimately wronged her!
