The Empress of the Ghost King
The Emperor Requests Audience
In the Mu family room, Mu Qing had an ominous expression as she sat on the head seat together with Mu Ting Er and Mu Yi Xue by his side.
Seeing Mu Ru Yue arrive late, Mu Yi Xue had a joyful smile on her face, looking for happiness from her impending misfortune. In comparison, Mu Ting Er, who was wearing an elegant yellow-tapered silk dress, instead tried to convince Mu Qing not to punish Mu Ru Yue.
"Sister Ting Er, you're too kind." Seeing Mu Ting Er trying to help Mu Ru Yue, Mu Yi Xue gave a cold snort. “Because of your kindness, you were bullied. Did you forget how he treated you that day? He points to your face and yells that you are just a foster child. Even though elder sister Ting Er was adopted, she has brought so many faces to our Mu family. Have you heard all the noble brothers praise big sister Ting Er? On the other hand, someone who only knows how to eat and live in a family is completely useless. Unfortunately, such a person was the original young mistress of the Mu family. If elder sister Ting Er becomes my sister, I will be satisfied for a lifetime.
"Xue Er!" Mu Ting Er revealed anger on her face, but there was still satisfaction hidden in her eyes. “You are still brothers of the same parents; don't overdo it.”
"But I really hope that the one who gave birth to mom is big sister Ting Er instead!"
Mu Yi Xue pouted, feeling guilty as big sister Ting Er reprimanded her for the trash. This made his hatred for Mu Ru Yue increase.
The trash was so heartless. Even when elder sister Ting Er treated him so well, he still held fast to Crown Prince Jing even when he could not match him in any way.
Mu Ru Yue simply folded her hands on her chest from start to finish, quietly watching a good show. There was a cold smile playing on his face as he remained calm and composed.
This made Mu Ting Er unable to make her come out. With Mu Ru Yue's usual temperament, she must have already made a fuss.
"What's the problem?" Mu Ru Yue asked with slightly raised eyebrows. His voice carried a trace of laziness as it was not yet fully awake. "If nothing matters, I'll go back to my room."
Mu Qing's expression darkened. "Is this the attitude you should use towards your father?"
"Hmm? Then can you tell me what kind of attitude I should treat? ”
"You…." Mu Qing's skin turned pale with anger. This young girl was truly too undisciplined and out of control!
"Dad, please calm down." Mu Ting Er hurriedly helped calm Mu Qing's chest to calm her breath. He then raised his head and looked at the young girl impatiently as he reprimanded, “Female sister, father is only worried about you. When she heard that you went to take the test in the testing hall …. ”
"Ting Er!" Mu Qing released Mu Ting Er's hand. He looked cold and gloomy. “Stop helping that delinquent! Mu Ru Yue, when the officials were eating last night, did you know what they were saying? They say that you are shameless enough to actually test your innate talents with a group of four to five year olds. You are trash and you still will not believe that no matter how many times you are tested, you will still be trash! Why don't you think about Dad? Your actions allowed others to use it as a knife to scratch my face. I've been raising you for years and also turning a blind eye to your incompetence, but you're really thinking of ways to let those people humiliate your father!
Mu Qing panted as he said those words in one breath.
At this moment, his complexion was still terrible as he thought that having a trashy and unsettling person like his daughter was the greatest humiliation of his life.
“Have you said your share? If you're done, then I'll go back to my room. ”
Mu Ru Yue yawned as she felt better cultivating than listening to Mu Qing.
"Stop right there!"
Seeing the young girl turn around to leave, Mu Qing's complexion became even more ominous. Before, even though Mu Ru Yue was trash, she had always listened to him. What's going on today?
'That trash knows how to rebel now?'
"Dad, please let me try." Mu Ting Er furrowed her brows. Even though he wanted Mu Ru Yue to be punished, he still had more important issues.
“Big sister, the reason I'm waiting for you here is not because of that. An imperial edict arrived from the palace asking you and father to go to the palace to meet with the Emperor.
Mu Ru Yue suddenly stopped her steps with slightly raised eyebrows….
In the majestic and luxurious throne room, an elder wearing a bright yellow dragon robe sat on the platform inside the hall. A beautiful and alluring girl sat by his side. He looks very young. Her beautiful and heartwarming appearance would make any man unable to suppress her desires. This included Emperor Zi Yue, who was too old to have energy for bed matters.
When Mu Ru Yue stepped into the hall, she received everyone's attention.
"Here we go."
Ye Yi Hua excitedly stroked his chin. Wasn't he an unlucky fellow who acted as a pillow during that fool's fall? He could not forget the look he gave her that day.
The girl was attractive, but it was a pity that she was the trash of Thunder Phoenix City.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Mu Qing knelt down and used his hands to constantly pull Mu Ru Yue over, who did not respond. She glared at him, saying, “Why are you in a daze? Get on your knees to welcome Your Majesty! ”
Mu Ru Yue was still unresponsive. Stubbornness radiated from his cold gaze.
As a person who had lived two lives, he would only kneel before two people.
One of them was a previous life teacher who had taught him wholeheartedly. The other was his grandfather who had indulged him to the bone and who had handed the Alchemy Scripture into his hands.
Other than these two, he would rather die than get rid of the arrogance on his bones and kneel in front of others.
“Mu Ru Yue!”
Seeing the Emperor's expression darken, Mu Qing became anxious and shouted softly. 'When did this naughty princess become so undisciplined? It didn't matter if he died alone, but it would be a crime if he implicated the entire Mu family!'
"Bad! We're……"
“Your Majesty!”
Suddenly, a sweet voice sounded from his side.
The Zi Yue Emperor turned his gaze away from Mu Ru Yue and gently looked at the woman he loved the most. He asked, "Dear concubine, what's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, your servant1 is a little hungry." Ji Ru Ya rubbed her stomach and, with a timid smile, said, "Your servant wants His Majesty to accompany him to a meal after you settle the matter here."
"Ha ha!" The Zi Yue Emperor laughed as he hugged Ji Ru Ya with big hands and said with a gentle feeling, "Alright, we will immediately resolve the matter here to accompany the beloved concubine with her food."
"Your servant then thanked His Majesty in advance." Ji Ru Ya suppressed the disgust of her heart as she revealed a happy smile on her truly beautiful face.
When the attention of Emperor Zi Yue was still on him, he turned his gaze to Mu Ru Yue and secretly winked at her. This confirmed Mu Ru Yue's thought that the woman was deliberately helping her.
'Why?'
'She definitely wouldn't know me before today, so why would she help me?'
"You are Mu Ru Yue?" Emperor Zi Yue looked at the delicate appearance of the young girl. He secretly sighed when he thought that this Mu Ru Yue from the Mu family already had an appearance that could cause the downfall of a country and cause suffering for people of such an age youthful. If it wasn't him who became trash, Feng Er probably wouldn't be so eager to back out of the marriage.
"Indeed." Mu Ru Yue stared straight into the eyes of Emperor Zi Yue without any fear.
Mu Ru Yue's actions caused the Zi Yue Emperor to show a dissatisfied frown, but he was not angry. He used a cold tone as he said, “We have ordered you to come today for some trouble. We didn't think about it at first when We ordered the marriage between you and Crown Prince Jing. We will now end that engagement and help you choose another husband. All the princes and nobles here today do not have a Main Wife yet, so you need not feel guilty marrying them. ”
Hearing his words, all the princes and royal members could not help but retreat a few steps.
Although this girl had an appearance that could overturn the country and even if she was trash, she was still the daughter of the Mu family. If she were to go to their manor, she would definitely not be just a concubine. But how could they allow such trash to be given the title of their Main Wife?
The trash will not give them any help.
