Counting on your fingers, the fifth marriage is coming

"Your Majesty, are you planning to enthrone this... Young Master Yao?" Xie Yujin spoke again.

He stood on a few cloud-like steps, his cold gaze falling down, and even his tone became a little deeper.

Xu Shanshan did not speak. She withdrew her hand playfully, ignoring all the gazes and movements around her. She turned her head and asked another man, "What's your name?"

The man was right next to Yao Hui. He had a look of deep thought on his face. When he was suddenly asked a question, he was stunned at first, and then his expression changed unnaturally, as if he was flattered.

He knelt down quickly and said, "I, Xu Jia, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

This Xu Jia seemed to be more flexible and clever than the stiff "stone" Yao Hui, but the Empress Dowager was still not very satisfied.

Her eyes intentionally or unintentionally roamed over Wei Canghao, Gu Yue Jiarong and Tang Jiashan. Again, those second-generation officials were more handsome than each other, and they all stared at Her Majesty eagerly, waiting for her "favor" to bestow upon them.

As for these unknown Yao Hui and Xu Jia...how to put it, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager who has seen countless people, she immediately saw through their true colors - cramped, short-sighted, greedy but inferior, feelings will never be their first choice for this kind of people.

Their background and experiences have shaped their reality; their status and inner pursuits are what they desire throughout their lives.

She didn't want to find some people like this to stay with Her Majesty. Her Majesty had been lonely for a hundred years. What she needed were those who were desperate, courageous, and came to her side as hot as fire.

"Have you learned any special skills?" Xu Shanshan asked Xu Jia.

This question is quite weird...

"I..." Although Xu Jia was alert, he hesitated for a moment, but still replied meekly: "I can perform flower folding."

"Folding flowers?"

"Yes, this is my special skill. Your Majesty, would you like to take a look at it?"

He raised his head, his eyes were like the first melting ice in spring, silently charming her. Compared with the previous person who had received "holy grace" but was dry when asking questions, his performance was much more interesting.

But at the same time, the handsome men present looked unhappy.

"Flower folding is just a folk craft. I can do it too." Chi Jiangdong couldn't help but speak up.

"Silence, Jiang Xiu'nan, remember the palace rules. You must not speak without being asked by His Majesty." The eunuch chief shouted sternly.

Chi Jiangdong ignored him. He just stared at Xu Shanshan as if he could stare a hole through her face.

Xie Yujin said coldly: "The palace does not need wild and unruly people. If they do it again, their qualifications for the palace selection will be cancelled and they will be expelled from Shengjing!"

Wei Canghao grabbed Chi Jiangdong. His muscles were tense and his face was cold and angry. It was obvious that he was arrogant and unruly.

"If you can't bear the little things, you will ruin the big plans. If you lose the election at this time, who will you please?"

He glanced at Xie Yujin, then turned to Xu Shanshan, only to see that she had clearly heard their accusations of suppression against him, but she was indifferent, like a bystander, as if there was no emotional connection between her and him at all, and that he was just a strange handsome man who appeared here.

His eyes turned red and he lowered them, his lips pressed into a stiff straight line.

Xu Jia stood up at this time, with a smile on his face, and a stack of papers appeared in his hand: "My flower folding is different from others."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's attention returned to him.

"What's the difference?" Xu Shanshan asked with interest.

Xu Jia's fingers were a bit longer than those of an average person, but he didn't seem clumsy when he moved them, but rather deft and delicate. He folded, pressed, and turned a square piece of paper, and it took on a whole new look. He held up a hibiscus paper flower and handed it to Xu Shanshan, saying tenderly, "Your Majesty, this purple hibiscus is for you."

Xu Shanshan met his nervous gaze, reached out to take it, lowered her eyes to examine it, and smiled: "It doesn't seem to be anything special, right?"

Xu Jia narrowed his eyes and said in a mysterious tone: "That's because I haven't cast the spell yet--"

The situation suddenly changed, and Xu Jia's face instantly turned gloomy. The flattering smile that was just on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by a gloomy look, and his eyes also revealed a murderous intent.

He had already secretly made hand gestures, and the purple hibiscus in Xu Shanshan's hand seemed to come alive, with its petals unfolding layer by layer, and the golden stamens clustered in the center reflecting a sharp cold light.

When the dangerous aura approached quietly, Xu Shanshan blocked it with one finger in front of him and suddenly broke away from the flower stem. The golden light shot out by the sharp arrow was blocked an inch away.

Its edge was extremely sharp, flashing a cold light in the sunlight, like countless tiny daggers shooting out to the side.

The people closest to Xu Shanshan are Chi Jiangdong, Wei Canghao, Li Yehe and others.

The air was cut by it, making a slight whistling sound——

"careful!"

They were worried about Xu Shanshan's safety, but they had to deal with a wave of penetrating deadly murderous intent first.

Xu Shanshan glanced back and opened his mouth: "Protect——"

A transparent "wall" blocked them from view, and the terrifying murderous intent once again intercepted them. Wei Canghao, Chi Jiangdong and others looked at her in a daze.

The Empress Dowager stood up suddenly in panic: "Shen'er——"

Xie Yujin frowned, his face looked grim, and he loudly summoned the guards to come forward to rescue him, while he also strode to the side of Emperor Yue.

"Emperor Yue, and all of you vain men who covet wealth and glory, today I will bury you all together in this field of flowers."

Xu Jia tore off the origami in his hand, opened his hands and made seals, turning them into blood-red pieces in mid-air, and then turned them into "broken flowers" that fell to the ground.

Its bright red color looks like a bloody road leading to the underworld, which makes people shudder.

Everything in front of everyone's eyes became blurry, but no one could escape and everything was overturned.

The sky was turned upside down, the sun and the moon were reversed, the four seasons were not distinguished, and when they opened their eyes again, they were horrified to find that they seemed to have come to a world completely different from reality.

The sky was dark grey, with a strange blood moon and a blue moon, but it was snowing. They were clearly in the palace, but at a glance, they were in a wilderness covered with flowers.

"What is this place?" The chief eunuch's eyes widened and his face turned pale.

The Empress Dowager ran over and grabbed Xu Shanshan, saying in horror: "Shen'er, who is that Xu Jia just now? How could he bring so many of us here just because he plucked a flower?"

Xu Shanshan's pupils flashed with a dark golden light. She hadn't thrown away the purple hibiscus flower in her hand yet. She handed it to the Empress Dowager: "Take it."

"This...is this okay?" The Empress Dowager looked confused.

Just now she saw this paper flower turned into a carnivorous plant, which suddenly attacked and injured people, almost piercing them... (End of this chapter)
