Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 288, Queen Jiang's Jealousy

The treacherous minister lived up to his reputation; everything he said was exactly what Emperor Xin wanted to hear. Upon learning that his second act of offering incense at the Nuwa Palace had not diminished the court officials' and people's submission and worship of him, Emperor Xin's resentment lessened considerably, and his expression gradually softened.

Chu Xin secretly raised an eyebrow. Fei Zhong could still be used like this; it seemed he wasn't necessarily doomed to die.

Du Yuanxian was secretly pleased with himself. He knew that Fei Zhong was shameless and good at twisting the truth. He could make up all sorts of nonsense.

Fox Fairy: "Your Majesty~, although I have never met Your Majesty before, seeing that Your Majesty enjoys the respect and admiration of all the officials in the court, I know that Your Majesty must be the most wise and powerful ruler. I can't help but admire Your Majesty!"

Shang Rong: A vixen? A treacherous minister?

"Your Majesty is wise!" Chu Xin smiled with satisfaction and praised loudly.

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the officials in the court praised him loudly, as if Di Xin were some kind of brilliant monarch, a great emperor of all time.

"Hahaha~ I am overjoyed to have such a beautiful companion. Let's have a banquet, I wish to drink with all my ministers!" Di Xin laughed heartily, and with a wave of his hand, he embraced the nine-tailed fox and walked towards the throne.

After the morning court session ended, everyone moved to another venue for the banquet, which was also attended by Queen Jiang and two imperial concubines.

Queen Jiang was very jealous of the fox fairy who was so favored by Emperor Xin, and she was also very bothered by her fox identity. She had only been seated for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but she had already given Emperor Xin several resentful glances.

Seeing that Di Xin ignored her, he turned his attention to the fox fairy: "Fox... sister, can you dance?"

"Yes!" Fox Fairy smiled brightly, as if she liked Queen Jiang very much, showing no disrespect or hostility whatsoever.

Queen Jiang: "I wonder if I have the honor of seeing my sister dance?"

The fox fairy glanced at Di Xin, then stepped down from the throne and began to dance gracefully in the palace.

Everyone knew her identity, so there was no need for her to pretend to be an ordinary person. The fox fairy's dance was graceful and elegant, with petals fluttering. In one moment she was in the palace, in the king's arms, and in the air outside the palace.

Di Xin had just won the beauty's heart, but before he could hold her tightly, she flew away laughing. He was completely captivated and chased after the fox fairy to the outside of the palace. After the fox fairy finished her dance, he brought her back in his arms.

Queen Jiang gave a cold laugh and asked, "Sister, your beauty is so ethereal, it's clear that Longevity Mountain possesses unparalleled spiritual energy."

Fox Fairy: "Longevity Mountain is naturally the best place. The two saints are kind-hearted and never drive away us little mountain demons. They even occasionally bestow blessings and enlightenment upon us."

"How did my sister come to Chaoge? Did she come with the Imperial Advisor?" Queen Jiang began digging a hole.

A glint flashed in the fox fairy's eyes. Did they think she was a fool just because she looked innocent in her smile?

"yes!"

Queen Jiang's gaze shifted to Chu Xin: "I wonder how many such exceptionally talented and beautiful sisters the Grand Preceptor keeps by his side?"

"What does Your Majesty want to say? Is it that I am hiding a beauty? Or that I have an affair with the fox spirit?" Chu Xin didn't take the bait at all. He didn't want to get involved in the power struggles of the women in the harem, and he would never waste his energy on it.

Queen Jiang hadn't expected Chu Xin to be so direct, but it didn't bother her. She smiled and continued, "Grand Preceptor, you're overthinking it. I was just curious about the immortals. Grand Preceptor is highly skilled in magic and exceptionally handsome. Among all the spirit beasts, he chose such a beauty as you to keep by his side. It's only natural that something might happen between you."

"Come, let me toast the Imperial Advisor, to thank him for offering Sister Xian'er to the King." Queen Jiang feigned concern, raising a cup of wine.
