Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Being rejected by a man is one thing, but this is the second time?

After a long silence, the only explanation she could think of was that her manners had indeed been inadequate.

As a peerless genius who was famous throughout the Great Qin Dynasty and shocked all the sects, Su Liang naturally possessed his proud and unyielding demeanor.

It would be beneath one's dignity and manners for servants and maids to invite someone; one must personally go to invite them to avoid being impolite.

She underestimated this boy she had never met before.

Ultimately, they are not those pretentious types!

In fact.

Practicing light dance might be overthinking things; Su Liang simply lacks martial arts skills. (Monthly membership group: 694936135)

Having to entertain the Demon Emperor and appease the Empress, talented woman? Sorry, no time!

The next morning.

Inside the Princess's residence.

Su Liang was teasing Jun Hongyan, asking her if she had ever seen the incident of a tiger eating a person at the zoo.

Su Liang was imitating that fearless person.

Of course, Jun Hongyan wasn't about to eat people yet; she just found it quite amusing and even turned a blind eye to some of the young man's inappropriate behavior.

In particular, Su Liang's audacious actions brought a sense of novelty to this future cold-blooded empress.

She was not revered as a deity, but rather cherished as a woman.

Such as casually touching her hand, or embracing her slender waist, Jun Hongyan turned a blind eye to everything.

With such indulgence, those hands were about to climb halfway up the mountain.

"Peng!"

"Wow... Brother Su flew out again."

"You deserve a beating!"

That concludes this morning's routine at the Princess's residence.

Putting aside the unpredictable atmosphere of the imperial city, this brief moment of leisure seems all the more precious.

Unfortunately, it was ultimately short-lived.

"Your Highness, this is Lian Qingwu from the Zhenguo Mansion. Miss Lian has come to visit Young Master Su."

With this reminder, Jun Hongyan's phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed, flashing with a different kind of brilliance.

Jun Hongyan's eyes shifted slightly as she stared intently at Su Liang, making him feel uneasy all over.

Wait a minute, I haven't done anything wrong, what's there to be afraid of?

The word "again" is very apt.

One act of infidelity, a lifetime of dishonesty.

Su Liang coughed lightly, feeling that he still had a chance to salvage the situation.

"I really don't know this so-called first female genius. As a shut-in, I don't even have enough time to spend with you every day."

"You don't trust your man either, do you?"

Seeing Su Lianglu's shameless and pitiful appearance, Jun Hongyan couldn't help but smile.

This made Su Liang feel uneasy.

Her smile was absolutely beautiful, but I always felt there was something fishy about it? Am I paranoid?

Then, all that was heard was Jun Hongyan speaking calmly.

"Go out and meet them, then you'll get to know them, right?"

(The results are alright, barely meeting the standard. A man's promise must be kept, even if it means crying. Big news, next up—a massive update in ten days.)

That's right, you heard me correctly, ten consecutive days of non-stop updates, 10,000 words a day!!

I have about 30,000 words on hand, and the rest will be all up to me. So, I'm asking you, is it even worth continuing this project? Is it even worth voting for?

Don't ask me about the bonus chapter rules for monthly tickets. Let's start with ten days. If the monthly ticket rankings stabilize, as I said before, each ranking is worth 10,000 words. I'll work my ass off this month, even if it means burning my brain!

Chapter 106: She Was the One Who Pursued Me

Jun Hongyan's voice was much gentler than usual, enough to melt one's bones, but Su Liang only felt a chill.

But if you don't see it, the murderous intent is even greater.

Left with no other choice, Su Liang, caught in the middle, reluctantly went to meet this idle and talented woman from the Zhenguo Mansion.

outside the house.

Lian Qingwu wore a light blue dress, tied at the waist with a white ribbon. Her slender waist seemed so delicate that it could be broken by a spring breeze.

Her eyebrows were delicate and arched, and her face, unadorned, was fair and smooth.

What's most captivating are her eyes, which are like pools of spring water, brimming with moisture.

Her watery eyes seem to look at everyone with tender affection; how could a man not be delighted?

It is beautiful, of course, but in the end it is just a pretty piece of porcelain.

"Greetings, Young Master Su."

Lian Qingwu's voice is as light and graceful as she is.

Su Liang nodded without beating around the bush.

"I, Su, have never met you before, Miss. May I ask what brings you here?"

Lian Qingwu said softly,

"I have long admired your talent, young master."

I have come today specifically to invite you, sir, to the poetry gathering. I hope you will not refuse.

Su Liang didn't even need to think about it.

"Poetry gathering? No interest, no time, no ability, Miss Lian, I'm sorry."

"..."

Faced with such a deadly barrage of answers, Lian Qingwu was stunned on the spot.

She personally visited him and spoke so gently and sweetly, yet she was still rejected!

This situation is simply unheard of.

As a result, Lian Qingwu, who had never been rejected by a man before, felt a mix of emotions.

But suddenly, for some unknown reason, four words suddenly popped into the talented woman's mind.

To lure someone in at the first sign of trouble, one must feign indifference.

A young girl's feelings are always...wishful thinking.

Lian Qingwu offered her praise.

"Young Master Su is truly fond of humility."

At the banquet of the little princess, your poem left the greatest talent of the Qin Dynasty speechless, and your fame has been passed down through the ages.

If the young master is talentless, then wouldn't everyone else be illiterate?

Clearly, they are still unwilling to give up easily.

I'll make you go even if you don't want to!

Just when Su Liang was about to give up,

Unexpectedly, another fragrant breeze wafted by.

Then, the Empress, who had just finished giving instructions to Su Liang, gracefully walked out.

She had changed into a new outfit.

The bright and dazzling red robe highlighted the noble temperament of the future empress, exuding an air of dominance and elegance.

Her stunningly beautiful face, lightly made up and with a touch of foundation, was breathtakingly gorgeous.

Especially her lips, which looked as if they had been coated with nectar, were an alluring crimson that would fix one's gaze there, making one want to spend half a lifetime just to taste those lips.

This woman is neither of this world nor a celestial maiden; rather, she seems like a devil who can steal one's soul.

Even if it meant losing his life to such a devil, any man would probably be completely willing to do so.

Looking at Jun Hongyan's exquisite and flawless face, Lian Qingwu couldn't help but lower her head, feeling a deep sense of shame and inferiority.

It's not just that she's far less attractive.

Appearance was never something Lian Qingwu cared about, but Jun Hongyan's temperament was something she could never catch up with or compare to.

That's what's most frustrating!

Looking at Jun Hongyan's teasing expression, Su Liang felt that this cunning empress was definitely doing it on purpose.

Showing off, flaunting, and being jealous!

Was it a deliberate attempt to undermine this talented woman's confidence and make her realize her own limitations?

"Lian Qingwu, the undisputed number one talented woman in the Qin Dynasty?"

Jun Hongyan looked at Su Liang, but only glanced at Lian Qingwu.

That confident and proud aura, like a phoenix soaring through the heavens, was dazzling.

Even Lian Qingwu couldn't help but feel a little...

Lost in thought, she stammered.

"Yes...yes, I have met the eldest princess."

What brings you here?

Hearing Jun Hongyan's aloof voice, and Lian Qingwu's hesitant explanation of her purpose, she no longer had the confidence to raise her head.

"I simply hope to invite Young Master Su to the poetry gathering."
