The scheming empress starts by conquering men

The next day, the sun rose, and the winter twilight slowly covered the sky like thick silk.

The hot spring villa surrounded by ancient trees was now shrouded in mist, like a light ink painting.

The lake water has not been frozen by the winter ice, but instead emits steaming hot air, which together with the snow on the pine branches creates a beautiful picture of both movement and stillness.

The Rejuvenation Banquet is divided into two seats, north and south, with a long vacuum area in the middle, which is the place for dancers to perform.

Shao Jincong happily dressed up and rushed to the Rejuvenation Banquet.

He could finally go out and finally see the Sixth Prince.

"Yan Liu, how do you like this outfit of mine?"

Shao Jincong wore a green chiffon dress with wide sleeves, her hair was tied up in a high bun and a ponytail draped over her shoulders. She looked very energetic.

Shao Jincong

Yan Liu followed beside him, looking at the handsome face of his young master, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Young Master is so handsome, no one in the entire Beifa City can compare to you!"

Shao Jincong raised his eyebrows with a smug look on his face, tidied up the loose hair on his temples, and felt elated.

However, Shao Jincong was still a little confused at this time. He paused and asked Yan Liu again.

"Do you think His Highness the Sixth Prince will really come today?"

Yan Liu nodded confidently: "Don't worry, sir. I have already inquired about it. The women's section of the Rejuvenation Banquet has invited His Highness the Sixth Prince. He will definitely come."

The attendant confirmed it again and again, which made Shao Jincong very excited.

He wished the banquet would start right away so that he could see his beloved.

But it’s almost time now. It’s already three quarters past the hour of Si. In another quarter of an hour, the banquet should begin.

When Shao Jincong arrived, many people had already come to the Rejuvenation Banquet and sat down in their respective seats. Almost all the young women and gentlemen in Beifa City were there.

"Brother, come and sit here."

Shao Yujie was talking to a few men in the crowd. He spotted Shao Jincong and immediately waved to him.

Shao Jincong ignored Shao Yujie and looked towards the female seats at the banquet, looking for that pretty figure.

Shao Jincong felt a little depressed when he didn't find the person he wanted to see, and hurriedly asked Yan Liu in a low voice.

"Where is the Sixth Prince? Didn't you say that the Sixth Prince would come? Why didn't I see him?"

Yan Liu didn't dare to look at the banquet so blatantly with Shao Jincong, and could only lower his head and look at it secretly.

He didn't see the Sixth Prince either, but he knew that the more prestigious a person is, the later they would arrive.

"Don't worry, young master. The Sixth Prince will definitely come. The banquet hasn't started yet, so the Sixth Prince won't be here that soon. Why don't you go sit down and wait?"

Shao Jincong let out a long sigh and could only nod secretly.

He sat down beside Shao Yujie absentmindedly, glancing outside vaguely, expecting His Highness to arrive soon.

After Shao Yujie secretly signaled with his eyes to a few of his good boyfriends, he turned and looked at Shao Jincong.

She looked at him strangely for a few times, with a sinister and calculating look in her eyes.

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

He also imitated Shao Jincong and looked out expectantly, but saw nothing except the empty road.

Shao Jincong came back to his senses and glared at Shao Yujie unhappily.

"What do you think I care about?"

She glanced at the young men behind Shao Yujie and subconsciously reminded Shao Yujie.

"Today is the annual Rejuvenation Banquet. The Sixth Prince will be here soon. Remember, from now on, behave yourself and don't make a fool of yourself in front of others. You never feel ashamed of yourself, but I feel embarrassed for you."

Shao Yujie's eyes darkened and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, yes, brother is right. I will listen to you."

Shao Jincong snorted coldly and ignored Shao Yujie, his eyes still looking back the way they came.

Shao Yujie's back teeth were broken after he had tried so hard to please others. He sat up straight, playing with the wine glass on the table in front of him, but his eyes were looking at the men not far away.

Those men had been paying attention to this place, and naturally they also saw that Shao Jincong did not give Shao Yujie a good look.

A nobleman who had a good relationship with Shao Yujie suddenly chuckled and looked at Shao Jincong.

"Mr. Shao, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you these days? I heard from my father that you were kidnapped by criminals, but you have been missing for a long time. Yuan Xin has been worried about you these days and has lost his appetite."

"Seeing you today, it seems that nothing is wrong."

"Mr. Shao, please do not be sad alone because you were kidnapped and insulted by the bad guys. If you are unhappy, you can talk to us. We will never tell anyone else."

Shao Jincong withdrew his gaze irritably, looked at the people on the left with an angry face, and his eyes fell on the person who spoke to him.

"Nong Yuanxin, if you can speak, then speak. If you can't speak, then shut up. Who are you? Who am I? You have no right to speak here!"

Shao Jincong's temper is straightforward, unlike other men in the boudoir, and he doesn't have so many twists and turns.

The words that came out were naturally blunt and unpleasant.

Nong Yuanxin's face suddenly changed, and he stammered, looking hurt.

Shao Yujie hurriedly stepped aside to act as a peacemaker.

"Brother, don't be angry. Brother Yuanxin is just worried about you. Why do you have to be so aggressive? Don't let people look down on us Shao family members. We are narrow-minded, aren't we?"

"Shut up too!"

Shao Jincong shouted angrily and glared at Shao Yujie with cold eyes.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Shao Yujie, I'm warning you, keep an eye on these dogs around you. If they dare to mess with me again, don't blame me for not giving you face and calling for people to chase them out."

"By then, it's you and them who will be embarrassed, not me!"

The words "the dog beside him" made the faces of the people around Shao Yujie change immediately.

But they couldn't refute it, otherwise wouldn't they be admitting that they were the dog?

Shao Jincong still speaks harshly as always!

Shao Yujie's face suddenly became awkward and he nodded with an awkward smile.

"Yes, yes, brother is right. It's all my fault. It's all my fault."

He turned around again, looked at Nong Yuanxin next to him, and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Yuanxin, don't be angry. My brother has always been like this, and you know that he blames me for everything. Please don't take it to heart."

"Humph!"

Nong Yuanxin rolled his eyes at Shao Jincong with disdain and said in a sarcastic tone.

"I don't bother to pay attention to him. He is just a stupid and ignorant waste. If he were not the son of Shao Bohou, who would be willing to say a word to him?"

"You really take my kindness for granted, and you really think you are insignificant."

He held Shao Yujie's hand with his backhand and spoke loudly.

"If you ask me, the person the Second Princess should marry is your brother Yujie. You know everything, and only you can enter the Royal Jade Butterfly."

As he said this, he looked at Shao Jincong and sneered.

"Look at him now. He is not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting. He only knows how to wield a spear and a stick every day. How can this be the behavior of a man in the boudoir?"

"It's just a body, after a hundred years, there will be nothing but a pile of dry bones, not even a reputation."

Shao Yujie smiled softly, squeezed his arm with a seductive look, and acted like a good brother.

"Brother Yuan Xin, I like your personality, honest and unpretentious."

Nong Yuanxin snorted lightly, looking proud. "Of course, otherwise why would you and I become such good friends?"

Shao Jincong heard the two people talking, but was too lazy to pay attention.

He kept his eyes on the road outside, imagining the scene of Shaodian Sishui arriving later.

At this moment, a black figure blocked his view.

Shao Jincong subconsciously looked up and saw a man standing in front of him, dressed in ink-colored brocade and with an aura of being unattainable.

Because the light was against him, Shao Jincong could not see his face clearly, he just felt that the man in front of him was glowing white.
