I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 7: This palace is here

Upon hearing that the Crown Prince was requesting an audience, the Emperor Qi's angry expression eased up slightly, and he did not confront the young eunuch again.

He touched the dragon eye bodhi bead on his wrist, then waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Please let the Crown Prince in."

The young eunuch was relieved and quickly kowtowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

In fact, Xiao Jin was curious about why the male lead came to the study room.

After all, with the male lead's perfect character, he rarely revealed his true intentions to others, except for rejecting the Emperor's offer of marriage at the beginning of the story.

On one hand, the male lead enjoyed the adoration of the people, even the original owner, who had a difficult personality, was willing to become his wingman. On the other hand, he secretly suppressed the power of the fourth prince and removed any obstacles without leaving any trace.

However, there was an unfortunate aspect to this.

Due to the melodramatic and outdated nature of this story, the author let loose and the male lead's character collapsed, becoming doggedly persistent in pursuing his love interest and resorting to forceful methods.

Ignoring this, the male lead's intelligence was still intact.

The room was filled with the aroma of incense and smoke from the brazier.

Xiao Jin leaned back on her wheelchair, quietly listening to the footsteps, her face expressionless.

In reality, she was using her peripheral vision to observe Chu Shao's reaction.

Ever since Chu Shao had pushed Xiao Jin back into the original owner's room last night, she had been suspicious that she knew something.

Based on years of experience reading online novels, it wasn't strange to encounter a female lead who had been reborn in a novel world.

However, what was strange was that from the moment the male lead entered the study, bowed to Emperor Qi, and greeted him, Chu Shao's expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile on her face.

By observing someone's expression, you can often see their subconscious reaction, which is often difficult to control or conceal.

It seems that she really doesn't care.

So Xiao Jin felt even more puzzled.

If the female lead hadn't been reborn, how could her character have collapsed like this? But even if she had been reborn, wouldn't she have some reaction when she saw the male lead and the second male lead?

While Xiao Jin was observing Chu Shao, the Crown Prince Xiao Yu had already paid his respects to the Emperor.

He then turned around in surprise and smiled at everyone present, saying, "What a coincidence. Today, I came here to help with the disaster relief in Xunzhou, and I didn't expect my third and fourth brothers to be here too."

"Your Highness cares about the common people, and I am ashamed," said the Fourth Prince with a smiling face, but sneering inwardly.

Why did he have to come now of all times? And why pretend that it was a coincidence? Who was he trying to fool?

The Crown Prince was dressed in a python robe, with a jade belt tied around his waist, and exuded an air of refinement and elegance.

In response to the Fourth Prince's insincere compliments, he merely smiled and said, "You're just joking, Fourth Brother. I'm just doing my duty as a subject. Although you're still young and haven't yet entered the court as an official, it's still good to frequently visit the palace to pay respects to our father, the Emperor, and show filial piety."
