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

Chapter 36: Everything was covered in ice and snow

The eunuch looked at Chu Shao with a smile and waved his feather duster, saying, "Prince Yan wife, please kneel and receive the decree from the Princess Zhao Yang."

Chu Shao stood still and responded with a smile.

Then she said something ambiguous, "Eunuch, I am a person from the Yao country."

The eunuch furrowed his brow, not understanding what Chu Shao meant.

Xiao Jin sat in her wheelchair and watched everything. Although nothing had happened yet, she had a very ominous feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, her premonition came true the next moment.

Chu Shao smiled and continued to say to the eunuch, "Eunuch, I am a person of the Yao country and also a princess of that country. According to the law of the Qi country, every princess only needs to kneel and worship the Emperor, and there is no need to kneel to anyone else."

After this was said, the kneeling crowd fell silent.

Even Xiao Jin frowned slightly. After all, Chu Shao was already a princess of a lost country. If they were to discuss the matter according to the law, this argument seemed a little untenable.

The eunuch was originally a prominent figure by the side of Princess Zhao Yang, and even the Crown Prince and the Prince had to exchange pleasantries with him.

Now that Chu Shao did not give him face, and even disregarded the face of Princess Zhao Yang, he actually kept talking about the law of the Qi country.

What did a woman from the Yao country know about the law of the Qi country?

The eunuch's face immediately sank, and he said sharply, "Princess, since you have become Prince Yan wife, you are naturally also a citizen of the Qi country. Receiving the decree from the Princess Zhao Yang without kneeling is simply a lack of manners!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Shao shook her head and said with a smile, "Eunuch, you are mistaken. From ancient times to the present, the so-called law has always been more important than manners."

"Moreover, I am now in the Qi country territory, so I naturally have to abide by the law first, and then manners. If everyone were to prioritize manners over the law, the order would become chaotic."

Chu Shao calmly finished speaking, while the eunuch was dumbfounded.

Xiao Jin's face showed no expression, but she was actually quite amused. 

She had been thinking about how to smooth things over for Chu Shao, but she didn't expect her to directly bring up the law of the Qi country and leave the eunuch speechless.

It's no wonder she's someone who will become an empress in the future, she can talk so eloquently that it's hard to find any logical mistakes.

The eunuch didn't expect that a princess who had been living in Yao country like Chu Shao would know about the law Qi country.

"The princesses of all countries do not need to kneel to anyone other than the emperor," he didn't even know that this was a provision in the law!

He was so angry that his face turned white, but he couldn't find a reason to refute Chu Shao for the time being.

But Chu Shao was just a princess of a defeated country, Yao country was gone, what right did she have to be so arrogant in front of him?

Although Xiao Jin was behind Chu Shao, as a princess of a defeated country, she couldn't bring any benefits to Xiao Jin.

In matters of love and lust, when beauty fades, love flees, and how long can it last?

Since the eunuch couldn't compete with Chu Shao, he simply didn't argue and waited to see what would happen in the future.
