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

Chapter 123: There was no doubt that its next target- Was Chu Shao

Xiao Jin wanted Chu Shao to come over for two reasons.

First, the sunlight was too strong, and she was afraid she would get heatstroke. Secondly, it was because of the white tiger locked in the iron cage in the center of the venue.

As a modern youth who had read countless online novels, she was well aware of certain mysterious laws.

For example, the villain dies from talking too much, or the misunderstandings between the male and female leads that persistently entangle them in a torturous love affair.

Looking at the white tiger locked in the iron cage, Xiao Jin guessed that according to the common laws in online novels, it wouldn't take long before the tiger would probably break free from the cage on its own.

However, that wouldn't be a big issue.

After all, Xiao Jin knew she was just a cannon fodder character and unlikely to be lucky enough to become the target of the white tiger's attack.

However, Chu Shao and the other female companions were standing too close to the iron cage.

Although Chu Shao had formidable martial arts skills, Xiao Jin still felt a bit worried. That's why she quietly conveyed a message to Chu Shao, hoping she would move away from the cage.

Chu Shao understood Xiao Jin's message by reading her lips, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

She was about to walk over when unexpectedly, just as she took a step, another person blocked her way.

The person blocking Chu Shao was a young woman with delicate features, although she appeared somewhat immature. She seemed to be of a tender age and probably hadn't reached the age of marriage.

The young woman had her hair tied up in a small bun on top of her head, and a peacock blue hairpin adorned her black hair. She looked exceptionally charming, and her hands were holding freshly picked flowers of unknown origin.

She took a few steps forward and smiled at the Emperor Qi who was seated high above, saying, "Imperial Uncle, Qing'er discovered a large field of flowers in the woods!"

Xiao Jin watched as the girl approached and blocked Chu Shao's path. She couldn't help but furrow her brows and began to ponder who this person might be.

A few days ago, during Princess Zhao Hua's birthday banquet, Xiao Jin was still blind and hadn't noticed the presence of this person at the event.

Now that she had taken notice and heard the young girl calling the Emperor Qi "Imperial Uncle," she could roughly guess that this person should be some kind of princess.

As expected, the next moment, Xiao Shuang slightly furrowed her brows and began to educate the young girl standing below, "Qing'er, although you are a princess bestowed by His Majesty, you should remember that His Majesty is the emperor, and you are his subject. Don't forget your manners in public."

Prince Shen, seeing his own daughter not addressing the Emperor Qi as "His Majesty" but instead calling him "Imperial Uncle" without even offering her greetings, felt somewhat embarrassed as well. He sternly echoed, "Qing'er, how can you be so disrespectful? Quickly pay your respects to His Majesty."

Feeling a little wronged after being scolded by so many people, Xiao Qing bowed to the Emperor  and the Empress with a soft and gentle voice, "Qing'er pays her respects to His Majesty and the Empress."

"Qing'er is the daughter of the Tenth Prince and also a beloved princess. There is no need to be so formal," the Emperor Qi said affectionately, being extra kind today because the Fifth Prince had caught the white tiger. He didn't mind Xiao Qing's lapse in etiquette.
