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

Chapter 146: One step away?

At this point, Xiao Jin understood that further words were useless.

After all, the eyes of the masses were sharp; they would only believe what they saw for themselves.

No matter how much others tried to defend, it would ultimately be in vain.

Xiao Jin could only sit in the wheelchair, silently accepting the true or false compliments from the courtiers.

Once the formalities were over, the ministers who participated in the ceremony gradually boarded their carriages and returned home.

Seeing that most people had left, Xiao Jin finally obtained a moment of peace, although her head still throbbed a little.It seemed that her aunt had made up her mind to push her into that position.

Xiao Jin took a deep breath, unable to understand what was commendable about herself, a useless youth in her twenties who only managed the rights to read novels and play games without restrictions on gaming addiction.

She just wanted to go home.

Something like being an emperor should be left to the professionals.

She couldn't bear it and had no interest in it.

Chu Shao stood by, noticing that Xiao Jin was slightly irritated at the moment, and asked softly, "Your Highness, are you tired? Shall I accompany you back to your room?"

Xiao Jin looked up at Chu Shao, gazing into those smiling eyes. Her inner thoughts calmed down a lot.

Or perhaps, when there was someone by her side, with smiling eyes, gentle laughter, and reflections of her own face, even if a great disaster was about to befall, she wouldn't be too afraid.

Xiao Jin knew that a genuine smile couldn't be faked.

Perhaps Chu Shao herself didn't even know, but Xiao Jin knew, and she knew she could trust Chu Shao.

In this unfamiliar world, she really wanted to hold Chu Shao's hand and draw some support from it. But for now, she still had something she had to do.

Recalling the scene when the ground shook just now, Xiao Jin couldn't help but sigh.

She had never seen Xiao Shuang in such a miserable state.

Except for the fragments of memories, the princess in red had once braved a heavy rain and ran towards the study.

Apart from that, there had never been such a moment.

With this in mind, Xiao Jin shook her head and said, "Shao'er, you should go back to your room and rest. There's still something unresolved that I need to attend to."

"Your Highness, who is this matter related to?"Chu Shao's tone remained gentle, but her smile seemed a little forced, like an ink painting being rolled up before the ink had dried.

Xiao Jin paused for a moment and answered honestly, "It's related to my aunt."

...

Before the officials dispersed, Xiao Shuang had already left the altar.

Xiao Jin speculated that her aunt probably thought everything was settled and there was no need to stay.

On the way to Xiao Shuang's chamber, Xiao Jin wanted to confirm another guess, so she called Ye Juege to push the wheelchair and accompany her.

The journey was not far, and lotus flowers were blooming beautifully on the surface of the temple's pond, which was a delightful sight.

Xiao Jin waved her hand to signal Ye Juege to stop and walked to the front of the lotus pond. She casually picked a branch that was protruding from the railing and admired it in her hand.
