A sharp voiceden with disdain sliced through the air. “You’re the woman from Jinwei Land?”
The tone conveyed a sense of revulsion, as though she had encountered something utterly repugnant.<div>
“Is there no one else in Jinwei Land? While it’s eptable to have a woman represent our Baizhou Land, it’s another matter entirely when youe into the pce and disregard the established customs. My father is the King, and I won’t engage in a quarrel with you, but I must properly advise you so that you grasp your position!” the Fourth Prince of Baizhou Land proimed sternly. In the presence of numerous witnesses at the pce banquet, he exhibited no restraint and sought to publicly humiliate her.
In his view, the women of Baizhou Land were of lower status. Learning that she had caused amotion in the pce only heightened his displeasure.
The pce had been diligently preparing for the pce banquet for several days. Princes like him were not permitted to enter and exit the pce casually. Otherwise, he would have confronted this woman much earlier.
While his father was the King, he was not, affording him a degree oftitude to address matters that his father could not.
Gu Chaoyan furrowed her brow.
Her gaze settled upon the Fourth Prince of Baizhou Land, attired in princely garb.
Many attendees from Baizhou Land regarded his reprimand as fitting and eagerly watched the spectacle unfold.
“Fourth Brother, it’s preposterous for a woman toe here and slight our Baizhou Land. There’s no need for you to be so courteous with her. I’ve never seen a prince engage in discourse with a woman. She’s undeserving of such consideration,” another prince chimed in.
Gu Chaoyan surveyed her surroundings.
The pervasive bias of Baizhou Land against women was manifest in the princesses of Baizhou Land. While the princes of Baizhou Land upied seats at the head of the table, the princesses sat timidly in a corner, their trepidation palpable.
Gu Chaoyan directed an exasperated gaze toward the troublesome pair of princes.<div>
Evidently, they were oblivious to the events that had transpired within the pce earlier in the day, thus exining their current conduct.
Upon the throne, the eunuch inquired with the King of Baizhou Land as to whether they should address the situation unfolding outside.
The King of Baizhou Land, however, simply waved their hand, uninterested in the matter. “It’s well and good that they endure a little hardship. It will help them grasp the vastness of heaven and earth and cease obstructing me from pursuing my ambitions in the future. It will also allow them to glimpse the reality of a pce banquet.”
The eunuch refrained from furtherment and permitted the situation outside to persist.
Regarding Gu Chaoyan, she seized a teacup from the table and sshed its contents onto the Fourth Prince’s face. The scalding tea evoked a piercing cry from him.
Forth Prince’s eyes widened as she retorted, “You wretch! How dare you!”
In the following moment…
She doused the tea upon his visage once more, the tea leaves obscuring his face.
“Guards, apprehend this insolent woman and flog her to death!” the Fourth Prince ordered.
The pce guards, however, remained timorous and hesitant to advance.
This was not their first encounter with such audacity.<div>
Many guards had previously been incapacitated and were presently convalescing.
The court’s guards remained unmoved, while the Fourth Prince’s personal guards attempted to approach Gu Chaoyan, only to be forcefully repelled by her spiritual energy.
This cycle continued until only the Fourth Prince remained.
Furious, the Fourth Prince cast an irate nce at the pce guards. “What is the matter with all of you? Have you not heard mymands?”
The guards still did not move.
For other things, they might still give face to the fourth prince, but for this matter, they didn’t want to do so.
“Fourth Prince.” Gu Chaoyan said.
