The So-called Female Lead's Halo

Feng Lisheng stopped a meter away from Su Qing. "Why are you looking for me?"

Su Qing sighed sadly. "Your Highness, are you so distant with Qing'er now?"

Seeing that the other party was still expressionless, she bit her lip and changed the topic at the right time. "It's nothing. His Highness, you are my most important friend. Now that you are getting married, I just want to see what Miss Shen, whom you are so eager to marry, looks like."

Feng Lisheng frowned. "What Miss Shen? You should call her the Princess Consort."

After saying this, he felt a pain in his head, as if he had violated some rule.

He composed himself and thought that he had been too tired recently.

Su Qing clenched her fists in anger and forced a smile. "I have said something wrong. I just cannot accept that you are really married."

She said jokingly, "I remember you sending flowers to me a year ago! At that time, Ning Yue and the others even joked that you must like me, that's why you sent me roses that symbolize love."

However, she threw the bouquet of roses into the mud in front of the Crown Prince.

Feng Lisheng felt annoyed when he heard her probings.

He had to admit that he once had something for Su Qing. Later on, when Su Qing chose Qi Yu, he was only slightly disappointed. It just felt as if he had taken a fancy to a good weapon, but someone else had bought it. That was all.

But at this moment, he felt that he had really been blind in the past.

He didn't speak much and only answered indifferently,

"I already know what happened at the palace banquet last time."

Hearing this, Su Qing's gentle and calm expression finally cracked.

What did he say? How did he know about that?

Ever since Su Qing transmigrated, she had relied on modern knowledge to create the reputation of a talented woman, as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister.

She was successfully chosen to study in the Imperial College with the princes from careful planning.

She immediately took a fancy to the beautiful young man with clear blue eyes, who was cold and indifferent.

Unfortunately… Feng Lisheng would never be the Emperor.

Hence, although she accepted Feng Lisheng's flowers, she ended up agreeing to the Crown Prince's proposal.

However, she was unwilling to give up on Feng Lisheng, so she planned to fall into the water at the palace banquet and lure the Crown Prince and Feng Lisheng over. When the Crown Prince saved her, the palace maids that she had arranged for in advance would then pester Feng Lisheng.

This way, Feng Lisheng would think that she had no choice but to marry the Crown Prince and would always have her in his thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Feng Lisheng did not appear at all.

It turns out that he had long seen through her plans!

When Su Qing saw the tall and slender figure turn around and stride away without any hesitation, she felt indignant.

She shouted from his back, "Feng Lisheng, you liked me in the past, right?"

"Like!?" Feng Lisheng sneered.

"Not before."

"And definitely not in the future."

However, after saying this, he felt a piercing pain in his head. It was so painful that he curled up.

Su Qing, who was hurt by his words, rushed over to help him up, but Feng Lisheng pushed her away.

"Get away from me."

Feng Lisheng held his forehead. He had never felt so uncomfortable before. It was even more painful than the strongest torture.

When he saw Su Qing reaching out to help him up, he instinctively wanted to dodge, but a force drove him closer, as if his words had broken some kind of rule.

He gritted his teeth and used the last of his willpower to push Su Qing's hand away.

Fortunately, all the servants and guards in the Prince's Mansion were martial arts practitioners. A servant passing by saw his Prince kneeling on the ground with a pale face.

He hurriedly carried the Prince on his back and ran towards the main courtyard.

Su Qing stared blankly in the direction that the master and servant had left in. She clutched her chest, as if something had deviated from its original trajectory and was beginning to crack bit by bit.

…

Shen Mingjiao sat in the small study that was built at the last minute. A large stack of ledgers that Eunuch Hua had just sent over was on the table.

Feng Lisheng walked in with a pale face.

Shen Mingjiao sized him up in surprise. "What's wrong with you?"

Feng Lisheng picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "I'm fine. I'm probably tired."

"Hey…" That was the cup which she just drank from!

Shen Mingjiao wanted to stop him, but the man was too fast.

Feng Lisheng looked at her in confusion.

Shen Mingjiao could only say, "Nevermind, it's okay. I just wanted to remind you that this tea is a little hot…"

At the mention of the hot tea, the burning sensation in her thigh that had just subsided rose again. She frowned in discomfort and picked up the ice cube wrapped in a cloth on the table to rub it on her leg. Only then did she feel better.

Feng Lisheng walked over and stared at her with a frown. "How did this happen?"

At the mention of this, Shen Mingjiao got angry and rolled her eyes at him. "Ask your White Moonlight."

Fortunately, it was not scalding hot tea. Otherwise, it would definitely blister.

Feng Lisheng asked, "What's a 'White Moonlight'? The newest and most popular jewelry?"

Shen Mingjiao stared at him. If she didn't know him well enough, she would have thought that he was pretending to be stupid.

She simply said, "Miss Su Qing came to look for me early this morning."

Feng Lisheng stood up nervously. "She didn't bully you, right? Did she do this to your leg too?"

She looked at his blue eyes that were filled with anger.

The corner of Shen Mingjiao's mouth twitched. His words seemed to be the opposite. Who exactly is his real 'White Moonlight'?

He thought of the strange pain he had felt earlier. He slowly recovered from it only after he was far away from Su Qing.

That uncontrollable feeling still gave him lingering fears.

So, Feng Lisheng instructed her with a straight face, "If you meet Su Qing in the future, remember to avoid her if you can. It's best not to have a direct conflict with her."

He had to send someone to investigate. He heard that there was a witchcraft in the Southern border that could stir up trouble.

Shen Mingjiao thought. That's more like it. It was indeed just her imagination just now. Whether it was in her previous life or this life, Feng Lisheng still cared a lot about Su Qing.

She was a little disappointed. Of all people, why did Feng Lisheng have to be blind and fall for a scheming b*tch?

Shen Mingjiao was mad and even found Feng Lisheng to be a bit of an eyesore. She immediately chased him away. "Your Highness, if you have something to do, go ahead. I still have a pile of accounts to deal with."

After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to read the account book. The paper flipped noisily.

Feng Lisheng was confused. Why is Shen Mingjiao suddenly unhappy?

…

Shen Mingjiao buried her head in the account book for more than an hour and was so tired that she stretched her body. She realized that her shoulders were a little sore.

A strong hand reached over and massaged her neck evenly.

Shen Mingjiao hummed comfortably. When she turned around and saw Feng Lisheng, she asked in surprise, "Why are you still here?"

Feng Lisheng lowered his long eyelashes and placed his slender fingers behind her neck. He said seriously, "Although I don't know why you're angry, I don't feel good if I really leave."

For some reason, when Shen Mingjiao heard this, her anger dissipated.

Sigh! Forget it. What's the point of arguing with such a stupid man?

"A little lower… a little more to the right… Yes, yes… Oww… It's so comfortable…"

Since she was no longer angry, she naturally enjoyed Feng Lisheng's service.

Seeing that she was no longer angry, Feng Lisheng heaved a sigh of relief and put in more strength in his hands.

Shen Mingjiao leaned back in her chair and tilted her head up. From this angle, she could see Feng Lisheng's feather-like eyelashes and his blue gem-like eyes.

Actually, apart from having poor taste in women, Feng Lisheng was really good in other aspects. Although he looked a little cold and straight, he was sincere and could distinguish between love and hate. He did not have any bad hobbies like being a playboy or being lustful…

At the same time, she felt that Su Qing had really poor taste. What was so good about being the Empress? She had to work herself to death all day long and even behave in a pretentious manner.
