QT:The Second Female Lead is Poisonous

The Ghost King's Pampering: Concubine's Daughter As Wild Consort

The palace banquet was held in the imperial gardens and on their way there, Xia Chao ran into his colleagues and their families. Of course, this didn't include concubine-born children since they were not suited for appearing in public. Everyone including the emperor knew that if Ghost King Xiao Ruo was birthed by the empress, the current position of crown prince would be given to him.

For a royal banquet like this, Xia Qimeng was not allowed to come. However, the female lead was still the female lead so she had her ways. Even if she didn't have any way of her own, the men in her harem would find a way for her.

The emperor Xiao Fen was very old and said a few simple words before he let everyone get up from bowing. He looked towards the person sitting next to Xiao Ruo and smiled. "This must be Silver Mask Strategist Bai Rong."

"Replying to the emperor, this subject is indeed Bai Rong. When this subject was young, there was a fire and this subject's face became terrifying. This subject asks that the emperor will forgive and allow the mask to stay on." His voice was very clean and curt. The silver mask hid half his face. The effects of the mask weren't horrifying but rather, it made people want to explore the mystery behind it.

Only Fengguang knew... No, presently, there was also Xiao Ruo who also knew, so only the two of them knew that he was actually a she.

Xiao Feng let out a genuine laugh. "I've heard how you've created countless strategies for the Ghost King on the battlefield, how you even caused Guangliu troops to retreat with your intelligence. We can't thank you enough so why would we blame you?"

"Since Emperor Father also thinks highly of Bai Rong's efforts, how about rewarding him?" Xiao Ruo spoke out in a low, deep voice. His face was flawless and his many years on the battlefield gave him a frightening aura that let off a killer's energy. Even though he appeared handsome to the point of being surreal, others didn't dare approach him.

Fengguang stole a glance at the crown prince who was lazily drinking and didn't seem like he planned to do anything.
