The small wind on the gates of King Rui Residence did not rise to a ripple, only decreasing the impression Yang Shuqing had on some noble ladies, official families, and noble sons.

Especially the noble ladies who liked Heir Xie. They felt that it was not worth it for him.

King Jin only looked at Yang Shuqing faintly. He used to feel that Oldest Miss Yang had money and power, her means were impressive. Now, he felt she was idiotic and he suddenly felt flat and insipid. Once he thought that the decrease in his power was related to King Qin, coldness rose in his pair of sharp eyes.

He did not hesitate to lead his guards into King Rui Residence.

Yang Shuqing suddenly looked back and stared fixedly at King Jin's tall and straight back. Her fists curled and her eyes were filled with hatred. Once she thought that Kin Jin was worried out of his mind recently, her heart felt satisfied.

"Miss Yang, let us enter." King Qin went down his horse and strode to Yang Shuqing's side as he looked intensely at her beautiful face.

Yang Shuqing thought that she was engaged and she still wanted to be the future Duchess Ding, so her reputation could not be tainted. She immediately shook her head and refused, "Thanking King Qin for the kind offer. I am now engaged, it is better to keep a distance." After saying this, she took Qian Rong and Qian Bi as she turned to enter King Rui Residence.

King Qin pursed his lips and followed in big strides as he led his people while maintaining a little distance.

The eyes of the girls who stood around the carriage shone. King Qin was hot stuff and he had Anyuan Marquis' backing. Anyuan Marquis' oldest legal daughter was not engaged to Heir Xie. For this point, King Qin was now the imperial cousin with the highest reputation to succeed the throne. A lot of big officials had silently stood on his side while recently, King Jin's forces were decreased, losing a level.

The people who could join Queen Rui's banquet all had bright minds. The noble sons and official sons were all talented youths.

Their hearts had a steelyard.

Jiang fourth miss was Duke Ding's only fiance. The current emperor was the previous emperor's legal son and he was also Duke Ding's cousin. If he did not carry poison since he was in his mother's womb and his body was fragile with no child until now, how could he designate imperial cousins?

When the previous emperor passed away before he could appoint the crown prince, as the previous emperor's only legal son, he ascended the throne with Duke Ding's backing although his body was weak since Old Madam Xie was his aunt.

So where Duke Ding leaned to was important.

Oldest Miss Yang was usually calm and smart, giving others the impression of planning strategies with a command tent. This time, it was not known if she was muddled or others, but she actually wanted to use King Qin's status and influence to step on Jiang fourth miss.

Women would get muddled once they encounter feelings.

Oldest Miss Yang was probably also like this. The noble sons and official sons who quite admired Yang Shuqing revealed a trace of disappointment.

Jiang Ningbao and the others followed little king Xiao Ran into the King Rui Residence and were dazzled by the scene inside. The fake mountain and flowing water, various buildings, and the exquisiteness and luxury all over. Aside from old servants, they met young male and female servants who were all good looking.

Jiang Ningbao: "....."

No wonder this little king Xiao Ran grew the personality of loving beauties. He grew up within an environment of good looking people so it was normal that his standards were high.

"There are many good looking people in the little king's residence." she could not help but sigh.

Little King Xiao Ran in front squinted his plum blossom eyes and he shook his fan as he spoke with pride, "Jiang fourth miss, your eyes are good. The things belonging to King Rui are not much, but beauties took up the most."

Jiang Ningbao thought of the little king's one hundred and seven concubines that were more than the emperor's harem and went silent.

Indeed, beauty was the most.

She turned back to look and Jiang Mingyao was silent the whole way, not looking sideways. Jiang Yue looked around enthusiastically while Zhang Zhan's demeanor was elegant, his actions were befitting his position.

Jiang Ningbao slightly knitted her brows. Wasn't Jiang Yue's personality too rash and careless? Before, she rarely had contact with this second male cousin and her understanding toward him was not much. Looking at it now, Old Madam Jiang was digging a pit for her.

"Jiang fourth miss, the duke does not come?" After little king Xiao Ran went prideful, he suddenly asked in curiosity.

His mother hosted many banquets and every single time, she would send an invitation to Duke Ding, but Duke Ding never participated. Little king Xiao Ran felt a little disappointed.

"Little king, do you think that the noble ladies can withstand the ominous energy from the duke?" Jiang Ningbao asked him a question instead with a soft voice.

Little king Xiao Ran was speechless and did not speak anymore.

Jiang Ningbao smiled and continued following behind little king Xiao Ran's back. She thought of King Qin and King Jin who she saw today. These two kings, how should she say it? The bearing was very out of ordinary. They both had ambitions but the feeling King Qin gave her was that he was lesser than King Jin.

In the novel, King Jin was an ambitious man. In the life before, he lied and schemed the female lead and made her die tragically. King Qin lost because of the female lead and also King Jin's scheme.

But King Qin had his legs broken by Yang Shuqing proved that this King Qin's intelligence was not on par to King Jin. Though after the female lead went back to the past, King Qin was helped by the female lead's fore-knowledge and assaulted King Jin, becoming the emperor and the female lead became King Qin's unattainable love.

This was meaningful.

The female lead Yang Shuqing felt that she was so tragic in her previous life because King Jin got rid of her as soon as she had done her job. But there was a cefei from a prominent family who married King Jin being given the title of guifei.

This woman was also the female lead's target of vengeance.

After Jiang Ningbao saw the two kings, she could not help but laugh in her heart. Yang Shuqing could become King Qin's unattainable love not only because of King Qin's personality, it was also because Yang Shuqing had future knowledge and made plans for King Qin. Every attack would strike the target. In King Qin's heart, she had the label smart and matchless, planning strategies within a command tent.

King Jin's ambition was big with careful and deep thoughts, also strong willpower. He won't like a woman easily and he was good at hiding and enduring. It was not something ordinary people could do. According to the novel, King Jin should be under King Qin's suppression and his power was decreased by a lot. Today, he still attended the banquet and maintained the superficial brother's relationship with King Qin.

Just for this endurance, if Yang Shuqing did not reborn and shatter the forces he gathered secretly and did not get HEir Xie's support when he became the new Duke Ding, King Qin won't be able to win over King Jin.

King Jin was the novel's final boss.

Jiang Ningbao curled her lips to a sly smile. She was now Duke Ding's fiance and Duke Ding was Qianyuan Emperor's cousin. If she used her mystical medicinal wine to treat Qianyuan Emperor's persistent ailment, Qianyuan Emperor wouldn't die early and he would even have children.

This stage of imperial brothers' war could come to a close.

Yang Shuqing could also stop.

She definitely would not let Duke Ding Residence enter this storm of fight for the throne.

Jiang Ningbao decided to mention this matter to Duke Ding after going back. Once she thought that she had another reason to go find Duke Ding, Jiang Ningbao's mood was good and she emitted a happy air.
