[R18] The stars are brilliant, so lucky even (The stars are brilliant, the moon rises over the sea) – Chapter 92 of “The Stars Are Brilliant, How Lucky They Are (The Stars Are Brilliant·The Moon Rising Over the Sea)” [English]

Chapter 92

Probably because it was difficult to keep the matter public, the queen gathered people into the inner hall.After finishing dressing and dressing up, Shaoshang and Zhai Yu hurried over and saw that the plaintiff, defendant, witnesses, judge and jury were all present.

The queen sat in the center above, frowning and concentrating, while Ling Buyu sat on the right side of her, with an indifferent expression and unsquinting eyes; sitting opposite him was the fifth princess, and next to her were two girls of sixteen or seventeen years old.

The fifth princess pretended not to care, but in fact she was peeking at Ling Buyi. Unexpectedly, Ling Buyi seemed oblivious and only looked up when Shao Shang entered the palace.The two people’s eyes met, and then, just like the previous days, Shao Shang took the lead to turn his head away, snorting arrogantly a few times, while Ling Buyi returned his gaze expressionlessly as always.

——Shaoshang himself admitted that this kind of behavior is very childish, but she is happy!The greatest joy!

She thought that she and Ling Buyi were holding their breath and having a cold war, but the exchange of glances had a different meaning in the eyes of the fifth princess. She couldn’t help but snorted heavily, and the inverted Shao Shang glanced at her sideways.

At first, Shao Shang thought it was the Fifth Princess who instructed the group of Xiao Bichi to push her into the pond, but now it seems that it should be the result of the Xiao Bichi’s free play. Otherwise, she would really drown and Ling Buyi would go crazy before it was too late. Who would show the Fifth Princess this big show?

After bowing to the Queen, the young Shang immediately hid his face and walked next to the girl with a melon-shaped face. He said sincerely: “This sister is so pitiful. I think she was humiliated last night. It really makes the heavens and the earth miserable…”

No matter the tone, expression or even the use of sleeves, Shaoshang thinks it is impeccable.

As soon as these words came out, the queen’s body tilted, Ling Buyi’s expression froze, the fifth princess’s eyes widened wider than her mouth, and everyone present except Zhai Yu had strange expressions.

The oval-faced girl was so embarrassed that she stopped sobbing and hurriedly defended: “No, no, it’s not me, I wasn’t…it was she…” She pointed at the plump girl.

“So you’re not insulted, then why are you crying!” Shao Shang was displeased, and it was in vain that she had performed so well just now!Acting is all about that moment of explosion, okay?

The girl with the melon-shaped face flushed red and bumbled a few times but couldn’t explain the reason. However, she was the confidant of the fifth princess and was always favored for her wit. Then she cried out: “We are sisters, she was insulted last night, and my heart aches for her…”

“Why does it hurt? No matter how painful it is, you are really humiliated!” How could Shao Shang be polite to her? “Do you know that this person is the real owner, and you are crying even more miserably than me? If you don’t know, you will think that the gangster insulted both of you last night!”

“You, you, you, what are you saying? It’s so insulting!” The girl’s face turned into soy sauce melon seeds with anger, and her body was shaking like chaff.

The fifth princess glared and scolded: “Ms. Cheng, what do you mean by yelling here? When did you take the decision in Changqiu Palace? You…”

“It’s not up to you to make the decision in Changqiu Palace. Shut your mouth!” The queen suddenly interrupted, “You slept in my palace last night. You knew what happened in the outer court? If you open your mouth again, you should stop interfering in this matter.”

The fifth princess knew that her mother was gentle and kind, but when she got serious, she would do what she said. She had no choice but to shut her mouth angrily, and at the same time signaled the two girls with her eyes to follow the plan.

However, before the fifth princess’s followers could react, Shao Shang had once again brewed up his feelings and approached the plump girl in the same posture: “This sister is so pitiful. I think she was humiliated last night. It really makes me feel miserable every day…”

Fifth Princess & Two Assistants:…

The Queen and Ling Busuo looked at the roof without saying anything.

“Did Master Ling really insult you last night?” Shao Shang’s big eyes were bright and sincere.

The plump girl looked at the fifth princess and gritted her teeth and said, “That’s right! I am of humble origin and a pure and good daughter. No matter how powerful Lord Ling is, he cannot be humiliated like this…”

“What you said is absolutely right!” Shao Shang was elated in his heart, but he still had to show sympathy on his face, “The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. The meaning of this sentence is that Lord Ling’s insult to you is the same as the common people’s insult to you. You can’t tolerate him just because the people who insult you, sister, are different! Ah, I’m not saying that the common people also insulted you, I’m just making an analogy!”

Being a plump girl is neither annoying nor annoying.The fifth princess and the oval-faced girl were both stunned, but Ling Buyi was still calm.

The Queen slowly held her forehead.

She thought to herself that she was actually not surprised at all. Really, to be precise, she was secretly looking forward to it.

“Sister, in addition to being insulted, he also beat you last night? A pure and innocent sister like you must have resisted with all her strength when encountering a bad guy! Come on, let me take a look, oh no, they must be injured. Don’t be shy, just look at the arm in the sleeve…” Shao Shang rushed forward with enthusiasm.

Hearing this, the oval-faced girl was shocked.The plump girl was also panicked and said repeatedly: “No, no, I am not injured, because…” She glanced at the fifth princess, “Because, because I fainted!”

“Fainted?” Shao Shang slowly put down the sleeves of the other party, and immediately changed his face to a hateful and suspicious look, “Sister, you have fainted, how do you know that the person who insulted you is Lord Ling?” Now Xiao Bichi is getting worse and worse. She didn’t do enough homework before framing someone, at least she has some scars of struggle on her body!Alas, it would be nice to have a few more episodes of legal programs.

The plump girl was stunned for a moment, and then said: “…But the person who knocked me out was Lord Ling!”

“It’s hard to say. Some people who are addicted to strange things like to knock girls unconscious and run away. What if someone sees my sister fainting and then picks her up?”

“How is this possible?!” The plump girl was confused.

“Ms. Cheng is so sharp-tongued that she cleared Lord Ling of his guilt in just a few words.” The oval-faced girl said solemnly, “When an ordinary little girl encounters such a thing, she would be both flustered and frightened. How can one explain all the causes and consequences?!”

Shao Shang smiled slightly and refused to reason with her at all: “Don’t be angry. In fact, I think you are more beautiful. If I were Lord Ling, I would definitely insult you first. This gangster has no sense!”

The oval-faced girl almost twisted her nose in anger.

Ling Buyi suddenly said: “You just came to see the fun.”

Shaoshang looked surprised: “How could this happen? I’m here to help Mr. Ling, um, calm down…”

“How are you going to deescalate?”

Shao Shang took out a round, red fruit about the size of a fist from his sleeve, turned to his plump daughter and smiled gently, “Sister, don’t be afraid, eat a purple cup first. This was just given to me by the Queen yesterday, and I couldn’t bear to eat it. Try it, you’re welcome…”

Zi Nai is indeed a rare thing. The plump girl took it tremblingly and took a bite in confusion.

“Now that the matter is over, what do you plan to do next?”

The plump girl’s eyes turned red, and she said sadly: “What plan can I have, I just have to leave it to fate.” Having said that, her big watery eyes couldn’t help but glance at Ling Buyi.

“Well, it’s up to God. Your Majesty is the Emperor. What if Your Majesty promises you a lot of money and then lets you marry someone else?”

“How is this possible?” The plump girl was very excited.

“Why not? It’s not unusual for a widow to remarry and a bride to be extinct. You were just bullied, so what’s the difficulty in marrying someone else?” Shao Shang said lightly.

The plump girl rolled her eyes and immediately fell to the ground and cried: “Although I am humble, my father and brother also have official rank and reputation, how can I disgrace the family reputation? I have given my body to Lord Ling, I must not lick my face and marry another person!”

Shao Shang slapped the floor and said, “My sister is so chaste! Well, since it was Lord Ling who did the wrong thing, I can’t let you suffer alone, so I naturally have to welcome you.”

As soon as these words came out, the fifth princess and the girl with an oval face were both surprised. Neither of them expected that things would go so smoothly; the girl with an oval face even bit her lip and regretted secretly.

“You, you, you, are you willing to tolerate me…?” The plump girl was also unexpected.

Shao Shang said: “Why am I allowing you? It should be Master Ling who is allowing you. I am naturally jealous and cannot tolerate any concubine. If you don’t want to marry another, then let me marry another. How about I break off the engagement and marry another?”

Ling Buyi listened quietly at first, and even smiled slightly when he heard the words “jealousy”. However, when he heard he behind him, his face turned dark.

At this point, the plump girl could finally use the words she had discussed before, and she cried bitterly, “Please forgive me, Madam Cheng! If Madam Cheng is separated from Lord Ling because of me, I will never be able to atone for my sin by dying!” She kowtowed repeatedly.

Shao Shang smiled nonchalantly: “You refused to marry someone else, and you refused to marry someone else. I didn’t force you to do anything, but you forced me to do something. After all, I didn’t insult you, so why should you make me suffer? Forget it, I don’t care.”

The oval-faced girl said angrily: “Since Mrs. Cheng doesn’t care about this matter, what are you doing after all the talking and asking?!”

“Didn’t you come for me in the first place?” Shaoshang said calmly.

The oval-faced girl choked.

“Although this matter is Mr. Ling’s fault, you are coming after me. No matter what I do, it will end up involving me. I’ll just say it myself first. I’d better be jealous and don’t tolerate concubine Ji. Just spread whatever bad things you want to say about me outside. Anyway, in the end every time, I am always the one who suffers…” She looked at Ling Buyi, her eyes provocative and frank.

Ling Buyi looked at her steadily for a while, then turned to ask the palace maid aside: “It’s almost time, let them bring the fifth prince up.”

Shaoshang was stunned, wondering what to do with the fifth prince.She raised her head to look at everyone in confusion, and saw that the queen, the five princesses, and even the girl with an oval-shaped face were all confused and confused. Only the plump girl’s eyes flickered, seeming to be frightened.

Soon, two strong eunuchs “supported” the fifth prince, who was moaning all the time, up to the palace, and then skillfully “dumped” him in front of Ling Buyi.

The fifth prince seemed to have been caught from the banquet. The smell of alcohol was still on his face. He lay on the ground and screamed: “Mother, help me, the Eleventh Prince is bullying me again! I haven’t done anything these days, mother, help me!”

The queen said: “Zisheng, why did you invite the fifth prince here?”

Shao Shang secretly muttered, “Queen, your partiality is too obvious. The fifth prince is still paralyzed on the ground and cannot get up. Is there such a “please”?”

Ling Buyi didn’t hesitate, he stood up and dragged the fifth prince, and forcefully pulled the hem of his clothes outward, revealing one side of his white shoulder and back.

Everyone looked up and saw a few bloody marks from fingernails on the Fifth Prince’s shoulders and back, as well as an extremely obvious bite mark from his teeth.Everyone made a sound of inhaling – these were the scratches and bites made by the woman when the man and the woman were making out, and the scars were still fresh, obviously they had just been made.

Only Shao Shang reacted a little slower and said blankly: “Hey, the fifth prince was bitten.”

The queen looked at her with a smile, then looked at her daughter, her eyes became cold for a while; then she looked at the fifth prince who looked embarrassed, and she basically knew what was going on.

Ling Buyi strode forward and picked up the purple napkin that the plump girl had dropped on the ground when she was frightened – there happened to be a circle of teeth marks on it, and then he took it to the fifth prince’s bite marks to compare.

“Hey, the fifth prince was bitten by this sister.” Shao Shang said with a smile. She thought she understood the meaning of the comparison, but it took a few seconds to realize what it meant.Even though she didn’t know enough about body positions, it was obviously not a coincidence that she could bite this place under her clothes.

The faces of the fifth princess and the girl with a melon-shaped face were very ugly. She knew that the plump girl had been in love for a long time, otherwise they would not have chosen her, but they didn’t expect that it was the fifth prince!

The fifth prince covered his shoulders and smiled apologetically to the queen: “Mother, hehe, queen, please don’t be angry. I have known her for a long time. Hehe, last night… I didn’t mean to mess around in the palace…”

Ling Buyi let go of the fifth prince’s clothes, and then threw away the purple hat with disgust on his face: “This lady did have a lot of fun last night, but not with Ling, but with the fifth prince.”

The plump girl was so ashamed that she fell to the ground and begged for forgiveness.

The fifth prince was surprised: “Ah, of course it’s with me, why are you involved again? Ah! You, you, you…” he suddenly understood, pointed at the plump girl and cursed angrily, “You cheap maid, are you coveting the glory and wealth of the eleventh son, and deliberately dragging him! I also plan to let you in after the house is divided!”

The plump girl bit her lip and secretly resented it. If it weren’t for your disfavor and the delay in dividing the house, I wouldn’t have volunteered to take on this job to the Fifth Princess.

The oval-faced girl saw that the situation was not good and quietly poked the fifth princess in the leg.

The fifth princess understood and said loudly: “It’s all my daughter’s fault. My daughter has also been deceived. Please forgive me, Queen Mother. It’s because my daughter has a soft ear and listened to this wretched maid’s nonsense. When I turn around, my daughter will slowly interrogate this wretched maid…”

“There’s no need for that.” The queen was filled with disappointment and didn’t even look at the fifth princess. “Come here, please send this slanderous maid to Yue Niang’s garden to be looked after, and then we can punish her.”

The fifth princess felt cold. She could not move freely in the Yue Concubine’s place like she could in other places in the palace.

The queen turned around and said in a cold tone: “…This is how you came to celebrate my birthday. Okay, you all go back.”

The plump girl knew that she would definitely be punished this time, so she hugged the fifth prince’s legs while yelling, begging him to save her for the sake of past kindness; the fifth prince ignored her, kicked her away and left angrily.Before the fifth princess left, she glanced at her comfortingly, and the plump girl felt a little reassured.

Shao Shang stood up quietly, watching the farce come to an abrupt end, and then looking at the lonely figure of the queen sitting with her back turned, a feeling of desolation suddenly arose in his heart.With her heart full of worries, she slowly walked out of the palace door, and when she was about to turn to her room, a strong hand suddenly stretched out from behind and pulled her into an empty palace room.Before Shao Shang could scream, he was turned around and saw the person clearly.

She doesn’t struggle anymore, and she doesn’t have to scream anymore.

Ling Buyi looked at her: “How happy are you to see me being humiliated for no reason today?”

Shaoshang thought for a moment and gloated: “It’s quite enjoyable.”

Ling Buyi looked at her for a while: “Did you see the bite marks on the fifth prince’s shoulder and back?”

“I saw it.” This man is becoming more and more erratic. How did he change his words?

“That’s good.” Ling Buyi nodded, then quickly grabbed her arms, pushed the girl’s back into his arms, hugged the girl’s petite body with one arm, and used the other hand to pull her collar, “What if I bite you in the same position.”

Shaoshang froze. The young man’s wrought iron-hard arms were like a copper wall. She couldn’t break away at all. When he looked back, he saw that his graceful light red lips had opened, revealing his white teeth.

She was scared for a second——

“No, no, no, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have laughed at your joke. If you have something to say, it’s okay to say it!”

“When humans were born, dogs didn’t bark, so why did they bite?”

“A gentleman doesn’t move his mouth…don’t even move his mouth!”

“Calm down, stay calm! Don’t be impulsive!”

“Let’s talk properly…!”
