The General's Banquet (II)

'Ren Shou went to Li Amm directly.'

'"Your seat is beside me."'

'Gasp.'

'This came from a lady who was beside Li Amm.'

'Ren Shou ignored that and offered his hand to Li Amm.'

'Li Amm had no qualms about the ladies' glare and accepted his hands. She had been eyeing those seats too. Ren Shou's seat was on the second row from the higher seat. So from that position

one could see everything in the banquet. Besides

the real reason why she wanted to seat in that area was that there were many servants who were standing at the side and holding a fan. Mind you

she was wearing multiple clothes

it was a bit crowded to the lady area and there was only one servant that was funning her.'

'Li Amm was happy as she sat beside Ren Shou. She felt the cool wind and felt refreshed. She smiled at the servants who were working hard to fan her and Ren Shou. But then she remembered she was wearing a veil so she voiced out her thanks.'

'"Thank you

for your hard work." 'Keep fanning more.''

'The three servants who were fanning her were stunned. It was the first time a noble thanked them. They felt moved and bowed. They keep fanning harder.'

'Li Amm becomes happier because of this.'

'Ren Shou noticed this little scene and felt grateful that he chose the right wangfei. For sure his residence would be more peaceful and lively with this lady around.'

'Another shout came from the front.'

'"The crown prince and the crown princess have arrived. Please rise!" All the people stand up.'

'The two new arrivals went to Ren Shou.'

'"It's been so long

cousin. I heard of your great achievements. The empire is thankful for your protection. " The crown prince greeted Ren Shou with warm words. However

his eyes were not warm at all.'

'Ren Shou

of course

noticed the crown prince's cold gaze. But he still smiled boastfully.'

'"Of course

I need to work hard for the empire and the royal family. It was to return his majesty's grace."'

'The crown prince did not say anything more as he already gave him his greeting.'

'The crown princess greeted Ren Shou politely but her eyes were not polite at all. She was feasting on the living aphrodisiac.'

'Ren Shou felt her gaze and moved closer to Li Amm's side.'

'The crown prince and the crown princess noticed his action. Then they both turned to Li Amm's direction to scrutinized her.'

'Seeing them observing his future wife. Ren Shou spoke.'

'"Your seat is over there. You must be tired of standing

"'

'The crown prince gave one last glance at Li Amm. While the crown princess squinted her eyes at her.'

''As expected of the royal family! Their gaze was so full of hidden depths and schemes. It's a live historical drama!' Li Amm had a lot of expectations to these drama. This is the imperial family after all.'

'"Are you alright?" Ren Shou asked Li Amm. She had been given a death glare by that shemale (a/n: Ren Shou was talking about the crown princess) and been stared at by that disgusting man.'

'Li Amm doesn't feel threatened. She was been exposed to major figures in her past life. She too was a legendary figure as well

though

it was on the business industry. But she was stared at and been threatened by gazes worsed than that a lot. She got used to it.'

'"I'm fine. How about you? Are you scared to that pretty girl?" Li Amm was talking about the crown princess who stared openly at Ren Shou.'

'Ren Shou was taken aback for a while. His mouth was agape as he couldn't believe that someone asked a general

the god of war in the battlefield

if he was afraid of a lady.'

'"No. Of course not. I'm not afraid of women." Ren Shou shook his head like his life depended on it.'

'"Ohhhh." Li Amm said not believing him. She just found out that this young man was actually afraid of women.'

'Hearing her tone

Ren Shou knew she did not believe him.'

'"I'm really not! I even killed women before!"'

'Li Amm was stunned.'

'"Is that something to boast about?" Killing was still too much for her. Even though in these ancient times

life doesn't matter

for her it mattered the most.'

'Ren Shou knew he got overboard. He sighed then explained.'

'"I did not kill innocent women. I killed those who were trying to kill me." Especially when a tribute was sent from other kingdoms to his armies

some of the prostitutes were actually a planted spy and trained soldiers. Some were even sent to his bed to assassinate him.'

'"Sigh. I don't want to understand. That's the rule of this world. " Li Amm muttered. She doesn't really have the right to judge Ren Shou's action. But she had a principle where all life matters to her. Be it an enemy or whatnot. No matter which life. She might be called a hypocrite. But that's her belief that grown alongside her. And she planned to still uphold in this world.'

'Ren Shou was flustered. Li Amm's disinterest expression bothered him.'

'' They said that ladies were fragile. That a sight of blood would make them fainted. Is my woman like that too? She doesn't like the idea of killing.' This thought bothered Ren Shou a lot as he killing to him was like an exercise. That was his job after all.'

'He was bothered for a while of how to erase the scent of blood on him after he had gone to war or when he killed someone when the eunuch shouted again.'

'"His majesty

the Emperor and the Empress had arrived!"'

'All the people kneeled on the ground.'

'Including Li Amm. No one raised their heads as long as the Emperor had not spoken yet.'

'"Please rise." All the people followed.'

'Li Amm took a look at the old man who was walking towards them.'

'The emperor looked sickly. He was thin and pale. There was no majestic aura that Li Amm was looking forward too. But at least his golden robes and gold crown on his hair was majestic looking. He looked like an old wealthy man.'

'The Empress

however

looked like a maiden in her late twenties. She has a smile of a generous woman. But with the sickly old man at her side

she looked like a woman who was leeching off from the old man and been happily waiting for the old man to die.'

'Li Amm looked at the emperor again to stopped her imaginative thoughts.'

'His majesty

the emperor smiled at Ren Shou. His smile looked the same as the crown prince.'

'"My nephew

it's been a long time. I heard of your great achievements from the northern sides. The citizen of the empire is grateful for your hard work and protection." The emperor said with a gaze of a superior.'

''Ehh..why it sounds so familiar?' Li Amm looked at the crown prince who was on the same row.'

'The crown prince noticed her gaze and looked away. The cold guy was embarrassed.'
