Jun Mo stood in the middle of the banquet hall. His black hair was held up by a purple and gold crown, and he was wearing a four-clawed python robe, which made him seem colder as well as more domineering.

Just by standing there, his superb and extraordinary aura immediately permeated the whole place and fascinated everyone.

Su Kui winked at him and grinned.

He was such a captivating man…

The women present kept stealing glances at him, and their reactions proved how attractive this man was.

People said that beautiful women were the root of trouble, but that was because they had never met a man named Jun Mo.

Jun Mo’s heart was itching. He moved his hands, wishing that he could grab his little lady who was smiling at him, and squeeze her.

Luckily, he was able to react in time and stop the crazy desire that was about to burst out of his chest.

He had a more important thing to do.

At a corner where the lights were dim and people were talking softly, a high-pitched voice broke the lively conversations.

“Announcing the arrival of His Majesty and Her Royal Highness,” the Grand Eunuch in crimson clothing said as he dragged the end of his syllables while he held a fly-whisk. His voice did not sound masculine or feminine, and it made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable when they heard it.

However, it also succeeded in making everyone quiet. They instantly knelt down.

“We pay our respect to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty.

“May you have good health, Your Royal Highness. Long live Your Royal Highness.

Su Kui was dragged into the crowd of people. She looked down and sneered. Long live? They sure were ambitious. It would be laughable if they could even live until a hundred years old.

A certain figure suddenly caught her eye. He was standing straight and not budging.

The proud and aloof figure that stood among a group of kneeling people was extremely eye-catching.

His aura was especially that of someone who seemed to look down on the world. It was even more powerful than the emperor’s aura.

Su Kui’s eyesight had always been good. Even though she was far away, she believed that she was not mistaken.

Dread flashed in the eyes of the youthful emperor, who had a handsome face.

She narrowed her eyes. It looked like the emperor was about to deal with Jun Mo.

It was expected. Someone in a high position would never enjoy not having all the power in his own hands. Currently, Jun Mo held most of the power, and it appeared that he wanted to replace him, which caused the emperor to lose sleep.

By the looks of things, the emperor could not wait to get rid of him.

She glanced at Jun Mo from the side. He still maintained that indifferent expression and was scarily calm.

Su Kui’s cat-like eyes were half-closed. She did not believe that he was not clear about it!

To be honest, even though Su Kui knew the script and was able to see through everyone, she could not see through Jun Mo.

What did he want? What did he want to do?

While she was engrossed in staring at Jun Mo for a moment, he unexpectedly looked back with a murderous gaze as if he had discovered that someone was spying on him.

When he realized that it was Su Kui, his murderous gaze immediately disappeared. His cold air, which had never dissipated in his whole life, melted right away as if it had been burned.

A bureaucrat who was kneeling beside him was surprised. Why did the prince’s aura change so much in that short amount of time?

Su Kui did not expect to fail in peeping and get caught instead. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she blushed. She stuck her tongue out and looked down while she pretended to be ashamed.

“Haha.”

Jun Mo chuckled. A cool and deep sound came out of his throat.

“You may all rise. Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I specially invite all of you to watch the moon with me. Don’t be too reserved, just sit down!” the young emperor who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe said sternly. 

He did seem to have a certain kind of aura.

It was far worse when compared with Jun Mo’s, though. She wondered why Jun Mo lost in the end. 

‘Is it because of plot armor?’ Su Kui wondered in secret.
