My Scheming Little Devil

Bai Sijia was infuriated, unwilling to bow down to Ye Lu, as it was a disgrace.

However, she was aware that if she did not apologize and dredged up this issue, it would ultimately tarnish her reputation, how infuriating!

She muttered, "I’m sorry," without wanting anyone around to see her bowing to this woman.

Ye Lu rubbed her ear, raised her chin, "I didn’t hear it clearly, what did you say?"

"I’m sorry," Bai Sijia had to speak louder.

"Are you a quail? Your voice is as soft as a mosquito’s, unclear. Moreover, who exactly are you apologizing to? You didn’t specify. Who knows who you are apologizing to?" Ye Lu laughed maliciously, unwilling to let it go.

Bai Sijia was infuriated, really wanting to slap this arrogant woman’s face, if not for Duke Hai Lanse standing in the way and her own guilt, she would have really made a move.

"I’m sorry, Miss Ye Lu." She was so angry that she raised her voice.

Suddenly, the guests around turned their heads in surprise, looking at them, with whispers all around.

Bai Sijia instantly realized that she had fallen into a trap, apologizing so loudly, originally not many people paid attention to them, now everyone knows she was apologizing and bowing to Ye Lu.

Her face turned red and white alternately, feeling like she wanted to find a hole and hide.

"I accept your apology; remember not to be so smelly-mouthed in the future, it’s suffocating." Ye Lu was smiling at her, then arrogantly turned around, holding Hai Lanse’s hand and left.

Bai Sijia clenched her fists in resentment.

"Sister Sijia, why did you apologize to that woman? You have such a high status, how could you bow down to such a woman." A few wealthy ladies gathered around, indignant for her.

Bai Sijia’s face turned even worsely grim: "I will make a comeback. Later, let her watch the glory of me and King being received by the Queen together, she will be jealous."

The image of herself and the King being received together definitely would make Ye Lu jealous. Thinking about this made her feel a little better.

"Sister Sijia is so powerful, even if women like her can get in, they will never have the chance to shake hands with the Queen in their lifetime."

After the Queen chatted with the officials for a while, a courtier by her side walked towards the crowd, heading towards ThirdYoung Master Jun.

"Mr. Jun, the Queen invites you over!"

The men around looked at ThirdYoung Master Jun with great envy. Everyone wanted this honor because it was a symbol of status.

However, ThirdYoung Master Jun did not show too much excitement or joy. His handsome face wore an elegant yet indifferent expression, calmly walking out from amongst the guests, crossing the crowd under their admiring gaze, and walked towards the Queen.

This didn’t look like a meeting, but more like a meeting between a king of one country and the queen of another country. Not a hint of subordination was in his demeanor despite the fact that she was the Queen. This only accentuated his unique demeanor.

All the guests were amazed and couldn’t help but admire him. Whoever can behave so casually is not a simple man.

What they didn’t know was that ThirdYoung Master Jun had met many heads of constitutional monarchies and didn’t think this was a particularly honorable thing.

The courtier then walked towards the ladies.

Bai Sijia instantly got excited. Her heart was pounding; her face was trying her best to show an elegant and natural smile. She was thinking about how she should manifest the most appropriate and noble etiquette later, to become the most eye-catching lady of the evening.

"Looking at her proud appearance, it must be her, right?" Ye Yuan, who had disappeared to somewhere, came back holding a velvet court fan in her hand.

Ye Lu looked at Bai Sijia’s not-so-fully-concealed triumphant expression.
