Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 218 Gong Yuanzheng 5

Her feet were wet, but Qingyue, who was constantly fighting outside, didn't care at all. What was a little wetness? Back then, she was still fighting non-stop with her feet in blood.

Qingyue kept glancing at the brides around her out of the corner of her eye.

These brides are all beautiful, each with their own unique charm. One or two of them share the same type of attributes: delicate, sweet, and somewhat like noble ladies from a prominent family.

There is one person who is different; her category is aloof and elegant.

Ok?

Aren't the makeup and styling on their faces supposed to be uniform?

Did the three brides add their own ideas to the mix?

Why did they choose to apply small pearls to their faces and use thick, heavy red nail polish on their hands, unlike the natural, seamless finish that most women use?

Two brides have four pearls glued to their eyes, while one has seven. What is the meaning behind this?

"Sister, it seems like you've been watching me the whole time."

A voice interrupted Qingyue's thoughts.

Qingyue looked up at the sound and saw a delicate bride.

Her gaze was quite difficult for ordinary people to detect, but by testing her, she actually managed to create an extraordinary bride.

"I'm sorry, but I've been thinking about your makeup. I wish I had added something to my face to make myself more distinctive and to get noticed by the young master."

After saying that, Qingyue smiled shyly.

"So this is what you were looking at." Shangguan Qian placed her fingertip on the pearl at the corner of her eye: "The maid who did my makeup thought adding something would make it more exquisite, so she put it on me."

"Ah, if only my maid were half as clever as yours," Qingyue said regretfully. "When I have the chance, I must talk to my father and ask him to give me a smarter maid."

Shangguan Qian smiled gently, probably thinking that she was overthinking it; it was common for noble ladies from prominent families to love beauty.

The makeup and styling were already so generic, but they added something extra to her look, which inevitably made people a little angry.

"My name is Shangguan Qian, what's yours?"

Qingyue said with a proud look on her face, "I am the fourth young lady of the Song family, Song Yueqing."

Because of her asthma, the fourth young lady of the Song family had never been seen by outsiders. She was always referred to as the Fourth Young Lady of the Song family.

Coincidentally, Miss Song's name contains the character "月" (yue, meaning moon), so her family calls her Yueyue.

She also has the character "玥" (yue), but it has an extra radical. The pronunciation is the same, so what's wrong with it?

Seeing her like this, Shangguan Qian felt even more strongly that this person was just an ordinary noblewoman.

"So it's the fourth young lady of the Song family."

"It's good that you know." Qingyue perfectly embodied the image of a spoiled girl.

Shangguan Qian laughed inwardly; this young lady was truly an idiot.

"By the way, those two also have pearls on their faces. Did you conspire to get the young master of the palace's attention?"

Qingyue pointed to the two brides in the opposite cell.

Just as Shangguan Qian had dismissed her suspicions, they rose again when she said those words.

Did Miss Song discover something?

"I don't know those older sisters now, and I suppose it was the maid's idea that she didn't know them."

Upon hearing this, Qingyue looked furious.

"How come all the maids are so clever, while our maids are so stupid that they don't even know how to stick some small pearls on them?"

Another noblewoman quickly chimed in, "That's right, if we had known we could change our makeup, we should have done it too."

She knew the Song family; they were a very capable family, someone her family needed to curry favor with.

"Sister Song, don't be too angry, take care of your health."

Jiang Lili had heard that the fourth young lady of the Song family was in poor health and had asthma, and that she came to the palace to treat her asthma.

This was the message her family gave her before she left, telling her not to take this spoiled and dull-witted Miss Song to heart.

Qingyue looked over suspiciously; she seemed to know Miss Song Si, yet she also seemed not to.

"you are?"

"I am Miss Jiang, Jiang Lili." Jiang Lili generously stated her name.

Qingyue: "They're from the Jiang family!"

"Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful."

The Jiang family and the Song family were of similar social class, but lived in completely opposite places, so their acquaintance was probably just based on some rumors.

If they had actually met, they would have asked her long ago why she looked different from Miss Song.

Seeing no odd expression in Jiang Lili's eyes, he realized that she hadn't been exposed. It was fortunate that Miss Song Si was in poor health and rarely went out, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to keep up the act.

The young ladies acted as if they had recognized each other, which dispelled Shangguan Qian's earlier suspicions.

They also received some useful information: Miss Song's health is very poor, which they can use to their advantage later.

Not to mention, those with poor health were considered, but none of them were chosen. The standard for brides chosen by the palace was that they should be healthy and easy to give birth to. Miss Song Si was clearly not that type.

This idea is present in both the aloof and the serene brides, both of whom, like Shangguan Qian, wear pearls and nail polish.

Gang Qingyue was referring to these two brides.

Qingyue glanced carefully at the nail polish on their nails. She couldn't ask any more questions; doing so would be going too far and would be counterproductive.

This kind of heavy nail polish is not beautiful at all. No noble lady of any status would wear this kind of nail polish. If someone were to apply this kind of nail polish to a noble lady, they would probably be disgraced.

Ah, it seems my brother guessed right; the palace gates really are like dice.

Regardless of whether these three women are Wu Feng or not, they are certainly not ordinary ladies from prominent families.

As long as they are not without ambition, Qingyue doesn't care at all what their purpose is for the palace.

If one of them is confirmed to be strikerless, then the other two must be as well, after all, there are hardly any coincidences in the world!

After they fell silent, two men walked over and stood in front of their cells.

The cold and aloof bride's expression changed instantly, becoming somewhat frightened, and she appeared rather frail.

Qingyue rolled her eyes at herself and joined the panicked crowd.

This is absolutely disgusting. Do men only like women who look like this?

No wonder no man has ever expressed his love for her; her personality is completely unrelated to anything like being weak or delicate.

She was almost vomiting herself.

It's only been the first day of installation and it's already this uncomfortable, what am I going to do in the days to come!

If she had known, she would have preferred to switch places with her brother, the emperor. She could have been the emperor and attended court, while her brother would have taken her place as the bride.

The two do look somewhat alike.

He should have been given a good beating before he left the house. What a terrible idea!

The man in the lead was quite handsome, but he looked incredibly weak; he wouldn't even be able to withstand a single punch from her female army.

Gong Ziyu glanced around at the brides in the cell. All the brides seemed to be pinning their hopes on him, unable to take their eyes off him.

Hey girls, there are so many handsome guys in her army now, all strong and fit, with great physiques, all with perfect six-pack abs, and some who aren't trained enough have eight.
