Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

Little did he know that standing beside the Empress, a woman with a mean face was looking at Xiao Jingyi with resentment.

They didn't bow to me?! They actually didn't bow to me?!

They even ignored me?

Thinking of this, Consort Yue raised her neck, like a proud swan.

She cleared her throat and said, "Prince Yi, I know you haven't been to the capital for a long time and have probably forgotten some of the rules. You didn't even bow to me when you saw me. Do you know that this behavior is not good? If word gets out, it will bring shame to our royal family."

"..."

Upon hearing this, not only Xiao Jingyi, but even the Empress Nihuang frowned.

They're up to their old tricks again.

Consort Yue and the others all knew that, relying on the emperor's favor, she did whatever she wanted in the harem, and often even rivaled the empress.

She is arrogant because she is favored.

Nihuang looked at Xiao Jingyi with some worry, afraid that he would suffer a loss.

However, Xiao Jingyi squatted down in front of the Empress Dowager and talked to the old lady, completely ignoring Consort Yue's words.

This action made Consort Yue's face even darker.

"Disrespectful to elders and disregard for etiquette, no wonder the Ministry of Rites wants to impeach you, Prince Yi. Do you believe I will tell His Majesty about this and punish you severely!"

Seeing that Consort Yue was getting angrier and angrier, while the Empress watched the scene expressionlessly, Princess Nihuang felt even more displeased.

Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Jingyi whispered to the Empress Dowager, "Great-Grandmother, wait for me."

After saying that, he stood up and smiled politely, "You keep talking about formalities, but I ask you, Consort Yue, what virtue or ability do you have to accept my bow?"

“The royal law stipulates that all princes, when wearing a jeweled crown, regardless of the number of jewels, are exempt from bowing to His Majesty, the Empress, and their birth mother after entering the palace.”

"You are not my birth mother, why should I bow to you?"

"Look at your arrogant and sarcastic demeanor. You want me to bow to you? Do you think you're on par with the Empress?"

"How can you, a mere concubine, compare to the Empress?"

"If word gets out about what you've done, what will the world think of the royal family?"

Xiao Jingyi's words left Consort Yue speechless.

She wanted to refute him, but found that she couldn't refute him at all. Moreover, with his last words, everyone looked at Consort Yue.

After all, everyone in the harem knew that Consort Yue was not the empress, but she often acted as if she were.

Seeing this, the Empress broke the deadlock: "Consort Yue, it was wrong of you to reprimand Prince Yi. Please be careful with your words and actions in the future."

The Empress was pleased with what Xiao Jingyi had just said.

You should know that when Consort Yue became too powerful, she was the most uncomfortable person in the harem.

That retort just now really revealed what was on her mind.

Her gaze toward Xiao Jingyi softened further.

Good boy, this is a good boy.

He then said to Xiao Jingyi, "Jingyi, don't say things carelessly. If this gets out, it will damage the royal family's reputation. Consort Yue has forgotten this rule. Please don't take it to heart."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing the Empress's words, Xiao Jingyi replied, glancing mockingly at Consort Yue.

Some people are just being sarcastic and always want to be criticized.

Xiao Jingyi then continued to talk with the Empress Dowager.

until.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Su and the others have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi's ears twitched, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Mei Changsu, we've finally met.

PS: I just checked the comments section, dear readers. I'm working hard to update. Also, the Embroidered Uniform Guards will have their character development improved later, and the protagonist will train them.

One more thing, in Chapter 22, the people sitting in the first seat should be Yaoyue and Yanfei. I didn't think it through when I was typing, and it became Yaoyue and Lianxing. It has been corrected now.

Lianxing will appear later.

027 Mei Changsu: I just use a basic attack, and you immediately unleash your ultimate? (Seeking flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets)

"Let them in."

Upon hearing the palace maid's words, the Empress immediately responded.

Before long, Mei Changsu, Xiao Jingrui, and Yan Yujin were brought in.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine."

Since the three of them did not have Xiao Jingyi's identity, they could only bow to everyone in turn.

"Get up, everyone."

The Empress Dowager said, but when she turned her gaze to Mei Changsu, Xiao Jingyi clearly felt her body tremble and her hands shake slightly.

As expected... the Empress Dowager recognized Mei Changsu at first glance.

After all, in the drama, the Empress Dowager kept calling him "Little Shu," which already made people suspicious.

Now that he noticed the Empress Dowager's unusual expression, Xiao Jingyi was certain that Mei Changsu had indeed been recognized.

However, he didn't say anything, but simply got up and silently retreated to Nihuang's side.

Then, naturally, the scene from the story unfolded, with the Empress Dowager calling him "Little Shu" repeatedly, bestowing snacks upon him, and showing concern for his well-being.

They just didn't let Princess Nihuang and Mei Changsu hold hands.

There was nothing they could do; Xiao Jingyi had snatched it away.

The group only withdrew when the Empress Dowager was too tired.

"Nihuang, send Jingrui and Yujin away later."

Xiao Jingyi and Nihuang came out first. When she heard his words, Nihuang was very puzzled, but she did not refuse and immediately nodded to show that she understood.

When Mei Changsu and the other two came out, she immediately went up to them and called Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin away.

Although the two didn't understand, they still obediently nodded. They had no choice but to listen to Princess Nihuang.

For a moment, only Xiao Jingyi and Mei Changsu remained in the room.

"Shall we take a walk?"

Xiao Jingyi said.

Mei Changsu suddenly realized something, because he had often said the same thing when he was with Xiao Jingyi.

But he quickly regained his composure, bowed and said, "His Highness Prince Yi has invited me, and I, Su, dare not refuse."

The two then walked quietly through the palace until they reached the vicinity of the Yeyouting.

Seeing that no one was around, Mei Changsu finally spoke up: "Your Highness Prince Yi, may I ask what business you have with me?"

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"You had the princess send Jingrui and Yujin away, wasn't it so you could have a chat with me?"

Mei Changsu said it directly.

"hehe."

Hearing his directness, Xiao Jingyi chuckled and then said even more directly, "I just want to take a quiet walk and have a chat with my old friend."

"Why do you think I have ulterior motives?"

Old friend! ?

Upon hearing this, Mei Changsu was greatly moved. His pupils contracted as he looked at Xiao Jingyi beside him, and suddenly an unrealistic idea popped into his head.

He recognized me!

That's right, that's the feeling Xiao Jingyi gave Mei Changsu.

However, Mei Changsu was also very determined. He quickly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said to him, "Your Highness Prince Yi, I did not know that I had met you before."

"Yes, this is the first time we've met you with this appearance. You used to have a different appearance."

!!!

Upon hearing this, Mei Changsu stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Xiao Jingyi, a chill running down his spine.

His eyes were filled with shock.

Mei Changsu originally wanted to use this meeting to test Xiao Jingyi.

He had only managed to land one basic attack when Xiao Jingyi unleashed his ultimate skill, completely stunning him.

No, is everyone this direct now?

I originally wanted to hide my identity, but now there's no point in hiding it at all.

Mei Changsu pondered in his mind where he had made a mistake.

Little did he know, Xiao Jingyi was a time traveler.

"Don't overthink it. I won't reveal your identity. Besides, I was able to find you because I have people in charge of intelligence."

"You've been poisoned by the Fire and Ice Poison, haven't you?"

Seeing that Mei Changsu was intimidated by him, Xiao Jingyi was quite happy.

Anyone who has interacted with Mei Changsu knows that he always maintains a calm and collected demeanor and rarely shows any signs of losing his composure.

If he had obtained an achievement system, he would probably have already obtained a hidden achievement: to shock Mei Changsu.

Mei Changsu was initially shocked that Xiao Jingyi knew his identity, and even more shocked when he heard Xiao Jingyi reveal that he had been poisoned by the Fire and Ice Poison.

Now he could be completely certain that Xiao Jingyi had indeed identified him.

Coming to his senses, Mei Changsu swallowed hard and said, "I didn't expect you to know all this. I was originally planning to test you to see if you had already given up on yourself, as the outside world says."

"But now it seems there's no need to test you anymore. From the moment you knew me, I knew you had deceived everyone in Daliang."

"Prince Yi, you are truly admirable."

"It's alright. After all, that incident back then had a significant impact. I've been handpicked as the next Prince Qi. What do you think I should do?"

"It will either perish or fade into obscurity."

Xiao Jingyi said calmly.

Because there was no one within dozens of meters of him, he didn't hide anything.

"That's just like you. You always have a long-term perspective and are always able to maximize benefits and minimize harm."

“Indeed, if you were to show your brilliance again, you could become the next Prince Qi, but you would surely die. If you were to remain silent, you could live.”

Mei Changsu put himself in Xiao Jingyi's shoes and realized that only by remaining silent could one survive.

At the same time, his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Xiao Jingyi.

For a 12-year-old boy to give up all wealth and glory and become ordinary, what incredible willpower that must take.

Even Mei Changsu himself couldn't do that.

After all, who doesn't like to show off when they're young and carefree?

"more or less."

"How do you need my cooperation this time you've returned?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi said calmly that he knew Mei Changsu's plan, but if he acted as if he knew everything, it would only arouse suspicion and distrust, and even cause the two of them to drift further apart.

So he pretended not to know and asked.

He understood the principle that too much of a good thing is bad.

"I...."

Upon hearing his question, Mei Changsu paused for a moment and glanced at Xiao Jingyi.
