Chapter 251: How Can I Be Worthy of Her
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Those who were arranged to sit in remote seats were the daughters of some minor officials. They were not considered noble daughters.
A daughter of the Grand Chancellor’s wife had suddenly been thrown in, and she even had a family with her. The one who had been brought in was the Silly Second Prince!
Both of them were of noble status, but they were the laughing stock of the Capital City, the kind with a bad reputation. It was inevitable that people would whisper:
“Originally, I heard that Eldest Young Lady Liu was an unfaithful woman. On the eve of the consort selection, she destroyed her future and seduced Silly Second Prince. At that time, I still didn’t believe it! Now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, she actually brought a man to our female seats. She’s shameless enough!”
“Isn’t that so? She doesn’t want her reputation, nor is she afraid of affecting our reputation.”
“How many lifetimes have we been unlucky? How did we get arranged to sit next to them? Now, our reputation has been ruined!”

Complaints were going around.
Huangfu Lingyao sat at the very edge. If he walked a little further, he would be at the door. On the other side was Liu Shimei. Huangfu Lingyao was not sitting with the other young ladies.
Hearing their complaints, he lowered his head and glanced at Liu Shimei.
However, she did not feel anything. It was as if she didn’t hear a word. She lowered her head and peeled the apple seriously.
After a while, the peel was done. She cut it into pieces and placed it on the plate. She stabbed the fork into the apple and moved it to him. She looked up at him and smiled. “Eat.”
At this moment, Huangfu Lingyao really wanted to kiss her!
But in front of so many people, he could not do it. He could only lower his gaze and pick up his fork to eat a piece.
After thinking for a while, he picked up another piece and brought it to her mouth. He smiled and said, “Wife, you eat too!”
Liu Shimei opened her mouth and accepted it impolitely.
Huangfu Lingyao smiled and thought, ‘This is my wife. She’s not pretentious, she’s hardworking, she’s strong, gentle, and considerate, and she’s as beautiful as a fairy… Tsk tsk, too many words of praise were not enough to describe how good she was. How can I be worthy of her?’
As he was thinking, footsteps came from outside the door, and the eunuch sang loudly, “His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!”
Everyone stood up. Liu Shimei also pulled Huangfu Lingyao to stand up.
She had yet to swallow the apple in her mouth. She thought, ‘Anyway, it doesn’t matter to me in this position. I’ll just pretend.’
Therefore, she was just being polite.
As for Huangfu Lingyao…
He was a fool. He did not even bow to the Emperor when he saw him, so who was the Crown Prince?
Liu Shimei was so focused on fooling around with these rules that she did not notice that a young lady on her other side had quietly moved her chair.
After Huangfu He entered, he looked straight ahead and walked to the main seat above the golden steps. He turned around and said, “Stand up. There are no rules outside. Everyone, please sit down!”
Liu Shimei planned to sit down.
However, her butt landed on nothing. The feeling of weightlessness made her unconsciously exclaim, “All!”
Fortunately, Huangfu Lingyao caught her in time, so she did not fall to the ground!
Seeing that she had made a fool of herself, the young lady beside her was delighted and covered her mouth as she laughed.
She was not very smart either. With just one glance, people could tell that she was the one who had done this!
The young lady also planned to sit down, but she did not expect Huangfu Lingyao to kick her stool far away. When she sat down, she really fell on her butt!
“All!”
Her scream was sharp and attracted everyone’s attention, including Huangfu He, who was looking for Liu Shimei’s seat!
