Chapter 533: The Empress baits the trap, beauty trap

"Lord Shangguan, is that really okay?"

Gao Yang took a deep breath.

To be honest, at this moment, he was very tempted, even coveting it for a long time.

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Gao Yang, then said coldly and irritably, "Lord Gao, this official saw that when you patted the Great Princess of Great Chu just now, your technique was extremely experienced and without hesitation."

"What? Am I not as good as the princess of Great Chu?"

As she spoke, Shangguan Wan'er straightened her body, showing off her curves, even stretching the dark green robe.

These words carried a hint of sourness.

Even if Gao Yang's reaction was slow, he realized it now.

When he made his move, he had clearly looked left and right, but he didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er to have seen it. This was a bit awkward.

"Lord Shangguan's figure is naturally beyond reproach, but this butt!"

"Let's do it another day."

Gao Yang said with a guilty conscience.

"Hmph!"

"Red beans grow in the southern land, how many branches sprout in spring."

"I wish for you to pick more, this is the most longing thing."

"Lord Gao, this poem, this red bean, is truly sarcastic!"

Shangguan Wan'er snorted coldly, reciting the poem Gao Yang had written, her cold eyes fixed on Gao Yang.

It was hard to imagine that there could be such a shameless person in the world.

But she happened to have some feelings for Gao Yang.

What a sin!

Gao Yang's old face turned red.

"Lord Shangguan, believe this official, this official was only doing it for Da Qian, wanting to teach the Great Princess of Great Chu a harsh lesson; there was no worldly desire!"

His strategy of taking and eating at the same time was shattered at this moment.

"Lord Gao, you should save these words to explain to His Majesty."

"Molesting the Great Princess of Great Chu is no small crime."

Shangguan Wan'er then strode away.

"Lord Shangguan, don't!"

"His Majesty is busy with ten thousand tasks; there is absolutely no need to disturb His Majesty with this!"

Gao Yang hurriedly chased after her.

Inside the Imperial Study.

Wu Zhao was dining, with some exquisite meals in front of her. She had changed into a simple and comfortable robe, but it still couldn't hide her peerless elegance.

"Lord Gao, let's dine together."

Seeing Gao Yang step into the Imperial Study, Wu Zhao said casually.

Facing Wu Zhao, Gao Yang was not polite, sitting down directly and decisively starting to eat.

Although Wu Zhao's lunch was not extravagant, it was, after all, the Emperor's meal, and the standard was very high: a plate of crystal-clear venison, a plate of shark fin, a plate of Eight-Treasure Duck, plus a few small side dishes.

Gao Yang was not polite at all, directly wolfing down the food.

This shark fin was too sinful!

Wu Zhao couldn't help but have black lines on her forehead.

"Lord Gao, you are really not polite in front of me."

Hearing this, Gao Yang wiped his mouth.

He revealed a smile and turned to probe Wu Zhao, "Should this subject be a bit more restrained?"

Wu Zhao picked up a piece of venison, put it in her mouth, and said calmly, "No need. I actually like Lord Gao to be more true to himself in front of me; that way I will feel more at ease."

"Then this subject will not be polite."

Wu Zhao's appetite was not large; after eating a little, she put down her chopsticks, her phoenix eyes staring straight at Gao Yang, which made Gao Yang, who was gorging himself, feel uncomfortable.

An Empress plus a Shangguan Wan'er, just staring straight at you.

Even with Gao Yang's extremely thick skin, he couldn't quite handle it.

"Your Majesty, this subject is full."

Gao Yang finally picked up a few pieces of venison, chewed them, then put down his chopsticks and said to Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao stood up and walked to the side, the palace maids hurriedly coming forward to clean up, and Gao Yang followed along quite sensibly.

He knew in his heart that Wu Zhao must have something to say to him.

"You did very well today, not only boosting the national prestige of Da Qian but also making Great Chu lose face significantly. I am very satisfied."

Wu Zhao spoke, her words full of satisfaction.

Great Chu not only invaded Da Qian, killed her people, and abducted her citizens, but also publicly caused trouble for Gao Yang, which was undoubtedly a slap in her face. Gao Yang's strong counterattack made her very satisfied.

"This is all what this subject should do."

Gao Yang bowed politely.

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes looked at Gao Yang, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat complex.

Those stunning poems were still echoing in her mind!

"So many stunning poems, two eternal absolute couplets, and accomplishments in mathematics; Gao Yang, are you really a one-in-ten-thousand genius?"

Hearing this, Gao Yang also knew that his performance today was too dazzling, which was why Wu Zhao sighed like this.

"This subject dares not take the credit; these poems, these eternal absolute couplets, were from when this subject..."

But before Gao Yang could finish his sentence, Wu Zhao's voice rang out.

"I know, it was the inheritance passed to you by that white-bearded old Daoist back then, but now the person has gone to sea and is nowhere to be found, right?" ===== CHAPTER 535 =====
