The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 1072: Chapter 408: My Husband Is the Supporting Male Lead (Part 7)_2

He Tiantian pouted, probably trying to act coy, but in Zhou Jin’s eyes, which already had a bias against her, she was nothing but a spoiled brat.

Zhou Jin’s smile held no warmth, but he still gently held He Tiantian’s hand, feigning affection as he said, ”Yes! It’s my fault!”

”However, now’s not the time to talk about this; it’s getting late. We should head to the palace!”

This was the main point!

If it weren’t for preventing ”Tiantian” from throwing a tantrum at the Imperial Palace, provoking scoldings from Father Emperor and other elders, Zhou Jin would never act humble and say a bunch of insincere things.

”Right! We have to go to the palace today!”

He Tiantian suddenly seemed to remember this, quickly lowered her head, and looked at her crumpled wedding dress she had slept in.

Then she grabbed her messy hair and shouted, ”Come here! Hurry! I need to change clothes!”

With her command, the maids outside the corridor promptly pushed the door open and came in.

After working for a full hour, He Tiantian was finally ready.

Zhou Jin was already so anxious it was unbearable, urging her several times, but seeing ”Tiantian” getting increasingly impatient, he dared not rush her too much.

This woman Tiantian was not of a kind disposition.

Zhou Jin hadn’t forgotten her blow-up last night.

She claimed to like him, but the moment things didn’t go her way, she’d turn hostile.

Hmph, she really was an arrogant and selfish woman, nowhere near Shushu’s gentle elegance.

Thinking about how He Shu was forced to go to Jingyue Temple by Tiantian, Zhou Jin felt a pang of heartache.

In the end, he would miss Shushu!

Last night he didn’t consummate the marriage with He Tiantian, yet there was drama throughout the night.

If today he also found excuses to avoid her, Tiantian would probably turn Prince Qi’s Mansion upside down!

Forcefully closing his eyes, Zhou Jin silently said sorry to He Shu.

When he opened his eyes again, his face was back to that signature gentle demeanor.

He took He Tiantian’s hand, like a loving newlywed couple, and together they rode in a carriage to the Imperial Palace.

The Emperor really had no impression of the Seventh Prince, but in light of He Jing’s status, he patiently waited for the newlywed couple to come greet him.

Seeing this pair of newcomers walking hand in hand, the Emperor couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.

”Good son, good wife! Haha, good son, good wife!”

The Emperor followed etiquette with a few praises, then with loving familiarity chatted with He Tiantian, ”Third Lady, have you got your wish now?”

Zhou Jin clenched his fists, silently standing aside with his head down.

The man on the Dragon Throne was his biological father, yet this supreme majesty was more congenial towards a minister’s daughter!

It seemed as though Tiantian was the Emperor’s beloved daughter, while Zhou Jin, a member of the Zhou Family, felt like an outsider.

”Got my wish!”

He Tiantian smiled with curved eyebrows, her arrogant nature inherited from the original character, but she wasn’t lacking in attractiveness.

People, in fact, have a penchant for appearances.

Even biological parents likely prefer pretty children who resemble themselves.

The original character was pampered by her parents, beloved by her brothers, and even the Emperor viewed her favorably.

Apart from her identity, her looks must have also played a part.

The original character wasn’t a great beauty; she had a round little face, wasn’t slender, and didn’t fit the image of a delicate beauty.

Yet, elders really liked her.

She brought fortune, was good for childbirth, lacked aggression.

Moreover, the original character wasn’t merely rash and impulsive; when it was time to be coy, she would be coy.

Men might not be charmed by this, but the older generation found it personable, lovable!

Take the Emperor, for instance; he had quite a few daughters, yet he just liked the original character.

General He was the primary reason, but the original character herself possessed a certain allure.

”Haha, got your wish, good then!” Seeing He Tiantian smiling sweetly with her round little face glowing with joy, the Emperor’s mood improved even more.

However, before the Emperor could say much more, He Tiantian suddenly furrowed her little brows.

”I’m happy, but our Prince was bullied!”

He Tiantian, like a child who finally had found a parent to complain to, puffed her little face. Even though she was tattling behind, it didn’t come off as scheming or sinister; rather, she seemed cute.

At least, in the Emperor’s view, He Jing’s daughter was truly endearing.

Zhou Jin sensed a bad premonition and disregarded maintaining respect before his father. He suddenly raised his head to look at He Tiantian.

He desperately signaled to He Tiantian, as if saying, ”Tiantian, don’t mention last night’s matter! Didn’t we agree before?”

Of course, He Tiantian saw Zhou Jin’s intense gestures akin to a chicken with its neck cut.
