"You are being silly again. Tell me quickly, why are you late?" Ye Lan Yu lightly tapped Ye Lang's forehead with her finger.
"It's all because of this fatty, dragging her feet. Women, they are always like this, so slow and indecisive." Ye Lang waved his hand, looking at the girl next to him.
"Fatty?"
Following Ye Lang's glance, Ye Lan Yu carefully observed the girl. Only now did she have the time to notice, and upon a closer look, she just couldn't understand the meaning of the word "fatty".
The girl before them, in a black tight-fitting top and a black skirt, perfectly showcased her figure, an absolute contrast to anything "fatty." If there was any plumpness, it was in her chest and hips, but those were the envy of women and the obsession of men.
Combined with her slim waist and long, beautiful legs, she was the epitome of a devilish figure!
In addition to the girl's fair and delicate skin, as well as her exquisite small face with lustrous, black, beautiful, long hair, her charm could captivate anyone’s attention!
Moreover, the girl's hairstyle was also unique, something Ye Lan Yu had never seen before, but something she wanted now. The girl had her hair in a bun with white feathers inserted on top, with straight hair cascading down, naturally curling at the ends.
All of this made her appear to be a princess with a little bit of cuteness and a little bit of coquettishness within her nobility.
"Hey, don't argue anymore! Little brother, where did you find this lovely little princess? Very nice, she is just a tiny bit inferior to your sister, not much different from this Seventh Princess!" While stopping the argument between the two, Ye Lan Yu also gave a very high evaluation of the girl.
"Hey, it's just a little bit less than me, you are no match for me!" The Seventh Princess corrected her.
"She, a little princess?! Your eyes must be having problems, where does she look like a little princess, and what's lovely about her." Ye Lang thought the girl's appearance was more towards the hot and sexy side, not cute. This was his design, to captivate all men!
But he wasn't very professional in this aspect, and it was different from what he had imagined. Fortunately, this effect was still good this time!
"Alright, let's stop chatting. We are going to start the competition, fatty, it's up to you next." After saying this, Ye Lang began to focus on the theme of the day.
"Competition? If Zhen Xiaoyan isn’t here, what are you competing in?" Ye Lan Yu asked strangely.
"Who said she's not here? Isn't she right next to me?" Ye Lang pointed to the girl next to him, and the girl smiled slightly, as if she was affirming his words.
However, not a single person believed this statement, not even Lui Fei Yan, who had seen Zhen Xiaoyan three days ago, was now doubtful.
“You little rascal, dare to lie to your elder sister!” Ye Lan Yu said unhappily, tapping Ye Lang's head hard.
"Ye Lang, you are going too far. Just because you are the thirteenth young master of the Ye family, doesn’t mean you can do as you please, finding someone to substitute for Zhen Xiaoyan in the competition!!"
"Emperor, you said you want to maintain the fairness of this competition. Can he behave like this?"
For a moment, the atmosphere became turbulent, and everyone believed that Ye Lang had found someone to replace Zhen Xiaoyan in the competition. They absolutely didn't believe that the girl who looked like a beautiful princess was the same unattractive Zhen Xiaoyan!
No, this was absolutely impossible!
Therefore, they strongly opposed Ye Lang's use of such unfair means to win, although deep down, they also really wanted to see this girl's performance.
"Ye Lang, even though I support you liking Zhen Xiaoyan, you can't use such means. This will cause public outrage." The emperor chuckled, then spoke.
"Little Lang, if you want to win, you must win fairly!" Ye Chengtian also chimed in, and the meaning behind his words was clear. He also didn’t believe that the girl next to Ye Lang was Zhen Xiaoyan.
"I won it fair and square! She doesn't need to resort to tricks to win now!" Ye Lang seemed oblivious to the issue, which made Ye Lanyu and the others on the side shake their heads, silently cursing him as a fool and an idiot.
One of the judges began to angrily protest, "If she were Zhen Xiaoyan, of course she wouldn't need any tricks, but the problem is that she isn't. She's someone you brought in to help. By doing this, you are disrespecting everyone present and even the Emperor's presence!"
"If you're going to do this, we are going to withdraw from the competition!"
"Emperor, you cannot indulge him like this!"
Suddenly, there was an uproar. The group of judges, who were also the family of talented women, began shouting slogans and even tried to drag the Emperor into the fray.
"Ye Lang..."
"Stop saying all this nonsense. She may have changed a bit, but she's still a fat woman... Zhen Xiaoyan! Fat woman, go and greet everyone, pay attention to your demeanor!" Ye Lang seemed to have just realized that he had forgotten to let Zhen Xiaoyan introduce herself, and he also felt that this oversight would raise suspicion.
Zhen Xiaoyan lightly bowed and then spoke in a soft and beautiful voice, "Oh, hello, everyone, I am Zhen Xiaoyan!"
The elegant and noble temperament made everyone feel a gentle suffocation, plunging the entire venue into momentary silence, a quiet and stillness!
After a brief silence, another outburst followed!
"Damn, I absolutely don't believe that she is Zhen Xiaoyan. Even if I'm killed, I won't believe it!!"
"If you want to find a replacement, please find someone more reliable. This difference is just too big. Do you think we are fools?"
"..."
"Ye Lang, you are shameless! But, I support you..."
"I support you too!"
"??"
Amidst the cursing, someone shouted a slogan, adding a "disharmonious" support to the previously all-critical voices, and this support seemed to be growing.
This made the scene somewhat eerie...
