What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

When they entered the Empress Dowager’s bedchamber, to He Yunxiao’s surprise, the Empress Dowager did not give the ladies a hard time again. but on the contrary, she entertained them with good tea and snacks.

She even said, in a tone tinged with apology, “I am a bit sleepy today, so I have kept you all waiting.”

Although the ladies’ legs were sore, their mouths did not dare to say anything.

Qin Wenmo only said, “Not long. Looking at the beautiful scenery of the palace, in the blink of an eye, we will be in front of the Empress Dowager’s eyes.”

When the Empress Dowager saw Qin Wenmo say this, a smile appeared on her face.

Then, her eyes naturally fell on He Yunxiao.

Not only was this man the only male in the room, but he was also handsome, and extraordinary, the only one she had ever seen in her life.

“This one looks somewhat familiar, he is from …… Zhang’s family, right?”

Zhang Jingxian hurriedly stood up and said, “Back to the Empress Dowager, it is none other than my husband He Yuanhao’s son, He Yunxiao.”

The Empress Dowager kept her eyes fixed on He Yunxiao and clapped her hands, “Good, good. I remember that all of Yunxiao’s family came to the birthday banquet last year, right?”

He Yunxiao looked calm even when facing the Empress Dowager, and said in a rather bland tone, “Last year, I only saw the Empress Dowager from afar when I entered the palace, so it is normal for the Empress Dowager not to have seen me. Not to mention that the Empress Dowager has a lot of business and responsibilities to attend to, for someone like me who has nothing to do, if it were not for my aunt bringing me into the palace today, I would have forgotten the Empress Dowager’s face.”

Seeing that He Yunxiao was handsome and also a good speaker, the Empress Dowager said, “Good boy, come closer and let me take a good look at you.”

He Yunxiao stepped closer.

The Empress Dowager said, “Come closer.”

He Yunxiao then came a little closer.

The Empress Dowager pretended to be angry and said, “What? Am I tiger? Are you afraid of me?”

For the first time, He Yunxiao regretted that he was too handsome and was missed everywhere. He could only step helplessly and stiffly, delivering himself into his future mother-in-law’s hands.

The Empress Dowager shook He Yunxiao’s hand and became happier and happier as she looked at him.

She took the initiative to ask, “Good boy, have you been married yet?”

Good boy!

In the original , there is no such paragraph!

In the original , the female protagonist, Meng Qingqian, had developed a little affection for the protagonist, Chu Fan, during the process of Chu Fan killing He Yunxiao and her protecting him, thus establishing her position as the female protagonist.

Now that the whole thing had gone south, He Yunxiao was no longer able to predict where the story was going through his memory of the plot.

First of all, he was not dead, and Chu Fan was not at risk of being hunted down by He Yuanhao. Then, did the mother-in-law actually have the intention to take the initiative to give her daughter away?

Who could stand up to that?

As the number one female protagonist in the early stages of the story who is a rival to Chu Xiaoxiao, Meng Qingqian’s character is incredibly strong and extremely opinionated, with great power and monstrous tactics.

She is the opposite of Chu Xiaoxiao’s image as a soft and cute girl.

However, since Chu Xiaoxiao was a “sickly girl” and Du Yinyun was a “licking dog”, what was Meng Qingqian?

He Yunxiao couldn’t understand, so he didn’t want to. The reason is that he has not even seen Meng Qingqian’s face, but when he does, he can use the system to determine her personality.

Although he had never seen Meng Qingqian, but looking at the Empress Dowager, a middle-aged woman who still had the appearance of a flower, He Yunxiao was not afraid that the heroine would be unattractive.

Therefore, when the Empress Dowager asked, “Are you married?”, He Yunxiao said frankly, “No.”

The Empress Dowager opened her mouth to say something, but then turned to He Yunxiao’s aunt and asked, “Jingxian, do you have a girl you like?”

Zhang Jingxian said, “I only wanted to find a gentle and virtuous girl, but Xiao’s son has his own plans. That day when I asked him who he wanted to marry in the future, he said that he would only marry the Eldest Princess and would not look at any other woman.”

Even though Qin Wenmo and the others had already known the news in advance, when these words appeared in the Empress Dowager’s bedchamber, the crowd subconsciously held their breath.

A decision that could shape the future of Qi would most likely happen within these few seconds.

He Yunxiao could clearly feel that the Empress Dowager’s hand, which was holding his, had froze.

And in the back hall of the Empress Dowager’s bedchamber, separated by a screen.

The always composed Meng Qingqian raised her eyes to glance at the fold. A pair of beautiful and sharp Phoenix eyes seemed to want to penetrate the barrier of wood and stone and flesh to reach the front hall and see straight through the hearts of people.

The Empress Dowager was unable to do so, “She is still young, and shouldering the government affairs of Qi, I’m afraid…”

He Yunxiao had already known that this would be the outcome.

Any fool would have known that getting Meng Qingqian was out of the question.

He hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said, “I have one heart and one mind for Her Highness, if after a few years, Her Highness retires after her success. I am willing to marry her and take her home as a priceless treasure.”

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, “You are infatuated.”

With these words, not only was He Yunxiao shocked beyond belief, but even several ladies could not look away.

He Yunxiao’s reputation in Yinjing could also be called “infatuated”?

No wonder the Empress Dowager was unable to defeat Prime Minister Han Wenxin.

The good aunt Zhang Jingxian added, “There is not just one legacy of the late emperor, the First Princess is busy with politics, but the Princess of Nanzhu is still in her chamber.”

The Empress Dowager’s eyes lit up.

Although Nanzhu was not her own child, she was still a real princess.

“Yunxiao, I’ll marry Nanzhu to you, are you willing?”

He Yunxiao’s head was full of questions. Who is this Nanzhu? It’s not written in the !

He Yunxiao was always very cautious about female characters whose looks were undetermined.

“Empress Dowager! I have never met Princess Nanzhu, and most importantly, I am truly devoted to First Princess! I will never marry another!”

The Empress Dowager lightly patted He Yunxiao’s head.

“Are you afraid that Nanzhu is not beautiful?”

He Yunxiao said with conviction, “The Empress Dowager understands. How can I be that shallow?”

The Empress Dowager laughed lightly and said, “Do you really think I have never heard of your name? I can tell you that Nanzhu’s mother was married from the Kingdom of Wei, and back then, she was known as ‘the most beautiful woman in the world’.”

The corners of He Yunxiao’s mouth twitched and he shouted that he had made a mistake.

Fortunately, he had always adhered to the three “never” principles.

Never be shameless, never be iron-headed, and never set a flags.

Immediately, he changed his tone: “Marriage is a matter of parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words. I’ll let the Empress Dowager make the arrangements.”

Hearing He Yunxiao’s promise, the Empress Dowager smiled.

However, now she was not as nice as she was just now. The Empress Dowager turned her words around, “Nanzhu’s mother has already passed away, and although I am in charge of the harem, I cannot force her to do what she wants. To marry or not to marry, she must still give her own nod.”

Just now she said she wanted to marry the most beautiful daughter in the world to me, but now she is saying that it depends on her own wishes.

He Yunxiao had been standing in front of the Empress Dowager for quite some time, and his hand had been held by the Empress Dowager and could not be withdrawn.

All this was seen by his aunt Zhang Jingxian.

Due to the Empress Dowager’s position, Zhang Jingxian was unable to remind the Empress Dowager of the implications. She could only take advantage of the fact that the Empress Dowager had almost finished arranging He Yunxiao’s marriage and reminded He Yunxiao, “Xiao’er, the Empress Dowager is planning for you, why don’t you pay your respects to the Empress Dowager?”

He Yunxiao listened to his aunt’s words and intended to turn away to pay his respects, but to his surprise, the Empress Dowager grabbed his hand and wouldn’t let go!

He Yunxiao:????

I thought that the Empress Dowager was just like the other elder sisters. She was just smitten by his handsomeness, but now He Yunxiao finally sensed that something was wrong.

Check out the Favorability System!

[Name: Li Xuanzi

Favorability Level: 95

Hint: Not the main female character, not to be raided]

95 fucking favorability level? That’s a little higher than even Sister Jiang’s or sister Du!

Not waiting for He Yunxiao to react, the Empress Dowager said, “I didn’t do anything, there’s no need to thank you. Someone, fetch the Imperial Palace’s Golden Feather Order.”

The palace maid brought the token, and the Empress Dowager took it off the plate and shoved it into He Yunxiao’s hand.

“You can freely enter and leave the palace with this decree.”

After knowing that the Empress Dowager’s favorability level was as high as 95, He Yunxiao showed a difficult expression on his face. And all the people, including the palace maid and several ladies, were shocked.

Because even if Grand Chancellor Han Wenxin wanted to enter the palace, he still had to inform the emperor to get permission, while He Yunxiao, a person with no official position at all, could come and go as he pleased?

“I am thinking of you and Nanzhu. If you visit her often, she will not be unwilling to marry you. However, no matter how the marriage goes, I am still lonely here, so you must come often to relieve my boredom as you are so lively.”

This was the first time that He Yunxiao had become positively aware of his charm.

When dealing with Du Yinyun before, the outer appearance seemed to have no effect at all.

It turned out that it wasn’t that it didn’t work, but that Du Yinyun, as the heroine, was just strong-willed. Come to think of it, no matter if it was Jiang Wuyou or Du Yinyun’s little servant girl, who didn’t blush at the sight of him?

He Yunxiao asked himself, although he was lustful, it was only “a gentleman’s lust is good”, not everyone would like it. At least the opposite party should be a young, beautiful and lovely girl, right?

He did not dare to stay with the Empress Dowager any longer.

He drew his hand to take the Golden Feather Order and thanked the Empress Dowager from a distance excusing himself.

“Empress Dowager forgive me but My father asked me to deliver tea to his friend, Doctor Wei. If I do not deliver the tea and if Doctor Wei leaves the palace and returns home, I’m afraid I will be beaten by my father if I fail to deliver the tea!”

The Empress Dowager said, “How dare he! How can a father treat his son like that?”

“Empress Dowager, Aunt, I’m leaving!”

He Yunxiao, was afraid that the Empress Dowager would make things more complicated, so he didn’t care about the etiquette. He just ran away.
