Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 4: When there's trouble, the prince consort is there; when there's no trouble, the

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueli and the Third Prince were immediately petrified.

Hu Youniang, kneeling on the ground, looked at Chu Tianze with disbelief.

Only Zhou Wei smiled faintly, as if everything was within her expectations.

"The third-ranked scholar is really interesting; when there's trouble, he's the prince consort; when there's no trouble, he's his darling wife."

"If you ask me, the most pragmatic person in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is none other than you, Chu Tiance!"

Zhou Wei's sarcastic words made Chu Tianze's face turn pale and then red, but he forced himself not to lose heart.

“Aunt Zhou, I am the third-ranked scholar personally selected by the Emperor, and my marriage to the princess was also bestowed by His Majesty. Is there a problem with me saying that I am the princess’s husband?”

Zhou Wei smiled and said, "Of course, no problem! But has the third-ranked scholar thought it through..."

As Zhou Wei spoke, she glanced at Hu Youniang, who was kneeling on the ground, looking utterly dejected.

"If this marriage is agreed upon, then Miss Hu will never be able to enter the house again."

"After all, as a prince consort, one is not entitled to take concubines."

Hu Youniang looked up at Chu Tianze, her eyes filled with pleading and pain.

"Chu Lang, if you change your mind, I will fight to the death to prevent anything from happening to you today."

Zhou Wei believed what Hu Youniang said; this woman certainly had some tricks up her sleeve.

But Chu Tianze didn't know that!

He felt ashamed and dared not look Hu Youniang in the eye.

“Youniang…you shouldn’t have brought a dagger with you…”

Hu Youniang trembled. Was her lover blaming her?

This dagger of hers is no ordinary object; she must carry it with her at all times, or she will be in trouble.

But Chu Tianze only thought about himself!

Did she really make the wrong choice, selecting the most irresponsible and heartless man in the world after all her careful consideration?

Princess Jiang Yueli observed their conversation.

When you see Hu Youniang's eyes change from pleading and longing to hatred and disappointment.

Jiang Yueli's heart skipped a beat!

It turns out that Hu Youniang, who caused her so much suffering in her previous life, was not without her weaknesses.

Chu Tianze is her Achilles' heel!

She was clearly a remarkable woman with exceptional abilities, yet she fell for a shameless scoundrel like Chu Tianze.

If that's the case, then I know how to deal with it.

Jiang Yueli couldn't help but look at Zhou Wei. Where did this palace maid come from?

He is truly exceptionally intelligent!

Not only are they equally adept at verbal sparring, but their actions are also incredibly swift and decisive.

A series of actions instantly reversed the situation, even turning the once-happy Chu Tianze and Hu Youniang against each other.

That's an amazing move!

Could it be that Heaven took pity on me and sent me such a lucky star after my rebirth?

Princess Jiang Yueli's heart pounded, and the more she looked at Zhou Wei, the happier she felt!

Zhou Wei was unaware of Jiang Yueli's thoughts; she was communicating with the system in her mind.

"You know what, the initial skill you gave me, Golden Right Kick, is really useful."

[That's natural; your right leg has always been a strong point, this system has simply enhanced it.]

"However, the initial skills are just a trial version. When will we get the official ones?"

[It will be ready soon. Has the host selected the boss to bind to the promotion device?]

This time, Zhou Wei didn't hesitate and chose Jiang Yueli directly.

The princess's performance just now was that of a very competent villain!

Decisive and ruthless, clear-headed, arrogant and domineering.

Judging from her personality, she will definitely provoke and offend the female lead, just like in the original story.

With the Eldest Princess as your heroine hunter, you'll never lack opportunities to fight against heaven and earth!

But I'm sorry, Princess, with me, Zhou Wei, here, you can leave all the provocations against the female lead to me!

Without you even having to give the order, I'll have offended the female leads to their core, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied!

[Congratulations, host, on completing your first promotion mission: thwarting the conspiracy of the destined heroine, Hu Youniang.]

[Congratulations, host, on binding yourself to your boss, Jiang Yueli.]

[Bonus Skill - Golden Right Kick (Advanced Version)]

[Golden Right Kick (Advanced Version): Your right kick is like a heavy cannon, ignoring all evasion!]

[Congratulations, host, you have gained the favor of Princess Jiang Yueli. Reward: Pain Shielding.]

Wow! That skill is amazing!

Doesn't this mean that active skills also come with passive effects?

Ignoring all evasion, in other words, even the peerless masters in the original book who were far superior to ordinary people could not escape his golden right foot!

If she wanted to, she could kick those big shots to the heavens.

Moreover, this skill has a prefix, making it comparable to a heavy artillery.

That is, it is highly harmful and extremely insulting!

Which big shot could tolerate being kicked away by a mere palace maid?

Just thinking about it makes me happy!

She desperately wanted a famous cannon fodder male protagonist or supporting male character from the book to appear so she could test his mettle!

Sigh, it's a pity I time-traveled.

Otherwise, the rabbit's soccer skills might be saved!

Pain shielding is even more practical.

This is ancient times, and Zhou Wei's identity is that of a palace maid. If she does something wrong, she might be punished.

Pain shielding means at least you won't suffer!

This skill is so thoughtful and practical.

If the eldest princess is in danger and needs her to shield her from harm, with this pain-blocking ability, she can run to deliver the knife without any burden!

While Zhou Wei was still in a daze communicating with the system, Chu Tianze had already helped Hu Youniang up and was discussing terms with Jiang Yueli.

“Your Highness, You Niang has been kind to me. This time, carrying a weapon was an unintentional mistake. I hope that Your Highness will forgive You Niang this time for my sake.”

Jiang Yueli smiled faintly: "Since the Prince Consort has said so, there is no reason for me to hold a grudge."

"However, I must remind you, my husband, that our marriage is a decree from the Emperor, and the wedding date is next year."

"I hope that the Prince Consort will handle his affairs well and not disgrace the royal family of our Great Zhou."

"Furthermore, the consort has acknowledged the marriage agreement today, as witnessed by everyone present, including my own younger brother, the Third Prince."

"Could the prince consort change his mind again in a few months and come to annul the engagement once more?"

Faced with Jiang Yueli's teasing, Chu Tianze felt resentment in his heart, but dared not go too far on the surface.

He originally came to annul the engagement, but was forced by a lowly maid to accept it.

However, these are all temporary measures; let's stabilize Jiang Yueli first.

He will definitely avenge this, otherwise he would be unworthy of being a human being!

"Your Highness is too kind. I have already made a promise and will never change it."

Jiang Yueli nodded: "That's good. I will wait here in the princess's residence for the day I marry my husband."

Hearing this, Hu Youniang felt a pang of pain in her heart.

The look in their eyes as they looked at Jiang Yueli and Zhou Wei was filled with resentment and venom!

If it weren't for this wretched maid, how could her beloved Chu Lang have compromised?

And then there's Princess Jiang Yue Li, you lowly woman, are there no other men in the world?

Why must you compete with her for Chu Lang?

She would never let Jiang Yueli succeed!

Everyone present had their own thoughts, but Zhou Wei was completely relaxed, secretly thinking it was a pity.

"Chu Tianze chickened out too quickly, and Hu Youniang also hesitated to make a move due to too many concerns."

"Otherwise, I could fight longer and maybe get a bigger reward!"

After Chu Tianze helped Hu Youniang leave, Jiang Yueli's tense nerves finally relaxed.

This time, she broke out of the predicament.

She will never again become the jealous and scheming princess that the people talk about!
