Chapter 292 – Party Medication, Rockery PY Transaction (2)
It turns out, Jiang Pengji’s words are really not to be believed, punctuation included.
Although she never attended a large party in ancient times, she has been to plenty back in her era.
As the most powerful military big shot in the Federation, who didn’t carry her around when she walked into a room?
At major important banquets in the Federation, the hosts would habitually send her an invitation; whether she showed up or not was entirely up to her mood.
After comparing the parties from both eras, she found that whether in ancient times or her own, it was just the same old routines. However, as a legion commander, she used to be a big shot everyone had to cater to, and now she’s just a small fry.
Listening to the melodious music and watching the graceful dances, Jiang Pengji chuckled softly.
Being a transparent figure has its perks; at least she didn’t have to keep track of who was who, consider their family status, or think about how to converse with others. Speaking was so exhausting—it made her feel utterly bored.
“You seem so engrossed—are their dances really that beautiful?”
Jiang Pengji glanced at the live chat. The audience was focused on commenting about the dancers’ figures, faces, and skin, while the dance moves… they felt were too slow, like elderly folks doing Tai Chi in the park—less impressive than a square dance.
Though she didn’t understand what Tai Chi or square dance was, the comments clearly suggested it wasn’t a good description.
“With graceful turns and flowing sleeves, brows knitting in beauty,” the young Feng Jin gazed at the enchanting dancers, clapping and smiling without looking back. “Waist like willow, voice like oriole… Ah—this taste, one must savor it properly. Lan Ting, with your impatient nature, you need to learn to calm down.”
Jiang Pengji was baffled; looking at the absorbed Feng Jin, then at the dancers, then back at the live chat audience—she suddenly realized that while the audience shared her aesthetic criteria, Feng Jin had already transcended to another level.
“The dance moves are nice, but I prefer the sultry ones, pale skin, pretty face, long legs, ample bosom and a perky rear…”
This comment garnered unanimous support from the live audience.
【Orange-flavored Drumstick】：I just love this straightforward and sincere streamer.
【Pipi Shrimp Let’s Go】：Actually, I also like women with hot bodies; I only watch streamers with great figures. The streamer is the only one who attracts me with her depth, you’re something special.
【Uncle Takes You to See Goldfish】：Good luck up there, #lightthecandles.
The little angels in the live chat agreed with Jiang Pengji’s perspective, but Feng Jin, the traditional male from ancient times, was less open-minded.
His snow-white face flushed, clearly embarrassed.
“Vulgar!”
Ah, shy now, are we?
Jiang Pengji understood that at Feng Jin’s age, despite liking women with curves, he would keep it discreet.
With a cold snicker, she said, “Hua Yu, that’s quite hypocritical; how am I vulgar? Don’t you prefer the soft and gentle? Should you genuinely want someone your size to hug in the future? Weren’t you just telling me how you’re not interested in, you know, involved with boys?”
Feng Jin was usually quite articulate, but he couldn’t respond clearly against her logic.
Jiang Pengji blatantly twisted his words; Feng Jin was no match for her!
Fire ignited in his heart as he gritted his teeth. “Does Lan Ting dare let Liu Governor hear you say these things?”
Jiang Pengji shot back unbothered, “Hua Yu, have you forgotten who I went to the brothel with before?”
Feng Jin: “…”
Who else could it be but Liu Zhi… Uh, okay, he lost that round…
Wait!
Feng Jin suddenly realized that this little buddy beside him was a girl, not a boy!
Thinking of this, his expression turned intriguing, basically looking like someone suffering from constipation.
Liu Governor, how can you let your daughter run around like this? Shouldn’t you be managing her better?
Liu Zhi could only express—what can I do, I’m just as desperate. Don’t say she’s visiting a brothel; even a casual visit to the south courtyard would require my company.
Jiang Pengji, seeing Feng Jin’s despondent face, smiled and squinted her eyes.
Though ancient times had their downsides, one thing’s for sure: the general populace’s character was more conservative.
Just like the young Feng Jin before her, no matter how serious he acted, at his core he was still just a half-grown boy; as long as Jiang Pengji dropped her facade and adopted a “whatever” attitude, he truly had no way to deal with her.
Nature calls, and the young Feng Jin, having drunk quite a bit, appeared somewhat awkward as a palace maid guided him to the restroom. After he left, Jiang Pengji noticed the empty spot beside her, raised an eyebrow playfully, and got up.
She was somewhat curious about the royal estate of ancient times.
As a competent streamer, she ought to fulfill the demands of the little angels in her live chat, right?
Learning from Feng Jin’s elegant rhetoric, Jiang Pengji successfully charmed a palace maid to lead her away from the table.
【Orange-flavored Drumstick】：Hey League, I just wanted to take a look at the ancient royal estate, not a bathroom tour… If you happen to stream while in the restroom, I won’t mind…
Upon seeing this comment, Jiang Pengji’s corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
She never expected that ancient live stream audiences could be such tasteless!
“…Excuse me, do you know where those skill-testing young masters are? I have a few friends who are in this round, and considering the timing, the evaluations should have already begun. I just feel a bit anxious, and wondered if you could guide me?”
The palace maid smiled, lips pressed lightly together.
“Young Master, don’t flatter me so. The rules in the estate are strict, and everyone has their own path to walk. A lowly servant like me doesn’t even qualify to approach that place. If you wish to go, I can point you the way; through the garden, and you’ll find it.”
“Then I trouble you, my lady.”
The royal estate’s garden was certainly not comparable to Liu Residence’s little garden. It was filled with exotic flowers and plants; even in the desolate autumn, vibrant blossoms still bloomed, the bright colors dispelling any dullness and adding a livelier mood.
It’s said that the Imperial Garden in Shangyang Palace is more than ten times larger than this one.
Usually, only the Emperor, concubines, and royal children could enjoy it; no one else could even get close.
Even in the royal estate’s garden before them, had it not been a special occasion, it would be a privilege for someone like Jiang Pengji, without any title, to step in. Let alone stroll freely and enjoy the radiant beauty surrounding her.
“Um—Your Highness—be gentle—ah—”
Jiang Pengji found a relatively secluded spot and planned to rest on a rockery for a while.
A biology student in the live chat expressed curiosity about the unfamiliar plants in the garden and wanted to observe up close, asking Jiang Pengji if they could linger for a while, and it would be even better if she could zoom in for a closer view.
Thinking she had nothing better to do, she decided to oblige.
However, just as she settled down for a brief rest by the rockery, moans and gasps suddenly echoed from below, a mixture of male and female sounds, rising in urgency and filled with suggestive undertones.
“Ah—ah, mmm—”
Jiang Pengji, sitting right above, was like: “…”
The audience in the live chat exploded.
Holy moly, after half a year of following the stream, it’s finally about to go down!
