Zhou Sheng had just been making jokes about all the stuffy, old men gathered around in the garden with Princess when he heard Cheng Ru's words.
It felt as if an arrow had been shot at him even though he had been lying down.
Oh, he knew why Cheng Ru did that.
He could practically see the hatred rising in her eyes and he wasn't oblivious to the discontent the people in the imperial court felt for him because His Majesty favoured him.
However, he hadn't paid mind to all the whispers and murmurs.
He had felt that as a person who had lived his life in the modern-day and contended with people standing at the apex of their profession - heavyweight politicians, business tycoons etc, he didn't need to pay attention to the jealous mutterings if ancient people.
He had also felt a faint inkling after talking to princess that since both of them had somehow entered other people's body in this world, maybe, this would keep happening to them.
