Acting? I'm a professional!

"Su Daji" gently stroked her cheek in front of the bronze mirror.

The person in the mirror has skin as white as snow, and eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting.

She raised her hand and slowly inserted a gold hairpin into her hair bun.

This face, this physical appearance, is indeed useful.

These past few days, she has been living in complete comfort at home.

Those servants, and that foolish older brother.

And the father, who seemed dignified but actually doted on his daughter excessively, was completely fooled by her obedient and gentle appearance.

"Miss, the Marquis has sent word that you and the Heir Apparent wish to dine in the main hall."

A maid's respectful voice came from outside the door.

"Knew."

"Su Daji" responded, then glanced at herself in the mirror one last time, a perfectly timed gentle smile appearing on her face.

Her alluring aura vanished instantly, leaving only the refined elegance of a well-bred lady.

He got up, pushed open the door, and went out.

She's a professional actress.

lobby.

Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu sat in the main seat, his face, weathered by countless battles, etched with a chilling aura.

Su Quanzhong strode into the hall, exuding the vigor of a young man.

"Father."

He clasped his hands in a salute, casually pulled out a chair, sat down, grabbed a teacup from the table, and took a large gulp.

Su Hu glared at him.

"No manners."

Su Quanzhong chuckled and put down his teacup.

"I'm so thirsty from all the training these past few days."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light footstep sounded.

"Su Daji" gracefully entered the hall.

She wore a pale yellow silk dress today, which accentuated her graceful figure and made her look charming and beautiful.

Su Daji entered the hall and bowed gracefully. Her delicate posture would make anyone who saw her feel pity.

"Father."

He then turned to Su Quanzhong and called out to him.

"Elder brother."

Her voice was soft and sweet, which made Su Quanzhong feel comfortable and relieved his fatigue.

"Daji is here, please sit down."

Su Hu's expression softened slightly, and he pointed to the spot beside him.

After Su Daji took her seat, Su Hu looked at his two children again and spoke in a deep voice.

"In a few days, it will be the day when the feudal the King."

"As your father, I must go to Chaoge to meet the Human Emperor."

"This trip will take at least a month, and at most three months."

Su Hu looked at Su Quanzhong, his tone becoming serious.

"Quanzhong, after I leave, you will temporarily be in charge of all affairs in Ji Province."

"Remember, you must diligently train your troops and pacify the people; you must not slacken your efforts in the slightest."

"If you encounter a problem you can't decide, consult your uncles and elders."

Su Quanzhong straightened his back and his expression became serious.

"Don't worry, Father!"

"Your son will certainly defend Ji Province well and will never bring shame upon you, Father!"

Su Hu nodded, then looked at "Su Daji" who was silently eating beside him.

Her tone softened somewhat.

"Daji, you must listen to your brother at home."

"If you feel bored, have your brother take you to the manor outside the city to relax."

But remember not to go too far.

However, Su Daji, who had been quietly keeping her head down, suddenly became restless.

The opportunity has arrived.

The Nuwa Imperial Edict that she should go and wreak havoc on the court and ruin the Fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty.

Although Jizhou City is nice, it's just a small pond in a remote corner. How can it compare to the vast ocean of Chaoge with its turbulent waves?

If she stayed here, would she be going to use her captivating charm on these dull-witted guards?

We must go to Chaoge.

This pilgrimage is an excellent opportunity.

As long as she can infiltrate Chaoge, with her methods, she can seize this opportunity to make an appearance in Chaoge, and perhaps even catch the eye of the Human Emperor...

Wouldn't that save us countless troubles?

In a flash, a plan came to mind.

She raised her head, and a glimmer of hope instantly filled her large, watery eyes.

"Father."

She called out softly.

Su Hu looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

Su Daji bit her lower lip, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Father, you're going to Chaoge... Could you take your daughter with you?"

Su Hu was taken aback.

Even Su Quanzhong, who was standing to the side, stopped picking up food and looked at his sister in astonishment.

"Nonsense."

Su Hu frowned and refused without even thinking.

"The journey to Chaoge is long and arduous. You are a young woman with a weak constitution; how can you endure such hardship?"

"Besides, I am going to pay homage to the Human Emperor, which is a matter of great national importance. How can you go sightseeing?"

"Just stay home and behave yourself."

Su Hu refused decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.

Su Quanzhong also offered his advice from the side.

"Yes, sister, the journey to Chaoge is a long one, involving wind and rain. Your health is weak; how can you endure such hardship?"

"Be good and wait at home. If you want anything new or interesting, your brother will have Father bring it back for you."

Su Daji cursed inwardly at these two clueless blockheads.

What should I bring?

What I want is the Human Emperor!

Not those useless things!

Now that Su Daji has spoken, how could she give up so easily?

She stood up, walked to Su Hu's side, reached out and tugged at Su Hu's sleeve, gently shaking it.

"Father~"

The call was drawn out, carrying a hint of coquettishness and grievance.

It's so good it makes your bones melt.

"My daughter is not unaware of the seriousness of the matter."

"But my daughter has never left Ji Province in all her life."

"I've heard that Chaoge is the heart of the world, a place of great prosperity and splendor. I... I've longed to visit it for a long time."

"Furthermore, I am truly worried about my father leaving without anyone to take care of him."

"A daughter only wants to serve her father and show filial piety, even if it's just serving him tea and water."

"The father should take his daughter to broaden her horizons."

She blinked, her eyelashes trembling slightly, looking utterly pitiful.

Seeing his daughter like this, Su Hu's hardened defenses began to crumble.

Although this girl is usually well-behaved, she is also quite aloof and rarely acts coquettishly or clingy like this.

Judging from his behavior today, it seems he really wants to go.

But remembering the inexplicable unease in his heart, he hardened his heart and put on a stern face.

"No."

"Chaoge is not as wonderful as you think."

"That's under the Human Emperor's feet, a place teeming with powerful and wealthy, where rules are strictly enforced."

"A slight misstep could lead to disaster."

"You're too naive to understand those complicated things; going there would only cause trouble for your father."

"With your father and brothers protecting you in Ji Province, you can be assured of a worry-free life."

"If something goes wrong after you go to Chaoge, how will your father face your deceased mother?"

"Be good and stay home."

After saying that, he adopted a stance that left no room for negotiation.

Su Daji harbored resentment in her heart.

That old man is truly impervious to both soft and hard approaches.

It seems that simply using coquetry isn't enough.

We need to find someone to help us.

Her gaze shifted and landed on Su Quanzhong was engrossed in eating.

This silly older brother is the easiest to take advantage of.

"Su Daji" released Su Hu and turned to walk to Su Quanzhong's side.

She didn't say anything, just stood there quietly, looking at him with an extremely sorrowful gaze.

It felt as if I had been abandoned by the person closest to me in the world.

Su Quanzhong had just picked up a piece of meat, and before he could even put it in his mouth, he felt a chill run down his back.

When I looked up, I was met with my sister's eyes brimming with tears.

"Well..."

Su Quanzhong's hand trembled, and the meat fell onto the table.

"Little sister, why... why are you looking at me like that?"

"Su Daji" sniffed, her voice trembling with tears.

"Elder brother."

"Do you also think I shouldn't go?"

"Do you also think I'm just a burden, only causing trouble for Father?"
