Frankly speaking, this wasn't necessary during this time but whatever opportunity she got to use and shame her trash ugly illegitimate brother she was going to use it, she was acting all delicate and appeared to look worried about her brother despite what he had done to her, making some ignorant people sympathize with her.

"He is so ugly and still dares to have an ugly heart" a commoner dared to say.

"Their figures are the same but that beast just can't be compared to the present angel looking empress elect, I mean look at those hideous eyes, wait, are there even any eyes there" another guest mockingly stated.

"Such an evil sprout"

"If the empress elect is really fake and is that ugly thing on that projection then what kind of evil technique do you think he must have used to disguise his extreme ugliness, this is unacceptable, we must save our majesty from such a terrible monster"

"He is a fake and must be disqualified, the empress elect title must be taken away from him this instant" a minister uttered.

"We want out rightful empress elect, goddess Lei Yue" a commoner said, they had only heard a bit of her story and seen her gorgeous face and were already supporting her this much, she wondered how crazy they will get when she continues the cock and bull story and even show them the figure underneath the black cloak, perhaps they will begin to worship the very ground she walked on, this was more than she could hope for, Lei Yue thought, however, what she failed to realize was that it was mostly the commoners that said such comments of praise to her and as for some of the nobles and royals they just hated the fact that their noble or royal emperor was maybe been deceived once more, moreover these royals that reacted this badly were just the ones that were naturally hotblooded in nature and still very young, all the matured ones barely believed her story and unknown to her it was like the more she spoke the less they believed.

"Despicable" comments like this kept going around.

Young mistress Lei Yue had begun to cry crocodile tears so most of the guests except for the emperor and majority of the matured royals could see through her true actions and how she was stylishly laughing in delight. They wondered if she thought everyone was so gullible, as royals even if they weren't residing at the imperial palace they met a lot of people who wanted to scheme against them on a daily basis and take advantage of them so it was naturally in their nature to be cautious and distrustful to people, to them her acting was barely passible.

Nevertheless the hurtful words said by certain guests and their disgusted and pissed reactions to his former self had woken up certain negative feelings in Jiang that he had believed where gone for good and so when Jiang saw that projection of his once ugly face he couldn't help but cringe, some guests were covering their eyes while some were muttering abusive words, people were always visuals animals, especially those who were good looking, moreover, in Tang Qin Shang a person with a little as a scar on their body or face that they couldn't use certain cultivation spells and techniques to heal were regarded as ugly much less his previous self.
