Ruan Qingchen looked at Chu Qingxuan with a quiet gaze and said, "There's no need. If it really is an assassin, you climbing in would just be suicide."

Chu Qingxuan: "..."

That really hurts. I feel like I need to become a martial arts master.

Ruan Qingchen stared at Chu Qingxuan with his phoenix eyes. His pupils were like deep pools, unfathomable, and Chu Qingxuan couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Ruan Qingchen is truly a man of few words.

"The Imperial Advisor doesn't even ask who I am? What brings me here today?"

"Since Your Majesty has come, there must be something you need."

One doesn't visit the temple without a reason.

Chu Qingxuan, who thought she had kept it from Ruan Qingchen, shrugged helplessly, "It seems the Imperial Advisor already knew it was me."

“Yes, it’s obvious.” Ruan Qingchen stabbed Chu Qingxuan.

Chu Qingxuan gave up on treatment. She blinked and said, "Hmm, then next time I come in, can you give me a back door?"

Ruan Qingchen asked in confusion, "Your Majesty can simply enter through the front door. Why do you want to enter through the back door?"

Chu Qingxuan straightened up, sat upright, and said righteously, "Does coming in through the front door still count as a secret rendezvous?"

Ruan Qingchen: "..."

He looked at Chu Qingxuan's face in surprise, but he didn't see any hint of joking on her face.

"Your Majesty is of noble birth; to say such things would be an insult to your reputation."

Chu Qingxuan asked, "What is 'Qingyu'? Can you eat it?"

When Ruan Qingchen met Chu Qingxuan's smiling eyes, she didn't know how to answer Chu Qingxuan's question for a moment, so she had to change the subject.

"Your Majesty, please tell me what brings you to see me today?"

Chu Qingxuan greeted her with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that I need a royal consort. I wonder if the Grand Preceptor would be interested?"

Ruan Qingchen: "..."

This was the third time today that Ruan Qingchen had been speechless by Chu Qingxuan. He pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty is joking. There are many people in the Tianqi Dynasty who can become the Imperial Consort. Why does Your Majesty have to choose me?"

After Ruan Qingchen finished speaking, Chu Qingxuan frowned slightly, made a troubled look, and whispered, "That's terrible, I only have eyes for the Grand Preceptor."

Ruan Qingchen's fingertips trembled slightly. Although the previous empress had said similar things, he had only wanted to refuse back then.

They couldn't avoid it.

But today, I hesitated.

"Your Majesty is the ruler of a nation, and I am unworthy of such a position." Ruan Qingchen lowered his head, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

Chu Qingxuan reached out and poked Ruan Qingchen's hand with her finger, attracting Ruan Qingchen's attention.

Ruan Qingchen looked up and met Chu Qingxuan's gentle, smiling eyes. A ripple stirred in her heart, but she quickly calmed down.

"Good girl," Chu Qingxuan said to Ruan Qingchen.

Ruan Qingchen was speechless. The next second, Chu Qingxuan said, "I won't dislike you."

Ruan Qingchen's breathing changed.

"Actually, I'd rather touch your head."

"Because this way you can feel how much I dote on you."

Ruan Qingchen's lips twitched. This emperor in front of her must be a fake!

Otherwise, how could someone say such shameful things!

The system was also taken aback by Chu Qingxuan's actions. It originally thought that the host was a novice, but it turned out that she was a master at flirting with young men!

He's blind, I'm sorry.

Upon hearing Chu Qingxuan's words, Ruan Qingchen suddenly stood up, turned her back to Chu Qingxuan, and said sternly, "Your Majesty, please have some self-respect!"

Chu Qingxuan rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at Ruan Qingchen's slightly red ear tips. "But Grand Preceptor, what I said is the truth."

Chu Qingxuan was practically bursting with laughter inside. This shy Ruan Qingchen was just too funny!

Suppressing a laugh, she asked in a low voice, "Does the Imperial Advisor already have someone he loves?"
