Eunuch Li knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.

Your Highness, it's not that I didn't want to help Prince An, but I never expected His Majesty to be so angry.

The emperor's face was gloomy, as if ice shards could fall from it, and no one dared to approach him.

"What has made His Majesty so angry?"

A clear voice rang out in the palace, and Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief; only this man could calm the emperor down.

The emperor turned around, and a handsome man dressed in a moon-white robe walked in leisurely, a smile on his beautiful face.

"Why has the Imperial Advisor come here?"

In the Kingdom of Qifeng, the Grand Preceptor and the Emperor were equals, and the Grand Preceptor did not need to perform any formalities.

After he came in, he just smiled faintly and said, "I heard that His Majesty has arranged another marriage for Prince An, so... I wanted to come and see."

The Imperial Advisor glanced at Eunuch Li kneeling on the ground, and the Emperor instantly understood his meaning, saying coldly, "Eunuch Li, you may leave."

"yes!"

When there were only two people in the hall, the emperor asked anxiously, "Imperial Preceptor, is there anything you wish to tell me today?"

"Your Majesty, Chu Qingli is not suitable for Prince An."

"Why?" the emperor asked anxiously. If Chu Qingli was not suitable, then who was?

"I originally wanted to marry Chu Qingli to Li'er, but you, Grand Preceptor, stopped me, saying that the prosperity of Qifeng Kingdom was related to Li'er's wife. And the person you found for Li'er was Chu Qingxuan, who is a man!"

The emperor became increasingly agitated as he spoke, while the imperial advisor remained calm and composed.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood me. I observed the celestial phenomena last night, and the fate of Qifeng Kingdom is indeed closely linked to Chu Qingxuan. As for the reason, I still haven't figured it out."

The Imperial Advisor suddenly looked up at the stars in the night sky and whispered, "If we are not careful, our country will be destroyed!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor waved his hand and snorted coldly, "Hmph, I don't believe your fallacies."

The Imperial Advisor chuckled, "Whether Your Majesty believes or not is entirely up to you, but... Your Majesty wouldn't joke about the ancestral land, would you?"

The palace immediately fell silent. The emperor stared at the imperial advisor in silence for a long time before finally giving in.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Now that the imperial decree has been issued and Li'er has refused the marriage, what should be done with Chu Qingli?"

The Imperial Advisor smiled mysteriously, "That's easy, just make her a princess."

"However... Prince An still needs to be punished for disobeying the imperial decree."

After the farce, everyone knew that Prince An had refused the emperor's bestowed marriage for the sake of his princess, which enraged the emperor, who then punished him by cutting off his salary.

He was demoted to a post responsible for flood control during a time of severe flooding in the south.

To compensate Chu Qingli, the emperor bestowed upon her the title of Princess Anle, allowing her to enter the palace frequently.

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingxuan felt that she understood the royal family less and less; they were such a nuisance!

Shangguan Li, on the other hand, although he was punished, didn't seem unhappy about it; however, his expression grew colder.

Chu Qingxuan walked towards Shangguan Li and reached out to touch his shoulder, but Shangguan Li dodged her without any apparent reason.

Chu Qingxuan froze; this stingy girl was still angry.

She coughed lightly, "Shangguan Li, are you still angry?"

"At worst, I'll just prevent you from marrying other women in the future."

I'm thinking about your marriage prospects, and you're still angry!

Shangguan Li glanced at Chu Qingxuan, then continued with his own business.

Chu Qingxuan pouted and muttered under her breath, "You stingy thing!"

Shangguan Li frowned slightly. "What did you just say?"
