What do you mean by "admiring her second brother"? They've never even met him! What kind of ridiculous arranged marriage is this?
I thought that was the end of it, but to my surprise, the eunuch delivering the decree pulled out another scroll of imperial edict and continued—
“The An family has a daughter, Anjing, who is gentle, kind and virtuous. She is very much to my liking, and I have long admired her…” Upon hearing Anjing, Anle’s face contorted.
That emperor is ruthless!
He's ruthless to outsiders, and even to himself. He's so heartless that he'd do something so depraved just to win her over, even risking his own future by planning to marry her older sister as a concubine.
Screw being a concubine!
Especially since he married her, and she's a concubine no less.
Her older sister is a perfectly good girl, and she wants to ruin her older sister's happiness for the rest of her life.
Anle immediately bristled—
Before the eunuch delivering the imperial decree could even finish reading it, Anle snatched it away and tossed it aside.
“Go back and tell your emperor that’s enough already. Stop catching one person and ruining them. How come everyone who falls into his hands gets ruined? I advise him to be a decent human being.”
Anle gave a cold, chilling laugh, issuing a warning.
"If you piss me off, Anle is capable of anything, even destroying Apocalypse is no big deal for her." She wasn't exaggerating when she said that.
That Islail, now at her feet, is both obedient and timid.
You could say they were the loyal henchmen she trained.
If he really angers her, she could ruin his empire.
They've even set their sights on her whole family! Are they planning to leave no one behind? Can't they just stop for once?
When the eunuch delivering the decree saw that Princess Anle was furious on the spot, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. A chill ran down his spine and his hair stood on end. "Oh, Princess Yangle, don't be impatient. This old servant will go back and report to the Emperor. I will definitely... I will definitely deliver the message."
After saying this, the eunuch who made the paper left tremblingly, afraid that Anle might get so angry that he would be struck by lightning.
He's in the prime of his life, full of youthful vigor, but he hasn't lived enough yet.
But is their emperor really tired of living? Why does he have to go against the grain like this?
**
After hearing the eunuch Xuanzhi finish recounting Anle's reaction, Chongzheng touched his nose and smiled. His performance was merely a deliberate test.
Of course, if after some probing, Anle is neither annoyed nor angry and accepts it, he will naturally go with the flow and actually do it.
Even though they've fallen out now, it's alright. It's made him realize that this little girl probably has many abilities he didn't know about.
After all, even the Celestial Master's Mansion was wary of this little girl.
This gives us a glimpse into the situation.
He really wanted to win over this little girl. If he could use her, stabilizing the country wouldn't be a problem, and controlling the thirteen famous sects would naturally be a piece of cake.
Perhaps it still has the potential to compete with other powerful nations and rank among the top countries?
After all, this little girl has a different stance from the Celestial Master's Mansion. The Celestial Master's Mansion does not participate in national affairs or struggles between countries; it only cares about matters of natural law and ethics.
So, he was indeed a little tempted and wanted to set his sights on this little girl, but he had witnessed her attitude firsthand. She had quite a temper, so it would probably be difficult to get her to help him.
Well, since she's been given the title of princess, the little girl has accepted it.
He's gotten a good deal, in a way, by linking her to the royal family. Since she's now associated with the royal family, it wouldn't be right for her not to step forward if the royal family faces trouble in the future.
After the emperor's probing attempt, he completely backed down. He knew to act within his means and dared not recklessly provoke Anle.
However, the Feng and Su families on the other side were not like that. Relying on the existence of their son-in-law An Mangu, they acted as if they could do whatever they wanted, directly sending people into the Yu family mansion, intending to go to Hongcheng with Anle.
Anle really couldn't directly turn against the Feng and Su families because there was an uncle in between.
This is different from the emperor's side. Although the emperor and her uncle seem to have a good relationship, and it is indeed somewhat like brotherhood, the emperor has always been using his uncle. In the end, they are not relatives, but just superiors and subordinates.
However, the two women in her uncle's household were indeed her elder and younger aunts in name and in fact.
Having no way to refuse, he had no choice but to leave with the others.
Anle left with these two people, and it was indeed extremely unwilling of him to do so.
Not to mention Anle was unhappy, Anmangu was also a little embarrassed. He never expected that his two fathers-in-law would cause such a mess for him.
They've set their sights on his other nephews and nieces. What will Mancang think of that?
If he were to get involved with his nephew and niece because he couldn't refuse, then it would be his fault, even though the little niece had assured him that she would not force his older siblings if they were unhappy.
Accompanying her were the eldest daughter of the Su family and the eldest son of the Feng family; one intended to marry her third brother, and the other intended to marry her eldest sister.
Because among her eldest and fourth sisters, only her eldest sister could be considered suitable for the age.
Along the way, Anle also observed the interaction between the eldest daughter of the Su family and her third brother. Ever since her third brother entered the Su family, he has been able to stay obediently, seemingly because he hangs out with the eldest daughter of the Su family. To put it nicely, hanging out is to put it bluntly; her third brother is shameless and follows the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Tian'er, like a little shadow.
I don't know if she's really interested in him or if she's just pretending.
Anyway, her third brother was a womanizer and didn't just have feelings for Su Tian'er, the eldest daughter of the Su family. In her opinion, her third brother was a scoundrel, promiscuous, and nice to all pretty girls.
If this girl really ends up with her third brother, it's her own bad luck.
As for this eldest son of the Feng family, he seems to have a very good demeanor. She doesn't know if he's genuinely serious or just pretending, but from what she sees now, his demeanor is quite good, and he appears refined and polite.
Of course, this could very well be a deliberate performance, staged right under her nose. To determine the true nature of this person, we need to examine him closely.
In short, a fox will always show its tail eventually, and she needs to take a good look at what kind of person this Feng family boy is.
If he's a good person, and if her older sister likes him too, then they can get along, and she won't stop them.
Anyway, it doesn't matter who you marry. Marrying someone with high standards, high status, wealth, and good looks is better than marrying someone ugly, short, and poor.
