Most importantly, with Madam Shen seriously ill, Aunt Zhou will inevitably take full power in the future. With the Jun and Zhou families as her backing, marrying Jun Ximeng is clearly the wiser choice.
"Meng'er, why don't you step forward and pay your respects?"
When Aunt Zhou saw this, she quickly gave Jun Ximeng a push.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince in the past."
Upon hearing this, Jun Ximeng blushed, her heart pounding as she stepped forward to bow, her hands sweating with nervousness.
"Yes, hello, Miss."
Yu Qingchen nodded slightly in a distant manner, then lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, saying, "I appreciate the kindness of the Jun family head, but the one I am betrothed to is the legitimate daughter. We can talk about it again when Aunt Zhou truly becomes the mistress of the house."
"..."
Why don't you follow the usual procedure?
Yu Qingchen's tone seemed calm and elegant, but the content of her words made Zhou Yumei so angry that she almost vomited blood, and her body was trembling slightly.
Her aunt was her biggest sore spot in life; if the other woman had been an ordinary person, she would have torn her to pieces long ago.
But the other party was the esteemed Crown Prince, so she could only dare to be angry but not speak out, and had to endure it.
Jun Ximeng was also greatly shocked, her eyes instantly reddened, and she felt resentment towards Aunt Zhou for the first time.
If Mother were the mistress of the house, she could marry the crown prince. They are both young ladies from prominent families, so why did Mother debase herself to become a lowly concubine?
Now, this has dragged her down with it, making her a controversial illegitimate daughter.
"Hehe, since His Highness the Crown Prince has said so, then let's call off this marriage."
Jun Yunping was also embarrassed and humiliated, and he started to complain about Aunt Zhou.
He wasn't really in favor of it from the start, but he insisted on going ahead with it. Now that he's been rejected, he's really embarrassed himself!
"If there is nothing else, then I will take my leave."
Yu Qingchen maintained a gentle and humble expression, but a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
Marrying Jun Ximeng may have many advantages, but that only applies to ordinary people.
Who is Yu Qingchen? He is the most talented person in the history of Qingxuan Kingdom. Even among the royal family, no one can surpass him. Everyone in the kingdom supports him.
With no competitors in the world, there was absolutely no need for him to form cliques or cultivate power.
Therefore, having no weaknesses, his choice of the Crown Princess naturally leaned towards being based on his heart.
To be honest, none of Wang Bang's women really caught his eye.
Moreover, a genius's ambitions are different from those of ordinary people. He doesn't care much about power; his only goal is to go to the imperial court.
If it weren't for the fact that the marriage with Jun Feijue was arranged by their ancestors long ago, and that cultivators have long lifespans, he would never have thought of getting married so early.
"I will escort His Highness the Crown Prince."
Upon hearing this, Jun Yunping gave Zhou Yumei a look, signaling her to calm down, and then personally got up to see Yu Qingchen out.
"I have met Father!"
Just then, the group ran into Jun Feijue and his companions who had just returned.
"you!"
Between masters, a single thought is enough to create a connection. Upon seeing Jun Ran, Yu Qingchen was immediately stunned in shock.
"He's back, but where has he been gallivanting off to again? He's never home."
Upon seeing Jun Ran, Jun Yunping instantly vented all his pent-up anger on him, shouting, "Why aren't you coming over to greet His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Jun Ran, the second son of the Jun family, greets His Highness the Crown Prince."
Upon hearing his father's attitude, Junran simply lowered his eyes with a hint of sadness before stepping forward to respectfully bow to Yu Qingchen.
