But the next moment, Lu Yanli stood up and knelt down in front of the emperor.
"Forgive me for not obeying your order. I already have someone in my heart. The princess is stunningly beautiful and in her prime. She is a very good match, but I am already old and it is definitely not a good match for me."
After hearing this, Princess Changle's face froze. He meant that she was very good, but he didn't want her?
She was born as the most noble princess and was extremely favored. Everything she asked for from her father was granted. But today, Lu Yanli actually rejected her in front of everyone.
Her face suddenly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
When the emperor saw that Changle's face turned red with anger, he also felt humiliated.
How dare he?
To do such a disobedient thing.
He had never heard that Lu Yanli had other women around him in recent years. It seemed that he had a concubine in the past two years, but in his opinion, it was just a cover-up.
He was so angry that he laughed. If he punished a great hero at today's celebration banquet, wouldn't the people of the world laugh at him for being narrow-minded?

He just won’t!
Then he generously let Lu Yanli return to his seat.

Soon, several handsome men came up. They were all fair and delicate, with regular features, but full of feminine aura.
"Since General Lu doesn't want to marry, then I will give you a few handsome men to keep you company."
It is really difficult to find such a man in the palace. Fortunately, there are many opera troupes entering the palace today. Jiang Dehai carefully selected a few good-looking ones and sent them up.
When Lu Yanli heard the emperor's reward, his face froze and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Whatever. Just don’t let him marry the princess. Humiliate him if you want.
"I obey the decree."
The emperor looked at him like that, still feeling unsatisfied, and said again:
"General Lu, you've been fighting outside for the past two years and it's been hard. Go back and spend more time with your family."
This means letting him rest more.
Lu Yanli thought it was perfect, he wanted to go to Yangzhou again.
