Li Wen still showed no sign of getting up. Seeing this, Chu Qingxuan asked in confusion, "What? Does Lord Li not wish to get up?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Chu Qingxuan smiled and continued, "If you have any questions, you can ask the Grand Preceptor."
Chu Qingxuan looked at Ruan Qingchen, whose expression was cold. When he met Chu Qingxuan's seemingly smiling eyes, his brows furrowed slightly.
What trick is this empress up to now?
The two looked at each other, and the moment their eyes met, Chu Qingxuan raised an eyebrow at Ruan Qingchen. Ruan Qingchen immediately bowed and said, "Yes!"
A cool, magnetic voice rang out in the court, and Chu Qingxuan's smile deepened.
Her voice is quite pleasant too.
Ruan Qingchen got shy after just one glance?
The system sighed, then poured cold water on Chu Qingxuan's enthusiasm: [Host, are you sure they're not avoiding you?]
Chu Qingxuan said, "[I am so kind and approachable, why would Ruan Qingchen avoid me?]"
system:"……"
Your gaze was like you wanted to devour someone; it would be strange if Ruan Qingchen didn't avoid you!
After the court session, Chu Qingxuan slowly stood up and called out to Ruan Qingchen, "Today I have something I wish to discuss with the Imperial Advisor. I wonder if the Imperial Advisor is available?"
Just as Ruan Qingchen was about to leave, she raised her eyes, her cold gaze fixed on Chu Qingxuan, and said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, there are matters in the manor today."
Chu Qingxuan feigned regret and did not pester Ruan Qingchen.
"What a pity. We'll discuss it again once the Grand Preceptor is free of trouble."
Chu Qingxuan squinted her eyes. Sooner or later, you will come looking for me.
Ruan Qingchen caught the fleeting glint of cunning in Chu Qingxuan's eyes, but Chu Qingxuan acted as if nothing had happened and smiled gently at Ruan Qingchen.
"Your humble servant takes his leave."
Staring at Ruan Qingchen's retreating figure, Chu Qingxuan sighed.
Ruan Qingchen is actually engaged to Chu Qingwan. How can this engagement be canceled?
That's still a problem.
Chu Qingwan is Chu Qingxuan's younger sister, and is the female lead of this world. Her destined lover is the male lead, Jun Zilin.
Jun Zilin is the Prime Minister of the Tianqi Dynasty and a close friend of Ruan Qingchen.
At a banquet, Chu Qingwan took a liking to Jun Zilin and insisted on breaking off her engagement with Ruan Qingchen. The original owner of this body was naturally happy to do so because she had her eye on Ruan Qingchen.
She issued an edict announcing the annulment of Ruan Qingchen's engagement and prepared to make Ruan Qingchen her imperial consort.
When Ruan Qingchen found out about this, he, who disliked the original owner of the body, declared in front of all the court officials that his favorite person was Chu Qingwan.
At this time, Jun Zilin and Chu Qingwan had already established a relationship, which Ruan Qingchen also knew, and in the end, the two became enemies.
Because of their differing political views, the two engaged in open and covert struggles.
At first, the original owner could protect Ruan Qingchen, but later the original owner was dethroned, and no one could protect Ruan Qingchen anymore.
Ruan Qingchen eventually fell into prison and died a tragic death.
This was shortly after Chu Qingwan took a liking to Jun Zilin.
After returning to his bedchamber from court, Chu Qingxuan's lady-in-waiting, Le Wuyou, entered and reported, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess requests an audience."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingxuan said, "Let her in."
"yes."
A moment later, a woman dressed in a gorgeous red dress ran in; this was Chu Qingwan.
Chu Qingxuan did not bow upon entering, and immediately began to cry and complain upon seeing Chu Qingxuan.
"Royal sister, I don't want to marry Ruan Qingchen. He's such an iceberg. I'd suffocate if I married him!"
"And you promised me you'd call off the engagement!"
