Chu Qingxuan's tone was aggrieved. Ruan Qingchen had his back to Chu Qingxuan, his eyes changed slightly, and his brows furrowed tightly.
Finally, she coldly replied, "No."
Chu Qingxuan's earlier unhappiness vanished, and she said happily to Ruan Qingchen's retreating figure, "That's good."
Chu Qingxuan knew when to stop; saying any more would anger Ruan Qingchen.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. It seems it's about time. I should return to the palace. As long as the Imperial Advisor agrees to become the Emperor's consort, you can let me know at any time," Chu Qingxuan said.
Ruan Qingchen remained with her back to Chu Qingxuan, and Chu Qingxuan did not leave either.
After waiting for a while, Ruan Qingchen suddenly felt someone touch him from behind.
Then I heard Chu Qingxuan's voice.
"Your Excellency, could you please open a back door for me?"
Ruan Qingchen rubbed her temples, turned to look at Chu Qingxuan, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Before Chu Qingxuan could react, Ruan Qingchen grabbed her waist and used his lightness skill to carry her over the lotus pond and over the back wall.
At the moment of takeoff, Chu Qingxuan instinctively hugged Ruan Qingchen's neck. Being hugged by Chu Qingxuan, Ruan Qingchen's body trembled, and his heart became even more unsettled.
After landing, he placed Chu Qingxuan on the ground and said coldly, "Your Majesty, go back the way you came."
After saying that, Ruan Qingchen turned around neatly and returned to the original pavilion.
Chu Qingxuan glanced in the direction Ruan Qingchen had left and clicked her tongue, "It seems that Ruan Qingchen sees me as a monster."
Chu Qingxuan shrugged helplessly, turned around and left.
Ruan Qingchen returned to the pavilion and saw Jun Zilin leaning against a pillar, a playful smile on his devilish face, the smile lingering in his eyes.
Ruan Qingchen's face was grim, and she asked in a deep voice, "When did you arrive?"
Jun Zilin grinned, revealing a fox-like smile, "Just as our Emperor was climbing the wall."
"So you saw everything?"
"It seems so."
After saying this, Jun Zilin laughed heartily, his peach blossom eyes filled with tears.
Seeing Jun Zilin laughing happily, Ruan Qingchen's face darkened even more. "Have you laughed enough?"
"I didn't want to laugh either, but... it's really funny. It turns out that even the aloof and proud Imperial Advisor can be shy."
"And it's all because of what Her Majesty the Empress said."
"I also thought you would never show that expression no matter what."
Ruan Qingchen's face grew darker and darker. He clenched his fist, then suddenly swung it at Jun Zilin.
Jun Zilin quickly reacted and dodged Ruan Qingchen's attack. He pointed at Ruan Qingchen and said, "Ruan Qingchen, a gentleman uses words, not fists."
"For you, all I need to do is take action."
"Why are you angry? You mocked me before because of the Princess, and I didn't even lay a hand on you. It's not fair of you to do this!"
While dodging Ruan Qingchen's attacks, Jun Zilin tried to reason with her.
But after getting angry, Ruan Qingchen didn't want to reason with anyone.
"Alright, alright, you can hit me if you want, but you're not allowed to hit my face!"
Ruan Qingchen sneered repeatedly, only aiming to punch Jun Zilin's face.
It ended with the gentleman begging for mercy.
Jun Zilin leaned against a pillar, panting, and muttered to himself, "Thank goodness I wasn't slapped in the face, otherwise how would I go to court tomorrow?"
Ruan Qingchen glanced at Jun Zilin and said coldly, "You deserve it."
"To be honest, I really didn't mean to overhear your conversation with the Queen."
Ruan Qingchen remained silent, her expression aloof.
"I just wanted to stay away from you and not bother you. I overheard those words by accident."
As Jun Zilin recalled the scene just now, a slight smile crept onto his lips.
