Chu Qingxuan remained silent for a long time, frowning in deep thought. Since Chu Qingxuan was silent, Jun Zilin did not dare to leave.
He was waiting for Chu Qingxuan to say something.
"Jun Zilin, you are a prime minister, can't you act like a man?"
Chu Qingxuan looked at Jun Zilin with disdain, and Jun Zilin was also frightened by Chu Qingxuan's appearance.
Chu Qingxuan's beautiful face showed a hint of anger, and her dark eyes were deep and gloomy. The Empress was angry.
"Your Majesty, some things cannot be forced."
"I didn't ask you that. I only asked you one question: what are your feelings for Chu Qingwan?"
Chu Qingxuan changed her wording; she referred to Chu Qingwan instead of the Eldest Princess.
Jun Zilin hesitated for a moment before replying, "I have no other thoughts about the Princess."
After hearing this, Chu Qingxuan smiled faintly and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That's good."
Junzi was puzzled.
Next, Jun Zilin heard Chu Qingxuan say, "Judging from what Murong Ze said today, he probably wants to find a Crown Princess from our Tianqi Kingdom, and the most suitable Crown Princess is the Eldest Princess."
"I was thinking that if you still had feelings for the Princess, I would grant you a marriage. But now it seems... no need. Perhaps the Princess can become Empress in Xuefeng Kingdom."
Chu Qingxuan said a lot of things, while observing Jun Zilin's expression.
Jun Zilin's expression turned ugly for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.
But Chu Qingxuan still saw it.
Chu Qingxuan's lips curled into a sly smile. "I knew you were just saying one thing and meaning another."
Is it really that hard to admit you have feelings for my little sister?
"Your Majesty..." Jun Zilin was about to speak when Chu Qingxuan interrupted him, saying, "Since you have no other feelings for the Princess, then I will not ask any further. You may leave now."
Junzi opened his mouth, but then hesitated and stopped.
Chu Qingxuan could tell that Jun Zilin wanted to say something more, but she didn't want to listen anymore.
After seeing Jun Zilin off, Chu Qingxuan summoned Le Wuyou and said, "Wuyou, come with me out of the palace."
This time, Chu Qingxuan left the palace openly and legitimately. Le Wuyou stared at Chu Qingxuan with her eyes closed in the carriage, feeling very gratified.
His Majesty finally entered the Imperial Preceptor's residence in a normal manner.
The carriage finally stopped in front of the Imperial Preceptor's residence. After getting off the carriage, Chu Qingxuan glanced at the guards at the entrance of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
It wasn't the same person who had stopped her before.
Le Wuyou stepped forward and said, "Her Majesty the Empress has arrived. Go and inform the Grand Preceptor."
"yes!"
One person went to report, while the other led Chu Qingxuan inside.
When Chu Qingxuan saw Ruan Qingchen this time, she felt that Ruan Qingchen's eyes had changed, and there was something more in his gaze when he looked at her.
Ruan Qingchen wore a moon-white robe as usual, which accentuated his slender figure. His expression was aloof as he said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
There was no excessive respect; it was merely a greeting from a subject.
Chu Qingxuan didn't think Ruan Qingchen was challenging her authority; on the contrary, she thought it was a good thing.
She didn't want Ruan Qingchen to treat her like that either.
Chu Qingxuan slowly curved her lips into a slight smile, "No need for formalities. I have come here today to ask the Imperial Advisor for some advice."
Chu Qingxuan glanced at Le Wuyou, signaling her to leave. Le Wuyou immediately understood and said, "This subordinate takes her leave."
After Le Wuyou left, Ruan Qingchen also asked Nan Yuan to leave.
Only Chu Qingxuan and Ruan Qingchen remained in the hall.
The former asked, "Does the Imperial Advisor know if the Prime Minister has a woman he admires?"
