Chu Qingli remained arrogant, which made Chu Qingxuan think he was childish.
She glanced at Chu Qingli, then turned her gaze to Chu Shangguo. "I will not kneel in the ancestral hall. As for the caning, when I marry into the royal family, if the prince finds me covered in bruises, how will you explain it to me, Father?"
Chu Qingxuan brought up Shangguan Li, who, though not favored, was still a prince.
Chu Qingli's face turned ashen as she glared at Chu Qingxuan. Chu Qingxuan then looked at Chu Qingli and said in a low voice, "Sister, have you forgotten what Prince An, Shangguan Li, said back then?"
"I……"
How could Chu Qingli not remember that when Shangguan Li's cold eyes were fixed on him, he felt as if he were in a frozen wasteland, unable to move.
Seeing this, Chu Qingxuan smiled and glanced at the two of them. "Since there's nothing else, then Father and Sister, please go back."
She was tired after being out all day.
Chu Qingxuan used Prince An to pressure him, so no matter how angry Chu Shangguo was, he could only suppress his anger.
After giving a cold snort, he turned and left Chu Qingxuan's residence.
Seeing this, Chu Qingli also left.
Chu Qingxuan's smile gradually faded, and she coldly watched the direction the two had left. Was this father and daughter here to be a joke?
After that, Chu Qingli never dared to cause trouble for Chu Qingxuan again, and Chu Shangguo never stepped into Chenxi Garden again.
On the day Chu Qingxuan joined the Prince An's mansion, a grand procession of red bridal procession stretched for miles as Prince An, Shangguan Li, married his "male consort," Chu Qingxuan.
Chu Qingxuan wore red and completed the wedding ceremony with the etiquette due to a princess, thus becoming the rightful Princess An.
However, in the eyes of the world, Princess An was nothing more than a man, and a joke.
I don't know what got into the original owner's mother, making her dress as a man for so many years.
The matchmaker led Shangguan Li into the bridal chamber, took their hands, clasped them tightly, and uttered a string of blessings.
May you have a long and happy marriage.
May you have a son soon.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingxuan couldn't help but feel ashamed. Didn't this matchmaker know that Chu Qingxuan was a boy? "May you have a son soon"—could a boy even give birth to a child?
Although she was indeed a woman, she was unwilling to give herself to Shangguan Lisheng.
The veil was lifted, and Shangguan Li was nowhere to be seen. Turning around, she saw him lying on the bed, yawning, "I'm going to sleep now, you should go to sleep early too."
Chu Qingxuan was furious. "Has Your Highness forgotten that we are merely business partners? I have no obligation to share a bed with you."
Shangguan Li, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them and looked at Chu Qingxuan, whose expression was unfriendly, with a mocking smile. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Is the Princess reminding me... that I want to have a passionate night with you?"
The warm breath brushed against Chu Qingxuan's ear, causing her ear tips to turn red.
Seeing this, Shangguan Li became interested in teasing her. He lifted Chu Qingxuan's chin, making her pink ear tips face him, as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Oh, our princess can blush."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingxuan slapped Shangguan Li's hand away, stared at him with her eyes wide open, and called out his name through gritted teeth, "Shangguan Li!"
Shangguan Li grinned and agreed.
Then, with an air of seriousness, she said, "How can the princess call me by my name? She should call me husband."
Chu Qingxuan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in her chest.
Shangguan Li then said, "My wife, please don't be angry. Your husband agrees."
Okay, the way we address each other has changed again.
