Shangguan Li gritted his teeth, "Chu Qingxuan, I will absolutely not marry Chu Qingli, don't even think about it!"
The face of Shangguan Li in front of her grew increasingly gloomy, and his deep phoenix eyes were filled with coldness, which made Chu Qingxuan feel a little scared.
Why is Shangguan Li so angry?
She opened her mouth, about to speak, when the system stopped her: [Host, I advise you to shut up now.]
Chu Qingxuan looked up and saw that Shangguan Li's eyes were still fixed on her, filled with anger.
"Shangguan Li, if you don't like it, you just don't like it, why are you so angry?"
Shangguan Li was speechless. Yes, why was he so angry?
"My affairs are none of your concern!"
Shangguan Li turned and left. Chu Qingxuan stared at Shangguan Li's back thoughtfully. His reaction was so strong, could it be that Shangguan Li already had someone he liked?
Anyone but Bai Wan'er is fine.
Through the screen, Chu Qingxuan heard Shangguan Li outside say in a firm voice, "I don't want anyone but the Princess!"
Chu Qingxuan: "..."
If you don't want to marry Chu Qingli, just say so. Why drag me into this?
Chu Qingxuan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Chu Qingxuan came out. The eunuch who delivered the imperial decree came as soon as Chu Qingxuan left. He bowed slightly, but Chu Qingxuan waved her hand and said, "No need, sir. As you can see, I tried to persuade the prince, but he got even angrier after hearing it. There was nothing I could do."
She had no idea what Shangguan Li was thinking at that moment.
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. This servant will return to the palace to report to the Emperor immediately."
Upon hearing that the eunuch was going to report to the Emperor, Chu Qingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly. She quickly grabbed the eunuch's hand and whispered ingratiatingly, "I know you are a favorite of Father Emperor, and I'm sure you also know that the Prince has this kind of temper. Please, eunuch, put in a good word for our Prince..."
Chu Qingxuan slipped some silver into his hand and handed it to him.
Little did he know that this little action was seen by Shangguan Li, who had returned.
His brows furrowed slightly as he coldly watched Chu Qingxuan chucklingly try to fool the eunuch from the palace.
"May I ask how I should address you, sir?"
"Your Highness, my surname is Li."
"Then thank you very much, Eunuch Li."
Chu Qingxuan used money to make Eunuch Li happy, and the smile on Chu Qingxuan's face only faded after Eunuch Li left.
She rubbed her cheeks; her face was stiff from smiling so much!
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I wouldn't have known where the princess had learned such methods from."
Shangguan Li leaned against the door not far away, arms crossed, gazing at Chu Qingxuan.
Chu Qingxuan rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Do you think I want to? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be bowing and scraping."
"Judging from what Your Highness means... I should thank Your Highness?"
Chu Qingxuan nodded, "If you show such disrespect to Eunuch Li, and he goes back and impeaches you to your father, do you think your life will be easy?"
"The charge of disobeying the imperial decree has already been established. Do you think... Father will let me off the hook?"
Chu Qingxuan: "..."
You really know how to act up.
"Fine, I'm not going to bother with you anymore, do whatever you want."
After Eunuch Li returned, the emperor was indeed furious, almost slamming his fist on the table.
"Eunuch Li, did that unfilial son really say that?"
Eunuch Li knelt on the ground and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, that's indeed what Prince An said, but Prince An is deeply in love with the Princess Consort, which is why he acted this way..."
"What do you mean by 'deeply in love'! Two men spending their whole lives together, what kind of behavior is that!"
