The most stiff of them all were the brothers Lu Jinran and Lu Peiran.
After realizing what Princess Chaoyang had said, Lu Peiran immediately looked at his elder brother.
As he expected, his elder brother's face was filled with shock, and his eyes were full of disbelief and betrayal as he looked at him.
Lu Peiran couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment and anger. This Princess Chaoyang was far too willful and reckless!
What kind of relationship did I have with her?!
They had never met before today!
Moreover, as the person involved, she couldn't possibly be unaware that the emperor had already negotiated her marriage with her elder brother with the Lu family, right?
Under such circumstances, how dare she say such a thing!
This is simply an act of marrying one woman to two men, an act that cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth!
A woman like this is not even worthy of her brother, who has been outstanding and self-disciplined since childhood. Even people of high moral character would look down on her!
He wouldn't want a woman like that even if she were given to him!
Lu Peiran couldn't help but feel a surge of barely suppressed anger as he looked in the direction of the emperor.
Even their "wise and mighty" emperor was stunned by his daughter's unexpected move.
The emperor glanced at the reactions of his ministers, especially the reaction of the head of the Lu family.
Seeing the unpleasant look on Lu Peiran's father's face, he couldn't help but turn around and say to his daughter with a hint of reproach, "Chaoyang! How can you be so willful?"
Listen to your father, you should choose a different divination. Your marriage will be taken care of by your father and mother.
You're a young, unmarried woman; you shouldn't worry about these things!
Anyone could see that the emperor disapproved of this matter; if it were these people, they would have changed their minds immediately.
But Princess Chaoyang was no ordinary person. Relying on her favored status, she tugged at the emperor's sleeve with a resentful expression and said, "No!"
Father, you just said I could choose for myself! In front of so many ministers, are you going to go back on your word?
"I've fallen for him! Don't you think he's great? Handsome and gentle, he seems like a really good person!"
The emperor's face was full of embarrassment. He naturally knew who this young man was.
In this generation of the Lu family, the two brothers, Lu Jinran and Lu Peiran, are the most outstanding. Who wouldn't know them?
However, no matter how outstanding Lu Peiran is, the second son is ultimately different from the eldest son!
Putting everything else aside, the one who will inherit the Lu family in the future will definitely be Lu Jinran, the eldest son!
Therefore, as a father, he would naturally choose Lu Jinran as his son-in-law. He never expected that his daughter would be so insensible.
The emperor, looking troubled, advised, "Chaoyang, listen to me, take back those words!"
Princess Chaoyang pouted angrily, "No! I want him! I won't marry anyone but him!"
"Stop talking! As a princess, to utter such shameless words in front of all these ministers is utterly absurd!" Lu Peiran cursed inwardly.
Lu Peiran's expression was beyond ugly; he immediately knelt on the ground, lowered his head to cover his face, and cried out, "Your Majesty! This is unacceptable!"
Upon hearing this, not only everyone present, but even the Emperor and Princess Chaoyang were stunned.
The emperor's face turned cold; he had objected because of his daughter's willful behavior.
However, Lu Peiran's refusal is a different matter altogether...
