Seeing the way these people looked, the emperor's face turned cold, and he lost all interest in staying. He simply turned and left.
Seeing the emperor leave in a huff, Princess Chaoyang, filled with resentment, pointed at Lu Peiran's nose and cursed, "You just wait!"
Even if you become a monk, don't expect to have an easy time! Whether you choose Huangjue Temple or Ci'en Temple, don't forget to let me know when the time comes!
After saying this, Princess Chaoyang followed the emperor and left.
After the banquet, Lu Peiran returned home with his father.
In the main courtyard of the Lu family, Lu Peiran knelt heavily before his uncles and parents, saying, "Please punish me, Father!"
Lu Heng looked at his son silently, but ultimately said nothing.
Lu Jinran, standing beside him, also wore a complicated expression. So much had happened tonight, and he didn't know how to treat his younger brother.
The uncle beside him sighed, "Pei Ran, why are you doing this to yourself! No matter what, Princess Chaoyang is a noblewoman, and her appearance is extraordinary. Why do you have to refuse her?"
Another uncle sighed, "That's right! By refusing like that, aren't you putting the Emperor and Princess Chaoyang's dignity under your feet?"
"You've not only driven yourself to the point where you have to become a monk, but you've also put the entire Lu family on the fire!"
"His Majesty's expression was truly grim today. From now on, our Lu family must be extremely cautious!"
...
Hearing his uncles' whispers, Lu Peiran said without hesitation, "I don't think I did anything wrong in this matter!"
Lu Heng put down his cup. "What's your opinion?"
Lu Peiran did not back down and said seriously, "There is an old saying that one should marry a virtuous wife, as a wicked wife can ruin three generations. Our Lu family has never had a wicked woman like Princess Chaoyang."
Not to mention, she's shameless, ill-mannered, and unruly... Marrying a woman like that is practically suicide!
"If I had to marry a woman like that, I'd rather become a monk; I might be happier that way!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Lu Peiran rattle off so many of Princess Chaoyang's flaws without even taking a breath.
The most surprised person was Lu Jinran, who had always been infatuated with Princess Chaoyang and thought she was perfect.
Unexpectedly, in her younger brother's words, Princess Chaoyang was such a wicked person...
Lu Peiran looked at his father and uncles seriously, "Also, the current situation is not the time for us to get involved with the royal family!"
This is not just my opinion; anyone with eyes and a heart can probably see the current situation clearly.
The Emperor's actions are becoming increasingly outrageous. Putting aside everything else, just look at this summer palace. It has caused immense hardship and loss of resources, and countless people have died.
But what's the point of building it? It benefits neither the country nor the people; it's just for a spoiled, lowly princess.
!
Hearing Lu Peiran's bold words, everyone was shocked. The person standing at the door quickly glanced into the courtyard and then gently closed the door.
Lu Heng's expression was solemn. "How could you say such things so easily!"
Ignoring his uncles' stunned expressions, Lu Peiran said his final words, "I think the world is about to descend into chaos!"
