Chen Che was stunned. How could a girl like her ask such a question so openly?
She is really not an ordinary woman.
She didn't choose herself last time because Brother Cao didn't agree, and she was old enough, so she had no choice but to choose herself.
Chen Che said nothing again, rubbing his two fingers together, with the corners of his lips drooping.
The princess doesn't have the patience. It's just a matter of a word. Why are you hesitating?
She slapped the chair and stood up, shouting: "Are you willing or not?"
"I am willing." Shen Che was stunned after he said this. He thought he was a proud and arrogant person, but he succumbed to her tyranny so easily.
For some reason, looking at her relaxed brows, he did not feel oppressed, but rather a little shy.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at the eldest princess who was already laughing, his handsome face flushed.
The emperor held his forehead with his hand while smiling. How could he just ask someone directly whether they were willing or not? Did the prince forget that he was a girl?
"Okay, the Princess's Mansion has been granted, and I will arrange a marriage for the two of you."
"Thank you, Father."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The eldest princess took her leave and left.
Shen Che also took his leave, and when he came out, the woman turned around and looked at him.
The few steps he took seemed to be burning with fire, and when he realized that she was still staring at him, the tips of Shen Che's ears unconsciously turned red again.
"Your Highness."
"Your name is Chen Che, right?"
"That's right, what do you want, Your Highness?"
"From now on, you will be my consort. I cannot be like other women who only stay in the backyard to take care of their husbands and children after marriage. You cannot be like other men who have the opportunity to become an important official in the court. Would you feel unwilling?"
"I dare not. I know that Your Highness is in charge of the treasury, and I also know what being a consort means."
"I agreed to this voluntarily after being fully aware of the premise, and I will not be unwilling to do so."
The princess' lips curled slightly, but she quickly lowered them, and said in an unhappy tone, "Why did you answer so slowly just now?"
Chen Che dodged his gaze, then whispered: "I'm afraid...I'm afraid that Your Highness had no choice but to choose me."
The eldest princess suddenly wanted to say no, but she took the words back.
This was the first time they met, so there was no need to explain it to him.
"Don't think too much. The imperial decree will be granted soon. I will send someone to go back with you to prepare for the wedding."
Chen Che's face turned red again: "Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
Why is he always blushing? The princess found it funny: "Go out of the palace."
"Farewell, Your Highness."
Watching the people walk away, Chen Che touched his hot cheek and suddenly felt a little happy. He became the eldest princess's consort, not... someone else.
After returning home, he wrote a letter to his family, but he didn't know how to start.
As I was writing, I couldn't help but laugh. Two days ago, I felt that he had no chance, but today it's his turn.
When the servant next to him looked at him, he quickly lay down on the table to prevent him from seeing his expression.
How could the servant not see it? His smug look was too eye-catching.
On the second day, the imperial edict granting marriage arrived at the Hanlin Academy, and Chen Che went out to receive it.
The eunuch who announced the decree spoke in a loud voice, and all the colleagues in the room heard it. They looked at each other with joy on their faces, preparing to congratulate Chen Che in a moment.
Cao Yuan was writing with a pen in hand. Upon hearing this, she clenched the pen tightly, and the paper under her left hand wrinkled slightly. She... chose Chen Che again?
Well, Chen Che is well-educated and good-looking.
It’s a good thing that she can choose the right person so quickly.
But why do I feel so depressed?
When Shen Che came back after receiving the imperial edict, voices immediately rang out around him: "As expected of a third place winner, he was chosen by the Princess and His Majesty. Congratulations to Prince Consort Shen."
While thanking him repeatedly, he glanced at Cao Yuan to see his reaction.
He knew that Cao Yuan didn't dislike the eldest princess, but he had to give her up for the sake of his future and his family.
I saw him stand up and smile, and congratulations to him.
Shen Che nodded and said thank you.
Although there were only four words, Wu Qiong felt that the atmosphere between the two was different.
Others may not know, but the three of them know clearly that the eldest princess wanted to choose Cao Yuan from the beginning. There won't be any rift between the two of them because of this, right?
Colleagues arranged for Chen Che to treat everyone, and Wu Qiong also joined in the fun. Only Cao Yuan sat quietly at his desk, continuing to write, staying out of the excitement.
The wedding of the eldest princess and the new third place winner of the imperial examination attracted much attention. Apart from anything else, the two of them standing together were like a painting that people could not get enough of.
Chen Che comes from a wealthy family and has a handsome appearance. Due to years of reading, his skin is whiter than that of ordinary men and more beautiful than that of the young men in the capital.
He was tall and slender, his bright red wedding gown was well-tailored, and he walked as straight as a pine tree.
The eldest princess's tall figure, paired with a gorgeous wedding gown, makes her look even more graceful and elegant.
The two of them bowed to heaven and earth and entered the bridal chamber.
Chen Che did not feel humiliated by "marrying" into the princess's mansion. They had met twice in the past two months. Although they talked about the new house, he was very happy every time they met.
He could feel that he had fallen in love with this extraordinary woman.
Because he didn't dare to think about her choosing Cao Yuan again. The thought made his heart ache like a knife.
I can’t imagine her wearing a red dress and marrying someone else.
After a few toasts, they returned to the bridal chamber and lifted the veil. The bride's crown was heavy, so the palace maids carefully removed it.
The eldest princess was pulled twice and cried out softly.
Shen Che felt distressed watching her, and every breath she took seemed to be piercing his heart.
I wanted to lend a hand and help, but I was afraid that I didn't understand and would hurt her even more.
The eldest princess saw his nervous look out of the corner of her eye and felt a little happy in her heart. She screamed in pain on purpose to scare him.
After bathing, she lay down on the bed.
The man in red underwear sat on the bed, touched her head, and asked softly: "Does it still hurt? Let me rub it for you, Your Highness?"
