Chapter 603 It’s not my responsibility, I want to marry the princess myself

Princess Ying hid her surprise without making a sound and pretended to be angry: "I didn't expect the number one scholar to be so rude!"

Yu Yongliu bowed deeply to the ground: "I know this is presumptuous, but please trust me, Princess. I will not do anything rude to you, even if we don't meet. I just want to ask you a few questions through the screen."

Princess Ying already considered Yu Yongliu her future son-in-law, and was satisfied with his performance. However, she still pretended to be angry: "Then tell me why you want to see my princess?"

Yu Yongliu said frankly: "Because I want to marry the princess, I want to ask for her opinion."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sound of something being knocked over in the inner room, and a panicked "Ouch" was heard from a young girl.

Princess Ying felt helpless.

This silly girl.

Yu Yongliu, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment. When he heard a familiar voice, he subconsciously looked towards the inner room.

But he soon realized that this was a bit rude, so he restrained himself and retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and continued to bow: "...I hope that the princess will allow me. Please rest assured, I will only ask you a few questions through the screen, and I will never offend you."

Princess Ying became more and more satisfied with Yu Yongliu.

But the more satisfied she was, the more cautious she became, not letting her own preferences influence her daughter's choice of a spouse.

Princess Ying wanted to calm down and ask a few more questions, but Princess Qing'an's voice came from the inner room, which was a bit shy and flustered: "...You are being rude by asking these questions!"

Princess Ying: “…”

My daughter, are you speaking out like this because you are afraid that Yu Yongliu doesn't know that you are interested in him, so you have to speak out even if you have to hide in the house and not see any guests?

What you said is just like little children scolding their lovers!

Princess Ying looked as if she couldn't bear to listen any more.

Yu Yongliu, on the other hand, pinched his palms when he heard Princess Qing'an say this, and forced himself to suppress his nervousness. He said, "...Princess, I have no other choice. If you feel offended, I apologize to you."

Princess Qing'an's somewhat bewildered voice came from the inner room: "...I didn't say that!"

Princess Ying closed her eyes, her silly daughter.

Yu Yongliu pinched his palm again, and then said: "...Since the princess is here, I will speak directly...I want to ask the princess to marry me, I wonder if the princess is willing to marry me?"

Princess Ying hissed and took a breath of cool air.

Boy, you are really brave.

Sure enough, there was no sound in the inner room for a long time. Princess Ying could guess with her eyes closed that her daughter must be embarrassed and panicked.

After a while, Princess Qing'an's voice came out from the room again. Her concealment was not very good, and anyone could hear that her voice was trembling, but she was still trying to be calm: "You, you are telling me this, are you telling me this because of responsibility?"

Yu Yongliu paused, remembering how Princess Qing'an had refused when he said he would take responsibility for her.

Yu Yongliu said in a deep voice: "It's not a responsibility, it's me who wants to marry the princess."

With just this sentence, something in the inner room was accidentally knocked over. Princess Ying couldn't sit still anymore, fearing that her usually smart daughter would become stupid after being touched by Yu Yongliu. What if she fell somewhere again?

Princess Ying looked at Yu Yongliu helplessly.

I thought to myself, this new number one scholar is really amazing. Look how bewitched he is by his daughter. She is completely bewildered.

No, she had to set all the rules for her daughter before the marriage was completed!

Yu Yongliu stood there, trying to remain calm, but in fact his clothes on the back were soaked with sweat.

——He was also waiting for Princess Qing’an’s answer.

For a long while, there was no other movement inside.

Princess Ying was getting a little impatient and was about to get up to go inside to take a look when her daughter's voice came out from inside, with a hint of shame that could not be concealed: "... Marriage is a matter of course decided by parents and matchmakers, why are you asking me?"

Yu Yongliu was stunned for a while before he digested the meaning of Princess Qing'an's words.

This means that Princess Qing'an is willing!

——The princess is also interested in him!

Yu Yongliu felt that the joy in his heart was rushing up from his feet to the top of his head!

The clothes that were soaked with sweat no longer felt uncomfortable at all, and my whole body seemed to be light and floating, as if I was going to fly to the sky in the next moment!

Yu Yongliu, a usually calm young man, acted a bit silly for the first time. He stood there, forgetting his manners for a moment and acting like a young boy.

Princess Ying couldn't help but smile when she looked at the two little children.

But she knew that a good marriage required more than just two people being interested in each other.

Princess Ying coughed heavily, breaking the charming and relaxed atmosphere.

Princess Ying felt that she had to make the boy from the Yu family understand.

Her daughter was a princess, and was raised tenderly by the Yingwang Mansion. Moreover, her daughter was not only of noble status, but also kind-hearted. She saved her monthly allowance every year and often accompanied her to the charity hall to do charity work.

In Princess Ying's eyes, even the princesses in the palace are no match for her daughter!

Even though she liked this future son-in-law very much, she couldn't let this foolish boy kidnap her daughter so easily!

Princess Ying thought so and couldn't help but act like a future mother-in-law who was picking on her stupid son-in-law. She looked Yu Yongliu up and down and said, "...Just now you said you wanted to marry my Qing'an. Little Master Yu, you should know that my Qing'an is the princess of the current dynasty. It's not that easy to marry her."

Yu Yongliu bowed to Princess Ying with a sincere attitude and said, "I understand. Please tell me what your requirements are. I will do my best to fulfill them."

Princess Ying smiled and said, "Master Xiao Yu, it sounds like I've put forward the conditions, and if you can do it, you can marry my Qing'an? But it's not that simple. We were just chatting casually. As for the details, our prince is out on business, so we have to wait for him to come back and decide."

Yu Yongliu had been mentally prepared.

He knew that Princess Qing'an was of noble status, and since he had come, he was willing to give up everything he had to ask for her hand in marriage.

Yu Yongliu now understood what Princess Ying meant. She wanted to consider him again.

It was telling him that even though his daughter was willing, they didn't necessarily have to agree to the marriage.

Yu Yongliu did not dare to relax at all, his body tensed, and he nodded in agreement.

Princess Ying was very satisfied with this.

She stood up, walked around Yu Yongliu confidently, and looked him up and down.

Yu Yongliu's body was almost tense like a piece of iron. His hands and feet were no longer in the same state as his own. He was extremely nervous.

Even during the palace examination, when Emperor Jiazheng was looking at him from the throne, he had never been so nervous!

Princess Ying turned around and sat back with satisfaction.
