Upon hearing Princess Anxing's words, many people present changed their expressions slightly.
It was quite inappropriate for a princess of one country to say such things, especially to a princess of another country.
However, Princess Anxing grew up under the Empress Sun's favor and was used to doing things her own way. She always said what she thought and never cared what others thought.
Many people present knew Princess Anxing's temperament, so upon reflection, they didn't find it strange at all.
Apart from the first three princes, the other princes of the Yunqi royal family are still minors, so only three princes attended this poetry competition.
Upon hearing Princess Anxing's words, Yun Gan, on the men's side, continued to whisper, laugh, and drink with others, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Yun Hao sat alone in a corner, drinking with his head down, and no one could see his expression.
Only Yun Shao could not suppress his expression, his face was very ugly, and he stared intently at Su Ruojin.
Yun Shao finally woke up at Tianning Temple and rushed back to Yuncheng, just in time for the poetry competition.
He failed at Tianning Temple this time, but even if he can't marry Su Ruojin, he can't let his eldest brother benefit from it.
After returning to Yuncheng, Yun Shao was exhausted and did not summon his concubines or maids to his bedchamber. He had not yet discovered anything wrong with his body.
“Eldest sister, Princess Chang Le is only here in Yun Qi to pick up our grandmother,” Yun Shao said.
Princess Anxing glanced at Yun Shao indifferently, "Third brother, I was just mentioning it casually, so it doesn't count. It still depends on what Princess Chang Le thinks."
Zhao Jingning looked at Su Ruojin nervously; she never expected to encounter this situation upon arriving at the palace.
Princess Anxing was the Empress's eldest daughter and the eldest prince's biological daughter. She couldn't have said that without a reason; it was clearly the Empress's intention.
Although Su Ruojin is a princess of the Great Chu, she is currently in Yunqi. If Su Ruojin directly rejects Princess Anxing, it would be equivalent to rejecting the Empress, and who knows what the consequences would be.
What should we do?
The Empress seemed not to hear, and picked up her teacup to drink her tea.
A faint smile appeared on Su Ruojin's face. The Empress was asking her opinion through Princess Anxing.
What? I'm just here to pick up my grandmother in Yunqi, and the Empress wants to keep me here in Yunqi?
She was only granted the title of Princess after arriving in Yunqi, and did not follow the usual ceremonies for a Princess visiting other countries. Does the Empress of Yunqi think she is so alone and easy to bully?
"Princess, you jest. The First Prince is a dragon among men. I, Ruojin, am but a willow in appearance. How can I compare to the First Prince? I have heard that the First Prince's wife is the most beautiful woman in Yunqi. She and the First Prince are a match made in heaven."
Empress Sun slowly put down her teacup, her smile turning colder. Had Princess Chang Le refused?
In this situation, Empress Sun could not say anything more. "Since ancient times, marriage has been preordained by heaven. When fate comes, no one can escape it. Princess Chang Le, I hope you can find a good match."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Ruojin bowed and sat down, pretending not to notice the threat in Empress Sun's words.
As she sat down, Su Ruojin nodded slightly to Zhao Jingning, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
After waking up, Jia Yingying insisted on returning to the poetry gathering. She had spent a long time studying under a renowned teacher for this gathering and couldn't let it go to waste.
She was determined to get revenge for the insults she had suffered at the poetry gathering!
Let the Crown Prince see who is truly worthy of his affection!
Jia Yingying's face turned pale after hearing Princess Anxing's words.
According to Yunqi's rules, a prince can only marry one princess and two concubines. The eldest prince has already married a princess and a concubine. If Su Ruojin becomes the eldest prince's concubine, should she be allowed to enter the eldest prince's residence as a concubine?
