Chapter 40: Angry at the Scholar



Lu Qingyuan controlled her temper and said, "I have no feelings for you, so why force it? You are well-educated, and it would be perfect if you could marry a woman who could write poetry with you."

Chen Ziyang was delighted. "So the princess also knows how knowledgeable I am?" It seems she isn't completely devoid of feelings for me.

Thinking of this, he said: "I love Her Royal Highness the Princess with all my heart."

There was a hint of gloom in Shen Mingyue's eyes, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

Instead, there is indifference and anger.

"One passes the imperial examinations and enters the court as an official in order to benefit the people and to unleash one's talents. You are so short-sighted, you simply don't care about the people of the world. In my opinion, you should return home and farm!"

Chen Ziyang's ears turned red from being scolded: "I..."

"Oh no, farming requires practical considerations. You're too ambitious and eager for quick success. You're not good at anything. You might as well just daydream!"

He emphasized weakly: "In my heart, the princess is the most important."

"Do you know what her favorite cakes and teas are? Do you know what patterns she likes embroidered on her clothes? Do you know what she does when she's sad? Do you know what food she hates the most?"

Chen Ziyang was silent.

He was not familiar with Lu Qingyuan at all, so of course he had no way of knowing these things.

"You claim to love someone deeply without knowing anything. How much is your love worth? Can you take responsibility for insulting the princess's reputation?"

Swearing is tiring.

"Sister-in-law is absolutely right."

Lu Qingyuan smiled and poured a cup of tea for Shen Mingyue.

Her eyes were full of admiration: As expected, my sister-in-law is the most eloquent! With my sister-in-law around, I'm not afraid of anything!

Chen Ziyang raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said stubbornly, "Your Highness, you are making unreasonable arguments. Even if I lose my official position, I still want to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Seeing that Chen Ziyang was losing, Princess Heng stepped forward again and said, "Your Highness, as the saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage."

Shen Mingyue glared at Princess Heng fiercely with a dagger-like gaze: "What marriage? I think you're crazy! Our Qing Yuan is a pure and innocent girl, she will never marry a random guy!"
