with a few points of coldness. 。Rongyue stood on the sidelines, watching the few people in the field. A smile played at the corner of her mouth, one that held a chilling coldness that was hard to mis..."Yes, Night Brother, I'm willing!" Zhao Ruoqing nodded excitedly, afraid that if she spoke too slowly, he would change his mind.

Looking at Jun Li's handsome and peerless face, Zhao Ruohua suddenly blushed and lowered her head slightly, biting her lower lip, and said shyly: "Night Brother, actually, you don't have to wait until the wedding. I, I can give myself to you now."

This is a blatant "invitation"!

After finishing her words, she secretly glanced at his reaction with her eyes, then quickly lowered her head. Her heart couldn't help but flutter with spring feelings, and she was secretly looking forward to it.

Upon hearing this, Jun Liye's handsome features froze abruptly. A sharp wave of nausea surged through his stomach, his expression contorted as if he had swallowed a dozen flies, utterly disgusted.

He suddenly stood up from his seat. Jun Liye crossed his arms behind his back, turned away coldly, and refused without hesitation: "No!"

"Night Ge" She didn't expect this kind of reaction from him. Zhao Ruqing was suddenly at a loss, staring blankly at his back. The shyness she had felt instantly transformed into embarrassment.

Realizing he'd overreacted, Jun Li took a few deep breaths to compose himself. He quickly adjusted his expression, turning away with a solemn face and furrowed brows. "Qinger," he said in a serious tone, "before we're married, I won't lay a finger on you. I will ensure you remain untouched and whole until our wedding day. This is my respect for you."

Hearing this, Zhao Ruoqing's heart was instantly filled with warmth. The slight displeasure and embarrassment she felt vanished like smoke, "Night Brother, I'm sorry for misunderstanding your kindness. I never expected you to care about me so much. Rest assured, I will go to the palace soon and ask my father to give us a marriage."

"I'm sorry I made you suffer." Jun Liye nodded, looking at her with apologetic eyes. That look, truly, was the embodiment of love for her.

"Not wronged, not at all wronged. Being able to marry Brother Ye is the blessing I've cultivated for several lifetimes." Zhao Ruqing's cheeks were flushed red, she couldn't hold back her excitement at all, and hurriedly called her maid in, eagerly instructing, "Ling'er, prepare the carriage quickly, this princess will go to the palace immediately."

She must make her father agree to their marriage as soon as possible!

As her maid-in-waiting, Ling'er naturally understood the princess's physical condition. Hearing this, she immediately worried and said, "But Princess, your body..."

“My body is fine, why are you so nosy Just go if I tell you to, what's with all the chatter!” Before she could finish her sentence, Zhao Ruqing cut her off sharply. She not only didn't appreciate her concern, but was even a little annoyed by her meddling, afraid that Jun Liye would find out about her body's secret!

Faced with Zhao Ruqing's glare, Ling'er instantly fell silent as a frightened hare. She quickly lowered her head, daring not utter another word, and scurried away immediately. "Your Highness, please forgive me. This servant will go now."

Having prepared everything, Zhao Ruqing bid farewell to Jun Liye with reluctance and galloped towards the palace at top speed.

On the other hand, Nanjiang Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess requests an audience." After a short while, Xiao Changzi, the chief eunuch, walked in slowly and reported in a low voice.

"She's really fast, here she comes. Is Zhao Ruqing this impatient" Lying carelessly on Zhao Jin's throne, Zhao Tianyu let out a cold snort, genuinely astonished by her haste.

With a swift kick, Zhao Jin sent him tumbling from his own seat. She glared at him, "You idiot boy, what are you still doing just standing there Didn't you hear her arrive Hurry and get lost! If she sees you here, this whole play will be ruined!"

"Don't rush me, I'm coming right now. Old man, be careful, don't give yourself away." Zhao Tianyu patted the footprints on his clothes and immediately straightened his expression, reminding him again and again.

"Got it, scram!" Zhao Jin gave him a withering look and impatiently urged him to leave. Her two goat whiskers trembled as she spoke, utterly adorable.

Hmph, don't think that just because he agreed to play along with them, it means he forgave him!

Never! It doesn't exist!

Upon seeing this, Zhao Tianyu lingered no longer. He hurried to use his light kung fu to escape through the window before Zhao Ruqing arrived.

"Xiao Changzi, go and summon Princess Chang." Zhao Jin only calmly walked to the throne and sat down after Zhao Tianyu had completely disappeared. He then gave Xiao Changzi a casual order.

"Yes, master," Xiao Changzi nodded and didn't dare to delay. He immediately turned back and invited Zhao Ruqing, who was waiting outside, in.

"My son greets his father, may the Emperor live ten thousand years!" Zhao Ruocheng bowed deeply with grace and propriety. A flash of disdain and malice crossed her eyes.

Even if she was displeased with her father in her heart, on the surface, she still had to put on a show.

His dark eyes flickered, Zhao Jin's heart was as clear as a mirror, but on the surface he didn't show it at all. He feigned confusion and said, "Qing'er, you're in such a hurry, is there something urgent you need to tell me"

"Father, this time I came here, there is something important to ask for, hoping that Father will agree." Her heart warmed, her face suddenly flushed slightly, and her heart leaped with excitement almost jumping out of her chest.

"Oh Go on then." Zhao Jin observed her expression without a sound, her brows furrowing slightly as a hint of doubt colored her tone.

"My son has admired a man for quite some time, and today I entered the palace to ask my father to grant us permission to marry." Zhao Ruqing looked directly at him, her tone and demeanor leaving no room for doubt or request.

Unfazed by her attitude, Zhao Jin was taken aback for a moment. Then, his brows furrowed tightly, his face betraying no emotion as he spoke in a grave voice: "Marriage This... Qinger, this concerns your lifelong happiness. Have you thought it through"

"Yes, my son has made up his mind. Please father, decree the marriage." After speaking, Zhao Ruqing had already lost her patience, and there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

Seeing her impatient face, Zhao Jin knew the play was almost over. He sighed and pondered for a moment before saying, " ...Very well, since you've made up your mind, I won't say much more. Xiao Changzi, grind it."

Hearing this, the attendant Xiao Changzi standing nearby immediately walked to the imperial case and skillfully ground the ink for him.

"Hold on!" Picking up a fine wolf's hair brush, Zhao Jin was just about to dip it in ink when Zhao Ruqing suddenly spoke, stopping him.

This sudden shout startled Zhao Jin, causing her hand to tremble violently and nearly dropping the wolf's hair brush.

Zhao Jin inexplicably raised her head, looked at her in confusion, her eyelids twitching uncontrollably, and her palms were slightly damp with sweat.

Wouldn't she see through my disguise

Just when Zhao Jin was extremely nervous, Zhao Ruqing blushed and turned her face away, urgently saying: "Father Emperor, please expedite our wedding date as much as possible."

"Zhao Jin's muscles under her eyes twitched violently.

Is that all she wanted to say

"OMG! I scared him half to death! I thought he'd seen through me!"

After calming himself down, Zhao Jin held the ink-stained wolf hair brush and, after some thought and hesitation, said: "What about three days later"

"Such a good idea, thank you, Father." Zhao Ruqing nodded happily, extremely satisfied.m really do have a thing for each other, I will wholeheartedly bless them.”Her long fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and Jun Liye looked at her with unexpected surprise. "Ying'er, you don't o...
