?
Chen Zhuo stared blankly at the scene before him.
As an old minister of the court, he was naturally aware of the fad Princess Xuanhuang!
Back when the country was in turmoil, she wielded the Heavenly Decree Seal to quell the chaos, pulling the Great Yuan out of the mire, and guarded the desolate Southern Border for several years, keeping the Barbarian Tribe at bay ever since!
With her commanding the armies of the Heavenly Phoenix and Xuanhuang, at a ti when military generals were scarce, she held absolute prestige and authority within the army!
A legitimate mber of the Imperial Family, holding military power, and with extraordinary prowess...
If not for being a woman and uninterested in politics, she might have already stord the court to beco the regent controlling the Eastern Royal Palace!
This woman, who dared to point at the Emperor’s nose and call him foolish, how could she have gotten involved with Chen Mo?!
"The Princess has only been back in the capital for a few days and had no prior contact with the Chen Family... but judging by her tone earlier, she seems very familiar with Chen Mo, even having drunk together?"
Chen Zhuo snapped back to reality, swallowing hard.
What on earth is this kid up to?!
Being unclear with the Empress and Imperial Consort was one thing, but now getting involved with the Princess too, this could baffle his entire family!
Chen Mo frowned slightly.
Looking at those lips so close, he silently stepped back, saying: "Your Highness jests."
"Do I look like I’m joking?" The Princess blinked and said, "Did you think seriously about what I told you before? About becoming my..."
"Ahem!"
Chen Mo coughed, interrupting, "My father is present, please watch your words, Your Highness."
"Hmm?"
Only then did Chu Yanli give Chen Zhuo a proper look, "This is your father? Well, he does resemble you sowhat."
Chen Zhuo shook his head, "We’re not that close, we barely have a relationship."
Chen Mo: "..."
"That’s perfect. Since your father is here, I’ll be straightforward." Chu Yanli cleared her throat, "I’ve taken a liking to your son. Do you have any objections?"
The way she asked, even if I did, I wouldn’t dare voice them!
Chen Zhuo hadn’t expected the Princess to be so direct, and he forced a smile, "Your Highness, being of noble status, how could my son be worthy? Besides, my son is already engaged. Isn’t spreading such rumors a tarnish to Your Highness’s honor..."
Chu Yanli, unconcerned, waved her hand, "It doesn’t matter to , everyone can just..."
"Your Highness!"
Chen Mo couldn’t bear it any longer, his face darkening, "That’s enough. Do you really find this amusing?"
From their first eting, this Princess Xuanhuang had been entangling him, and though he had compromised repeatedly, she had only pressed further, exhausting his remaining patience.
"I told you, I am serious," Chu Yanli said, spreading her hands.
"Serious, huh?" Chen Mo nodded, "Alright then, shall we go to your palace or my ho?"
Chu Yanli asked puzzled, "Go do what?"
Chen Mo took two steps forward, staring at her, "Didn’t you say you took a liking to and wanted as your concubine? Let’s do what a concubine does."
?
Chu Yanli was montarily taken aback.
Chen Mo sneered, "What, is Your Highness having second thoughts?"
Faced with his teasing and mocking gaze, Chu Yanli felt displeased, as if she was being underestimated, and imdiately said, "Fine, let’s go to my place!"
She reached out, grabbed Chen Mo’s arm, and in a flash, they disappeared.
The air fell silent.
Chen Zhuo felt a sense of unreality.
It seed the Princess had taken a liking to him, but Chen Mo wasn’t interested?
How fantastical, is this really still the Great Yuan?
He wiped the cold sweat from his brow, glanced at Li Yuan beside him, and quietly asked, "Households Commander Li, you’ve always followed Chen Mo. Do you know what the deal is between him and the Princess?"
How did two unrelated people end up entangled?
But Li Yuan ignored his question, her cheeks blushing, grinning foolishly to herself, "He called his wife... hehe... hehehe..."
Chen Zhuo: "..."
...
...
Changning Pavilion.
In the bedroom, two figures appeared out of thin air.
Actually, on the way back, Chu Yanli had already co to her senses.
Her visit to Chen Mo was to inquire about the Eightfold Exorcism Array, and she had rely ntioned a few extra words without expecting it to escalate to this point.
However, given the circumstances, with her character, there was no reason for retreat.
Chu Yanli crossed her arms and lifted her chin, glancing at Chen Mo, "Now that it’s just the two of us, what do you plan to do?"
Based on past experiences, Chen Mo would likely back down, and she’d then seize the upper hand... but the upcoming scene froze her expression.
Chen Mo, without hesitation, removed his outer garnts and underwear, revealing a sculpted, muscular physique, with muscles chiseled like stone, wearing only a pair of shorts to barely cover his essentials.
"Now it’s Your Highness’s turn," Chen Mo said.
Chu Yanli’s throat moved, "My turn? What do you an?"
"Naturally, to undress, otherwise how do we proceed?" Chen Mo stepped forward and said word by word, "Or do you want , as your ’concubine,’ to help you undress?"
The strong male aura was surpassingly aggressive, and Chu Yanli inexplicably felt a pang of anxiety, retreating two steps involuntarily.
Though she often jested about having a concubine, it was rely a ruse to win over Chen Mo, without seriously considering what it truly ant.
Could it be that she really has to with him...
Seeing her lower her head in silence, Chen Mo calmly said, "It seems Your Highness isn’t prepared, so please refrain from such talk in the future. You’re not interested in , and the sa goes for ; it’s better we keep our distance."
