Chu Yi smiled gently and directly ordered them to leave. “If you don’t want to watch the show, please leave.”

...

After a moment of silence, Chu You smiled instead of being angry. However, the smile didn’t reach his eyes. His pupils were dark and cold.

“Third Prince Baili.” Chu You raised his eyebrows and smiled at Baili Yin regretfully. “Your country is sincere in the marriage alliance. Unfortunately, my nephew already has someone he likes. I’m afraid he won’t be able to marry your country’s princess.”

“But the Eldest Princess should be coming of age soon. She’s very compatible with the Third Prince.”

Chu Yi had already rejected the princess. In that case, could he still refuse to marry the princess and bring her to the State of Jin?

The Eldest Princess was still young now, but people would grow up eventually, right? It would be about time in three or four years.

Chu You’s lips curled up slightly. He looked provocative, and his gaze was threatening.

However, Chu Yi’s expression didn’t change, and he said casually, “Emperor Taizu said that women in the Great Jin would never have a political marriage.”

More than 50 years ago, the dynasty had just been established. The situation was unstable, and there were many things to do. However, the people of the Northern Barbarians were restless, causing wars at the border from time to time.

Back in those days, there was a civil official who proposed during the morning court that they could follow the previous dynasty’s practice of sending a princess to the Northern Barbarians for a political marriage. With a solemn air, he declared that many brave men had fought and died on the battlefield for the country and its people, with their bodies wrapped in horsehide. He argued that this woman should also sacrifice herself for the rise and fall of the nation, as one political marriage could protect thousands upon thousands of people in the Great Jin from the ravages of war. It was a case of sacrificing the small for the greater good.

At that moment, Emperor Taizu pointed at the man and angrily berated him. He criticized those men who claimed to follow the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, emphasizing filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, and integrity. He questioned their demand for women to stay confined within their chambers, not venturing beyond the inner or outer doors, solely to fulfill the roles of wives and mothers. Now, they were asking these women to sacrifice themselves for the country. He questioned the purpose of men if women were already fulfilling the duties of wife and mother. If women were already educating their husbands and children, then shouldn’t their husbands and sons also sacrifice themselves for the country? Were they just living off their wives’ efforts without contributing anything themselves?

Emperor Taizu’s words were just short of directly calling out the civil official who suggested the marriage that he was a useless person who only knew how to eat and not do anything. He was so embarrassed that he almost crashed into the pillar.

This matter was also recorded in the ‘Emperor Taizu’s Living Note’.

Chu You naturally knew what Emperor Taizu said, but…

“How can the rules in this world be unchanged?” Chu You said with a faint smile.

Emperor Taizu also hoped that the late emperor wouldn’t marry a daughter from an aristocratic family, but he still married her.

Emperor Taizu once said that being a hostage was a great shame, yet Chu Yi served as a hostage for eight years regardless.

This court wasn’t just the emperor’s court.

Clap! Clap!

Chu Yi clapped twice.

Soon, the waiter came over and asked with a smile, “Sir, what can 1 do for you?”

“Invite these three distinguished guests out,” Chu Yi instructed the waiter.

“…” Chu You’s eyelashes twitched and he looked angry. He couldn’t afford to lose face like this.

He had already achieved his goal today. There was no point in staying any longer.

Chu You stood up with a cold expression. When he faced Baili Yin, his tone was still polite. “Third Prince Baili, let’s go.”

Baili Yin stood up slowly and cupped his hands at Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei.

“See you again.”

His movements and voice seemed calm, but his wandering gaze drifted to another person present.

Baili Yin followed closely behind Chu You and left. When he walked out of the door, he couldn’t help but take one last look at the young man in red. His eyes were filled with doubt.

After Yuan Zhe left, the door was closed. Only Chu Yi, Gu Yanfei, and Xia Houqing were left in the elegant seat. However, there was a saber left behind by Wang Nan on the ground.

Gu Yanfei held her chin and stared at Xia Houqing. There was no longer any impatience on her face.

The tense atmosphere in the air disappeared as the uninvited guests left.

The string music below slowed from anxious to relaxed and happy. The sound rose like countless birds singing in unison.

Gu Yanfei seemed to have thought of something and smiled. There seemed to be dazzling stars circulating in her eyes. She gloated and leaned over to whisper into Chu Yi’s ear, “Baili Yin is dead for sure.”

He dared to tease Xia Houqing in front of him. He was really courting death!

Chu Yi nodded seriously and put his ear to her ear. He smiled and agreed. “Indeed.”

“I don’t think he’ll live past three days,” he said gently.

The two of them seemed to be whispering to each other, but they didn’t deliberately lower their voices at all. It was obvious that they were talking to each other on purpose.

Just like how the two of them chased Kang Wang and the others away.

“…” Xia Houqing’s face turned green. He clenched the cup in his hand so tightly that it was about to shatter.

His bewitching phoenix eyes were as cold as a blade, ruthlessly scraping Gu Yanfei and Chu Yi’s faces.

Gu Yanfei looked at the surging blood-red luck around him in amazement. It was so ostentatious that it almost turned the entire private room red.

“How good-looking!” Gu Yanfei sighed from the bottom of her heart, her eyes sparkling.

In Xia Houqing’s eyes, her current gaze was no different from the stupid cat she usually looked at. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly. He couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Scram.”

Gu Yanfei wasn’t afraid either and chuckled happily.

A bright smile appeared on her exquisite face.

Xia Houqing was speechless.

He was stunned.

He could feel the malice of others, even if it was just a trace.

No one had ever treated him like Gu Yanfei. She wasn’t afraid of him, she didn’t hate him, and she didn’t respect him… She treated him casually and without any motives

A demonic shadow flashed across Xia Houqing’s eyes, as if he had recalled something.

In his life, people had always used each other.

However, he couldn’t see that ugly emotion in Gu Yanfei. The girl in front of him was worthy of the words “glorious wind and clear moon”.

She was completely different from him.

However, she had clearly fallen into a dirty quagmire since she was born. Just like him, she had been used and schemed against since she was born.

Xia Houqing was at a loss for a moment…

This made his aura look different from usual, but it was only for a short moment. Soon, he was the invulnerable Xia Houqing again.

Chu Yi:”…”

Chu Yi slowly turned Gu Yanfei’s slender shoulders around so that her face was facing him.

“I’m very good-looking too,” Chu Yi said seriously.

His gaze held hers. They were no more than three inches apart, so close they could feel each other’s breath.

“…” Xia Houqing’s lips twitched.

Sure enough, Gu Yanfei stared at Chu Yi without blinking.

The young man’s face was like jade and was difficult to draw.

Good-looking, he was really good-looking!

Gu Yanfei suddenly remembered that Eldest Senior Sister had once told her that it was useless no matter how good-looking a man was. Finding a Dao companion still depended on character and personality.

However, she felt that Eldest Senior Sister was wrong. It was important to be good-looking.

Chu Yi was satisfied and smiled.

The atmosphere in the private room was a little soft and charming..
