Chapter 399 Refusal to Marry!
Qin Yun Chu's face turned deathly pale. She moved her lips and looked at Yan Wei.
She hoped Yan Wei would respond.
However, Yan Wei did not react at all, and did not even look at her, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Qin Yunchu was filled with disappointment.
"Miss Qin."
As Qin Yunchu pondered, Emperor Changlong spoke up, "Are you willing to marry Prince Li?"
Emperor Changlong was always enlightened. Even if it was his own son, he would not bestow a marriage without asking any questions, lest he harm someone else's daughter.
No one suspected Emperor Changlong's actions.
However, what they didn't know was that Emperor Changlong would never allow Shen Xuan to marry Qin Yun Chu.
He will not allow Shen Xuan to receive any assistance that would threaten Shen Pei's position.
Qin Yun Chu stood up, took a step forward, and knelt down. "Your Majesty, this subject is unwilling."
"Why?" Emperor Changlong breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had to ask aloud.
"I already have someone I love," Qin Yun Chu said.
Marriage has always been a matter of parental arrangement and matchmaker's words.
As soon as she said this, people whispered among themselves, speculating about who her sweetheart was.
Her actions undoubtedly led her to a dead end.
Unless her future sweetheart marries her, she will have reservations no matter who marries her.
What man can tolerate his woman having feelings for another man?
Qin Yun Chu didn't look at Yan Wei; she didn't want to burden him.
"Oh?" Emperor Changlong smiled slightly. "I wonder who Miss Qin's beloved is? Such a perfect match is surely a gift from heaven."
He wanted to take the initiative to bestow a marriage upon Qin Yun Chu, which puzzled everyone. When did Qin Yun Chu become so favored by the emperor?
Emperor Changlong continued, "I remember you were the Crown Princess's prized student. When the Crown Princess was assassinated, you performed meritorious service by protecting the Crown Princess and the Imperial Grandson. This reward is well-deserved."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that it was because of Song Siyao.
"Your Majesty, I thank you greatly." Qin Yun Chu looked at Emperor Changlong. "Your Majesty, you promised me a wish back then. I wonder if it still stands?"
“Of course,” Emperor Changlong said.
"This humble woman does not wish to marry Prince Li, and begs Your Majesty to grant her wish." After Qin Yun Chu finished speaking, she kowtowed heavily to the ground.
Emperor Changlong understood that Qin Yun Chu wanted to refuse the marriage, but she also didn't want to reveal her beloved.
His promise was worth a thousand pieces of gold, and Qin Yun Chu used it up just like that.
"I agree," Emperor Changlong said calmly. "Get up."
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your great kindness." Qin Yun Chu bowed deeply again.
Emperor Changlong turned his gaze to Shen Xuan, "Prince Li, Miss Qin is not a good match for you. You should find another suitable match. I will bestow a marriage upon you."
Shen Xuan dared not disobey, "Yes, Father."
He lowered his head, his heart filled with anger. Even if Qin Yun Chu was unwilling, he had already spoken up. He was the son of Emperor Changlong, and Emperor Changlong should have directly granted them a marriage instead of asking all sorts of questions.
If Qin Yun Chu were willing, there would be no need for him to ask Emperor Changlong to grant him a marriage.
However, he dared not speak out against his anger.
Consort De's face was extremely cold. If it weren't for the many people present, she would have attacked Qin Yun Chu on the spot.
what?
Her son is an exceptional man, the son of the emperor, the dignified Prince Li. What kind of woman couldn't he have? How dare Qin Yun Chu refuse her son?!
Moreover, it was an open refusal!
This is utterly disrespectful to them, mother and son!
She knew that Qin Yun Chu's talk of her sweetheart was just an excuse; she simply didn't want to marry Shen Xuan.
Ha, your sweetheart, is that it? With me around, you'll never be able to be with your sweetheart.
A hint of hatred flashed in Consort De's eyes.
Qin Yun Chu didn't see it, but Song Si Yao did. Was she going to harm her student?
They're tired of living!
