Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

"This old minister greets Your Highness."

The prime minister narrowed his eyes, remaining expressionless, and asked, "What brings Your Highness here?"

Princess Chengyi brushed a strand of hair through her fingers, her expression languid, and glanced at him.

"That's a question I should be asking. Why is the Prime Minister acting so arrogantly at the Marquis Yin's residence so early in the morning?"

The prime minister bowed slightly, frowned, and said, "This old minister..."

"Yan'er..."

Cheng Yi didn't wait for his reply, her phoenix eyes turning to Gu Jinyan, "You sneaked out last night, do you know how worried Mother was?"

The prime minister's face turned slightly awkward.

The only one who dared to be so arrogant and disrespectful in front of him, a man who had served two dynasties, was this current princess!

She was different from the emperor's other princes.

There's no need for open or covert struggles for the throne, nor for getting involved in the court factions' life-or-death battles.

The Emperor and Empress's only wish for her was that she live a peaceful, healthy, and prosperous life.

"Your subject greets Mother."

Gu Jinyan looked up at Princess Chengyi on the palanquin and said slowly,

"What are you saying, Mother? This is clearly my own residence. How can my going in and out be considered sneaking away?"

Cheng Yi raised her slender finger and poked his forehead, saying with exasperation, "You're such a disappointment."

"Don't think I don't know, you... Never mind, I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"

Gu Jinyan raised an eyebrow.

"Mother, please return to the residence first. I still have matters to attend to."

"For her?"

Princess Chengyi's cold gaze swept over Yin Liuli, her tone unfriendly, "Miss Yin, what urgent matter do you have that you dare to order my son around all night for you?"

Yin Liuli glanced at her indifferently.

"It's very important."

"Mother, you're probably blaming the wrong person. Last night, it was I who went to find Liuli."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Jinyan blocked her way, saying arrogantly, "If Mother doesn't believe me, you can ask the Prime Minister. I chased her all night before I finally caught up with her."

Princess Chengyi's face darkened.

"you……"

"Your Highness, this old minister can testify."

The prime minister subtly curled his lips and said loudly, "Last night, the young master rode out of the city to catch up with the female assistant, which surprised even this old minister."

Princess Chengyi immediately lost face and said angrily,

"I don't know what kind of evil tricks you used to manipulate my son so easily!"

Let me tell you, as long as I live, you can forget about marrying into my princess's household!

Yin Liuli blinked her clear eyes.

"Your Highness is overthinking it. Liuli has never considered entering the Princess's residence..."

"Liuli!"

Gu Jinyan's heart tightened immediately, and he grabbed Yin Liuli's wrist.

His mother had repeatedly caused trouble for Yin Liuli, and he was afraid that the girl would lose her temper and say something that would sever all ties with him.

Yin Liuli glanced at him indifferently and spoke.

"I will open a new door and let Gu Jinyan in."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone stared at her in astonishment.

As a woman, no one has ever dared to say such outrageous and bold words!

What does it mean to open a new door?

Does she expect Gu Jinyan, a dignified young master, to marry into her family?

"Liuli!"

Gu Jinyan's heart felt like it was burning with fire, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently, "I didn't expect that you, you..."

Princess Chengyi was furious.

"Yin Liuli, do you even know how to write the word 'shame'?"

How could you utter such shameless words? Do you want my son to marry into your family?!

Yin Liuli was too lazy to say more, and raised an eyebrow.

"If Gu Jinyan is willing, it's not impossible..."

"Big sister, how can you, as a woman, say such shameless things!"

Yin Yuzhu echoed Cheng Yi's words, feigning surprise, "You...you've left the Yin Marquis's mansion, and Father's face, in all places!"

Yin Liuli gave her a cold glance.

"What's it to you!"

Yin Yuzhu looked at Princess Chengyi with a wronged expression.

Yin Liuli frowned unconsciously. When did she become attached to Princess Chengyi?

"presumptuous!"

Cheng Yi slammed her hand heavily on the chair and roared, "Guards! Yin Liuli has disrespected me and spoken rudely to me. Drag this shameless person away and give her one hundred strokes of the cane!"

"Let's see who dares!"

Gu Jinyan gave a cold shout, shoved aside the servant who stepped forward to grab her, and stood in front of Yin Liuli.

Cheng Yi's face was filled with cold anger. "Yan'er, get out of the way!"

Gu Jinyan raised an eyebrow. "Mother, are you really going to punish Liuli with a cane?"

"So what if I am? Are you going to publicly oppose your mother again for this nonsensical woman?"

Princess Chengyi gritted her teeth and said, "Don't forget, you're my son!"

"Your subject dares not."

Gu Jinyan gave a nonchalant hum, bowed, and said...

"Liuli did not mean to contradict Mother; it is all my fault."

"Mother, if you want to punish me, then punish me. A hundred strokes aren't enough to vent your anger, so I'll ask for another hundred strokes myself, shall I?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and lifted his robe, revealing his pale yellow satin trousers to everyone.

Many of the servants and nannies present were so frightened that they covered their faces and turned their heads away, not daring to look.

"ah!"

"Young Master, it is impolite to lift your robe in public. Please put it down..."

……

A smile involuntarily crept onto Yin Liuli's face.

I never expected him to pull this stunt; he was clearly using it to threaten his mother.

No wonder there are rumors in the capital that he is misbehaving and neglecting his duties; it seems there is some truth to it.

Princess Chengyi's face immediately turned ashen, filled with both anxiety and anger. She slammed her hand on the chair and shouted.

"What kind of talk is this! Put it down, put it down!"

Gu Jinyan persisted,

"If Mother doesn't hit me, I won't be able to calm down. But if Mother does hit me, I can't bear to let Liuli suffer."

"Whether it's right or wrong, it's all my fault. I'm willing to accept the punishment!"

"Yan'er! It's one thing for you to cause trouble on ordinary days, but do you really want to embarrass your mother in front of so many people!"

Princess Chengyi retorted angrily, "You are a member of the royal family of the Great Chang Dynasty, the heir apparent! Who taught you to be so arrogant and unruly?!"

Gu Jinyan said righteously,

"A son takes after his mother."

Cheng Yi was suddenly stunned, her eyes reddened, and she almost cried from anger.

Seeing that the stalemate was not resolved, Gu Jinyan simply moved his hand to his belt.

"Should Mother continue to hit him?"

Everyone thought he was going to take his pants off again, and they quickly turned their heads away and covered their eyes in fright.

Yin Liuli almost burst out laughing.

I never expected Gu Jinyan to be so much fun.

"Your Highness, please allow me to say something."

The prime minister found it very satisfying to watch, but seeing that both sides remained adamant, he stepped forward and said...

"Yin Liuli was appointed by the Emperor as the Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, a fourth-rank official in the imperial court."

Your Highness cannot lay a hand on her without obtaining an imperial decree.

"I hope Your Highness will calm down. You can discuss this calmly with the Young Master when you return."

Princess Chengyi had no choice but to use this opportunity to speak coldly, as she could no longer afford to argue with this devil, Gu Jinyan.

"Fine, I won't waste any more words with you! Yan'er, get back to your residence!"
