Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

"It's them. I wonder what kind of tricks they're up to this time."

Brother-in-law, you'll have to help me deal with them later.

Hearing her words, Su Liang slowly turned his gaze to Wu Chen.

Then he was seen walking towards Jun Ruoxue, surrounded by the crowd.

"Your Highness, today is your birthday. I am not very talented, but I have prepared a poem to express my gratitude!"

After bowing, Wu Chen noticed Jun Ruoxue and Su Liang's intimate behavior of whispering to each other.

I didn't pay any attention to him at all!

His brow furrowed as he glanced at Su Liang's body, and he immediately guessed Su Liang's identity.

He had heard about what happened at the state banquet, but he didn't expect that Su Liang would ruin the atmosphere at this moment.

So, with a smile on his face, he recited his love poem.

"When flowers bloom, leaves are visible; when leaves grow, flowers are visible. Flowers and leaves grow together, accompanying each other, and their story will be passed down through generations."

Having said that, he took a step forward.

"Princess, Wu Chen has admired you for some time now, and today I dare to express my love to you. I hope you will... agree!"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room erupted in uproar...

I confessed my feelings!

That's not all; it's as if they had been preparing for this all along.

Those who lagged behind also stepped forward and showered Jun Ruoxue with compliments.

"Little princess, what do you think of this love poem? For you, the great scholar prepared for a whole month, writing forty-nine poems."

"It is truly a great blessing in the life of the little princess to have found such a devoted man!"

"..."

After everyone's words, Wu Chen smiled broadly, and with that smile, he looked in Su Liang's direction.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Wu Chen's eyes seemed to be filled with provocation towards Su Liang.

Yes, he really is a child.

Su Liang smiled lightly, not taking it to heart at all.

But Jun Ruoxue can't!

Under pressure from everyone, she tugged at Su Liang's sleeve, clearly urging him to act quickly.

Feeling her gaze, everyone else followed suit, including several who were unaware of Su Liang's identity, and immediately questioned him.

"Who is this person, and why is he standing beside the little princess?"

"He doesn't seem to have any noble status. In this capital city, how many prominent figures don't we know?"

"He seems to be Su Liang, the eldest princess's consort."

Upon hearing this, the cacophony of voices immediately fell silent.

Su Liang!?

Not long ago, he killed Yin Yang Daozi, becoming a peerless genius whose name resounded throughout the world.

Don't you recognize me?

This only shows that you yourselves are of lowly status!

After all, in the previous battles, many talented individuals were not qualified to enter, so they naturally did not get to see Su Liang's face.

But why is he here, and so intimate with the little princess?

Right at this moment.

Wu Chen cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Su Liang, offering his own answer to the crowd's questions.

"Wu Chen greets Young Master Su. Today, at the little princess's birthday banquet, Young Master Su's presence as her brother-in-law naturally represents the eldest princess."

"Mine, right?"

Those few words instantly eliminated any possibility of Su Liang taking the bullet for himself.

To open one's mouth would be to be disloyal to the emperor and to show contempt for the entire Qin royal family!

After Wu Chen finished speaking, the young masters behind him nodded repeatedly.

Then, he casually glanced at Jun Ruoxue.

"Little princess, could you please give a response to my previous suggestion?"

"Brother-in-law..."

Jun Ruoxue did not answer, but continued to stare at Su Liang, as if to say that she would not speak unless he did.

This caught Wu Chen's eye, and a hint of jealousy immediately surfaced within him.

"Does the little princess's love life really need to be decided by Young Master Su?"

Or rather, did Young Master Su force the little princess to make a decision?

"Isn't this going too far?"

These words were nothing short of a blatant provocation.

But ironically, everyone present understood that Wu Chen's words were irrefutable and could not be refuted.

The little princess could have just refused directly, so why was she hesitating?

What is she planning?

Immediately following.

Faced with Wu Chen's unusually aggressive demeanor, the audience whispered among themselves.

"What's wrong with Young Master Wu today?"

You still don't know

"Right? His older brother blocked someone's path, was severely injured, and had to personally apologize and admit his mistake."

"That's him!"

"So, it's time to settle both old and new scores together?"

Su Liang raised an eyebrow as he listened to the hushed whispers.

He finally understood why Wu Chen had looked at him so strangely before.

Your brother insisted that I kick him, and you want to do the same?

I just want to be a good person who doesn't fight with the world!

however.

Unfortunately, sitting next to him was a girl with a pink face but a dark side who seemed to enjoy stirring up trouble.

"Since you, brother-in-law, are unwilling to help, then don't blame your sister-in-law for being impolite."

After saying that, under Su Liang's questioning gaze, she retorted as if sharing a common enemy.

"Hmph, what's wrong with my brother-in-law beating up some Tom, Dick, or Harry?"

"Let me tell you, my brother-in-law is not only incredibly talented, but he can also compose poetry and has a super sweet tongue!"

"Your poem is completely incomparable to what he said."

In an instant, Su Liang knew things were about to go wrong.

Because this brat not only talked about it, but also boldly grabbed Su Liang's arm, practically wanting to press her body against him.

If you still can't see it, then everyone here is truly blind!

"The little princess's crush... is actually... her brother-in-law!?"

"You beast!"

In an instant, everyone present became extremely unwell.

The eldest princess, the most beautiful woman in Qin, is already engaged to you. Not only are you not satisfied, but now you even want to make a move on the younger princess.

Judging from this, it seems like it's a done deal?

That's just sooooo...so enviable!

Similarly, Wu Chen's face was extremely gloomy, never expecting such an outcome.

He seemed not to hear, selectively asking questions.

"Oh? Young Master Su can compose poetry?"

"If that's the case, Wu Chen really needs to learn a thing or two from you."

Before Su Liang could speak, Jun Ruoxue took the initiative to continue the conversation.

"Seeking advice isn't about teaching you, it's about making you understand that there's always someone better than you."

"Crack!"

Wu Chen clenched his fingers tightly and said in a deep voice,

"Since you're so confident, would you dare to make a bet with me?"

“Compare your poems with mine. If your poems surpass mine, Wu Chen will kneel before you and admit his previous slip of the tongue.”

If not—

Jun Ruoxue spoke first,

"Hmph, my brother-in-law said that if I can't do what I want with him, I'll let you do whatever you want with me."

"really!?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chen and the others were both shocked by Jun Ruoxue's confidence and eagerly anticipating the bet.
