On the second day of August, the Crown Prince submitted a request, proposing the Duke Yan Mansion's second daughter as the Crown Prince Consort.
That day, His Majesty summoned Duke Yan for an inquiry, to which the latter straightforwardly replied, "My daughter is spoiled and headstrong, not a suitable match for the Crown Prince."
The term "spoiled" might be derogatory to others, but to Duke Yan, it wasn't even a modest understatement.
The refusal was given without sparing any face for the Crown Prince, without even glancing at the Crown Prince standing beside the Emperor's throne.
"Rumors are circulating that the Crown Prince wants to marry Xiao Bai to keep her by his side, to exact revenge for the humiliation he suffered in the past," Tang Ziqian shook his head with amusement, "Which of them ever saw Xiao Bai humiliate and abuse Li Mu?"
His little sister was clearly kinder to Li Mu than to him!
"But now, it seems we've torn faces with the Eastern Palace," Tang Ziqian remarked.
