Chapter 138

Housekeeper Xu was secretly cursing his bad luck. His highness had actually thrown this kind of hot potato to him, but he did not dare not accept it.

He had seen Chen Ning once in Chu Shao Yang's wedding hall. With his many years of experience in the palace, he quickly determined that this princess consort was not someone to mess with. She was completely different from the rumoured idiot.

Thinking about it, he ordered the servants to prepare a soft sedan and then went to the wooden hut.

Chu Shao Yang's clothes were elegant as he respectfully stood in front of his door, waiting to welcome the eldest princess.

Speaking of the eldest princess, she was someone he could not mess with. She was a large character that gave him a headache.

She was the blood sister of the West Chu emperor and Chu Shao Yang's blood related aunt.

In terms of age, she was only two-three years older than Chu Shao Yang, but her seniority was higher than his by an entire generation. In front of her, even the proud Chu Shao Yang had to lower his noble head and respectfully call her royal aunt.

Her title was An Le, meaning peace and happiness, but this Eldest Princess An Le was both restless and not happy.

She had a fiery temper and liked to play with blades. She practiced martial arts for many years and had actually learned a good set of martial arts. Even three to five of the palace guards were not her match.

Her dream was to one day carry a spear on a horse and sweep across the battlefield. She wore men's clothes all year round and never left her body.

But when she was twenty three years old, she still had not gotten married.

It wasn't that no one had proposed to her. It was unknown how many people wanted to climb up to this golden phoenix, but she did not like any of them.

The current emperor was her blood related brother and loved his little sister very much. He had personally given her the title of Eldest Princess An Le and had tried to arrange a marriage for her several times, but she had always rejected him.

She had the personality of a man, so how could she lower herself to marry a weak scholar that couldn't even beat her? Moreover, she would have to serve him for a lifetime, it was simply a joke!

She did not even put the current martial scholar in her eyes. She thought that he had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, just like a big black bear.

The emperor was helpless and could only let her do as she pleased.

But this kind of ill-fated fate existed in this world. When she was twenty years old, the arrogant Eldest Princess An Le had accidentally saved a beautiful young girl that was being harassed by a bully.

She never would have thought that the beautiful girl she saved wasn't a girl at all, but rather a handsome man that looked like a good girl. She fell in love with this handsome man at first sight and without saying a word, she brought this handsome man back to the Eldest Princess Palace and forced them to marry.

The handsome man had just escaped and now he was met with another calamity.

He was also a stubborn person. He swore he wouldn't obey the eldest princess, so he bit his tongue to commit suicide.

The eldest princess liked him to the extreme. She didn't dare force him, so she imprisoned him in her palace. She tried to find a way to make him like her, but the beautiful man was as cold as ice and ignored her.

It wasn't until Marquis Xuan Wu angrily came looking for him that the Eldest Princess found out that the handsome man she stole was the second son of Marquis Xuan Wu. His name was Ye Ting Xuan and he was a famous scholar in the capital.

She watched reluctantly as Ye Ting Xuan left with his father, his expression determined, not even turning back.

The emperor sent several decrees to betroth her to Ye Ting Xuan, but Ye Ting Xuan refused each time. He made a heavy vow that if the eldest princess continued to force him, he would die!
