My Devil Emperor
Refusal

"Your Majesty, my daughter, what do you think?"

"Dad!" whispered Liang Rong while pulling his father's sleeve.

The room felt a little tense after the question from King Liang came out.

Who doesn't understand what that means?

ZiXuan smiled faintly and replied, "Princess Liang is very kind and virtuous. Very gentle character."

Hearing the praise directly from the man she liked, of course Princess Liang blushed in embarrassment.

King Liang laughed with pride on his face. "He was raised with affection and strict royal rules. Although he was a little spoiled sometimes, he was still reliable. He— might also be able to help His Majesty the Empress to set the hareem forward," he said with a hint of courage as he said the last sentence.

"Yes, you're right. The man who married her would definitely be very lucky."

"Your Majesty—"

ZiXuan smiled politely and raised his palm. "I understand. In addition—" He turned his head towards the door and continued, "My wife, will you just stand outside?" his question made the King, Queen and Princess of Liang Kingdom turn their heads at the same time. But, there's no one there.

In another corner, Yuan who had been joking and looking down raised his eyes in shock there. How did the man know he was here? He felt confident that he did not make the slightest sound.

Yuan cleared his throat slowly before finally stepping inside.

He bowed in salute to ZiXuan.

"Searching?" ask the man directly.

"Yes, but it seems like I came at an inopportune moment. No problem, Your Majesty can finish his affairs first, I can wait."

Yuan was about to retreat but ZiXuan stopped him by saying, "I'm almost done. Go along."

The woman silently complied and stood beside him.

ZiXuan looked back at King Liang. "I can't marry Princess Liang, other than not wanting to, I think I'm also quite an emotional person. I can't see my beloved wife crying sadly because I married another girl, can I, my wife?" ask her with a face made of sand.

Yuan looked at the man with a hard to interpret look. If it wasn't because there was someone else in front of him, he would have long since kicked ZiXuan's leg.

"I know, you're embarrassed to say it. It's okay," he said again as he rubbed the top of Yuan's head.

"He was a bit shy. If there's nothing to talk about anymore, my wife and I will leave. King and Queen Liang, please rest comfortably."

There was a disappointed look in King Liang's eyes over ZiXuan's refusal. He smiled wryly and bowed. "Thank you, Your Majesty. We'll rest and be back tomorrow."

"Oh? So soon?"

"I have a pending affair at my residence."

"All right."

Liang Rong looked at ZiXuan dissatisfied. He even boldly looked at her sharply. "I can be better than the Empress," he said, which made the King and Queen Liang who had walked first immediately turn around.

King Liang immediately walked up to his daughter and pulled her hand while saying, "What are you doing!"

"I told you, I could be better than your queen, give me a chance."

ZiXuan raised his eyebrows before letting out a smile. "A person who is born a twin cannot be a twin. You say so, I'm becoming more and more disliked you. I don't like someone—who's become someone else" he said with a glance at Yuan.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for the sassness of the servant's daughter. Let's go!" This time, King Liang actually managed to drag his daughter out of there.

Yuan turned to face ZiXuan. "You don't like someone who's become someone else?"

"Why? Are you not Zhou YanLi?"

Yuan was speechless, confused as to what.

ZiXuan laughed softly and flicked his sleeves. "Don't be too serious. I was just kidding when I said it" he said as he walked ahead of the woman.

"What if I'm not YanLi?" that question made ZiXuan stop his steps.

The man looked. "Don't know. Clearly, you in front of me are mine," he replied in affirmation.

"Oh, don't you want to say something?" tanya ZiXuan reminded.

"Have you had dinner?"

Yuan nodded doubtfully. He had already eaten, but did not finish it because of the rush to get here.

"Come on," he asked as he stepped back. Two steps later, he stopped and turned around.

"Do you need help?"

Yuan hurriedly shook his head. Face blushed. "No. No need."

ZiXuan simply nodded and walked back. This time he walked slowly adjusting his female steps.

He brought Yuan back to his room.

"Ah, actually Yunniang has prepared dinner for me, but I haven't finished it yet. I'm—aku just come back," Yuan said nervously.

"No problem. I'll have the waiter move your food here. We ate together." Without waiting for Yuan to say his objection again, the man hurriedly walked out from there.

Yuan exhaled a sigh of resignation. He was a little nervous when he was in this room again. The shadow was too clear and disturbed his mind.

Not too long ago, some of the servants entered to bring food that seemed to have been warmed back.

All the servants came out and ZiXuan entered. He closed the door slowly and walked over.

"Why are you looking down from earlier?" he asked when he saw the strange behavior of the beautiful woman.

"Is there? No," replied Yuan denying.

He held his breath when suddenly my man approached and touched his neck.

"You—what are you doing?"

"Are you sick? Your face is so red" he said, feeling the woman's body temperature.

Yuan brushed his hand slowly. "I'm fine!" He lowered his head and held his chopsticks, feeding food into his mouth.

ZiXuan simply put his shoulders together and sat down in front of Yuan.

The woman glanced at him and was stunned. "You hurt?"

ZiXuan lowered his sleeves and said, "Only a small wound. A rat bit him."

Yuan frowned. "How can there be rats in your room? Have you done it right? Otherwise it'll be an infection."

ZiXuan. "Don't know. Don't worry, it's been treated. Continue your dinner."

Yuan complied and refocused on his food, whereas ZiXuan was deep in thought while staring at the wounds he had on hand.

"Oh yes, why did you reject the proposal from the Liang kingdom? don't you think Princess Liang is beautiful?"

"Finish your food first, just talk."

Yuan put down his chopsticks and looked at the man innocently. "I'm done."

"Are you very curious?"

The woman nodded in spirit. "Tell me!"

ZiXuan smiled obliquely. "In your own opinion, are your qualifications far below it?"

Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "Don't know, but I think I'm better than him."

"Do you expect me to take her as a concubine?"

Yuan shook his head. "No. Don't we have an agreement?"

"Then why are you asking as if you want me to marry her?"

Yuan scowled in annoyance. "I'm just curious! can't you?"

"Stupid!"
