The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Shaodian Ziqing didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, but rather felt that what she said was more practical.

However, fearing that Chi Haoyu would be too sad, she calmed down, and wanted to wipe away the tears from his cheeks while comforting him.

"Chi Haoyu, I don't have a husband yet. If you want to marry into the royal family, I can marry you."

Chi Haoyu waved her hand away, took a step back, and kept a distance from her.

She referred to herself as "I" at the end. Chi Haoyu didn't notice anything unusual. He just felt that it was chilling for her to say such words in his mind.

She actually said that if he wanted to marry into the royal family, she could marry him?

What did she think of him, a man who clung to the powerful?

Chi Haoyu tried hard to calm himself down, and it took him a long while to relieve the grievance and anger in his heart. He glared at Shaodian Ziqing and spoke word by word.

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself. It is my mother and father's order and the matchmaker's words. Who a minister marries is entirely decided by my mother and father."

"As long as my mother and father are still alive, Your Highness, even though you are the princess of the Great Zhou, cannot rule over me."

"Even if I don't have a mother or father, if I want to marry, I will marry a woman who respects and loves me. Obviously, Your Majesty is not a good match."

"Besides, I have never thought of marrying into the royal family. Not before, and not in the future."

Chi Haoyu used up all his strength to say these words, and after he finished speaking, he felt like a deflated ball.

He looked a little dazed and was shaking with heartache.

"I'm not a good match?"

Shaodian Ziqing stared at Chi Haoyu with clenched fists, anger in his eyes, and raised his hand to grab Chi Haoyu's arm.

"You said that I am not a good match, then who is? Is it Sixth Sister? Don't dream on your own. With your status, you are not worthy of Sixth Sister."

Shaodian Ziqing was not belittling him, nor was he angry, so he said that on purpose.

But for Shaodian Ziqing, there is no man in the world who is worthy of her sister.

She was just telling the truth, but it sounded different to Chi Haoyu.

Putting aside the fact that he didn't like the Sixth Prince, what was wrong with his status? How could he not be worthy of the Sixth Prince?

Chi Haoyu raised his head, with anger in his eyes.

"Yes, the Sixth Princess is the most beautiful woman in the world. I am not worthy of her."

Chi Haoyu started talking without thinking.

"But so what? I am devoted to the Sixth Princess. Even if I never marry in this lifetime, I will only be loyal to her."

Shaodian Ziqing looked slightly relieved. He held Chi Haoyu's hand tightly and then suddenly let go.

His words kept echoing in my mind. He said that he would only be loyal to Sixth Sister.

Her lips trembled as she thought of what her sixth sister had said.

＜There are many men in the world. I will not become enemies with my sister because of a man.＞

＜Whether it is my second sister, my fourth sister or the man you like, I will not snatch them away.＞

Shaodian Ziqing paused and said, "Yes, as long as sister doesn't like Chi Haoyu, it doesn't count as stealing him."

After speaking without thinking, Chi Haoyu felt a little regretful.

Why on earth was he talking nonsense to the prince? His expression was full of regret and he wanted to explain something.

But in the end, he opened his mouth but did not explain. He took a few steps back and bowed to Shaodian Ziqing.

"Your Majesty, I have been out for a long time. I am afraid that my mother and father will worry. I will take my leave now."

He turned and walked away quickly.

Shaodian Ziqing wanted to hold him, but he shook him off.

Looking at his departing back, Shaodian Ziqing followed him in anger.

Zhong Moyao, who had been secretly observing the place, looked at the two people walking towards them and grabbed Shaodian Sishui's sleeve and shook it.

"Your Highness, look quickly."

What to look at?

Shaodian Si Shui didn't understand why and hadn't paid any attention to Chi Haoyu and Qimei. After Zhong Moyao reminded her, she looked up at Chi Haoyu.

He strode towards her and bowed to her.

"Your Highness, I have something important to attend to at home, so I will leave first."

Shaodian Sishui hummed, "Please give my regards to Lord Chi on my behalf."

"Here."

Chi Haoyu responded, stood up, looked up, bowed to the Fourth Princess, the Fourth Princess' husband, and the Sixth Princess' husband one by one, and then left.

His face was pale and his eyes were still bloodshot.

Shaodian Sishui felt that Chi Haoyu was weird, his eyes were misty, as if he had been crying.

Because Chi Haoyu left in a hurry and because of the differences between men and women, Shaodian Si Shui did not ask him what happened.

Until Shaodian Ziqing came and bowed to pay his respects.

"Fourth sister, Sixth sister, I'm leaving first."

"Wait a minute."

Shaodian Sishui narrowed her eyes and called out to Shaodian Ziqing, but her gaze fell on Chi Haoyu's back.

She thought to herself, maybe the couple was having a quarrel. She knew better than anyone how much Chi Haoyu liked Shao Dian Ziqing.

Shaodian Ziqing looked at his sister, his body stiffened slightly, and he took a few steps forward to block his sister's sight.

"Sister."

Shaodian Sishui retracted her gaze and looked at Shaodian Ziqing for a few times, and found that her face looked as if someone owed her eight million.

"What's wrong with you? Did you have a quarrel with Chi Haoyu?"

Shaodian Ziqing lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "No."

It was obvious that she was the one being bullied.

"Not yet. Chi Haoyu's eyes are red from crying. If it wasn't you who made him cry, who else could it be? You are a grown woman, don't always bully a little man."

"I bullied him?"

Shaodian Sishui just said it casually, telling her to be careful and not bully Chi Haoyu if she likes him.

As a result, Shaodian Ziqing misunderstood and thought that Sixth Sister was in love with Chi Haoyu.

He instantly got furious and looked at her with both grievance and anger in his eyes.

"Sixth sister, when have I ever bullied him? Yes, all the men in Bianjing admire you. You don't bully men. You just need to beckon your finger and all the men will fall in love with you!"

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Shaodian Sishui to say anything else, she clasped her fists, bowed, snorted coldly, and strode away.

A few people were left looking at each other.

Shaodian Sheyu looked at Shaodian Sishui in confusion.

"What's going on? Did Seventh Sister take the wrong medicine?"

"who knows?"

Shaodian Sishui was speechless, with a look of disbelief on her face.

How would she know what happened?

She saw Chi Haoyu crying because of being with Shaodian Ziqing. She just asked Shaodian Ziqing to stop bullying others and be nicer to them?

Did she say something wrong?

Zhong Moyao comforted Shaodian Si Shui, gently patting her back with his big hands.

"Don't be angry, Your Highness. Seventh Sister may have spoken without thinking."

The four attendants looked at the backs of the two men who left one after the other and wondered, "Weren't they just chatting peacefully before? How come they fell out in the blink of an eye?"

"Hey, it's normal for young people to play around. Don't bother with them. Look at me. I hit a double-ear shot. I must win this time."

Shaodian Sheyu's emotions came and went quickly, he didn't care about them at all and focused entirely on the game of tossing pots.

The four attendants looked at her with disdain, then turned and bowed to Shaodian Si Shui.

"Sixth sister, you've been out for too long. Your fourth sister and I will go back first."

Shaodian Sishui hummed, "Okay."

Shaodian Sheyu was very dissatisfied. "If you want to leave, go by yourself. You haven't had enough fun yet. I finally won a game against Sixth Sister."

The four attendants stepped forward and grabbed Shaodian Sheyu's ears, gritting their teeth.

"go!"

Shaodian Sheyu cried out twice, "It hurts, it hurts, you pinched my ear again, in front of my sixth sister and her husband, where is my dignity? Let go, let go, I will walk by myself."
