The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1290

Having guessed this would happen, the eldest princess was not particularly angry. "I know what you might be doubting right now, so I won't be angry. I can give you another chance. I hope you will think it over carefully."

If Xu Tianzhen were so easy to agree to, she wouldn't have needed to come to him in person.

There was no other way; that good-for-nothing failed, so he had to take action himself.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Tian refused without even thinking: "Even if the princess asks me hundreds or thousands of times, I still will not agree."

He won't change easily.

“You…” The princess was furious, never expecting Xu Tian to be so stubborn.

The last vestiges of goodwill vanished instantly. The princess pointed at Xu Tian, ​​wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.

"Your Highness, I still have a few words of advice for you. He's not so easy to deal with. You should be careful and not give yourself any leverage." To express his apology, Xu Tian offered the princess a few words of advice.

He said that since things had already gone this far, there was nothing he could do if the princess wouldn't listen.

"Are you really that unwilling to agree to my request?" The princess's voice trembled slightly.

It has to be said that Xu Tian is really hard to persuade.

"I don't want to." Xu Tian didn't even bother to come up with a reason for himself.

Clenching her teeth, the princess instantly flew into a rage. She couldn't help but curse Xu Tian a few times before storming off in a huff.

With no change in expression, Xu Tian quickly returned to the Cuju (ancient Chinese football) match.

He just thought it was the princess being willful and didn't think much of it. Anyway, the princess probably wouldn't ask him to do anything later.

"My lord, you're finally back. I just noticed that the prince looks terrible; it seems he's been searching for you the whole time." Shen Qing approached Xu Tian and reminded him shortly after he returned.

Xu Tian hummed in agreement and picked up the teacup on the table: "After all, I'm the one who made him this way, so it's normal for him to be very dissatisfied with me now. But he wouldn't dare to do anything to me, so don't worry."

With all the ministers still present, King Yinglan could only feel angry inside.

"What did the Princess just say to you?" Shen Qing asked, puzzled.

He had a feeling that something bad was going on, which made him even more eager to find out.

Xu Tian glared at Shen Qing, annoyed, and put down his cup. "Don't ask things you shouldn't ask. Just focus on doing your job."

He hadn't expected Shen Qing to be so meddlesome at times, wanting to know everything.

There are too many things to hide; how could he possibly reveal them all?

Realizing that something was wrong, Shen Qing quickly lowered her head and dared not speak.

"You can go about your own business first. I have Cheng Wubin protecting me here, nothing will happen." Realizing that his attitude just now wasn't particularly good, Xu Tian quickly reminded him.

Shen Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the order and immediately left the place.

Xu Tian was about to glance at King Yinglan when he found the king glaring at him. He wasn't afraid of King Yinglan; instead, he glared back.

The two stared at each other for a long time before King Yinglan finally looked away.

The Cuju match went very smoothly.

The ministers gradually became agitated and paid no attention to anything else.

They also failed to detect any movement from Xu Tian and King Yinglan.
