"If there are stars tonight, I'll watch them with you~".
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's reply, Fan Ruoruo was overjoyed and said with anticipation: 1
"There will definitely be brilliant stars tonight."
Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly and said nothing more.
Thinking about how such a good thing had come to them, how could they not take advantage of it?
Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind:
[Ding!] 7
[Fan Ruoruo's romantic feelings were detected, triggering the check-in mechanism.] 1
[Have you checked in?] 0
Upon hearing the system notification, Chen Qingfeng was secretly surprised: "This works too?"
It's worth noting that Fan Ruoruo, as an important character in the storyline, had already been featured once before by Chen Qingfeng. 5
Chen Qingfeng didn't expect to be able to sign in again.
Slightly surprised, Chen Qingfeng didn't think much of it and directly chose to sign in.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in!]

……
Soon, news of the marriage bestowed by Emperor Qing in the palace spread from within the palace.
The news caused a stir in Kyoto.
……
Guangxin Palace.
Li Yunrui reclined seductively on the chair, her long, fair legs exposed.
In front of him was a lotus pond.
She was leisurely admiring the lotus flowers.
Just then, a maidservant hurriedly came forward:
"Your Highness."
"News has come from the palace that His Majesty has agreed to Fan Xian's annulment of the engagement."
"In addition, His Majesty also bestowed marriages upon the princess and Fan Ruoruo in front of the palace, ordering them to marry Chen Qingfeng."
Upon hearing what the maid said, Li Yunrui was startled.
This news came as a bit of a surprise.
After a moment's thought, Li Yunrui frowned and muttered meaningfully:
"It seems that our Emperor has also realized that Chen Qingfeng is no ordinary person!"
"Chen Qingfeng."
"From now on, you will be my opponent."
At this point, Li Yunrui gave a charming smile.
It was obvious to everyone that Emperor Qing was trying to push Chen Qingfeng out of the picture.
Thinking of Chen Qingfeng, she couldn't help but feel a desire to subdue him.
"One day, I will make him fall at my feet."
Just then, footsteps could be heard from not far away.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a servant leading Hong Sixiang forward.
Upon seeing Hong Sixiang, Li Yunrui's expression changed slightly, realizing that this was a trusted eunuch of Emperor Qing and the Empress Dowager.
"This old servant greets Your Highness the Eldest Princess."
Hong Sixiang stepped forward and bowed to Li Yunrui.
Li Yunrui smiled calmly and asked:
"What imperial decree has Eunuch Hong come to deliver?"
Hong Sixiang didn't delay and responded directly:
"His Majesty has summoned this old servant to invite Princess Chang to Xingqing Palace for an audience."
Upon hearing what Hong Sixiang said, Li Yunrui immediately frowned and looked puzzled.
She didn't understand why Emperor Qing had summoned her at this time.
After a slight hesitation, Li Yunrui smiled sweetly and said:
"Please wait a moment, Eunuch Hong."
"Please allow me to change my clothes and then I will go with you, Your Excellency!"
Hong Sixiang bowed and stepped aside to wait.
Not long after, Li Yunrui returned in his palace robes and went to Xingqing Palace with Hong Sixiang.
"Eunuch Hong, His Majesty has summoned me at this time. Is there something important that you wish to discuss?"
As they walked, Li Yunrui suddenly asked a question.
Upon hearing this, Hong Sixiang, who had previously led the way, responded:
"Your Highness, please forgive me, this old servant was unaware."
Although he said this, Hong Sixiang knew very well what was going on in his mind.
Previously, Emperor Qing had kept Chen Qingfeng behind for a private talk.
Emperor Qing knew that Li Yunrui had invited Chen Qingfeng to Guangxin Palace a few days ago.
Emperor Qing's original intention was to probe Chen Qingfeng's intentions.
Who knew Chen Qingfeng would dare to say such things?
She even said that Li Yunrui was lonely here and tried to seduce him in the bathhouse.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing was naturally furious.
However, out of consideration for the royal family's reputation, this matter will not be publicized.
Even when summoning Li Yunrui, it was his trusted confidant who was brought here.
Seeing that Hong Sixiang was unwilling to reveal more, Li Yunrui felt somewhat helpless.
After much thought, I still couldn't figure out Emperor Qing's intentions.
"Is it because of the arranged marriage?"
Suddenly, Li Yunrui thought of such a possibility.
No matter what, she is Lin Wan'er's biological mother.
First, Fan Xian annulled the engagement, and then she was given a marriage by imperial decree. We should at least take a look at her situation.
After thinking about it this way, Li Yunrui felt much more at ease.
Soon, Hong Sixiang brought Li Yunrui to Xingqing Palace.
At this moment, Emperor Qing stood with his back to Li Yunrui.
Li Yunrui stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I, your humble sister, pay my respects!"
To Li Yunrui's surprise, Emperor Qing remained unmoved, still standing with his back to her.
"Ok?"
Seeing this, Li Yunrui was filled with doubt, feeling that the atmosphere seemed a bit off.
Just then, Emperor Qing, who had his back to Li Yunrui, suddenly turned around.
His eyes were wide open, as if they were about to spit fire, his brows were furrowed, and veins bulged on his forehead, as if they were about to explode at any moment.
Seeing Emperor Qing's appearance, Li Yunrui's heart tightened.
"Brother Emperor..."
Just as Li Yunrui was about to ask, Emperor Qing gritted his teeth and said:
"Li Yunrui, you really have a lot of nerve!"
"You have utterly disgraced the Southern Qing royal family!"
Upon hearing Emperor Qing's stern shout, Li Yunrui frowned, looking completely flustered, and said:
"What do you mean by that, Your Majesty?"
"Humph!"
Emperor Qing, his face flushed with anger, waved his sleeve and said:
"what for?"
"The other day you invited Chen Qingfeng to Guangxin Palace, don't you know what you did?"
"As the eldest princess of Nanqing, how can you seduce a subject?"
"What's more, you knew Chen Qingfeng's identity, yet you still did such a despicable thing!"
Emperor Qing grew increasingly furious, his eyes flashing with cold light as he stared at Li Yunrui with a stern expression.
".〃ah?"
