Chapter 721: Pretending to be cool

At this moment, the hall was completely silent as everyone looked at Princess Zhao Hua.
They were guessing who she would choose as her marriage partner.
Among them, there were some who did not want to fight and wished that the princess would choose them.
However, some people who wanted to enter the officialdom did not want her to choose them.
As the princess’s Prince Consort, he would enjoy endless glory and wealth for his entire life. However, if he became the princess’s Prince Consort, he would not be able to obtain any real power. Even if he had a position in the court, it would be an idle job.
Of course, this was a good job for those who didn’t want to enter the government or those who didn’t want to suffer.
Because even if they did not enter the government, they would still enjoy endless wealth and glory.
As long as Nan Zhao and Dong Li didn’t start a war, then as Nan Zhao’s Prince Consort, he would be unparalleled in his life.
However, this was only the opinion of some people. The other group did not want the princess to choose them, because they still wanted to enter the court and become an official.
As a result, the hall formed two extremes. A portion of the young talents looked at the princess with hope.
Some of them looked at the princess with worry.
In fact, the princess didn’t even look at them. She just held her wine glass and walked up to Xiao Jiuyuan.
A cold aura slowly gathered around Xiao Jiuyuan’s body. His eyes were full of arrogance as he looked at the woman in front of him with disgust.
He had a look of disdain on his face.
If she was a smart woman, she would turn around and leave, not asking for trouble.
Unfortunately, the princess of Nan Zhao did not leave. She elegantly knelt down, raised her wine glass, and said respectfully,”Li Prince, please drink this wine.”
Everyone in the hall was in an uproar.
At the same time, he looked at Xiao Jiuyuan, li Prince, and finally calmed down.
Because li Prince Xiao Jiuyuan was indeed an outstanding man in all aspects, it should be expected that the princess would choose him.
However, this li Prince had jinxed several fiancées. Wasn’t the princess afraid?
Everyone thought that Xiao Jiuyuan did not jinx his wife. If he did, why was Princess Lingyi still alive?
Therefore, there was no such thing as a jinx in li Prince’s body.
In the main hall, Xiao Jiuyuan’s eyes were cold and his lips curved into a bloody sneer. He looked up at the woman kneeling in front of him and said coldly.
“Pretentious, deliberately mysterious, you think you can hide from this King just because you can hide from others? what kind heart, what great talent, they’re all just means to raise your status. You think you’re worthy of using such small tricks in front of this King?”
His words shocked everyone in the hall.
What did li Prince mean by this?
Everything about Princess Nan Zhao was an act. It couldn’t be.
The rescue was fake? The dance was fake? Playing the piano was fake?
All of this was done by him, so how could His Highness speak of him like this?
The Prime Minister of Nan Zhao’s group of envoys quickly stood out and shouted coldly with an ugly expression.
Li Prince, your words are not only insulting my princess, but also insulting me.”
“I, Nan Zhao, came to Dongli state with good intentions to form a marriage alliance. The princess volunteered to come here for a marriage alliance, yet she has to be humiliated by you like this. You’ve gone too far.”
After the Prime Minister finished speaking, he turned to the Emperor and said,””Emperor of Dongli, your Prince of Dongli is too much.”
The Emperor looked at Xiao Jiuyuan with a bad expression and scolded,””Ninth Imperial brother, what nonsense are you spouting? take the wine cup.”
