Chapter 90: The Die is Cast

"Why is it that each of my brothers has married a talented and virtuous girl from a prestigious family, and I, of all people, end up with a cripple?"

Enraged, the Emperor threw the inkstone he was holding: "You ungrateful wretch! In what way is Jiang Ning not good enough for you? In terms of looks, who in Chang'an City can outshine her?"

"I don't find her beautiful at all. In fact, I think she's lazy and shameless."

"You have no taste!" The Emperor sneered. "If you look down upon her so much, why did you choose her during the selection, even throwing the flower ball in her direction in front of the Empress and the other concubines? That was not something I forced you to do."

Li Hongyuan was silent for a moment before he spoke, "What if I hadn't chosen her back then?"

"Would you have not chosen her?"

"No, I wouldn't."
