As soon as these words came out, Li Yuyue's expression instantly hardened, and the proud smile that had been on her face now appeared somewhat ridiculous.
"Prince Beichen, what do you mean by that?" Li Yuyue asked, her expression seeming somewhat disbelieving of what she had just heard.
A beauty like Mioling, she believed that no man would refuse her, so how could Emperor Beichen be an exception?
Mioling's face also froze for a moment. The shyness on her face turned into anger. If she, as a girl, was rejected even after being so straightforward, it would be utterly embarrassing!
"I don't need anyone except for the Princess," Emperor Beichen repeated coldly, his face devoid of any warmth.
His icy and resolute words contained no trace of emotion. In Emperor Beichen's heart, there was only Baili Hongzhuang.
Apart from Baili Hongzhuang, all other women were nothing more than skeletons in red makeup.
"If Miss Li is so eager to arrange such matters, why not focus on arranging for the Crown Prince instead? In my opinion, it would be quite fitting for your distant cousin to marry the Crown Prince alongside you.
As for the matters of my Prince's residence, there's no need for you to concern yourself with them!"
With Emperor Beichen's words falling, the civil and military officials present were all stunned, their faces filled with astonishment.
Originally, Li Yuyue giving a beauty to Prince Beichen should have been a good thing. Who would have thought that Prince Beichen would coldly reject it?
However, what Emperor Beichen said made sense to a certain extent. Li Yuyue was just an unmarried young lady, and now she was already scheming for Prince Beichen's favor. It was too overstepping.
Li Yuyue's face turned unpleasant, forming a sharp contrast with her previous pride.
"Prince Beichen, I was merely trying to help," Li Yuyue defended herself. "Mioling will definitely be able to serve you well."
A mischievous smile curved Emperor Beichen's lips as he looked at Mioling for a moment, raising an eyebrow. "This kind of woman, is she worthy?"
Li Yuyue's face turned pale. Emperor Beichen's words clearly rejected any possibility. She couldn't understand why Mioling, no matter from any perspective, had become unworthy in Emperor Beichen's eyes.
If Mioling wasn't worthy, then was Baili Hongzhuang worthy?
Mioling's eyes reddened slightly as she looked at Emperor Beichen with indignation. She had been sincere, but now she was met with such disdain from Emperor Beichen. How should she handle this?
Li Chengqian was also surprised. He thought Yue'er's idea was quite good. Once Mioling entered the Prince's residence, she would have many opportunities to sow discord between Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen.
This kind of scheme would work on other men, but it failed outright?
There wasn't even a process, and Emperor Beichen directly rejected it?
"Haha, Emperor Beichen is truly domineering!" Little Hei exclaimed excitedly.
"Well said, I like it!" Little Bai clapped his hands in approval. This kind of trick should be met with this kind of slap in the face!
The White Lion, at this moment, stopped struggling and comfortably nestled in Baili Hongzhuang's arms. This infuriating woman had already lost face without its intervention.
"Prince Beichen, even though you hold a noble position, isn't it too much to say such things?" Li Yuyue said in a deep voice.
Regardless of the circumstances, she was still a young lady from the Prime Minister's residence, but Emperor Beichen didn't leave her any face with his words.
"I have always been outspoken. If Miss Li can't bear it, then stay away from me."
Emperor Beichen lazily picked up a grape and put it in his mouth, his gaze shifting elsewhere, no longer paying attention to Li Yuyue and Mioling.
