Chapter 1536: Her Highness the Princess (86)

 But remembering the promise he had made to Huayin, the Emperor of Western Yun suppressed his anger. Back then, if Huayin had not helped him, he would never have emerged victorious from the palace struggles and become the new Emperor of Western Yun.

“Is Your Highness dissatisfied with these terms?”

Tang Guo shook her head and smiled lightly.

“No, I'm dissatisfied with you.”

Seeing her shake her head, the Emperor of Western Yun had thought he still had a chance. But upon hearing those words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

“And what exactly is Your Highness dissatisfied with?”

Supporting her chin with one hand, Tang Guo answered leisurely, “Too promiscuous, too old, too ugly, too stupid, and too naïve.”

The ministers of Northern Xia: Grand Princess, wise and brilliant.

Lin Yuexiang and her two children exchanged glances, smiles returning to their faces.

Her Highness's summary was simply perfect.

The Emperor of Western Yun had countless women in his harem. He really was too promiscuous. At over forty years old, he truly was too old. Looking at his appearance and then glancing at Yun Buxiu, who was also no longer young, yet looked exactly as he had years ago, untouched by time, they could only conclude that the Emperor of Western Yun really was ugly.

As for being stupid, he really was. Only someone whose head had been squeezed by a door would think that their Grand Princess would marry him and become Empress of Western Yun.

How could being an empress compare to the comfort and freedom of being Grand Princess?

So yes, the man was indeed naïve.

Hearing Tang Guo's words, Yun Buxiu first smiled happily, then hurriedly inspected himself.

Unable to see his own face, he lowered his head and looked at his reflection in his wine cup. Seeing that he still looked acceptable, he relaxed.

It seemed that in the future, he should brew more nourishing flower tea to preserve his youthful appearance and avoid being disliked by Her Highness.

The Emperor of Western Yun was truly enraged.

“Grand Princess, this is far too insulting!”

“I'm insulting you. What can you do about it?”

Tang Guo replied with a smile.

After more than twenty years of hard work, she had finally cultivated an entire herd of dependable oxen and established an unparalleled position.

In Northern Xia, she could practically do whatever she pleased, and Tang Zhi would indulge her.

She estimated that even if she declared she wanted to become Emperor, Tang Zhi would not oppose her and might even gladly agree.

What could a mere Emperor of Western Yun possibly do to her?

“Emperor of Northern Xia, is this how you treat guests? I have long heard of the Grand Princess's fame, but after meeting her today, I never imagined… she would be so lacking.”

Tang Zhi lazily raised his eyelids and casually replied, “I spoil her. What are you going to do about it?”

Yun Buxiu immediately became dissatisfied.

What did he mean by I spoil her?

Clearly, he spoiled her too.

Everyone spoiled her together.

Yet this man was claiming all the credit for himself.

The ministers below also wore expressions that seemed to say: Your Majesty, even if you're the Emperor, you can't monopolize the credit like this.

Pampering the Grand Princess was something they all had a share in.

But at times like this, Tang Zhi's words naturally carried the greatest authority.

After all, he was the Emperor.

The Emperor of Western Yun had never imagined things would turn out like this.

He glared angrily at Tang Zhi.

“Emperor of Northern Xia, do you wish for war?”

“I prefer peace,” Tang Zhi answered calmly. “But if the dog next door insists on jumping over the wall and biting people, then I have no reason to fear. Winter is approaching. It would be a good time to knock down the dog and make some dog meat soup.”

The Emperor of Western Yun trembled with rage.

“You people have gone too far!”

“Imperial Brother, I don't want to look at him anymore. He's old, ugly, and stupid. Throw him out. Everyone is waiting to eat. If we keep delaying, people will get stomach problems from hunger.”

Lü Yuzhi immediately agreed.

“Your Majesty, Her Highness is correct. Eating irregularly is indeed harmful to the stomach.”
