Douluo: Man in the Endless World, Auspicious Beast of the Far North

Chapter 146 Xu Tianzhen: I still don’t like you!
Yunze refused decisively, but it was also within the expectations of many people.

Although Xu Tianzhen is a princess of a country, everyone knows that this so-called princess is actually just a group favorite. She has no power but status. However, if she marries into the princess's mansion, she can't compare to the eldest daughter of the Mingdetang family!
Meng Hongchen was very confident in Yunze. Perhaps only a girl like Longxi, who had a perfect figure and a sense of mystery, would make her feel a sense of crisis.

This little princess is about the same age as Yunze now. She has no figure and looks pretty, but she is still a little loli.

Seeing Yunze's refusal, Jiang Liyan didn't react much, but just smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, actually. I can see your feelings for Miss Meng, but for an outstanding man, having another wife is actually no big deal."

Yunze nodded, admitting that Jiang Liyan was right.

Not to mention others, let’s just talk about Yunze himself. Apart from Meng Hongchen, Qiu’er’s heart also belongs to him. As for the two people in the far north, to be honest, it is absolutely impossible for Yunze not to be moved.

Yunze looked at Xu Tianzhen deeply, then shook his head again, "My Lady, I'm so sorry."

Jiang Liyan's eyes flashed, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Xu Tianzhen speak first.

She pointed directly at Yunze and said with a pout, "Just reject me if you want to. Humph, I still don't like you! Apart from being a little handsome, you are just a commoner!"

"Your Highness is right. I, Yunze, am just an ordinary person and I am indeed not worthy of being with Your Highness." Yunze nodded.

Although he said this, Yunze's mind was working rapidly.

Xu Tianzhen and Xu Tianran are siblings from the same mother, so Jiang Liyan must be very concerned about her son.

It seems that the royal family took the initiative to propose the marriage, but you have to know that the emperor is present now. Yunze has rejected the marriage proposal of the royal family in front of the royal family. It can be said that he has already felt that he is being targeted.

Who is targeting him?

Naturally, it is the Sun and Moon Emperor.

Then next, someone should stand up to smooth things over and give himself a way out.

With the sound of rolling wheels, Xu Tianran, who was originally chatting and smiling with Xu Tianyuan and Jing Hongchen not far away, was pushed in a wheelchair by the maid and came to Yunze.

He smiled, and although he was not particularly handsome, he gave people the feeling that he was very easy to get along with.

Is that really the case?

Yunze thought to himself.

Xu Tianran held a wine glass in his hand, two-thirds of it filled with wine. He looked at Yunze, raised his glass, and said, "I had a brief chat about you with Senior Hongchen before. Speaking of which, I've heard a lot about Brother Yunze before. I'm glad to meet him in person today. He is indeed as Mo Yan said, an extremely outstanding young man."

"Mother, as the saying goes, marriage is not easy. Since Brother Yunze has no feelings for me, spending more time on this won't have much effect."

Jiang Liyan sighed softly, "I just think this child is very good, and maybe he is a good match for our Tianzhen family."

Xu Tianran nodded, "I naturally understand what the Queen Mother feels for Tian Zhen."

As he spoke, Xu Tianran turned his head and looked at Yunze, "I wonder if I will be lucky enough to have a drink with Brother Yunze?"

Yunze naturally did not refuse. He took a step forward. Seeing this, Meng Hongchen beside him hurriedly helped him fill the wine glass.

"First of all, thank you, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, for your appreciation of me. However, I am just an ordinary person. Your Highness the Crown Prince does not need to treat me like this. I will drink first as a token of my respect." After Yun Ze finished speaking, he took the initiative to clink glasses with Xu Tianran and then drank the wine in the glass.

Xu Tianran smiled and drank the wine in the glass clean as well.

"Brother Yun, there's no need to be so. You're a rising star at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Instructor Academy. In the future, you'll represent the empire in the Soul Master Competition. We'll rely on you to achieve that supreme glory." "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said so, I, Yun, will certainly not disappoint His Highness."

Xu Tianran rubbed his fingers lightly on the wine glass and said casually, "Brother Yun, are you interested in visiting my side palace?"

Yunze smiled bitterly, "Isn't this a bit bad?"

"Nothing, just strolling around." Xu Tianran smiled slightly, "Coincidentally, an elder was very interested in you before and said he would like to meet you if there is a chance."

Yunze fell silent.

At some point, Meng Hongchen's small hand gently held his palm. The small hand was not big, but it gave him great tenderness.

"I'm sorry to bother you then." Yunze said.

Xu Tianran's eyes flashed, and then he laughed again, "I didn't expect that today's birthday party of Tian Zhen would allow me to meet a friend like Brother Yun, regardless of age difference. Brother Yun, I will wait for you to come some other day."

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently patted the back of the hand of the maid who was pushing the wheelchair. The latter quickly turned the wheelchair around and pushed him back to the main table.

After Xu Tianran left, Jiang Liyan also smiled and said, "I know that you young people like to fall in love first and then get married. You are a very good child. As for the naive marriage, the future still counts."

After saying that, she took the sulky Xu Tianzhen away and went to be with the Sun and Moon Emperor.

The way the noble children around looked at Yunze changed drastically. Yunze's identity had completely changed.

If he was originally only considered a potential future son-in-law of the Hongchen family, then now, Yunze has become someone recognized by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

There is a high possibility that he will become an important figure in the princeling party in the future!

Seeing this, many noble children under the Prince's Party came over with wine glasses in hand to greet him. However, unlike before, those girls who had fiery eyes became extremely reserved. When they toasted Yunze, they all lowered their heads, for fear of being distracted by Yunze's handsome face.

Yunze responded to each of these. After the group of people toasted and returned, Meng Hongchen finally took Yunze's arm and whispered to his ear with her delicate lips, "Xiaoze, are you planning to join the Crown Prince's army?"

"Of course not." Yunze answered in the same low voice.

Meng Hongchen panicked upon hearing this. "Then why did you agree to Xu Tianran's request? Don't be fooled by his easygoing appearance. He's actually a vindictive man. It's said that the deaths of many royal family members were more or less related to him."

"The reason why Xu Tianran didn't make an appointment with me before, but chose to meet me at this time, is precisely because the emperor is here today."

"This man dotes on Xu Tianzhen, and this princess and Xu Tianran are born of the same mother. He must have discussed this with the Queen first and brought Xu Tianzhen here to propose marriage. Think about it, if the Queen took the initiative to propose marriage to an ordinary person like me and was rejected, wouldn't the Sun and Moon Emperor be angry?"

Meng Hongchen listened to Yunze's words and suddenly felt terrified. "Then, Xu Tianran will take this opportunity to come over and smooth things over. If you refuse, not only you, but perhaps even our Mingde Hall will be implicated."

Yunze nodded, "That's about it."

Then, he hesitated for a moment and said with a hint of apology, "Sister Meng, I actually had more plans when I rejected Princess Tian Zhen."

Meng Hongchen was stunned, but still chose to continue listening.

"I'm planning to find a backer in the royal family. Right now, it seems that this innocent princess is the best candidate." Yunze took a deep breath, then held Meng Hongchen's hand tightly, "I'm sorry."
