Others couldn't make sense of it, but Gong Ruogu was the most confounded.
Recently, the Fifth Princess had been telling him that on her birthday, she would request the Empress to grant them marriage.
She wanted to marry him off to her brilliantly, as the Fifth Imperial Princess Consort.
He showed disdain on his face and did not express agreement, yet deep inside, he was pleased.
Even though he loved the Third Princess, being pursued and loved unconditionally by the highest-ranking Imperial Princess, aside from the Empress herself, was also a matter of pride for him.
If it weren't for the ambition of the Third Princess, he would never have agreed to marry the Fifth Princess, a useless person who could not inherit the great rule.
But now, just when everyone thought she would ask for marriage, she instead helped Lu Xun, whom he loathed the most.
This made Gong Ruogu's expression change repeatedly, his eyes filled with anger and grievance. How could she do this?
