Seeing Shang Ruyi's sharp and keen demeanor, Xiao Yuansui's smile deepened. He stood up slowly and walked from behind the desk to stand before Shang Ruyi, bowing his head to look at her: "What did I get wrong?"
"My father-in-law has long since ascended to the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor. My husband is the illustrious Prince Qin of the Dasheng Dynasty."
As Shang Ruyi spoke, she raised her head to meet his gaze, calm yet full of majesty, saying, "Even if you do not call me 'Your Highness', you should address me as 'Princess'."
Xiao Yuansui's eye twitched slightly.
Like Yu Wenye, he too was someone whose anger and joy were never shown overtly. Indeed, perhaps the more his heart was tormented, the angrier he was, the calmer and more indifferent his expression became. But at this moment, Shang Ruyi clearly saw his eye twitch slightly, as if something in her words had pierced his heart.
