When his aunt, who was the Princess Consort of Jing, spoke up and asked him to go to Shuangxi Town to propose to a peasant girl, he refused.
It wasn't that he looked down on her, rather it was simply the reality of the situation.
For no reason at all, being asked to marry a farm girl whose name and face he didn't even know, no one would be happy about that.
Moreover, when the Princess Consort of Jing mentioned Ye Jiu, who had created soap, Liu Yunqing's expression turned even more complex.
Ye Jiu was someone he had seen, and although he did not despise her ugliness, in all honesty, that dark-spotted, dark and plump little girl truly could not inspire any sort of desire in a person.
However, later, after he learned the full story of Ye Jiu's background, Liu Yunqing was both shocked and angry, yet he couldn't dismiss the matter.
To prevent the Liu Family from being executed, he had to marry Ye Jiu.
