"Your Highness, Eunuch Li just asked for a meeting and said that the Emperor summoned him to the Imperial Study." Bi Qi slapped his head. He had been so busy replying to Your Highness that he almost forgot about it.
Mu Yunchen noticed all these things. What was supposed to happen would happen, and he had to appoint a concubine anyway. From the day he decided to fight for the throne, there was no more romance between men and women.
Besides, he doesn't have anyone he likes right now. The only so-called deep love he has is what others told him about. Maybe he did have a relationship before?
But no matter what happened in the past, it was natural for him to appoint the most helpful person as the Crown Princess, and she was the most suitable candidate, otherwise why would his fifth brother start to panic?
When Mu Yunchen went to the imperial study and passed the imperial garden, he unexpectedly met Mu Yunyu. Mu Yunchen sneered in his heart, is he rushing to block him?
"Your Highness." Mu Yunyu bowed and saluted, with a smile on his face that had some ill intentions, as if he was smiling with a dagger hidden beneath.
"How come Fifth Brother is so leisurely and has the leisure to come to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers? Unlike me, it's almost sunset and the Emperor has something important to summon you for."
Mu Yunchen is a bit sinister. If any other prince had said this, he would probably be accused of disrespecting the emperor, but he dared to do it.
"Of course. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with all kinds of affairs every day. How can we, his subjects, compare to him?" Mu Yunyu kept that smile on his face, as if he had practiced it for a long time and would not break it under normal circumstances.
Mu Yunchen glanced at him and found that he was still in this weird look. He was setting traps for him with every word. Could it be that someone from the Censorate was eavesdropping on him?
"Fifth brother, what you said is right. You and I are all subjects of the emperor. The emperor is busy with many things every day. As subjects and sons, we should do our best to help."
"Yes, yes, my royal brother is still good at talking." Mu Yunyu nodded hurriedly, as if he had said something wrong and was full of apology.
After a pause, he continued to ask: "Your Highness, did you go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha today? Why did your brother smell the smell of burning paper and incense on your body?"
Mu Yunchen really couldn't stand his pretentiousness and asking questions knowing the answer, so he mocked him, "Fifth brother's sense of smell is like that of a famous dog, oh no, even better."
Mu Yunyu's expression froze. Did he mean he was a dog? He couldn't pretend anymore. Mu Yunyu said, "Since the emperor has summoned you, Your Highness, please go quickly. Don't miss the time. I will take my leave first."
Mu Yunchen looked at Mu Yunyu's hurried steps and couldn't help but find it funny. He came here in a hurry to be humiliated as soon as he came back. What was he thinking?
"Fifth brother, walk slower. The injury on your foot hasn't healed yet, and you might get new injuries." Before Mu Yunchen finished speaking, Mu Yunyu was tripped by a stone under his feet. He was so angry that he didn't notice that the flower bed here was still under construction.
Upon seeing this, Mu Yunchen quickly restrained himself, straightened his expression, turned around and walked towards the imperial study. He couldn't bear to watch such a bustle.
Bi Qi followed behind him and unconsciously quickened his pace. He looked at his own prince's raised mouth and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Your Highness, you know how to amuse yourself, but you said you had to reveal that you had been to the Huguo Temple, and why did you admit that you injured the Ninth Prince's foot.
But what Bi Qi didn't know was that his prince felt refreshed when he woke up. He always lived in secret before, but now he wanted to play his cards openly.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince requests an audience." Li Baoquan had served the Emperor for many years and was accustomed to reading people's expressions. Seeing the Emperor happy, he also started to be happy.
"Pass it on." The emperor looked at the mountain of memorials in front of him, but he did not look worried. Instead, he looked in the direction of the entrance with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty." Mu Yunchen knelt down to pay his respects after entering the palace, but he could clearly feel that the imperial study today was indeed...
"Please stand up and take a seat." The emperor looked at Mu Yunchen with a smile, and couldn't wait to tell him his decision.
Li Baoquan pinched his throat, waved the whisk in his hand and ordered the eunuch beside him to quickly bring a chair. Mu Yunchen was now completely restrained, sitting obediently aside waiting for the emperor's words.
"Today you left the palace to go to the Huguo Temple. Did you see Master Sikong?"
"Father, I have seen it."
"Really?" The emperor was obviously a little surprised. Master Sikong of the Huguo Temple was also the number one person in the world who disobeyed the emperor's order. He had summoned him many times but was rejected. Now his prince actually met him.
"Master Sikong, have you given me any advice?"
"Your Majesty, Master Sikong only told me to follow my heart and let nature take its course. The rest are secrets that cannot be revealed." Mu Yunchen answered honestly. He was a little confused. He was a little confused by what Master Sikong said today.
What does it mean to follow your heart, what does it mean to go with the flow, and what does it mean to lose what should be lost.
He could understand the first two, but he couldn't understand the third sentence. He had never lost anything, had he? If he had to say something, it was his well-known love for the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion before he was assassinated.
"Well, Master Sikong has his reasons for saying so. I still have something to discuss with the Crown Prince."
Mu Yunchen looked at his father's smile and couldn't help but shudder. How could you want to discuss this with your son? Hasn't everything been decided?
However, Mu Yunchen still nodded, looking very respectful as if waiting for the emperor to speak.
"I think Prime Minister Mu's legitimate daughter, Mu Peiyun, is a perfect match for the Crown Prince, and I would like to grant you two a marriage. What do you think, Crown Prince?"
The emperor looked at Mu Yunchen smugly, as if to say that it was you who had devoted all your heart to the Prime Minister's daughter before, and now that I have done what you wished, you shouldn't thank me?
Mu Yunchen immediately put on an expression of surprise. His assassination was most likely caused by Mu Yunyu, and his father and mother were not informed of this matter. Therefore, they thought that he was deeply in love with the Prime Minister's daughter.
At this moment, he had to pretend to be extremely moved. Besides, marrying the daughter of the Prime Minister would be the greatest help to the Mu Kingdom. He was very satisfied.
"My son, I have to rely on my father to make the decision."
Sure enough, after hearing this, the emperor smiled happily, stroked his beard, and prepared to write the imperial edict to grant marriage.
On the other side, Mu Qingqing took her two daughters back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Mu Peiyun and Mu Peiyao returned to their own courtyards after meeting Mu Jin.
Mu Jin's face instantly fell, and Mu Qingqing also sat beside her: "Is it settled?"
Mu Jin nodded, looked at Mu Qingqing seriously and said, "It's settled."
"Why don't I go with Madam to test Yun'er's feelings? If she doesn't want to, I will go to the palace early tomorrow and reject this marriage before the imperial decree is issued, while there is still room for maneuver."
Mu Qingqing met Mu Jin's eyes, feeling somewhat helpless, "How can I refuse? This emperor is too impatient. He has already made a big fuss about this matter. Everyone in the palace knows about it before the imperial edict is issued.
Not to mention that this is a marriage granted by the Emperor, how can I refuse a marriage with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Even if I refuse, I can save my family, but I am afraid that no one will dare to ask for Yun'er's hand in marriage in the future."
