Quickly wear a child: a beautiful woman with many children brings happiness

Everyone was stunned. Time seemed to freeze suddenly. Conversations stopped abruptly. The whole scene fell into dead silence. Only the sound of the sharp wind whistling past could be clearly heard by everyone.

Emperor Cheng Jing's expression suddenly became gloomy, just like the sky covered by dark clouds.

"Nonsense!" Chi Mo's face, which was originally as cold as frost and snow, was instantly replaced by anger.

"Master Mu's words are simply a blasphemy to the princess's piano music! I guarantee with my reputation and life that the reason why the plum blossoms around this pavilion bloomed in an instant is entirely due to the princess's piano music that sounds like the sound of nature!"

Yun Yuan, who was standing beside him, quietly took his hand and gave him a grateful look.

Chi Mo Ruyu's face turned red, and her lips couldn't help but rise up, and she shook Yun Yuan's hand again.

He continued, "The princess's personal maid and my attendant are outside and can testify for us."

"I can testify to this." Xiaodie bowed to Emperor Chengjing, "Lord Mu was just standing outside the pavilion. He did nothing except shivering in the wind."

"I can testify that Lord Mu did not pray at all. The plum blossoms bloomed only after the princess played the piano."

Mu Nan pursed his lips and acted as if he was humiliated: "It was obviously me... That's all. Since you want this honor, then take it. It's my fault. I shouldn't be unwilling to accept it, but I..."

He hesitated to speak, acting as if he was under duress.

Yun Yuan asked, "Master Zhaomu, do you mean that I have taken away the honor that you deserve?"

Mu Nan lowered his head and said, "I didn't say so, but the plum blossoms did bloom for my prayers."

Chu Yuheng, Xi Haoling and Xiao Qingxuan hurried over. When they saw the blooming plum blossoms, they were surprised and stood beside Yun Yuan without hesitation.

"I wonder how Lord Mu prays?" Chu Yuheng looked at Mu Nan with a sharp gaze and said loudly, "I have traveled a lot in recent years and have gained a lot of knowledge, but I have never heard of anyone's prayer being able to make plum blossoms bloom instantly."

Facing Chu Yuheng's questioning, Mu Nan remained calm and composed, "Of course it varies from person to person. Everyone has a different connection with the heavens, so the effects produced will also be different."

Xi Haoling on the side laughed sarcastically, and then said: "Master Zhaomu means that you are the exception who is specially favored by the gods in heaven?"

Everyone looked strange at once.

Emperor Cheng Jing's face darkened. It was said that the emperor was the son of God. Mu Nan's words clearly showed that he had rebellious intentions.

Mu Nan did not notice the trap in Xi Haoling's words. He bowed slightly and said, "You are all rare talents in the world. Mu Nan does not dare to be arrogant. Perhaps it was just because I was sincere enough when I prayed that I received the mercy of God and received such a response."

"How shameless." Xiao Qingxuan sneered, a trace of disdain flashed in his narrow eyes, and he said coldly: "Since Master Mu has described his prayers as so miraculous, and now that we are all here, you might as well demonstrate it again to open our eyes."

Mu Nan looked embarrassed: "For a miracle to happen, it requires the right time, the right place, and the right people. All three conditions are indispensable. Given the current situation, I cannot guarantee that I can still summon such a miracle."

Chu Yuheng said bluntly: "You can't prove that all this was done by you. To put it bluntly, you just want to covet this reputation."

Chi Mo said: "It is said that a skilled musician can summon hundreds of birds with the sound of his zither. Princess Chaoyan's zither sound is unparalleled in the world. Isn't it a miracle that it can make flowers bloom?"

Hearing this, everyone present nodded, there was indeed such a legend in the past.

Seeing that no one was on his side, Mu Nan had no intention of backing down. Instead, he made righteous excuses for himself.

"I also use my own future and my life as a guarantee that the plum blossoms in the garden are indeed blooming because of my sincere prayers."

Seeing his firm attitude, the people who were originally skeptical began to become hesitant again.

After all, Mu Nan was just a minor official of the seventh rank. According to common sense, how could he dare to challenge the princess whom His Majesty loved most? Especially in front of His Majesty.

Unless he was truly filled with endless resentment, he would certainly not take such a huge risk and kneel resolutely before the emperor.

This is exactly the situation that Mu Nan expected.

Although he had no way to prove that the plum blossoms bloomed because of him, at least these words could confuse people.

As long as Princess Chaoyan is unable to produce strong evidence to refute him, there will always be some people who remain skeptical and choose to believe what he says.

In this way, if he makes any mistakes in the future, there will surely be someone who will stand up and plead for him.

With such an auspicious sign appearing, even if Emperor Cheng Jing ultimately fails to marry the princess to him, he will at least restore his original official position, right?

He said earnestly: "Your Majesty, I am telling the truth not for any reward, but to seek truth from facts and not to let Your Majesty be deceived."

Emperor Cheng Jing narrowed his eyes. This Mu Nan really didn't know what he was talking about. Did he think that he couldn't punish him since the matter was unclear? How ridiculous!

Seeing that Emperor Chengjing was about to get angry, Yun Yuan quickly said, "Since Mu Nan said that the plum blossoms bloomed because of him, let's compete to see who can make the plum blossoms bloom."

Mu Nan thought that it was a miracle for the plum blossoms to bloom once, and it was absolutely impossible for them to bloom a second time. Princess Chaoyan could encounter a coincidence once, but it was impossible for such a coincidence to happen every time.

He readily agreed: "Just as the princess said."

Seeing that he looked calm and fearless, more people began to believe in him. However, for the sake of Emperor Chengjing and Princess Chaoyan, no one dared to say it out loud.

Yun Yuan's beautiful eyes moved and her gaze rested on another cluster of plum trees next to the ice rink.

Because it is some distance away from here and without the influence of the piano music, the plum blossoms over there are still in bud.

She raised her hand and said, "Let's go over there and compete."

Mu Nan: "Just as Her Royal Highness the Princess said."

Everyone walked towards that direction together. When they reached the plum tree, Mu Nan suddenly asked, "Your Highness, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Yun Yuan: "Why not?"

"Okay then." Mu Nan said, "I have admired the princess for a long time. If the princess cannot prove that the plum blossom bloomed because of you, you must marry me."

"How dare you!" The emperor was furious. "What a courage you have to use provocation to openly instigate Chaoyang to disobey the imperial edict in front of me. Mu Nan!"

Mu Nan's face turned pale, and he knelt on the snow again: "I dare not, but I love the princess so much, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Someone, drag him out and chop him up!"

Mu Nan didn't expect the emperor to defend the princess in front of all the officials. It hadn't been figured out who caused the plum blossoms to bloom. Wasn't he afraid of being criticized by the world for doing this? What if the plum blossoms were really created by him?

Sure enough, a minister pleaded for Mu Nan: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Think twice! Emperor Cheng Jing couldn't think twice. What kind of people dared to covet his daughter these days?

Yun Yuan said, "I can make a bet with you. If I can prove that the plum blossoms bloomed because of my music, I will kill you."

Xiao Qingxuan was about to persuade her, but when he heard Yun Yuan say that Mu Nan wanted to die, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

If Her Royal Highness the Princess fails, he will not let her marry Mu Nan, he will kill Mu Nan!

Chu Yuheng had the same plan as him.

Chi Mo and Xi Haoling looked at Yun Yuan worriedly. Yun Yuan shook her head at them, signaling them not to interfere and that she was confident she could handle it.

When Mu Nan heard that Yun Yuan wanted to make a bet with him, he originally thought that she would ask him to prove it, but he unexpectedly got a pleasant surprise. He was sure that Yun Yuan would not be so lucky again, and nodded impatiently.

"Just as Princess Chaoyan said, if the princess can make the plum blossoms bloom, Mu Nan is willing to die, but if the princess can't do it, you have to marry me."

Emperor Chengjing frowned tightly. This bet was unfair. Besides, marriage was no joke. How could he make a bet casually? Besides, Chaoyan was already engaged.

"Nonsense." He said sternly, "Let's stop here. Don't mention the plum blossoms anymore."

Compared to my daughter's lifelong happiness, the truth is no longer important.

[I have read all the history books but still cannot find any record of this incident. It turns out that it was stopped by Emperor Chengjing.]

[Why did Princess Chaoyan marry Mu Nan? I'm so anxious! ]

[The Princess Chao Yan in history who was persistent in pursuing Mu Nan is totally different from the Princess Chao Yan we see today. 】

【Wait a little longer, maybe there will be a reversal. 】

Just when everyone thought that the matter was over.

"Father, I have a way to prove that the plum blossoms bloomed because of my music." Yun Yuan said seriously, "Please believe me."
