Chapter 107: Willing
This matter is indeed not easy to handle, but Mu Qingge never expected that Mu Wenhan would rush over quickly.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Mu Wenhan's face was not very good, Mu Qingge asked.
"Sister, ...... you" Mu Wenhan hesitated for a moment, but still asked directly, "What happened between you and the third sister?" β
Hearing Mu Wenhan ask directly, Mu Qingge's heart was much more relaxed: "Did my brother hear something?" β
Seeing Mu Qingge's reaction, Mu Wenhan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart: "I...... It's just that the third sister cried very sadly......"
Mu Qingge never thought that Mu Qingyao would run to Mu Wenhan to cry. Of course, she knew very well that since Mu Qingyao went to Mu Wenhan, it was impossible for her to just cry. Although Mu Qingyao has taken care of the original owner since she was a child, and has maintained Mu Qingge several times, Mu Qingge really doesn't want to fall out with her. However, seeing Mu Qingyao's current approach, Mu Qingge was still extremely uncomfortable. In Mu Qingge's heart, if you like something, you should fight for it yourself, and if you can't win it, you can only blame yourself.
Mu Qingyao likes Shang Qirui, but instead of going directly to Shang Qirui, he wants to use himself and Mu Wenhan, which Mu Qingge has no way to agree with.
"Brother knows that the third prince is coming to the house today, right?"
"Yes." Mu Wenhan nodded, but he didn't know what Shang Qi Rui was doing.
"The third prince is here to propose marriage today, and the object is me." Mu Qingge said calmly, "The person that the third sister likes is the third prince. β
Mu Wenhan was stunned, when she met Mu Qingyao on the road, she cried and sobbed, and only said intermittently that Mu Qingge didn't like the right things, and she was reluctant to give them to her. Although Mu Wenhan didn't believe that Mu Qingge was that kind of person in his heart, he knew that Mu Qingyao was not a person who talked casually, so he hurried over to take a look, for fear that there was some misunderstanding.
Now hearing Mu Qingge say this, Mu Wenhan's heart was also instantly confused.
"Sister, do you like the Third Highness?" Mu Wenhan asked after a while.
Mu Qingge's face turned to the side, could it be that Mu Wenhan also had the same thoughts as Mu Qingyao?
"If you don't like Your Highness, wouldn't you be happy if you married him? I know that there seems to be a lot of friction between His Highness and you......" Mu Wenhan continued to explain without waiting for Mu Qingge to speak.
Mu Qingge was stunned, it turned out that Mu Wenhan was worried about himself, and he couldn't help blushing a little because of his conjecture.
"My brother was born in such a family, and he should know better than anyone that the power of the royal family is not so easy to challenge. Grandfather said that the emperor had promised the three princes that the holy decree might be delivered in these two days. Mu Qingge did not answer directly, but said an objective fact.
"You're right." Mu Wenhan's face also changed, and he was silent for a while, but he said firmly, "However, for the sake of my sister's happiness, if you don't want to, my brother is willing to challenge the royal authority for you." β
Mu Qingge didn't expect that Mu Wenhan would do so much for himself, if he wanted to say that he was not moved in his heart, it was impossible, and he was speechless for a while.
"I am willing to marry the third prince." Mu Qingge thought about it for a long time, and finally said.
"However, royal life is not as glamorous as we see. The third prince he ...... In the future, it will inevitably involve the struggle for the throne, and these whirlpools ......"
"I know all of this." Of course, Mu Qingge understands that the life of the royal family is not so easy, although she has not experienced it, she knows a thing or two by looking at history.
"But, my brother thinks, do I have a chance to choose who I marry? Instead of marrying someone I don't know and haven't even met in person. On the contrary, I think it might be better to marry the third prince. After all, at least I'm familiar with the Third Prince. Moreover, he is the god of war, and he is the coveted husband and monarch of many boudoir women in the capital, I don't think I have any reason to refuse. β
Hearing Mu Qingge say this, Mu Wenhan was even more sad. He knew Mu Qingge, and she found such a lot of reasons, not because these were real reasons. It's just that Mu Qingge knows very well that in the current situation, she can't help but agree. These reasons are sought to comfort others as well as to comfort oneself.
But Mu Wenhan has no choice, Mu Qingge is right, he knows very well what the consequences will be if he wants to resist this marriage. And as Mu Qingge said, if you don't marry Shang Qirui, can you marry someone else?
Thinking of Mu Qingge and Mu Qingyao's helplessness, Mu Wenhan's heart was also like a mess.
In addition to Mu Qingyao and Mu Wenhan, Shang Qirui came to propose marriage, and the Mu family was happy. Even in the evening, Xia also stewed a cup of chicken soup to show concern.
This made Mu Qingge not know whether to laugh or be annoyed, and after a pause, he felt funny again. After all, Xia is not really his mother, and there is nothing to be sad about if he is not good to himself. It's good to be able to maintain such harmony on the surface. Anyway, she is going to get married after all, and she will not live with the people of the Mu family for the rest of her life in the future, as long as she can get by in terms of face.
As everyone expected, the emperor's decree was delivered on the third day. Mu Qi took the whole family to receive the decree and quietly stuffed a jade wrench finger in the hand of the eunuch who delivered the decree.
"Oh, Taifu is so polite!" The old eunuch raised the voice of the spy, and the folds on his smiling face bloomed, "Congratulations, Master Taifu!" Congratulations Miss Mu! Miss Mu is smart and generous, treats people well, and became a princess in the future, but we are blessed by Dajin people. In the future, the old slave will have to invite the princess and concubine to take care of it......"
After being polite to each other, the old eunuch left happily.
The Mu family is naturally full of joy.
When the eunuch who delivered the decree left, Mu Qingge just returned to the courtyard after dealing with everyone, but found that Mu Qingyao was waiting for her there again.
"Third sister?" Mu Qingge was a little surprised, after last time, Mu Qingyao had never come to Mu Qingge again.
Today, the emperor's decree has arrived, and there is no room for Mu Qingge and Shang Qirui's affairs to turn around. Mu Qingyao came at this time, and she didn't know what she wanted to do, Mu Qingge was a little apprehensive.
"Why? I'm not going to eat you again. Mu Qingyao saw that Mu Qingge didn't speak, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she showed a smile, as if nothing had happened, "Sister Qingge won't still be angry with her sister, right?" β
Mu Qingge sorted out his mood and said, "The third sister is too worried, I have never been angry with my sister. Just ......"
"It's good if you're not angry." Mu Qingyao smiled a little brighter, "I've been thinking a lot about it these days, I was too impulsive last time, or your words make sense." It's my fault, I was so naΓ―ve, and I apologize to my sister. Hopefully, this incident will not affect our sisters' relationship for many years. R1152
