Chapter 168: Amma Says Let Me Marry You
When night falls, there are scattered stars hanging in the sky, and from time to time dark clouds float by.
It's like the dull atmosphere in the imperial palace at this moment, which makes people breathless.
Mu Chen received the order and came to the palace, and when he saw that there were a few strangers inside, he just glanced coldly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The minister has seen the emperor, please say hello to the emperor." β
The emperor smiled lightly, waved his sleeves, and motioned for him to get up.
"General Mu is flat, no need to be polite."
Then, he smiled again: "This is Princess Pan Bang Leqi, and she is also the object of our Dongyue Kingdom this time. β
Mu Chen's face did not change, but he just glanced at the woman in strange clothes not far away, and said indifferently: "Minister, I have seen Princess Leqi, the princess is a thousand years old." β
Le Qi's marble-sized eyes looked at him clearly and ignorantly, and said with a hippie smile.
"Excuse me, you are the object of my Amma's mouth to marry this princess, General Mu Chen, right?"
In the palace, there were many princes and children of the noble royal power, and when they saw Le Qi's innocent appearance, they couldn't help but feel a spring in their hearts.
A pair of eyes were firmly attracted, but Mu Chen was an exception, he was unmoved, cold as ever, and even glanced at the emperor with a look of anger on his face.
As if asking him what was going on, it wasn't finalized at the beginning.
The emperor felt his gaze, as if he was deliberately avoiding it, and the atmosphere in the palace became subtle.
Qinglian, the maid next to Princess Le Qi, smiled apologetically at Mu Chen, secretly pulled down Le Qi's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "The princess is so nonsense, where are you so unreserved." β
Le Qi laughed, stuck out her tongue and didn't answer, but a pair of big eyes kept locking on Mu Chen, as if admiring.
Mu Chen saw the emperor's reaction and knew that he had been calculated.
He just sneered, exuding a fierce aura all over his body, and the temperature in the entire palace seemed to drop by several degrees.
"I'm afraid that Princess Leqi has misunderstood, the minister already has a wife, and she will not take any more women."
When the women present heard this, they were full of envy and jealousy, which was the dream of many of them.
When you meet a person with a white head, choose a city to grow old, give yourself a sincere heart, and look forward to growing old together for a lifetime.
Even Le Qi's expression froze slightly, but her angle was not easy to be noticed, and she smiled innocently when she raised her head again.
"It's okay, Amma said let me marry you."
But before she finished speaking, the face of the respected envoy next to her sank, and she asked in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" β
The emperor knew that he couldn't dodge, so he sneered to ease the atmosphere at the moment, and said with a smile: "Mu Aiqing does have a wife, Princess Le Qi is afraid that she will be wronged if she marries, it is better to look at the other courtiers in the palace, if you see me, I can personally guide the marriage of the two of you." β
When a group of courtiers heard this, their gazes at Le Qi became more unscrupulous, some of them were elegant scholars, and some of them had an aristocratic atmosphere.
"Cut!"
Suddenly, at this time, an extremely discordant voice appeared.
The little marquis Shangguan Yu looked at all this with disdain, very arrogant, just now he glanced at Le Qi's micro-expression.
He didn't think that the woman in front of him was really smart and innocent, these courtiers were so blind that they really didn't know what their heads were made of!
When Le Qi heard this voice, her innocent face flashed dark.
This man actually disdains her, you must know that whether she is in Pangbang or all the way to Dongyue Kingdom, she is in the limelight.
But she was just a little angry and didn't show it, her eyes were still looking at Mu Chen, as if she hadn't heard Shangguan Yu's disdain.
At this time, the envoy of Pan State was not satisfied with the emperor's answer, and looked at the emperor with an angry face.
"The man of my Pan Kingdom is brave and good at fighting, and the only one who can be worthy of Princess Leqi is General Mu Chen, I don't know what the emperor means now? Could it be that you can't look down on Princess Leqi? β
The emperor's face was also slightly gloomy, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this!
"Of course not, the envoy is serious, but you also listened to General Mu's answer just now."
The messenger's face was like sauce, which was not at all the same as the budget when he first came, and he was about to speak out again to express his excitement, but he was stopped by Le Qi beside him.
"Princess Ben doesn't mind, I'm willing to give General Mu half a month to deal with this matter."
However, Mu Chen was furious.
He snorted coldly, and his gaze as deep as ice slag fell on Le Qi, "The minister doesn't know what Princess Le Qi means, but the minister only has Yue'er in his heart, and he has no intention of marrying other women." β
Princess Le Qi frowned slightly, the man in front of her was handsome and chic, and he was so cold, I have to say that he successfully attracted her interest.
Heh, don't marry her?
Do you think she has no way to force him to marry?
"I have long heard that General Mu has a cold temperament, but now it is true when I see it, but Ama said that I will only marry General Mu."
The emperor was also embarrassed after hearing this, this Princess Leqi seemed innocent and cute, but she was persecuting him with the lord of Pan Guo.
"This ...... General Mu, why don't you go back and think about it first and answer? β
Mu Chen frowned coldly, and said coldly: "The minister has nothing to think about, the emperor should understand what the minister means." β
"General Mu Chen, are you planning to start a war for our Pan Kingdom?" The envoy was furious, but when he saw Mu Chen's cold gaze sweeping over, he was stunned all of a sudden.
Mu Chen didn't answer, his hand was behind his back, and the meaning was obvious.
He won't marry Princess Leqi, but if there is a war, he is always welcome!
Unexpectedly, Le Qi smiled innocently and said, "Don't talk yet, and please don't misunderstand what the emperor means, he is too worried about me." β
The emperor nodded his head, but his face was not good-looking.
As a big country, if he didn't want the people to be implicated and suffer, why did he have to suffer so much?
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Le Qi grinned, "Actually, why should General Mu be embarrassed?" I have already fallen in love with you, even if I am made a concubine, I am willing. β
Rumble!
As soon as these words came out, the people in the entire hall could not be calm.
Is this a joke?
The princess of a country came to Dongyue Kingdom to marry a general as a concubine, and she was not afraid of people's jokes when it was passed out?
In fact, not only the ministers of Dongyue Kingdom were shocked, but even the foreign envoys were shocked and looked at Le Qi in disbelief.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Princess, why do you have to be so wronged?" β
Lucky secretly cleared the messenger's clothes and lowered her voice with a smile, but to outsiders she was just smiling.
"Don't worry about me, this princess already has a way to subdue this General Mu, and sooner or later the position of the general's wife will only be mine."
The messenger remembered Le Qi's temperament, although their princess was naΓ―ve, but in fact she was ruthless, and she was not an easy lord to be bullied.
Thinking like this, he wasn't worried.
When Mu Chen heard Le Qi's words, his sword-like eyebrows were also raised, and a touch of shock flashed in his eyes when he looked at the foreign woman who was smiling at him not far away.
"Princess Leqi has a noble status, and I ask Princess Leqi to take back her fate, but the minister can't afford it."
If that were the case, he would have no better reason to refuse the marriage.
And if Yue'er knew, she would definitely not feel good.
Le Qi looked at him with clear eyes, and said with an innocent smile: "It's okay, people who grew up on the prairie since childhood are not eclectic, I say that if you can afford it, you can afford it." β
Mu Chen frowned tightly and looked at the emperor, hoping that he could stand up and help him out of the siege.
Seeing this, the emperor thought about the old relationship for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Marriage is a big deal, Princess Le Qi must have been tired all the way, or the matter of marriage will be discussed for a while." β
Le Qi thought thoughtfully, and quickly nodded in agreement.
Her goal has been achieved, presumably Song Mingyue knows what is going on in the palace tonight, and her mood will definitely not be calm, and then it will be the best time for her.
When the emperor saw her agree, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sent a minister to escort Le Qi back to the station.
When the ministers left, the emperor left Mu Chen.
The news in the palace was like a fly, and immediately ran to the ears of the Queen Mother, and she rushed to the palace very angrily when she heard the news.
"Rebel! I will never approve of the marriage between a foreign princess and General Mu, regardless of whether this princess wants a wife or a concubine. β
Song Mingyue is her life-saving benefactor and the benefactor of Dongyue Kingdom.
And Mu Chen is a general with great achievements, and he is also kind to the royal family.
If such two people are really separated, the impact on Dongyue Kingdom in the future will be much the same, and I have to say that Pan Bang's mind is deep.
The emperor's face was like sauce, but he could only say with a shy face when he was taught by his old mother: "Queen Mother, you already know about this?" β
"Such a big thing, can the mourning family not know? No matter what method you use in this marriage, you must refuse. β
"This ......" the emperor was embarrassed.
Mu Chen was silent, he wanted to know the emperor's thoughts, but the queen mother stood up to help, which also made him secretly relieved.
"What is this? General Mu is the hero of the Celestial Empire, and the bright moon girl is our benefactor, do you want the people of the world to see the joke and chill the hearts of the people of the Celestial Empire? β
The emperor was silent, which was his negligence, "I know what to do." β
The Queen Mother looked at him and sighed in disappointment, not talking about him, but looking at Mu Chen, "It's getting late, General Mu should go back first." β
"Hmm." Mu Chen snorted lightly, and glanced at the Queen Mother with gratitude on his face before retreating.
After he went back, he did not return to Qinglanwan, but came to the study, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
The next day, early in the morning.
Mu Chen's handsome face was thick with exhaustion, but it still couldn't hide the unquenchable sorrow in his deep eyes.
He stood outside the courtyard of Qinglanwan, looking at the closed door with deep eyes, and his good-looking brows were furrowed.
"General." Xiao Ye came back from shopping for the day's ingredients, and saw him hurriedly respectfully.
Mu Chen nodded calmly and said, "Well, is Madam up?" β
"No, does the general need me to wake up Madame?"
Last night, she saw that the lights in Song Mingyue's house went out late, and according to habit, she was still asleep at this time.
Mu Chen shook his head thoughtfully and said, "No need, I'll go by myself." β
"Yes, the slave and maid retreated first."
Mu Chen snorted lightly, pushed open the door with a long step, and saw the woman sleeping on the bed, his heart seemed to be poked by something.
There is a sense of well-being, but more worries and mixed emotions.
