Chu Linyuan originally thought that he could use the hardships of his life, in exchange for the stability of the Liuyun County Lord Mu Tianwan and her husband, but he didn't expect that it would come to naught due to the sudden death of General Mu.

As a son of man, as the last bit of blood of the Mu family, the county lord of Liuyun naturally wanted to keep filial piety for General Mu for three years, and after the three-year filial piety period, the county lord of Liuyun was already nineteen years old, and he had a good time, and at that time, among the nobles of the Dili family, it was impossible to find a woman who was not married at the same age as the lord of Liuyun.

That year, the lord of Liuyun County, who had just been recalled to Beijing, was like a fragrant dumpling in the imperial capital, and the sons of the family who went to the eldest princess's mansion every day to ask for relatives were almost about to step on the threshold of the eldest princess's mansion.

Just as Emperor Qi was choosing a good match for the lord of Liuyun County among the princes and grandsons of the imperial capital, the news of General Mu's death came from the front line.

General Mu has made great achievements for the Great Zhou Dynasty in his life, and the men of the Mu clan have all died on the battlefield, and now they are the only youngest daughter of the eldest princess who is over forty years old.

Because of the old general Mu sacrificed his life for the country, the lord of Liuyun County was going to wear linen and filial piety for his father for three years according to filial piety, and after three years, the lord of Liuyun County, who had expired his filial piety, had been delayed from a girl in the prime of his life to an old girl secretly discussing behind the back of the noble daughter of the imperial capital.

Back then, those noble princes of the imperial capital who had broken through the threshold of the eldest princess's mansion did not come to the door to propose marriage again, that is, Emperor Qi summoned him to choose a son-in-law for the lord of Liuyun County, and no one was willing to undertake the holy decree.

Those noble sons who are afraid to avoid the Liuyun County Lord after a lapse of three years, not only because the Liuyun County Lord has been delayed from the jasper years to become an old girl to be married, so they are avoiding Emperor Qi's recruitment, just imagine that although the Liuyun County Lord has been delayed for three years, he has just turned nineteen years old, plus the eldest princess's mansion is noble, even if the Liuyun County Lord is a few years older, there are still people who are willing to marry this noble wife.

The real reason why those noble sons really didn't dare to ask for marriage was that the court situation at that time was also a situation where Prince Heng Shangguan Qingqiao and Prince Yu Shangguan Hanyue were equally divided.

Prince Heng Shangguan Qingyu relied on the Xiao family behind him, and Prince Yu Shangguan Hanyue relied on the eldest princess's mansion with military power in his hands.

Three years ago, General Mu had not yet died, and the eldest princess held one-half of the military power in the Great Quarter, if anyone married the lord of Liuyun County, as a county horse, he might also have the support of Emperor Qi in the future and share the military power in the north.

But later, due to the sudden death of General Mu Lao, one-half of the military power of the Great Fourth has fallen into the hands of Chu Linyuan, who is the righteous brother of the county lord of Liuyun, and now he is in his heyday, and he is like a god with soldiers, brave and good at fighting, Emperor Qi will not move the idea of distributing the military power to the county horse after all, 10,000 steps back, even if Emperor Qi is afraid of Chu Linyuan and wants to divide the military power, but the righteous brother is different from the righteous father, he can swear allegiance to the Mu family but may not be willing to share the military power in his hand to the county horse who married the county lord.

If you don't get the real military power, the county horse who married the lord of Liuyun County will be just an empty shell, not to mention that the battle for the prince is becoming increasingly fierce now, and the eldest princess's mansion that supports Prince Yu may not have a very good chance of winning, in case of defeat in the future, wouldn't the county horse who married the lord of Liuyun have to lose his own life, and even the entire family will suffer together, and the marriage of those people is actually tied to interests, weighing the pros and cons, Those noble sons who wanted to ask to marry the Liuyun County Lord in the past naturally wanted to avoid the Liuyun County Lord.

What's more, Shangguan Hanyue at that time was unwilling to see the Liuyun County Lord become a pawn in a political marriage, and always found various reasons to frequently enter and leave the eldest princess's mansion, and good people would naturally spread that the famous Prince Yu actually fell in love with the Liuyun County Lord regardless of human ethics, but he was always blocked out of the mansion by the high-minded and arrogant Liuyun County Lord.

Although Shangguan Hanyue is the same age as the Lord of Liuyun County, they are separated by generations, the eldest princess, the mother of the Lord of Liuyun, is the aunt of Emperor Qi, and according to the rules, all the princes of Emperor Qi are to be honored as Aunt of Liuyun County Lord.

According to the ritual system, the princes and princesses of Emperor Qi all want to be honored as Aunt of Liuyun County Lord, but because the eldest princess is an old woman, even Emperor Qi's youngest daughter Shangguan Yunxin is only five years younger than Liuyun County Lord, and Shangguan Qingqiao is even five years older than Liuyun County Lord.

As a result, everyone tacitly ignored the issue of seniority, and only honored the lord of Liuyun County.

The princes and princesses who are all nobles of the Son of Heaven are unwilling to call a county lord who is about the same age as themselves an aunt, and the county lord of Liuyun is also open-minded, so naturally he is not willing to worry too much about the titles with the princes and princesses.

Since the three years of filial piety delayed the marriage of the lord of Liuyun County, the marriage of the lord of Liuyun has been put on hold.

Chu Linyuan, who was far away in the north, heard that the marriage of the Liuyun County Lord had been shelved, and he was also anxious in his eyes, and he also sent a message to test the mind of the Liuyun County Lord.

The county lord of Liuyun and Chu Linyuan grew up together since childhood, and they were also deeply attached to Chu Linyuan when they were young, they all said that the eldest brother was like a father, although Chu Linyuan was not the brother of the county lord of Liuyun, but the county lord of Liuyun regarded Chu Linyuan as the most respected brother in his heart.

is the most respected person of the Liuyun County Lord, and the Liuyun County Lord naturally will not hide Chu Linyuan, her daughter's careful thinking, even if the Liuyun County Lord is a sassy and heroic daughter in the eyes of the world, but in front of Chu Linyuan, she is still the little girl who will be tired of being coquettish in his arms back then.

Chu Linyuan has no father or mother, and all the worries in this life are only the Liuyun County Lord, after learning that the Liuyun County Lord's thoughts on Shangguan Hanyue, he was also glad that among the thousands of children in this world, there was finally an excellent man who could enter the eyes of the Liuyun County Lord and make him look down.

It was also from the moment he knew the mind of the Lord of Liuyun that Chu Linyuan had the idea of supporting Shangguan Hanyue to the throne, since he liked the girl from childhood to adulthood, he, as a brother, naturally tried his best to be considerate for her.
