This is how the marriage proposal came about, the king of Anping County has a sister, a county lord named Qin Ling, she liked Xie Chongning a long time ago, and after Qin Xu watched the banquet, the emperor invited the two of them and Xie Chongning to the imperial garden to taste tea.

The emperor was asking if he had any undesirable girls, but before Qin Xu could answer, Qin Ling stood in the gang and muttered in a low voice, "Uncle Emperor, why do you pay attention to my brother alone, I am actually at the age of getting married." ”

The emperor smiled, and was diverted by Qin Ling, "Oh? Our Ling'er girl has a sweetheart? ”

Qin Ling's shy look smashed into Xie Chongning's body, "Who do I like, don't you know?" She smiled shyly, pursed her lips and wrung her handkerchief worriedly.

The emperor smiled heartily, and did not break it, and once again brought the topic back to Qin Xu, "You see that your sister doesn't need me to worry about it, so what about you?" On the day I saw you at the banquet, did I invite a girl over? ”

Xie Chongning's fingertips paused slightly, and his eyes followed Qin Xu. The person the emperor said was none other than Mu Yu, although Mu Yu's identity was not enough to become the princess of Anping County, but if Qin Xu liked it, the emperor might not point out Mu Yu to Qin Xu as a concubine, that was the most terrifying.

Qin Xu glanced at Xie Chongning playfully, "Uncle is urging me to get married, and I can't help it." He didn't say the name of Mu Yu.

The emperor nodded Qin Xu, "You kid, every time I speak, you agree quickly, but I've never seen you do it." ”

"Where, I listen to my uncle the most, isn't this unreliable?" Qin Xu smirked, "Uncle, don't always urge me, look at Lord Xie, who is a few months older than me, isn't he alone now?" ”

It seemed that with Qin Xu on the side, the emperor turned his head and asked Xie Chongning again, "You kid, I can be regarded as growing up, if you have a girl you like, tell me, I will give you a marriage." ”

"Uncle!" Qin Ling screamed shyly, as if to remind the emperor.

Xie Chongning's face was embarrassed, and he squirmed his thin lips twice, looking like he had something to say.

The emperor naturally also saw his abnormality, "Do you have something to say to me?" ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, Weichen already has someone he likes in his heart." Xie Chongning thought for a while.

Qin Ling sat aside, the smile on his face became more and more obvious, and he shyly guessed in his heart whether Xie Chongning was going to ask the emperor's uncle to marry the two of them.

Who would have thought that Xie Chongning didn't even glance at Qin Ling, and continued, "It's the young lady of the Luanping Marquis Mansion, named Mu Yu. ”

"Oh? Luanping Marquis Mansion? The emperor was puzzled, and then asked, "I remember that you were taken care of by the Luanping Marquis Mansion when you were a child, so you fell in love with the young lady of the Luanping Marquis Mansion?" And this Mu rumor seems to be the girl Qin Xu invited to watch the banquet.

Qin Ling was shocked and angry, Xie Chongning didn't even say her own name, she stomped her feet under the table anxiously, just wanting to get the attention of the emperor's uncle.

"Exactly." Xie Chongning replied solemnly.

The emperor nodded, and his gaze moved to Qin Xu, "What kind of girl is this Mu rumor, who can make Xie Aiqing so unforgettable?" ”

Qin Xu smiled lightly, "Uncle doesn't know, Miss Mu is the girl I invited to my banquet, and she was sitting next to Master Xie at that time. ”

Xie Chongning raised his eyelids slightly, his slender eyelashes left a shadow under his eyelids, thinking about the meaning of Qin Xu's words, and in a trance he understood what Qin Xu was doing, the corners of his mouth hooked upward, and he stopped talking.

"Is there such a thing?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. "Could it be that you also like Miss Mu?"

"Uncle, you look down on me, don't you know my temperament? A girl who is too gentle is not suitable for me, I just saw that Miss Mu was a little smarter, so I invited her casually. Qin Xu shook his head, but denied the fact that he liked Mu Yu.

Qin Xu was indeed a little interested in Mu Yu at first, but when Fang Xiao told Xie Chongning that he also liked Mu Yao, he lost his mind.

Although he and Xie Chongning have almost no intersection, it is to avoid suspicion in front of the emperor, but in private he has a special heart for Xie Chongning, and he also intends to make Xie Chongning a friend.

It is precisely because of this that he took it into account, pretending to show favor to Mu Yu over and over again, and asked Fang Xiao to reveal it to Xie Chongning over and over again, and at the same time, even at his own banquet, he deliberately arranged the positions of Mu Yu and Xie Chongning together, in order to make Xie Chongning misunderstand further.

And now there is just the emperor to add fuel to the fire, if Xie Chongning really likes Mu Yu, he will definitely take action to prevent himself from making a move on Mu Yu, and sure enough, as he expected, Xie Chongning actually proposed to the emperor directly, and it seems that he has become the old man under the moon for the two.

When he saw Xie Chongning's meaningful smile, he knew that Xie Chongning also understood his good intentions.

"Okay, since Xie Aiqing likes this Mu Yu girl, then I will make an order to give marriage to the two of you." The emperor slapped the table and smiled, and sent the chief manager to bring paper and pencils.

After that, there was a scene where Xie Chongning came to the Luanping Marquis Mansion with the chief administrator of Da Nei. The corners of Xie Chongning's mouth were hooked, and he felt a sense of relief when he heard the chief steward read out the holy decree.

Some people are happy and some are sad, at least none of the faces of the Luanping Marquis Mansion are really happy, Dafang feels sorry for his daughter, and he doesn't want his daughter to marry a cold-blooded and cold-hearted person like Xie Chongning.

Sanfang felt that Mu Yu had just been pushed to get married, but he didn't expect to get married by the emperor again, and although Xie Chongning is only in the third rank now, he is a celebrity around the emperor, and the future is promising, so Mu Yu may climb on their heads in the future.

The old lady hates Xie Chongning, a person who killed her son, she naturally hates him to the core, how can she want someone from the Luanping Marquis Mansion to marry him?

Mu Yi was the most uncontrollable one, he walked up to Xie Chongning angrily, grabbed Xie Chongning's collar, and asked through gritted teeth, "Are you the ghost?" ”

"Big brother." Mu Yu stopped Mu Yi worriedly, and hurriedly stepped forward to tear his hand off.

"No, you can't marry him." What kind of person is Xie Chongning? How could Yu'er marry someone as shady as him? If the rumor is married, will there be a good life?

Mu Heyun's face was gloomy, although he was opposed, but the emperor's holy decree had been issued, this was a sure thing, what could he do? "Mu Yi, you come back for me."

"Daddy? Do you want to marry and suffer? Mu Yi retorted dissatisfiedly.

Xie Chongning straightened his clothes, his eyes were serious and serious, "Big brother, don't worry, the rumor follows me, I will never let her suffer at all." ”

Mu Yu was in a dilemma, she didn't want to marry Xie Chongning, but the holy decree had already been issued, where was the chance for her to regret it?

"Heh, you said you wouldn't let the rumor be wronged? How do you want me to trust you? On the surface, this Xie Chongning is a celebrity around the emperor, and his future is immeasurable. But people who are careful about the government know how the emperor is restrained by the cabinet, Xie Chongning is just a chess piece to the emperor, and he is living a precarious life, how can he be stable when he marries?

"Mu Yi!" Mu Heyun roared angrily and called his subordinates, "Come on, take the eldest prince back to the room for me to take care of." ”

Mu Yi was reluctant in every way, but in the end, she was pressed back to the room by her family. Seeing this, Mu Heyun also dispersed everyone, only saying that Xie Chongning and a few people called out to the study to talk alone.

"Xie Chongning, I think that although I have not treated you well, I have also saved your life, and I have the grace of nurturing you, and you repay me like this?" Mu Heyun said in a cold voice with a calm face.

"Hou Ye has the grace of nurturing me, and I, Xie Chongning, am by no means a person who forgets my roots, but this time Hou Ye misunderstood me."

Xie Chongning stood straight, not frightened by Mu Heyun's appearance at all.

Mu Heyun shrugged his shoulders and sneered when he heard this, "Misunderstanding? You covet my rumors, and you dare to say that I misunderstood? ”

Mu Yu pursed his lips the whole time, frowning between his eyebrows and not saying a word. Things are so far different from what she imagined now. She thought that she had avoided history and could let Xie Chongning let go of the Luanping Marquis Mansion, and then spend her life peacefully, but she didn't expect to get herself in.

It's just why did Xie Chongning choose to marry her? He will not get the power, nor the support of the Luanping Marquis Mansion, why did he marry her?

Xie Chongning glanced at Mu Yu, who was frowning, and said earnestly, "The emperor heard that the king of the county invited a special girl to participate in the banquet, and Yu'er sat next to me that day, so I thought that person was Yu'er. ”

"Hehe, you're so easy to deceive me? Even if the king of the county likes rumors, will the emperor give the rumors to the king of the county to marry? The identity and status of the rumors did not help the royal family. Mu Heyun retorted disappreciatively.

Xie Chongning continued calmly, "Since the Hou Ye thought of this, couldn't he have imagined that according to the emperor's love for the county king, maybe he would let Yu'er be a concubine?" ”

Mu Heyun was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly a little speechless. Xie Chongning is right, if the king of Anping County clearly expresses his love for the county, the emperor is very likely to let the county king be a concubine.

Mu Yu looked at Xie Chongning with a smile, was Xie Chongning just out of concern for himself, so he begged the emperor to give him a marriage? But how can marriage be a child's play, he casually married a woman he didn't like, is it really okay?

Xie Chongning saw Mu Heyun's expression change abruptly, and continued to say tactfully, "The Luanping Marquis Mansion has someone to save my life, and the rumor is like a sister to me, and she is not far away from her marrying the king of the county and suffering." ”

"Yes...... But you can't ask the emperor to marry the two of you. Mu Heyun patted his thigh, knowing in his heart that the king of the county was indeed not the two, but he also regretted that this Xie Chongning was the two of them.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, I won't let Yu'er suffer." Xie Chongning said.

Even though Mu Heyun was reluctant in his heart, but compared with the two, one was a concubine and the other was a lady in the main room, in the end, it was better on Xie Chongning's side, but it was just a rumor about him.

Mu Yu clasped his hands and looked at Xie Chongning uneasily, just as he collided with the man's deep eyes, with a hint of comfort in his gentleness, as if he wanted to reassure her.
