Chapter 278: I haven’t seen you for a few days, and I’m looking at you with admiration.
Even though she received countless curious glances, Mu Yun tried her best to calm her mind and be able to better observe Emperor Pingren's expression.
Mu Yun was most afraid that he would have the feeling that Zhuo Lingchu was trying to take advantage of him by taking advantage of his kindness, and then reject Zhuo Lingchu's plea on the spot.Jinkou Yuyan said that once Emperor Pingren spoke in public to stop Zhuo Lingchu's thoughts, it would be difficult to reverse the situation afterwards.
Although the surrender conditions in front of her were a pity for the country and the people, she knew that Emperor Heiren would never sell his daughter for glory. Even if the neighboring countries attacked the city gate, if his daughter I am unwilling and will not make the decision to force a marriage.
If the world's peace and prosperity can only be bought with women, a country ruled by such a cowardly emperor will not be far away from changing dynasties.
Mu Yun regretted a little. When she returned to Beijing yesterday, she should have confessed to Emperor Pingren that she already knew Zhuo Lingchu's identity. She should also tell him that she also liked this person, and she was willing to do so as long as it did not harm the national justice. Be with him.
However, it is really difficult to understand Emperor Heiren's expression at this moment.The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and Mu Yun is really not sure what decision he will make, so he has to take a preemptive strike.She mustered up her courage, lifted up the corners of her palace skirt, walked lightly to Zhuo Lingchu's side, and fluttered on the ground like a butterfly fluttering its wings, wearing a gorgeous palace dress embroidered with peony patterns.
"Father, I beg you to wait until the banquet before making a decision on this matter."
Zhuo Lingchu, who was hanging his head next to him, turned his head to look at Mu Yun. The girl in front of him straightened her lips and her straight back showed her inner courage and lack of regret to the world.
This is the person he loves. He is willing to give everything he has. As long as he can get her, no matter what he is asked to do, he will never look back.
What does his status as a prince mean, what does his title as God of War mean? His pursuit in two lives is just to be with her, and all worldly things are just wings for him to achieve his wishes. So what if he cuts them off at the right time.
Although Mu Yun's move pushed herself to the forefront of the storm, even if she no longer wanted to be in the limelight, she could not continue to hide in a corner.Love always runs in both directions, how could she let Zhuo Lingchu bear everything alone?
The sound of a pindrop could be heard in the hall for a while, and after a long while, a faint female voice came from above the head.
"Since the second prince has expressed his attitude and shown so much sincerity to His Majesty, Yun Lan might as well say what is on his mind. This matter can be settled today," Empress Xiao looked at Zhuo Ling with satisfaction. Chu said, "Yun Lan is about to get haircut. I think the second prince is graceful and handsome as jade. If he can find such a good son-in-law, I, as the queen, will be quite satisfied."
Empress Xiao's little thoughts are clearly written on her face. It would be great for the little fairy Yun Lan to marry a neighboring country in the future. Finally, she no longer has to worry about being punished by her all the time.Moreover, all the "private gifts" presented by the second prince of Xichang were sent to her heart.What if this marriage fails and the second prince regrets it and takes back those rare treasures in the world in anger?Of course she had to put in a good word for him.
Emperor Pingren glanced at Empress Xiao coldly and did not answer her words. Instead, he still said with an indistinguishable expression: "Since ancient times, marriage has been a matter of parents' order and matchmaker's words. As the most noble person in Dashuo, Yun Lan Princess Chao, marriage cannot be decided easily, and it involves two countries. It is a serious matter, and as Yi Yunlan said, I will make a decision after the banquet."
Emperor Heiren held a breath in his heart. The daughter he had raised for less than a year was about to be abducted by a foreign prince. How could he not be angry?But even though he wanted to refuse directly, he swallowed the words stuck in his throat when he saw Mu Yun's worried expression.
If he offends Zhuo Lingchu now, Yun Lan will definitely be very sad.
Since Yun Lan gave both parties a step up, they might as well follow what she said.He raised his hand for a moment and motioned for everyone in front of him to stand up, "It's past noon and it's almost time for the banquet to begin. Come on, Second Prince, please take a seat and come and try our Dashuo delicacies. Oh, no, I guess you know Dashuo's special delicacies. No less than me."
Zhuo Lingchu stood up with his forehead corners bulging.His future father-in-law is very good at yin and yang.He glanced at Mu Yun who was standing up lightly beside him, and secretly suppressed the urge to help her up.
Dashuo adheres to the etiquette more than Xichang. Men and women do not sit at the same table at the banquet, let alone physical contact.
After Mu Yun stood up, she glanced at Zhuo Lingchu with a smile in her eyes, but the coldness in her eyes suddenly made Zhuo Lingchu's body tremble.
Well, he was wrong, he shouldn't have given her such a big surprise.
After sitting down, Mu Yun lowered her eyes and felt the envious, curious, or amusing looks from around her.As for Zhuo Lingchu, he also felt the envious, angry, or murderous looks of the men around him.
The women were envious of Princess Yunlan for being favored by the noble, wealthy and handsome second prince, while the men were angry that the second prince of a neighboring country wanted to take away the most beautiful woman in their hearts. This scene should have been solemn and awe-inspiring, but it also showed the prosperity of Dashuo. It was a state banquet for a powerful country, but the people at the banquet had various thoughts. Faced with the delicacies on the table, they were a little bit overwhelmed but didn't know the taste.
After the luncheon, Mu Yun tacitly winked at Zhuo Lingchu and motioned for him to follow her to Emperor Pingren's Yixin Palace.
After Eunuch Cao looked at Zhuo Lingchu for a few more times, he suddenly realized that the second prince was probably the masked guard who got off Muyun's carriage yesterday.
Walking on the corridor leading to Yixin Palace, Eunuch Cao was leading the way with a fly whisk in hand, as if he were the Grand Eunuch in front of the emperor, and he did not forget to wink at Mu Yun behind him.
Eunuch Cao: Your Highness, I haven’t seen you for a few days. You really impress me.
Mu Yun: Hehe, you are allowed to hide your beauty in the golden house, but I am not allowed to hide you in the carriage.
Eunuch Cao: Come on, you can’t hide anyone. One vote will get you a big one. He is the God of War. Are you sure you can control him in the future?
Zhuo Lingchu forced in a rather serious look: I am willing to be controlled by Jun'er.
Eunuch Cao: Yes, you should express your stance to His Majesty.
Mu Yun: Cousin-in-law, I’m going to speak to your future brother-in-law later.
Eunuch Cao: Yes, with your title, this will help.
