Prince Youchuan cupped his hands and said, "I like painting and calligraphy. Recently, I heard in Dongdu that there is a painter named Qingfeng Gongzi who has extraordinary skills. I would like to learn from him and ask for advice."
"It's just that this painter is very mysterious. The dragon has not yet seen its head and tail, so I asked His Majesty the Emperor to search for it on his behalf."
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the banquet had different expressions. Qi Chuchu and Muchen looked at each other, and then looked at Prince Youchuan in tacit understanding.
Why did he focus on Mr. Qingfeng? Shouldn't he be asking to marry Yun Luoran?
Concubine Yun Gui, who was sitting upright, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was not asking to marry her sister at the banquet.
Mu Chenjing had also heard of Mr. Qingfeng. That was because the Empress Dowager got a painting from her. She liked it very much. The author of the painting was Mr. Qingfeng.
"I remember that the emperor's grandmother also had a painting of Mr. Qingfeng. The emperor liked it very much. This painter seemed to be a strange person. Then I will draw up a search edict to tell the world, but it depends on whether he can be found. It’s a chance for the prince and Mr. Qingfeng.”
Mu Chenjing agreed, and Youchuan sat back on the table with a smile on his face.
Seeing this opportunity, Yun Feiran offered Mu Chenjing a glass of wine and said, "Your Majesty, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, and I also have an unkind request that I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant."
"That's what you say."
"My little sister Luo Ran is very much in love with His Highness Prince Duan. I really can't bear it. Please ask Your Majesty to make the decision to fulfill my little sister's wish."
After saying this, everyone's eyes naturally fell on Qi Chuchu and Mu Chenduan.
"Oh, Luo Ran actually likes the fifth brother? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Since it's the reunion festival, then-"
"Your Majesty, I dare not delay Miss Yun's marriage." Mu Chenduan interrupted Mu Chenjing.
Yun Feiran smiled sweetly, "What are you talking about, Your Highness, Prince Duan? What's the delay? What's more, you and Princess Duan..."
She wanted to say that she was forced to get married, but after thinking about it, she still felt wrong, so she said, "Besides, my little sister and His Highness Prince Duan have known each other since childhood and have a deep friendship."
"My brother and Miss Yun are just acquaintances, and there is no love between men and women. Besides, the princess has always been weak, and now she is pregnant with great difficulty. How can I let down the princess and make her sad by accepting a new man."
"Now I only want to be with the princess for the rest of my life, and I have nothing else to ask for." Mu Chen said with a serious look on his face.
Yun Feiran froze now, how could this happen? this! At this time, His Royal Highness actually has a deep love for that woman Dugu Qingcheng? In just these few months?
"Sister-in-law is really pregnant?" Zhaoruo said subconsciously, very happy.
The smile on Qi Chuchu's face was stiff, she pulled Muchen Duan's sleeve and whispered, "My lord, you can't talk nonsense like this..."
The hall suddenly became eerily quiet. The veins on Mu Chenjing's hand holding the wine glass were bulging, but his expression was as usual. After Rong Yuan noticed it, she immediately raised her glass and said, "It's a happy event that Princess Duan is pregnant. Everyone should treat them... The couple would like to express their congratulations, Princess Duan is truly worthy of being the fifth brother's trouble-breaker, and she is blessed with profound blessings."
Rong Yuan's words revealed the reason why the two were granted marriage at that time. The congratulations had a different flavor. However, Youchuan didn't know much about it and just raised his glass.
After this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, although Miss Yun Er did not attend, the reputation of Prince Duan and his wife was still discredited because of their unusual love.
Getting on the carriage back home, Qi Chuchu suddenly changed from the fake smile at the banquet to a cold face.
"Mu Chenduan, why did you refuse? Why did you say I was pregnant? I... I stole a child for you out of thin air?"
Hearing this, Mu Chen smiled, hugged Qi Chuchu's shoulders, rubbed them, and said, "Why steal? What if we really have it?"
At this moment, Qi Chuchu was even more furious. She put her elbow on Mu Chen and gave him a blow, "You said it simply! How difficult it is for a woman to give birth to a child. It might even be difficult to give birth! She will also become ugly and ugly. Fat! I said this today, and I don’t know how many people are staring at me, as well as the doctors who asked for my pulse. Wouldn’t the pulse be exposed? "
"Jia'er, I said I will protect you, so there is no need to worry about your pulse. I also know that it is difficult for women to give birth, so I don't ask for a prosperous child, I just hope to let nature take its course. But I only hope that my child will be born in In your heart, I will only love you." Mu Chen said.
He didn't expect Mu Chenduan to say this, and Qi Chuchu's anger suddenly dissipated. But how could he say such words of understanding that it was difficult for a woman to give birth?
"Do you still know that it is not easy for a woman to understand the difficulty of giving birth? I thought His Highness Prince Duan would not care about this."
"Of course I know. When my mother-in-law gave birth to me, she narrowly escaped death and almost died."
Mother concubine? Qi Chuchu turned to look at Mu Chenduan. This was the first time she heard him talk about his mother-in-law.
"Then when did your mother-in-law... leave?"
Mu Chenduan involuntarily grasped Qi Chuchu's hand, but his tone was indifferent. He said, "Three years ago, my father Emperor Long controlled Bintian. People in the Eastern Capital said that my mother and concubine were deeply worried and followed my father. go."
Thinking of what Mu Chenduan had said before, that he had not been able to rush back to the Eastern Capital when the new emperor ascended the throne three years ago, Qi Chuchu suddenly understood why Mu Chenduan was now aiming for the world.
"Do you believe it?" Mu Chen asked.
Qi Chuchu did not answer whether she believed it or not, "No matter what the reason, the mother-in-law should leave with satisfaction. Because she protected her beloved son and was with the person she loved deeply."
After finishing speaking, Mu Chenduan hugged Qi Chuchu into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Jia'er, I hope we can be more perfect than our father, the emperor, and our mother and concubine."
can you? Probably not...
