”Your Majesty, this subject has something to say.” Mu Qingge opened his mouth and spoke in an unforced manner. As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Lianjin who was seated at the side with the corner of his eyes.
”Your majesty, please forgive me. Qingge was too spoiled by my sister.” Princess Min stood up and bowed.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor An didn't take offense to it, but laughed out loud. ”We have always liked songs, so Royal Sis doesn't have to be modest. Listen and see, what she wants to say.”
”Yes sir!” Princess Min could only sit down and read through his eyes.
As Su Li held the wine cup, even though he sat far away from Mo Lianjin, he could still see that when Mu Qingge looked at him, the arrogance on his body had completely turned into tenderness.
But …
Mo Lianjin was as cold as ice. Facing Mu Qingge's adoring gaze, he acted like nothing had happened and did not even give her a single glance.
”Before Brother Jin went to the Fringe, this subject's daughter liked to play by his side. At that time, this subject wanted to marry Brother Jin and have fun with him for the rest of her life.”
Mu Qingge's words that were neither embarrassed nor bored caused the entire audience to turn silent!
Even the high and mighty Emperor An was so shocked that he almost lost his grip on the wine cup.
”Now that the Brother Jin has returned, this subject's intentions remain the same as before. I hope that the Emperor can grant this subject a marriage on behalf of his beloved daughter.”
After he finished speaking, Mu Qingge kneeled down with a 'putong' sound, as determination shone in his eyes.
The Emperor An did not say a word. His gaze fell on the wine cup as if he was deep in thought.
After Princess Min married into the Marquis Cheng'en Palace, he had control over tens of thousands of troops in the suburbs. Back then, his position was also due to the support of the Marquis Cheng'en Palace.
If he agreed to Mu Qingge marrying into Fifth Prince's Mansion, then the balance that he had created with all his heart would be broken.
If he disagreed, with Mu Qingge's personality, Marquis Cheng'en would probably not be able to handle it. At that time, when a paper was handed over, he would be in an even more difficult situation.
He had originally planned to let Mu Qingge be with Mo Lianyun, and with this, his sons would become a tripod.
”Please grant me your wish, Your Majesty.” Mu Qingge opened his mouth again and his eyes started to turn red.
Emperor An looked at Mo Lianjin.
When Su Qianyue saw this scene, he finally could not hold it in and ridiculed Su Li, ”Fifth Prince must be so adored by Princess Qingge. Fourth Sister should return to the residence as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for us.”
”From the looks of it, you and Princess Qingge are the same. You're just a person who admires the crown prince and a person who admires the Fifth Prince.” Su Li laughed faintly and did not speak any further.
The old lady coldly looked at Shangguan Yao, and Su Qianyue, who was about to refute her words, was immediately pulled by Shangguan Yao, and cried out.
As the two went back and forth, the situation in the hall changed again.
Marquis Cheng'en couldn't bear to see his own daughter being wronged the most. He, who was born as her slave, immediately stood up and greeted her with a bow without paying any attention to the etiquette of a sovereign.
”I hope that Your Majesty can help my daughter. This humble subject is willing to hand over the fifty thousand soldiers in the outskirts.”
Everyone was startled yet again. Emperor An, who was holding onto his wine cup tightened his grip and finally opened his mouth.
”I watched Qingge grow up. She's cute and quick-witted, daring to do things, and has a magnanimous personality. If she goes with Fifth Brother, it would be the fortune of Fifth Brother.”
Hearing that, Mu Qingge was ecstatic: ”The Emperor has promised this subject's daughter?”
If the Marquis Cheng'en could hand over the military power, then the balance would not be broken. To be able to take back the military power in the outskirts was a heavenly blessing.
”I love you, not less than Marquis Cheng'en. I really don't want to see you cry like this …” The Emperor An said, and looked towards Mo Lianjin, ”Fifth brother, you have been at the border for these past few years, I owe you too much. Speaking of which, you are not young anymore, it's time to get a main wife to manage you.”
These words caused the faces of the princes and princes to change.
