The Aloof Prince Chapter 24 - Why not refuse?

Not knowing why, after the Imperial Concubine Qin`s declaration about Mu Yunjin and Chu Li marriage, the originally lively atmosphere inside the hall suddenly became dark and gloomy. Especially Emperor Xi Ming, just a moment ago his countenance still contains a trace of smile, but after Imperial Concubine Qin spoke, his complexion immediately stiffened and his eyebrows slightly wrinkled. The crowd saw this, they obviously felt the Emperor did not agree to this marriage. Below, Mu Yunjin naturally felt the change in Emperor Xi Ming`s mood, she can`t help but be secretly relieved, her heart secretly thought, `Right, by all means, do not agree to this marriage!`

“Emperor son, what do you think of this marriage? Originally, me and Old Madam Mu exchanged confidence in this matter, we of the Imperial household must always keep our promises, and must absolutely not break them. ”

Imperial Concubine Qin saw her son does not approve of the marriage, so she laid down her argument. Emperor Xi Ming looked at the Imperial Concubine, after an awkward moment he did not open his mouth to speak, he faintly sighed. This marriage, naturally he knows about it from the beginning, even before Chu Li and Mu Yun Jin was born. Imperial Concubine Qin already spoke with him regarding this matter. At that time, he thinks if the receiving party is the Mu Family`s daughter of the first wife, to accompany his son, she will still be pretty good. Who would have thought after many years, this Mu Family`s daughter will become the b.u.t.terfly Flower City`s biggest joke. Completely lacking ability and insight, submissive conduct and small-minded. This kind of woman, how can she match his son that he is so proud of. But everyone is aware that the Imperial Concubine Qin and the Old Madam Mu already had an agreement, if he overturn this now, he can`t say for sure if the whole realm would ridicule and laugh at him for breaking one`s promise. However if he gives consent, in his opinion, Mu Yunjin can only be Chu Li`s Concubine, the position of the Princ.i.p.al Wife, she is not qualified anyway. But to demand the Mu Family`s daughter to become the prince`s concubine, he is afraid that the Prime Minister`s side will not necessarily agree to this matter, Prime Minister Mu has been his subject for 30 years, he is loyal and devoted, if because of this matter a rift may form between ruler and subject, the gains do not make up for the losses. Thinking of such thing made Emperor Xi Ming`s head in disarray. He was confused. The Empress Dowager Zheng saw his troubles, she smiled and spoke up,

“Actually, I think the Imperial Concubine is excessively concentrated on this arranged betrothal.”“Originally, when this promise of marriage was made, Li`er and Third Miss Mu have not been born, it might be just a casual joke between adults.” “Now the children has grown up, they might have their own opinion, they might not necessarily think that the other person is in their hearts, Imperial Concubine is it worth the trouble to stubbornly bind this two people together?”

Mu Yunjin almost stood up and applaud at Empress Dowager Zheng. Although she knew that Empress Dowager Zheng is not an easy person, however her words are really pleasing to her ears. Precisely, who wants to marry that cold log of wood. She subconsciously looked at Chu Li, she saw his indifferent eyes drooped down, at this moment she cannot see his facial expression. Emperor Xi Ming heard the Empress Dowager`s words, and also approved of this point. Actually if only it is not Mu Yunjin, if it was the other official`s daughters, they are also good, so he can accept. Unfortunately, Imperial Concubine Mother chose this person with worst reputation for Chu Li. The Imperial Concubine, seeing that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor do not agree to this marriage, immediately became angry, but because of everyone present she forced a smile.

“Empress Dowager Zheng, for what reason do you conclude that this two children does not want this marriage? From what I know, they met in private a few times, including last night, Li`er also accepted Yun Jin`s invitation to eat dinner at the Prime Minister`s residence.”

Then down below, surprised sounds echoed at Imperial Concubine Qin`s words, everyone was astonished. The sixth prince accepted Third Miss Mu`s invitation to dine at the Prime Minister`s Residence?

This........

Those who knows Chu Li well, knows that if he does not like to do things then no one can force him. To go to the Prime Minister`s residence to dine, surely it must be voluntary. Mu Yunjin is met with numerous meaningful glances from start to finish, she bit her lip, she cannot conceal anything from the Imperial Concubine Qin. She originally called Chu Li to dine just to annoy Mu Lingzhu. This is just great, in a crazy way it has become a clear evidence of meeting in`private many times`.

The Empress Dowager`s words of taking it lightly was met by Imperial Concubine Qin`s words which recovered some lost ground, she cannot help but tightly grip her sleeves, and looked towards her lower left,

“Today, Old General Qin, I actually recall Muyue that child is all grown up.”

Below, An old man bowed toward the Empress Dowager, he laughs,

“I am indebted to the Empress Dowager, for her fondness to Yue`er.”“Muyue was born a daughter, but her spirit is not weaker than the ordinary man. At a young age, she plead her brother to go into battle together, in succession they seized several base cities, truly she is my Xi Yuan Country`s good fortune.”

Empress Dowager, after she spoke highly of this person, her line of sight turn to look at Prince Chu Li,

“I remember, Muyue is fond of Li`er right?”

Empress Dowager Zheng then let everyone understand her meaning. Her original intention is to bring together the sixth prince and Miss Qin. Once again the people clamored, Mu Yunjin listening to them talk, is already a little sleepy.

Empress Dowager Zheng, still thought of this Qin Muyue. This girl on the battlefield, is really quite amazing. She cannot help but remember the last time at the plum flower garden, Imperial Concubine`s sarcastic mouth calling her out making the Empress Dowager Zheng look unwell, surely counting on Qin Muyue is only right.

At the hall, Emperor Xi Ming and Empress Dowager Zheng stand in a rare united front, Empress Dowager practically completed the very thoughts in his mind. Indeed, he is interested in betrothing Qin Muyue and Chu Li. Qin Muyue personally went to battle to fight, so heroic, together with Chu Li she is a better match. Speaking of Qin Muyue, Emperor Xi Ming looked down on Mu Yunjin even more.

The Imperial Concubine Qin saw his son is being completely led by the nose by the Empress Dowager. Her anger welling up, at the side, the Empress was silently looking on and not saying a word. The Empress eyes made contact with the Imperial Concubine Qin meaningful glance, with slightly pursed lips, smilingly spoke.

“Emperor, I think this tangled matter to us is useless, Is it not better to ask the sixth prince of his views?”

Emperor Xi Ming who was carrying a wine cup faintly paused, and he glance towards Chu Li, his eyebrows knitted, he thinks Chu Li is old enough to differentiate right and wrong and has the ability to understand clearly, so he nodded.

“Li`er, what do you think of this matter?”

He toss the final decision to Chu Li, Mu Yunjin`s knotted heart is suddenly released, incomparably relieved. Very good, handing it to Chu Li she felt rea.s.sured. At the side, Mu Lingzhu is biting her lips, her eyebrows wrinkled, she had complex feelings, a moment ago she finally understand the Empress Dowager Zheng she regarded and listened to. Even if there is no Mu Yunjin there is still the General`s daughter Qin Muyue in front of her. Could it be that she, Mu Lingzhu really has no chance? No, she does not believe it!

..........

Chu Li at this time is leaning on his chair, Emperor Xi Ming dropped his name, he looks indolent, he sweeps his eyes over Mu Yunjin sitting across of him. From a moment ago up to now, Mu Yunjin`s expression changes, he took in the whole scene at once. When Imperial Concubine Qin mentioned her name, she pursed her lips, clearly looked nervous, but when she heard his father emperor decide to give him the authority to decide, she was immediately relieved. It seems this little fox is unwilling to pursue this marriage. Chu Li looked at this play, suddenly in his serene and deep eyes a crisp and clear streak of evil light crossed, as he looked at Mu Yunjin calmly and unhurried, he lazily opened his mouth to talk.

“Please allow this son to think about this matter for a few days.”

Another uproar was heard, they did not mishear right? the sixth prince unexpectedly haven`t firmly refused, instead he wants to think it over for a few days, could it be that he really fell for Mu Yunjin?

On her seat, Mu Yunjin is wide eyed, stunned she looked over to Chu Li, in her mind she secretly cursed, this Chu Li must be insane!

Such a good opportunity to actually refuse this marriage! He is sick ah! Mu Yunjin very much want to go straight and beat up Chu Li, but due to the occasion, she has to make an effort to endure silently in her seat motionless. Imperial Concubine Qin at this moment is already smiling, and can`t help but say,

“Mu Yunjin still has two more months before her fifteenth birthday. Li`er, you make an effort to think about it carefully.”

And then she cast a provocative look towards the Empress Dowager Zheng.

..........

After the banquet finished, Mu Yunjin let Mu Xiarou follow the Prime Minister home, while she went to the direction of Chu Li following his path walking all the way to a secluded garden. Mu Yunjin finally caught up with Chu Li, then she yelled,

“Sixth prince, please wait.”

The figure in front immediately stopped. She trot past and walked around Chu Li, still subconsciously putting her right hand behind her body.

“What is it?”

Chu Li glanced faintly at Mu Yunjin. Mu Yunjin twitched her mouth, annoyed she spoke,

“Why didn`t you just refuse this marriage?” “You want this prince to reject?”

Chu Li raised his eyebrow, and looked at Mu Yunjin, his face clear as the sky.

“You did not refuse, Is it possible you really want to marry me?”

Mu Yunjin asked. Chu Li heard what she said, he chuckled, and in his originally indifferent face appeared a faint smile.

“If this prince really wants to marry you, Is there a reason that I cannot?”“It is not that you cannot, I simply have conditions.”

Mu Yunjin crossed her arms, not in the least afraid of meeting Chu Li head on.

“To marry me, you have to guarantee the Imperial Princess position to me, and you must not take anymore concubine. Can you do that?”

Mu Yunjin teased. Leaving aside Chu Li`s status now, if in the future he is conferred crown prince, he will one day become the Xi Yuan Country`s emperor. Even if he does not become crown prince, it is also possible he will be conferred a t.i.tle of King (w.a.n.g), this kind of influential person how could he have only one wife.

At the side, Ding Xian carrying a lantern is bored of listening to Chu Li and Mu Yunjin, until Mu Yunjin`s bold declaration, Ding Xian sobered. This Third Miss Mu is not normal!

Listening to Mu Yunjin`s conditions, Chu Li`s tranquil eyes, slightly wavered with a trace of something different, soon after he approached Mu Yunjin, and calmly looked straight at her.

“This matter, You haven`t asked this prince of his financial conditions.”

Mu Yunjin suddenly felt angry as she immediately extended her hand and spread her palm, and roguely said,

“Well, since I have not heard your financial conditions, it is inconvenient for the sixth prince to take hold of the Jade ornament and you can return it to me, I do not want to do business!”

I think Yunjin`s heart is feeling like a roller coaster, when she thinks she will marry her heart accelerates in trepidation and when she thinks she is not gonna marry, her heart is calm in relief.

And now I think that Yunjin is digging her own grave this time. I think she is running her mouth first, then does the thinking after.
