Rebirth: Missing the Beloved - C107
Mu Xue felt as though she had fallen into an icy cave. She wanted to speak to Mu Yufeng, but he acted as though he didn’t see her.
The emperor also put on his usual dignified airs, no longer showing any signs of affection.
“Mu Xue, why did you do such a thing?” The Emperor said.
Arda also forcefully asked, “Princess Mu Xue, you and I have no enmity with each other, why would you slander me?”
The Third Princess was extremely nervous, but Mu Yufeng was like a turtle that was hiding in its shell.
“Actually …” The third princess stared at Arda and said, “My royal sister is soon going to be married to the prince of Yan Country, Arda. I was unwilling to accept this, so I decided to do it.”
The emperor was doubtful. “You don’t want to accept this? “Why is your heart unwilling to accept this.”
“Because… I also admire Arda. ”
The Third Princess’ words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone’s ears.
No one would have thought that the Third Princess would actually fall in love with the prince of Yan Kingdom, Arda.
However, with this explanation, everything seemed to make sense.
If the Third Princess was fond of Arda, as long as she lied and had her way with him, the Emperor, whose reputation as a princess had been tarnished, might consider replacing the princess who had been married to Arda with the Third Princess.
If it was like this, then it was really stupid, at least in Du Mu Zhou’s opinion.
“Nonsense!” The emperor was fuming. “You are the princess of my dynasty, how can you act so disregarding your reputation?”
Mu Xue sobbed, “Royal Father, I was only jealous that Imperial Sis was able to obtain your bestowal of marriage, so I had no choice but to come up with this plan!”
As for the person in question, Arda, he stood there blankly.
Mu Qing, on the other hand, stared blankly at her younger sister. All of this seemed like a dream. How could Mu Xue fall in love with Arda?
And what would the Emperor choose?
The Second Prince looked at the three of them as if they were watching a good show, “Imperial Father, you have to make a good decision regarding this matter. You can’t let the two princesses marry into the Yan Kingdom.”
It was not as if the two sisters had never worked together before, but it was just that it was too dramatic for Arda. He was just an unfavored prince with a weak body.
Even the empress, who hadn’t made a sound until now, spoke up anxiously, “Your majesty, you have to think twice!”
This is going to be tough for the emperor.
His two daughters had taken a fancy to Arda and had even caused a ruckus at his eldest daughter’s engagement banquet.
Upon hearing these words, the third princess felt a sense of trepidation in her heart. She wasn’t really in love with Arda. What if the emperor really betrothed her to Arda?
Among the two princesses, Mu Qing looked more dignified and dignified, while Mu Xue had a fresh and delicate aura that would arouse pity.
The ministers were all amazed, sighing that Alda, the prince of Yan State, had really enjoyed the happiness of being with the people. Even two princesses of different styles fell in love with him.
The Emperor, on the other hand, was thinking about his country and wanted Mu Qing to marry him.
It was mainly because Mu Xue acted too impulsively, causing Mu Qing to be smarter instead. If there were any conflicts between the two countries in the future, it was still a matter for the princess of the marriage alliance to contend with.
“Although the two of you are the princesses of my dynasty, I have already made an agreement with the Yan Kingdom to marry Mu Qing to the Prince of Yan.”
Mu Qing’s secretly clenched fists finally loosened. If the Emperor really wanted to marry the two princesses, she could only listen to his orders.
The Third Princess, who had disliked Arda in the first place, had to say so in a moment of desperation. She was relieved to hear the Emperor’s decision.
Du Mu Zhou then said to Mu Ling Shao, “I feel that there’s something wrong with Princess Mu Xue.”
“Why?”
Mu Ling Shao gently held her jade-jade-like little hand.
“It’s hard to say, but there’s absolutely no love in the way she looks at Arda.” Du Mu Zhou hit the nail on the head.
If there was love talk, it would definitely be seen.
Just like how Mu Qing looked at Arda.
Seeing that the Emperor had finally made up his mind, the relationship between him and Mu Qing finally came to a conclusion.
“Thank you for helping us, your majesty.”
Although the third princess was not married to Arda, she was confined because of the matters of the day. She could not help but walk around without the permission of the emperor.
She still wanted to plead with the Emperor, but the matter had caused her to lose too much face, so the Emperor didn’t show mercy.
She was determined to teach this daughter a lesson.
The Third Princess was sulking, but there was nothing she could do. Before she left, she could only look at the Second Prince with hidden bitterness.
“Imperial Father, this son knows his wrongs and will never offend again.”
As her voice faded, Mu Xue was led by a group of attendants into confinement.
The banquet continued, but the emperor’s face was no longer as cheerful as before.
Arda let out a breath of relief and returned to his seat beside Mu Qing.
He reached out his hand and gently patted Mu Qing’s shoulder. It was as though Arda was already used to this kind of intimate action.
“Why would Mu Xue suddenly say that today?” Mu Qing was a little puzzled in her heart. “I don’t believe that she was really jealous of me. In my impression, she didn’t see you many times.”
Arda had a special status in the palace, so the princesses would not interact with him too much.
What happened today was too sudden and exceeded everyone’s expectations.
“I don’t know why, but before I even arrived today, I heard my follower say that the three masters had come to see me.” Arda said.
Mu Qing was a little curious. “Why is she here to see you? Did you guys really meet in private? ”
What if Arda secretly had a relationship with Mu Xue … Mu Qing didn’t dare to think about it.
Alda immediately waved his hand and said, “It is definitely not what you think. The meeting between me and the Third Princess was just a coincidence. I was in a hurry to get to the party, but who knew I had a bad stomach. ”
“When I came out of my room, I saw Mu Yufeng and the Third Princess together.”
After that, it was as Arda had said from the beginning. The third princess had been rude to him and even brought his country with her. Yet, Mu Yufeng had left.
However, Mu Qing secretly remembered that Mu Yufeng was also present at the scene.
Before she could react, Arda swore to the heavens, “I’m not secretly in contact with the Third Princess. There’s only one person in my heart, and that’s you.”
Mu Qing’s face instantly turned red. Even though she was a girl with a strong personality, she was still just a girl that hadn’t left the pavilion yet.
The two of them spoke to each other in low voices, so no one noticed them in the banquet.
However, before they left, Mu Qing told Mu Lingshao about what Arda had said and thanked him.
Mu Qing felt that there was something wrong with Mu Yufeng’s existence.
“If he was here at the time, why didn’t he come forward as a witness in the first place?”
