"Xiao Lingxi, why don't you walked Prince Long Fuzi and show him around??? I know you guys have a lot to catch up. Leave everything about the preparation for the marriage to us. You can just lay back and enjoy yourselves"
Hearing that the head of the Mu Clan almost declared the marriage , the emperor nodded his head. Seemingly satisfied for his decisiveness.
"I definitely need to pull this kind of ambitious man on my side rather than to risk the possibility of him taking the route of no return"
the emperor thought to himself.
Prince Long Fuzi on the other hand was so delighted upon hearing Mu Ruochen's instruction to his granddaughter, Mu Lingxi.
As if on cue, he approached Mu Lingxi who was standing still like a beautiful statue, not too far away.
Mu Ruochen's words were almost the same as his affirmation for the proposal that the majesty had personally requested. Albeit, this has something to do with Empress Qi asking him to this favor for her.
Knowing that his father the emperor was head over heels to his mother, the empress, Prince Long Fuzi decided to ask for her mother's help.
He pleaded to her to have the emperor personally request the marriage proposal to the Mu Clan, removing all the possibilities for them to refuse it. Unless they don't want to give the emperor a face.
So when Empress Qi talked to her husband the emperor itself, he agreed right away. Besides, it's not a bad choice for them. Mu Clan was known to be the perfect candidate for the position of the crown princess.
If they marry their other young miss to another powerful clan in the future, there is a high chance that they might wield power not any lesser than the throne itself. Which in return might spell trouble for them in the future.
So might as well have the Mu Clan on their side, rather than let them start aiming for the throne by themselves, once their acquired power over time get the better of them.
So here they are, personally proposing a marriage over a clan, despite being on the higher status. After a week since the banquet ended, the emperor decided to pay a visit to the Mu Clan residence.
But if everyone was happy for this sudden set up, Mu Lingxi was not!!!!
"What the heck was happening?!!!! Am I still dreaming??"
"Why it's me who have to accompany Prince Long Fuzi and walked him around?! Mu Yanxiao was more than willing to do that.."
These are the questions she was pondering as she stand there. Still as a beautiful statue. Almost perfectly depicting the word perfection and serenity.
"My dear grandfather, would it be okay to have Lady Yanxiao bring Prince Long Fuzi around instead??? I am honestly not feeling well, and I'm afraid I might implicate the prince's health"
Mu Ruochen was frighten to death upon hearing Mu Lingxi's indirect refusal.
"I sure dote her a lot that she even have the guts to go against the emperor's wish"
The clan head scolded himself on his mind yet he recovered almost instantly and said with a straight face.
"HAHAHAHAHHA! Silly girl.... who would want her fiancé being accompanied by another woman... "
"If that was the case, how about you take Lady Lingxi back to her room. I'm sorry for disturbing your rest. This old bone was just too happy and excited to meet my future daughter-in-law"
the emperor added as he nod his head to Prince Long Fuzi.
Prince Long Fuzi was over the clouds since he was finally a step closer for having his dream girl as his wife. He fail to see that Mu Lingxi's face does not reciprocated the same excited feeling that he have.
With his jolting buttocks, he walk towards Lady Lingxi and take her away from the two old geezer who resume their discussion regarding the marriage arrangement.
