The Emperor, noticing that he didn't object, continued, "I've been thinking, you seem to show little interest in women, the only one you have been somewhat close with, is probably Old Man Chen's daughter, Chen Yining. Why don't I arrange a marriage for you..."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I have my own plans for my marriage. You needn't trouble yourself," Marquis Mu retorted.
The Emperor lightly coughed, "Actually, I was thinking that if you were to get married, Princess Chaoyang could finally let you go." Otherwise, he had no interest in whether Marquis Mu would marry or not.
Marquis Mu replied, "I came to the palace today to request permission for a leave."
"A leave? Why so?" The Emperor asked in surprise.
"Some personal affairs." Marquis Mu pursed his lips, the image of her eyes filled his heart with longing.
