The king was obviously upset.
Could it be that, as the minister had guessed, he was so greedy that it wasn't enough to be a Marquis, he wanted more?
"Give me a reason."
Mu Jingchen didn't change his face and said bluntly: "Relieving Zhou City is really a relief for Liyue. It has no other meaning. I am ashamed of your majesty's award."
"No matter what your purpose is, it is true that you have saved the people of Zhoucheng, and you have received this reward."
The king's persistence did not come in exchange for his compromise.
He still replied without giving face to face: "Please take your majesty back!"
The king made an exception and gave him such a great honor. Instead of thanking him, he refused. The king naturally felt that he was losing face.
Even, I think he is a little bit ignorant to praise.
But facing the ministers, the king did not show any dissatisfaction.
With a cold face, he looked at Mu Jingchen, and said: "Since you persist in this way, well, I will do what you want."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mu Jingchen's expression was cold, and after refusing the king, his expression was still very calm, as if nothing had happened.
The king had thought that he was Huangfu Liyue's husband, and he took the opportunity to promote him so that his identity would match his daughter.
But now, he refused without a word, which the king had never expected.
This time the award ended in the doubts of the king and his officials.
…
Until Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen left the main hall together.
The two walked side by side to the Chang'an Temple.
Mu Jingchen said nothing all the way.
He had always been calm, but Huangfu Liyue couldn't hold it anymore.
She stopped, looked at him, and asked puzzledly: "Just now, why did you reject the reward from the father?"
Mu Jingchen then stopped and turned to face her.
"Liyue, I have already said that I am raising supplies to help Zhoucheng. It is only for you. It is not appropriate to accept the reward."
"But, you know that the father is deliberately trying to promote you this time. He wants you to do something big in country Y in the future, so..."
"Liyue."
He suddenly interrupted her, and spoke very thinly, "I never wanted to come to country Y to develop."
Huangfu Liyue opened her mouth, but what she wanted to say was blocked.
I never wanted to come to country Y for development, so I never planned to stay in country Y for a long time, right?
She really couldn't understand this.
Even if it was for his career, for the power family he now controls, he accepted the reward, which would help his career and family even more.
But he refused, making her feel that he was deliberately disassociating himself from King Y.
At this moment, she was very disappointed, not only because of the reward, but because of his attitude.
Mu Jingchen noticed her low emotions, approached her, and stroked her face.
"I don't want to be bound, I have no intentions, I hope you can understand."
She lifted her eyes slightly, and faced her eyes that were as dark as a deep pool.
After a long time, she said: "Maybe, I think too much, let's go back."
"Ok."
He didn't explain too much, holding her hand tightly in the palm of his hand, and walked towards the Chang'an Temple step by step.
Next, they spent a peaceful and happy day.
Mu Jingchen often ran between countries Y and Z, and several children lived in each of the two countries for a period of time.
The power family that Mu Jingchen controls has already been known as the number one nobleman in Country Z, and has become the number one family in Jiangcheng.
The enterprises under his hands are spread all over the country.
And Huangfu Liyue, although she became a princess, she did not forget her previous dream.
She was allowed by the king to set up her own clothing company under the royal family enterprise and own her own clothing brand: SY.
Their lives are all developing in a better direction.
It's just that, not long after, this peaceful life was broken by a sudden event.
...
Five months later.
Chang'an Temple.
Bai Liyue was sitting on the sofa in the lobby, and attentively hand-painted a dress design.
When the inspiration was flooding, the painting reached the key point, and an irritable voice came from outside the door.
"Sister! Save me!"
As the voice floated to Huangfu Liyue's ears, Huangfu Yeting walked in.
The pen in her hand then stopped.
Seeing her younger brother's irritable face, she smiled lightly, and joked: "Why, have you been bullied by the future princess again?"
Two days ago, Princess Ji Lingxi of Country E was ordered to come to Country Y and choose one of the two princes to marry the two princes.
In the past few months, Huangfu Yuncheng has resumed suffrage.
After Ji Lingxi came to Country Y, the king ordered Huangfu Yuncheng and Huangfu Yeting to be summoned.
Not surprisingly, Ji Lingxi chose Huangfu Ye Ting.
The king immediately ordered that the two married another day.
However, this caused Huangfu Ye Ting, who was completely unprepared, a headache.
Since the king announced their marriage, Ji Lingxi has been pestering him every day.
And Huangfu Ye Ting, seeing her is like a mouse and a cat, hiding everywhere.
Huangfu Liyue didn't need to guess, he was hiding from the princess again.
Listening to her ridicule, Huangfu Yeting frowned.
"What the future princess, sister, how old I am now, I don't want to marry a wife at all!
Besides, even if I want to marry a wife, I don't want to marry her like that! "
Huangfu Liyue didn't agree with the words that his younger brother disliked.
She recalled the appearance of Princess Ji Lingxi.
He looks clean, very cute, and has a lively personality.
"Ye Ting, you are a little bit dissatisfied. I think that princess is pretty good. Why is she dissatisfied with you?"
Huangfu Ye Ting couldn't say why for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "She is too unruly, and too noisy, she doesn't have the style of a royal princess at all!"
The noble daughters and princesses he met were all gentle and polite.
But this Ji Lingxi and them are completely two types.
Huangfu Liyue probably understood what he meant, but still did not agree with his point of view.
"The princess who stipulates that she must stick to the old rules and be modest and polite? Everyone has their own personality. You can cherish such a lively girl when she grows up in the royal family!"
As soon as the voice fell, a girl in a sky blue dress with a simple ponytail ran in.
"Huangfu Ye Ting! You actually hid here in order not to go shopping with me!"
The girl is pretty and has a kind of natural freedom.
When she saw Huangfu Liyue, she hurriedly saluted again.
"Sister Liyue is good."
"Princess Lingxi, you are welcome."
As soon as Huangfu Liyue finished speaking, Huangfu Yeting immediately sat next to her and whispered to her for help: "Sister, please, send her away quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, Ji Lingxi said to him dissatisfiedly: "Huangfu Ye Ting, why have you been hiding from me? The king has agreed to the marriage between us, and you still don't take the opportunity to cultivate and cultivate relationships with me! "
Huangfu Ye Ting glanced at her with disgust.
As a princess, he is not even a bit reserved, he is very speechless.
