However, the more time this son spent with her, the more he understood her feelings, and knew that she had to be a king in this life. And now that I've heard that royal brother also came to request a marriage, I've come in a hurry. " Mu Sheng told him the whole story at once.

The empress dowager thought for a moment before calming herself down. "It looks like I've only seen Xue Muyun a few times before. However, her impression of her was extremely deep. She had quite a character, gentle and virtuous, beautiful appearance, and some little thoughts. If it wasn't for her mother, she would have liked this girl very much. It's just that you know about her mother … "

"Your son doesn't mind, Queen Mother." Without waiting for the empress dowager to finish speaking, Mu Sheng hurriedly replied.

"Back then, his mother was with your royal brother …"

"This son does not care about these things. I only care about Xue Ruoyun." "She is her, and this son only wants her. It has nothing to do with her."

"But what if I don't agree?" The empress dowager probed. Seeing Mu Ying's determination, she had already compromised in her heart.

You are the prince, the younger brother of the current emperor, and you are also in charge of military power, which is related to the safety of the country and the people. I am afraid that when Xue Luoyun is with you, it will affect you, affect the entire Western Paradise, and after all, his mother's family has participated in the struggle for the imperial power. Mu Zheng was the only one who didn't know of this matter.

"Xue Ruyun is only a weak woman, how can she talk about affecting your son and me, affecting rivers and mountains? If my mother disagrees with this, then I am willing to hand over all my military power and become an ordinary country bumpkin. I want to be with her. " Mu Sheng's attitude was firm and he had already decided to give up everything.

"What?" The empress dowager was furious when he heard this. For a woman, she actually wanted her son to be a village boy. He was born into a noble family, so how could she bear to part with him? However, looking at Mu Ying's resolute eyes, he knew that he had made up his mind this time. Mu Sheng's personality was different from Mu Zheng's gentle personality. He was stubborn and strong.

Thinking back, the late emperor doted on his two sons. One of them was capable of writing, while the other was capable of fighting. According to the late emperor, both of them were options for the future emperor. However, at that time, Mu Sheng was fighting on the battlefield in the distance, and only Mu Zheng was by his side. At that time, the emperor was in critical condition, and the palace was in turmoil. Everyone was eyeing the position of the Emperor covetously. Mu Zheng had already been conferred the title of Crown Prince. But because of his affair with the little butterfly, he had no intention of fighting for the throne, all he wanted was love. The Empress Dowager was very worried.

Her Majesty therefore made two preparations, one of which was to do her best to assist Mu Zheng in ascending the throne. Second, she would hand over all the military power to Mu. If Mu Zheng was truly heartless and decided not to take the throne, then she could let Mu Ying fight for it. Unexpectedly, Mu Zheng was able to successfully ascend to the throne. This led to the situation of two people holding the military power and one person holding the imperial power.

Fortunately, the two brothers had a good relationship with each other, so Mu Sheng was not in the mood to fight for the throne. Plus, he had been in the battlefield for so many years. He had settled down his territory and protected the people of the Western Lion Country. He was also very talented in military matters and had a strong military heart. Thus, this military power had never been withdrawn.

However, now that the world was at peace and the war less intense, rumors began to spread throughout the country. Many people were worried that Mu had threatened the land because of his power, and many proposed to take back his military power. But he believed in Mu, and he had always ignored the issue of military power.

However, the empress dowager was extremely worried about this matter. Mu Sheng originally had no other intentions, and after so many years of unrepentant pacification, he ended up with a bad reputation. Her Majesty always felt that she owed him. Moreover, if too many rumors were spread, it would inevitably affect the relationship between these two brothers. If they took back the military power, they would be afraid that Mu Hao would be too suspicious and cause instability in the military. The empress dowager only had two sons who were emotional and reasonable. Neither of them wanted to see the conflict between the two brothers.

Now was a good time to reclaim the military. Moreover, Mu Ying had a stubborn personality, if he did not agree to his request, then that would be the end. He was stubborn, and Mu Zheng couldn't do anything about him. At that time, the world would be in a state of injustice and cause chaos. It would also allow the villains who were eyeing the place to enter.

Her Majesty thought for a long time before finally agreeing. She nodded. "All right, child."

"Is that so, Mistress?" Mu Sheng was extremely excited.

"Since both of you are in love with her, it seems that if I disagree with one of them, there is nothing I can do about it. But now that you have made up your mind, you don't have to be a country bumpkin. However, if we take back your military power, from now on, you will be a idle prince. You will no longer be as imposing and prestigious as you were in the past. Have you considered this? " the Empress Dowager asked again, still worried.

"Imperial Mother, let's not talk about me being still a prince. Even if I'm only a commoner, a man in the mountains … as long as I'm together with Xue Ruyun, I am willing." Mu Ying said without any hesitation.

When the Empress Dowager saw Mu Ying's appearance, she lamented that he had really grown up. After so many years of betrothal, they had never seen him so happy and certain as he was today. Although he had many concubines in his mansion, he had never touched them. He had not had any children for so many years. Now that he was determined to win her heart, he could just agree. Not only did it help his lineage grow leaves and branches, but it also cut off the emperor's thoughts.

"Since you are like this, how can the Queen Mother stop you?" Every mother wants her son to be happy. "

"Mother, then you'll agree to it, won't you?" Mu Ying confirmed in disbelief.

"Yes."

"Thank you mother." Mu Sheng was extremely excited and kowtowed three times.

"However, if I agree to you now, your royal brother will have to blame me. In the future, if you find an opportunity, the two brothers can discuss this matter properly, so as to avoid hurting their relationship, and also avoid the relationship between us." said the Empress, anxious. A few are laughing and a few are sad.

"Yes, son will obey." Mu Sheng was extremely moved. He immediately handed over all the weapons and tokens he held in his arms to the empress dowager.

Mu Ying happily left the palace. He raised his head and saw that the moon today was exceptionally large and round. Even the wind that blew over seemed to carry a fragrance. He had never thought that the Empress Mother would agree to his request.

Before he came, Mu Sheng had thought a million times about what he should do if he didn't agree to the empress dowager's request. However, he hadn't expected that this time, even the heavens would help him, allowing him to obtain the empress dowager's arranged marriage. Mu Sheng's heart was filled with emotion. This was the most correct thing he had done. Mu Sheng was extremely excited. He wished that he could immediately go in front of Xue Luoyun and tell her the good news.

But when he thought of Xue Ruyun, Mu Sheng's heart sank. He gave up everything in one go in exchange for the empress dowager giving him a marriage, but what if this Xue Luoyun didn't agree to it? Thinking of this, Mu Ying's feet couldn't help but stop.

He hesitated. He couldn't think of whether this Xue Luoyun was willing or not. He knew Xue Ruyun's personality. If she didn't agree, no one could force her. However, he was doing his best to do so now. This was the only way he could do it after he heard that Mu Zheng wanted to take her as his wife.

Mu Rong Zhan stood on the spot, bewildered. First, he had to tell her about this matter and see what her intentions were. If she didn't agree, then he would think of another way. In any case, she wouldn't be able to escape his grasp in this life. Mu Sheng nodded as though he was cheering himself on. Raising his head to look, it was almost the early hours of the morning. Mu Ying couldn't care less as he directly entered Xue Ruoyun's Rain Listening Pavilion with ease and familiarity.

Mu Zheng was in the middle of reviewing the imperial reports, but his mind was filled with Xue Ruyun's shadow. He couldn't sit still. Ever since he had made up his mind to take care of Xue Ruyun, he felt more and more that it was too much of a waste of time. He was afraid that someone would be the first to snatch her away.

"Tomorrow, I'll go speak to Xue Luoyun about this and ask her opinion." Mu Zheng thought.

"Your Majesty, this isn't good." Eunuch Wei walked in anxiously and knelt on the floor.

"What is it that makes you so flustered?" Mu Zheng put down his brush, displeased.

"Your Majesty, Prince Conqueror entered the palace tonight, begging the empress dowager to bestow the marriage on him. The empress dowager agreed, and it's said that tomorrow's order will be issued." Eunuch Wei said everything in one breath. Actually, he wasn't clear about this matter yet, but it was Mu Lingfeng who had asked him to pass it on.

Mu Lingfeng's eyes and ears were numerous. He was originally very happy about the matter of the Emperor wanting to marry off his wife, but in the blink of an eye, he received the news of Mu Zheng requesting a marriage. Seeing that this matter was about to be completed, Mu Ying was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of a winner.

Since it was not easy for Mu Lingfeng to show his face, he could only ask Eunuch Wei to pass on the information. Eunuch Wei had always known the Emperor's feelings for Xue Ruyun, so he was very shocked to hear this news. Thus, he quickly came to report. Two act of personal affection.

"What!" When Mu Zheng heard this news, he dropped the pen in his hand and threw a large ink spot on the imperial report.

He had originally thought that he was already early and would accept Xue Ruyun after taking care of everything. He hadn't thought that Mu Ying would be the first to receive the empress dowager's gift for marriage. Mu Zheng didn't have that much time to think about why the empress dowager would agree to Mu Sheng's arranged marriage. Right now, all he was thinking about was Xue Ruyun's idea. Now, only her heart was the most important.

Xue Ruyun did not know why, but she could not sleep at all today. She felt as if her head was buzzing, her ears were flushing red, and she kept sneezing, as if someone was talking to her. After tossing and turning in bed, she decided to get out of bed. After wearing a white robe, she slowly strolled into the courtyard and began to admire the moonlight.

It was currently June, and the flowers in the courtyard were blooming profusely. Xue Ruoyun raised his head, and saw a full moon hanging high in the sky. This was the moment when the moon was shining brightly, yet Xue Luoyun suddenly felt like a lone person, unable to stop himself from feeling somewhat lonely.

Inexplicably, she turned her head to look at the tree by the wall and suddenly thought of that person. What was he doing now? Every time he became one of these regulars, if he did not come for a few days, he seemed to be missing something, as if he had always belonged here.

Xue Ruyun sat down and stared at the tree, lost in thought.
