"Greetings to Your Majesty from Chu Yang." Mu Chuyang gave him the courtesy of a sovereign, and waited for him to stand up, bestow him a seat, then sat down on the chair in front of Yuwen Di.
"Why is Chu Yang here today? We haven't seen you in a long time. Last time Prince Mu said that you were severely ill, we didn't have the time to visit you, so we could only ask Yun Fei to go in our place. Are you feeling better now? "
Yuwen Di hadn't seen Mu Chuyang for a while, the last time he saw him was when Duan Yunfei's Growing Age Ceremony, and two months had already passed.
"I have troubled Your Majesty for your concern, Chu Yang has completely recovered." Mu Chuyang did not expect Yuwen Di to still remember the matter of him being sick, and once again remembered that the Prince Mu had said that Yuwen Di had high hopes for him. Thinking back to what he had done recently, he could not help but feel that he had disappointed Yuwen Di's expectations.
"Then I am relieved." Yuwen Di had long known that Mu Chuyang had fully recovered, but he still had to say some words of concern.
"Your Majesty, Chu Yang came to see Your Majesty today because he has a request." Mu Chuyang did not plan to waste time with Yuwen Di, and went straight to the point, wanting to propose his purpose for entering the palace today.
This made Yuwen Di curious, all these years, Mu Chuyang seemed to have never asked him for anything. Yuwen Di was very curious, what exactly was it that actually made Mu Chuyang personally come to the palace to beg for something?
"Chu Yang, what do you have to say, just say it. "If I find it reasonable, I will promise you."
"Your Majesty, Chu Yang wishes to request Your Majesty to grant us the marriage."
This time, Yuwen Di was a little unhappy. Mu Chuyang had rejected his good intentions to give Duan Yunfei a marriage, and in the blink of an eye, had entered the palace to grant him a marriage for him. Wasn't this clearly not giving Yuwen Di face?
Although Prince Mu had initially said that he did not want to marry Duan Yunfei because he felt that he was not compatible with him, if the one Mu Chuyang asked him to marry today was another woman, Yuwen Di would definitely not let him off lightly.
Of course, at that time Yuwen Di only mentioned this matter to Prince Mu, and also said that this matter was entirely based on Mu Chuyang's will, but Yuwen Di was the ruler of a country, if Mu Chuyang was truly stubborn, then Yuwen Di would not allow it.
"Married? But did Chu Yang have a woman he liked? I wonder which family's daughter is so lucky? "
Yuwen Di's words were mostly filled with ridicule. Although he did not mention Duan Yunfei, it was as if he was saying, "I wonder which woman gave you the guts to actually reject my most beloved princess for her sake? We would like to see who this woman is to be able to rival our Yun Fei. "
Just as Yuwen Di was thinking about how to deal with Mu Chuyang, Mu Chuyang's words startled him.
"The one that Chu Yang wants to marry is your majesty's Thirteenth Princess."
These words were like a clap of thunder, causing Yuwen Di to not know how to reply.
"At that time, I had the Prince Mu bring up this matter with you, but you refused the marriage at that time. Why did you go back on your words now?"
Mu Chuyang knew that his words were contradictory. If he was wrong, it might not only affect him, but might also cause the Prince Mu to bear the responsibility of deceiving the monarch. Therefore, no matter what Prince Mu said to Yuwen Di, Mu Chuyang would definitely mention it again.
"Your Majesty, it was a moment of confusion for Chu Yang. Chu Yang thought, he had not achieved anything, but Yun Fei was different, many men would not be able to compare to him. Chu Yang is afraid that if he rashly makes a decision, when Yun Fei thinks about it in the future, he will think that Chu Yang was not compatible with her, so he made such a foolish decision … "
"Since you said that you rejected the marriage because you were afraid that you weren't worthy of Yun Fei, why did you come to see me again today, hoping that I would grant you a marriage?"
"Your Majesty, the decision that Chu Yang made today is not because he felt that the current me was worthy of Yun Fei. Just like you, Your Majesty, in Chu Yang's eyes, Yun Fei is the best woman in the world, no matter who it is, they will not be able to compare to her. "
Mu Chuyang paused for a while, before continuing to speak of what he had always wanted to say.
"Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, Chu Yang's heart had already been with Yun Fei for many years, it's just that he never had the chance to express his feelings. Now, Yun Fei had passed his prime and had reached his prime. Chu Yang originally wanted to wait for another two years and let Yun Fei stay by your side for another two years. After two years, Chu Yang would come and request for Your Majesty to grant us our marriage. But Chu Yang did not expect Your Majesty to start discussing marriage on Yun Fei's behalf so quickly, and panicked a little. "
"You said that you've loved Mu Yunfei for many years?" Yuwen Di was quite satisfied with Mu Chuyang's answer. In the past few days, Duan Yunfei had already seen every single candidate recommended by the empress and every single concubine, but not a single one of them entered Duan Yunfei's eyes. Because of this, Yuwen Di was annoyed.
Initially, when Duan Yunfei mentioned about the marriage agreement, Duan Yunfei and Yuwen Di had a ruckus. While Yuwen Di wanted to set up a marriage for Duan Yunfei as soon as possible, she also hoped that Duan Yunfei could be happy at the same time.
Before Mu Chuyang rejected Yuwen Di's good intentions, Yuwen Di had thought that if Duan Yunfei was also interested, he would have Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang be engaged. But who knew that Mu Chuyang would reject him?
"In reply to Your Majesty, everything Chu Yang said was the truth. Other than hoping to wait until Yun Fei's age was suitable, there is another very important reason why Chu Yang did not express his feelings to Yun Fei all these years. "
Thinking of this, Mu Chuyang felt his heart hurt.
"What other reason is there?"
"I wonder if Your Majesty realized it as well. All these years, Yun Fei had only treated Chu Yang as a brother and sister, so …"
This was also why Yuwen Di had not directly suggested for Duan Yunfei to be betrothed to Mu Chuyang initially. Instead, he had waited until Duan Yunfei came to look for him himself and said that he was the most suitable candidate in her heart.
"I know about this as well. But right now, even if I agree to this marriage, it will still depend on what Yun Fei thinks. After all, this is her marriage, and I have to consider her feelings. "
"Your Majesty is right." It was because Mu Chuyang did not want to force him, that he came to discuss the marriage with Yuwen Di.
"Since that's the case, we shall send someone to fetch Yun Fei here. If Yun Fei has no objections, then I shall arrange a marriage for you two and choose another auspicious day. However, if Yun Fei does not agree, then we cannot make the decision either. "
