If it was a few days ago, Duan Yunfei would have hoped that Mu Chuyang would agree to the marriage, but now she had to think about the consequences carefully.
Earlier, Duan Yunfei explained to Yuwen Di that she thought of Mu Chuyang as a suitable candidate for marriage because of the proposal Mu Chuyang made when he came to find Duan Yunfei to ask about marriage, and also because Zuo Yuanyuan and Xiao Yang had continuously advised Duan Yunfei to accept her kind intentions and help him out.
Duan Yunfei was tangled up for a long time, and also thought for a long time. Although sshe felt that doing so would let Mu Chuyang down, he still tried.
But the result?
The result was that Mu Chuyang himself rejected the marriage, so he had to give up on that thought and started to meet with the empress and his concubines.
But up until now, Duan Yunfei had always been accompanied by incomparably outstanding men, so how could she possibly fancy them?
But at this time, Mu Chuyang once again brought this opportunity to Duan Yunfei. He personally saw Yuwen Di, hoping that he would grant him marriage.
However, Mu Chuyang's reaction last night was still vivid in his mind.
This time, Duan Yunfei did not ponder for so long because she didn't know whether Mu Chuyang would be injured because of this or not. All along, what Duan Yunfei had been thinking about was not how to achieve her own marriage. On the contrary, after knowing Mu Chuyang's intentions, Duan Yunfei blamed herself the entire time for it.
These days, Duan Yunfei had spent more time thinking about Mu Chuyang than before. When she was in a daze, she would always think of how Mu Chuyang made her laugh all the time. She would think of how Mu Chuyang had changed the method to bring her all kinds of novel things, and of the times when he accompanied her.
It was as if in the past, Duan Yunfei was the only one accompanying her. Duan Yunfei could not think of anyone else, only Mu Chuyang's face, his smile, and the soft words Mu Chuyang had said to her.
Suddenly, Duan Yunfei remembered that all of the obsession she had with Xiu Heng in the past had become as light as a feather, not even worth mentioning. It was even like it had never appeared before, but now that she thought about it, her heart was as calm as water.
This feeling was both unfamiliar and familiar to Duan Yunfei.
Towards such frequent misses, Duan Yunfei was afraid.
It was hard to get used to suddenly shifting a person's position in one's heart from one place to another.
Just like a vase placed on a bookshelf suddenly placed on top of a desk, it would probably take some time to get used to. Similarly, emotions needed to be slowly digested.
Duan Yunfei could not get used to the sudden change in his feelings for Mu Chuyang, she had always been like a brother to Duan Yunfei. But now, not only did Mu Chuyang's feelings for him change, Duan Yunfei's feelings for him also seemed to have changed.
But was this because Duan Yunfei had finally discovered her feelings for Mu Chuyang? Or could this make her feel less burdened and guilty?
Duan Yunfei didn't know why she had done so, and this was precisely the reason why she had thought for so long.
"Yunfei, what are you thinking about?"
After hearing what Mu Chuyang had said to Duan Yunfei, Yuwen Di was somewhat touched.
Maybe because he was too old to listen to these emotional words, or maybe because he saw that Mu Chuyang was too infatuated with Duan Yunfei, Yuwen Di sincerely hoped that Duan Yunfei could accept him.
Yuwen Di inquired about the men that the Empress and his consorts had picked out, but he felt that no one amongst these people, whether it was talent or looks, could compare to Mu Chuyang.
Furthermore, Mu Chuyang was infatuated with Duan Yunfei. If Duan Yunfei could marry Mu Chuyang, then Yuwen Di could see the happiness in his future.
Furthermore, both the Prince Mu and the Prince's Wife Mo doted on Duan Yunfei so much that she wouldn't be bullied by her husbands even if she married into the Prince Mu's Mansion. This was something that Yuwen Di was more concerned about.
Mu Chuyang saw that he did not get a response from Duan Yunfei with his words, and felt a little disappointed and embarrassed.
"Chu Yang, I …" Duan Yunfei still had not figured out how to respond to Mu Chuyang's feelings.
If Duan Yunfei wasn't the least bit moved by what she had said, it would definitely be a lie. However, the current Duan Yunfei herself didn't know exactly what kind of feelings she had towards Mu Chuyang.
If he recklessly made a decision, if in the future, he discovered that he did not have any feelings for Mu Chuyang, wouldn't that mean he had missed out on Mu Chuyang's life?
"Yunfei, it's okay. You have a long time to think about it, I can wait for you."
Mu Chuyang had already waited for Duan Yunfei for so many years, why would he care about waiting a few more days for Duan Yunfei's answer?
But it was precisely these words that made Duan Yunfei make up her mind.
"Father, your son agrees to this marriage."
Duan Yunfei was not willing to let Mu Chuyang have to wait any longer. Since she had feelings for Mu Chuyang, why not give him a chance to prove it? Would he have to wait until the end of his life to regret not having made a decision today? Could it be that he would have to wait until Mu Chuyang gave up on him and he realised that he had already fallen in love with Mu Chuyang before coming to regret it? Duan Yunfei was unwilling.
"Are you speaking the truth?"
Mu Chuyang thought he heard wrongly, he stood up and opened his mouth without knowing what to say.
However, there was one person who was even more anxious than Mu Chuyang. He asked Duan Yunfei one more time, and found that it was Yuwen Di.
Duan Yunfei laughed, "Your son is speaking the truth, I am willing to be betrothed to Chu Yang."
"Yun Fei, are you really willing to marry me?" When Mu Chuyang heard this, he was overjoyed.
"Truly, I am willing to marry you, become your wife, and join hands with you until your hair turns white." Duan Yunfei did not avoid Mu Chuyang's eyes anymore. Instead, she looked at Mu Chuyang and resolutely told him.
Duan Yunfei blushed when she was stared at by Mu Chuyang.
"Since that's the case, let us pass down the decree today to grant you your marriage. This time, do not change it. " Yuwen Di was ecstatic, he waved his hand and wrote the imperial edict.
"However, Chu Yang, Yun Fei is still young. You still have to wait two more years."
It wasn't easy for Mu Chuyang to hear Duan Yunfei's definite answer, so how could she go back on her words? Looking at Duan Yunfei in front of him, Mu Chuyang felt that all of this was worth it. So what if she had to wait another two years?
Right now, Mu Chuyang couldn't wait to return to the Prince Mu's Mansion to tell this good news to the both of them.
