Editor: Atlas Studios “Crown Prince, both of my granddaughters, one abandoned by you, the other lost her chastity to you.
I hope the Crown Prince can give this old man a satisfactory answer!” Mu Hong’s face was ashen, as he had been ridiculed by his colleagues in the court because of this matter.
Even among the common people, there was much discussion, and his old face was completely lost.
“General Mu, rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.” Nalan Yu’s expression stiffened; knowing he was at fault and unable to be angry, he had to speak humbly.
After saying so, he looked up at Nalan Zheng, who sat above.
“Father, I truly love Rou’er, and I hope you can fulfill our wish!
As for Mu Qianyue, I want to annul the engagement with her; she is nothing but a waste who does not deserve to be my Crown Princess Consort!”
“Indeed, it was a lack in my consideration when I engaged you back then.
After all, now that the children have grown, they have their own thoughts.
Alright then, since you love the second young lady of General’s residence, Mu Yurou, I will grant you this marriage.” To be honest, he did not have a good impression of Mu Yurou.
A lady who lost her chastity before marriage—how good could she be?
Just hope the decision Yu’er makes today is one he won’t regret.
“Your Majesty, what about my granddaughter then?” Not married yet and already abandoned; how will she ever get married again?
Mu Hong frowned.
“Your Majesty, there’s something you have misunderstood.
It’s not the Crown Prince wanting to annul the engagement with me; it is I who look down on the Crown Prince.
For a man as libertine as he is, Qianyue has no blessing to enjoy.” The girl’s clear, bright voice rang out in the hall, penetrating every ear like a crystal-clear songbird.
Everyone was stunned, expressions full of shock.
Had they misheard, or had Mu Qianyue lost her mind?
She actually dared to scold the Crown Prince for being libertine in public?
And boast she looked down on the Crown Prince?
The girl stood silently in the hall, her young, immature face not fully grown, yet already possessing unparalleled beauty.
Her dark phoenix eyes sparkled like the bright moon rising from the edge of the sea, serene and distant.
“Mu Qianyue!!” Nalan Yu’s expression was hideous and angry, like a lion ready to pounce.
“Did the Crown Prince forget the letter of annulment I wrote?” She raised an eyebrow, fearless in meeting Nalan Yu’s nearly murderous gaze.
Nalan Zheng’s face also quickly darkened, turning somewhat unsightly.
Nalan Jie’s eyes deepened, a wicked smile on his lips, intriguing.
This was the first time he heard a woman dare to scold his royal brother for being libertine!
And even write a letter of annulment!
This was definitely a first in the history of the Phoenix Shadow Country!
“Your Majesty, please forgive her, Yue’er is young and ignorant, she spoke improperly.
I hope Your Majesty won’t blame her.” Mu Hong quickly knelt, pulling at the skirt of the girl beside him, but she remained standing silently on the hall, unmoving.
Mu Qianyue frowned.
She knelt in her life only for two people, her parents who gave birth to and raised her.
What does Nalan Zheng count for?
“Your Majesty, the second miss of the Mu family reached the level of a Level Five True Martial Artist at such a young age.
With such outstanding talent, she’s worthy of the Crown Prince; why not have them marry early?” Lan Keyu, sitting to the side, said with a playful laugh, gently teasing Nalan Zheng’s palm with her slender fingers, making his heart itch.
Lan Keyu turned to Mu Qianyue, winking.
Mu Qianyue was momentarily dazed, puzzled at the beautiful woman in a cherry-red Flower Smoke Robe, the most beloved Jade Concubine of Nalan Zheng.
But why was she speaking for her?
“My dearest speaks wisely.
Let them marry in a month.
The Prime Minister’s daughter will be the first consort, and the second young lady of the Mu family will be the concubine.
The marriage date will be the same.
Oh right, let the second young lady of the Mu family enter from the side door.” Nalan Zheng laughed.
Now he just wanted to finish matters here quickly and then get back to rolling in bed with his dear consort, not taking Mu Qianyue’s rebellion seriously anymore.
What?
Concubine?
And enter through the side door?
Mu Yurou’s face turned deathly pale at these words, her body trembling pitifully.
Nalan Yu frowned but said nothing, seemingly agreeing.
“Yu brother, you said only I was fit to be your Crown Princess Consort…you said you only loved me…” Mu Yurou clutched Nalan Yu’s hand, looking hopeful and pitiable.
“As a woman, you do not know decorum and shame, losing your chastity before marriage.
Now you’ve lost your reputation, making the entire Phoenix Shadow City laugh at you.
How could a woman like you be fit for a Crown Princess Consort?
Letting you be his concubine is considering General Mu’s face; otherwise, you wouldn’t even be Yu’er’s concubine!” Nalan Zheng angrily said.
Nalan Yu said not a single word, his expression unpredictable with even a flicker of disgust in his deep, dark eyes.
Mu Yurou’s face grew even paler, biting her lip, eyes glistening with tears.
She let go of Nalan Yu’s hand with a bitter smile; how could Yu brother possibly detest her?
Yu brother had promised her the position of Crown Princess Consort and vowed to love only her for life.
And now he detests…
Mu Qianyue!
All of this is because of Mu Qianyue!
If not for her, how would Wang Dachui have suddenly appeared in her bed?
If not for her, how could her reputation be destroyed?
If not for her, how could Yu brother detest her, marry the Prime Minister’s eldest daughter as his Crown Princess Consort, while she could only be a concubine, entering through the side door!
Thinking of this, a trace of hatred flashed in Mu Yurou’s eyes, “Your Majesty, I have an impertinent request.”
Mu Qianyue’s heart tightened at the words, an ominous premonition rising within her.
“Speak,” Nalan Zheng said.
“Though my sister cannot cultivate, she is still a noble lady.
Why not betroth her to Prince Jing?
It would be a joyful union.
Otherwise, in her current situation, she will struggle to marry.” Mu Yurou concealed the sadness in her eyes, putting on a facade of kindness while coldly laughing inside.
Since you ruined me, I shall ruin you!
The blind one?
Nalan Zheng pondered for a moment; it seemed Prince Jing was of the age to take a wife.
However, due to his eye condition and inability to cultivate, no one was willing to marry him.
Mu Qianyue was beautiful.
Therefore, he nodded and said, “Very well, the wedding will be held on the same day as Yu’er.”
Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly; marry Nalan Jing?
This was unexpected for her; she never considered the prospect of marriage.
“If you say one word of willingness to follow me, I can help you.” Suddenly, a voice reached her ears.
It was a secret transmission.
Mu Qianyue looked up to see Nalan Jie watching her with deep eyes and a faint, mischievous smile on his face.
Such a beauty marrying the blind one truly was a pity.
Even if Mu Qianyue was unable to cultivate, bringing someone as a concubine would still be nice.
