He readily agreed: "Just as the princess said."

Seeing that he looked calm and fearless, more people began to believe in him. However, due to the face of Emperor Chengjing and Princess Chaoyan, no one dared to say it out loud.

Yun Yuan's beautiful eyes moved and her gaze rested on another cluster of plum trees next to the ice rink.

Because it is some distance away from here and is not affected by the sound of the piano, the plum blossoms over there are still in bud, about to bloom.

She raised her hand and said, "Let's go over there and compete."

Mu Nan: "Just as Her Royal Highness the Princess said."

Everyone walked towards that direction together. When they reached the plum tree, Mu Nan suddenly said, "Your Highness, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Yun Yuan: "Why not?"

"Okay then." Mu Nan said, "I have admired the princess for a long time. If the princess cannot prove that the plum blossoms bloomed because of you, you must marry me."

"How dare you!" The emperor was furious. "You've been admiring this man for so long, yet you're using provocation to openly instigate Chaoyang to disobey the imperial decree right in front of me. Mu Nan, you're truly courageous!"

Mu Nan's face turned pale, and he knelt on the snow again: "I dare not, but I love the princess so much. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Come here, drag him out and chop him up!"

Mu Nan hadn't expected the emperor to defend the princess in front of all the officials. The reason for the plum blossoms blooming hadn't been revealed yet, so wasn't he afraid of being criticized? What if the plum blossoms had really been created by him?

As expected, a minister pleaded for Mu Nan: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Think twice! Emperor Cheng Jing couldn't think twice at all. What kind of people dared to covet his daughter these days?

Yun Yuan said, "I can make a bet with you. If I can prove that the plum blossoms bloomed because of my music, I will kill you."

Xiao Qingxuan was about to persuade her, but when he heard Yun Yuan say that Mu Nan wanted to die, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

If Her Royal Highness the Princess fails, he will not let her marry Mu Nan, he will kill Mu Nan!

Chu Yuheng had the same plan as him.

Chi Mo and Xi Haoling looked at Yun Yuan worriedly. Yun Yuan shook her head at them, signaling them not to interfere and that she was confident she could handle it.

When Mu Nan heard that Yun Yuan wanted to make a bet with him, he originally thought that she would ask him to prove it, but he didn't expect to get a pleasant surprise. He was sure that Yun Yuan would not be so lucky again, and nodded impatiently.

"Just as Princess Chaoyan said, if you can make the plum blossoms bloom, Mu Nan is willing to die, but if you can't, you must marry me."

Emperor Chengjing frowned tightly. This bet was unfair. Besides, marriage was no joke. How could one make such a bet? Besides, Chaoyan was already engaged.

"Nonsense." He said sternly, "Let's end this matter here. Don't mention the plum blossoms anymore."

Compared to my daughter's lifelong happiness, the truth is no longer important.

[I've read through a lot of history books but haven't found any record of this incident. It turns out it was stopped by Emperor Chengjing.]

[Why did Princess Chaoyan marry Mu Nan? I'm so anxious! ]

[The Princess Chaogao in history who was persistent in pursuing Mu Nan is completely different from the Princess Chaogao we see today.]

【Wait a little longer, maybe there will be a reversal. 】

Just when everyone thought that the matter was over.

"Father, I have a way to prove that the plum blossoms bloomed because of my music." Yun Yuan said seriously, "Please believe me."
