"You are worthy of being the queen! Hahaha... Very good! While Li'er is staying in the palace for a while, let's ask the children's opinions first!" said the emperor with a smile.
"good."
A few days later, the queen found an opportunity and called Mu Li to her bedroom alone.
The Queen took Mu Li's hand and said affectionately, "Li'er, I see that you and the Crown Prince get along very well. What do you think of the Crown Prince?"
Mu Li blushed slightly and said, "Prince brother is naturally very good."
The Queen was delighted when she saw this and continued, "If I ask you to marry the Crown Prince, would you be willing?"
Mu Li was startled and at a loss: "My Lady, this..."
The Queen smiled and soothed him, "Don't be nervous, just speak your mind."
Mu Li lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and I grew up together and have a deep friendship, but I haven't thought about this yet. I always feel that this is something I should consider after I grow up!"
The Queen smiled upon hearing this and said, "This is a sudden discovery for me, but you and the Crown Prince have both grown up and are a perfect match. I sincerely hope that you can achieve a happy marriage."
Mu Li bit her lip shyly: "My Lady, let me think about it again. I will seriously consider it!"
The queen smiled and nodded: "Okay, think about it carefully."
On the other side, the emperor also asked Mo Xi for advice.
The emperor said straight to the point, "Xi'er, I intend to grant you and Mu Li a marriage. What do you think?"
Mo Xi was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Father, this matter came too suddenly, and I am not yet prepared."
The emperor frowned: "Don't you have any feelings for Mu Li?"
Mo Xi quickly said, "Of course I'm interested in Ali, but Ali is still young. Marriage is a big deal, so I hope you can consider it carefully."
The emperor smiled and said, "Then you should think about it carefully. As long as you two are willing, you don't have to worry about anything else!"
"Thank you, Father! I will seriously consider this matter!"
After Mu Li and Mo Xi left, they each fell into deep thought.
Mu Li is conflicted. She has feelings for Mo Xi, but is also worried about the constraints that marriage will bring.
Mo Xi was both happy and worried, wondering whether Ali would agree.
That night, Mu Li was walking in the palace garden and happened to meet Mo Xi.
Mo Xi walked forward and said softly, "Ali."
Mu Li looked up at him: "Brother Crown Prince."
The two looked at each other in silence. After a while, Mo Xi said, "You don't have to feel pressured about the arranged marriage."
Mu Li was shocked and said, "Brother Crown Prince, what do you mean? You don't want to?"
Mo Xi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said in surprise, "How could I not want to? You don't know how long I have been waiting for this moment!"
Mu Li's face flushed pink as she asked shyly, "Brother Crown Prince, are you looking forward to it?"
Without waiting for Mo Xi's answer, she said worriedly, "But after getting married, I can only stay in the deep palace, take care of my husband and children, and deal with a bunch of trivial things every day. I can't do this, and that is against the rules. Not only will I have to give birth to children and become a yellow-faced woman, but I might even have to take a concubine for my husband! Just thinking about it makes me feel that marriage is too terrible!" Mu Li shook her head like a rattle as she thought about it.
Mo Xi interrupted her: "How can it be as scary as you say? No matter what you decide, I respect you. You can do whatever you want. No one will restrict you! Besides, you are the only one I have in my life. How could I possibly take a concubine?"
"Okay, I believe in Prince Brother! Then let's date first?" Mu Li made up her mind after hearing what Mo Xi said.
"In love? Like the couples we saw in the flower-growing country?" Mo Xi thought about the people he saw in modern times and asked.
"Yes! Let's date first and then get married!" Mu Li said with a smile.
"Okay!" Mo Xi agreed with a smile.
Mu Li stepped forward and kissed Mo Xi, then smiled and held out her hand, "Hello, boyfriend!"
Mo Xi was still immersed in Mu Li's gentle kiss, and he reached out and held her hand blankly, "Hello, girlfriend!"
“Hehehe…”
The two stood quietly under the moonlight, their hearts slowly drawing closer.
