From then on, Mo Xi and Mu Li began their unique love time.
In the early morning, Mo Xi would personally pick dewy flowers from the garden and give them to Mu Li. Looking at her surprised smile, Mo Xi's heart was filled with sweetness.
Mu Li would cook some exquisite snacks for Mo Xi. Although her cooking skills were not very sophisticated, Mo Xi would always enjoy eating them with gusto.
One day, the two were walking together by the lake.
Mu Li suddenly splashed water at Mo Xi in a mischievous way. Mo Xi was not to be outdone and started a water fight with her. Their laughter echoed by the lake.
"Oh, Prince brother, you are cheating!" Mu Li said coquettishly.
Mo Xi smiled and said, "Who told you to start it first?"
In the evening, they sat side by side on the roof of the palace and watched the sunset.
Mu Li gently leaned on Mo Xi's shoulder and said, "Brother Crown Prince, this time is so beautiful."
Mo Xi held her hand and said, "It will always be beautiful like this."
However, some people in the palace were dissatisfied with their romance.
A minister's family member, jealous of Mu Li, took advantage of their friendship with the Queen and whispered in her ear, "Your Majesty, this Mu family girl is so unruly, spending all day with the Crown Prince so unscrupulously. How disrespectful!"
The Queen remained unmoved: "Young people have their own way of getting along with each other. I trust Li'er's character. Don't say such things again in the future!"
On the other hand, some ministers also made suggestions to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Mu family's daughter are acting this way, which may be a loss of the royal dignity."
The emperor rebuked him, "I see they have a very good relationship, what's wrong with that?"
Mo Xi and Mu Li were not affected by the gossip and continued to enjoy their love time.
On this day, Mo Xi sneaked out of the palace with Mu Li.
They arrived at the bustling market, and Mu Li looked around excitedly.
"Brother Prince, this looks great!"
"purchase!"
“That’s delicious!”
"purchase!"
Both of them had happy smiles on their faces, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with them.
This made everyone in the Mu family very worried.
"Dad, Mom, we can't let the prince get away with it so easily!" The three brothers of the Mu family were extremely anxious.
"That's right, my sister is still young, there's no rush to get married!"
"Yes, it's not like we can't support our sister!"
"Madam, what our sons said makes sense! Li'er has been in the palace for a few days, and it's time for her to go home! When we were leaving court today, I heard that the prince took Li'er out of the palace to the market. You should go to the market to pick up your sister and take her home! Just tell her that her grandparents are old and they miss them very much!" Mu Changqing ordered.
"Yes! Dad, let's go now!" the three brothers of the Mu family responded.
"Brother Qing, Li'er has grown up, and it's time for her to find a husband. Instead of marrying off blindly with someone she doesn't know, it's better to find the prince. The prince is a man of noble character and knows her well, so we can rest assured!" Feng Lingyue said with a smile.
"How old can she be? She's not even eighteen yet! Li'er left home when she was young, and I haven't loved her enough. How can she get married so early?" Mu Changqing said with tears in his eyes.
Feng Lingyue's eyes welled up with tears when she heard this. "Brother Qing, we owe Li'er so much in this life... Fortunately, the prince has always been by Li'er's side!"
"Madam! Why do you only speak well of the prince?" Mu Changqing looked resentful.
"Okay, okay, I'll try to think of any faults in the prince. If there's even one fault, he's not worthy of our daughter, and we won't marry him, okay?" Feng Lingyue couldn't help but smile as she looked at her husband's childish look.
"Okay." Mu Changqing smiled.
"The prince is ugly!" Feng Lingyue said.
"How could that be? All the people in the world are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world, which is used to describe the prince!" Mu Changqing shook his head and said.
"The prince is short!" Feng Lingyue said again.
"Madam, he is a little taller than me when he stands next to me! How could he be short?" Mu Changqing retorted.
"Is the prince so weak?" Feng Lingyue said.
"The strength of the prince is unknown. When facing him, the aura he exudes makes it difficult for anyone in the world to rival him!" Mu Changqing shook his head and said.
"That prince is poor!" Feng Lingyue couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Nowadays, our Zhaoyue Kingdom is the leader among all the countries. Not only do we receive tributes from dozens of neighboring small countries every year, but we have also established commercial trade with other countries. The treasury is full. How can the prince be poor?" Mu Changqing said proudly.
"What's wrong with the prince?" Feng Lingyue couldn't help but ask back.
"This..." Mu Changqing was speechless for a moment. After thinking hard for a long time, he finally said, "He is old. He is six years older than Li'er!"
"What's wrong with being older? Older people will be more caring towards others. Aren't you a few years older than me?" Feng Lingyue said slowly.
"Haha, madam is right!" Mu Changqing immediately agreed when he heard his wife say that he was caring.
"Then tell me what's wrong with the prince?" Feng Lingyue asked slowly.
"This..." Mu Changqing stood up and walked around the room. Finally, he remembered something and said, "The prince's hair is full of silver. This is not good!"
"Haha... you probably don't know how many men in Kyoto envy the Crown Prince's three thousand silver threads, do you? Don't you know that the handsome men in the storybooks that noble ladies love to read all have white hair?" Feng Lingyue said, throwing out a few storybooks. "Take a look at the illustrations inside for yourself!"
Mu Changqing picked up the storybook and opened it. Without exception, the pictures of the male protagonists were all wearing brocade clothes and had silver hair, but their facial features and pupil colors were different!
"This..." Mu Changqing was stunned and unable to refute!
After a long silence, Mu Changqing seemed to have finally accepted the reality and said hesitantly, "Madam, I can't bear to see my daughter get married!"
"Brother Qing, I know, I understand, and I don't want her to get married! But if our daughter is happy and happy, then we shouldn't stop her, okay?" Feng Lingyue reached out and hugged Mu Changqing, saying gently.
"Okay, as long as my daughter is happy and satisfied, she can get married if she wants." Mu Changqing compromised.
"Well, when our daughter comes back, we'll listen to her thoughts."
"good."
When the three brothers of the Mu family rushed to the market, they saw from afar Mu Li holding a sugar man and laughing happily, with Mo Xi looking at her lovingly from the side.
"I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good at pleasing my sister!" Mu Yu said with a sour tone.
"Third brother, your tone is too sour, isn't it? I think my sister's happiness is the most important thing." Mu Jin said.
The second elder brother of the Mu family pondered for a moment, then walked forward and coughed lightly, "Sister, you have been in the palace for many days. My grandparents miss you very much. My parents asked us to take you back home."
Mu Li looked at Mo Xi, and Mo Xi nodded, "A Li, you should go back to the mansion with your second brother and the others first. I will come out of the palace to see you after I have arranged things in the palace."
"Okay, Prince brother, goodbye!" Mu Li said goodbye to Mo Xi and followed her brothers back home.
