Chapter 162 Proposal for Marriage
Mo Beiye respected Mo Linyuan very much. His words always carried the most weight, and the young emperor would not utter a word when he appeared, because in his heart, Mo Linyuan would always be the one giving orders.
Chu An seemed somewhat confused by the current situation. Why had the Regent suddenly appeared? And why had he brought Han'er with him? Suddenly, a bad premonition rose in his heart.
He frowned and asked, "What brings the Regent and my daughter here?"
Chu An was genuinely surprised by Mo Linyuan's appearance. He had a strange feeling when he met the Regent in front of Feng Cang's house, and today it was confirmed. It seemed that his request for a marriage decree would not be granted.
"I heard that the King of Chu intends to choose a husband for Princess Chu, so I thought I'd come and join in the fun." Mo Linyuan's face was cold and indifferent, his chiseled features were extremely hard, and it was somewhat amusing that he was saying such things with such an expression.
However, everyone here was preoccupied with their own thoughts and remained silent. Only Feng Qingge, upon hearing Mo Linyuan's words, raised her long eyebrows and smiled more deeply, like a flower in bloom.
"Your Majesty, I am grateful for your concern." Chu An's thick eyebrows furrowed together, forming a mountain-like shape, and had not relaxed since the two of them entered.
Chu An had thought that Mo Linyuan would stop this, but since he hadn't said anything else since he came in, Chu An breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Chu Linghan remained silent after entering, her brows revealing a hint of sorrow as she gazed at Chu An with hopeful eyes. She kept glancing at Feng Qingge, but her watery eyes held a hint of apology.
Feng Qingge sighed, having let go of much of her dissatisfaction with Chu An. Chu Linghan, who was originally lively and cheerful, now had a worried look on her face and had lost her innocence.
Seeing that Mo Linyuan didn't say anything more, Chu An bowed and looked at Mo Beiye, who was seated above, and said, "Your Majesty, since the Regent is here, why don't you and the Regent make a decision for my daughter and betroth her to Qingge?" It seemed that he was still unwilling to give up.
However, Feng Qingge is much more relaxed now. With Mo Linyuan around, and having already promised her, she believes that Chu An will likely be disappointed.
As expected, Mo Linyuan spoke up, saying, "King Chu, you should listen to the princess's thoughts." His voice was deep and impossible to ignore.
Chu An frowned, turned his head to look at Chu Linghan, not understanding what she wanted to say, especially since she appeared with Regent Mo Linyuan.
"Father..." Chu Linghan hesitated, she didn't know what had happened today. If the Regent hadn't sent someone to report it, she would probably still be in the dark.
"Han'er, come here quickly. What do you think of the husband your father found for you?" Chu An beckoned Chu Linghan over, his face full of pride, lost in his own thoughts.
Chu Linghan shook her head, her eyebrows furrowed, her usual liveliness gone. "Father, Han'er is still young and doesn't want to get married. Besides... besides, I only see Feng Qingge as my brother, and I have no romantic feelings for him. Father, you're confused..."
Chu An stopped laughing, straightened his face, and said in a deep voice, "Han'er, didn't you say that the third young master of the Feng family is a very good person, and that he even saved you? You often mentioned him to your father. Have you forgotten all of this?" He was determined to bring the two of them together, so no matter what Chu Linghan said, it was useless.
"Father, saving people is saving people. My brother and I have no feelings for each other, so how can we be bound together for life!" Chu Linghan's eyes reddened, and her voice rose a little. She didn't understand why her father wouldn't listen to her thoughts and insisted on doing things this way.
