"Is Your Majesty so looking forward to this?" Mu Zhuochen had actually been there for a while and had clearly seen the appreciation in Wan Ge's eyes. She seemed quite satisfied with that group of women.
"Of course, I look forward to my wedding night," Wan Ge replied softly.
Mu Zhuochen gave a light hum: "Indeed, there is something to look forward to. Your Majesty should take your leave now. It would be best if Your Majesty could return to handle the memorials and not delay any state affairs."
"Your Royal Uncle is right, then I'll head back now." Wan Ge felt that icy aura again, so she decided to slip away quickly.
Why is he angry again? Wan Ge didn't know what she had done to upset him. Why does he always get angry over the slightest thing? This isn't good!
Mu Zhuochen simply nodded indifferently, and Wan Ge immediately disappeared.
Mu Zhuochen also took a deep look at the palace wall beside him before leaving.
…
Wan Ge propped her head up with her hands, placed the calligraphy brush on her philtrum, and pouted so that the brush wouldn't fall. After a while, Wan Ge finally took the brush down and said, "Little Hai Zi, why do you think my uncle gets unhappy whenever I mention the imperial selection lately?"
"Perhaps Your Majesty is overthinking things?" Xiao Haizi, standing to the side, replied respectfully.
Wan Ge shook her head firmly: "I can't be wrong, Uncle's reaction must mean he's angry."
Hearing her say that, Xiao Haizi hesitated for a moment before replying, "Or perhaps it's because the Prince has been working so hard for the affairs of our Great Chu Kingdom and still doesn't have a Princess Consort, but His Majesty has started the selection of consorts, so he's unhappy?"
Wan Ge slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
But what could she do? She couldn't very well arrange for someone to become a princess, could she?
However, Wan Ge seemed to recall an old story: the Prince of Jinnan had a daughter, the little princess, who grew up with Mu Zhuochen as childhood sweethearts. It was said that the two had a very deep affection for each other, but unfortunately, the princess only wanted to live a peaceful life.
However, Mu Zhuochen wanted to hold great power and stand in a superior position, so the two had a fight and then went their separate ways.
The young princess never returned after leaving the capital, and she has not married all these years, perhaps she is still waiting for the person she loves.
Mu Zhuochen also hasn't married for a long time. It's not a matter of whether he has time or not; it's just that he's unwilling.
Perhaps they are both still waiting for each other, but they just lack an opportunity to be together.
Wan Ge had the intention of bringing the two together, but she also felt a strange bitterness that she couldn't explain, like a fishbone stuck in her throat.
…
Wan Ge still wanted to know if Mu Zhuochen's sudden unhappiness was due to something in his relationship.
So when he came to the palace the next day, Wan Ge asked him questions intentionally or unintentionally. These seemingly casual questions were actually tests.
How could someone as intelligent as Mu Zhuochen not have noticed? He put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at Wan Ge in front of him: "Your Majesty, please say what you want to say."
Wan Ge cleared her throat and hesitated before speaking, "I...I just feel that I'm about to get married, but my royal uncle has been single for many years. Is my royal uncle waiting for someone?"
"No." Mu Zhuochen didn't even hesitate for a moment.
Wan Ge, on the contrary, felt that his denial was too quick and even less genuine. It seemed she was right; Mu Zhuochen had a white moonlight in his heart and was still thinking about the person he loved.
