Mu Tuo lowered his eyes when he heard Mu Xi object on the spot, which was obviously expected.
Looking up at her beloved younger brother, Mu Xi stared directly at him, her eyes indifferent.
Ling Fengyi had clearly noticed their subtle aura, but that wasn't his main purpose. If Ling Zhenbao hadn't liked Mu Xi, he wouldn't have wasted a single word.
Ling Fengyi smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that Prince Mu does not agree to this marriage?"
"Hmm, so Prince Ling, you might consider me. My Empress can be given to the Princess."
Mu Tuo smiled, the corners of his eyes curving slightly, carrying a subtle, alluring charm…
It looks like a cunning big fox.
Such a person could devour Ling Zhenbao without spitting out the bones. The subtle, almost imperceptible coldness that flashed across Ling Fengyi's eyes vanished almost instantly.
"Your Majesty is joking. My younger sister and Prince Mu were chosen by my father. Your Majesty cannot separate them."
Mu Tuo shook his head. "Prince Ling, you should know that I agreed, but my brother is not willing, so this contract is void."
He has a deal with Muxi, so naturally he won't make things difficult for him now.
Ling Fengyi's eyes turned cold immediately, and he said with a forced smile, "So Your Majesty is toying with the friendship between our two countries?"
If they can just say they don't want Ling Zhenbao, how much face do they have in Fengluo Kingdom?
Ling Fengyi's eyes darkened slightly as he pulled Ling Zhenbao closer to him. Sure enough, his father was right; this Fengluo Kingdom was unreliable.
Fortunately, he brought his army with him, and they are currently stationed outside. As long as he does not leave safely, their hundreds of thousands of troops will raze Fengluo Kingdom to the ground!
"Your Highness is joking. But why bring so many troops for a marriage alliance? Since the Northern Dance Kingdom is not sincere towards our Fengluo Kingdom, what is the point of this marriage alliance?"
Mu Tuo's smile grew even more meaningful. Looking at Ling Zhenbao in Ling Fengyi's arms, his eyes flickered. "How about my Fengluo Kingdom extends a gesture of hospitality and invites Prince Ling to stay in Fengluo Kingdom for a few days, so that he can show the princess the beautiful landscape of my Fengluo Kingdom?"
Ling Fengyi's gaze fell on Mu Tuo, and he smiled back at him before turning his eyes to Ling Zhenbao beside him.
He spoke softly, "Baby, would you like to stay here for a few days?" Ling Fengyi glanced at Mu Xi and said, "With Prince Mu."
Ling Zhenbao nodded; she also wanted to know what kind of person Mu Xi was.
What kind of life does this woman, who decided to marry him at first sight, lead?
Since Ling Zhenbao had agreed, Ling Fengyi naturally had nothing to say. He looked at Mu Tuo with a faint smile, "Your Majesty, let's put the marriage alliance aside for now and discuss it after the two of them have gotten to know each other better, how about that?"
Ling Fengyi gave him face and conceded a step, which pleased Mu Tuo, who naturally agreed.
Of course, Mu Tuo still had Mu Xi accompany Ling Zhenbao, saying, "Little brother, you are, after all, a prince of Fengluo Kingdom. I'll leave the matter of receiving the Beiwu Kingdom to you."
When Dou Shiliu arrived, he overheard the gist of the conversation on the rooftop: the marriage alliance had been postponed. After all, Mu Tuo, for some unknown reason, hadn't pressured Mu Xi, and Ling Fengyi looked down on their Fengluo Kingdom, but he reluctantly stayed because of Ling Zhenbao.
However, Dou Shiliu knew that as long as Ling Zhenbao did not marry the person in her heart, their Beiwu Kingdom would not send troops to help Mu Tuo.
Suddenly I realize that the cannon fodder character is really someone people are interested in.
But now even Dou Shiliu isn't sure if he has feelings for her, and now a rival for her affections has appeared.
This rival is incredibly beautiful; the host in this world is practically awful in appearance.
Dou Shiliu glanced at the commotion below and saw that after they finished discussing, Mu Tuo was pushed out by Ling. He and Ling Fengyi exchanged a few words indifferently.
Because they were too far away, Dou Shiliu didn't hear what they were saying. He only saw Ling Fengyi nod and then leave with Ling Zhenbao.
Ling Zhenbao kept looking at Mu Xi, but still left with Ling Fengyi.
"master"
Mu Xi glanced calmly at Dou Shiliu on the roof, then nimbly flew down and landed in front of him.
"Is your injury healed?"
Yes, that's right.
Dou Shiliu spun around in front of him to show that she was full of energy. Her eyes flickered as she looked at Mu Xi in front of her and coughed as she asked, "Is that the princess of Beiwu Kingdom?"
Mu Xi nodded calmly. Dou Shiliu subtly moved closer to him, but Ling behind her abruptly blocked her way, looking at her coldly: "An Yi, mind your place."
He had kept her away from Muqi more than once.
Bodyguard and master? Don't be ridiculous. She's not worthy of being called the First Bodyguard.
Dou Shiliu pouted. "Fine, I won't argue with you today." She turned around and disappeared into the shadows.
The gaze that was being cast upon Mu Xi was not without her noticing. A hint of a smile flickered beneath her calm eyes as she pursed her lips and said, "Let's go."
Dou Shiliu followed them around, only to find that Ling Zhenbao had actually come over. Ling Fengyi was not by her side. She had a smile in her eyes, looking all lovestruck. Dou Shiliu was itching to see her like this, but she couldn't come out and make a fuss.
He could only watch helplessly as she went over and handed something to Muxi.
It was a sheet of Xuan paper with characters written on it.
Why can't I be your wife? Can you tell me?
Mu Xi calmly raised his eyes, gazing at the girl in front of him for the first time. Her fluttering eyelashes were incredibly long.
Do you like me?
Ling Zhenbao nodded hesitantly; she had indeed liked him at first sight.
Mu Xi shook her head calmly: "No, you hesitated, so you don't like me, and that's why you can't be my wife."
Ling Zhenbao looked at Mu Xi with a puzzled expression. He was so handsome that she couldn't tell what she liked. Was it really that important?
"Princess, have a good time these past few days. As for the matter of borrowing troops, there's no rush; it all depends on your country's wishes. But Princess, please don't make decisions about your own happiness so casually."
Looking into the girl's innocent eyes, Mu Xi softened her voice and said, "This girl is very beautiful."
Dou Shiliu had never seen him act like this before! His eyes were wide open, and he was hiding in the shadows, squeezing the weeds around him until they were sap-like.
This Ling Zhenbao!
"Ling Zhenbao, the female lead's best friend"
Bai Tuan's silent words only fueled Dou Shiliu's anger.
"The female lead? If the female lead's friends are like this, then isn't the female lead even more amazing?"
Bai Tuan: "Relax, the female lead isn't her type."
It's just a harem novel.
All the men present belonged to the female lead, including Mu Xi. Why? The female lead miraculously cured Mu Xi's legs using an extreme and ambiguous method, and the two were inseparable every day, naturally developing feelings for each other over time.
The melodramatic soap opera has officially begun.
