Ningbao, I like you.
I originally planned to wait until you were a little older, but I was afraid...
"I'm afraid if I don't tell you, someone else will take you away."
Shen Muyang originally planned to wait for Ningbao to come to her senses, but he became anxious when he heard that several families wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion.
Moreover, the new emperor had already told him that several military officers from Consort Liu's faction had stepped down because of the palace coup shortly after the new emperor's ascension.
Some of them were even border generals, and the new emperor intended to send them back to the border. Moreover, the situation was urgent, and they might have to leave in the next few days.
Shen Muyang was afraid that if he left this time, he might not have another chance, so he wanted to settle the marriage before he left, so that he could feel more at ease.
When Ning Bao heard Shen Muyang say he liked her, she was a little stunned and at a loss at first, but after she came to her senses, she felt a sweet feeling in her heart.
She stared blankly at Shen Muyang.
"Brother Muyang, are you serious?"
Do you like me?
Is it the kind of love that leads to marriage?
Yes, I want to marry you.
Marrying a prince or princess now would definitely prevent them from letting her go, so I want to get engaged to you first.
I might be going to the border in a few days, so....................”
"good!"
Shen Muyang was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Ning Bao in disbelief.
"Ningbao, you said yes?"
Ning Bao nodded.
"That's right, Brother Muyang can come and propose marriage now!"
"Ningbao, you really agreed?" Shen Muyang asked again, somewhat incredulously.
Ning Bao nodded seriously.
"I agree!"
But let's make this clear first: I'm not gentle or considerate, and I won't be like other women who stay in the backyard every day after marriage to take care of the children.
I might go out to do business, or I might go out to cause trouble, or I might even accompany you to the battlefield and fight alongside you. You can't despise me then.
There's one more thing we need to make clear first: you can't take a concubine after we're married, or I'll divorce you.
Shen Muyang answered without hesitation.
"good!"
"Okay? Brother Muyang, you agree?"
Shen Muyang nodded.
Yes, I agree.
"Marrying you alone is enough for me in this lifetime; I will never take a concubine."
Ning Bao was very satisfied with Shen Muyang's answer.
Although she is not sure yet whether her feelings for Shen Muyang are romantic.
However, she felt that if she was destined to be engaged, she would prefer that person to be Shen Muyang.
The key point is that she doesn't dislike Shen Muyang, and she doesn't want Shen Muyang to marry another woman. This is probably what is called liking someone.
........................
Shen Muyang returned to his residence and rushed to Gu Yunrou that very night to tell her that he wanted to get engaged.
Gu Yunrou's heart skipped a beat; she had thought Shen Muyang had taken a liking to someone else.
Unexpectedly, the person Shen Muyang wanted to propose to was Ning Bao.
This made Gu Yunrou very happy, and she went to the Prince's Mansion early the next morning to confirm with Su Jingshu.
Because Ning Bao was sleeping in and hadn't had a chance to share the news with Su Jingshu, Su Jingshu was stunned when she heard that Ning Bao had agreed to marry Shen Muyang.
They immediately sent someone to Ning'an Pavilion to inquire. After Su Jingshu received confirmation, Gu Yunrou and Su Jingshu busied themselves with the task...
