"Flower Monk..."
"Good boy, you should go back to class!"
Wu Chen held Hua Qingcheng's face and gave her a tender kiss on the forehead. Then he let her go and walked towards the palace without looking back.
Looking at Wuchen, who left with a lot on his mind, and his desolate and lonely figure, Hua Qingcheng covered her heart, feeling the pain there...
At the end of noon, in the East Palace, Lingkun Courtyard, Mu Lige’s bedroom.
Mu Lige, who was taking a lunch break, suddenly opened his eyes and saw Wu Chen sitting at the desk in the room, flipping through the book "Laifeng History".
"Achen?"
Because Zuo An was there, Mu Lige slept soundly and peacefully, so he didn't hear any movement. He was a little surprised to see Wu Chen coming.
"Brother~"
"Really... It's been a long time since I heard you call me like that."
Wu Chen touched the twelve scars from his Buddhist ordination on his shiny bald head and smiled at Mu Lige with a ruffian look on his face.
Wu Chen no longer called Mu Lige "Royal Brother" as he did before, but simply called him "Brother" like ordinary people did, and deliberately omitted the word "Tang".
"You need me for something?"
Mu Lige suppressed the loneliness in his heart. If possible, he...why would he want to alienate himself from this cousin? After all, the close brotherly love they once had was genuine.
"It seems that my brother really cares about Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Wu Chen casually flipped through the book "Laifeng History" and looked at the dense red annotations in Mu Lige's handwriting. It was easy to imagine how seriously he read the book. And this seriousness was all due to his love for Hua Qingcheng.
"Qingqing has never received the education of a crown prince before. I am just trying to help her understand more about the national situation first."
Mu Lige did not hide his intentions. After all... Wu Chen never had any ill will towards him.
"Brother~"
"Do you remember when we were in Huaqiao Village, you promised me that I could make a request of you?"
Wu Chen stood up from the desk, walked to Mu Lige, and helped him sit on the couch.
"For Qingqing?"
Mu Lige was not surprised. After all, he had already prepared himself mentally.
"If you say so... it's not wrong. My request is that after the ceremony of your crown princess's enthronement as the monarch, I be allowed to... marry my 'good sister'."
Although this was decided by the emperors of the two countries and is irreversible, Wu Chen still hopes to get Mu Lige's approval.
Even if... it's just to let him be Hua Qingcheng's nominal husband for a few days.
"It has to be her?" Mu Lige lowered his eyes slightly.
"Yes." Wu Chen faced Mu Lige calmly.
"You are the 'Prince Helun' of Zhaoyang Kingdom who was married off with the emperor's permission. This matter does not require my opinion." Mu Lige suppressed the sadness in his heart and spoke frankly.
"Brother~"
"If time could go back, would you... regret taking care of me when I was a child?"
Wu Chen's bright eyes looked at Mu Lige, full of anticipation and a hint of cautious uneasiness.
Mu Lige's eyes wandered as he turned to look eastwards towards Zhaoyang State. He recalled the mischievous little monk in Tianlong Temple when he was little. He only uttered two words clearly with his lips slightly parted: "No!"
"Okay~"
Wu Chen's eyes were slightly red.
How could he not be moved when his elder brother, even though he didn't know his identity, still had a brotherly affection for him?
His brother is now the princess of Laifeng Kingdom. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the husband of the emperor who is the father of Laifeng Kingdom and the emperor of the world in the future.
My elder brother has already started a new life, while he is all alone. Let him, the younger brother, avenge his father and mother...
