Mu Qi leaned closer to Duan Yang and whispered, "Brother Duan, what do you think of my little sister?"
Duan Yang was taken aback upon hearing this, and after thinking about it seriously, said, "Straightforward and magnanimous."
Undeterred, Mu Qi asked, "Ahem... is there anything else?"
Duan Yang looked at Mu Qi with a puzzled expression, unsure of what to say.
He had only seen Muya a few times when Muqi took her sightseeing, and his impression of her was not deep. He only felt that Muya was cheerful and seemed to have endless things to say.
Judging from Duan Yang's expression, Mu Qi knew that Duan Yang didn't have any romantic feelings for his sister. Mu Ya, on the other hand, seemed to admire Duan Yang to some extent, but Mu Qi wasn't really sure.
Muya is already fifteen or sixteen, the age for marriage proposals. Men usually get married around twenty and women around eighteen, though some may get married a year or two earlier or later.
When they are fifteen or sixteen, they will first arrange a marriage, and then they will get married when they reach the appropriate age.
A thin young man, accompanied by a thin servant, hurried through the crowd near the West Bridge toward Fu Man Lou.
The two were Mu Ya and her maid Xiao Ya, who had secretly come out.
Mu Ya: "Oh dear, hurry up, hurry up! Brother is going to Fu Man Lou for a nice meal, but he didn't take me! Humph, I want to go too!"
Little Maid: "Miss, wait for me, slow down, slow down..."
Mu Ya turned around and said with displeasure, "Call me Young Master."
Xiao Ya: "Yes, young master."
Muya nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's more like it."
While talking to someone, he wasn't paying attention to where he was going and bumped straight into the person in front of him.
Little Girl: "Ah, young... young master, be careful."
Mu Ya turned around and frowned, saying, "Who is it? Can't you watch where you're going..."
What catches the eye is a bright yellow brocade robe.
A tall figure stood backlit, his handsome face with a gentle smile on his lips.
This person is none other than Murong Qing, the fourth prince of the current dynasty, and the only son of Imperial Noble Consort Qin Fei.
Consort Qin was also a legendary woman. When the current emperor ascended the throne at the age of thirty, she had a child with a maidservant when he was still a prince, and the child was the eldest prince.
He married the current empress at the age of twenty. The current empress came from a scholarly family and was a typical lady of high society. After marriage, she gave birth to the crown prince and the third prince.
The emperor was quite capable of governing the country, and within ten years of ascending the throne, he had taken control of the previous dynasty.
Qin Fei is the orphan of a general, and she goes through many twists and turns in order to seek justice for her father.
Finally, with the help of the Grand Tutor, she met the current emperor. The emperor, who was nearly forty years old, was attracted by Qin Fei's unique temperament. In addition, it was found that the general was loyal to the country and was betrayed by his subordinates, which led to him being charged with treason.
This charge was set by the late emperor.
After investigating the matter, the Emperor exonerated the Qin family and announced it to the world, posthumously bestowing upon General Qin the title of Protector of the Nation.
Qin Fei, grateful for the Emperor's favor, was willing to enter the palace as a maid to take care of the Emperor's daily life.
The young and beautiful woman, Qin Fei, was filled with love and admiration. The emperor, who was nearly forty years old, fell in love with her and promoted her to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort.
For more than a decade, the emperor's favor remained undiminished, and his fourth son was especially favored by the emperor. The emperor even considered deposing the crown prince and appointing the fourth prince as crown prince on several occasions.
Only after the Imperial Noble Consort's persistent persuasion did he give up the idea. After that, the Emperor showed even more favor to the Imperial Noble Consort and the Fourth Prince.
Qin Fei was a grateful woman. She didn't want to put the Emperor in a difficult position, and she also respected the Empress. She felt a bit of pity for the Empress who had lived in the deep palace for a long time. In addition, His Highness the Crown Prince was indeed an upright and honest heir who cared about the world.
If the Crown Prince were to succeed to the throne, he would surely be a wise and benevolent ruler who would bring blessings to the people. She had experienced hardship and knew the difficulties faced by the common people.
They did not want to see the dynasty fall into turmoil and the people displaced.
They also do not want their children to have their hands stained with the blood of their brothers and compatriots and end up alone and isolated.
She was insightful and taught the fourth prince from a young age to be respectful to his brothers, to be an assistant to the crown prince, and to become a wise and virtuous king.
Whether it was because she talked too much that it aroused Murong Qing's rebellious mentality, or because the child had grown up and developed his own ambitions, Murong Qing pretended to be respectful and filial on the surface, but secretly he was cultivating his own power and making constant small moves.
