Duan Yunfei had not yet informed Zuo Yuan of Mu Chuyang’s rejection of the engagement with Duan Yunfei proposed by Emperor Yuwen to Mu Chuyang. In addition, Duan Yunfei has been busy meeting all kinds of children of officials these days, so he forgot about this matter. So when Duan Yunfei heard Zuo Yuan say that he came to him today for the sake of serious business, Duan Yunfei felt doubts in his heart.
If Wu Shan hadn’t gone to find Mu Chuyang that day, he wouldn’t know when Zuo Yuan knew about this. When he thought of Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang’s relationship, he wouldn’t know what situation he should go, Zuo Yuan would have to worry about the two.
Due to Duan Yunfei’s good face, if he told Duan Yunfei directly that the real purpose of this trip was to repair the relationship between Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang, he would probably not agree to go there.
Even if Duan Yunfei knew that this time was accompanied by Mu Chuyang, Duan Yunfei might not have agreed to Zuo Yuan’s proposal in order not to make the situation awkward.
After Duan Yunfei saw that Zuo Yuan said this, he had no explanation for a long time, so he couldn’t help but ask what the matter she was talking about.
“Didn’t you say that you have something to talk to me? Why don’t you say it again? Are you trying to cheer up my appetite?”
Zuo Yuan rarely talked to Duan Yunfei so seriously, which made Duan Yunfei a little nervous. Over the past month, there have been too many things. If Duan Yunfei had not been strong enough in her heart, she would probably have been unable to hold on.
“Oh, don’t be so nervous. I said it was a serious matter, but I didn’t say it was a good thing.” Zuo Yuan knew that Duan Yunfei was in a heavy mood now, and she blamed herself for making everything with Wu Shan yesterday. If she had greeted Emperor Yuwen before, it would have been easier to do it.
But now, if we first mentioned the trip with Duan Yunfei, Emperor Yuwen would not let them go out because Duan Yunfei’s marriage has not yet been decided, wouldn’t it be a disappointment?
Duan Yunfei did not relax her vigilance because of Zuo Yuan’s words. During this period, she listened to the so-called serious matters almost every day, but none of them was a good thing.
The serious matter that Emperor Yuwen and Duan Yunfei talked about was to discuss marriage for her. Mu Chuyang hurried into the palace and told Duan Yunfei the serious matter to prevent her from getting engaged with others and to inform her about her feelings for Duan Yunfei over the years. Princess Mu came to Hongluan Hall in person, in order to ask Duan Yunfei to visit Princess Mu, who was seriously ill because of her. Even the other day, Emperor Yuwen summoned her again, and the matter was to tell her that Mu Chuyang had rejected the marriage.
Duan Yunfei felt that his life was completely disrupted. In the past, he had to do what he liked. He went out, practiced martial arts, played chess, and tasted tea… But since the ceremony, various things have emerged one after another, and various troubles have come one after another, making Duan Yunfei unable to withstand it.
“Just just say it. Whether it is a good or a bad thing, I am mentally prepared. Just say it with confidence.”
Zuo Yuan couldn’t explain how to describe Duan Yunfei’s expression when she said this, as if she was facing a great enemy. She was clearly resistant in her heart, but she had to accept it.
“In the past few days, the threshold of your Hongluan Palace will be flattened by the empresses of each palace. Although I am in the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion, I also know how difficult it is for you in the past few days. I have heard of the young masters selected by the Queen for you. Although it is not too bad, to be honest, I am just a mediocre person and I am really not a good match for you.
