Chapter 254 - Matchmaker (2)
When Princess Consort Lin heard this, the smile on her face immediately faded and her face darkened . She awkwardly tugged the corner of her lips and then she turned around to give Imperial Concubine Lin a look .
Imperial Concubine was sitting next to the Emperor . Hearing Long Muchenâs words, the Emperorâs face froze a bit and then he immediately mediated, âFourteenth Brother, donât blame this Royal Brother for being too talkative, but youâre not that young anymore either . Itâs time for you to get married . Youâre the youngest of the late Emperorâs sons, and the others have long been married . Their kids are quite old as well . Even this Emperor's sons are married too . As their Royal Uncle, how can you be lacking against them?â
Long Muchen faintly smiled and one couldnât see through his expression . He elegantly took a sip of tea and said in a formal tone, âMany thanks to the Royal Brother . This Prince is in the military for the majority of the time . Even more, the situation by the border of Sheng Chen isnât stable either . Therefore, I donât have any plans to get married . If Imperial Concubine Lin is rushing to find a suitor for Zhaoyang, this Prince can recommend a few . â
It was clear that he was rejecting the offer and this struck Zhaoyangâs heart badly .
Rong Guangâs women were mostly bold and unrestrained, especially towards their feelings . They donât easily cry because they encountered a challenge . She sniffled and then asked stubbornly, âBrother Chen, do you hate me?â
âNoâ¦â Long Muchen said the truth .
âThen you like meâ¦â
âThis Prince said that I only treat you like a sisterâ¦â
âBrother Chen, donât say this . I only know that between men and women, there is only dislike and like . Since you like me and treat me as your sister, you can also try to accept me . Let me become your Princess Consort . â Princess Zhaoyang faced the pressure and said even more boldly!
Towards Zhaoyangâs courage, the Emperor smiled . âZhaoyang is right . You guys have known each other since children . Obviously, you guys will be better together than others . Fourteenth Brother, donât be so quick to reject it . After all, you should get along with Zhaoyang first⦠Plus, before the Empress Dowager died, other than picking a Princess Consort for Yuâer, she was most worried for your marriage . â
âAs they say, there are three things that make you unfilial . One of them is not having a family . Do you really have the heart to ignore Empress Dowagerâs thoughts?â
Long Muchen slightly narrowed his eyes, a bit unhappy . He said in a straightforward tone, âRoyal Brother, let me tell you the truth . I have someone that I like . Iâm only marrying her in my life . â
When Zhaoyang heard this, she was really upset by Long Muchenâs complete rejection . She violently coughed, unable to accept this . n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Imperial Concubine Lin hurriedly called the imperial physician over, startled . They took the pulse for Zhaoyang .
âImperial physician, how is Princess Zhaoyang?â Seeing Zhaoyangâs red face, Imperial Concubine Lin asked worriedly .
âReport to the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Lin, Princess Zhaoyang is fine . She was just startled . Plus, because she wasnât used to the conditions in Sheng Chen and didnât get enough sleep, she started to have asthma . â
Seeing her daughter tearing up, Prince Lian was angry . He pulled Zhaoyang and wanted to leave . âZhaoyang, leave with me . Since Prince Chen doesnât feel the same way, there is no point in you pestering him . Even more, youâll make a joke of yourself . I donât believe that there arenât any good men in our Rong Guang Country . Do you have to marry someone in Sheng Chen?â
