After the words fell, the inner room became eerily quiet for a moment.

Yan Li raised her gaze slightly and landed on his handsome and delicate face: "Are you willing to abandon your country for me?"

Mu Cang slowly shook his head: "It's not betrayal, it's just a choice."

"I never thought about it." Yan Li relaxed her body, looked at Mu Cang sitting in front of her, and stretched out her hand to lift his hair in a playful way, "There are not many people in the nine countries in the world that I can admire, and you rank first.

."

Mu Cang was silent, and the corners of his lips rose imperceptibly: "It's my pleasure."

"So I won't let you bear the stigma." Yan Li said calmly, "The glorious God of War Prince deserves to be admired by others all his life, rather than bear the infamy for love."

Mu Cang's smile faded slightly, and the corners of his mouth slowly pursed.

The heart palpitations surged like an overwhelming force, making it almost impossible to resist.

Yan Li's eyebrows were calm, and there seemed to be a convincing power in his voice: "The Southern Kingdom is already the overlord of the world, and its position is as stable as Mount Tai. There is no need to incorporate other countries' territories into its own territory."

"I am ambitious and want to give my people a prosperous life and make the Southern Kingdom more prosperous and powerful, but I have no ambition and do not want to plunge all countries into war."

Mu Cang hummed, not surprised to hear her words.

He always knew.

Even if she has no feelings, she has always been an upright and upright woman, disdainful of scheming against others.

He has the world in mind, has the majesty of an emperor, has a broad mind, is tolerant of others, and has a heart to love the people.

How can one not fall in love with such a woman?

Mu Cang sighed silently.

He knew that he had fallen into her hands as early as four years ago... maybe not just four years ago, but even longer.

It's just that she didn't know it.

"It's getting late, go back and rest early." Yan Li let go of his hair and said calmly, "Don't do this kind of thing like visiting a woman's boudoir at night again."

Mu Cang lowered his eyebrows: "Except for you, I won't explore anyone else's boudoir at night."

Tomorrow she will officially marry into the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Naturally, he does not need to "visit at night" and can stay with her openly and openly anytime and anywhere.

Yan Li's expression became more subtle.

I always feel that Mu Cang at this time is nothing like that cold and ruthless prince. He is really... too soft, completely different from his cold and hard temperament.

It actually looks a bit...well, like a coquettish wolf-dog?

Yan Li held his forehead, not sure if what he felt was right.

Mu Cang didn't know what Yan Li was thinking, so he stood up and said with some reluctance: "You should also rest early."

Yan Li hummed and took the initiative to speak: "The wedding will not be cancelled. Ming Qi does not approve of me marrying you, but I make my own decisions, so you don't have to think too much."

After a pause, "Although I am not Xihe now, I still stick to my word and will never go back on my word."

Mu Cang nodded lightly, then turned around and left with peace of mind.

Yan Li didn't get up to see him off, she just leaned on the bedside and watched Mu Cang open the window and jump out, just as quietly as when he came.

Yan Li stared at the carved window quietly for a long time and sighed softly.

It seems more difficult.

The attitude Mu Cang showed tonight was really different from his usual image.

Yan Li slowly lay down on the bed, putting his hands behind his head and couldn't help but feel a little lost.

If she is a jealous person, she will definitely wonder if Mu Cang deliberately set a gentle trap in an attempt to use feelings to achieve some ulterior purpose?

But Mu Cang is not that kind of person.

In fact, compared to the ulterior motives who use feelings as a weapon, Mu Cang, who worries about gains and losses for a woman, is even more incredible.

The word "love" really causes people a lot of trouble.

…

The sixth day of April is auspicious and suitable for getting married.

The sky was turning white, so Aunt An led Qing Lian and others inside, and respectfully called Yan Li up from the bed:

"The princess is getting married today, so she needs to change clothes and make up early."

Yan Li stood up and leaned against the head of the bed, eyes slightly closed sleepily.

I lost sleep last night because of Mu Cang's arrival. I thought about it for a long time and didn't fall asleep until late at night.

A little girl at this age is still growing.

Yan Li woke up and took a nap for a while, opened her eyes, and turned around to look around.

Grandma An and a group of maids were waiting in turn. The two female officials in red robes at the head were beautiful, majestic and dignified. They were holding wedding dresses and phoenix crowns in their hands. The other maids were holding toiletries and stood respectfully.

Looking back, Yan Lidan asked: "What time is it?"

The sky was gray and it was obviously not completely bright yet.

"Mao's hour has just arrived." Aunt An said with a smile, "We are very happy today, but we cannot delay the auspicious time."

Yan Li calculated secretly that he might have slept for less than two hours.

...It's all Mu Cang's fault.

He stayed up most of the night, sneaked into her boudoir like a flower thief, and said some sultry words.

Deliberately not wanting her to have a good night's sleep.

However, Yan Li then thought about it and guessed, did Mu Cang sleep after returning to the palace last night?

Will you be too nervous to sleep?

The image of someone standing in front of the window completely awake appeared in his mind, and Yan Li couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, feeling... quite fresh.

At Nanny An's urging, Yan Li quickly got up to change clothes, wash up, drink a cup of morning tea, and eat a few bites of breakfast.

After changing into a wedding dress, the maids sat her down in front of the dressing table.

The maids, all dressed cheerfully, stood aside, performing their respective duties, combing hair, combing hair, applying make-up, drawing eyebrows, and applying hairpins.

"The princess is so beautiful today." The female official from the palace said in amazement, "She has a stunning face and a natural aura of nobility."

Others nodded and said with a smile: "The wedding dress is beautiful, and the person is even more beautiful."

There was a slight smile on Yan Li's face and she remained silent.

There was also a lot of excitement outside Liuli Courtyard, and everyone in the Jiang family was busy.

Even Jiang Jingyue was able to have a good rest in this lively day, put on a beautiful dress, and came over to add makeup to Yan Li.

"cousin."

With a soft call, Jiang Jingyue, dressed in bright makeup, stepped across the threshold and walked slowly to the dressing table.

Looking at the girl in front of her, surprise and jealousy flashed across her eyes.

Yan Li has always been beautiful, and today she is even more stunningly beautiful.

The girl's wedding dress is like a fire, which makes her eyebrows more delicate and delicate, and the red flower between her eyebrows is bright and moving.

The crow-green hair on the temples was dotted with several hairpin flowers, the rubies inlaid in them were extremely luxurious, and the seven-tailed gold hairpin inserted diagonally in the bun showed her noble status, making Jiang Jingyue jealous.

The appearance of the fourteen-year-old girl should have been innocent and immature, but against the backdrop of this priceless wedding dress and headdress, she looked naturally noble and stunning.

Jiang Jingyue gently clasped her hands.

The wedding dress made in the palace's workshop was made according to the princess's specifications.

This is the Ninth Prince's partial favor for Yan Li.

By the time she got married to the prince, all the light and limelight had already been taken away by Yan Li. If she was not as good as Yan Li, she would be overshadowed.

But Jiang Jingyue knew better than anyone else that the prince's current situation simply did not allow him to have a grander wedding than that of the Ninth Prince.

So Jiang Jingyue is destined to be suppressed by Yan Liyan.

"Cousin, did you come here today to be in a daze?" Yan Li sat quietly, with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, "Look at you gnashing your teeth, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Jingyue came to her senses awkwardly and smiled awkwardly: "My cousin was joking. I'm really happy for my cousin."

Yan Li was noncommittal.
