Just when Mu Jinnian was about to send someone to urge them, he saw Mu Yunyao walking slowly with Qingyun into the flower hall.

"I have met His Highness the Third Prince."

Mu Yunyao bowed slightly.

"No need to be polite, young lady."

Baili Xun specially changed into an apricot-yellow outfit today. His concubine had said that he looked particularly handsome in this color, so he asked someone to find out before he went out.

Baili Xun deliberately put on a smile that he thought was his most charming.

"I have seen the elegance of the young lady before, and this prince is very envious of her. I wonder if there is a chance for me to travel with her?"

Mu Yunyao felt a little strange about Baili Xun's words. It sounded like he was interested in her.

Mu Yunyao didn't indulge him and said directly.

"Mu Mingzhu is the Third Prince's fiancée, and Yun Yao is still your aunt. Doesn't the Third Prince think this is a bit too much?"

Seeing that she dared to lecture the prince, Mu Jinnian was about to scold Baili Xun but shook his head at him to indicate that he didn't need to care.

"If the young lady is willing, you can be the third prince's consort."

He had just discussed this with Mu Jinnian. Not to mention that Mu Mingzhu was just an adopted daughter of the prime minister's family and was not worthy of him at all.

Because of what happened in the Huguo Temple before, Mu Mingzhu's reputation has been ruined. Even if she marries into the Third Prince's mansion, she will never be able to become the principal wife.

When Mu Yunyao saw the reactions of the two people, she knew that this had been discussed before.

She didn't know how Mu Jinnian could be willing to give Baili Xun such a large dowry despite her mother's kindness, or whether this was just a delaying tactic.

But there was no way she would let them succeed.

"You are joking, Third Prince. The person you are engaged to is Mu Mingzhu, and I don't have the habit of taking someone else's favorite. Besides, Yun Yao already has a lover, so there is absolutely no way she will change her mind."

The Third Prince was inevitably annoyed when he saw her rejection so straightforwardly, but when he thought about how long it had been since Mu Yunyao returned to the capital and how few people she had met, he wondered how it was possible that she had a lover.

As for the place where she used to live, that was even more impossible. How could such a talented person come from a rural place?

It can make her never forget it and make her give up the wealth and glory that is within her reach.

As the Third Prince thought so, his originally purple face returned to normal and he even put on a false smile.

"I wonder what kind of amazing person he is that could make the young lady so interested in him."

Mu Yunyao didn't feel embarrassed and said it directly.

"The commander of the Black Armor Army, the governor of the Ministry of Punishment - Xiao Qianhei."

Mu Yunyao spoke the last three words in a resounding voice, making sure that everyone present could hear them clearly.

Mu Jinnian, who was drinking tea, sprayed it out directly and put the teacup heavily on the table.

"Who are you talking about?"

Mu Yunyao had no interest in repeating herself, so she responded directly.

"It is just as the Prime Minister heard. Why do I need to say it again?"

"You, you...he is a eunuch."

The third prince just stayed there, and Mu Jinnian stuttered and couldn't speak clearly.

Mu Yunyao rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

"I know, you don't have to be so loud, sir."

The third prince, who finally came to his senses, finally became angry.

"Mu Yunyao, you are humiliating this prince."

Mu Yunyao looked at him neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Your Highness the Third Prince, Governor Xiao is extremely talented, extremely powerful, and extremely handsome. He is the dream lover of many girls in the capital.

Yun Yao is just an ordinary girl. What's wrong with envying his looks and talent? How can it be considered as humiliating you?"

Of course Mu Yunyao knew what Baili Xun was angry about. He just felt that her third prince looked down on him and humiliated him by liking a eunuch rather than becoming his.

But why didn't he think about the fact that apart from his background and his healthy body, how could he compare to Xiao Qianmo?

In fact, in Mu Yunyao's eyes, putting Xiao Qianmo against him was an insult to Xiao Qianmo.

Mu Yunyao's blunt words sounded like humiliation to Baili Xun.

Could it be that in her eyes, apart from my status, there is no other aspect that can compare to that eunuch?

No wonder Mu Mingzhu said that her sister who was brought back from outside was so unlikable. Just her mouth made it hard to like her.

"You are shameless. How can a woman say such things?"

"You men are allowed to be lustful, but we women are not allowed to admire talented and handsome men. I just said what most people dare not say, so how can I be shameless?

Isn't it much better than those hypocrites who eat from the bowl and stare at the pot? "

Everyone present knew exactly who this hypocrite was talking about, but no one dared to speak out.

"I see that the Third Emperor is here today, so you should talk to him about Mu Mingzhu.

On that day in the Huguo Temple, many people ran into them hugging and cuddling each other in the same room.

Although the two had already been engaged, they did not get married in the end. If they had delayed it any further, rumors would have spread everywhere.

Why not set a date early for Mu Mingzhu to come over?"

Mu Jinnian also knew that this matter could not be delayed. Originally, he thought Mu Mingzhu was valuable and wanted her to enter the Eastern Palace. Now it seems that it is good enough for her to enter the Third Prince's Mansion and become his principal wife.

As for other things, we can talk about it later. After all, he has more than one daughter, Mu Mingzhu, so he can just pick another one who is available and register her under the name of his wife.

Mu Jinnian thought so and followed Mu Yunyao's words.

"Your Highness, what Yun Yao said is not wrong. Since the incident has already happened, it would be bad for both of us if we continue to delay it. How about this old minister go to the director of the Imperial Observatory tomorrow to ask if there are any good days in the near future?"

Originally, Baili Xun was supposed to ask about this matter himself, but given the current situation, Mu Jinnian didn't dare to count on him.

It would be good if this matter is settled sooner.

As for Mu Mingzhu's useless chess pieces, of course they were thrown away.

Baili Xun was already furious with Mu Yunyao's criticism, so how could he look happy when he heard these words?

"Prime Minister Mu must have made a mistake. Why would we need to trouble the people of the Imperial Observatory to bring a concubine into the palace?"

Mu Jinnian was stunned by his words.

The marriage between the two families was arranged by the Imperial Concubine herself. How come the wife has become a concubine now?

After all, she is Mu Jinnian's daughter. The Third Prince is not taking him seriously by doing this.

The third prince was angry and didn't care about his expression.

In turn, he accused him.

"Did Prime Minister Mu make a mistake? How can an adopted daughter with an unknown background become my principal wife? If it is Miss Mu, this prince may consider her."

The Third Prince glanced at Mu Yunyao from the corner of his eye. He had already promised her the position of principal wife, so he didn't believe that she wouldn't be tempted.

Mu Yunyao remained unmoved, and sat on the mountain watching the fight between two tigers, sipping her tea and waiting for the result.

"If the Third Prince wants to go too far, even though Mingzhu is an adopted daughter, she grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion since she was a child. She is the apple of my Mu family's eye. How can I let her be someone's concubine?"

Baili Xun laughed when he heard this.

"They can't be a concubine, but they can drug a man and get into bed with him. The Mu family is well-educated and has a good family tradition.

If Prime Minister Mu is unwilling, you can choose another good husband for Miss Mu Er. This prince will not force it. I will go to the palace later to report to my mother and return the agreed items. "
