Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Song Zhi didn't expect that the old emperor would cancel the marriage that he had spent so much effort to arrange so easily. It seemed that he really cared about his country and was unwilling to have any unfavorable factors.

She joyfully took off her wedding gown, revealing her own clothes underneath, and walked out of the sedan chair with light steps.

"Oh, what a pity! I was going to be the prince's consort soon. What kind of thing is this?"

She sighed and shook her head. If she hadn't been unable to suppress the upward curve of her lips, Mu Yuanzhi would have really believed her words.

"Are you so happy that you can't get married?"

He looked hurt, and there seemed to be resentment in his eyes.

Song Zhi shuddered, "Of course not. Well, you guys go ahead and do your thing. Since we can't get married, I'll leave first."

She ran very fast, but before she could take a few steps, she was grabbed by the collar and dragged back.

The gentle and humble smile on Mu Yuanzhi's face was no longer there, replaced by unfathomable stubbornness.

"What Red Luan Star or Purple Myrtle Star? I just want to marry a girl, why is it so serious? I am following my father's instructions not to discuss marriage and not to perform grand ceremonies, but my father didn't say we can't have a wedding night."

Song Zhi was stunned.

It's hard for him to still be thinking about the wedding night at this time. He slapped away the hand that was holding her collar and said sternly, "Sixth Prince, why are you tilting your head?"

Mu Yuanzhi was stunned. He didn't expect Song Zhi to suddenly say something so unrelated.

But he still hesitated and tilted his head.

Song Zhiluo grinned, "Have you cleared out the water in your brain now? If you have, don't say such stupid things anymore."

She rolled her eyes at him and strode out.

Mu Yuanzhi stood there in a daze for a moment, then realized that Song Zhi was teasing him.

Everyone thought that the prince would be furious after being teased like this in public, but Mu Yuanzhi just stared at her back and said dejectedly, "So, why can my eldest brother do this but I can't?"

Song Zhi didn't hear what he said, so naturally he didn't turn around.

Mu Yuanzhi looked at the bridal sedan chair without the bride in it with self-mockery, then looked at the originally festive wedding procession, waved his hand, and became the happy Sixth Prince again.

"It's all gone."

The officials kneeling at the palace gate gradually dispersed. Just as Li Yan was about to leave, Mu Yuanzhi stopped him and asked, "Did Second Emperor ask you to do this?"

Li Yan said respectfully, "Sixth Prince, you are joking. As a fellow prince, the Second Prince is not so omnipotent. Your marriage with Miss Song is destined to be undestined."

After saying that, Li Yan left in a hurry. The Sixth Prince was extremely intelligent, and he was afraid that if he continued to speak, he would be noticed.

As soon as Li Yan left, Mu Yunhe came out in a luxurious carriage. He looked at Mu Yuanzhi with a gloating look, "I thought I could attend Sixth Brother's wedding today, but it turned out to be a false alarm. What a waste of such a grand ceremony."

Mu Yuanzhi didn't want to say much to Mu Yunhe, so he just replied lightly, "Second brother is right," and rode away.

The eunuch beside Mu Yunhe immediately said in dissatisfaction, "What kind of attitude is this, Sixth Prince? He doesn't even take His Highness seriously."

Mu Yunhe's face was gloomy, and he raised his hand to stop the lackey from continuing.

After entering the palace, Mu Yuanzhi went straight to the imperial study. He pushed open the door and said, "Father, why did you suddenly change your mind? Everything for the wedding ceremony was clearly ready."

The emperor glanced at him sideways and said, "How can you be so impetuous? Kneel down."

Mu Yuanzhi's eyes flickered. He wanted to say that Mu Qinghan was more impulsive before, but he had never seen the emperor so strict. He swallowed the words back and knelt down obediently, saying, "Your son knows his mistake."

The emperor nodded, finally nodding in satisfaction, "Father knows that you intend to marry Song Zhi. Do you think I don't want you to marry her? But the strange phenomenon from the sky will hinder my royal family from taking power, so Father has to give it another consideration."

He asked Mu Yuanzhi to stand up in a serious tone, "I fought so hard to conquer the kingdom of Tianqi, I don't want any mistakes."

"You are still young and full of energy. When you become the emperor, you can have any woman you want. She can only be your stepping stone. Don't let her fall in love with you, understand?"

Mu Yuanzhi froze, his expression complicated as he said, "Your Highness will definitely remember your father's teachings."

"Go down."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Remember, always prioritize the overall situation. I will announce the succession in due course. Before then, let me see your methods."

The emperor knew that the second prince was restless, but he did not interfere.

Emperors of all dynasties have advanced on mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and fratricide is a common occurrence. If Mu Yuanzhi cannot be better, then he might as well not have such a useless crown prince.

After coming out of the imperial study, Mu Yuanzhi stood on the steps for a long time.

It is cloudy today, with a slight breeze and a damp feeling. It is much cooler than the previous two days.

He looked at the dark clouds in the sky and thought that it might rain heavily tonight.

What terrible weather.

On the other side, Song Zhi walked towards the Song Mansion with ease.

The common people all knew about this abandoned marriage. Some lamented that Song Zhi was so unlucky that she missed the chance to marry into the royal family twice, while others congratulated Song Zhi for not entering the cannibalistic harem.

However, everyone also lamented that Song Zhi's marriage might be delayed in the future.

After all, for a woman who is almost entering the royal family, no one would dare to propose to her before the royal family publicly announces her stay or departure.

Everyone feels sorry for her. Such a good girl will become an old maid if things don't go her way.

Everyone shook their heads, but this result was exactly what Song Zhi wanted.

After a girl reaches the age of 15, she will start discussing marriage. If she is not in this situation, she will inevitably have to deal with a matchmaker.

It actually saves her trouble right now.

There were just too many people talking, and the cacophony of chatter was giving her a headache.

Unable to bear the harassment, she chose to turn into an alley and take a shortcut back.

The noise in his ears decreased immediately, and Song Zhi felt much better.

However, the comfort lasted only three seconds, as her arm was suddenly pulled to the side by a strong force, and the familiar sandalwood scent hit her face. Before she could react, she was pushed against the wall by a hard chest.

"You don't look good in a red wedding dress."

His voice was hard and filled with suppressed emotions.

Recognizing the person, Song Zhi smiled and said, "It's so sour, oh, it's so sour, do you smell the vinegar?"

Mu Nanqi looked at her deeply.

Song Zhi coaxed, "Alright, what's there to be unhappy about? I just went through a few formalities, and they're not even finished yet."

Mu Nanqi gently stroked her lips with his fingertips, rubbed them twice, then lifted her chin and kissed her.

Song Zhi's body suddenly tensed up.

Mu Nanqi's eyes instantly turned dark as ink, and he quickly pushed her away, "Azhi."

"What are you doing? You are allowed to kiss me, but I am not allowed to kiss you." Song Zhi said righteously and hugged his arms in dissatisfaction.
