Chapter 312 Here comes the gift!
Anyway, the old master had no objection to their marriage. Moreover, the emperor's attitude towards him had improved a lot recently. Although the work was tiring, the emperor had not mentioned the marriage with Prince Ming again. So he was already very grateful!
In fact, ever since Duanmu Chuze revealed his feelings to them, Mu Chang'an had come to a realization.
Given Mu Xin Nuan's current reputation and status, it's impossible for her to marry down!
In that case, why not consider this prince of such a young age?
Before, without comparison, Mu Chang'an always thought that Chu Rong was a good child, and being from a military family, coupled with the friendship between their two families, his daughter would naturally not suffer any grievances after marrying into the family. But now, with the Prince of Chang Le as a comparison, Mu Chang'an truly felt that his previous perspective had been too narrow.
The Prince of Changle's noble status goes without saying, and the three years of experience on the frontier battlefield have made him calm and wise in his dealings with others.
In addition, Prince Chang Le and Princess Jing are the closest of friends, and Princess Jing and Mu Xin Nuan have always been on good terms. Princess Jing often defends Mu Xin Nuan in public and always speaks up for her. If they become sisters-in-law in the future, there is naturally no need to worry about being bullied.
Furthermore, and more importantly, even if Prince Chang Le currently supports the Crown Prince, if Prince Ming were to ascend the throne in the future, he would not be willing to kill his younger brother!
Firstly, because in the past three years, Prince Chang Le has achieved too many military exploits on the border and has gained immense prestige. Whoever ascends the throne in the future will have to think twice before trying to touch him.
Secondly, since they are brothers by blood, unless there is a great grudge, it is unlikely to come to the point of execution. At most, they would be stripped of their titles or confined to their residences.
Thirdly, Duanmu Chuze's abilities are not limited to military affairs!
He appears to be idle and neglecting state affairs all day long, but in reality, he is looking for a way out for his own future.
He also knew that his achievements were too great, and if he were to be resented by others in the future, wouldn't that be a curse rather than a blessing?
That's why he did it this way, so that others would think that although he had military achievements, he was still young, didn't like to be restrained, and loved to have fun. People like that are more reliable to use!
This is precisely where Prince Chang Le's shrewdness lies! It will also be his talisman in the future.
Finally, Duanmu Chuze got his wish and openly visited the Mu residence. He saw his beloved, but he didn't stay long before getting up to take his leave.
Mu Xin Nuan returned to Yue Xuan and suddenly felt that something was missing, but what was it? She couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Miss, this is a gift that the master gave you today. How could you have forgotten about it in the flower hall?"
Mu Xin Nuan came to her senses and realized that something was missing. She couldn't help but mutter, "They said they came to see me, but they didn't even bring a gift. They really have no sincerity."
"What? What did you say, Miss?"
"It's nothing. Pack your things and go rest."
"Yes, ma'am."
Today it was Mu Hua's turn to keep watch. She made up her bed in the outer room early and then came in to persuade the young lady who was reading.
"It's getting late, and besides, you always read at night, which might hurt your eyes."
"It's alright, I'll watch for a little while longer and then go to sleep. You go to sleep."
"Miss hasn't gone to bed yet, how can I sleep?" Mu Hua glanced outside. "How about I go and make you some lotus seed soup? You don't need much tonight."
"Alright, don't make it too complicated. Just do whatever comes to mind."
"Yes, ma'am."
After Mu Xin Nuan finished speaking, she continued to read with her head down. After a while, her eyes caught sight of the jade hairpin, and she couldn't help but pick it up and play with it.
As she looked at him, she couldn't help but think of Duanmu Chuze's face, and she felt a little annoyed. She cursed under her breath, "That damned Duanmu Chuze! He said he was coming to see me for the holiday, but he didn't bring any gifts. He's so thoughtless!"
"Who is Ah Nuan saying doesn't have thoughts?"
A clear, melodious voice rang out, with a hint of mockery. Upon hearing it, Mu Xin Nuan's eyes lit up with joy, and the corners of her lips curved into a smile.
However, when she looked up again, she seemed a little annoyed and scolded, "You just left not long ago, why are you back again?"
"I haven't delivered the gift yet, so of course I have to make another trip."
Mu Xin Nuan blushed, knowing that he had overheard her earlier complaints. She glared at him reproachfully and turned away, ignoring him.
Coincidentally, the candlelight in the room was flickering, and her appearance, both shy and slightly annoyed, was like a peach blossom, making Duanmu Chuze feel a strong urge to embrace her.
"Ah Nuan, how did you manage to be so beautiful?"
Mu Xin Nuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at him sideways, "If I'm not beautiful anymore, will you stop liking me?"
"How could that be? If we grow old together in the future, I promise I will only look at you and not at anyone else."
That sounds nice!
"You didn't come here to deliver a gift? Why haven't you taken it out? Are you trying to trick me again?"
"Of course not!" Duanmu Chuze suddenly remembered and quickly took out a small box from his sleeve.
"Take a look and see if you like it. I just got this from the palace. That's why I rushed to the Mu residence so excitedly, but I forgot about it. I'll have to come back again."
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him, thinking to herself that this guy never hesitates to lie. What do you mean he forgot? He's clearly just trying to use this opportunity to do it again!
Too lazy to call out his promise, Mu Xin Nuan reached out and took the box, gently opened it, and her eyes lit up!
That's really bright!
Because lying quietly inside that brocade box was a huge luminous pearl!
Even though there were already several candles in the room, they still couldn't dim the brilliance of the night-shining pearl.
Mu Xin Nuan was shocked that he had given her such a large luminous pearl as a gift.
This luminous pearl is probably not much smaller than an egg, and it's worth far more than ten thousand gold pieces!
This Duanmu Chuze is really generous and rich!
“I know you like reading, but reading for too long at night is bad for your eyes. But you never listen to my advice. Fine, since you’ve already got this, I’ll just give it to you. Otherwise, I’ll end up marrying a blind mother-in-law in the future.”
Mu Xin was deeply touched, but his teasing made her angry again. "You're the blind old woman!"
"Haha! I'm a man, so even if I go blind in the future, I'll only be an old man."
