The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 186 A natural match

Li Mulan thought this proposal was indeed good. She didn't have to fight with the old fox to break off the engagement, nor did she have to worry about her family planning a marriage. She had a backer in the Great Chu, ha ha ha. It was beautiful to think about it, but was there really such a good thing in the world? What did the regent want?

Chu Chenfeng met her puzzled look, and instantly understood, and slowly said, "Of course, it is impossible to say that I have no selfish motives."

Li Mulan's expression improved a little. She said, how can a regent in such a high position do such a loss-making business? No one would believe it if she told others.

"Now that it's all said and done, Your Majesty, please feel free to speak."

Chu Chenfeng smiled bitterly, looking a little sad. “Although I am in a high position, I can’t do whatever I want. Just like the Empress Dowager, she will be back in the palace soon. Although I have been raised in her palace since I was a child, I am not her biological son after all. Especially in the current situation, Lan’er also knows that the Empress Dowager…”

"She doesn't believe you?" Li Mulan immediately guessed what he had not said.

Chu Chenfeng nodded.

"You have already given the throne to her grandson. What else does she have to doubt? If you really want to be disloyal, just continue to be the emperor." At this point, Li Mulan frowned and looked at Chu Chenfeng, "You don't even want to be the emperor. You are really a strange person."

"Haha, there's nothing strange about it. This is not my ambition. Xiaojie is growing up. He is my elder brother's child. It is most appropriate for him to be the king."

Speaking of Xiaojie, Li Mulan really missed the child. "Xiaojie is so young, but he has to bear so many responsibilities. Sigh."

Chu Chenfeng's eyes darkened, "Born in a royal family, he has no choice in many things."

Li Mulan naturally understood these principles, "Was the Queen Mother not kind to you before?"

Chu Chenfeng was stunned. He didn't expect her to ask such questions. "It's nothing good or bad. I just want to save face. But my brother is very good to me. He has taken care of me since I was a child, so I haven't suffered much."

Li Mulan nodded. No wonder, he would give away the throne he had obtained. It seemed that he was still obsessed with his brother.

"The Queen Mother wants to interfere in your marriage?"

Chu Chenfeng sighed softly, "Every year there is a commotion, and this king can do nothing about it. With her status, if she does too much, it will be difficult for Xiaojie to be caught in the middle."

The corner of Xing Yi's mouth twitched outside the door. He didn't expect his own prince's acting skills to be so good. When will the queen mother be able to do anything to him? Every time he returns with nothing, he is furious.

"It turns out that the prince is not omnipotent." Li Mulan sighed.

Seeing that she seemed to have relaxed a lot, Chu Chenfeng continued, "Xiao Jie's throne is still unstable now. Simon and Northern Qi are eyeing him covetously, and the internal situation is unstable. Xiao Jie...I must protect him. If there are too many interferences, I will inevitably be exhausted. So, when I said that I wanted to settle down with Lan'er, I was sincere, but it is also true that it is in my own interest."

Li Mulan automatically ignored his sincerity. This was the right thing to do. Who would believe him if he said he didn't want anything? She clapped her hands and said, "It seems that we are really a perfect match. I have to deal with my master and my family, and the prince has to deal with the queen mother and the officials. This marriage is the most suitable."

When Chu Chenfeng heard the words "a perfect match", he was so happy, "Yes, a perfect match."

This time, the two of them finally reached a serious agreement.

When they were almost at Li's house, Chu Chenfeng said, "Regarding our engagement, um, I want to spread the news. Would you mind?"

"Because of the Queen Mother?"

Chu Chenfeng nodded, "I'll go back and talk to my grandfather and the others, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Oh? Then what do you want to say? Do you want to..." Tell the truth?

"Of course I can't tell the truth. I'll just say that I'm deeply in love with the prince and I won't marry anyone else, hahaha. Only then will they agree. Otherwise, they will definitely not agree." Her family still cares a lot about her reputation.

Chu Chenfeng was satisfied with this answer. She was so deeply in love with him that she would not marry anyone else. When he heard these words, even though he knew they were false, his heart still beat faster unconsciously.

"By the way, let's exchange a token of love. It's better to have something valuable so that my family can believe it."

Token? Chu Chenfeng suddenly smiled, "The token has been given to you."

Li Mulan looked at him in confusion, obviously not knowing what he meant.

"I saw the jade pendant on your neck before. Unfortunately, it belongs to me."

Li Mulan unconsciously touched her neck and pulled out the jade pendant tied with a black rope, with a look of disbelief on her face, "You...you are the handsome boy from that year?"

"Fall...Brother?" Chu Chenfeng was confused.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. Are you the boy that Yuan Yuan and I rescued back then?"

This is too coincidental...

Seeing her look of disbelief, Chu Chenfeng smiled and said, "Business, so if you want to gain the trust of your family, this should be more convincing."

"So when did you recognize it?"

"It was when we first met and you called me your beauty."

Li Mulan looked a little uncomfortable. "Ahem, haha, well... you are indeed good-looking. But, how can you recognize me after all these years?"

Chu Chenfeng glanced at the scar at the corner of her eye. It should be easy to recognize her, right?

Li Mulan laughed, "My scar has become a mark of identity verification, but are you sure you want to get engaged to me and get married? Aren't you afraid that others will say that your princess is ugly?"

"You're not ugly."

"Of course I know, but people in this world are very superficial. Today, a noble lady in the capital said that I was ugly and told me to go out less and not scare others."

Chu Chenfeng's eyes were cold, "Who?"

Li Mulan was very satisfied with his attitude and waved her hand, "I don't mind, as long as you are not afraid of people saying that you married an ugly princess."

"of course not."

He looked at Li Mulan's white and tender hands stroking the jade pendant, and felt very relieved. "I waited for you for several days at the inn at the foot of the mountain. I didn't expect you to break your promise."

Li Mulan said embarrassedly, "Something happened back then and I couldn't keep the appointment. I'm sorry."

"Nothing, it's just right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage stopped. Xing Yi immediately recognized the person lingering at the entrance of the Taifu Mansion. It was none other than Li Yi. He jumped off the carriage and bowed to Li Yi, then said to the people in the carriage, "Your Majesty, Miss Li, we are here."

Chu Chenfeng got off the carriage before Li Mulan. He wanted to help Li Mulan, but she jumped off the carriage from the other side. Looking at his empty hands, Chu Chenfeng's expression flashed a hint of disappointment.

"Dad? Why are you at the door?"

Li Yi took two steps forward and looked Li Mulan up and down, and then he felt relieved. Then he pulled her behind him and bowed to Chu Chenfeng defensively, "Please trouble the prince to personally send my daughter back."
