When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down

At this time, Yan Li still didn't know that emotional matters were never controlled by people. No matter how strong a man or woman was, once they were sincerely moved, they would never be able to remain rational. m.

It is true that Mu Cang is not flirtatious with women, and it is also true that the city is extremely deep. After many years of leading soldiers, he has developed a temperament that is indifferent to emotions and anger. His strong coercion makes people fear him, and his temper is even colder.

No one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do.

Not even the emperor.

The things that Mu Cang can do willingly must be what he wants to do from the bottom of his heart, such as marrying Yan Li.

Marrying means a lifelong commitment that will last until death.

But this is all for later.

The lunch at Jiuwang Mansion was very sumptuous. I wonder if it was specially prepared to entertain Yan Li. There were only two of them during the meal, but there were many maids passing the meal around.

Among them was a young guard, who walked in from the outside with a meal in each hand. He looked at his nose and heart, his posture was straight, his eyebrows were beautiful, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Yan Li.

Yan Li noticed his scrutiny and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter?"

"Ah?" The young man was stunned and quickly lowered his gaze, "No, it's okay..."

He put the meal on the table, turned around and left quickly, almost as if he was running away.

Yan Li stared at his back in silence, thoughtfully.

"His name is Mo Yun." Mu Cang sat down at the dining table, "He is extremely talented in martial arts, but his temper is a bit offbeat. He should be a little curious about you, so don't worry about it."

Yan Qing hummed.

The dining table was filled with a dazzling array of dishes. This kind of pomp and circumstance was not unfamiliar to Yan Li. What was unfamiliar was just the feeling of dining with Mu Cang - it was the first time after all, so it was inevitably a bit subtle.

"You can come here often in the future." Mu Cangbo said calmly, as if he mentioned it casually, "I have not been to the military camp these days, and there is no war at the border for the time being. I am at the mansion most of the time."

Yan Li was slightly surprised: "You don't need to go to court?"

"I don't want to go." Mu Cang's voice was a little calmer. "The court is full of flattering officials. I have nothing to say to them."

The important ministers would discuss matters in the court with the emperor, and if there was a war on the border, Mu Cang would go to the palace to discuss it alone with the emperor.

With Mucang here, no one in the court dared to tamper with food and grass, no one dared to use military pay to manipulate him, and he had no interest in making excuses with anyone.

Yan Li hummed and didn't ask any more questions.

Mu Cang's gaze fell on her face, and a dark color flashed across his eyes: "How are you these days at the Jiang family?"

"Well, not bad."

"The Jiang family didn't cause you any more trouble?"

Yan Li sighed: "They really want to cause trouble for me, but they still have some brains left."

"Yeah." Mu Cang nodded, "That's good."

Yan Li suddenly thought of something and looked at Mu Cang with interest: "There must be many women in Shengjing who admire the Ninth Prince. In the past few years, there has not been one who can make the Prince fall in love?"

Mu Cang pursed his thin lips and remained silent for a moment: "My heart belongs to you."

Yan Li was surprised, "Where does the heart belong to?"

"Um."

"Then I've taken someone else's place?" Yan Li frowned, "How about canceling the engagement?"

Mu Cang's expression changed slightly: "No need to cancel."

Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "What if the Ninth Prince wants to marry another woman in the future..."

"No." Mu Cang said, his eyes flickering, and his eyes fell on her eyebrows, "Don't you want to know who the woman my heart belongs to is?"

Yan Li was silent for a moment: "I'm actually not that curious, and I don't want to pry into other people's private affairs."

Mu Cang was about to speak but stopped: "..."

"But I will remember to stay away from the prince." Yanli promised, "Even if we get married, we will try not to get close to the prince and not to occupy the prince's heart. We maintain a relationship that is like water between wells and rivers."

Mu Cang was silent, his expression a little hard to describe.

Yan Li didn't notice the change in his expression and just lowered his head to eat. In fact, he felt a little regretful.

If she had known that Mu Cang already had a woman in his heart, she would not have let the emperor grant her this marriage. After all, it would not be good to delay someone's life-long event.

However, Yan Li's memory seems to have heard that Mu Cang liked a girl from another family, and since Mu Cang liked that girl, why didn't he marry that girl?

"Yan Li." Mu Cang's voice was calm, unable to hear the fluctuations in mood and anger, "Is there a man you have ever liked?"

Yan Li came to his senses and shook his head slowly.

Mu Cang looked slightly relaxed: "No?"

Yan Li considered what to say.

Her life did not seem to exist for the sake of the love between her children. From the time she could remember, the emperor told her that her duty was to serve the common people and the emperor's hegemony.

She has practiced the Three Obediences and the Four Virtues, but has never learned how to embroider. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

But her music can kill people, the chessboard is her battlefield, the Four Books and Five Classics are her basic skills, and the emperor's strategy is her required course.

There are eight people accompanying her, all of whom are gifted and talented, and they are all chosen from among the sons and daughters of aristocratic families.

They have been with her since childhood, and everything they learned was taught by famous teachers. They are loyal and loyal, and they are the best loyal ministers and generals on her imperial road.

She ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, becoming the only princess in the history of the Southern Kingdom who ascended the throne as a princess. However, there was no opposition in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and her subjects respected and surrendered.

Because she was born with southern auspiciousness.

But among the eight people she trusted the most, a traitor appeared.

“No.” Yan Li’s eyebrows were cold, and he lowered his eyes. His voice was as cold as snow. “I won’t like anyone.”

Mu Cang’s expression paused slightly, and deep emotions surged in his deep eyes, layer upon layer, and it was difficult to tell the ups and downs.
