Chapter 707 Why Not Consider Me?
Song Yanzhou was also an extremely difficult person to deal with on the battlefield, and Wu Jingshuo had clashed with him more than once.
Later, Song Yanzhou was seriously injured. Although he was rescued, he was left with a disability in both legs and was never seen again.
He had specifically inquired about it beforehand, and the imperial physician said that given Song Yanzhou's condition, even if he didn't die, he would become a cripple. But the Song Yanzhou before him didn't look like a cripple at all; he was clearly perfectly fine!
"How could this be?"
Wu Jingshuo looked incredulous. Could it be that their dynasty had a divine physician who could cure such a serious illness?
Wu Yue'er, however, had an idea and immediately instructed the maid beside her to do something.
"Princess Muyao, I heard you've been feeling unwell these past few days, catching a cold. Are you feeling better today?"
Wu Jingshuo found Chu Muyao in the crowd and walked over with a smile.
Chu Muyao's heart sank. She had been trying her best to avoid this guy, but she didn't expect to run into him at the Song family's wedding banquet. Could he have come to find her on purpose?
"I'm feeling better now, thank you for your concern." Chu Muyao replied, "Third Brother Song, please help Prince Qi Yue to take a seat."
Suddenly called out, Song Zhiyu glanced at Song Jingshen with a strange expression. Wasn't this guy right next to the princess?
Why didn't the princess just let her fourth brother take the person away?
Although he had some doubts, he still called Wu Jingshuo away directly.
"Prince Qi Yue, please sit at this table."
Song Zhiyu found a table in a corner. Since he started working in the palace, his ability to read people's expressions had improved considerably.
He could tell that Princess Muyao didn't want to see this guy at all, so he simply arranged for him to be far away to avoid trouble!
Wu Jingshuo: "..."
"You and your sister are quite charming." Song Jingshen raised an eyebrow.
Chu Muyao frowned. "After I went back last time, I told my mother about this matter, and she also said that this matter is indeed a bit troublesome."
If you don't want this to happen, you'd better find me a husband first.
"Has Her Majesty the Empress chosen a husband for you yet?" Song Jingshen was slightly taken aback, thinking that if Her Majesty the Empress were choosing for Chu Muyao, he would definitely not be among the choices.
Chu Muyao was testing Song Jingshen, and upon hearing his words, she tentatively asked, "Why are you so concerned about my affairs?"
"Given our relationship, isn't it only natural for me to care about you?" Song Jingshen retorted.
Chu Muyao was stunned now. Everything Song Jingshen said sounded perfectly natural, and she was always the one who couldn't handle it!
"What is our relationship?" Chu Muyao couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think our relationship is?" Song Jingshen asked, raising a slanted eyebrow.
When Chu Muyao met Song Jingshen's alluring peach blossom eyes, she felt that his gaze, compared to his usual indifference, carried a hint of something illicit.
She wanted to know what Song Jingshen was thinking, but his gaze was so intense that she couldn't resist it, so she could only strategically drink water.
"You're my sister-in-law's brother, and you always say I'm young, so naturally we're in a brother-sister relationship," Chu Muyao said, feigning indifference.
Actually, Song Jingshen is only three years older than her, which is nothing. But she got into the habit of calling him "brother" when they first met, and now she's embarrassed to change it.
After all, it would be too obvious if they just opened their mouths.
Upon hearing this answer, Song Jingshen's expression became slightly complicated. There was nothing wrong with calling her "brother" before, but his thoughts were different now. He couldn't keep expecting this girl to treat him as her brother.
“I already have Zhen’er as my sister, you’re not my biological sister.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Muyao was somewhat confused as to whether this meant disdain or something else, and she just felt that men's thoughts were truly unfathomable.
Ever since that day when she figured things out, she realized that she definitely liked Song Jingshen, and this liking was different from when she was still vague about her feelings.
Lately, she's been frequenting teahouses whenever she has free time, partly because she wants to listen to storytelling, but more importantly because she's always lucky enough to bump into Song Jingshen.
Therefore, whenever she bumped into him, she would be in a good mood. If she didn't, even if she listened to the storyteller and ate delicious food, she would still feel a sense of loss.
Seeing that Chu Muyao looked somewhat lost, Song Jingshen said, "If you can't find a suitable one, how about considering me?"
"Cough...cough cough."
Chu Muyao choked on her water as soon as she took a sip. Her face turned bright red, and she couldn't stop coughing.
While coughing, she also wanted to ask Song Jingshen for an explanation, but she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of the person she liked.
"Sorry, I scared you."
Song Jingshen gently patted Chu Muyao's back, feeling that his words were indeed surprising and had startled the girl.
"No, no." Chu Muyao waved her hand, but her heart was beating faster than usual. Had she heard correctly?
Was Song Jingshen joking or serious?
"What did you just say?" After Chu Muyao finally stopped coughing, she looked at Song Jingshen with her eyes, wanting to find out the truth.
Sensing Chu Muyao's attitude, Song Jingshen realized he had a chance, a smile flashing in his eyes as he said:
“I said if you’re looking for a suitable husband, you might want to consider me.”
Compared to the previous tentative statement, this one sounds much more serious.
"Are you... are you serious?"
Chu Muyao felt her heart pounding like a drum; she never expected Song Jingshen to say such a thing to her.
Song Jingshen's voice was gentle, "How could I joke about something like this?"
Chu Muyao blushed instantly, an uncontrollable joy and excitement spreading through her heart. Even though she hadn't eaten any candy, she felt sweeter inside than if she had.
She wanted to ask more directly, but she was too embarrassed to do so; her words had undoubtedly revealed her true feelings...
When Wu Yue'er saw that her elder brother was looking in the direction of Chu Muyao, a hint of displeasure flashed through her heart.
"Brother, I don't think Chu Muyao is any good. Besides, haven't you already seen her attitude? Why waste your time on her?"
Wu Jingshuo didn't care about Wu Yue'er's words at all. "I also advised you to give up your thoughts about the King of Chu, but you didn't listen."
I find Chu Muyao very interesting. If I could marry her, she would be far more interesting than any of the girls in our dynasty.
Wu Yue'er was somewhat dissatisfied, but thinking of how Chu Muyao and she were at odds, if she were really sent to the Qi Yue Dynasty for a political marriage, Chu Muyao would be in for a lot of trouble from now on!
My elder brother is not a faithful man. He only shows interest in these girls for a short time. Once the novelty wears off, he naturally loses interest.
At that time, Chu Muyao's situation will definitely be very miserable. She should be allowed to have a good showdown with those women in the Emperor's Mansion!
“Brother, in my opinion, why go through all this trouble? Why not just ask the Emperor and Empress to grant you a marriage?”
Since it's a marriage alliance, both sides should participate in the marriage to better maintain the relationship.
