Chapter 308 Jian Yifeng Proposes Marriage, Crown Prince Position [10,000 Words]
Mu Chengqian looked at Mu Rufeng with eyes full of approval.
Such talent, such cultivation, and a good character—he is even better than the deceased Crown Prince.
"By the way, I remember that Rufeng is still unattached, right?" the Empress Dowager suddenly said.
"Yes, the family to whom Xiaofeng was betrothed had some issues, so the engagement was annulled." Mu Chengqian nodded.
"Good, good. We must find Rufeng a good match." The Empress Dowager kept looking at Mu Rufeng, becoming more pleased with him the more she looked.
At this moment, Zhao Yanran's heart suddenly moved, and she glanced at her father, Zhao Chengfeng.
Zhao Chengfeng was a strong expert in the God Realm and also the Grand Pavilion Master of the Da Li Dynasty's Lingyan Pavilion.
At that moment, Zhao Chengfeng also looked towards Zhao Yanran, naturally understanding immediately.
They had already discussed it, wanting their daughter to marry the Ninth Prince, and now was the perfect time.
Zhao Chengfeng immediately stood up.
Mu Rufeng saw this as well and, without much hesitation, spoke up, "Royal Grandmother, Father Emperor, I actually already have a woman I admire."
Zhao Chengfeng paused slightly upon hearing this, then sat back down.
"Oh? Rufeng already has someone he admires? Whose child is it? Tell your Royal Grandmother quickly." The Empress Dowager smiled upon hearing this and quickly asked.
Mu Chengqian also turned his gaze towards Mu Rufeng, interested in knowing who Mu Rufeng admired.
After all, Mu Rufeng was destined to become the Crown Prince and eventually the Emperor, and the position of the main wife was extremely important.
"The woman I admire is Miss Yanran from the Lingyan Pavilion." Mu Rufeng said, looking at Zhao Yanran.
Zhao Yanran was very moved at this moment, her bright eyes meeting Mu Rufeng's gaze, her face turning a bit red with shyness.
Zhao Yanran had originally wanted her father to bring it up, but she didn't expect Mu Rufeng to speak first.
This left a peculiar feeling in Zhao Yanran's heart.
"Zhao Yanran? Lingyan Pavilion?" The Empress Dowager was somewhat puzzled, not knowing who Zhao Yanran was.
However, she followed Mu Rufeng's gaze and saw Zhao Yanran.
"Is that girl Yanran? What a beautiful young girl." The Empress Dowager's gaze fell on Zhao Yanran.
Even though she wore a veil, one could see Zhao Yanran's outstanding appearance, and she carried a unique aura.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanran immediately stood up, bowed, and removed her veil: "This young lady, Zhao Yanran, greets the Empress Dowager."
"Pavilion Master Zhao, you've kept this well hidden. I wouldn't have guessed that my Ninth Prince and your daughter are mutually affectionate." Mu Chengqian was slightly surprised.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know either until yesterday when Yanran, this little girl, told me." Zhao Chengfeng said with a smile.
"Since the feelings are mutual between the two of you, then let the marriage be arranged. Choose an auspicious date, and the wedding can proceed." Mu Chengqian spoke.
"Thank you, Father Emperor."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Mu Rufeng and Zhao Yanran expressed their gratitude simultaneously.
"Hurrah~~!"
An uproar arose below.
These people never expected the Ninth Prince to suddenly fall mutually in love with Zhao Yanran.
Especially those few Heavenly Pride who admired Zhao Yanran, they could almost grind their teeth to pieces.
Their heart's desire, the goddess, now belonged to another man, causing heartache that felt suffocating.
However, upon realizing that it was Mu Rufeng, the contemporary leading Heavenly Pride, marrying Zhao Yanran, they felt slightly more at ease.
"Clap clap clap~~!" The Seventh Princess cheerfully applauded.
At the same time, her gaze occasionally swept over Jian Yifeng.
"Your Majesty, I have long admired the Seventh Princess, and I wish to marry her. I hope Your Majesty will give your consent."
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
The crowd turned to look.
It was Tuoba Zhan of the God Refining Sect who stood up, cupping his fists towards Mu Chengqian.
Proposing, Tuoba Zhan was proposing to the Seventh Princess, Mu Wuxia.
At this moment, everyone looked at Tuoba Zhan in shock.
Beside him, Jian Yifeng, whose gaze had been calm, suddenly turned ice-cold, looking at Tuoba Zhan with a murderous intent.
Mu Rufeng keenly noticed this and then gave Tuoba Zhan a "you're brave" look.
The Seventh Princess, seated, was also startled by Tuoba Zhan's proposal.
What a joke, she didn't want to marry Tuoba Zhan—Tuoba Zhan was too ugly.
On the dragon throne, Mu Chengqian was momentarily stunned upon hearing this and then began to assess Tuoba Zhan.
Aside from Tuoba Zhan's appearance, his talent was noteworthy, having reached the Middle Stage of Refining Acupoints at his age.
Moreover, Tuoba Zhan's recent battle left Mu Chengqian quite satisfied—he's a real man who has seen blood.
Also, Tuoba Zhan's status wasn't bad; being the son of the Sect Master of the God Refining Sect, he was set to inherit the position.
Looking at it this way, he was indeed a rather good candidate for marriage.
After all, his own youngest daughter indeed was of the age to be married.
The Empress also assessed Tuoba Zhan.
Her first impression was ugly, too ugly, certainly not a match for her little Seventh.
However, she said nothing, for the final decision rested with Mu Chengqian, the Emperor.
"No, I don't want it." Before Mu Chengqian could speak, Mu Wuxia shouted.
What a joke, how could she marry someone so ugly?
Mu Wuxia's shout immediately drew everyone's gaze towards her.
"Hmm? Little Seventh, what's the matter? Don't you like Tuoba Zhan?" Mu Chengqian asked.
