So no one told him that Gu Chaoyan was already engaged? No one told him that Lord Huai was her fiance?
Normally, if Prince Muyi fell for an engaged girl, the King should have turned him down directly, but it was Gu Chaoyan he was talking about and she was not married, so…
Also the Imperial Master said that men from the Feather Mulberry Land always fought for the girl they liked.
Then he was looking forward to seeing whether he was fighting hard enough.
The King laughed. “Gu Chaoyan? She is the Elder Miss of the Gu Mansion.”
“You are always straightforward, then you should go to Lady Chaoyan directly rather than come to me. We never have marriage alliances between our countries, but if you can make Lady Chaoyan fall for you and she is willing to marry you… then that would work too right?” The King smiled as he looked at Prince Muyi.
The King’s smile was quite derisive.
Prince Muyi, however, did not give that much thought. He believed that the King was right – he should ask the girl if she liked him.
The Imperial Master, however, did not think that it was proper – they were in the Saint Divine Land, not in the Feather Mulberry Land, they could not ask for marriage from the girl directly.
Prince Muyi answered with a smile. “Thank you, then I will go to Lady Chaoyan instead.”
The King nodded an waved his hands, telling him to leave.
The Imperial Master threw a look at the King.
He had a sense that there was something wrong with this King, but he could not figure out what, so he stopped himself from giving it any more thought.
After they left the court, Prince Muyi went directly to the Gu Mansion without waiting for too long.
Since the King mentioned that she was an Elder Miss from the Gu Mansion, then that meant that the Gu Mansion was a huge family in the Saint Divine Land, and he could find where the mansion was by just asking anyone on the street.
The Imperial Master sent someone to find the location. And the response arrived very soon.
The pedestrian pointed in one direction, so the wagon started to head to the Gu Mansion.
When they came to the Gu Mansion, Prince Muyi adjusted his own appearance in the wagon, fearing that Lady Chaoyan would not like the way he was dressed. They had a misunderstanding before, so he needed to present himself in a more proper way to make up for what he had done earlier.
The Imperial Master nodded at the way he was dressed.
Prince Muyi got off the wagon.
In order to express his sincerity, Prince Muyi said to the guards of the Gu Mansion personally, “I am the Eldest Prince of the Feather Mulberry Land, I would like to meet your Elder Miss.”
The guards had a very complicated look on their faces.
The Elder Miss had already been driven out of the Gu Mansion and that was known to everyone in the Saint Divine Land, why was this Prince unaware of that…
However, he was the Prince from the Fan Nation, and the guards did not dare turn him down directly.
The guards said timidly, “Hang on, I will pass on the message.”
Prince Muyi nodded.
In the Feather Mulberry Land, it was never that complicated if they wanted to meet someone, but there were always rules in the Saint Divine Land, and he was aware of those rules after a few visits. Therefore, he stood outside the gate and waited.
Hearing who the visitor was, Gu Zhenkang was very excited. He almost hopped out of the chair.
He hurried out and said, “Chen Fu, go and get the Third Lady. She should hurry to this place now!”
Chen Fu nodded and hurried off.
Gu Zhenkang came to greet Prince Muyi personally.
Seeing the way he was dressed, Gu Zhenkang was now sure about the identity of this man. “Greetings, Elder Prince.”
“Hello, where is the Elder Miss? I would like to see her.” Prince Muyi said straightforwardly.
The Elder Miss?
“You mean Gu Chaoyan?” Gu Zhenkang was confused.
“Yes!” Prince Muyi got excited instantly.
Gu Zhenkang pursed his lips. “What are you seeing her for… do you know who she is?”
