Chapter 496 Princess Marriage (2)

Cai Wei went back to bed early because she was worried about going into the mountains at night. She only waited until midnight when everyone went to bed, and then she quietly slipped out to collect spiritual energy in the mountains.

However, before she fell asleep, she heard a gentle knock on the door, and then her father's voice came: "Wei Er, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, please wait!"

Cai Wei got up quickly, put on her clothes and slippers and went to open the door for her father.

As soon as her father came back, she noticed that his expression was not right, but because she was worried about going into the mountains at night, she did not pursue it. Now that her father came to her, something important must have happened!

The door opened, and Mu Zhongqing walked in, his face was very heavy. He sat on the chair silently, looking at his daughter with pity, not knowing how to talk to her.

Ever since Wei'er attended the Queen's Shangsi Festival banquet and performed a "Flying Apsaras" dance at the banquet, she became a sensation. Many noble children in the capital admired her. In order to see her, they ran to Bafu Restaurant to eat. Although they did not see Caiwei, they were attracted by the barbecue skewers in Bafu Restaurant. Therefore, since the Shangsi Festival, the business of Bafu Restaurant has been improved!

When those noble children came, they mostly came in groups. Young noblemen, born in a prosperous family, would inevitably be young and energetic, and talk about sensitive topics in the court.

For example, today, they brought a message that frightened Mu Zhongqing.

"Wei'er, Dad has something to tell you..."

Mu Zhongqing's eyebrows were tightened, his tone was solemn, and his expression was also serious, which made Caiwei nervous.

"Dad, what's the matter? Look how nervous you are!"

Mu Zhongqing sighed and said with difficulty: "Child, Dad heard today that you were named Princess Anle because the eldest prince of Liaodan Kingdom petitioned the emperor and the empress for the purpose of marrying Princess Chaoyang of our dynasty..."

"What?"

Caiwei exclaimed, and her heart sank suddenly.

She had always thought that Queen Mo made her a princess in order to leave her as a concubine for her son in the future. Although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she did not resist, because she knew that he would not wrong her and would not bear to let her be a concubine, so she accepted it.

Unexpectedly, she had this idea! Transfer her son away and let her marry for her daughter. What a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain and replace the plum with a peach!

Caiwei pursed her lips, and a burst of anger burst out from her eyes.

"Whether this news is true or not has not been confirmed, but Dad believes that there is no smoke without fire. Since such news can be spread, it can be seen that this rumor has some origin."

Mu Zhongqing felt very upset and wanted to take his daughter away from here immediately. He had seen the eldest prince of Liaodan Kingdom. He was a ferocious person like a beast. He had also heard of his cruel reputation. How could he marry his daughter to such a person without worry?

"Weier, how about we run away as a family!" Mu Zhongqing suggested.

Caiwei sneered: "Dad, you think too simply. All the land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. We are a big family, and mom is pregnant, where can we go?"

"But..."

Mu Zhongqing said anxiously: "Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"

Caiwei patted his hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, I have my own way not to marry that barbarian, and you just need to cooperate with me when the time comes!"

Mu Zhongqing knew his daughter's ability, but he didn't think she had the ability to compete with the court. However, when he saw his daughter's determined eyes and heard her unquestionable tone, he had no choice but to believe it!
