Qi Xiuyuan held the note in his hand with a calm expression, but Rong Xuan knew that he was angry.

Curious, he asked, "What did the letter say?"

When Qi Xiuyuan handed the note to him, Rong Xuan was shocked. "How will this do? What is the Emperor thinking?"

Qi Xiuyuan took a deep breath and said, "Prepare the betrothal gifts. I'll go to the Mu family to propose marriage immediately." A strange smile appeared on Qi Xiuyuan's face. "Isn't Minister Qin putting on a pretense? Then let's get them married while he's still pretending."

"But your parents are in Lin'an Prefecture. If the Emperor insists on marrying Minister Qin's daughter to your younger brother, Miss Mu can only be a concubine. Don't forget, even if they get married, she won't be able to enter the genealogical tree." Rong Xuan was very fond of Mu Yangling and didn't want this to happen to her.
