The man Princess Gaoyang likes needs to be "wild", unrestrained, charming, and humorous. Muchuan's characteristics are exactly what she likes, while serious and serious people like Fang Yiai are not what she likes.
However, Li Shimin recently communicated with ministers and planned to marry Princess Gaoyang to Fang Yiai in order to consolidate the friendship between the royal family and the Fang family, which is a so-called political marriage.
Of course Princess Gaoyang was unwilling, but she knew that it would be useless even if she objected. After all, she had reached the age of marriage, and it was not up to them to decide the marriage of children born into the royal family.
At this time, Muchuan proposed that Princess Gaoyang perform the blessing, which was one of the few ways.
The person praying must be of high status, represent the royal family, be a virgin, and remain chaste for "God" for five years, in order to suppress the demons lurking in the Chang'an Plain.
By saying it in such terms, Princess Gaoyang can naturally be saved from the fate of being forced to marry.
"This is my way, so that princess you don't have to marry Fang Yiai...right?"
"Mu Chuan, you are indeed very smart."
Princess Gao Yang's eyes seemed to be filled with lightning, and she looked straight at him, "But Muchuan, can you tell me why I have to go to such trouble?
If you do this five years later, I will still have to marry again, so I might as well marry you."
"No, no, no, the princess is not like this at all. You don't understand what love is at all!"
Muchuan started to draw big cakes to fool him, which explained what love is.
Love is an emotion recognized by both men and women. Both parties regard the other as "the only one" and are willing to give everything for it.
Muchuan asked seriously: "For example, if I was attacked by a black bear, would the princess sacrifice her life to save me?"
"Definitely not!"
"Isn't this right?
If people truly love each other, they would risk their lives for each other. Princess, you wouldn’t do this to me, so you don’t really love me.”
Princess Gaoyang was very dissatisfied and felt that Muchuan was using strong words to make excuses.
If a black bear really attacked, Princess Gaoyang's fragile body would not be able to resist it. If she really came to save him, she and he would both be buried in the belly of the black bear.
So the most correct thing to do is that she should leave him behind.
Muchuan listened to Princess Gaoyang's thoughts at this time and nodded with great approval: "Yes, you are right to do this, but love itself has no rationality. Do you know the origin of the allusion of 'help each other'?"
The so-called mutual support refers to two fish in a dry river. In order to keep each other alive, they moisten each other with their saliva.
Although it sounds a bit disgusting, it shows in later generations that the couple is willing to sacrifice for each other.
"Princess, there is no such friendship between you and me. Even if we get married, there will be no love."
"Mu Chuan, you just say you don't want to marry me!"
"Yes."
Muchuan did not make excuses. He refused very clearly, saying, "I already have someone I like, and I want to be with the person I like."
Princess Gaoyang became angry after hearing this. No wonder Muchuan was still unwilling to be with her. Then she asked Muchuan which rich lady he liked.
Of course Muchuan would not say it out loud. If she did, Princess Gaoyang would definitely be ruthless with her temperament.
Muchuan then said, "Princess, do you know what true love feels like?"
"This princess doesn't know."
"True love is something that makes people feel happy. You will think about the other person all the time. Once you are with the other person, you will feel very happy and happy."
Muchuan began to draw a blueprint of love for Princess Gaoyang. If you meet true love, you will feel that the whole world is full of colors.
"Princess, that kind of emotion is very beautiful, but you shouldn't feel that kind of joy when you are with me, right?"
"It seems... not."
"That's right. This means that the princess doesn't actually like me! The princess just thinks I'm suitable for 'marriage'."
Muchuan smiled handsomely and asked further, "Princess, don't you want to try the feeling of true love?"
If you meet a man who satisfies you, you will regret it if you marry me."
This is the appeal of free love!
Princess Gaoyang, who lived in the feudal era, had a heart that yearned for "free love", but she didn't know what she was thinking, let alone the meaning of true love.
In her opinion, marriage is just "the words of parents or matchmakers". She is dissatisfied with this and doesn't know how to resist.
Muchuan's words at this time are encouraging her "rebellious heart" and creating a path for the other party to "free love".
So now you can see the charming expression on Princess Gaoyang's face, her eyes are moist, and she is obviously looking forward to a romantic and beautiful encounter.
Very good, it seems that the other party has indeed fallen into Muchuan's trap.
"How's the princess?
As long as you set up an altar in the Chang'an Plain to pray for blessings, you can use it as an excuse to stay chaste for five years in exchange for five years of freedom. During these five years, princess, you can pursue true love! I will definitely cooperate with you, little man!
"
"Mu Chuan...you are indeed very smart. I know clearly that this is all your plan, but I am attracted by the 'true love' you describe."
Princess Gao Yang nodded and smiled, "I understand, just do as you wish."
Time passed by, and it was already dusk and sunset before I knew it.
Muchuan finally came out of the "Changjing Palace" dragging his exhausted body. Today was a very troubled day.
Looking back now, Muchuan also underestimated Princess Gaoyang. The other party knew that she would not accept the invitation, so Princess Gaoyang specially used the name of "Princess Chang Jing" to invite her, but he still fell into the trap.
Now back at the Shangshu's residence outside the palace, Muchuan was sitting in the lobby like a salted fish.
"You are finally back, Master Mu!"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the side hall. Muchuan looked and found that it was Ouyang Bufan!
"Why is it you?"
Muchuan couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"I'm here to see you, Master Mu!"
While talking, Ouyang Bufan walked over with a smile and put his hand on Muchuan's shoulder, "How are you, Mr. Mu, why did Princess Chang Jing invite you?
I have heard that Princess Chang Jing is a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as the moon and the moon. Does Master Mu deserve her honor?"
It turns out that Ouyang Bufan was curious about Princess Chang Jing.
Princess Chang Jing is the most low-key among the princesses. She rarely shows her face in front of courtiers on weekdays. Not much is known about her.
