Chapter 553 The dog-licking princess stops licking④
"Your Majesty, please eat more too." Yun Yuan reached out her hand, picked up a piece of fresh and delicious mandarin duck fish date with chopsticks made of white jade, and gently placed it in the bowl in front of Emperor Cheng Jing.
Emperor Cheng Jing was slightly stunned when he saw this.
You know, ever since Chao Yan fell in love with Mu Nan, the relationship between them as father and daughter has been much worse than before.
There were rarely times when they were at peace with each other, and Chaoyan had never shown any concern for her. When he came over, he was already prepared for Chaoyan to ignore him.
Looking at the piece of mandarin duck fish date in the bowl, Emperor Cheng Jing felt mixed emotions.
He was over thirty years old when he had a precious daughter like Chao Yan. From the moment Chao Yan was born, he treated her as a treasure, holding her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and holding her in his mouth for fear of melting her.
But it was also because of this that Chao Yan developed an innocent yet stubborn character. No matter how hard he tried to persuade her, Chao Yan would not listen.
Mu Nan has some talent in writing, but he is definitely not a good match for Chao Yan. However, Chao Yan seems to be drugged and whenever he mentions that she should stay away from Mu Nan, she would look unhappy.
She even threatened to commit suicide, saying that if he dared to attack Mu Nan, she would commit suicide.
Emperor Cheng Jing was both heartbroken and angry.
The princess whom he had raised with great care and pampering actually did not take care of her body for a man and threatened to commit suicide. He was so furious that he could not control his emotions and said a few harsh words, and their relationship reached a freezing point.
But after calming down these few days, he couldn't help but blame himself, blaming himself for being too impulsive at the time. He wanted to repair the relationship between the two of them, but who would have thought that Chaoyan would actually avoid him and refuse to come to the palace even when she was summoned.
Now that Chao Yan's attitude has changed, the emperor is naturally happy.
But then, he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Chao Yan took the initiative to show her goodwill this time because she wanted him to give Mu Nan a promotion?
He picked up the mandarin duck fish dates from the bowl and put them into his mouth, chewing them carefully with mixed feelings.
On the one hand, every position change in the court has strict regulations and consideration standards. Mu Nan has been mediocre and has made no achievements in his position. It is neither reasonable nor moral for him to be promoted.
But on the other hand, thinking that the father-daughter relationship between them had finally been eased, the emperor felt a little soft-hearted.
Never mind, as long as Chaoyan is willing to speak up, it is not impossible to give Munan a little push...
Emperor Cheng Jing waited for Yun Yuan to express her thoughts, but until the meal was over, Yun Yuan still said nothing.
After the meal, Emperor Cheng Jing hesitated for a long time, but still asked, "I heard that you are still in contact with Mu Nan?"
"I won't do that again in the future." Yun Yuan said.
Emperor Cheng Jing almost thought he had heard it wrong, and asked uncertainly: "Are you saying that you don't want to marry Mu Nan anymore?"
"Yes." Yun Yuan said.
Emperor Cheng Jing did not expect that his daughter would give up suddenly. He knew Chao Yan's character best. Once she made up her mind, she would not look back. She would never give up unless she hit a wall.
"What happened?" Emperor Cheng Jing asked, "Did Mu Nan do something?"
Yun Yuan's eyes turned red, and she said sadly, "The Prince Consort has no real power. Mu Nan has studied hard for more than ten years and doesn't want to give up his ambitions and aspirations. I don't want to embarrass him."
Bullshit! Actually, it was just Mu Nan pretending to be nice.
It's not that Mu Nan was unwilling to marry the original owner. On the contrary, he had long wanted to use the original owner's identity to get rich overnight. However, he saw that the original owner was innocent and loved him very much, so he talked about his ambitions all day long, hoping that the original owner would feel guilty after marriage and help his family unconditionally.
Emperor Chengjing frowned and said, "Tell the truth."
Yun Yuan sat up straight, her eyes were no longer red and she was no longer sad.
"Mu Nan is such a scoundrel. He used the gold note I gave him to support a prostitute in the brothel and even spent a fortune to make her the most beautiful courtesan. He really doesn't take me seriously at all."
Emperor Cheng Jing's aura suddenly changed, and his wise eyes became frighteningly cold.
"How can this be!" The princess he had raised was actually being bullied like this. Emperor Cheng Jing could not stand it and said: "I will find a crime to dismiss him from his position, drive him out of the capital, and never employ him again."
Yun Yuan disagreed and said, "That's too easy for him. I want to ruin his reputation and make him return all the things he took from me. I have recorded everything in the book."
"How do you want to bring him down?"
Yun Yuan said: "Don't worry about it, I have my own way."
Emperor Cheng Jing warned her: "Don't go back on your words. If I find out that you are seeing Mu Nan again, I will put you in solitary confinement and release Mu Nan."
This is what Emperor Cheng Jing did in the plot, but the original owner was in a rebellious period and had a stubborn temper. He would rather starve for three days and three nights until he fell into a coma than not be with Mu Nan.
Seeing that she was hopeless, Emperor Cheng Jing finally had to reluctantly grant the original owner a marriage with Mu Nan.
Now if it was Yun Yuan, she would naturally not do that. She said, "Father, don't worry. I know my limits."
Doesn't the emperor know whether Chaoyan has a sense of propriety? He snorted and said nothing.
Yun Yuan pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly: "Father, I heard that you are selecting a royal family member to adopt as your successor?"
It had been a long time since his daughter had been so close to him. Emperor Cheng Jing felt a little uncomfortable. He sat upright and nodded slightly: "Indeed, they will all be your brothers from now on."
Yun Yuan pouted: "They are not my father's biological children, will they be good to me?"
Emperor Cheng Jing said as a matter of course: "If I want to adopt someone, I will naturally choose someone with good moral character, who knows how to be grateful and can treat you as my own sister. I will not consider anyone who can't do that."
"You can only know a person's face but not his heart." Yun Yuan said, "They are old and not our father's bloodline. I am afraid they have their own little thoughts."
"Don't worry, they don't dare. I, your father, am still alive."
Yun Yuan curled her lips and said, “You trusted your ability to judge people too much, so in the end you were almost forced to abdicate and died.”
Emperor Cheng Jing said, "Since you have no interest in Mu Nan now, I will show you another man. You should have no objection, right?"
"Let Father decide."
Emperor Chengjing saw that Yun Yuan looked calm and showed no reluctance, and he was in a good mood: "I will definitely find the most outstanding man in Dayun to be your consort."
When Emperor Cheng Jing left, Yun Yuan secretly asked the system to equip him with the mind-reading system.
After seeing off Emperor Cheng Jing, Yun Yuan turned on the system and lay on the bed to monitor Mu Nan's movements.

As night falls, the lights are on.
After dinner, Mu Nan did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he tidied himself up, walked out of the house, and headed towards the most famous brothel in the capital - Qunfang Tower.
Putting on the mask at the door, Mu Nan just stepped into the gate of Qunfang Building when a woman in a plain gauze dress threw herself into his arms in surprise.
