Chapter 802: Chapter 802: The Emperor Arranges a Marriage for Mo Wenxuan

Nan Feng gave him a faint smile.

Afterward, the Emperor granted Nan Feng a seat and, looking at Nan Feng, said, "This is the third-place scholar from our imperial examination, and I’ve heard he’s a fellow townsman of yours. Therefore, I have arranged for you two to meet and reminisce about old times."

When the Emperor spoke to Nan Feng, his tone was quite gentle, not at all like how one would treat a hostage, which left Mo Wenxuan somewhat perplexed.

Nan Feng’s gaze once again settled on the Emperor’s face.

It was the first time she had seen the Emperor since returning from the hunt, and for some reason, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

But she quickly suppressed this discomfort.

He is the Emperor, and although he saved your life, it does not mean that you are of great significance in his eyes. In that situation, he would have saved anyone.

"Then, I thank Your Majesty. Wenxuan is indeed from my hometown. In the past, we were even betrothed."

The Emperor was immediately surprised, "What happened afterward?"

Mo Wenxuan felt incredibly awkward, but he spoke first, "There were many factors at the time, which led to the missed connection between Nan Feng and me. In fact, this has been a thorn in my side, having missed out on such a fine lady."

Nan Feng smiled again, "Wenxuan, you shouldn’t say such things. What’s good about me? You’ve now passed the exams and gained your titles; the Emperor might match you with a minister’s daughter. By the way, didn’t your mother say you were to marry a princess someday? Maybe the Emperor could decide for you?"

Mo Wenxuan became even more embarrassed. He hadn’t expected Nan Feng to hold such a grudge and still remember those things.

But that also suggested this matter must have indeed left a shadow on Nan Feng, hadn’t it?

The Emperor looked at Mo Wenxuan, "It turns out Wenxuan once broke off an engagement with Nan Feng. That was your fault."

Seeing that the Emperor was blaming Mo Wenxuan, Nan Feng quickly changed tack, "Your Majesty, you can’t blame Wenxuan. He had his difficulties, and it’s fortunate that he called off the engagement, allowing me to meet my current husband. As for Wenxuan, he’s a very diligent and ambitious young man, and also very brave. In the Fu County, Qin Kun once sent people disguised as mountain bandits to infiltrate the province’s Academy and kill all those scholar officials; thankfully, Wenxuan’s intelligence and bravery saved everyone."

"Is that so?" The Emperor looked at Mo Wenxuan. He had initially been upset with him over the broken engagement but hearing of Mo Wenxuan’s actions against Qin Kun, he began to view him differently.

Mo Wenxuan then paid his respects to the Emperor again, "Wenxuan simply did what was necessary."

Watching the mutual admiration between the Emperor and Mo Wenxuan, Nan Feng let out a wry smile.

It appeared that her presence today was simply to smooth things over.

"Your Majesty, Wenxuan has been preoccupied with his studies these years and has not yet started a family. It’s often said that a man should establish a family before founding a career. Perhaps Your Majesty could arrange a marriage for Wenxuan, allowing him to start a family," said Nan Feng.

Mo Wenxuan looked at Nan Feng, his heart a tumult of emotions.

He had harbored feelings for Nan Feng for many years. He had once wanted to marry her, to take her away from her brother, or, perhaps, hoped she would change her mind and look upon him favorably once again. But now, Nan Feng was offering to arrange a marriage for him.

Clearly, ever since the betrothal was annulled, Nan Feng had never regarded him as anything significant.

The Emperor, seeing Nan Feng’s refined suggestion, also joined in, "Let me think... Ah, the current Hanlin Academy has a daughter, sixteen years of age, yet to be married. I’ll arrange a meeting for you two later."
