The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback-Chapter 1094 - 1096: Only You for a Lifetime

Not long after the Imperial List was posted, many people had already come to seek out Mo Shu.

Among them, the most excited was Xuanyuan Yichuan.

After requesting an audience, the first thing Xuanyuan Yichuan said upon seeing Mo Shu was: "Eldest Princess, are you looking to marry?"

Mo Shu, sitting in the hall drinking tea, raised an eyebrow at the words, "Yes."

Xuanyuan Yichuan felt both bitter and joyful, looked at Mo Shu for a long while, and then said, "Princess, do you still remember that there was once an engagement between us..."

Mo Shu paused in her tea-drinking gesture, then set the teacup aside and said, "Young Master, let’s not speak of the past."

Xuanyuan Yichuan’s joy was dampened somewhat, and as he looked at Mo Shu, his eyes slowly drooped, and he said, "Princess, I once said that I wished to protect you for my entire life. If you are willing... all of this still holds true." As he spoke, he stood and bowed deeply, "Whether competing in literature or martial arts, I will give it my all, Princess... in my heart, there will always be only the Princess. If the Princess agrees, Yichuan... will never marry anyone else in this life, only you as my wife."

Upon hearing these words, Mo Shu felt a mix of emotions.

In today’s society, unlike modern times with monogamy, it was typical for men to have multiple wives and even many concubines.

For Xuanyuan Yichuan to make such a promise showed his sincere heart.

But...

Mo Shu looked at him and sighed softly, "You are good, but Yichuan, I am no longer who I once was."

Xuanyuan Yichuan’s eyes reddened as he looked at her deeply, then bowed his head and said, "Yichuan takes his leave."

After Xuanyuan Yichuan left, Mo Shu’s gaze was fixed on the doorway, somewhat lost.

Zhao Mei approached to refill Mo Shu’s tea, cautiously saying, "Princess, in my view, Young Master Xuan Yuan is wholeheartedly devoted to you and quite handsome. The promise he made just now was so sincere; unless he was utterly determined, he wouldn’t have said such words."

As she spoke, Zhao Mei glanced at Mo Shu, probing, "Princess, do you not like Young Master Xuan Yuan at all?"

Mo Shu shook her head lightly, "I don’t like him."

Zhao Mei sighed inwardly, feeling slightly regretful, "Well, not liking someone is just not liking them. But what if, among all the suitors this time, you don’t find someone suitable or likable?"

"Why so much talk?" Ji Nan’s voice sounded from behind.

Zhao Mei was startled and quickly turned around, running away in haste.

Ji Nan’s face darkened, "Princess, you’ve spoiled them. Do you see any ordinary maidservant daring to speak like this?"

Mo Shu smiled softly, "Then you should discipline them well."

"What good is my disciplining? You are so gentle that now they fear me but not you!"

Mo Shu didn’t mind, picked up her teacup and said, "What she said is not without reason. If I don’t find someone I like, what then?"

"Then find someone you like," Ji Nan didn’t hesitate, glanced at Mo Shu, and in an apparently casual manner said, "Princess, do you remember Jie Kong?"

Mo Shu frowned.

How could she forget?

Ji Nan asked, "If Jie Kong has feelings for you and comes to the selection this time, will you marry him or not?"

Mo Shu chuckled, "If he can defeat all others, why not marry him? But..."

"But?" Ji Nan’s eyes brightened.

"As a fugitive, if he dares to show himself publicly, that would be strange," Mo Shu sneered, "His current status cannot see the light of day."
