At that moment, she nodded with a rare gentleness, bowed to You Yuecheng with a perfect gesture of a good wife, and supported the maid's hand to get into the carriage. She looked like a lady, looking at what was going on upstairs. Mo Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
I really didn't expect that Ling Mingyan, who was always arrogant and rude, had such a sweet side.
Mo Xuetong also covered her heels with a handkerchief and smiled slightly. Ling Mingyan shyly got into the carriage. She was in a happy mood at this time. Of course, she didn't notice the trace of disgust in You Yuecheng's eyes, but Mo Xuetong could clearly see that You Yue Cheng turned around and walked away with such absolute determination and no regrets. The situation of the two people was still the same as when he entered the capital, one was still chasing and the other was escaping.
It's just that at that time, Ling Mingyan knew that You Yuecheng didn't like her, so she still pressed on to her. But now it seems that You Yuecheng's method of dealing with Ling Mingyan is different, coaxing the savage and arrogant Ling Mingyan into submission. That's right, this man's methods are really colorful.
Poor Ling Mingyan was still in the dark, thinking that her husband-in-law just had a cold temperament.
Of course, Mo Xuetong did not pity Ling Mingyan. Ling Mingyan's reputation in Beijing was not limited to just one day or two. Not only was she arrogant and domineering, but she also hit people on the street and killed her. In the past, her carriage from Dingguo Palace caused a lot of trouble. For someone with a lower status than her The young lady was either sarcastic or sarcastic. She felt bad and even hit people with a whip.

It is said that when attending a palace banquet, she beat a young lady from a minor official's family to half death because she accidentally bumped into her. In front of a garden full of young men and young ladies from aristocratic families, she became completely clueless. He was beaten, but was finally pulled away, and he refused to let go. It is said that after returning home, the daughter of a minor official felt that she was too shameless to see others, and committed suicide by drowning herself in the river.
Mo Xuetong could only say that You Yuecheng was much taller than Ling Mingyan.
"Princess, the Duke of Ming Dynasty doesn't like Miss Ling, why do you want to marry her?" Mo Yu put down the curtain in his hand, blinked and asked suddenly.
Mo Yu's idea was rather naive. Since the prince of Ming Dynasty didn't like the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo, and he seemed so strong, he just didn't want to marry him. Is it possible that Duke Dingguo could still force Ling Mingyan to be left in Ming Dynasty? The Duke's Mansion failed.
Mo Xuetong smiled lightly and said: "No matter what, Duke Dingguo's family is a powerful descendant. Even if You Yuecheng doesn't like it, he can't go against Ling Mingyan's wishes, otherwise he wouldn't wait until now to get married. .”
It would of course be best if the two princes could join forces through marriage. Besides, You Yuecheng is currently supporting Yan Wang Feng Juelei. Behind Feng Juelei is the queen, whose natal family is the Dingguo Duke. The Duke's Mansion came to the side of King Yan and served him wholeheartedly. It didn't matter if You Yuecheng married Ling Mingyan.
Similarly, if he really wants to reject Ling Mingyan, he can just get married directly. How can Duke Dingguo still force him not to get married? So it can only be said that You Yuecheng was playing hard to get before. Remembering that Mo Xuemin had even thought about being the heir apparent of the Ming Dynasty in the past, Mo Xuetong felt speechless.
"The princess is saying that the prince of Ming Dynasty deliberately fished for Miss Ling?" Mo Yu's eyes suddenly widened.
"Why not! Marrying the Duke of Dingguo will only bring benefits to You Yuecheng, not any harm. Besides, Ling Mingyan has such a reputation and married into the Duke of Ming in that way. From now on, You Yuecheng wants to do it. Whatever you do, Duke Dingguo’s Palace cannot object, no matter from which aspect, Duke Dingguo’s Palace owes You Yuecheng because of Ling Mingyan’s matter.”
Mo Xuetong smiled slightly and said pointedly.
Mo Yu didn't understand Mo Xuetong's words for a moment.
"The princess means that the prince's son will fight back against the prince's government on this matter in the future?" Mo Lan thought for a while and interjected.
"Perhaps You Yuecheng has a deeper plan." Mo Xuetong said calmly.
The descendants of Duke Dingguo's family are really unpleasant sometimes. The so-called queen family comes from Duke Dingguo's family. This saying has been around for a long time. This has caused a power gap among the four Dukes who were originally evenly matched. Deviation, now it seems that the Duke of Dingguo is the most powerful, with two queens, and the queen mother is supporting him, so he will never fall no matter what.
But things are unpredictable, especially at this juncture, and the hesitant attitude of Duke Dingguo has made many people dissatisfied.
They were talking here when the curtain was lifted and Mo Ye walked in with a depressed look on his face.
"Princess, the carriage first went to the East City for a while and entered an ordinary clothing store. The slave girl and Mo Feng waited outside. When they saw someone entering, they didn't come out. They felt something was wrong, so they hurriedly followed in, only to find that This clothing store is a cross-dressing store, and when I went in to take a look, it was already empty."
"Have you already left through another door?" Mo Xuetong asked with a frown.
"Yes, I didn't expect that there is another back door in this place, and the back door is also a street. I didn't dare to chase too hastily, so I just took a look at the back door and came back."
Mo Ye had missed the move this time. Thinking about his careless mistake, he felt very upset. If he had known that he and Mo Feng had a front door and a back door just now, the woman would not be able to escape.
"It's okay. Since it happened once, it will happen twice." Mo Xuetong didn't pursue it. She picked up the tea at hand and took a sip. There was a cunning smile in her watery eyes, and her eyes were sparkling and flower-like. The pond weir was rippling, and she actually had a guess, but this guess needed to be confirmed.
The backyard of Prince Xuan's Mansion.
In a dark room, there was a little maid sitting at the door. She looked warily at the concubines coming and going in the yard. They were either gorgeously dressed or walking enchantingly. There were two other concubines who were plucking the garden first. The flowers inside started arguing, while others leaned aside to watch the show and chat.
A woman hurried in, looked at the maid at the door, got the hint, nodded and opened the curtain and entered the house.
"Mommy, you're here." A woman's hoarse voice came from inside the room.
There was really little light in the room. The mother-in-law closed her eyes and waited until she got used to it. Then she saw a woman sitting in the corner of the room. Her face was a little pale, but fortunately she looked healthy. She was wearing a loose dress. , but because of her slender frame, she didn’t feel anything.
"Xiangji, tomorrow is that person's birthday, just tomorrow." The mother-in-law came over, sat on the small stool on one side, and said softly in a low voice.
"Tomorrow?" Xiang Ji was stunned for a moment, and reached out to touch her belly. Although she had known that the child in her belly was just to design others, over the past few months, she has been hiding in this room every day, accompanying her. Even though Xiang Ji was filled with lust for the child in her belly, she was a little more reluctant to let go of it at this time.
"Mommy, can you please stop doing this? I..."
"What? You can't bear to part with me? Is it possible that Xiangji really wants to give birth to this bastard? Is it possible that you still want to give birth to the eldest son of a common concubine in vain, so that he can be named in the future? The royal family has its own way of verifying whether it is a biological child. Method, Xiang Ji, you are too whimsical." The old woman's face darkened and she said coldly.
This was extremely rude, but it blocked Xiang Ji's words. She opened her mouth but was speechless.
She really wanted to give birth to this child. This concubine in the house still has no heir. If she gives birth to this child, the prince will definitely look high on her and give herself a formal title, and then use it to reconcile with her. Mo Xuetong fights, believing that with his son in hand and backup, he will be able to remove Mo Xuetong from power.
But the mother-in-law's words immediately gave her no hope.
Give birth to a child and the royal family will verify the bloodline.
"Can you please help me?" Xiang Ji looked at her mother-in-law pleadingly.
"Help? How to help? My mother is not in good health herself. If you really can't bear to let go of this child, forget it." The old woman said coldly, her eyes fell on Xiang Ji's belly, and she smiled sinisterly, "As long as you are pregnant with the prince. If you spread the word about Zi Si, you don’t need to wait until you design others, and you won’t be able to keep what’s in your belly.”
After saying that, without waiting for Xiang Ji to say anything, she stood up as if to leave.
"Mommy, I obey all your orders." Seeing that the mother-in-law was about to leave, Xiang Ji stood up suddenly and said sadly.
She knew this was a fact. No one in the house suspected that she was pregnant with a child. If anyone knew, the women outside would definitely expel the child in her belly within a few days. She was once one of them. Member, it’s not like I haven’t had such thoughts before.
"Have you thought it through?" Seeing her compromise, the mother-in-law nodded and turned her head with a smile on her face.
"I've thought it through, everything is up to your Majesty." Xiang Ji gritted her teeth, with a bit of cruelty on her pale face. The hand on her belly trembled twice, but she still said firmly.
Since this child is bound to not be saved, it is appropriate to use him for his own benefit. At most, he will be worthy of him if he spends more paper money for this child who has not had time to be born.
"Just think about it clearly. If the child is gone, you can pull that woman down. If you are hit and lose the child, the prince will compensate you and will definitely make the decision for you. It is too small to raise an ordinary concubine. If you catch If you get the chance, you might be able to raise a concubine. From now on, the prince will have no main concubine, and it’s up to you what to do." The mother-in-law’s face was full of smiles again, and she specially bowed respectfully to Xiang Ji.
This made Xiangji feel a little more happy and less sad about losing her child. She seemed to see that the concubine in the house could only salute to herself in the future, and her heart, which was still a little mournful, immediately became excited. She was so happy that she used a child who was not a prince at all in exchange for her own benefits. She had already thought about it before.
Seeing that her face was full of joy, it was no longer the reluctant look before, and now she had a smile in her eyes. It was clear from the first glance that she was happy and disappointed. The mother-in-law looked at her with disdain and did not talk to her. What nonsense, he just said: "Xiang Ji, then you should make preparations today."
"Okay!" Xiang Ji nodded in agreement. (To be continued)
