Mo Junhao was invited to meet by Mo Shujun for the first time, and the meeting place was requested to be private.
He guessed the other party's purpose almost immediately, immediately contacted Zhuangzi, and secretly took Mo Shujun over.
After Mo Shujun saw Mo Junhao, she first expressed her usual concern, and Mo Junhao responded one by one.
The two had a very pleasant conversation for a while.
"Jun Hao, you told me before that you wanted to marry the Shi family. I wonder what you mean now?" Mo Shujun probed quietly.
Mo Junhao answered in a decent manner: "Jun Hao dare not hide it from the imperial aunt. Jun Hao does intend to marry the Duke of Shi. This is not only good for me, but also of great benefit to the current situation of the Duke of Shi. I hope the imperial aunt will make it happen."
Starting from interests and not talking about feelings, it is easier to impress Mo Shujun.
Mo Shujun nodded secretly, admiring Mo Junhao's judgment of the situation.
She concentrated on thinking for a while and then asked: "You want to marry with the Shi family. I have nothing to object to. But there are many unmarried ladies in the Shi family. Do you just want to marry with the Shi family, or do you want to marry a certain lady from the Shi family?" What about marriage?"
Mo Junhao didn't expect that Mo Shujun would ask such a pointed question, and he was a little stunned for a moment.
In his opinion, the prosperity that Shi Guogong's mansion is able to guarantee today is all due to Shi Junhe alone. The wives of the second and third bedrooms are also nominally the direct wives of the Shi family, but they are incomparable to Shi Qingxue. of.
Mo Shujun must also know this, but she still pretends to know nothing and compares all the ladies.
This is probably just to test his tone.
Thinking of the rumors outside that the eldest princess did not love her eldest son and loved her bastard son, Mo Junhao couldn't help but feel nervous. It seemed that Mo Shujun was here to kiss the third wife.
Mo Shujun hesitated for a moment. Although she was very moved by Mo Shujun's support, she didn't know what was blocking her heart.
He said in a strange way: "Please be aware of it, Aunt Huang. Jun Hao has grown up with his childhood sweetheart Sister Xue. They have a very deep relationship. He hopes to marry Qingxue as his wife, and I hope Aunt Huang will make it happen!"
After saying the words, Mo Junhao understood what he was feeling.
Sure enough, the person he wanted to marry the most was Shi Qingxue!
Mo Shujun looked at Mo Junhao silently, making him feel uneasy. When she lowered her head and said nothing, she suddenly asked: "Then how come I heard that you gave your personal jade pendant to Siniang again?"
Mo Junhao was shocked again.
This was only a day or two ago. He even gave Shi Baoyou a lot of warnings not to tell anyone about it, and not to show the jade pendant to others. Unexpectedly, Shi Baoyou still told her.
Sure enough, women cannot be trusted!
Mo Shujun waited for a while but did not get Mo Junhao's answer, so she continued to ask: "Did I slander you?"
Mo Junhao quickly softened his attitude, avoided Mo Shujun's sharp attack, and said: "No! That jade pendant was indeed given to Baoyou by Jun Hao."
Mo Shujun's old face suddenly became gloomy, and she asked aggressively: "Since you are bent on marrying Qingxue, why are you flirting with Baoyou again? Do you really think that my wife is your harem, and you can choose whoever you want?" Which one do you want?"
"Jun Hao doesn't dare!" Mo Junhao quickly bowed his head and apologized, avoiding Mo Shujun's sharp attack.
Mo Shujun refused to let Mo Junhao go easily, and sneered: "Why don't you dare? You are so bold!
I heard from the servants in the mansion that you drive a carriage to pick up Baoyou at the gate of the mansion almost every day these days. Do you really think that if you don’t tell these things and if Baoyou doesn’t tell them, no one will know? "
Mo Junhao: "..."
He finally understood now that Mo Shujun had known everything for a long time. She first deliberately used a pretext to lure him into telling his true feelings, and then brought Shi Baoyou out to talk about it, forcing him to become speechless.
At this time, Mo Junhao almost regretted it. Why did he feel so soft-hearted and give the jade pendant to Shi Baoyou
If he didn't have that jade pendant, he might still have a chance to argue, but now... the handle is all in other people's hands, so what else can he say.
It was not a wise choice to anger Mo Shujun at this juncture.
Mo Junhao immediately gave up struggling, bowed to Mo Shujun, and said with a smile: "The imperial aunt is aware that Jun Hao dare not lie anymore. Jun Hao is indeed fond of Baoyou, but he also loves Qingxue..."
He changed the topic and smiled a little shyly, but also a little ambiguous, "You are a person who has been here before. You should know that men can't resist the temptation in this kind of thing. Jun Hao just made a mistake that all men in the world make. .”
"Humph!" Mo Shujun snorted coldly and said nothing.
Mo Junhao quickly complemented her in a low voice, "Besides, every one of the ladies you have raised, Aunt Imperial, is excellent. Even if Jun Hao doesn't want to be tempted!"
Mo Shujun curled her lips coldly, and there was not much smile in her eyes. She only said lightly sarcastically: "You are really good at talking!"
Mo Junhao quickly said he didn't dare.
But that attitude has already been shown. He just wants to marry Shi Qingxue, and he also wants Shi Baoyou.
Although marrying two sisters is a bit excessive, it is not unheard of.
Didn't Emperor Yao and Emperor E'e's daughter Ying once become a good talker
Not to mention that Shi Qingxue and Shi Baoyou were strictly just cousins, and their relationship was a step further away than that of Empress E and Nvying!
"You have a good plan!"
Although Mo Shujun understood the thoughts of a man having three wives and four concubines, when it happened to her, especially since she was the grandmother of two wives, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Mo Junhao's words.
After a moment of silence, Mo Shujun asked again: "Since you are interested in both ladies, do you plan to marry them both?"
Mo Junhao smiled shyly, and just when he was about to nod, Mo Shujun smiled half-heartedly, and asked again: "Do you think Qingxue, with her temperament, would agree to share the same husband with another woman?"
Mo Junhao's smile froze on his face, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Maybe they don't know Shi Qingxue as well as they did before, but everyone knows the stubbornness and pride in Shi Qingxue's heart.
If Shi Qingxue is really pushed into a hurry, she will definitely do something that would rather be broken than ruined.
Mo Junhao was in a dilemma. Although it was this deep-rooted pride that attracted him deeply, it also brought him a lot of trouble!
While carefully observing Mo Shujun's expression, he said cautiously: "Jun Hao is also worried about something like this happening, so Jun Hao thought of marrying Qingxue first, and then..."
Seeing that Mo Shujun was about to get angry again, Mo Junhao quickly explained, "Auntie, please don't be angry. It's not that Jun Hao doesn't want to marry Bao You, but it's the general trend and Jun Hao can't do anything about it.
Mo Shujun asked coldly: "Oh? What kind of 'big trend' makes you unable to even give a woman the reputation she deserves?"
Speaking of this, Mo Junhao simply relaxed and confessed to Mo Shujun, "Jun Hao wants to marry Duke Shi, not only because he wants to rely on your reputation, but also for mutual benefit with Duke Shi. idea.
But Duke Shi's love for Qingxue is obvious to all. When I marry Qingxue, I will be his son-in-law, but if I still want to marry Baoyou at this juncture...
I'm afraid it won't be a marriage, but a feud! "
Probably because of Mo Junhao's sincere attitude and thorough analysis, Mo Shujun's anger gradually dissipated and she no longer forced Mo Junhao.
She thought about it for a long time, and still asked uneasily: "Then when do you plan to marry Baoyou?"
Mo Junhao calmly made the promise, "When Junhao gains power and can speak in front of everyone, he will naturally give Baoyou a status immediately and will never let her be wronged. This point Please rest assured, Auntie Huang."
Mo Shujun is not at all worried about Mo Junhao!
This man has a big heart and wants too much, but he is also a capable person.
Even though Mo Shujun had read countless people, she was not sure what Mo Junhao was thinking.
However, she did not voice this concern out loud, but responded in a dispensable manner: "Then I will wait and see!"
After that, she was supported by Leng Yan and left.
In the carriage, Mo Shujun's old face was tense and she never relaxed.
She saw Leng Yan kneeling respectfully and making tea for her. Her thoughts moved and she suddenly asked: "Yan'er, I never hide the affairs of this palace from you. Do you think the fourth prince's attitude is trustworthy?"
Leng Yan's hand shaking when pouring tea shook, but she soon calmed down, put the teapot back on the table, and then said: "In reply to the princess, I feel that His Highness the Fourth Prince would not dare to deceive you. Besides, even if he really does in the future If you want to break your promise, princess, is there anything you can do if you insist?"
Mo Shujun was amused by this subtle compliment and her heavy and depressed mood just now was swept away.
She couldn't help but pull Leng Yan to her feet, stroked her hair, and said with a smile: "You kid, you are really good at talking!"
Leng Yan obediently allowed Mo Shujun to move, leaning against Mo Shujun's thigh like a kitten. Such a submissive attitude pleased Mo Shujun even more.
Mo Shujun no longer hid it, let go of the topic, and asked again: "Then do you think it is better for me to comply with Baoyou's wishes and make her the fourth prince's concubine, or to sell the fourth prince a favor and let him first Are you going to marry Shi Qingxue?"
"This..." There was a trace of hesitation on Leng Yan's lightly made-up face.
After a long while, she responded cautiously and cautiously: "I think it would be better for the Fourth Mother to marry His Highness the Fourth Prince first."
Mo Shujun raised her eyebrows in surprise. Although she did not refute, she was still curious about how Leng Yan came to such a conclusion.
Leng Yan thought for a while and whispered: "The reason why this servant said this is based on the judgment based on the current situation.
Think about it, the reason why you want Liu Niang to marry His Highness the Fourth is not just to interrupt the Emperor's suspicion of the Shi family. The Shi family became a party of four princes, which would reassure the emperor more than an identity whose position was unclear. But our Shi family has not been separated! In fact, all the wives of the Shi family are the same. Could it be that if the Fourth Highness marries the fourth mother, the Shi family cannot be considered a party of four princes? Will the master stop supporting our third master’s career? "
"Of course not! He dares!" Mo Shujun snorted coldly, with full momentum.
It seems that if Shi Junhe dares not to help Shi Juncai, she can cure Shi Junhe of being an unfilial son.
Leng Yan knew that the eldest princess's heart had already strayed into the creaking nest, so she wisely did not tell the truth.
Smiling and echoing: "Princess, you are right! Since no matter whether the fourth prince marries Liu Niang or Si Niang, the interests of the entire Shi family are the same, then naturally it is more important to you that Si Niang becomes the fourth prince's concubine. a little better."
Mo Shujun paused for a moment, her eyes burning, "What should I say?"
"First, Si Niang is the eldest daughter of Third Master. If she becomes successful in the future, her father will naturally be the first person to help her. You also want Third Master to achieve great achievements, right?"
Mo Shujun nodded, her eyes signaling Leng Yan to continue.
"Secondly, Fourth Niang is well-behaved and obeys your words. She doesn't dare to hide anything. Even if she becomes the fourth prince's concubine in the future, or even reaches a higher position, she will not dare to disobey you. But if it were Liu Niang , but just..."
Leng Yan said no more at this point, but all the meaning she wanted to express had been expressed.
Mo Shujun completely agreed with what she said. Over the past year or so, she felt more and more that her control and influence over Shi Qingxue was constantly weakening, and had even reached the point of being uncontrollable.
Even though Mo Shujun had a high opinion of herself, she didn't dare to guarantee that she could really win over Shi Qingxue and control that wayward girl in the future.
In such a comparison, the soft-tempered Shi Baoyou is indeed much better.
but…
Mo Shujun's eyes flashed, she stared at Leng Yan, and suddenly asked: "Besides these two points, are there other reasons
Yan'er, why don't you tell me your thoughts? "
