Chapter 201 Asking the Princess to Marry Him

Mo Yuxuan went to Anyue Palace angrily.

"Mother!" After entering Anyue Palace, Mo Yuxuan's attitude changed drastically. The anxiety and anger on the way turned into great joy. It didn't seem like he came to discuss strategies with Concubine Su, but rather to announce good news.

Concubine Su and Mo Yuanli were together. When they heard that Mo Yuxuan had arrived, Concubine Su signaled Aunt Hua to take all the eunuchs and palace maids out, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

"My father has already agreed to let Prince Wei take over the Ministry of Revenue, and he even said in the court how spoiled I was!" Mo Yuxuan's face did not look angry, but rather very happy.

Mo Yuanli and Concubine Su didn't know about Mo Yuchen's arrangement. When they heard Mo Yuchen say this, they both frowned.

However, Mo Xuanxuan quickly reassured them: "Don't worry, my second brother has arranged everything, and everything is going smoothly."

Concubine Su was not very worried about Mo Yuchen, but was concerned about other things: "Are you sure that Prince Wei's people are not Prince Yuan's men?"

"Don't worry, mother. My second brother knows all about this. We just need to pretend that we know nothing." Mo Yuxuan sat down carelessly and started to eat snacks.

Although Concubine Su was worried, since Mo Yuchen had already sent people to reassure her in advance, she didn't have to worry too much about what would happen next. She just had to protect Mo Yuanli well.

Although Concubine Su was relieved, Mo Yuanli was very worried: "Is my second brother really okay? Although Prince Wei's taking over the Ministry of Revenue does not count as handing it over to Prince Yuan, does father's attitude mean that he is being gentle with my second brother?"

In fact, Mo Yuchen seldom went to court on time. After all, their Anyue Palace already had a Prince Luo who was able to compete with Prince Yuan. If he acted too diligent, he would inevitably bring disaster upon himself.

But this does not mean that Mo Xuanxuan knows nothing about the affairs of the court.

"Father didn't mention my second brother at all today, but many ministers are already speculating whether Father is going to give up on him. But I think we should wait and see Father's true attitude." Although Mo Xuanxuan was eating, he was not careless in analyzing things.

"Prince Wei is a rising star. His influence in the court is completely incomparable to that of my second brother. Now that my second brother has fallen, the only one who has benefited is Prince Yuan. Father should not punish my second brother too harshly."

Mo Yuanli felt relieved after listening to Mo Yuxuan's analysis.

"Don't worry, your father is still strong and will not let Prince Yuan's family dominate the world. Prince Wei is just a young man who has just stepped into the muddy water. He is not strong enough to restrain Prince Yuan. As long as your father does not punish Yu An to death, Prince Yuan will always be worried. So, your father will not let this go for the time being." Concubine Su brought the hot tea beside her and comforted Mo Yuanli while drinking it.

Mo Yuanli's heart was almost calmed by these two people, and he didn't say anything more.

"By the way, the envoy Li is about to return to the capital, and it is said that he has brought an envoy from the Yuan Kingdom with him. Could it be that he is here to request a marriage for the princess?" Although Concubine Su was not in the previous dynasty, she knew something about these matters.

"Yes, it is said that Yuan State originally wanted to marry a princess here, but the princesses of both the royal family and the clan were too young, and there were not enough candidates for marriage. So the envoys refused at first, but they could not bear it because Yuan State was determined to establish diplomatic relations with Darong."

Mo Xuanxuan was not too happy about it. "But the envoy also rejected Yuan's idea of ​​marriage. After all, if we let our princess of the Darong Dynasty marry into such a small country, where would our Darong Dynasty's reputation be?"

Concubine Su was silent for a while, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"There is no marriageable woman in our clan, but there is one in the royal family..." Speaking of this, Mo Yuanli and Mo Xuanxuan immediately thought of Mo Yuanyue.

Mo Yuanyue is currently the only eligible woman in the royal family and clan, and the only candidate for marriage.

Concubine Su smiled slightly, with a mysterious look on her face: "Since there is only one candidate, it depends on what the Queen does. After all, she is not a princess in our palace, so we don't need to worry about her."

"What?!" Before people in Pengyi Palace had time to be happy, the news that Li Lang was about to return to Beijing reached the Queen's ears.

"The country of Yuan is coming to ask the princess to marry them?!" Unexpectedly, what the queen was most worried about had come true. In the entire royal family, there was only Mo Yuanyue, the princess of marriageable age. If she had to get married, she could only marry Mo Yuanyue.

Mo Yuanyue also happened to arrive at this time and heard the queen's words: "Mother, what's wrong?"

The queen's face was very ugly. She ordered Bichi to call Xu Zhongshi and Mo Yuyang into the palace, and dismissed the servants: "Yuer, come here."

Mo Yuanyue walked to the queen's side, sat down, looked up and asked, "Mother, what happened?"

"Someone from Yuan country has come and wants to marry the princess." The queen was a little worried, but she felt relieved the moment she saw Mo Yuanyue.

"But luckily, you are a legitimate princess, and it is impossible for you to marry into a small country like that. Just in case, we have to settle your marriage before the people from Yuan arrive."

After hearing what the queen said, Mo Yuanyue got furious: "Their Yuan Kingdom is just a small country! If you still want to marry a princess, why don't you go to heaven and marry a fairy?!"

The queen quickly grabbed Mo Yuanyue and said, "Keep your voice down! Walls have ears!"

Mo Yuanyue didn't listen at all: "What am I afraid of! I am the legitimate princess of the Darong Dynasty! Even if I want to get married, I want to marry a man who is as good as heaven! Why should I marry a foreign prince?!"

"Yuer!" The Queen's face turned cold and she scolded Mo Yuanyue, "That's enough! How can you still be a princess if you act like a spoiled brat like this?!"

"If this gets out, your reputation as a princess will be ruined. Who will be able to protect you?" The queen loves her daughter and is truly thinking about Mo Yuanyue, but that doesn't mean she will always be cleaning up Mo Yuanyue's mess in the future.

After being scolded by the Queen, Mo Yuanyue finally calmed down: "Mother..."

"You! Don't always rely on me and your uncle to do whatever you want. You have to walk your own path in the future. No one can do it for you. If you don't pay more attention, you may be sold out without knowing it." The queen sighed and said earnestly.

"Deal with the scandal of your aide as soon as possible and don't let anyone find out. If these things are exposed, you will have no choice but to marry a lower-class man, and you must do it willingly, otherwise you will be ruined." When the queen found out about the aide, she was almost angry to death.

As a princess, it doesn't matter how you play as long as you don't give anyone any handle. But Mo Yuanyue insisted on bringing people back from Jiangnan. Isn't this deliberately giving her opponent a handle?
