The day before, Marquis Ningyuan had just beaten Yale Gesheng, and early the next morning, Xu Qingmo and Mrs. Xu were invited into the palace by the queen.
The decree came in such a hurry that Xu Qingmo didn't even have time to dress up, so she entered the palace with a plain face. And because she got up too early and didn't sleep well, her face wasn't particularly good, and she still looked a little pale.
So when the queen saw Xu Qingmo, she thought she was worried about Yale Gesheng and had not slept well.
Xu Qingmo did not explain, but just listened to the queen quietly: "...I am worried that you will be upset, so I asked you to talk!"
"Yesterday, I heard that our Marquis made a scene in the palace. Where is Your Majesty..." Mrs. Xu asked cautiously.
"It's okay!" the queen comforted, "Your Majesty is well aware of the temper of your Marquis. Besides, what happened yesterday was originally the eldest prince of Northern Xinjiang who did something wrong. Our Girls, they are all very valuable and cannot tolerate him doing such nonsense!"
Mrs. Xu finally felt at ease: "They said they just didn't understand our rules, so that's it. But they were obviously taking advantage of being guests and arrogantly getting on top of us. Yesterday, my wife explained again and again that they only thought they were guests." He didn't understand what he was talking about. Now that the betrothal gift is over, we, Mo Mo, are his. If the Marquis hadn't happened to be in the house yesterday, I wouldn't have known what to do!"
Hearing Mrs. Xu say this, the queen couldn't help but frown: "Barbaric people!"
Mrs. Xu sighed.
Princess Zhengyang heard that Xu Qingmo was coming, so she hurried over. As soon as she reached the yard, she started to look around: "Is the Xu family girl still there?"
The queen heard Princess Zhengyang's voice, smiled, and then said to Xu Qingmo: "Since Zhengyang came back yesterday, she has been talking about you. No, as soon as you sat down, she came to find you on the back. You go Come on, play with her for a while, and I’ll talk to your mother too!”
Playing with Princess Zhengyang was better than listening to the queen and mother talking there. Xu Qingmo responded and hurried out.
As soon as Princess Zhengyang saw Xu Qingmo, she held her hand: "I heard about Yale Gesheng. It's all because I drank too much yesterday. Are you okay?"
Xu Qingmo was a little uncomfortable with Princess Zhengyang's sudden familiarity, but after a while, he said with a smile: "It's nothing, my father beat me away, it's a trivial matter!"
Princess Zhengyang looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and then said: "I can't help but envy you!"
"Ah?" Xu Qingmo was a little surprised, "Why do you envy me?"
"I'm thinking, if I go to get married, and then Northern Xinjiang attacks our dynasty, what will my father do?" Princess Zhengyang lowered her head and looked at her toes, "I think, my father will not You will care whether I live or die, after all, the last thing my father needs is a daughter, one more is not too much, and one less is not too much!"
Xu Qingmo looked deeply at Princess Zhengyang. She did not expect that Princess Zhengyang would say this to her.
"Look, Marquis Ningyuan can beat up Ye Gesheng for you, and even beat up all the envoys. If it were my father, he might have married me off!" Princess Zhengyang's eyes were full of disappointment. .
Xu Qingmo looked at Princess Zhengyang for a long time, and then said: "Princess, don't you think that you are very anxious about your marriage to my eldest brother?"
"ah?"
"Although my eldest brother is not young, he is not particularly old either. The princess is only a few months older than me, and she has just grown hair. There is no need to get engaged in such a hurry!" Xu Qingmo looked at Princess Zhengyang and said softly.
Princess Zhengyang was a little stunned.
"Your Majesty has many princesses, so your Majesty will certainly not be a perfect father, but you are the only princess your Majesty has born directly. Your Majesty still has many preferences for princesses. As far as this marriage is concerned, your Majesty is already very fond of it. The princess has considered it!" Xu Qingmo walked forward slowly, not noticing Princess Zhengyang who had stopped unknowingly.
"You mean, it was me who was originally scheduled to marry the princess?" Princess Zhengyang looked at Xu Qingmo with disbelief on her face.
"You are the only princess in our dynasty. There is no princess with a more noble status than you!" Xu Qingmo looked back at Princess Zhengyang and said softly.
Princess Zhengyang suddenly realized it, and then tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes: "Now, is it because I am engaged to your eldest brother that you are being targeted by Yale Gesheng?"
Xu Qingmo touched his nose: "The two should have nothing to do with each other. He still wants to marry a princess. When she came to my house, she was also talking about a concubine. He probably wanted to buy one get one free, marry a princess, and take a concubine. Let him have his spring and autumn dreams!"
Princess Zhengyang couldn't hold it back, and burst into laughter: "Originally, I thought you would be very upset because of this matter, but I didn't expect that you would be so open-minded!"
Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows: "Because I can beat him! If I am really forced to marry him, I can kill him on our wedding night! I can really beat him to death!"
"ah?"
"I'm just kidding you!" Xu Qingmo said with a smile.
Just as Xu Qingmo was retreating step by step, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He turned around suddenly and saw His Royal Highness coming slowly.
Xu Qingmo lowered his head and saluted: "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xie Suxian looked a little haggard, and his brows and eyes were full of exhaustion: "Xu Qingmo!"
For some reason, Xu Qingmo's intuition told him that Xie Suxian had something to say to him alone.
Sure enough, the next moment, Xie Suxian whispered to Xu Qingmo: "Can we talk?"
In fact, Xu Qingmo didn't really want to talk to Xie Suxian, but he was the prince, and Xu Qingmo couldn't refuse, so he had to nod in agreement.
Xie Suxian took Xu Qingmo to a corner. Princess Zhengyang was waiting at a distance, so it was difficult to go far.
"When the envoy from Northern Xinjiang leaves, I will be engaged to the Yan family!" Xie Suxian looked at Xu Qingmo and said softly.
Xu Qingmo paused and then said: "Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Xie Suxian took a deep breath: "Now, as long as you nod, the position of Crown Princess will be yours!"
"I don't want it!" Xu Qingmo looked up at Xie Suxian without any hesitation.
"Why? Crown Princess, in the future she will be a person below ten thousand people, why..."
"Because I don't have any feelings for you!" Xu Qingmo said bluntly, "Or to put it another way, Your Highness, I don't like you, not at all!"
Xie Suxian's eyes were full of hurt: "Why?"
"I don't like cunning people!" Xu Qingmo said coldly, "Besides, His Highness likes the Xu family, not me!"
