Hearing this, Mo Qin looked embarrassed, "Sorry, princess, unfortunately, I injured my foot a few days ago and can't dance."
Princess Jiayi looked suspicious.
Who knows if it is true or false?
Mo Qin glanced at Xixiang, who immediately understood and came forward to support his young lady.
Princess Jiayi gave up her suspicion when she saw Mo Qin being helped out.
Mo Qin walked up to the guzheng musician, who immediately stood up and stepped aside.
"The so-called singing and dancing. The princess dances so beautifully. She must also have very good music theory. It's a pity that I can't dance with the princess today. How about playing a song to accompany the princess?"
Accompaniment?
How can this compare?
The dancer present was a good dancer and did not recommend himself. If he did, wouldn't it be a sign that he was interested in the sixth prince.
Furthermore, Princess Jiayi wanted to challenge the sixth prince's fiancée, but not the majesty of their country.
The jealousy in the youngest daughter's family will be over for a while, but it will become more serious when it reaches the national level.
Just like that, one person plays and the other dances.
After the song ended, Princess Jiayi looked at Mo Qin with brighter eyes.
She praised without hesitation, "Miss Mo is really talented and beautiful, and her piano skills are amazing. I feel ashamed of herself. However, this doesn't mean that my dancing is not as good as yours, so it can only be considered a tie!"
The old emperor looked down.
Although she didn't compete in dance, she still showed her skills, showing that she was not without talent and had not lost face.
Since Zi Yan didn't explicitly refuse, and the second young lady of the Mo family was weak and so timid, she might not be able to bear the title of the concubine.
Just be a concubine.
The Mo family already had a princess, so making her a concubine would not be considered an insult to her.
He felt relieved, but the emperor looked troubled and distressed.
Princess Jiayi once again proposed marriage to the emperor on the grounds that she could not win her over.
The atmosphere of the banquet became tense for a while.
"Xiang Mo, this...you think about what I should do."
Hearing this, Prime Minister Mo felt cold.
What to do?
This made him take the initiative to retreat. He was really an old fox. He secretly spat in his heart and spoke respectfully:
"The diplomatic relations between the two countries are a big deal, but the personal affairs of the children are a small matter. My daughter should abdicate and let Princess Jiayi take over."
"Okay, you are indeed my beloved. I just wronged you."
The emperor's brows relaxed and he said to the queen sitting next to him, "I'll leave it to you to compensate Mo Xiang's daughter."
The Queen and Madam Mo were once close friends, but now that Madam Mo's daughter has suffered something like this, she will make up for it without the emperor's orders.
Princess Jiayi has granted marriage to the sixth prince, and the wedding will be in five days.
Mo Simiao was the side concubine, and the wedding date remained unchanged. It was set in November, and she was granted permission to welcome the bride with the ceremony of a principal concubine.
There were probably only three people from Mo Mansion who were unhappy about this matter.
Mo Simiao almost cried on the spot, looking at Zhao Ziyan with unconcealed resentment. Of course, she was more resentful towards Mo Qin and Princess Jiayi.
Mrs. Mo had a dark face and a fake smile throughout.
After the banquet was over, the queen sent someone to invite Mrs. Mo.
"Xiaoqin, if you have trouble with your legs and feet, go back to the carriage first. Sisi and I will be here soon."
After saying that, Mrs. Mo took Mo Simiao to see the queen.
Before walking a few steps, Mo Qin saw Gu Shaoxuan standing by the road.
He was wearing a dark jade purple robe, his long hair was tied up high with a jade crown, still holding a fan in his hand, and he was looking at the crowd coming out seriously.
He didn't move until he saw Mo Qin.
He walked towards Mo Qin, took over Xi Xiang's position, and supported Mo Qin.
"Why are you alone and where are they?"
Although her foot injury was fake, the people in Mo Mansion didn't know the truth about this matter, so how could they safely let her go alone?
"They are going to see the queen, let me go first."
Mo Qin said nonchalantly.
Watching the people around her pass her one by one, she suddenly felt that her foot injury could heal faster.
A few days ago, it was okay to stay in the yard, but now that she came out, she could only move forward at a snail's pace.
The palace is so big and the road is so far, how long will she go there?
Tired.
"Want to leave the palace quickly?"
"I think!" Mo Qin nodded hurriedly.
Of course, by walking so slowly, do you want to crush all the ants on the road?
Gu Shaoxuan chuckled lightly and winked at the attendant holding the lantern, who walked onto another path holding the lantern.
"This is the path out of the palace. They don't go from this way."
Mo Qin looked forward. It was dark and there was no one on the road.
"Is this a shortcut?"
Gu Shaoxuan shook his head, "No."
Don’t take the shortcut, take the long way around.
You are really smart.
"That……"
Before Mo Qin finished speaking, she was picked up by Gu Shaoxuan. She let out a low cry and subconsciously grabbed Gu Shaoxuan's clothes.
"There is no one here. If I carry you out, I will definitely be faster than them."
"..."
Mo Qin thought for a while and said nothing.
The attendant lowered his head and lowered his eyes, leading the way with a good step, as if he could not hear what was said behind him.
Xixiang opened her mouth wide in surprise, then covered her lips and snickered. She didn't dare to look around anymore, and walked not far behind the two of them.
When they approached the palace gate, Mo Qin almost fell asleep.
There were more people in front of him. Gu Shaoxuan put them down and helped them away.
Mrs. Mo and Mo Simiao haven't come back yet, and Prime Minister Mo has already gone back.
"I'll take you back. They don't know how long it will take."
After saying this to Mo Qin, Gu Shaoxuan was about to lead her to the car, but he did not forget to say to Xi Xiang who was falling behind:
"You stay here and tell Mrs. Mo that I will send him back."
Xixiang was blessed and stood in front of the carriage of the Mo Mansion, watching the carriage of Prince Rui Mansion go away.
Inside the carriage.
"You're pretending to have a foot injury just for today?"
When he heard Prime Minister Mo asking Mo Qin to compete, he was angry inside.
If you don’t have the ability yourself, what’s the point of pushing it to others?
When he heard about dancing, he was suddenly shocked.
Such a coincidence?
If this is really the case, how did Qinqin know that there would be a dance competition today?
It is not difficult to know about marrying the princess, and it is not difficult to know that she is good at dancing.
But, how did she know that she would like the Sixth Prince?
"Yeah, that's right."
Mo Qin was not surprised that he could guess this and admitted it openly.
Ask why?
can not explain.
It doesn't matter how he guesses or whether he doubts it, as long as it doesn't affect the result.
"You're not going to tell me what's going on?"
It was admitted readily, but there was no follow-up.
Gu Shaoxuan couldn't help but continue to ask.
It's like, she targeted Zhao Ziyan without any motive, and now she can predict the future.
Each of these is a mystery to him.
Originally, he thought he could solve various reasons, but now, the mystery is getting bigger and bigger.
Mo Qin poured herself a cup of tea. The tea was warm and her favorite scented tea.
"Does it matter?"
It's not important, Gu Shaoxuan subconsciously came up with the answer in his mind.
It doesn't matter whether it's Zhao Ziyan or some other princess.
He doesn't like things that he can't figure out.
The unknown is dangerous.
But if this person is her, he is willing to take risks, no matter the danger.
