Chapter 153 I really enjoy this nagging
Xiao Mo said it unintentionally, but Feng Zhiqiu heard something else.
She came closer to her and asked in a low voice, "The one who wants to stop it is His Royal Highness Prince Jin, right?"
Xiao Mo raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows slightly, but said nothing.
Feng Zhiqiu pursed his lips and sat up straight, sighing: "Anyone can see the feelings between you three.
Prince Jin likes you, but you and Prince Chen are in love with each other. Who else would want to stop your marriage except him?"
"If you marry someone who doesn't like you, you will be tired for the rest of your life."
Xiao Mo lowered her head feeling a little disappointed.
Qi Yue is a nice person, but only as a friend.
"Hey, why didn't His Royal Highness Prince Chen come with you today?"
Xiao Mo was about to answer that he had something to do, but the talkative Shen Yun interrupted her before she could.
"They've been having a quarrel these past two days."
"Ah?" Feng Zhiqiu looked at Xiao Mo in disbelief. "Didn't you just get married? Why are you quarreling again?"
Xiao Mo glared at Shen Yun with a resentful look, then looked at Feng Zhiqiu with a smile.
"It's just a small matter. It won't affect our relationship."
"If small things are not resolved, they will become big things. I can see that the King of Chen cares about you very much.
Don't hurt someone who truly loves you over trivial matters."
Xiao Mo only took in a few words of Feng Zhiqiu's words: "I care about you and hurt the people who love you."
She lowered her eyes and smiled softly: "Who hurt him? He was the first to hurt me."
Although Feng Zhiqiu didn't know the specific situation, he could guess a little.
She took Xiao Mo's hand and held it tightly: "Even if two people are in love, they will have disagreements sometimes.
Just like the tongue and teeth, it is good that there will be occasional friction.
You all need to learn to compromise. If it's a misunderstanding, explain it openly. If not, try to comfort the person appropriately."
Xiao Mo listened attentively, without any impatience at all.
Because Feng Zhiqiu's tone of voice was exactly the same as Murong Shu's, and she had lost her mother's love since childhood, she cherished this kind of nagging very much.
After dinner, Xiao Mo sat for a while, watching the sky gradually darken. Feng Zhiqiu reminded her that it was time to go back.
When the two returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the stars in the night sky were out.
Pushing open the door of Suqiyuan, Xiao Mo found that the light in her room was on, and was a little puzzled.
After entering the room, she found that it was Murong Shu who was waiting for her inside.
Seeing her come back, Murong Shu's reflexive smile instantly collapsed.
"You still remember to come back. I thought you didn't care about this family anymore!"
Xiao Mo knew that she was angry, and walked up to her and hugged her from behind with a smile.
"This is my home, and my beloved mother is here. How could I not cherish it?"
Murong Shu's anger subsided after hearing her words. She snorted and her tone softened.
"Do you look like a lady from a wealthy family? You're rarely seen here all day."
She took Xiao Mo's hand, took her around, and asked her to sit next to her.
"Although the Emperor has granted you and His Royal Highness Prince Chen a marriage, you are not considered husband and wife until you are married. If you keep running to him day and night, you will inevitably be gossiped about."
"I didn't." Xiao Mo retorted without thinking.
Murong Shu's eyebrows furrowed, and she tilted her head in confusion: "Your father was summoned to the palace by the emperor this afternoon. When he came out, he saw you and Shen Yun walking towards the palace gate. Where did you go if you didn't go to his place?"
Xiao Mo lowered her eyes and smiled, "I mean, I didn't run to Prince Chen's Mansion day and night."
"Still quibbling, then pay attention to this issue."
"Before I was granted the marriage, I was still going in and out of Prince Chen's Mansion. I didn't see you say anything..."
She muttered something, and Murong Shu beside her frowned: "What are you talking about?"
"No, I didn't say anything."
Murong Shu stared at her face carefully, then reached out and gently stroked the hair on her forehead.
"You can marry the person you love. Mother is happy for you, but don't just be happy. You still need to be vigilant and be careful of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Mo looked at her in confusion, not knowing why she suddenly said such a thing.
Murong Shu saw the doubt in her eyes, sighed, and expressed her guess.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves you so much. If he becomes paranoid and ascends the throne one day, I'm afraid he will be the first to make things difficult for you."
"Then let him be embarrassed. I am very confident in the relationship between Ash and me."
Xiao Mo raised her chin with pride, a happy smile on her face.
Murong Shu shook her head: "It's okay if it's just a dilemma, but I'm afraid he will issue an imperial decree to separate you.
Or I could use it to deal with Prince Chen threatening you. If he gets even crazier, it would be even worse if he takes you into his harem."
"No, when he becomes emperor and has three thousand beauties in his harem, how will he remember me?"
Murong Shu felt helpless about Xiao Mo's naive ideas.
She has been in this deep house for decades and has seen too many things like this.
"As the crown prince, or even the emperor, he commands immense power. What kind of person wouldn't he want?
At that time, who he wanted was no longer a question of whether he liked it or not, but a way to show his power.
Anyone who refuses is challenging the royal authority. As someone under the emperor's feet, you have to agree even if you don't like it.
If your rejection of him now becomes a thorn in his heart, he will most likely seek revenge on you and His Royal Highness Prince Chen after he becomes emperor."
Murong Shu analyzed the situation carefully for her, hoping that she would listen and plan a countermeasure with Prince Chen in advance.
Xiao Mo's eyes were unfocused as she thought deeply about her words, her brows tightly furrowed.
"Although what my mother said makes sense, I can't marry someone I don't like just for that reason, right?"
She bit her lip, and suddenly an idea came to her: "I know what to do!
When Ah Xiu and I get married, I will ask the emperor to send me to guard the frontier and live there all year round like my uncle.
This way, we can avoid the problem you mentioned. Maybe after a while, he will forget about me."
Murong Shu thought about her suggestion and nodded reluctantly.
“I hope this really works.”
Xiao Mo glanced out the window and coquettishly took Murong Shu's hand and said, "It's late, mother, go back and rest."
Murong Shu looked at her and touched her face: "You must be tired after a day, you should rest early."
In the palace, the emperor went to Yongyang Palace as soon as he finished dealing with the flood in the south of the Yangtze River.
She had been urging him to arrange a marriage between Qi Yue and Xiao Mo, but now not only did he not do so, he also arranged a marriage between Qi Minxiu and Xiao Mo.
Based on her temper, he thought she would go and make trouble with him, but the result was beyond his expectations.
After finishing his meal, the emperor wiped his mouth and looked at Concubine Liang who was smiling.
He thought she didn't know about this, so he didn't get angry, but when he told her about it, she was unusually calm.
