Chapter 154 I Don’t Want to Be Used as a Tool
"What?! I want to go too?!" Mo Yuxuan had just arrived at Anyue Palace to pay his respects to Concubine Su when he heard Concubine Su telling him about this. He was so angry that he jumped up from his chair.
"Keep your voice down!" Concubine Su glared at him. "Your father sent someone to tell me this morning. It must be correct."
Mo Yuxuan was extremely unhappy: "I'm not going!"
"You said you don't want to go, so don't go. Do you dare to tell your father?" Concubine Su never opposed Mo Yuxuan finding the girl he liked, but she also did not allow Mo Yuxuan to lose his life for a love affair.
"Mother! Didn't you promise me that you would help me?!" Mo Yuxuan felt so wronged. Prince Wei wanted to choose a concubine, so why did he have to drag him into it? !
Concubine Su gave Madam Hua a look, and Madam Hua immediately ordered the servants to leave.
"I promised you, but don't forget, no matter how much I help you, the decision is in the hands of your father." Concubine Su also wanted to help him, but this might be difficult.
"It is probably the Queen who brought this up. Everyone in the harem knows that she harmed Prince Wei's mother. Will she watch the Emperor support Prince Wei now?"
"Now the Emperor wants to choose a concubine for Prince Wei, and the Empress cannot openly object, so she has no choice but to pull out you, an unmarried prince who is older than Prince Wei."
"Why do they have to involve me in their matter?!" Mo Yuxuan was extremely unhappy. Every time the Queen and Prince Yuan had something going on, they always liked to involve Anyue Palace. A big tree attracts the wind, but they can't involve them every time, right?
Concubine Su did not explain any further. Although Mo Xuanxuan was a little naive, he was definitely not stupid. He thought this matter through clearly.
"Then how should I explain to Qianxiang?" Although Mo Xuanxuan has always been secretive, he has never overstepped the line when it comes to Xia Qianxiang.
The two had known each other for almost a year, but they had only met seven or eight times, and most of the time they communicated through letters.
It took a lot of effort for Xia Qianxiang to finally open her heart to him, but now he suddenly told her that Mo Yuxuan was going to marry a concubine. How would Mo Yuxuan have the face to contact Xia Qianxiang again in the future?
Concubine Su frowned: "This is your business, you should solve it yourself."
"How is it? Did King Yu agree?" Mo Cheng was reviewing memorials, but he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Zhu has agreed."
Mo Cheng was a little surprised: "So fast?"
"Yes, I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yu didn't say anything, but he agreed as soon as Concubine Su said it." To be honest, even Eunuch Li was surprised.
Prince Yu's participation in the selection of concubines this time can be said to be a result of the relationship, and it was the Queen who proposed it. Prince Yu has always been at odds with Pengyi Palace, but he agreed so quickly.
"I agreed..." Mo Cheng rolled his eyes and sneered.
What exactly does the Queen mean? Doesn’t Mo Cheng know it?
Wasn't it because he seemed to have the attitude of supporting Prince Wei that they hurriedly dragged Anyue Palace into the water?
This tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife is really clumsy.
But it's a good thing.
Mo Yufeng also received the news that Mo Yuxuan wanted to select a concubine together. He was quite surprised, but on second thought, how could he not know who was behind this?
"I'm afraid our Queen really thinks that our father wants to support me, so she is rushing to drag Anyue Palace into the water." Mo Yufeng was a little disdainful of the Queen's behavior. It seemed that this person had set his sights on him.
"King Zhu agreed?" Chu Qiu was a little unconvinced.
Mo Xuanxuan's personality is obvious to all. He always does what he wants. His personality is exactly the same as that of Princess Youchun.
Mo Yufeng nodded: "Not only did he agree, he even took the initiative to ask when to choose."
Mo Xuanxuan's actions were completely beyond everyone's expectations.
"Miss..." Zhong Ling came in hesitantly, holding a letter in her hand.
Xia Qianxiang had already known about the rumors outside, and now there was no longer any waves: "What's wrong?"
As she spoke, Xia Qianxiang's eyes fell on the letter in Zhong Ling's hand and she paused: "Are there any more letters?"
Zhong Ling didn't know whether she should give the letter to Xia Qianxiang. Yuxiu came up from behind and saw Zhong Ling. She wanted to ask what was wrong, but after seeing the letter, she fell silent.
Xia Qianxiang broke the silence first: "Give it to me! You guys go out first."
Zhong Ling gave the letter to Xia Qianxiang and took Yuxiu out.
After reading the letter, Xia Qianxiang's mood didn't change much, and she burned the letter as usual.
The letter paper had burned her fingertips. When Xia Qianxiang came to her senses, her fingertips were already slightly red.
Xia Qianxiang closed her eyes and told herself again and again in her heart not to have any extravagant hopes, don't, don't have any extravagant hopes.
Suddenly, Xia Qianxiang opened her eyes and walked aside to write a letter.
"Zhong Ling."
Zhong Ling heard Xia Qianxiang calling her and hurried in: "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Send this letter to my third sister." Xia Qianxiang quickly put it into an envelope, sealed it and handed it to Zhong Ling.
"The Third Miss? The Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Yes, let's go now." Only by letting the third sister know first can we make plans for the future.
"Yes."
Hope everything comes in time.
The date for selecting a concubine was officially set on February 14, an auspicious day.
I don’t know why, March 3rd is clearly a better day, but Mo Cheng actually chose the day before March 3rd, and even selected concubines for the two princes with great fanfare.
"Have you heard? The Emperor is going to choose concubines for His Royal Highness Prince Yu and His Royal Highness Prince Wei!"
"I heard that this matter has been spread all over. At first, it seemed that it was only for Prince Wei to choose. Later, the Empress felt that it was inappropriate and advised the Emperor to choose for His Royal Highness Prince Yu as well."
"Is this true? His Highness Prince Yu is two years happier than His Highness Prince Wei. Does the Emperor really not care about His Highness Prince Yu's reputation?"
"Hush! Keep your voice down! Don't criticize the emperor! This is a capital crime!"
"But what the emperor did was really ugly!"
"Alright, alright! Didn't the Empress advise the Emperor when she saw something was wrong? Speaking of which, the Empress is a role model. Even though Imperial Concubine Su has been favored for so many years, the Empress still spoke up for His Royal Highness Prince Yu. Otherwise, the Emperor might have forgotten about this son long ago!"
"Alright, alright! Stop talking! Be careful, walls may have ears!"
Xia Qianxiang and Xia Yanxiang agreed to meet at a teahouse. Xia Qianxiang arrived first and heard people in the next room discussing the prince's selection of a concubine.
"Knock knock!"
"Please come in."
Xia Yanxiang pushed the door open.
Xia Qianxiang stood up: "Third sister."
Xia Yanxiang nodded and walked to the table. Yukui looked outside from behind and closed the door after making sure that no one was following her.
"Believe me, Qianxiang, are you sure?" Xia Yanxiang knew about Xia Qianxiang and Mo Xuanxuan, but to be honest, Xia Yanxiang was not very sure.
Xia Qianxiang hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Third sister, I don't want to be sent away by my father to be used as a tool."
