Chapter 153 Find someone to take care of him
Mo Fuchen has always had a bad reputation. Even though Mo Fuchen has now proved that he has not touched those concubines, Xia Zhibai still doesn't believe it.
How could a well-behaved girl like Yan'er possibly be able to outwit an old fox like Mo Yuchen?
Xia Yanxiang didn't object, so Mo Yuchen didn't say anything either and nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, Mo Yuchen still prepared a large box of pastries from Prince Luo's Mansion for Xia Yanxiang.
Xia Zhibai could defend it once, but not twice. His face turned green when he saw the food box prepared by Mo Yuchen.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Luo." Xia Yanxiang nodded slightly to express her gratitude, and Yu Kui came up and took it.
Mo Fuchen wanted to talk to Xia Yanxiang alone, but Xia Zhibai kept staring at her. Mo Fuchen couldn't let Xia Yanxiang go aside, so he had to find another way to make an appointment with Yanxiang.
After watching Xia Zhibai and his sister leave, Mo Yuxuan dared to come up and put his arm around Mo Yuchen's shoulders: "Second brother, you wanted to trick me today, right?"
Mo Yuchen lifted up Mo Yuxuan's hand and turned to go in: "Wouldn't it be good for you to meet General Pu Wei in advance?"
Hey! If General Pu Wei knew that I was after Qian Xiang, he would beat me to death!
"Second brother!" Mo Xuanxuan was almost trapped by this fox, "General Pu Wei would kill me if he knew!"
"General Pu Wei will know about this one day. Are you still afraid?"
Although Mo Yuxuan had told Concubine Su about this matter under the urging of Mo Yuchen, this matter could not be known to other people, so Mo Yuxuan could only do it secretly.
"By the way, didn't father say that he would choose a concubine for you?" Mo Yuchen had been busy dealing with matters between him and Xia Yanxiang these days. Mo Yufeng had written to him before asking for his help, but he hadn't had time to free up his hands.
Mo Yuxuan seemed to be unaware: "No! Although I often go to the palace, my father has never told me."
The two of them had already walked into the study, and Mo Yuchen waved his hand to signal Yizhu to close the door.
Mo Yuchen was a little unsure of Mo Cheng's intention: "Could it be that Father only wants to choose a concubine for Prince Wei?"
"King Wei? Mo Yufeng?" Mo Yuxuan had never dealt with Mo Yufeng, and he didn't know why his second brother suddenly mentioned Mo Yufeng?
Mo Yuchen nodded: "My father wants to choose a concubine for Prince Wei, but Prince Wei is not happy about it, so he asked me for help."
"Isn't Mo Yufeng only sixteen years old? Why is father so anxious to choose a concubine for him?" Even Mo Yuxuan would be eighteen this year, but Mo Cheng had never thought of choosing a concubine for him.
Mo Yuchen shook his head, but one thing was certain: "The Queen had raised Prince Wei before, but she treated him badly. It's hard to guarantee that she didn't want to control Prince Wei."
"Second brother, do you want to help him?" Mo Yuxuan didn't know what Mo Yuchen was thinking. Mo Yufeng was able to leave the palace and build a mansion at such a young age, so he was definitely not naive at this age.
"I've already agreed." Mo Yuchen not only agreed, he even thought of a backup plan for Mo Yufeng, it just depends on whether he is willing to use it.
"Ah?" Mo Yuxuan had always known that Mo Yuchen was decisive and smart, but he still didn't understand Mo Yuchen's decision. "Second brother, have you thought it through?"
Once he helped Mo Yufeng, he would be supporting one of his rivals in disguise.
Mo Yuchen never regretted his decision: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Since Mo Yuchen said he knew what was going on, Mo Yuxuan became worried.
Mo Yufeng received the letter from Mo Yuchen and frowned. Could it be that Prince Luo was deliberately trying to make trouble for him?
"What's wrong, Your Highness? Is the method given by Prince Luo not working?" Chu Qiu saw Mo Yufeng frowning and couldn't help asking.
Mo Yufeng handed the letter to Chu Qiu. Chu Qiu took it and read it. It turned out that the letter asked Mo Yufeng to pretend to be sick during the period of selecting concubines, and then go to the formal selection ceremony in a weak and frail state.
In this way, even if a noble lady or a high-ranking official took a fancy to him, they would weigh his body to see who would be so nervous as to marry their daughter to him.
Mo Yuchen also came up with another method, which was to deliberately stir up some trouble during the selection of concubines to let people know that someone had tampered with the selection. In this way, even if the other party wanted to marry, the emperor would be suspicious and would not continue to force Mo Yufeng to marry a concubine.
The first method seemed unreliable no matter how he looked at it. It seemed that Mo Yuchen clearly wanted him to choose the second one.
"Your Highness, has the Emperor set a date for selecting a concubine?"
"Not yet, but it will probably be soon." Mo Yufeng narrowed his eyes and thought, "But I am going to marry a concubine ahead of several of my brothers. I don't know what the Queen thinks about this."
"Prince Yuan has just been reprimanded, and that concubine probably has nothing to do anymore; Prince Luo has now chosen the principal wife that the Queen wanted, and I wonder how he feels now that he knows that I want to choose a concubine?" Mo Yufeng's face looked very relaxed.
Chu Qiu had been with Mo Yufeng for many years, so he naturally knew why Mo Yufeng was in a good mood, and his expression also looked much better.
"Choose a concubine?" Mo Cheng's words shocked the queen.
Mo Yufeng had just left the palace to build his own residence, but Mo Cheng was so respectful to him! First, he gave Mo Yufeng's mother a posthumous title, and now he wanted to find a helper for him.
What does Mo Cheng mean by this? Is he going to support Mo Yufeng?
"Yes, Feng'er lost his mother when he was young, and now he is alone outside the palace. I thought, I should choose two concubines to take care of him first, and then consider marrying him a principal wife after another two years." Mo Cheng seemed to be really caring about Mo Fengfeng.
"But," the Queen's face was extremely ugly, and she was so angry that her teeth itched in her heart, "Not to mention my concubine Yang'er, even the Prince of Yu, who is already 18 years old this year, has not yet married a concubine. This... Feng'er marrying a concubine so early is probably a bit presumptuous. I wonder if Concubine Su knows about this?"
Behind the queen's temptation was her reluctance, but she also wanted to suppress the matter.
"Empress Su?" Mo Cheng looked a little confused. "What does Feng'er getting married have to do with Xuan'er? Besides, my intention was to find someone who can take care of Feng'er."
"Especially now that Feng'er has started to go to court to share my worries, if there is no one else in the mansion to take care of her, I'm afraid it won't work."
The Queen's expression was really ugly, but she still had to restrain herself in front of Mo Cheng: "After all, Prince Yu is my elder brother, and he hasn't married yet. It's not good for Feng'er to overstep his authority. Besides, Feng'er is really young. It's probably too early for him to get married now..."
Emotionally and logically, it is really strange for Mo Yufeng to get married now.
Mo Cheng looked at the Queen with a half-smile: "What the Queen said is right. If that's the case, why not let Xuan'er and Feng'er choose concubines together? This way, it will not be an act of usurpation and it will be in line with my wishes."
