Chapter 742: This matter, I do know

Fengyi Palace.

When the Queen learned that Concubine Yu was under house arrest, her first reaction was that it was impossible.

She frowned and said, "Xue'er, it's okay for you to act silly on weekdays, but you shouldn't say such things casually."

The Imperial Concubine has always been arrogant and spoiled. If she heard about this, she would definitely make a scene in front of His Majesty.

With her temper, once she starts raging, she will never stop until she has caused unrest in half the palace.

Just thinking about it gave her a headache.

Mo Yingxue's eyes suddenly widened, and she said with a look of grievance, "Look at what you said, mother. If you don't know, you might think that I do nothing but talk nonsense all day long."

The Queen smiled helplessly, "You little girl, I only said one sentence, but you have ten sentences waiting for me."

"No way!" Mo Yingxue put her arm around her, shook it gently, and said coquettishly, "Mother, you are wrongly accusing me. I just said one sentence.

Besides, everything my daughter said was true, without a single lie.

If you don't believe me, you can call Xianglan in and ask her. She's your favorite, so she won't follow me in deceiving you."

Hearing her sour tone, the queen reached out and tapped her forehead, saying helplessly, "Girl, you're always right no matter what you say."

Mo Yingxue snorted softly and corrected herself, "Mother is wrong, it's my daughter who is right.

You sound as if your daughter is making a point."

The Queen smiled and said, "Yes, yes, what our Princess Roujia said makes sense."

Being addressed by her given name, Mo Yingxue felt a little embarrassed and said coquettishly, "Mother, I will soon be a marriageable child. Please stop teasing me."

"Why, when you grow up you are no longer the Queen Mother's daughter?"

"Of course not. Even if my daughter lives to be a hundred years old, she will still be my precious daughter."

Mo Yingxue answered without hesitation, and rubbed her arm affectionately after she finished speaking. It was clear that she was still a child who had not grown up.

The Queen saw this and felt a warm glow in her heart. She reached out and rubbed her head and said, "You are already a grown-up girl, and yet you still act like a spoiled child to your mother all day long. You have no shame."

Mo Yingxue said as if it was a matter of course, "No matter how old I am, I can still act like a spoiled child to my mother."

As she spoke, the smile on her face froze, and she said with some discomfort: "Fifth brother is so pitiful. He has never seen his mother since he was born. He doesn't even know what she looks like."

The Queen sighed softly, with heartache in her eyes, "Prince Jin has been raised by your father since he was a child, and he has shouldered the expectations of too many people.

When I first saw him, I felt that he had too many things in his heart and would definitely live a very tiring life in the future.

I never imagined that he would go to the border town without hesitation and stay there for ten years."

It was rare to hear her talk about those days, so Mo Yingxue hurriedly asked, "Mother, when Fifth Brother left for the border town, you were already with Father. Doesn't that mean you know why he left the capital?"

The queen's face darkened slightly, and she asked in a cold voice, "Whose gossip have you been listening to again?"

"That's not true!" Mo Yingxue denied it flatly.

But the guilt in his eyes couldn't be deceived.

Especially since the person sitting in front of her was the queen who gave birth to her and raised her, she couldn't hide anything from her.

Meeting her stern gaze, Mo Yingxue uttered an "Ouch," lowered his head, and clasped his hands, saying, "I just happened to see it in a random book."

The Queen frowned, "How dare they show you a storybook?"

Mo Yingxue hurriedly said, "Mother, calm down. They didn't give it to me. I found it under the corridor of the bedroom."

The Queen said with a cold face, "Go out now and pick another one for me."

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Mo Yingxue became anxious and raised her hand, saying, "If there's even a single word I said that's false, I'll marry the wrong person in this life. No..."

"Shut up!"

The Queen pulled her hand away and said angrily, "You swear your future over a disagreement. Who did you learn this from?

Yingxue, you are killing your mother's heart!"

Mo Yingxue also felt aggrieved and pouted, "It's because Mother refuses to believe me."

"You still dare to talk back?"

"No, no, please calm down, mother. I know I was wrong."

He admitted his mistake so quickly that the queen didn't even have time to get angry.

Looking at her daughter's face that looked somewhat similar to hers, the queen couldn't get angry even if she wanted to.

She sighed softly, "I have really spoiled you. You are so lawless. What will happen to you when you get married in the future?"

Mo Yingxue blurted out, "Then I won't marry."

Facing the queen's shocked eyes, she said in a shocking tone, "If I can't find a husband like my fifth brother, I'd rather not marry."

The Queen pinched her palm and asked, "You mean the fifth brother?"

Mo Yingxue: "My Queen Mother, since you asked me that, I don't even have another Fifth Brother."

Hearing this, the queen almost fainted.

Her lips trembled as she said, "You bastard!"

Mo Yingxue felt wronged when she was suddenly scolded for no reason, "Why are you scolding me, mother? It's because those men are not good enough. They can't even compare to a finger of my fifth brother.

I either don't marry, or if I do marry, I'll choose the best."

The Queen realized something belatedly and said in frustration, "Look at me, I was so confused for a moment.

Mo Yingxue finally realized something when she heard this. Her face turned pale and red, and it took her a long time to utter a word.

She said, "Mother, you'd better read less of those storybooks from now on."

After these words were spoken, both mother and daughter fell silent.

When they looked at each other, there was a hint of disappointment in each other's eyes.

The Queen coughed lightly, frowned, and asked, "Xue'er, where is the book you just mentioned you found in the corridor?"

Mo Yingxue said with an embarrassed look, "My fifth brother took it away."

As she spoke, she clenched her fists in anger and said, "Forget it, I'd rather not marry someone like Fifth Brother. He's a hero, but he's a bit too controlling."

Frowning and thinking carefully, she added: "This is not marrying a husband, it's clearly finding a father for yourself."

Catching a glimpse of the displeasure in the Queen's eyes, she quickly said, "Don't worry, Mother. I behave well outside and will definitely not say anything nonsense."

Hearing her words, the queen became even more worried.

If a child tells you she doesn't want to do something, it means she will most likely do it.

Over the years, the Queen has figured out a truth from this.

If you want to discipline your children, it is better to guide them than to block them.

She glanced at Mo Yingxue and said quietly, "If there's anything you don't feel comfortable saying to your mother in the future, go find your fifth sister-in-law.

That child is smart, likes you, and can help you make decisions."

Mo Yingxue didn't dare admit it, and quickly changed the subject, "Mother, please don't talk about other things.

You haven't answered my question just now."

The Queen's eyes darkened slightly as she said coldly, "Prince Jin's decision to join the army was made in haste. By the time I learned of it, he had already left the palace."

"Are you leaving in such a hurry?" Mo Yingxue felt even more puzzled.

She frowned and muttered to herself, "Isn't it said that Father loves Fifth Brother the most? How could he not even prepare a farewell banquet?"

The more Mo Yingxue thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She stared at the Queen with a burning gaze and asked quietly, "Mother, do you really know nothing?"

Before the Queen could speak, she added, "You said you would never lie to your daughter."

The Queen's expression darkened, and she sighed softly, "I do know a little about this matter."
