This woman is so stupid that it makes me want to cry!
Su Bei suppressed his unhappiness and said as calmly as possible: "Princess, do you think the prince can drink the wine I sent today? If we drug him now, the chance of success is almost zero. If we fail, he may never come to the Peony Pavilion again. Please think twice!"
How could Mrs. Mo not have thought about it? She was so anxious precisely because she had thought it over carefully.
She had clearly gotten the upper hand over that idiot last night. What if she was pregnant? She certainly couldn't ask for abortion pills blatantly. So she could only consummate her marriage with Chu Younan at this time to ensure that the birth date of the child was the closest! But she couldn't let Su Bei know about this! After thinking about it again and again, Mrs. Mo changed her words and said, "You have one month to do it!"
Should it be possible to conceal it for a month?
Su Bei also thought about it, and said carefully: "Princess, no matter how you and the prince were in the past, you should know how he has treated you since you got married. In this case, have you ever considered leaving him?"
I've never thought about it! Madam Mo frowned and said in a deep voice, "I am now a noble princess. If I divorce, I can only marry a low-class family. This is impossible!"
Su Bei lowered his head and curled his lips secretly, thinking that it was all his own fault. This marriage was doomed to fail. It was impossible for it to be happy.
Is an identity really that important? Her former team leader was certainly very glorious. Didn't they still go to kill zombies together? Didn't his wife die after being bitten? Didn't she, an unknown team member, still live for more than ten years? Relying on men is not as good as relying on yourself.
But Su Bei couldn't say this anymore. After all, the original owner's memory told her that women in this era were all accessories, and their status was determined by the status of the person they married. The original owner once regarded being a concubine of the prince as the highest pursuit in life! She wanted to remind Mrs. Mo to apologize to the prince, after all, she had drugged him and burned his house.
But before he could finish his words, he heard Ah Dong reporting from outside: "Princess, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Personnel, Yu Zihe, sent someone to deliver a letter!"
Mrs. Mo, who had not had a good reunion with her sisters for a long time, was naturally very happy. She quickly asked her to send in the invitation. When she opened it, she found that it was an invitation to her to have a small gathering at the newly opened Zuiyue Tower in the city the next day.
"I went and reported back. They said I would definitely be there tomorrow!" Mrs. Mo responded happily.
Su Bei thought to herself: How heartless! She naturally didn't know that Mo was now the princess, so she had to go out and flaunt this title. Among all the concubines she had met, she was the one who married the best!
So, she was busy asking Su Bei to find all the good things he had hidden in the bottom of the box, just waiting to shine at the party tomorrow! On this side, Mrs. Mo was busy picking clothes, and on the other side, the housekeeper was gathering the servants to investigate the cause of the fire last night. It is said that the servants in the palace have received fire prevention training, and all the objects and furnishings are within a safe range, so a fire should not have happened!
At noon the next day, Mrs. Mo wore a bright red gilded horse-faced skirt and a ruby hairpin, and left the house in a graceful manner.
Although Chu Younan did not come to dinner last night, at least she was not kept under house arrest. Mrs. Mo thought that the prince still had feelings for her, so she showed some mercy in the end.
Zuiyuelou is a newly opened restaurant in the city. I heard that the food is good and the environment is quiet. The backyard has pleasant scenery and it is a good place for not only dining but also for entertainment.
Yu Zihe only invited six people today, all of whom were illegitimate daughters from various families. After all, there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate daughters, and legitimate daughters disdain to mix with these illegitimate daughters.
There is only one who is a little different from them. Although Xue Jinrong is also a concubine's daughter, the Xue family is prosperous with male descendants, and she is the only girl born in this generation. Therefore, although she is also a concubine's daughter, Xue Jinrong is very pampered at home.
When they got together, they naturally flattered and showed off to each other, but because Mrs. Mo married the prince, General Mo added a lot of good things to her dowry, so Mrs. Mo had the upper hand in terms of dressing.
"Princess Su is so bright and beautiful. Look at this hairpin, it shines brightly in the sun!" Yu Zihe missed no opportunity to praise.
"Yes, Princess Su is the most eye-catching one in this courtyard! Look, people on the other side of the lake are craning their necks to look at her!" The concubine's daughter of the tutor in the Hanlin Academy also followed suit to flatter.
People on the other side of the lake naturally couldn't see it. Su Bei stood behind and laughed secretly, observing the ladies at the same time.
Among the six people, two were flattering, the other two were agreeing, and the remaining one was smiling but not saying anything. She was Xue Jinrong, the granddaughter of Doctor Xue.
She was very low-key, her clothes were rather simple, and she didn't wear any expensive pearls, which made her look quite pleasing to the eye.
A few people were flattering each other in the pavilion when they heard a high-pitched female voice, "It's rare to meet a sister here!"
Mo turned around and saw Princess Mu approaching, surrounded by daughters of various families, who were dressed up a bit better than Mo's friends. She was unhappy, but she still had to go forward and greet them.
Normally, a legitimate daughter would not bother to compete with a concubine's daughter, but Mo Qingying's mother was the most popular in the general's mansion. Before Princess Mu got married, she had fought with the Mo family many times, so now that she had the chance, she naturally would not let it go.
Princess Mu glanced at Madam Mo's belly calmly, and then said, "I heard that Prince Su favors my sister. It's been more than two months since the wedding, and my sister is probably pregnant with the young prince!"
Why are you bringing up such a topic? Mrs. Mo was so angry that she was about to explode, but she had to put on a smile and said, "Not yet. It depends on fate."
"Then I will give birth to a baby boy before my sister!" Princess Mu smiled triumphantly, stroking her belly with her hand, "It's been more than a month!"
Mrs. Mo gnashed her teeth and said, "Congratulations, sister! There are many female relatives in Prince Mu's Mansion, sister, you have to pay more attention to them!"
Princess Mu smiled at the others, and then her eyes fell on Su Bei, "I heard that Prince Su is not that devoted, and my sister is not as favored as we imagined. But that little maid is very much loved by the prince!"
Su Bei, who was watching the show quietly in the back, was suddenly affected. She was busy cheering up. Why did Princess Mu and Madam Mo have to get involved in the quarrel? Madam Mo was already taboo about this matter. After hearing what she said, she felt very uncomfortable. She had to insist and said, "I always have inconveniences and have to ask someone to serve the prince. Isn't it the same for my sister? Have you been getting along well with the two concubines, four concubines, and six maids recently?"
Princess Mu was touched in the sore spot, so she taunted him openly, "I heard that my sister hasn't consummated her marriage with Prince Su yet. Could it be that Prince Su has a hidden illness?!"
Mrs. Mo wanted to stab her mouth with a knife, but she had to put on a smile, "Sister, I'm afraid you heard it wrong. Prince Su is strong and healthy. We are very loving!"
Su Bei sighed: Idiot! If I bring this up, people will definitely look down on me!
As expected, a woman beside Princess Mu sneered and said, "A concubine is a concubine. She has nothing but a pretty face and can only serve men with her beauty. She is not presentable at all!"
Mrs. Mo's hands were already shaking. Su Bei smacked his lips secretly, thinking that if he let this guy lose, he would probably go back and smash plates and bowls, causing chaos!
So she took a step forward and whispered a few words into Mo's ear.
