Chapter 454 Jun Moxu's Appointment
Things have come to this point. If she refuses again, it will only anger the Queen even more. Defei stretched out her hand.
"Then I would like to thank Her Majesty the Queen for her gift."
As the pink bracelet was put on, which was incompatible with the purple palace skirt that Concubine De was wearing today, the Queen continued to have a gentle smile on her face.
"Look, this is so beautiful! I thought pink suits you. I have to go see the emperor later, so Concubine De, please go back first."
Upon hearing this, Concubine De stood up and bowed politely.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
As soon as he returned to Gyeongbokgung Palace, he entered his bedroom.
Defei hurriedly took off the bracelet and threw it on the table, and a hint of anger appeared on her originally gentle face.
Seeing this, Nanny He hurriedly checked whether the bracelet was broken.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's just a bracelet. Your Majesty, please don't get yourself sick from anger. It's not worth it."
Upon hearing this, Concubine De spoke in a cold voice.
"Over the years, the Queen's methods of disgusting people remain the same. I heard that the Crown Prince hasn't attended court for several days."
Nanny He breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the bracelet was not damaged at all.
"Yes, it seems that I have caught a cold, Your Majesty. I know you certainly don't like this bracelet, but no matter how much you dislike it, since the Empress has given it to me, you must wear it when you pay your respects tomorrow."
Concubine De glanced at the bracelet on Nanny He's hand.
"The Queen suddenly gave him a bracelet like this. It seems that the Crown Prince has not attended court for a few days, and she is worried. This is to remind me and the Second Prince to pay attention to our status."
Then he reached out and took the bracelet from Nanny He's hand and put it on his own hand.
"Forget it, just wear it. The Second Prince should come to pay his respects to me later."
Sure enough, Defei had just finished speaking.
Then a voice was heard.
"Your Majesty is right. I am here to pay my respects to you, Majesty."
The second prince walked in with a smile on his face.
When Concubine De saw this, she did not smile as she did when she saw the Second Prince in the past.
"Ayong is here. I was delayed in the Queen's palace today. You've only just come here now. Did your father also give you an errand?"
Jun Moyong spoke upon hearing this.
"I told my father that I went to the Bai residence. Is my mother unhappy today? Who made her unhappy?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine De lifted her sleeves.
"Yes, this bracelet was given to me by the Queen as a reward when I was paying my respects today. She also asked Nanny Su to put it on me right there."
Jun Moyong glanced at the bracelet on Concubine De's hand, an inappropriate pink bracelet, and naturally understood what the Queen meant by knocking. Jun Moyong bowed to Concubine De.
"It is my son who is useless and makes mother feel uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Defei glanced at him and spoke.
"The Queen always does things like this from time to time. What does this have to do with you? I don't understand the affairs of the previous dynasty, and it's not my place to consult. Just do your best to complete the tasks your father has assigned you. You don't need to worry about me. I told you about the bracelet just to let you know what the Queen has done, not to ask you to apologize to me or worry about me."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyong looked at Concubine De and spoke to Nanny He.
"Madam He, please go out and watch outside. This prince and mother have a few words."
Upon hearing this, Nanny He bowed and retreated hurriedly.
Seeing this, Defei spoke.
"Why are you so cautious, Ayong, what's the important matter?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyong looked at Concubine De and spoke.
"Mother, for all these years, no matter how respectful you were to the Queen, or how humble I was in front of the Crown Prince, the Queen and the Crown Prince always looked down upon us. There are some things we can't just ignore.
Even if I really have no intention, the Crown Prince and the Queen still won't believe it. If that's the case, why must the Crown Prince be the one to take that position? I think I'm no worse than anyone else. Your Majesty now values Bai Se City. I'll do my best to persuade Jun Moye. If Bai Se City is included in Tian Yuan's territory because of me, your Majesty will definitely value me. In the future, you have to be more careful with the Queen."
Upon hearing this, Concubine De pondered for a moment.
"Forget it. Some things are beyond your control when you're in the royal family. Do whatever you want. You don't need to worry about me. I've been with the Queen for so many years, and we understand each other's personalities and methods. She can only disgust me, but she can't do anything else to me."
In the following days, the Bai Mansion became lively, just like the deserted two days before. Many ladies from the imperial city came to visit Su Hanchu, and some adults also visited Jun Moye. Su Hanchu and Jun Moye met with all those who received visiting invitations.
The two of them met most of the high-ranking officials and princes in the imperial city, including Qian Zexi. They welcomed everyone who came and treated them to delicious food and drinks, and had a great time chatting with them.
Among them, the second prince took advantage of the fact that he was the one who received the envoys from various countries and had frequent contacts with Jun Moye.
After Jun Moxu had been recuperating for more than ten days, the swelling on his face finally subsided, and he regained his handsome appearance. When he learned that Jun Moyong and Jun Moye had ordinary interactions, and even Jun Moshu often entered the Bai residence, and that he had not attended court for nearly ten days, Emperor Tianyuan was quite disappointed with him. Jun Moxu finally made an appointment with Su Hanchu to meet at Qiongxiang Tower in the name of Qianyan.
Su Hanchu brought Caixing to the private room according to the waiter's instructions. When he saw Jun Moxu, he realized that the person who had asked him out was not Qian Yan at all.
When Su Han first saw this, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"It's Crown Prince Tianyuan? Why isn't the Crown Princess here?"
Today, Su Hanchu was dressed in a vibrant red gown, delicately embroidered with a lifelike golden phoenix, seemingly ready to take flight. She clutched a purple feather fan, and with a gentle wave, a gentle breeze seemed to waft by, carrying a delicate fragrance.
The red dress and the purple feather fan complement each other, highlighting her graceful figure and elegant temperament, making her as stunning as a fairy descending to earth.
There was a glimmer of surprise in Jun Moxu's eyes, and his gaze was inevitably a bit aggressive.
"Today I specially arranged to meet City Lord Su to reminisce about the past. I'm sorry for being so intrusive."
Su Hanchu sneered when he heard this.
"So the Crown Prince of Tianyuan also finds it presumptuous?"
Jun Moxu looked at the endless smile in her eyes. Haha, this woman has become more interesting than before, and her status is much higher now.
"Lord Su, there's no need to be angry. Perhaps we can chat first. Lord Su will also be interested in what I say. What's more, you are now the Lord of Baise City, and I am the Crown Prince of Tianyuan. Baise City and Tianyuan have to be on good terms. Otherwise, Baise City has never participated in banquets of various countries for many years. Since Lord Su is here, he must be intending to raise Baise City's status in the hearts of the people. Do you think I am right, Lord Su?"
