Chapter 129: Keep your heart and your roots
"Princess... is she the legitimate wife of the Prince of Qi?"
Mo Rushan didn't even respond to the order. He just knelt there and asked directly.
I was afraid that I had read it wrong, or that I had heard it wrong.
The eunuch found it funny: "The emperor has appointed Miss Mo Yi as the principal wife of the King of Qi. Lord Mo, why don't you accept the order?"
I don’t know if it was because of the surprise or because he was too frightened, but Mo Rushan was just as Mo Yi had guessed, and he had palpitations...
His face turned pale, his heart was pounding, and he was sweating coldly.
Mo Ruhai secretly wondered, could it be that his words that day moved the prince?
"Uncle... accept the order." Moda suppressed his excitement and reminded in a low voice.
Everyone had different thoughts, and Mo Rushan led them: "...I, Mo Rushan, lead the entire Mo family to accept the decree and express our gratitude!"
When he kowtowed again, Mo Ruhai grinned and laughed silently, "Oh my God! My Lord, this great hero is going to be my son-in-law..."
This, this is embarrassing...
When he looked up again, his face was like red cloth.
Wang, who should have been the happiest, began to tremble before she even stood up. She couldn't describe her feelings, her eyes were blurry and she wanted to faint.
Why?
how so?
He was helped up by Mo Wen behind him.
Mo Rushan stroked his chest to relax, and quickly called the eunuch: "Please take a seat, sir."
The eunuch smiled and refused, saying that he had to go back and report. He accepted the large reward and left.
Wang didn't even bother to say anything and hurriedly pulled Mo Wen out of the house.
It’s fatal!
I met Mrs. Wang outside and asked, "Is Wang Qing back?"
Seeing that Mrs. Wang shook her head, she hurried back to the house. Her legs felt weak and she sat down. "Princess...how could this happen? This is troublesome..."
Mo Wen was calmer than her, "Mother, please write another letter!" She took the initiative to sit at the table and wrote a short letter to tell her aunt the news that the emperor had granted the marriage.
"Wenwen, nothing's going to happen, right?"
Wang's tears were streaming down her face. She was really scared. If something happened again now, she might lose her head.
"Mother, don't worry. Although that's what we wrote in the letter, even if Auntie has an idea, she will definitely write to you first to ask for your consent. It's impossible to make a decision without going through all the procedures. Nothing will go wrong."
Her daughter's attitude made Wang feel a little relieved.
"Oh. Yes, you are right. I was panicking... Tell me, how could this girl have such a fate! The queen... I dare not even dream of it... Wenwen, what do you think is going on?"
Mo Wen shook his head: "I don't know the details. But there must be something we don't know. It's definitely not as simple as good things falling from the sky."
"So what should we do?"
"Now, what else can we do? Send this letter away. You also have to write to your grandfather and aunt. I'm sure they are also quite surprised. And... the Xu family..." Mo Wen slowly immersed himself.
Thinking back to the day when the Wang family had a scene at the Mo family...
No wonder this father and daughter treated me like this recently, it turns out they have climbed up the social ladder!
It was because of me that she went to Dajue Temple and met the King of Qi. But she only told her father! They must have known about the arranged marriage a long time ago, right? But they tried to distance themselves from me... What an ungrateful person.
She thought about her parents knowing the news and coming to the Mo family to curry favor, which would be a slap in the face. She also thought about her least favorite daughter who was the most successful.
I still have to put on a smile, and I feel really bad!
"Wenwen, how great it would be if you encountered something like this?" Wang murmured.
Mo Wen lowered his eyes, hiding his complicated emotions.
The Mohist men gathered together, and no one knew what they were talking about. Sometimes they were choking and sometimes they were laughing.
Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow at Liu and suppressed the urge to laugh. Not to mention Mo Yi, even I have stepped on this step. But how high can I go?
She slowly approached Mo Yi, who was still in a daze, and poked her: "What are you doing? Aunt Zhao is still here, go over and thank her!"
Pushing Mo Yi to the side of Aunt Zhao, Mo Yi called softly: "Auntie..."
"Congratulations, young lady! My prince is of noble birth, intelligent and wise. He has made many military achievements for the court and the emperor. He is a man who has no regrets in everything he does. He is a true hero. Young lady is blessed!"
Nanny Zhao's words were heartfelt and her respect was obvious.
"When I first met the prince, I felt that he was as majestic as a god. The emperor has granted this marriage to me, and it is indeed a great blessing for the Mo family. I am just afraid that... Mo Yi is not worthy of the prince."
"The imperial decree has been issued. Miss, there is no need to think too much about it. You have to look forward."
Looking at the warm Zhao Ma, Mo Yi thought: Looking forward? The emperor, the palace, the prince, the people and wealth of the great palace, concubines, illegitimate children, social activities, I don't know anything about it!
And…the problem that every girl faces…dowry.
Her own dowry... Even if the Mo family married her with the highest standards, even if her mother changed her mind and gave her more dowry, plus what she and her father earned... With these, it would still be reasonable for her to marry into a family of equal status.
In the palace, I'm afraid even the reward is not enough.
How can we live then?
"Mammy, where is the prince?" She was anxious to find that person and ask.
"The prince knows about the decree granting the marriage. He is preparing for it these past two days as he will be going out on official business."
"I really have no idea..."
Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "I understand. I will go back and ask if the prince is free. However, you don't have to be too nervous. The prince has left everything to me. If you have any ideas, you can tell me directly."
"Okay..." Mo Yi was helpless. Everything else was fine, but what about the dowry?
"Next, we still have classes to attend. Although we call it classes, in fact, Nanny will assist you to gradually become a qualified princess. From now on, until you marry into the palace, or even become a princess, Nanny will be by your side. So, there is no need to panic, we will do it one step at a time."
"If that's the case, Mo Yi will be really at ease."
"Now it's just a marriage. Next, there's a long process to go through with the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial Clan Bureau, and the Imperial Household Department. You don't have to do it yourself, but after going through this process, you'll understand a lot of things."
"Are we still going to have classes in the same format as before?"
"I will not live in the Mo family anymore. You can come to my house. I will arrange a carriage to pick you up every day."
"When does it begin?"
"Please sort out your family affairs first. Such a big event will probably take a while. Can the prince see you before he leaves... Wait for the news."
When Nanny Zhao was about to leave, Mo Rushan brought the men from the Mo family and thanked her solemnly.
"It's all thanks to Madam Zhao's teaching of Mo Yi. She performed well in the palace and was recognized by the nobles, which led to this marriage. Thank you very much! Everyone in the Mo family will always remember Madam's kindness!"
"Mr. Mo, you are too polite! There are many reasons why this can be accomplished. One of them is that although the Mo family is small, the family tradition is pure and they act in accordance with the rules. With the marriage to Prince Qi's Mansion, the Mo family will surely prosper. Your future will also be much smoother. I hope... the Mo family can still keep their hearts and minds and don't make any mistakes."
She decided to give a few suggestions.
I heard that Mo Rushan got a promotion, so I'm afraid good things will continue to happen in the future.
The Mohist school has been mediocre for a long time, but now it is suddenly popular. Don't get carried away and do something stupid.
"Yes, yes, thank you for your advice, Madam Mo!"
After Aunt Zhao left, Mo Yuan said, "Yi Yi, go to Aunt Zhao's place for lessons. When it's convenient, take me with you!"
I promised her, Mo Yi nodded and said, "I'll tell Mammy later. I think there will be a chance."
Ignoring the men of the Mo family who were talking about irrelevant topics, Mo Yi went straight back to her room.
My mind is in a mess, I go to bed, pull the quilt over me and go to sleep!
Just after lying down, I got up again. Oh no! Just now Aunt Zhao said that I have to go to class every day?
What about my business then?
I just rented a counter and a yard, and I’m ready to get started!
"Oh no, what should I do about this?" He thought for a long time, blinking his eyes.
Suddenly, Liang You's figure jumped out...
He also knows...
When Mo Yi thought of this person, tears started to flow down his cheeks...
