Chapter 521 Mo Jinchuan, will you marry me?
As soon as Emperor Xuande finished speaking, the expressions of several people changed to varying degrees.
Mo Yingxue reacted the most, blurting out, "Father, you are the ruler of a country, how can you go back on your word!"
Emperor Xuande asked, "Have I ever promised anything?"
He just said that he would help the two of them, but he didn't mention anything in particular.
So naturally, it cannot be considered as going back on one's word.
"Father, you..." Mo Yingxue widened her eyes, wanting to curse but not daring to.
She turned to look at Mo Jinchuan, clenched her fist and said, "Fifth brother, why don't you take your fifth sister-in-law and elope!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Emperor Xuande slapped her on the back of the head and said, "You are rude."
Mo Yingxue covered her head and cried, "Father, I'm going to be a marriageable girl soon."
Emperor Xuande snorted coldly, "Forget about your coming of age. Even if you get married and have children in the future, I will still beat you."
Mo Yingxue's pretty face flushed with anger. She quickly ran behind Song Yanxi, tugged at her sleeve, and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, father is too unreasonable."
Song Yanxi: “…”
How could she, an outsider, say anything about what happened between father and daughter?
As if guessing what she was thinking, Emperor Xuande said, "Don't pay any attention to this girl. The Queen and I have spoiled her."
As he spoke, he sighed and said, "With her current temper, it's still unclear whether she can get married in the future."
Looking at Mo Yingxue, whose face was downcast and eyes were full of grievance, Song Yanxi couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, I think Princess Roujia is naturally romantic, which is a good thing in this deep palace."
After she finished speaking, she realized that she had spoken out of turn. She bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have spoken nonsense. I beg you to punish me."
Emperor Xuande looked at her with a serious look in his eyes.
After a while, he said, "I am not a tyrant king who can punish this crime or that crime."
He glared at Mo Jinchuan and said meaningfully, "You are a lucky boy."
Seeing that he wasn't angry, Mo Yingxue quickly took advantage of the situation and asked, "Did the Emperor agree to give Sister-in-law Wu the position of legal wife?"
Emperor Xuande frowned in displeasure, "Who taught you to be so unruly?"
Mo Yingxue didn't get angry at being scolded. Instead, she smiled broadly and said, "With my father and mother here, even if I don't know the rules, I won't dare say a word of dissent."
To be honest, her words were indeed arrogant and presumptuous.
But Song Yanxi didn't see any arrogance on her face.
What she did have was just the naiveté and a little pride of a daughter when she acted coquettishly to her loving father.
She didn't even need to say anything, as one could tell from the look in her brows how important she was to her parents.
Mo Yingxue is undoubtedly the favored one.
She herself was clearly aware of this, which is why she dared to speak without restraint in front of Emperor Xuande, and it could even be said that she was presumptuous.
Because she knew that Emperor Xuande was reluctant to punish her, and even if he was furious he would only scold her for being unruly.
Song Yanxi had only experienced this kind of unconditional preference with Yan Qing.
As for Song Huai'en...
Never had it, and never expected it.
Song Yanxi lowered her eyes, suppressing the surging thoughts in her eyes, and her cold fingertips suddenly touched a little warmth.
Then, her hand was wrapped in a warm and broad palm.
This is in front of the emperor!
He is so presumptuous, isn't he afraid of being impeached by the Censorate tomorrow?
Fortunately, she was standing behind him, and their wide robes overlapped, so it was impossible to tell them apart without looking carefully.
As Song Yanxi was thinking this, she noticed a burning gaze staring at her.
She raised her eyes and looked over, meeting Mo Yingxue's eyes full of cunning smile.
She clearly noticed it and was watching it with great interest.
Seeing her looking at her, Mo Yingxue smiled even more happily, revealing two playful fangs.
When she thought that this was her future sister-in-law, Song Yanxi felt a burning sensation on her face and moved to try to pull her hand out.
But Mo Jinchuan held it even tighter, and the heat from his palm seemed to burn the skin on the back of her hand.
Fortunately, Emperor Xuande did not let her suffer for too long. He left with a sentence, "Get out of the palace quickly. I won't be bothered by you if you don't see me," and then left.
As soon as he left, Mo Yingxue quickly let go of Song Yanxi's sleeve and stood still obediently.
That docile look made people even doubt whether everything that just happened was an illusion.
Apart from this face, their actions before and after were completely like two different people.
Looking at his sister who was pretending to be well behaved, Mo Jinchuan said coldly: "Yingxue, go back to Fengyi Palace to accompany your mother first.
When I have time another day, I will bring your fifth sister-in-law to the palace to pay her respects."
Mo Yingxue said "Oh" and turned away without even trying to struggle.
It's not that she doesn't want to, but she knows that resistance will be punished severely.
If she was obedient, she would just go back to the palace to drink tea with her mother, listen to some music, and watch the concubines pulling each other's hair.
But if she doesn't obey, her hands will be in great pain.
Looking at her back as she walked away quickly, even lifting her skirt and jogging, Song Yanxi became more and more curious.
What did the prince do before to scare the little girl like this?
Meeting her puzzled eyes, Mo Jinchuan said, "Don't worry, I don't eat people."
Song Yanxi pulled her hand away in silent protest.
I don’t know what this man grew up eating. He is dressed so thinly, but his hands are as hot as a stove.
But after a while, her palms began to sweat and feel sticky.
This feeling is not unpleasant, but it is a bit strange.
Mo Jinchuan loosened his grip and explained softly, "If I don't let the emperor see that you and I are in love, he will definitely not agree to the marriage."
Song Yanxi followed him out and said in a low voice, "Your Highness shouldn't be so disobedient to His Majesty."
Today, Princess Roujia mediated and gave both the father and son a way out. Otherwise, no one knows how things would have developed.
The relationship between the emperor and his subjects comes first, and then between father and son. Even if His Majesty loves him very much, he will probably not allow him to challenge his authority as the king of a country.
The previous person who relied on his favor and acted recklessly has now become a taboo that Da'an cannot mention.
Mo Jinchuan paused and said in a deep voice: "My father wants you to be my concubine."
Song Yanxi was not surprised. She sighed softly and said, "I am a concubine, but I am marrying you as a person, not as the Princess of Jin."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person walking in front suddenly stopped.
She couldn't dodge in time and was hit hard.
Practice makes perfect. This time she quickly covered her nose with both hands to avoid the same tragedy as last time.
After Song Yanxi stood firm, she looked at Mo Jinchuan, who had his back to her, and tentatively called out, "Prince?"
It couldn't be that he was angry because of the bump she just gave him.
If anyone should be angry, it should be the one who was almost injured.
The man had his back to her and said in a deep voice, "Could you please repeat what you just said?"
Hearing the caution in Mo Jinchuan's tone, Song Yanxi walked forward, took his hand, and spoke every word with extreme seriousness.
She said, "I am attracted to you. No matter who you are, I am willing to marry you."
Looking at the slightly red corners of his eyes, she raised the corners of her lips, "Mo Jinchuan, will you marry me?"
