Chapter 547 I Might as Well Have You Married Her
A woman wearing a goose yellow dress and with a gentle face stood up below.
She bowed towards Princess Huayang and said respectfully, "Your humble servant Bai Yuewei greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Huayang nodded and said with a smile, "Come here and sit closer. I haven't seen you and your mother in many years."
Bai Yuewei stepped forward as instructed, lowering her eyes as she replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My mother is doing well lately."
"That's good." Princess Huayang sighed, "I still remember that your mother loved yellow shirts when she was young. I'm sure she picked this dress for you today. It suits the scene very well.
It really deserves the saying, "People are more beautiful than flowers."
Hearing her say this, the other young ladies in the hall also started to echo her, feeling half envious and half sad.
What makes people envious is that Princess Huayang is obviously interested in Bai Yuewei and wants her to be the princess consort of His Royal Highness Prince Jin.
The worry is that now everyone in the capital knows that Prince Jin is in love with Princess Yong'an and has vowed to marry only her in this life.
There are also rumors in the capital that His Majesty intends to arrange a marriage for the two of them.
She was originally a princess appointed by His Majesty himself, and she had made great military achievements in the border town. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for her to be wronged by being a concubine.
Not to mention, Princess Yong'an's grandfather was the once-famous General Yan, a ruthless man who could become the richest man in Da'an even if he gave up his military career and went into business.
Everyone knows that Mr. Yan treats his only granddaughter like the apple of his eye. How could he be willing to let her be his concubine?
Even if Princess Yong'an is willing to swallow this loss and become a concubine for His Royal Highness Prince Jin.
But she is favored, has status and power, and has the support of the Yan family. I'm afraid that her life as the queen in the future will depend on her mood?
It's just a pity for the daughter of Minister Bai's family...
Everyone was sighing with emotion when they heard Princess Huayang publicly ask Bai Yuewei if she was married.
In fact, before today, the marriage status of all the daughters present had already been made into a book and sent to her.
This question was just to make it easier for her to direct the conversation to Mo Jinchuan.
Bai Yuewei smiled shyly and lowered her head, saying, "Your Highness, I am already married."
"Oh? Whose family is this boy? I have never heard of him." Princess Huayang's smile faded slightly.
Bai Yuewei said respectfully, "He's one of my father's students. He's already had our horoscopes compared. We're just waiting for him to pass the exam this year so we can start planning our marriage."
It would be fine if it was just intentional, but they had already matched their horoscopes and there was no possibility of changing it.
Even if Princess Huayang wanted to intervene, it was too late.
She smiled and said, "In that case, it seems that I am ignorant.
It's a good thing after all, Yunque, go get a pair of jade ruyi, as a gift from me to congratulate Miss Bai's beloved on winning the first prize."
Bai Yuewei thanked her respectfully and returned to her seat.
The atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly became strange.
The only ones who were not affected were the brothers Mo Lingxuan and Mo Jinchuan who were sitting together drinking tea.
Mo Lingxuan played with his teacup, saying idly, "It's not like we're separating the tables for men and women today. Second brother hasn't arrived yet at this hour. I wonder what's holding him up."
When Mo Jinchuan saw his smug smile, he knew it was his work.
The two have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, but they don't get tired of it.
Mo Lingxuan raised an eyebrow, "Xiao Wu, what are you looking at?"
Mo Jinchuan ignored him and drank his tea.
Unexpectedly, Mo Lingxuan changed the subject and said, "Xiao Wu, your third sister-in-law has been wanting a daughter for many years. I think your little girl is quite good."
Mo Jinchuan: "Third brother, just give up on this idea."
Mo Lingxuan laughed when he heard it, and said quietly, "Why are you so stingy? It's not your child.
This prince thinks that the one from the Song family is a good fertile one, so when you two get married, you can have more children."
Mo Jinchuan's face turned cold, "If Third Brother likes, he can have more children himself."
Mo Lingxuan's smile widened. He covered his chest and coughed twice, then said meaningfully, "I do have this intention, but it's a pity your sister-in-law doesn't agree."
Glancing at Xie Wanjun, who looked unhappy, Mo Jinchuan said in a deep voice, "I heard that Third Brother just got two beautiful concubines a year ago. He just wants to have two more daughters. It's not difficult."
After he finished speaking, Mo Lingxuan's face suddenly turned cold, "Are they worthy?"
Xie Wanjun stood up suddenly, said "Excuse me", and left quickly.
Mo Lingxuan wanted to chase after him immediately, but Mo Jinchuan grabbed his wrist.
He could easily subdue him without even using any strength.
"Xiao Wu, let go!" Mo Lingxuan shouted coldly.
Noticing everyone's gazes, Mo Jinchuan smiled and reminded, "Third brother, don't upset your aunt."
Although Mo Lingxuan was reluctant in his heart, he could only smile and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Xiao Wu, you are still as protective of your sister Wanjun as always."
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.
Feeling the pain in his wrist as if a bone had broken, Mo Lingxuan gritted his teeth and asked, "Xiao Wu, are you heartbroken?"
Mo Jinchuan's face was cold, "Third brother, you are confused."
Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, wetting his temples. Mo Lingxuan's smile was uglier than crying. "If I had known this would happen, I would have let you marry her."
Mo Jinchuan's face darkened when he heard this.
He reminded him in a cold voice: "Third brother, before you go crazy outside, you'd better consider how Third Sister-in-law will behave in front of others in the future."
If those words were to get out, Xie Wanjun would become the target of public criticism.
The common people didn't care about the hardship behind it, they just said that she was a beauty who brought disaster upon herself, and that she had caused discord between the two brothers and unrest in their family.
Even if the emperor knew the truth and understood that it was not her fault, in order to silence the world's harsh words, he would definitely choose to sacrifice the person who he thought was the least important.
Without a doubt, Xie Wanjun is that person.
Mo Jinchuan didn't think that this was what Mo Lingxuan wanted to see.
If he really had no feelings for Xie Wanjun anymore, he wouldn't have been unable to get over this hurdle for so many years, torturing her while refusing to let himself go.
Why bother?
As if understanding what he was thinking, Mo Lingxuan said with a gloomy face, "Don't worry about our affairs, Third Brother."
Mo Jinchuan released his hand, brushed off his sleeves and said, "Third sister-in-law may be your wife, but she is also my senior sister.
If you treat her badly in the future, I, as her family, will definitely seek justice for her on behalf of the Grand Tutor."
Hearing his threats, Mo Lingxuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Besides complaining to our father, what else can you do?"
Mo Jinchuan: "Father has instructed that if Third Brother is not satisfied with this princess, he can choose a new one for him."
Mo Lingxuan, who had just looked like "What can you do to me?", suddenly changed his expression.
He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Don't even think about it!"
Mo Jinchuan straightened the cup for Zixu and said calmly, "If you don't believe me, just give it a try."
"You!" Mo Lingxuan clenched his fists and was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of a figure hurriedly coming in from the door.
