Chapter 566: She is the one I want to marry
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the box was pushed open.
Mo Jinchuan first looked at Song Yanxi, and seeing that she was not angry, he looked at Xu Ruyue and said with cold eyes: "I didn't know that the Prince Jin's Mansion is a place where anyone can enter."
Xu Ruyue stood up suddenly, her face pale as she said, "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. I was just anxious and said the wrong thing."
Mo Jinchuan: "A moment of urgency?"
Xu Ruyue nodded hurriedly and looked at Song Yanxi for help, "Please, Princess, please be fair and don't let the prince misunderstand me."
Song Yanxi laughed and asked, "Miss Xu, do you really want me to tell you?"
Looking at her smile, Xu Ruyue's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately changed her words, "I have admired Your Highness since I was a child, and I once vowed before the Buddha that I would not marry anyone other than Your Highness.
The reason I did this ridiculous thing today is because of my admiration for you. I hope Your Highness will see my sincerity and give me a place to stay."
Fearing that Mo Jinchuan would refuse, she added, "This servant does not seek a title. As long as I can serve the prince, even if I am a humble concubine, I am willing!"
As soon as the word "humble concubine" came out, Mo Jinchuan's face suddenly became even gloomier.
He asked in a cold voice, "Is this how Minister Xu usually teaches Miss Xu?"
Xu Ruyue's face turned pale, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Father is usually very busy with government affairs, and occasionally he squeezes out some free time to tutor my eldest brother, second brother, and several younger brothers in their studies.
How could she even remember the existence of a daughter like me?"
If anyone else said this, Song Yanxi would not believe a word of it.
After all, as the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, Xu Ruyue is not as valued as boys, but she is not worse off.
But she had seen with her own eyes how Mrs. Xu treated her daughter.
Even she, as a mother, did not like the daughter born from her belly, let alone others.
Xu Ruyue lowered her eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks. Her pitiful appearance made people feel pity for her.
This look is most likely to arouse a man's desire to protect.
Even though Song Yanxi was a woman, it was hard to bear to say anything unpleasant when seeing her tearful face.
But the next moment, she heard Mo Jinchuan ask: "So, what does this have to do with me?"
Song Yanxi was stunned. Why was this person so stubborn?
Xu Ruyue was even more dumbfounded.
In the past, whenever she shed tears at home, her father and brother would soften their hearts and she would get the benefits she wanted.
Knowing that the flower-viewing banquet at the Princess's residence today was called a flower-viewing banquet, but was actually a birthday banquet for the young lady of Prince Jin's residence, she had been practicing in front of the mirror every day for the past few days, thinking about how to cry beautifully and evoke pity.
Before she went out today, she asked her eldest brother to try it, and the effect was very good.
As a man, there is no reason for the prince not to be soft-hearted.
Xu Ruyue covered her eyes with her sleeves and pinched herself hard. Tears immediately fell like beads from a broken string.
Before she could even open her mouth, she was already choking with sobs and unable to speak.
Mo Jinchuan looked at Song Yanxi with a cold face and said, "The children are still waiting at home. Miss Xu likes to cry, so let her stay here and cry slowly."
After saying that, Xu Ruyue hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty!"
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said in a tearful voice, "I know that the prince has always been chaste and does not want to take a concubine before marrying a wife. I can wait."
Mo Jinchuan: "Miss Xu, there is no need to be like this. This prince has no interest in you."
Xu Ruyue felt a lump in her heart and her tears fell even harder.
Afraid that her tears would upset Mo Jinchuan, she hurriedly wiped them away and forced a smile, saying, "If Your Highness doesn't mind, I am willing to enter Prince Jin's mansion and serve His Highness."
Mo Jinchuan: "I don't want to."
After being rejected again, Xu Ruyue's face turned pale.
She asked in a trembling voice, "Why?"
Mo Jinchuan didn't even bother to explain. He just strode forward, took Song Yanxi's hand and said, "If you don't come back, Jiaojiao will cry."
Thinking of the little girl's eyes, Song Yanxi couldn't sit still anymore.
She stood up with the help of Mo Jinchuan, looked at Xu Ruyue whose eyes were blurred with tears, frowned and said, "Miss Xu is a smart person. If she knows there is no hope, she shouldn't continue down this path."
Xu Ruyue smiled sadly, staring intently at Song Yanxi, "Are you so sure that the prince has only had you in his heart from beginning to end?"
Her smile became more sarcastic, and she murmured, "That's what my father said when he asked to marry my mother."
Thinking of something, Xu Ruyue asked quietly, "Princess, if I remember correctly, your father said the same thing when he married your mother, right?"
"There are countless noble ladies in the capital, and those who are both talented and beautiful are even more rare. What makes you think you are different?"
Mo Jinchuan couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted her, saying coldly, "Because she is someone I'm not good enough to marry."
"What did you say?" Xu Ruyue was suddenly stunned.
She immediately denied it, "No, that's absolutely impossible. What kind of person is the prince? The fact that she can marry him is a blessing from her past life!"
After she finished speaking, Xu Ruyue's eyes suddenly became sharp.
She stood up suddenly and overturned the table in front of her.
The moment before she moved, Mo Jinchuan moved even faster, put one hand around Song Yanxi's waist and took a few steps back with her.
The moment the table fell to the ground, Xu Ruyue was also thrown to the ground by the force, looking very embarrassed.
She stared intently at Mo Jinchuan, who had immediately protected Song Yanxi, and asked with resentment, "Why? How am I inferior to her?"
Mo Jinchuan had already started walking out, but upon hearing this, he stopped and asked in a cold tone, "You are so different from her, how can you compare?"

In the carriage, Mo Jinchuan held Song Yanxi's slightly cold hand and asked softly, "Do you think what I said just now was too harsh?"
Song Yanxi nodded, then shook her head.
She sighed softly and said, "Your Highness is right. He is cruel to leave Miss Xu with hope even though he knows it is not a good thing."
Instead of letting her have hope and live in torment every day, it is better to break this window paper.
Give her some time and she'll figure it out.
Mo Jinchuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Fortunately, she was not scared.
Otherwise, even if Miss Xu died a thousand times, it would not relieve the hatred in his heart.
Although Song Yanxi was not angry, Mo Jinchuan felt that he needed to explain some things.
He pondered for a moment and then said, "I didn't mean to slander her. She was too persistent and even tried to drive a wedge between you and me. She deserves death.
If she weren't a woman, I would have to give her a good beating today to vent my anger."
Amused by his angry look, Song Yanxi asked, "Other people would love to have as many women as possible admiring them, but why is it that for the prince, it becomes a problem?"
Mo Jinchuan's eyes suddenly became strange.
He touched his nose and said awkwardly, "There are many women who admire me. If all of them were like her, I'm afraid the Jin Palace wouldn't be able to let her go."
If he hadn't been serious and didn't have any pride in his words, Song Yanxi would have rolled her eyes when she heard him say that.
But if you think about it carefully, even if he is proud, that is understandable.
Emperor Xuande had many sons, but his biological mother was not prominent, yet he was fortunate to be raised by his side. He was smart and wise since childhood, and showed amazing talent at a young age.
When others were still studying, he resolutely went to the border town and made great military achievements in a few years, which made the Liang army terrified.
Which one is not worthy of pride?
Thinking of something, Song Yanxi smiled and asked, "There are many women who admire His Majesty, why did His Majesty choose me?"
