Chapter 695 You Are My Wife-to-Be
Mo Jinchuan nodded and said, "Concubine Li brought my ninth brother to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects to the Empress today."
Thinking of something, a smile appeared in his eyes, "Jiaojiao likes this little uncle very much and insisted on playing shuttlecock with her."
The Ninth Prince is not even ten months old yet, how can he play shuttlecock with her?
Facing Song Yanxi's puzzled gaze, Mo Jinchuan said helplessly, "That girl put the shuttlecock on her head and insisted that her uncle kick it.
The ninth brother was still young and ignorant, and he burst into tears because of her.
But she turned around and complained to Yingxue, saying that it was Ninth Brother's tears that stained her clothes."
After hearing the little girl's heroic deeds, Song Yanxi didn't know what to say for a moment.
When did this little guy learn to turn the tables?
If the Ninth Prince were old enough to speak, wouldn't the uncle and nephew complain to each other?
Song Yanxi found the scene really interesting just by thinking about it.
But some things are not as simple as children playing around.
After much thought, she told Mo Jinchuan about the conversation they had when she was treating Concubine Li half a year ago.
Regardless of whether he is interested in that position or not, as the most beloved son of His Majesty, he cannot stay out of the matter of the succession.
Not to mention, in the eyes of the people of the world, the military power of the border troops is still in his hands.
As long as he was there, the border troops would recognize him as the person, not the cold tiger talisman.
Therefore, for those princes who want to compete for the position of crown prince, if they cannot win over Mo Jinchuan to serve them, they can only get rid of him as soon as possible.
Obviously, they brothers are more ruthless and chose the latter first.
Unfortunately, An Yi is loyal enough, and Mo Jinchuan is lucky enough.
God played a joke on him, but when his life was at its darkest, God gave him a miracle that allowed him to stand up again.
Their calculations were doomed to fail.
Mo Jinchuan's eyes darkened, and he smiled sarcastically, "I didn't expect that the Right Prime Minister would have such ambitions.
My ninth brother is barely old enough to speak, so it's a bit premature for him to be making such plans."
Song Yanxi said in a cold voice: "If a fight can bring several generations of supreme wealth, the Right Prime Minister may not be unwilling to take a gamble."
If the bet wins, everyone is happy.
If he lost, it would not be difficult for the Right Prime Minister to save his life with his many years of experience in the court.
As for Concubine Li who was caught in the center of the fight.
If what Princess Roujia said was true, if the Right Prime Minister could be so cruel as to send his own young daughter into the palace as a concubine, he must have been prepared to abandon her at any time.
He would even be secretly happy about it, feeling that his second daughter was not born in vain and was finally of some use to the family.
If it weren't for the previous incident with the legitimate daughter, he might have remembered some of the kindness shown by Concubine Li.
And now, they only think that what Concubine Li is doing now is just to atone for the false crime.
Song Yanxi was so angry that she suppressed her anger and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any ideas to make the Right Prime Minister unhappy in the court?"
Mo Jinchuan: "This is not difficult."
As he spoke, he changed the subject and asked, "Xi'er, could you please tell me the reason?"
Song Yanxi couldn't speak out clearly about Concubine Li's pain point, so she just said, "I can't explain this matter, Your Majesty, just think of it as me venting my personal anger."
Mo Jinchuan nodded and said "OK".
As for other things, not a single unnecessary word was asked.
He agreed so readily that Song Yanxi was even dazed for a moment.
If she had made a more outrageous request just now, he would have agreed without hesitation.
In fact, he didn't need to be so responsive to her.
She also didn't feel that she was worthy of his unwavering devotion and selfless kindness.
Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by her, Mo Jinchuan coughed lightly and asked, "Xi'er, why are you looking at me like this? Is there something dirty on my face?"
Song Yanxi shook her head and forced a smile, saying, "Today, in front of His Majesty, I would like to trouble you to speak for me."
Mo Jinchuan couldn't help but frown and said unhappily, "You are my wife-to-be. If I don't protect you, it would be unjust."
He said it seriously, as if all the unfaithful and ungrateful people in this world deserved to be struck by lightning.
Song Yanxi was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say.
Seeing that she was worried, Mo Jinchuan said quietly, "I would like to be the heartless person, but I have learned from past experiences. I should be more cautious."
Hearing him mention Song Huai'en, Song Yanxi's face couldn't help but darken.
Although the incident of him being struck by lightning outside the Yan family's door was extremely frustrating, it also became a topic of conversation among the people of Da'an after dinner.
As more and more people talk about it, it is inevitable that some people will be interested in the past events.
Even though it is a fact that Song Huai'en abandoned his wife and daughter and angered his parents to death.
But when it comes out of some people's mouths, it completely changes its meaning.
The ungrateful Song Huai'en became a hero who was willing to fight against his family and even the powerful in order not to disappoint his beloved cousin.
In their words.
What could Song Huai'en do wrong?
He just has the courage to pursue his true love and is unwilling to spend his life in such a muddle.
Yan Qing, who was deceived by him and acted like a widow even though her husband was alive, became an ignorant person who insisted on occupying the position of Marquis's wife.
Really, what a good trick to confuse right and wrong!
If Emperor Xuande was not in such poor health that he needed someone to take him with him, Song Yanxi would have to leave the palace to see who could say such a thing with such a clear conscience.
This is not easy to do, but simply evil.
They just spoke freely without caring about the harm their words would cause her if they got out.
Maybe they know, but just don't care.
After all, if the knife doesn't cut yourself, you won't feel pain.
Thinking about the news handed down by An San, and that Mo Jinchuan, as the master, must know about it, Song Yanxi said directly: "Your Highness, I have a favor to ask of you."
Seeing his frown, she knew she was being too reserved. After a moment's deliberation, she said, "Your Highness, do me a favor."
Mo Jinchuan's brows relaxed, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips as he said, "I prefer you to call me by my name rather than a honorific."
Facing his eyes that seemed to be able to bewitch people, Song Yanxi bit her tongue and said, "Let's talk about it another day."

"Madam, this is the banknote sent by the Yan family, saying..."
Looking at the hesitant Mrs. Qian, Lian Niang frowned and asked, "What did you say?"
She took the banknote and saw that it said one thousand taels, and her face immediately lit up with smiles.
"The Yan family is indeed the richest family in Beijing. They are so generous."
As Lian Niang spoke, she quickly folded the banknote and put it into the purse she was wearing.
When she looked up, she found that Mrs. Qian was looking at her with complicated eyes, stammering and unable to explain herself.
Lian Niang couldn't help but frown and said unhappily, "Mammy, you have been with me for so many years, you should know my temper.
If you really don’t want to say it, then don’t say it.”
Mrs. Qian wiped the sweat from her forehead and said quickly, "Madam, please calm down. It's not that I want to keep you in suspense, it's just that what the Yan family said is too harsh.
This old slave is just trying to imitate others, but he can’t even open his mouth.”
