Chapter 755 He and her scumbag father are on par
The Ninth Prince turned his head to look at her, and gently touched Song Yanxi's hair with his little finger, but did not dare to really grab it.
It was obvious that he knew how to avoid angering Concubine Li.
Song Yanxi casually felt his pulse and smiled faintly, "Your Majesty has taken good care of him. His Highness the Ninth Prince has fully recovered."
Concubine Li chuckled and said, "It's all thanks to you. If you hadn't sent me the medicine later, I don't know how I would have coaxed this naughty monkey to drink it."
Mo Yingxue heard this and smiled mischievously, "Fifth sister-in-law, you don't know that my brothers and sisters have been unable to drink bitter medicine since they were young.
My fifth brother is the worst hit. He usually spits out three times for every one he drinks. I heard from my father that when he was a child, every time he got sick, the imperial physician would prick him like a hedgehog."
When she mentioned Emperor Xuande, the smile on her face faded a little and she lowered her head unconsciously.
Knowing that she was upset, Concubine Li continued, "Hao'er is the same, he has been unable to take medicine since he was young.
It would be harder to get him to drink than to kill him."
Song Yanxi had a faint smile on her face, but she was thinking about something else.
The prince, who had been unable to drink bitter medicine since childhood, must have tasted all the bitter medicine in the world during the two years when his leg was injured.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to drink a bowl of medicinal soup prepared by Tian Bo without any expression in Hemu Village.
The strong smell of medicine made even she frown.
How much suffering had he endured during the days she had never known about?
Seeing that Song Yanxi's face looked off, Concubine Li asked with concern: "Yanxi, are you feeling unwell?"
Mo Yingxue smiled mischievously and said teasingly, "Fifth sister-in-law isn't feeling unwell physically, she's clearly feeling unwell mentally."
She paused, then deliberately stretched out her voice before continuing, "She feels sorry for my fifth brother."
"Really?" Concubine Li smiled meaningfully. "It seems that those miscellaneous books you read every day are not completely useless."
Hearing her teasing words, Mo Yingxue couldn't help but blush and said coquettishly, "Empress Li is making fun of me again."
She turned around to tease the Ninth Prince and said in an exaggerated tone, "Little Hao, come and let your sister hold you."
The Ninth Prince smiled shyly and hid in Song Yanxi's arms.
Mo Yingxue laughed angrily, her eyes full of resentment as she said, "You are such a heartless little bastard! It's a shame that your sister loves you so much."
She sighed softly, turned around and hugged Concubine Li's waist again, humming: "You hug my fifth sister-in-law, and I hug your mother. We are even now."
Amused by her childish words, Concubine Li tapped her forehead and said lovingly, "You really never grow up."
Mo Yingxue pursed her lips and said unhappily, "It's better if I don't grow up big. This way, Father won't have to think about pushing me away."
Mentioning the sad things, she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Empress Li, I'm hungry, I want to eat three bowls!"
Concubine Li smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll ask the kitchen to do it right away."
She looked at Song Yanxi and smiled apologetically, "I'm so sorry to bother you making this trip so late at night."
Mo Yingxue hurriedly said, "Fifth sister-in-law didn't eat well today, so it's a good opportunity for us to try the cooking skills of the chef in Empress Li's palace.
I heard from my mother that your fiefdom is in Yuzhou, and that the chef there is a master at cooking Yuzhou cuisine."
Just saying this made her drool.
"You!" Concubine Li smiled and shook her head. "Go and tell the cook what you want to eat. It's rare that Princess Yong'an is here today, so you two can have a drink with me."
When Mo Yingxue heard that she had to drink, she couldn't help but feel scared.
If her mother knew about this, wouldn't she have to be confined to her house for a few more days?
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Concubine Li say in a gentle voice, "Let me talk to the Queen. It will definitely not be your fault."
With these words, Mo Yingxue instantly became a lot bolder.
Her eyes rolled around, and she was about to order the palace servants to do it, when she heard Concubine Li suddenly ask, "Princess, do you still remember the Thousand Days Drunk that we buried in the courtyard during Hao'er's full moon celebration?"
Mo Yingxue nodded quickly, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Madam Li, wait a minute. I'll go dig it up right away."
"Princess, be careful not to hurt your hands."
"This little thing can't bother me."
Looking at Mo Yingxue's excited back, Concubine Li ordered towards the door, "Follow the princess, and don't hurt her."
"Yes, my lady."
Then, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
When there was no movement outside, Song Yanxi raised her eyes to look at Concubine Li, met her smiling eyes and asked, "Your Majesty deliberately sent the princess away, but do you have anything to tell this servant?"
Concubine Li nodded, took the Ninth Prince from her arms and said, "This little monkey is very heavy, don't let him tire you out."
As if it understood what she said, the little monkey stretched out its chubby little hands and grabbed at the air.
But his protests fell on deaf ears.
Concubine Li sat down at the table holding the child and gently greeted her, "There are no outsiders here. Come and sit down."
Song Yanxi did as she was told.
As soon as she sat down, Concubine Li came straight to the point and said, "Princess, I don't like beating around the bush, and I believe you are the same."
Song Yanxi: "Your Majesty, just tell me what you want to ask."
Concubine Li nodded, her smile fading slightly. "Just now, the princess came in and started crying non-stop, saying that His Majesty wanted her to marry into the Liang Kingdom. Is that true?"
Recalling Emperor Xuande's attitude, Song Yanxi pondered, "It is true, but in my humble opinion, Your Majesty would not be so cruel as to marry the princess off."
"You don't understand him." Concubine Li curled her lips sarcastically, "He is a father, yes, but he is also the ruler of a country.
Anyone can sacrifice for the greater good when necessary."
He is the king and Song Yanxi is the minister.
So even if he is no longer, there are some things she cannot say.
Concubine Li also realized that she had lost her composure and said with an apologetic smile, "Look at me, why am I telling you this?
Once Your Majesty has made a decision, no one can change it.
Even the King of Jin could only offer some persuasion, let alone you."
Rather than complaining, Song Yanxi felt that Concubine Li meant to tell her that she wanted to help Mo Yingxue but was powerless.
Not to mention her, if Emperor Xuande was really determined to get a marriage alliance, even the Queen would not be able to change his mind.
But there is one person who can.
As long as Mo Jinchuan agreed to Emperor Xuande's request and became the Prince of Da'an, he could keep Mo Yingxue.
He was the only one who, no matter what decision he made, no minister in the court dared to question it.
Over the years, he has repeatedly blocked the Liang army's cavalry and defended Da'an's territory and people.
Just based on this point, when he said he would not marry, no one in the country dared to force Mo Yingxue to marry into Liang State.
Emperor Xuande was well aware of this, so he used the marriage issue to force him to make a decision.
Although for Yu Daan, his move was well-intentioned.
But Song Yanxi still wanted to say something.
When it comes to being a father, he is just as bad as her scumbag father.
He used his daughter's life, even her life, as a bargaining chip in a game against his son.
He is unworthy of being a father!
Not missing the anger in Song Yanxi's eyes, Concubine Li said, "The princess is on good terms with the princess, and you should know that she is a straightforward and kind-hearted child.
I'm sure the princess knows a lot about who the Liang crown prince is, even without me telling her."
She paused, disgust in her eyes, "With his character, he still wants to marry my Da'an's legitimate princess. He's like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yanxi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
Noticing her change in expression, Concubine Li asked doubtfully, "My Lady, are you also trying to say that I have changed?"
