Seeing this, the Empress naturally objected, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince hasn't been betrothed yet! How come the other princes have been betrothed first?"
The Emperor of Qi was naturally displeased to be questioned in public, especially since he was the ruler of a country.
At this moment, Yaoyao stepped forward and said, "Mother, I do not want to get married so soon. My brothers are older than me, so they will be married to me first."
The Great Qi Emperor gave Yao Yao a rare, careful look. She'd always been a troublemaker; it was unusual for her to be so clear-headed. But… well, to secure her throne, she needed powerful backers. Since he'd said so, he'd grant his son's wish.
As a result, after a round of bestowed marriages, almost all the princes, except for Yaoyao, were already engaged.
For a moment, Yao Yao's position was quite awkward.
However, Mo Bai was indeed the youngest among all the princes, even Mo Yun was two years older than him.
However, since only princes born to the Empress could be made Crown Prince in the Great Qi Kingdom, the Emperor of Great Qi was always wary of the Empress's maternal family and naturally dared not act rashly.
That's why Yaoyao was chosen to be the crown prince.
After the palace banquet ended, the Empress stormed up to Yao Yao.
"All of you, step back."
"yes"
"Mo'er, why did you refuse the marriage bestowed upon you by your father?"
"Mother, I am still young."
The Empress was furious. "Still young? Yun'er, look at that bastard! His Majesty actually made the Minister's daughter his concubine?! What does this mean? What if that bastard's power grows stronger and threatens your position as Crown Prince?"
Yao Yao looked up and realized that the Empress wasn't so stupid after all.
Then, calmly, she said, "Mother, have you considered why Father Emperor appointed a Minister's daughter as a concubine to Mo Yun instead of his principal wife?"
The Empress was taken aback. "Isn't it because that vile woman whispered in my ear?"
Yao Yao shook her head inwardly. Sigh~ This Empress still doesn't understand, "But isn't Father Emperor's favorite woman you?"
Yes, the Emperor of Qi's public and empress-like behavior always indicated that the empress was his favorite woman.
The Empress was not stupid after all; she understood everything after hearing what Yaoyao said.
Her eyes welled up with tears. "How is this possible?"
Then he stared blankly at Yao Yao, muttering something to himself, and then left.
Seeing the Empress's expression, Yao Yao understood that she knew what the Empress meant.
…………
"Yun'er, it seems His Majesty still values you."
Yuan Mo covered her face and chuckled, her eyes brimming with pride. No one had expected that the Emperor of Daqi would bestow such an honor upon a prince.
What does this mean? Power and the emperor's favor!
However, the crown prince had nothing but the so-called gold and silver.
"You should seize the opportunity. After all, it's all about the winner and the loser; the most important thing is the result."
Mo Yun's lips curled slightly. "Yes, Mother, but..." Mo Yun hesitated again.
"But what? When it comes to big things, don't be so hesitant; be decisive."
"Yes, Mother, but the assassin didn't manage to hurt that good-for-nothing today. Instead, he captured someone. Could this be..."
"Hmph," Yuan Mo snorted coldly, "What's the big deal? This was all done by others, it has nothing to do with us. You need to remember that, understand? Don't panic."
"Yes, Mother."
Mo Yun was relieved; his mother had never made any mistakes in her work.
Hmph, it's just the Dali Temple. Do you think a dead person can speak?
Now, Mo Bai, the Qilin Guard, has been given a portion of his maternal grandfather's power to serve Yao Yao.
A Qilin Guard approached Yao Yao, handed her a note, and then silently withdrew.
