Chapter 132 Then I'll take her as my concubine!
Xiao Qingyuan's words sounded like he was treating Mu Ge like a servant in the royal palace, but Mu Ge was not angry at all. On the contrary, she was very happy because she felt that Xiao Qingyuan was treating her as one of his own. Moreover, as long as she could stay by Xiao Qingyuan's side, she would have the opportunity to become his concubine!
"Thank you, Your Highness. You are indeed as kind and generous as the rumors say!"
Mu Ge bowed her head and thanked him, feeling quite satisfied with the move she had made.
Xiao Qingyuan likes Chu Yanluo, right? Then she should speak well of Chu Yanluo and help Xiao Qingyuan meet with her more often, so that Xiao Qingyuan will treat her as one of his own.
Anyway, Chu Yanluo has already left. She's going to marry Gu Qianhan and become his legal wife, so she definitely won't go back to the Ning Prince's Mansion.
However, this Huayi is quite a threat to her. This maid is not only good-looking, but she was also given to the Crown Prince's wife by the Princess Consort, and then given to the Crown Prince by the Crown Prince's wife. The Crown Prince now entrusts all his internal affairs to her, and their close relationship is enviable!
As Mu Ge pondered this, she turned to look at Hua Yi, only to find that Hua Yi was also looking at her, her eyes filled with obvious warning and displeasure.
Mu Ge gave her a provocative smile, then turned to Xiao Qingyuan and put on a weak expression: "Young Master, please go find Miss Chu. Since she sent you a letter, she must have something important to discuss with you. Don't delay."
Xiao Qingyuan nodded and started to walk out, but as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he bumped into Granny Quan, who had come to take the person away.
Granny Quan didn't come alone; she brought two maids and two old women with her, exuding an imposing aura, clearly indicating that she had no good intentions.
Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "What is this nanny trying to do?"
Granny Quan was a confidante of Princess Ning, so she wasn't afraid of displeasing Xiao Qingyuan. She said in a humble but not arrogant manner, "Your Highness, the Princess requests that Miss Mu go to Shaoguang Courtyard."
Xiao Qingyuan had some understanding of his mother's personality. As a princess, she looked down on women like Chu Yanluo and Mu Ge.
Chu Yanluo lived in the Prince's mansion for so long, but her mother never once invited her into her courtyard, and didn't even bother to speak to her.
This sudden summons from her mother must be for something bad.
He couldn't help but press, "Why did Mother call Mu Ge to her yard? Does she want to ask her questions?"
"Young Master, once Miss Mu arrives, she will naturally find out."
Granny Quan looked at Mu Ge, who had come out with Xiao Qingyuan: "Miss Mu, please."
Mu Ge looked flattered and excited: "Did the Princess Consort ask me to speak? I thought this was a privilege reserved for the Crown Prince's wife, but now I have it too?"
Granny Quan said in an icy voice, "Miss Mu is overthinking things. The Crown Princess is the Crown Princess, and you are you. Miss Mu, don't waste your time here. The Princess is still waiting. Are you trying to put on airs for her?"
Mu Ge hurriedly said, "No, no."
She quickly followed Granny Quan, glancing back at Xiao Qingyuan as she went, wanting to give him a tender look.
Unfortunately, Granny Quan was far more skilled than her; she simply turned slightly to the side and blocked Mu Ge directly.
Although Xiao Qingyuan didn't see Mu Ge's eyes, he was a little suspicious of his mother's unusual behavior. After thinking about it, he followed her.
Therefore, he entered Shaoguang Academy almost at the same time as Mu Ge.
When Princess Ning saw that her son had actually come along, and that he was dressed in a new outfit, clearly looking like he was about to go out, she immediately flew into a rage: "You good-for-nothing, who let you come? Go back to your courtyard, I'll deal with this traitor first, then I'll deal with you!"
Xiao Qingyuan's expression was not good: "What have I done to offend you this time? I've been sick lately, and you don't care about me, but why do you have to punish me? Am I even your own son?"
Princess Ning slammed her hand on the table in anger, making a loud clanging sound: "You still have the nerve to ask if you're my biological son? If you weren't, I would have kicked you out long ago. You're so infuriating; every day you stay in the manor is a year less for me to live!"
Xiao Qingyuan was getting impatient: "What's wrong? Just say what you want to say, I have something urgent to do and need to leave!"
Princess Ning grabbed a white jade teacup and threw it at him: "Going out, going out, going out! All you ever think about is going out! Aren't you sick? Aren't you bedridden and not eating? How come you're suddenly dressed up and ready to go out today?! Which vixen seduced you into going out?"
"Why did you have to say such hurtful things, Mother!"
Xiao Qingyuan dodged the teacup, his expression turning cold: "You're asking a question you already know the answer to. You already knew that Yan Luo delivered the letter to me, which is why I went out! How is Yan Luo a vixen? I've said it many times, she's not the kind of person you think she is!"
Princess Ning almost fainted from anger.
In that instant, she felt as if she had returned to the past, to a time when her daughter-in-law had not yet entered the family, and her son was so infatuated with Chu Yanluo that he was willing to die. If she said anything bad about Chu Yanluo, her son would argue with her until she was vomiting blood, and he would make her so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Things had improved a lot after Shen Wantang married into the family; her son no longer argued or bickered with her. Why has it gone back to the way it was before? Who's behind this?
Mu Ge?
There could be no one else but her.
Princess Ning took several deep breaths to finally regain her composure. She looked at Mu Ge and said, "You, get out of here! Our royal residence does not tolerate ungrateful wretches!"
Mu Ge looked at Xiao Qingyuan with a face full of fear: "Your Highness, save me!"
Xiao Qingyuan stepped in front of Mu Ge: "Mother, if you're angry, take it out on me. Why drag innocent people into this? I agreed to Mu Ge living in the Prince's Mansion. If you kick her out, you're just killing her!"
"She's innocent?"
Princess Ning wished she could crack open her son's head to see what was going on in his head: "Originally, Chu Yanluo had already left with Gu Qianhan, and the family had finally settled down. But this Mu Ge can't stand the peace in the palace. She insisted on giving you Chu Yanluo's letter, making you waver again!"
"Does Mother mean I no longer have the right to receive Yan Luo's letter? If it weren't for Mu Ge, would I have never received this letter at all?"
Xiao Qingyuan now shielded Mu Ge even more tightly, as if he were protecting her: "No one in this family is on my side, only Mu Ge is willing to help me! With me here, no one can drive her away!"
Princess Ning was so angry she almost vomited blood. So she couldn't get rid of Chu Yanluo, nor could she get rid of Mu Ge? Was her word just air? Her son wouldn't agree to get rid of either of them, and he would throw a tantrum if she did!
"She's not helping you, she's harming you! She must leave today!"
"I disagree!"
Whether you agree or not is irrelevant!
"Very well, then I'll take her as my concubine! Once she's my woman, how can Mother possibly drive her away?"
