"Which noble family is the Second Royal Concubine from? To be able to match the Emperor, her family must be outstanding."
The queen looked at Su Qingyue and asked in a calm tone.
Su Qingyue wanted to stand up and reply, but was stopped by Mo Bai, who held her hand and asked her to sit down. Then he replied to the queen, "When Qingyue and I got married, we were not royal families or anything like that. We didn't care about them."
Hearing this, the queen smiled and then said, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. The imperial concubine must come from a famous family. If her family is not good, then she can just be a concubine."
The Queen's words made Mo Bai's face turn slightly cold, and he said directly: "My affairs do not need the Queen to worry about."
The queen smiled and said, "How can that be? You are my son. As your legitimate mother, it is my responsibility to arrange your marriage. How can I refuse?"
After the queen finished speaking, she said directly to the noble ladies below: "Today is my birthday banquet. All the ministers and their wives are here. All the unmarried girls should stand in front of the hall. I will see who is the most suitable for Mo Bai. If you are attracted to each other, I will grant you the marriage today."
The Queen's words made all the ministers and their families panic!
It was still unknown what the second emperor who had just returned was like. There were too many unknowns in marrying his daughter to him at this time, and he could not let it go.
The girls had the same idea. They didn't know anything at this point and were not suitable for marriage. If something unexpected happened in the future, they would be the ones to suffer.
However, there were also some girls who looked at Mo Bai's face and were deceived by his appearance. They became very excited when they heard the queen's words.
Su Qingyue frowned slightly and looked at Mo Bai.
Mo Bai smiled at her soothingly, "Ayue, don't worry. I will only marry you in this life. No matter who it is, no one can control me. Stay by my side. I won't let anyone hurt you."
Mo Bai's words made Su Qingyue's tension instantly subside, and she immediately calmed down.
She didn't know why, but she believed in Mo Bai's words and felt that he could do it.
Mo Bai gave her a sense of security, and this sense of security was very important to her.
Su Qingyue smiled back and nodded, "Yeah."
Seeing the two of them exchanging glances, the queen sneered.
The more unwilling Mo Bai is about the granted marriage, the better.
What she wants is disapproval.
According to the Queen's words, all unmarried women stood in the middle of the main hall. There were rows of people, two full rows, and there were more than a dozen women of different colors.
The queen looked very satisfied, with a smile on her face.
The emperor remained silent and looked sullen.
"All of you go before the Second Emperor and introduce yourselves to him so that he can see and understand you."
The queen spoke, but her words made all the ministers look unhappy.
Even when the emperor was selecting concubines, there was no need for such a grand ceremony, as it made their daughters appear like objects for people to choose from.
What's more, he was just a down-and-out emperor who had just been found after wandering outside.
Of course, they were unhappy to choose their daughter in this way.
Although the ladies were unhappy, they did not dare to show it. They could only obediently walk up to Mo Bai, salute him and introduce themselves.
Mo Bai just looked on calmly without saying anything.
After the ladies had introduced themselves one by one, the Queen smiled and said, "How about it? Which one do you like? I will make the decision for you now."
Mo Bai said calmly: "I don't like any of them."
The queen's smile faded when she heard this.
"You don't like any of them? You have been living outside for many years. Don't you even have basic manners? These are the most noble ladies in Tiandu City. When you speak like this, have you ever thought about their dignity?"
Mo Bai sneered and said, "So, the Queen's words just now were also impolite and uncultured? I have been living away from home for many years, so it is understandable that I am impolite and uncultured. The Queen, as the head of the harem and the mother of a country, is as impolite and uncultured as me. This is really damaging to the reputation of our Xia country."
Mo Bai's words embarrassed the queen in public, and she was so angry that her face turned blue.
Mo Bai's personality is really hard to understand. He just came back and he dared to talk to her like this. I don't know whether to say he is ignorant or brainless.
The hall fell silent, and no one spoke for a while.
The emperor pretended not to hear and said nothing.
After a while, the queen spoke up, "What is it about these ladies that you don't like? Tell me so that others can understand. You can't just reject them for no reason!"
The Queen acted as if nothing had happened and continued to talk about the marriage granted by 깊.
Mo Bai heard this and replied, "They are all good, but because you, the Queen, called them here, I don't like them. I have clearly stated that I will only marry Qingyue in my life, but the Queen insisted on granting me another marriage. With this behavior, does the Queen have some private intentions?"
Mo Bai's words were too straightforward, which made people uncomfortable and unexpected.
The queen was angry twice, but she couldn't do anything about it.
"I just want to find a good match for you, and I have no other thoughts. It is really inappropriate for you to speak to me, your stepmother, in this way. Mo Bai, it seems that in addition to arranging a marriage for you, I have to find two masters for you to teach you the etiquette and rules of the royal family."
Mo Bai chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you can't make the decision about my affairs, so don't waste your time."
"We are exhausted from the long journey, so we will leave today!"
"Father, I will take my leave."
Mo Bai suddenly proposed to leave, but the emperor did not object or rebuke him. He said in a gentle tone, "Okay, you have been traveling for such a long time, you must be tired. Go and have a rest!"
The emperor's attitude towards Mo Bai can be said to be as good as it can be.
This blatant favoritism made many ministers waver and wonder whether they should find someone else to support.
In the past, the first emperor had all the advantages of timing and people, and was the only choice for the crown prince, but now, it is obvious that the second emperor is more likely to inherit the throne.
Mo Bai took Su Qingyue away in a dignified manner.
She even greeted the emperor only and didn't even look at the empress.
The queen just felt that she had never been so embarrassed in the past few decades.
In front of so many people.
She clenched her hands into fists, and the anger inside her was about to explode.
But he still retained a trace of rationality and didn't dare to really express it.
After Mo Bai and his wife left, the emperor lost interest in staying and returned to his own palace.
The only people left at the banquet were the queen and the ministers.
The queen gritted her teeth and said, "Today's banquet ends here. I am not feeling well. Everyone please go away!"
The queen spoke, and everyone bowed and left.
The news of the return of the Second Emperor Mo Bai soon spread throughout the Xia Kingdom.
The couple is known to everyone.
Mo Bai and Su Qingyue rested in the mansion for two days, and they both felt much better.
These two people, many of them wanted to come and visit, but they were all turned away.
The two of them stayed in the house quietly, but they didn't have many troubles for a while.
Until later, the emperor summoned the two into the palace.
