Chapter 27 Her Dominance
"Get out of here!" Zhang Fengyi was so angry at being laughed at that he yelled at the people around him and then ran away quickly.
His guards followed closely behind.
"Yunzhu." Suddenly a female voice sounded, and Mo Yunzhu sounded a little familiar.
She turned her head and saw a woman lifting her hat, revealing a familiar pretty face.
The original owner's memory suddenly rushed into Mo Yunzhu's mind.
"Qinxin, you are here too." Mo Yunzhu immediately showed a look of surprise.
The pretty girl in front of her, who is one year younger than her, is the original owner's rare friend, Gu Qinxin, the eldest daughter of the Minister of War.
Because Gu Qinxin also has a carefree personality and has loved wielding swords and guns since childhood, the two of them knew each other at a very young age.
At that time, General Mo often took Mo Yunzhu to the Ministry of War, and Gu Qinxin was also often taken to the Ministry of War by her father, so the two of them had similar interests and soon became friends.
However, as they grew up, they interacted less and less.
Because Mo Yunzhu is the Crown Princess, Lord Gu feels that his daughter is not worthy of being her friend. He is afraid that others will gossip too much, so he does not allow Gu Qinxin to go out.
Although they would meet at parties, Mo Yunzhu had more and more social engagements, so she naturally neglected Gu Qinxin.
Gu Qinxin did not blame Mo Yunzhu. After all, as the future Crown Princess, there would definitely be many people trying to curry favor with her, so she did not bother her.
But this time, news of the affair between Mo Yunzhu and Prince Lan spread outside. After the prince broke off the engagement, she was shocked and instantly felt sorry for Mo Yunzhu.
She wanted to find some time to visit Mo Yunzhu at the General's Mansion, but her mother always opposed it and wouldn't let her go out.
This time, it was her mother who asked her and her sister to come together. They did not come for the Crown Princess, but to make more friends of the same age.
Mo Yunzhu's mind was filled with the original owner's beautiful memories of Gu Qinxin. She suddenly felt that she had no friends here and needed to make friends.
"Qinxin meets His Royal Highness Prince Lan." Gu Qinxin walked over and immediately saluted when she saw Prince Lan.
Her younger sister Gu Wanwan beside her stared at Jun Huolan's handsome face with her mouth wide open.
"Wanwan." Gu Qinxin saw that her sister didn't move, and she almost fainted after taking a look. This sister was too unreliable. She stared at Prince Lan directly, which was too embarrassing.
"Oh, Wanwan has met His Royal Highness Prince Lan and Miss Mo." Gu Wanwan came back to her senses and immediately saluted with a red face, twirling her handkerchief with both hands, obviously a little nervous.
After all, Zhang Fengyi had seen Mo Yunzhu's scolding just now, and Prince Lan would soon be Mo Yunzhu's husband.
Jun Huolan didn't say anything, and Mo Yunzhu immediately said, "Get up, Qinxin, long time no see, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Are you okay?" She looked at King Lan timidly.
Mo Yunzhu knew what she was thinking and smiled, "I'm fine, better than before, really."
Gu Qinxin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's good, Yunzhu, if you need my help, you must send someone to find me."
These words made Mo Yunzhu feel warm inside, and she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll remember that, and we'll talk about it later."
"Yeah." Gu Qinxin nodded happily. After saying goodbye to Prince Lan, she took her sister to Jiutian Pavilion first.
"The daughter of the Minister of War?" Jun Huolan asked in a low voice. They walked very slowly.
Many people would say hello when passing by them, but they would walk away even faster and would not dare to gossip to their faces.
"Well, Qinxin is fine." Mo Yunzhu smiled.
Jun Huolan nodded. He saw that there was genuine concern in Gu Qinxin's eyes when she looked at Mo Yunzhu.
"Her sister has taken a fancy to you." Mo Yunzhu chuckled.
Jun Huolan's arms froze and he said, "You're still interested in my broken body?"
"Women are judged by their appearance. Looks are justice, understand? You have a very pretty face. I like it too. It makes me look very proud when I show it off."
Mo Yunzhu turned her head and looked at his somewhat blurry handsome face through the veil of his hat and said with a smile.
"Cough cough cough..." Jun Huolan started coughing again, and his heart was beating much faster. Did she say that she also liked his face?
Hao Jiang and the others heard it clearly and couldn't help but laugh inwardly. A feeling of happiness surged in everyone's heart.
"Let's go there by pleasure boat." Mo Yunzhu had planned it already.
Jun Huolan nodded, and the group slowly approached the Nine-Turn Bridge leading to Jiutian Pavilion, because the pier for the pleasure boats was next to it.
There were more and more people, and the noise was louder. Even if someone saw Prince Lan, they would still say the same thing. Now they were more concerned about who dressed up beautifully and could be favored by the prince. Many women wore a Western hat when they went out, and it was really hard to tell who was who at first glance.
Mo Huaiqing arrived later. She also wore a Wei hat and was supported by her maid Hongdou, and was accompanied by four guards from the general's mansion.
As soon as they arrived, they didn't deal with anyone and went straight to the Nine-Turn Bridge. Mo Yunzhu saw her on the island in the middle of the lake from the boat and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Half an hour later, the island in the middle of the lake was already bustling with people, and the various beauties and hats were a feast for the eyes.
Where there are beauties, there are also many young men. Everyone knows that today is an opportunity to see beauties, so all the unmarried men in the imperial city flocked to the place.
It is impossible for the prince to select all the beauties, so they also come to see if there are any women they like. Some young ladies who don’t have confidence in choosing a concubine also have this idea, hoping to find a good husband.
Mo Yunzhu and Prince Lan's pleasure boat was rowed out by Feng Yan, and standing on the second-floor plank, one could clearly see countless men and women of all colors crowding into the island in the middle of the lake and heading towards the Jiutian Pavilion.
"Jasmine, where is my piano?" Mo Yunzhu asked Jasmine.
"Miss, I'll get it right away." Jasmine ran down the plinth and quickly brought the guqin over.
Jun Huolan sat on the board while Yuan Qing made tea. He asked, "Do you want to play the piano?"
"Well, is that not possible? Haven't you heard that Miss Mo is only good at wielding swords and guns, and not at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting?" Mo Yunzhu said with a smile.
"That's not it." Jun Huolan didn't know what to say. It's not that Mo Yunzhu doesn't know how to do it. She still has to learn these things if she wants to be the Crown Princess. But I heard that she is far inferior to her second sister Mo Huaiqing.
"Don't listen to what others say in the future. See for yourself. I am a lazy person. Sometimes I just don't want to fight. But if I have to fight, I won't give others a chance."
Mo Yunzhu's extremely domineering words made Jun Huolan really more and more curious about her.
"When the Crown Prince selects his concubine, there must be a competition of musical instrument skills. I want to see who dares to be the first to come out and embarrass himself after me." Mo Yunzhu smiled wickedly, "Haojiang, ask Fengyan to move the pleasure boat over."
"Okay." Hao Jiang agreed immediately, his face full of excitement.
Although Jiutian Pavilion is on the island in the middle of the lake, it is not in the middle, but close to the river on the east side. The entire stage faces south, so you can enjoy the lake view. There is also a pier stone road below to facilitate the docking and landing of pleasure boats.
"The prince is here." Yuan Qing saw that there were suddenly more people on the Nine-Turn Bridge, and then he saw the man in light gold clothes walking towards the island in the middle of the lake surrounded by guards.
