Chapter 465: The Tea in the Tea
Although the old emperor thought Jun Huolan would be a good emperor, even if he was not disabled, he would not allow his son to succeed to the throne.
After all, his father and brothers had done bad things to Jun Huolan.
If he is allowed to take power and the accounts are settled later, these people will suffer.
So if he had to choose between himself and a bunch of sons, or one son, he would definitely choose himself and a bunch of sons.
The old emperor thought about it, but couldn't think of any good way to make Jun Huolan cancel the engagement himself.
Mo Yunzhu would definitely not cancel the engagement, so how could he get this little woman?
After not seeing her for half a year, he likes this girl more and more.
How about being a tyrant and imprisoning people in the palace and making them his own?
But Mo Yunzhu's father Mo Tiancheng and Jun Huolan would probably be very angry.
This is not the main point. The main point is that people in the court may not agree with his approach.
As an emperor, he also had to care about his reputation and he couldn't let himself be infamous for eternity because of a woman.
"Your Majesty, if you break off the engagement with Prince Lan again, Yunzhu will really have no choice but to die." Mo Yunzhu found it funny to see the old emperor's uncertain face.
This old pervert must be thinking of some way to get her legally, right?
Want her to break off the engagement with Prince Lan? It's just a dream!
The old emperor hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense. Lao Wu will not cancel the engagement. It's just that you are wronged. After all, Lao Wu's legs are inconvenient."
"Your Majesty, I think Prince Lan is very good. A woman wants a husband who treats her well. Prince Lan treats me very well and respects me very much.
And even though he has bad legs and feet, he is good-looking. Yun Zhu feels that she is not at a disadvantage. Besides, the emperor values him now, so our life in the future will not be too difficult.
Your Majesty, thank you. Prince Lan has been a hostage for ten years. What he needs most is the healing of family love. It is you who gave him hope for life again."
The old emperor was stunned when he heard this, and his face twitched several times.
I thought he was not that great.
But when Mo Yunzhu looked at him like that, he instantly felt a little proud.
Do I really have to give up on her and let Lao Wu be with her?
The old emperor started coughing, confused.
Just then, a woman's charming voice appeared.
"Hurry up and bring the crystal cake and some fruit. The scenery here is great. Let's spend some time here."
The old emperor was stunned, and Mo Yunzhu was also stunned.
Eunuch Gao, who was following not far away, was even more stunned. Didn't he ask his servants to clear out the Yu Garden?
The old emperor's face darkened, but Mo Yunzhu was very happy.
"Crystal cake, I haven't eaten it for a long time."
The emperor immediately laughed: "That is the Purple Beauty who just entered the palace not long ago. She is just a little girl who likes to make snacks. I have gained weight recently."
"Oh, if even the emperor finds it delicious, the cooking must be good."
The two walked towards the sound. When they turned a corner in the rockery path, they saw a master and a palace maid standing in front of a small stone table beside the lake among the rockery.
Cakes and fruits were already on the table.
Mo Yunzhu saw a woman in a purple palace dress and an elegant headdress.
She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was pretty, but a little immature.
Mo Yunzhu thought that the old emperor was a pervert, an old cow eating young grass. The grass was too tender, and he was not afraid of dying from eating it.
"Zi Jin." The old emperor and Mo Yunzhu walked out.
The woman looked up, then was frightened and quickly knelt down.
"Get up, what brought you here?"
The old emperor's tone was still very gentle. He then turned to Mo Yunzhu and said, "Yunzhu, sit down and taste the crystal cake made by Zijin."
Zi Jin looked at Mo Yunzhu, her expression a little embarrassed, but also surprised. Then, seeing the emperor smiling so happily at Mo Yunzhu, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, who is this sister?" Zi Jin's voice was so coquettish that it gave Mo Yunzhu goosebumps.
But she didn't care and just sat down and started eating.
"This is Mo Yunzhu, the daughter of General Mo, whom I told you about before." The old emperor asked her to sit down as well.
Zi Jin's face became dull for a moment, and his hands under the table were in a tangle of movements.
She was sent by Concubine Xiu to seduce the emperor, and Concubine Xiu told her that the emperor's favorite woman now was called Mo Yunzhu.
It was Mo Yunzhu who caused Concubine Xiu to be stripped of her title of noble concubine.
This woman is very powerful. She was originally the future Crown Princess and later became the future Princess Lan.
Now even the old emperor dotes on her.
Judging from Mo Yunzhu's expression at this moment and the old emperor's attitude, what Concubine Xiu said was indeed true.
She had to find a way to make the emperor hate her.
"What's wrong with Miss Purple?" Mo Yunzhu looked at the little girl while eating. She was indeed young and her mind was all in her eyes.
"Oh, oh, it turns out to be Miss Mo. I've heard the Emperor often talk about you. Miss Mo is smart and generous. Zi Jin feels ashamed of herself when she sees you."
Mo Yunzhu burst into laughter.
The old emperor also laughed and said, "What are you comparing with Yunzhu? Yunzhu is smarter than you can imagine. Yunzhu, eat more fruit."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please stop praising me. Otherwise, Lady Zi will feel uncomfortable." Mo Yunzhu said in a teasing tone.
Zi Jin suddenly became nervous and the old emperor frowned.
"How could that be? Miss Mo, you must be joking. It is Zi Jin's honor to have tea with Miss Mo."
"I heard that Lady Purple was brought in by Concubine Xiu?" Mo Yunzhu asked indifferently.
The old emperor nodded and said, "I know what Concubine Xiu is thinking, but fortunately Zijin is an obedient girl."
Zi Jin immediately lowered his head, and Mo Yunzhu smiled and asked, "How is Concubine Xiu these days?"
Zi Jin was stunned. The old emperor said, "She went to live with the fourth son. She said she was not feeling well and wanted to leave the palace to relax. I agreed."
"That Concubine Xiu really cares about the emperor. She even remembers to send a beauty in. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
The old emperor was stunned, and then his face turned gloomy.
He was inhumane before, but Lan Yan finally helped him recover, and Concubine Xiu sent a beautiful woman in.
He has to pamper her every night. Isn't this a perfectly healthy body being tortured again?
Could it be that Concubine Xiu was not trying to please him, but to harm him?
Zi Jin's face changed drastically, he quickly stood up and then knelt down again.
"Your Majesty, Miss Mo is going to embarrass Zi Jin."
"Ah, what did I say?" Mo Yunzhu looked as if she was doubting her life.
The old emperor's face immediately darkened.
"Okay, Zi Jin, you can go down. You don't have to sleep with me these days." After saying that, he waved his hand.
Zi Jin was stunned and looked at Mo Yunzhu in disbelief.
She just said one sentence and she was ignored. How could this happen?
"Your Majesty, Zi Jin has prepared a down skirt for tonight, and is waiting for Your Majesty to appreciate it." Zi Jin immediately spoke in a coquettish tone again.
"Feather gauze?" The old emperor's eyes lit up, and the desire in his eyes could not be concealed.
