Chapter 470: Eat to Digest

Jun Huolan's cold gaze moved across the faces of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.

"Fifth brother, do you know who was sent?" Prince Jun Xianhe asked hurriedly.

The fourth prince Jun Wuyang also nodded this time, as if he wanted to know who the imperial envoy was.

"Father is still considering it. He should have a candidate in mind. You will know in a few days."

The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince looked at each other, and uneasiness was seen in both of their eyes.

Although local officials were appointed by the imperial court, most of them were arranged by their relatives.

It's about where the money and power are and who will give it up.

The two families have been working hard in secret for countless years. Now they are suddenly going to investigate. If the imperial minister makes a decision first and reports later, the loss will be huge.

The two of them were busy thinking about notifying their own people, and the smiles on their faces became a little stiff.

"Your Highness, dinner is ready." The butler came in and said.

A group of people began to move to the dining hall of the Prince's Mansion.

This place is closed on weekdays, and everyone will make some food in the small kitchen, but today there is a banquet, so it is very lively in here.

As soon as she entered, the aroma filled her nose and made her feel hungry.

The fourth prince approached Jun Huolan and whispered a few words. Jun Huolan's brows were furrowed, as if he had encountered some difficulties.

When the prince's people saw this, they immediately felt something was wrong and quickly reported it to the prince.

The prince immediately turned back and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, today is a welcoming banquet, you have to drink a few cups."

Jun Wuyang was pouting in his heart, but he still said politely, "Thank you, my brother, the Crown Prince. I will be respectful and obey your command. Fifth brother, this way."

On the other side, Mo Huaiqing held Mo Yunzhu's arm.

"Sister, we didn't know the Fourth Prince would come. This is too shameless. We didn't even invite him."

Mo Yunzhu smiled and said, "The Fourth Prince is also thoughtful. Besides, if you invite him here and he doesn't, he will be afraid of being criticized. Now that he has come and given a gift, these idle talks will naturally stop."

Mo Huaiqing pursed her lips and said, "Sister, His Highness has also prepared a gift for you, and it will be delivered to you later."

"Really?" Mo Yunzhu laughed secretly, wondering what the Crown Prince could give that could surpass the golden headdress of the Fourth Prince.

But she likes anything that's worth money.

"Sister, when the banquet is over, can you hold the Fourth Prince back?"

"What?" Mo Yunzhu looked at Mo Huaiqing in surprise.

Mo Huaiqing quickly explained, "No, what I meant is that His Highness wants to have a private chat with Prince Lan, but he's afraid that the Fourth Prince won't be able to see through him, so he wants my sister to help hold the Fourth Prince back for a while."

"What does the prince want to talk to Prince Lan about?" Mo Yunzhu looked curious.

Mo Huaiqing shook his head and said, "I don't know. It was His Highness who asked me to beg my sister. Sister, please help me." He looked pitiful as he spoke.

"Do you know that at the beginning of the year, the prince will marry Dai Yaohe as his princess consort?" Mo Yunzhu looked at her and asked.

Mo Huaiqing immediately shuddered, then nodded with a somewhat depressed mood.

"I know, sister. As long as I give birth to a child, at least I can have a place in the prince's mansion. Finally, Dai Yaohe. The prince needs her father's help. But I believe that when the prince inherits the throne, he will definitely look down on Dai Yaohe."

"You mean, if he doesn't like Dai Yaohe, he can still look at you?"

Mo Yunzhu saw the impatient look Jun Xianhe had towards his sister. How could this woman still feel so good about herself?

If she didn't really owe her, Mo Yunzhu wouldn't care about her life or death.

But thinking of Feng Jinyu, who loved her more than her mother Mo Huaiqing, she would not let her perish in the fight.

I wonder if she won’t be able to bear such a huge gap in the future.

Mo Huaiqing tightened the handkerchief in his hand.

"Sister, but I am now the prince's concubine and have a child. What else can I do? Even if the prince really doesn't like me anymore, I can only die in the prince's mansion.

Sister, I don’t want this to happen. If father and sister could help the prince, he wouldn’t be so cruel to me.

Sister, can you please help me? If the prince succeeds to the throne, I will never forget your contribution."

Mo Huaiqing looked pitiful and pleading.

"Alas, you still don't understand. This matter is not something that Dad and I can control. The old emperor is a man of deep thoughts. As long as his health is good, he will not let any of his sons show up. That would be another threat to him. Do you understand?"

Mo Huaiqing was stunned, and then his expression suddenly changed.

"Sister, you, you mean that the Emperor wants to maintain a balance between the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince?"

Mo Yunzhu glanced at her indifferently.

"The emperor is treating Prince Lan well now, and he is also using Prince Lan to balance the power between the crown prince and the fourth prince. The one who really makes the plans is still the emperor."

Mo Huaiqing seemed to think for a long time before he finally understood.

In an instant, she loosened her arm around Mo Yunzhu.

I thought, if that's the case, there's no need for the prince to please Prince Lan and Mo Yunzhu.

Seeing her like this, Mo Yunzhu shook her head in her heart. Why did her parents, who were obviously very smart, give birth to such a stupid daughter? Did they change her?

"Okay, I'll do my best to help you hold back the Fourth Prince later." Mo Yunzhu said and walked away.

Mo Huaiqing looked at her back and pursed his lips. She really thought he was asking her to do something. Why was she so arrogant?

She had to tell the prince that they didn't need to please Prince Lan and Mo Yunzhu anymore.

When the prince heard what Mo Huaiqing said, he was stunned at first, then his face turned fierce and he said, "You idiot, even so, whoever Old Fifth says good things about to the emperor, the ruler in his heart will lean towards that person!"

Mo Huaiqing was stunned again, then her face turned pale. She really forgot about this. It was like pillow talk. If you say it too much, she will definitely care about it in her heart.

"Why don't you treat your sister well? If you ruin my business because of you, just wait and see how I'll punish you!" Jun Xianhe was so angry that he wanted to slap her.

But when I saw her big belly, I had to bear it.

The baby in her belly is Mo Tiancheng's grandson!

He just didn't believe that when the time came to use his grandson to force Mo Tiancheng, Mo Tiancheng would just sit there and do nothing!

The banquet was exquisite and luxurious, and everyone enjoyed the meal.

After eating and drinking, Jun Huolan glanced at Mo Yunzhu.

Mo Yunzhu stood up, touched her stomach and said, "I'm so full, Prince. Your cook is great. I haven't eaten so much in a long time."

When the prince saw Mo Yunzhu's playful look, he smiled gently.

"If Yunzhu likes to eat, she can come to the house more often and accompany Huaiqing."

"Yes, sister, if you like to eat it, I can send it to you." Mo Huaiqing's expression changed again.

Mo Yunzhu smiled and said, "No, my parents will scold me. I'm really too full. Let's go to the garden to digest the food. Prince, do you want to come with us?" As she said that, she looked at Jun Huolan.

"Of course I have to accompany Zhu'er." Jun Huolan stood up immediately.
