After the first fool

Chapter 241 Mo Qing's Thoughts

There was silence in the carriage, Mo Qing's expression was complicated, sometimes he sighed quietly, sometimes he frowned at Mo Xiaoran, he hesitated to speak a few times, as if he had a huge problem hidden in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it.

Mo Xiaoran sat firmly on the cushion, opened the curtains, and looked at the bustling streets outside. The people who greeted each other at the gate of the city had already gone home, and the vendors were busy preparing to open. The gate had already been opened, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians, shouting, talking and laughing, surrounding the entire imperial city.

A style of prosperity.

"Ran'er," Mo Qing hesitated for a long time, and finally opened his mouth. He called out in a deep voice, with struggles, contradictions, self-blame, and deep helplessness in his eyes.

Mo Xiaoran thought about it, guessed what Mo Qing wanted to say, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Dad, do you want to ask about the request that King Qing said in the imperial study today?"

Mo Qing didn't expect that her mind would be so transparent, and her expression became more and more awkward, "That's right."

"Father, just say it." Mo Xiaoran said with a smile. To be honest, according to Mo Qing's affection for Hua Shaofang, after years of misunderstandings and barriers have been resolved, it stands to reason that Mo Qing should not prevent herself from marrying Bai Qingluo Ah, after all, he is good, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell it at a glance.

Mo Qing rubbed the center of his brows, and sighed tiredly: "It's not that Dad wants to fight against you, it's really... King Qing's status is too noble, and a small family like us can't afford it."

Small family?

The majestic pillar of the imperial court, the prime minister of the first rank, would belittle himself so much. It is really dumbfounding, but the fact is true. Compared with Bai Qingluo, Mo Qing's family background is not worth mentioning at all. Compared with power, he It can't compare to Bai Qingluo, who holds a large army, but compared to his connections, even the emperor who has just ascended the throne, it is clear that he is with Bai Qingluo, more than gold, silver and jewelry, and almost all the expenses of this war are arranged by Bai Qingluo alone No one knows exactly how much money he holds in his hands, but it is definitely incomparably rich.

Mo Xiaoran remained silent, she knew that Mo Qing hadn't finished speaking.

Sure enough, Mo Qing thought for a while, and then continued: "You were married to the late emperor. Although later, your two marriages were irrelevant, but your name is still recorded in the history books." After a slight pause, Mo Qing Qing's expression darkened a bit: "If you remarry into the royal family again, how will you let future generations discuss it? How will you comment? The people of the world will poke your spine and scold you all day long."

"I don't care if I will be famous for thousands of years or be famous for thousands of years." Mo Xiaoran said calmly, "History?How accurate that kind of thing is, who knows?Aren't all historical manuscripts recorded by the victors?What's more, if you always care about the eyes of others, wouldn't you want to live in entanglement all your life? "I do things with a clear conscience."

"But how are you going to stop everyone in the world?" Mo Qing couldn't help raising his voice, he really didn't want to see his beloved daughter ruined!If what she fancyed was just an ordinary person or an official of the court, he would never have any opinion, but it happened that the one who wanted her was a high-ranking prince--Bai Qingluo.

If they really get married, how will people in the world treat them?A woman who serves her nephew and uncle?The rumors would have been devastating to her reputation.

Mo Xiaoran pursed her lips and smiled: "I really don't care, Dad, what other people want to say, our mouths grow on them, can we control it? We live our own lives, I neither violated the law nor murdered and set fire , why are you afraid?"

Mo Qing sighed deeply, "Are you determined to marry King Qing?"

Is there really no room for change in this matter?

Mo Xiaoran shrugged her shoulders, with a look of helplessness: "I don't know, anyway, he is the one who said to get married, and he is also the one who asked the emperor for an order."

It's just that she didn't refuse. Thinking of this, Mo Xiaoran couldn't help laughing secretly.

That man, he couldn't wait to get to this point. He just stepped into the imperial city, and before he rested for a few days, he went to the emperor to ask for a marriage. He is probably the only one in the world who can do such a thing, right?
"Then what do you mean?" Mo Qing racked her brains, trying to find out Mo Xiaoran's intentions. If she has no intentions towards King Qing, this matter may change. After all, even if King Qing is powerful , it is impossible to force her to get on the sedan chair, right?Although Mo Qing was getting old, his eyes were still not dim. He could see how much Bai Qingluo thought about Mo Xiaoran. As long as Ran'er didn't nod his head, King Qing would never force her.

If Mo Xiaoran knew what he was thinking, she would definitely not be able to help but sneer. That person would not force him, but he would play both soft and hard ways, grinding himself until she agreed.

"What do I mean?" Mo Xiaoran murmured, looking at the anticipation in Mo Qing's eyes, she finally chose to tell the truth, "I really have my eye on him."

Mo Qing's heart twitched, and he felt that the road ahead was gloomy. Would he really want to let him watch his daughter become the first woman to marry the emperor and the prince since the founding of Dongyao Kingdom?
"Father, in fact, you don't have to be like this. Now that I am on the cusp of the wind and waves, there may be many people who want to see my jokes, but after a long time, they will naturally turn their attention away. Life is my own. Now, I know who I want to marry and what kind of life I want, Dad, don't worry too much." Mo Xiaoran comforted in a soft voice, she understood Mo Qing's thoughts, But after she had seen clearly her thoughts on Bai Qingluo, when he first said that he wanted to marry her, when he made his promise of a lifetime in front of many people, she His heart fell completely.

How could she fail such a man?

What's more, how could she get Bai Qingluo to treat her wholeheartedly?If she couldn't solve even the prime minister's stop, what qualifications did she have to stand on the cusp of the storm with him?
Seeing the firmness in her eyes, Mo Qing could only let out a long sigh, "That's all, it's up to you."

Maybe he is really old, and he doesn't understand what kind of thoughts are hidden in his daughter's heart.

The carriage stopped on the quiet path outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. Several wives and children were looking around outside the mansion. When the carriage stopped, Mo Xiaoran felt a burning stare before she got out of the car. She He bent down and got out of the carriage, looking in the direction of his line of sight.

Mo Qiuyu was standing right behind the eldest lady, with exquisite makeup painted on her pretty face, and an emerald green skirt embroidered with silver patterns, and a pair of white embroidered shoes on her feet. Seeing Mo Xiaoran looking over, her eyes Before he could restrain his jealousy and coldness, Mo Xiaoran looked straight at her.

The corners of her mouth curled up, and she smiled like a spring breeze, but when the smile fell into Mo Qiuyu's eyes, it was like a devil's danger, making her hairs stand on end, and she hid behind the madam more and more restlessly, her face From the looks of it, it seemed that Mo Xiaoran deliberately made things difficult for her, but who was not a human being present?How could he fail to see such clumsy methods of hers.

Mo Qing and Mo Xiaoran walked into the mansion together, followed by a large group of wives, concubines, sisters and brothers.

When they arrived at the main hall, Mo Xiaoran sat at the head. Before she could say a few words to the relatives, the housekeeper hurried in and bowed deeply to Mo Qing and Mo Xiaoran who were sitting upright.

"Master, miss, someone came from the palace, saying that all the things from the emperor have been shipped, please go out and take over, miss." The butler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and reported.

Mo Qiuyu, who was sitting next to Mrs. Xiashou, heard the words, a trace of jealousy flickered in his eyes, why should the person who gets the benefits always love her, Mo Xiaoran?It's just that the emperor's unwanted daughter-in-law actually has the ability to seduce King Qing. Thinking of Bai Qingluo's handsome face when she was among the crowd today and saw it standing on the street, Mo Qiuyu couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his heart.

Although she used to love Bai Zixu deeply, but now that the late emperor has fallen unexpectedly, she is still a big girl, so she naturally wants to plan for her future.

The moment she saw Bai Qingluogao sitting on a steed and leaving her sight gracefully, Mo Qiuyu decided that she must be King Qing's concubine!Must become the treasure on the tip of his heart.

For this purpose, she must get rid of Mo Xiaoran!

This damn fool not only took away the back seat that should belong to her, but even the man she fancy is now intimate with her. Mo Qiuyu watched in disbelief as she got up from the soft couch and was about to go outside the mansion. Mo Xiaoran, who accepted the reward, looked as if she was going to swallow her whole, it was extremely sinister.

How could Mo Xiaoran fail to notice Mo Qiuyu's hostility towards her?But she didn't care at all, she straightened her back, followed behind the steward, and walked towards the outside of the mansion, and saw a eunuch standing in front of four or five wooden boxes, seeing her coming, she smiled very attentively, and took the initiative to hit her, "The servant sees Miss Mo."

"These are all rewards from the emperor?" Mo Xiaoran pointed to the few wooden boxes placed on the empty bluestone ground in the front yard, with a gleam in her eyes.

Although money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible.

The eunuch nodded immediately: "Yes, these are sent by the emperor's servants from the House of Internal Affairs. Please ask Ms. Mo to count them so that the servants can go back and reply."

Mo Xiaoran squatted on the ground and opened the wooden boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry. Under the bright sunlight, the gold nuggets and silver ingots inside shone with brilliant yellow and white halos. A bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. , Nodding heavily, the palms still touch the money in the box one by one from time to time, enjoying the happy feeling of being surrounded by gold and silver.

"I don't know how Miss Mo's inventory is?" The eunuch suddenly said, interrupting Mo Xiaoran's unrestrained imagination. She came back to her senses in an instant, closed the wooden box, and coughed dryly: "There is nothing wrong, thank you for giving it to me. Send these."

"This is the duty of a slave," how could the eunuch dare to claim credit?This person in front of him is a big celebrity in front of the emperor and King Qing, it's too late for him to curry favor, how could he complain?
Mo Xiaoran was in a very good mood, and with a smile on her face, she took out a gold ingot from the wooden box and threw it to the eunuch casually, completely experiencing what it means to be an upstart!Now she can be regarded as getting rich overnight, according to the fact that in the imperial city, each family is about three gold bars for ten years, so the money in Mo Xiaoran's hands is probably enough for her to live her whole life.

After seeing off the eunuch, Mo Xiaoran even said that she was a little tired from the journey. After saying goodbye to Mo Qing, she prepared to go to the guest room to rest. As for the eldest lady, some wives, concubines and children who were also in the main hall, they all sat down, but Mo Xiaoran never From the moment he came in to the moment he left, he hardly had a conversation with anyone present except Mo Qing, and even when he left, he never looked at them once, so it can be said that he was not in the middle of nowhere.

Mo Qiuyu originally wanted to fight for his mother, but the eldest lady forcibly held back her anger!He even reminded Mo Qing that he should go to the guest room when he has time, and let him pay more attention to Mo Xiaoran's life. If there is anything missing, he can tell her directly, and she will make arrangements for Mo Xiaoran.

However, since she already knew her and Mo Qiuyu's nature, how could Mo Xiaoran be fooled.

The lady's deliberate flattery, isn't it just that the weasel pays the chicken New Year's greetings, isn't it kind?
