Legitimate Daughter Never Be Concubine - C43
Anyone who had seen Yun Zhishui would understand that that person had no heart. Everything he did had a certain purpose.
In his eyes, one could not see anyone else. He would even rationally calculate whether this person was worth looking at more than his family members.
He didn’t like anything, but he planned everything. He was imprisoned within the Yun Family’s large cage, yet, he was protecting the Yun Family. He was a contradictory person, but he was also a terrifying person.
The feeling of stopping the flow of water? That was a joke. The one who was the funniest at the beginning of the dynasty.
“Is the Cloud stop water you speak of really a person?” Su Jinyue only thought that Mo Li and Luo Mingyu had almost turned a person into a divine being.
“Naturally, it’s a person.” Mo Li smiled and looked at Su Jinyue. Suddenly, he remembered something, so he said, “Today, Yun Che will stop the flow of water and we will go to the palace. You will see it when the Thousand Autumn Meet begins. Then you will know why we all admire him. ”
When Su Jinyue heard this, she was also filled with anticipation. After all, she had heard so many times about the Cloud Stopping Water.
However, she did not forget what was even more important today, the young master of Qianyu Villa! This was the person she needed to deal with the most. Only by getting him to agree to help would the Moon Sinking Tower open normally. If the young master of the Thousand Feather Villa didn’t help, by the time she made a satisfactory restaurant, a month’s time would probably have passed.
By then the cucumber vegetables will be cold.
With this mindset, Su Jinyue began to close her eyes and rest all the way. She planned to raise her spirits after arriving at the palace to avoid any problems.
On one side, Su Jinyue had her eyes closed. On the other, Mo Li was looking at Su Jinyue. Mo Li only felt that this person was very interesting after a few encounters.
He had seen a lot of women, and had seen a lot of mavericks. However, she wasn’t a maverick, and had never cared about rules. When she talked to him, she was respectful on the surface, but in fact, there was no respect in her eyes or actions.
He rarely paid attention to the rules of others, because most people would naturally follow them in front of him. According to Yun Ya, he was born to kneel before others.
Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was more or less the same. However, she … Mo Li didn’t know how to describe Su Jinyue, but she was different from what he knew of her.
There was no such thing as a fake smile, nor was there any such thing as vanity, nor was there any desire to eat his gaze. I don’t have those ridiculous infatuations of love.
She made him feel that he was still a normal person, not a person’s delicacy that could be eaten at any time in the eyes of others. Thus, he somewhat liked the relationship he had with her.
If he really needed a princess consort, that would be enough.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t a second Su Jinyue. If he kept her, how could he find another Su Jinyue for Luo Mingyu in the future?
As Mo Li thought of this, he felt that it was a pity.
When Su Jinyue was about to fall asleep, the carriage stopped. Su Jinyue opened her eyes and saw that the car door was already opened. Mo Li was standing outside and extended his hand towards her.
Su Jinyue yawned and put her hand on his palm.
The woman’s palm was warm and soft without any bones. It gave him an extremely good feeling. For a moment, Mo Li even had an absurd thought of holding it for a lifetime.
Of course, it was only for a moment.
Then, Mo Li dispelled this thought.
“Your Highness.” After getting off the carriage, Su Jinyue turned around and saw a lady dressed in green palace attire holding a wooden plaque in her hand. She respectfully greeted Mo Li.
Hearing this, Mo Li nodded and said, “Aunt Ming Zhu.”
This woman was the grand maid, Ming Zhu, who was at the queen’s side. Speaking of this pearl, she was a legendary figure. Many people in the capital had heard of her.
Her ancestors were all merchants. When her family had fallen, she was sold to the empress’ family and then followed the empress into the imperial palace.
All the beautiful women in the palace climbed up, except Aunt Ming Zhu, who wholeheartedly wanted to leave the palace for the sake of her lover.
However, she never expected that her beloved son, who she adored with all her heart, would take the silver that she obtained from the palace and become a wealthy merchant. He even married and took a concubine. He had already forgotten about her.
With a heart full of resentment, Aunt Ming Zhu begged the empress for mercy, bestowed the death of her lover’s family, and even went to jail for it. But even so, she was still the queen’s favorite.
It was probably because of her heartbreak that the empress thought more highly of her.
After this memory appeared in Su Jinyue’s mind, she just wanted to sigh. Ming Zhu’s character was rather fierce. With her character, if she were to be even more modern, she would be able to lead a good life. Unfortunately, this was the Ming Yue Empire, where both men and women were inferior to each other, destined to suffer for the rest of their lives.
Wasn’t it the same for her as well?
At this moment, her heart was in love with Luo Mingyu, but she didn’t dare to think about what she would do if a girl wanted to marry him instead of being afraid of his so-called deceitful wife.
If it were a woman of this age, she wouldn’t care if she married a concubine, but she did. This would definitely be a big matter in the future. If she didn’t allow it, she was afraid that others would say the same. If she was right, it would be hard for her to accept. No matter what, there won’t be a good result.
Thinking about that, Su Jinyue frowned.
Mo Li had been observing Su Jinyue the entire way, and he saw that after seeing Mingzhu’s aunt, she didn’t seem to be in the right.
“Your Highness, Miss Su, we’ve arrived at Phoenix Luan Hall. Your servant still needs to fetch some things for the esteemed empress, but she’s already retreated to her left and right. I’d like to invite the two of you in.”
Ming Zhu respectfully left.
Mo Li pulled Su Jinyue’s hand and squeezed it, “You better be more alert. Although I don’t know what you’re thinking, if Mother sees you like this, I’m afraid she won’t be happy.”
Mo Li’s words made Su Jinyue’s spirit rise up. She looked at him and said, “I’m not thinking about anything. I’m just thinking that in this world, being born a woman is destined to be unfair.”
Hearing this, Mo Li did not say anything.
The two of them entered Phoenix Luan Hall together, only to see that there was no one around them. Just as Aunt Ming Zhu had said, the empress had already retreated left and right.
As he walked into the main hall of Phoenix Luan Hall, he saw a woman wearing a black phoenix robe sitting on top of a phoenix. She had a face that only looked like she was thirty years old.
She sat there, her face as delicate as if she were not a real person.
At his side, he was playing with a red bead.
When she saw Su Jinyue and Mo Li enter, she raised her head and looked at them with her sharp eyes.
“This son greets mother.” Mo Li knelt on the ground and respectfully said.
When Su Jinyue saw this, she quickly knelt down, “This humble one, Su Jinyue, greets the empress. The empress has lived for thousands of years.” Su Jinyue lowered her head and tried her best not to look at the queen.
She hoped to minimize the empress’s search for her.
But unfortunately, even so, the Queen still had an excited expression and said to Su Jinyue, “Su family girl, raise your head and let me take a look.”
When Su Jinyue heard this, she secretly complained. However, she still obediently raised her head and looked at the empress. The empress’s eyes were filled with slight emotion. Then he nodded and said with a complicated expression, “As expected, she is very similar to your mother.”
“The empress knows my mother?” Su Jinyue pretended to be curious and asked.
“Of course we know each other. The marriage between you and Xiao Jiu was arranged personally by me and your mother. He thought that he would be able to achieve a perfect marriage. He didn’t expect that… “To think that it would turn out like this. What a sight.” As the Queen spoke, she walked down from the phoenix chair and helped Su Jinyue up, saying, “Girl, I regret that I did not personally set you up for Xiao Jiu to cause you harm.”
The queen looked guilty.
Su Jinyue only felt that the empress had a huge grudge against the crown prince. To tell his future daughter-in-law in front of his own son, that he regretted not betrothing her to his youngest son?
Was this really his mother?
How much did the empress hate Mo Li to do such a thing?
