The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 222 Butterflies are free

"Isn't what your brother said clear enough?" Mo Yuyang later went to the palace and told the queen everything. The queen really didn't understand why Mo Yuanyue had to go out at this critical moment. "Do you know what the consequences will be for you if this matter is discovered?"

"You are a princess. Yes, you can do whatever you want. No one can stop you. But you must remember that you are the princess of Darong, the legitimate princess of Darong, and you represent the face of Darong!"

"Once your reputation is tainted, do you know what the people of the world will say about you? Where are you going to put the face of the royal family?!" The queen was so disappointed in her. Both Mo Yuanyue and Mo Yuyang were children raised by her and Xu Zhongshi, so how come they were so different?

"If you have the ability, you can do whatever you want, but now you are neither married nor have a title, and you haven't even left the palace to build a mansion. Everything depends on your father and brother. You only have the title of princess, and you can't do anything!"

The Queen had always doted on Mo Yuanyue and given her whatever she wanted, but there was no room for negotiation on this matter. Mo Yuanyue's marriage not only affected the rest of her life, but also Mo Yuyang's power in the court, as well as the Xu family's status in the court. Mo Yuanyue must not be allowed to do whatever she wanted!

Mo Yuanyue's eyes turned red with grievance, and the arrogance just now disappeared: "Mother, can't I decide my own marriage?"

"Yuer, you are a princess. Since you were born in a royal family, you should forget about your freedom." Looking at Mo Yuanyue's appearance, the queen couldn't bear to say any cruel words, so she could only soften her tone to comfort Mo Yuanyue.

"Not only can you not make the decision on your marriage, but even your mother can't make the decision either," the queen sighed, "your mother can only try her best to find a good marriage for you. If your father intervenes, your mother will be helpless."

“This time the Kingdom of Yuan is asking for marriage for the princess. If luckily your father finds a way, you won’t have to marry him. But if anything goes wrong with your reputation, your mother won’t be able to protect you.” This was all the Queen could do.

Mo Yuanyue's face wrinkled into a ball, tears of humiliation kept falling down, and she looked into the Queen's eyes unwillingly: "If I don't marry him this time, will my mother marry me off in the future for my brother's future?"

The queen was speechless after hearing Mo Yuanyue's question.

Mo Yuyang understood when he saw the Queen's expression, and laughed at himself: "So, the reason why Queen Mother doesn't want me to marry to Yuan Kingdom is because she wants me to stay in Darong and marry for my brother's throne in the future."

Mo Yuanyue immediately felt that the Queen's kindness to her in the past was all fake. She looked at the Queen with disappointment, and after a while she roared, "Mother! Am I not your child?!"

The Queen was speechless due to Mo Yuanyue's questioning and could only remain silent.

Mo Yuanyue nodded repeatedly as if she understood, then ran out crying.

"Yu'er!" The Queen was worried that something might happen to Mo Yuanyue, so she quickly asked the palace maid to follow Mo Yuanyue.

Mo Yuanyue ran to the Imperial Garden crying, hid behind a rockery and cried alone.

"Why? Am I not your child? Why do you have to consider everything for your brother? Even my marriage has to be sacrificed for your brother! Why?"

Mo Yuanyue stayed in the imperial garden for a long time. The palace maids and eunuchs searched almost all the six palaces and almost alarmed Mo Cheng. Mo Yuanyue returned to Pengyi Palace alone.

However, Mo Yuanyue did not go to see the Queen again. Even though she knew that the Queen had sent many people to look for her, Mo Yuanyue did not want to see the Queen again.

The Queen was relieved when she learned that Mo Yuanyue had returned. Although Mo Yuanyue didn't want to see her, the Queen knew in her heart that this incident might become a rift between mother and daughter from now on.

"I'm glad you're back. There's no need to disturb her anymore." In response to Yu Hen's report, the Queen could only say this tiredly, and then let Yu Hen go.

Only after everyone in the bedroom was dismissed did the queen finally relax.

Bichi was serving the queen and asked worriedly, "My queen, what should we do if the princess is like this?"

The queen closed her eyes and let Bichi take off her headdress. She replied, "Let her rest and take good care of herself first. Don't let her leave the palace. We can talk about other things after we have dealt with the affairs of Yuan Kingdom."

"What the princess said today..." Although it is true, it is indeed cruel. I don't know if the princess can accept it.

The queen sighed: "This is the fate she must face as a princess. It's too late to know now."

"But can the princess accept it?" Bichi has watched Mo Yuanyue grow up since she was a child. She knows Mo Yuanyue's temper as well as the queen does. She is willful and arrogant. Except in front of Mo Yuanli, she always acts arrogantly towards everyone. Now she suddenly finds out that everything is done to make her pave the way for Mo Yuyang. Can she accept it?

"You have to accept it even if you don't want to!" The queen opened her eyes suddenly, "As a princess of Darong, if you can't handle this, how can you be a legitimate princess?!"

Bitch nodded carefully and gently took off the queen's earrings.

"Keep a close eye on her these few days and never let her leave the palace!"

The Queen would never allow Mo Yuanyue to ruin everything.

"Yes." Although Bichi felt sorry for Mo Yuanyue, there was nothing she could do as the cruel reality lay before her.

"Your Majesty, today the Sixth Princess had a big fight with the Queen in Pengyi Palace and ran away. The Queen sent people to search the entire palace. Although she didn't let anyone know, the news still spread throughout the six palaces."

Concubine Su nodded, and Mo Yuanli guessed the cause of the incident: "I'm afraid that Sixth Sister is still thinking about leaving the palace and had a quarrel with the Queen."

Mo Yuanli only thought that Mo Yuanyue made such a big fuss about this matter just for those aides, but Concubine Su understood the real reason.

"Let them be, the Sixth Princess knows what to do next." Concubine Su was not worried that this quarrel would affect their plans. On the contrary, the quarrel between Mo Yuanyue and the Queen might have cleared a lot of obstacles for their actions.

Mo Yuanyue thought for a moment and said, "Mother, do I still need to give it a push?"

Concubine Su shook her head: "No need. If you do too much, it will arouse the Queen's suspicion, which will be counterproductive."

The best way would be to stop at the right time, so that the Queen would not be able to find any evidence against Mo Yuanyue and Mo Yuanyue would fall into the trap they set.

"it is good."

"My dear, look! This butterfly is so beautiful! My dear, look at it!"

The nobleman looked sick and dull, and he raised his eyes lazily and said, "What's the point of looking good? It's the same. I'm trapped in this prison and can never get out..."

Then, the nobleman sighed in self-mockery and said to himself: "How can a butterfly be the same as me? Butterflies are free. It's only me who is not free..."
