The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 212 Let her expose herself

Concubine Su immediately spotted the maid behind Mo Yuxuan and signaled to Nanny Hua to send everyone else away.

Nanny Hua understood and waved her hand to have all the palace maids and eunuchs go down.

Mo Xuanxuan was a little excited and quickly made room for the person behind him: "Mother, I have brought the person here."

That’s right, the person behind Mo Yuxuan is Xia Yanxiang.

Xia Yanxiang took two steps forward and saluted to Concubine Su: "Disciple Xia Yanxiang greets the Concubine, Princess Xihe."

"Yan Yan, get up quickly. We are waiting for you!"

Mo Yuanli then realized that the distinguished guest that Concubine Su was talking about was Xia Yanxiang: "Third Miss?"

Xia Yanxiang stood up, looked at Mo Yuanli and replied, "Yes."

There was no time for them to exchange pleasantries. Concubine Su got straight to the point: "Yan Yan, are you here this time for the matter of the envoy from Yuan Kingdom?"

"Yes." Xia Yanxiang did not hide anything. "I already know that the envoy from Yuan State wants to marry the princess, so I came to the palace to discuss countermeasures with Your Majesty."

Concubine Su said: "Yuan is just a small country. Even if you want to marry, the emperor will definitely not agree to let the princess marry there."

"Yes, the princess is of noble status. Plus, the Sixth Princess is the only one of marriageable age. The Emperor will definitely not marry the Sixth Princess to him. At that time, he will most likely just randomly select a minister's daughter to marry her off as a princess."

Concubine Su frowned and said, "If I confer a title randomly on someone, will Yuan Kingdom agree? Besides, even if I don't marry a real princess, maybe Yuan Kingdom will accept it if I marry a daughter of a royal family."

"Yuanguo will certainly not accept it, so I need to come to Your Majesty now to discuss countermeasures." Xia Yanxiang certainly knew that Yuanguo would not agree, otherwise in her previous life, Xia Qianxiang would not have married three husbands right after she arrived there and been tortured to death.

"Even if Yuan is forced to accept it by force, the daughter of a minister who marries him will not have a good ending, so the emperor will be very cautious before deciding who will marry him."

Now that Xia Qianxiang has left the Xia family, Xia Liu certainly can't push Xia Qianxiang out to marry Mo Yuanyue.

However, Xia Yanxiang must get back the grievances and injustices that Xia Qianxiang suffered in her previous life.

"So, I have to marry the princess." Xia Yanxiang had made up her mind long ago. Since Mo Cheng and Mo Yuyang were reluctant to use a better way to help Mo Yuanyue solve this situation, Mo Yuanyue had to face the fate she deserved.

Concubine Su and Mo Xuanxuan were both silent. Only Mo Yuanli raised a question: "Miss San means that the Sixth Princess must marry him?"

"Yes." Xia Yanxiang's tone was very firm, "This is the inevitable fate of the Sixth Princess."

"The Queen won't agree." Concubine Su was not questioning Xia Yanxiang, but she was having trouble with the Queen. "And I'm afraid that the Left Prime Minister and Prince Yuan will not allow the Sixth Princess to marry into such a small country."

"What if they have to marry the Sixth Princess off?"

Mo Yuxuan suddenly understood what Xia Yanxiang meant: "Third sister, do you mean, staff?"

Mo Xuanxuan's address attracted the attention of Concubine Su and Mo Yuanli, especially Mo Yuanli's eyes, which showed a hint of gossip.

"..." Although Xia Yanxiang knew the relationship between Mo Yuxuan and Xia Qianxiang, she was still a little uncomfortable with calling him Mo Yuxuan. However, the current situation was not suitable for talking about such trivial matters. "Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Luo told me before he went to prison that the Sixth Princess had several aides brought back from Jiangnan, and we could start with them."

"Second brother told me about this before and asked me to follow Third Miss's arrangements." Mo Xuanxuan also discovered his slip of the tongue and quickly corrected himself, with two red clouds flying around his ears.

Concubine Su nodded: "Since Yu An has made arrangements, that's fine. But these people must be in the hands of the left prime minister now, right? How can we expose this matter?"

Xia Yanxiang smiled and said, "This is why I entered the palace."

"I hope that Your Majesty and Princess Xihe can get the Sixth Princess to take the initiative to expose her staff."

That’s a good idea!

Suddenly, Aunt Hua came in: "Your Majesty, Princess, the Queen seems to be coming this way."

Concubine Su's expression changed immediately. She waved and asked Aunt Hua to take Xia Yanxiang to the back to hide first.

Could it be that Xia Yanxiang's entry into the palace was exposed? Could it be that the spy beside Mo Yuchen was now watching Xia Yanxiang's every move?

The three people in Anyue Palace sat down to drink tea calmly, and heard the eunuch call out: "The Queen is here!"

Concubine Su and the other two stood up slowly and saluted the queen: "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen!"

The Queen didn't look too worried about the Yuan Kingdom's envoys. Instead, she looked gentle: "Everyone, please stand up! Imperial Concubine Su, it's so lively here today, I want to join in the fun. I wonder if you would be happy to have an extra cup of tea?"

Concubine Su smiled slightly and said, "It is my honor that the Queen has shown me the favor. Aunt Hua, serve the tea."

"Yes."

The queen naturally walked to the upper seat and sat down, looking at Mo Yuanli: "Xihe has returned to the palace to live these days. Are you used to it? Speaking of which, the young master is now half a year old, why can't I see him?"

Mo Yuanli's expression was exactly the same as Concubine Su's: "Replying to the Queen, Che'er just finished making a fuss and is taking a nap now. He is just a naughty boy and will never amount to anything."

The Queen's smile did not reach her eyes, and she looked at Mo Xuanxuan again: "Is Prince Yu here today? Speaking of which, something went wrong with the last concubine selection, and Prince Yu did not choose a concubine. I wonder if the Imperial Concubine has found a candidate for you recently?"

Mo Yuxuan obviously couldn't hide his emotions like Mo Yuanli and Concubine Su: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. I am not yet twenty years old, so there is no need to rush to choose a concubine!"

Mo Xuanxuan's tone was a bit harsh, but the Queen did not seem dissatisfied.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Su pursed her lips and explained a few words on behalf of Mo Xuanxuan: "Don't mind, Queen. Xuan'er was scolded by his father a few days ago and he is angry. I hope that Queen will be magnanimous and not get angry with a junior like him."

Scolding? Maybe he was dissatisfied because he didn't get the original Ministry of Revenue of Prince Luo!

The queen did not show any displeasure on her face. Instead, she comforted Concubine Su: "Don't mind Concubine Su. Children will feel a little angry when they are scolded by their father. Don't take it to heart."

Xia Yanxiang was listening to the roundabout ways of these people from behind, and gradually she had an idea in her mind.

There was nothing interesting in the following words. The Queen just mentioned a few words about Mo Yuxuan's marriage, but was pushed back by Mo Yuxuan's attitude and Concubine Su's neither soft nor hard words, and didn't say much.
