Chapter 135 Princess Luo gave it to the little prince

He Luo quietly walked to Tu's side and said, "Madam, the table is ready.

Tu nodded and walked forward. Just as she was about to salute Mo Yuyang, the servant at the door suddenly announced, "His Royal Highness Prince Luo has arrived!"

Everyone was shocked. His Royal Highness Prince Luo actually came?

Mo Yuyang and Xia Pinxiang, who had been watching the show silently, were also surprised. The two looked at each other, and Xia Pinxiang stood up, took two steps down, and saluted with everyone else.

"Meet His Royal Highness Prince Luo."

Mo Yuchen was twirling a folding fan in his right hand. He was wearing a dark purple python robe and a white fox cloak. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "No need to be polite, everyone."

After saying that, he took off his cloak and let Yizhu who was standing beside him take it.

"Your Majesty is here too? What a coincidence! It's so rare that your Majesty goes out for a banquet and ends up at the same place as me." Mo Yuchen feigned surprise and saluted.

Mo Yuyang immediately became alert: "Second brother, you are joking. A few days ago, when the concubine came to visit her parents, I wanted to go with her, but I was busy with government affairs. Today, the Minister of Rites is holding a banquet at his residence, so I have to come, right? Second brother, didn't you accompany Princess Youchun out of the city for a tour today?"

After he finished speaking, Mo Yuyang was surprised for a moment: "I am confused. How can I say such things in the residence of the Minister of Rites? The residence is the future in-laws of my second brother, how could my second brother not come? I was indeed not considerate in what I said, but Miss Third is virtuous and kind, so she shouldn't mind my unintentional mistake, right?"

Xia Yanxiang stood up and said stiffly, "I dare not."

No one made a sound. After hearing what Mo Yuyang "let slip of the tongue", their eyes changed and they looked at Xia Yanxiang with sympathy and mockery.

Li Guan's anger suddenly rose and he took a step forward.

Yun and the others were too late to hold Li Guan back, and everyone's attention was drawn to her. However, she changed her words: "Aunt, can't we start the feast? Why haven't we started yet?"

The childish words startled everyone, and Tu quickly continued, "Yes, yes, yes, Your Highnesses, the table is ready. Please move."

Mo Yuyang stood up from the main seat, and everyone followed him to the banquet.

Mo Yuchen stood there without moving, and waited until all the male guests had left before the female guests started to go to the banquet.

Xia Yanxiang and the others probably guessed that Mo Chen had something to say, so except Dongfang Xujiang who had to leave, Li Guan, Yun, Shen, Tu and Yue Qing did not leave.

"Madam, Yu An had urgent matters today and was late. Please forgive me." Mo Yuchen bowed to Tu and apologized.

"If His Royal Highness Prince Luo is not coming, just send someone to tell him. You leave your fiancée to be ridiculed by others. Do you think we are easy to bully?" After everyone left, Li Guan had nothing to worry about and was not polite to Mo Yuchen at all.

"Guan'er!" Yun scolded her, "Don't be rude!"

Shen also stood up at this time: "Awu, Li girl is right, Yan'er's family is not easy to bully!"

"Madam, you misunderstood." Mo Yuchen was a little flustered. How come after his uncle left, Yanyan still had so many powerful family members to stop him? "Yu An was indeed busy today and failed to send someone to inform him. It was Yu An's inconsiderateness."

"Can the matter be smoothed over with just one sentence of inconsideration? Just because of your inconsideration, Yan'er has suffered so many cold stares in vain?" Shen was angry. What does Prince Luo want to do?

Mo Yuchen frowned, he knew that if he didn't come, those freeloaders would definitely gossip about him, so he rushed here. He never thought that Mo Yuyang was here to encourage those people's arrogance!

Seeing that he was still a little angry, Li Guan became even angrier: "You..."

Before he could finish his words, Tu and Yun interrupted him at the same time: "Okay."

"Your Highness Prince Luo is busy with many affairs and government affairs. It's too late. No matter how much you say, it's useless. Since Your Highness is here, please take your seat." Tu said expressionlessly. No matter who bullied her daughter, don't expect to get a good face from her.

Mo Yuchen knew that the Tu family hated to see Yanyan bullied, so this must have angered his mother-in-law: "Thank you, ma'am."

“But please give us an answer as soon as possible, Your Highness Prince Luo. If the imperial physician says that you no longer want our Yan'er, we will not argue with him and will ask for an imperial decree to cancel the engagement. This will not bring a bad reputation to Your Highness Prince Luo and will also prevent people from slandering our Yan'er openly or secretly. Even if Yan'er is not a good person, she is our treasure in the palms of our three mansions after all, and we can't bear to let others trample on her.” The calmest and most decisive person was Yun Wu, who calmly found a way out for Mo Yuchen.

Mo Yuchen was startled. How could he have forgotten about this?

If the wife of the Right Prime Minister and the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an go together to ask the emperor to cancel the engagement, there is a possibility that the emperor will just walk down the stairs.

"Your Highness Prince Luo, don't be anxious. It is unlucky to break off the engagement in the first month of the year. The two ladies will not make things difficult for Your Highness." Yue Qing finally said slowly. She knew Prince Luo's attitude towards Yan'er, and they still left him a way out.

Mo Yuchen was silent, pondered for a moment, and looked up at Xia Yanxiang: "Madams, can you let me talk to Yanyan alone?"

"What do you want to say?" Li Guan disagreed!

"Guan'er!" Yun stopped Li Guan from taking Xia Yanxiang away, "Of course you can."

Several ladies walked aside, and the unwilling Li Guan was also forcibly pulled aside by Yun.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Knowing Mo Yuchen's concerns, Xia Yanxiang hit the nail on the head as soon as she opened her mouth.

Mo Yuchen frowned: "But are we just going to let outsiders speculate? Do you want me to send someone to suppress it?"

Xia Yanxiang shook her head: "No need. No matter how many rumors there are, they will eventually be shattered in the face of the truth. No matter how much you talk, it will be useless."

"But..." How could he bear it when they were poking your spine with such harsh words and throwing dirty water on you?

"Four days, just four days will be enough. When the young master holds his full moon banquet on the Lantern Festival, I will have a way to prove my innocence. The more rumors spread outside now, the more advantageous it will be by then. As long as you don't express your opinion, the more people speculate, the better the effect will be.*

Mo Yuchen still frowned and nodded reluctantly, still somewhat unwillingly: "When this is over, I will go and avenge you."

Xia Yanxiang smiled and poked his forehead with her hand: "Be careful."

Only then did Mo Yuchen relax his brows and smile: "Don't worry, I have the evidence! No one can touch me now."

"Why are you wearing it today?" Mo Yuchen looked at the hairpin and felt very happy.

"I thought you weren't coming, so I put it on your back."

Mo Yuchen extended his right hand to touch Xia Yanxiang's warm face. His eyes lingered on her lips. He licked his lips restrainedly and said, "Your lip balm looks good too. It's a good thing you don't usually like to dress up."

Otherwise, with so many people admiring her, Mo Yuchen would not be sure that he could win her over.

"The lip balm looks nice, why not give it to His Royal Highness Prince Luo?"

Mo Yuchen lowered his head, and under the gaze of everyone over there, he moved closer to Xia Yanxiang, but deliberately kept a distance so that they could see him, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Princess Luo is also pretty, why not give her to the little prince?"

Xia Yanxiang took a step back: "You wish!"

After saying that, he turned and left. Mo Yuchen tapped his head with his folding fan and followed him.

After the meal, Mo Yuchen said he had something to do and left first, leaving Xiang Yuan alone with Xia Yanxiang.
