The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

The Queen Mother was not reassured after hearing what he said, and continued, "Besides Ningning's position as the Crown Prince, you also need to be more caring towards the Second Prince An'an. He has a hard life, his mother is like that... and now it is not easy for a virtuous imperial concubine to raise him, so you, as a father, must also fulfill your responsibilities. I don't ask you to treat An'an the same way as that child, but you should at least be able to treat him well on the surface."

The second prince Mo Cheng'an has been raised by the Queen Mother since he was born. The Queen Mother's feelings for the second prince are even deeper than for Mo Chengning. It is completely understandable for her to come out and stand up for the second prince now.

Mo Xiao frowned and said, "I have my own arrangements for how to educate An An. Please don't interfere with me in this matter, mother."

The Queen Mother's face darkened: "Why are you..."

"Mother, you said that I would favor Concubine Chen's child, but why don't you favor An An?"

Mo Xiao's words left the Queen Mother speechless.

Mo Xiao continued, "Of course I love my children. I have my own ideas on how to educate them. Please don't interfere. Otherwise, it will cause them to quarrel with each other, which is not good."

The Queen Mother didn't expect Mo Xiao to be so tough on this matter and refused to give in even a single step.

She thought that Mo Xiao would ignore the Second Prince after having a child with Concubine Chen, or even have a little more sympathy for this unfortunate child. But she was wrong. Mo Xiao's attitude towards the Second Prince remained the same as usual, and did not change at all because of Concubine Chen's pregnancy.

For a moment, the Queen Mother didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

However, her son has always been strong and is willing to be polite in front of her. If she really annoys him, he will not give anyone face.

The Queen Mother didn't want to create such a awkward situation with her son over something that hadn't happened yet.

After a moment's silence, the Queen Mother said to Mo Xiao, "Okay, I will not interfere with the education of the princes."

Mo Xiao's expression softened a little: "Thank you, mother."

"But you need to release all the concubines in the harem." The Queen Mother looked at Mo Xiao and said seriously, "The Concubine Chen's pregnancy is a great joy. What you did has made everyone so nervous that they can't even live a peaceful life. In this case, won't they be even more dissatisfied with Concubine Chen?"

"Besides, these concubines have done nothing wrong in entering the palace. It's ok for you to ignore them, but at least you should be a little nicer to them, right?"

Mo Xiao and the Queen Mother looked at each other for a moment, then took a step back: "Okay, I'll listen to mother."

"But if I find out that someone is doing harm to Concubine Chen and the child, then mother, please don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

Queen Mother: “…I understand.”

Mo Xiao nodded and waved behind him: "I brought back a lot of good things from the royal court, and I left some for mother. Mother, take a look and if you like them, you can keep them for fun."

The Queen Mother looked at the large boxes that were brought up, and her smile widened a little: "The Emperor is very thoughtful."

After all, he is her son, and no matter what, she still has feelings for him as a mother.

"I have just returned to the court, and there are many things that need to be dealt with. I will take my leave for now. I will come to visit my mother when I have more time."

"Go ahead and do your thing."

Mo Xiao nodded and walked out of the Queen Mother's bedroom.

As soon as he went out, the expression on Mo Xiao's face became gloomier and his eyes became colder.

"Go and ask what happened during the time I left the capital, no matter how big or small, especially about the Concubine Chen and the Queen Mother."
