Zhao was a sharp-eyed person. Upon hearing this, she quickly stood up and said, "I still have things to do in my house, so I'll go back first."

Mo Zhaohua adjusted her hair bun and said, "Yueying, I am a little tired. Please go and see my great grandmother off for me."

Yueying, who was standing next to her, responded respectfully, "Yes, Princess."

Mo Zhaohua looked at Madam Mo, "Grandma, you are a lady of the imperial family, how could you let your great grandmother bully you?"

Madam Mo was helpless. "I can't do anything about it. If I really kick her out, everyone will know about it."

Mo Zhaohua deliberately said, "Grandmother came here just because she was angry about what happened in the past. Why didn't Third Sister say anything?"

Her main purpose today was to deepen the rift between Madam Mo and Mo Yaohua and force the latter to take action.

Madam Mo really felt resentful when she heard this, "Sister Yao is pregnant now, so it's not convenient for her to go out."

"That's wrong. Third sister is pregnant with a child so she'll be more willing to talk. If she has any feelings for grandma, she'll come over to protect us..."

Mo Zhaohua stopped talking and said, "Forget it, since my great grandmother has passed away, I won't say much, lest my third sister gets angry if she knows."

Sometimes it is more effective to say half of what you want to say than to say it all. As for what others think of the rest, it all depends on the individual.

Old Madam Mo was already very angry, and after Mo Zhaohua said this, she developed a prejudice against Mo Yaohua again.

It was clearly Mo Yaohua who caused the trouble in the first place, but the Mo family only caused trouble for her and Mo Yaohua never helped her out.

Comparing her with Mo Zhaohua, she felt even more caring, secretly thinking that Rong Qing was worthy of being the daughter of a rich family and was very good at raising children.

It was rare for her to show genuine concern for Mo Zhaohua. "How is your life in Prince Yu's Mansion? Is the prince treating you well?"

Mo Zhaohua spoke gently, "The prince treats me with great respect, has entrusted me with the management of the household affairs, and has also given me enough face in public."

In the eyes of Old Madam Mo at this moment, she was a woman favored by her husband, and she was quite happy for her.

The old lady forced a smile on her face, "That's good, that's good..."

"Don't worry, grandma. Your Majesty has granted me marriage. Your Majesty will not make things difficult for me."

Mo Zhaohua said this intentionally because he didn't want her to guess that Chu Xuanchi was sincere to her, so as to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

Madam Mo smiled and agreed, "Yes, the prince is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He will never disobey His Majesty and will only treat the princess well."

Mo Zhaohua pretended to be worried, "Grandma, you don't have to worry about me. But my third sister will be coming to the mansion next month, and I'm afraid she will suffer some grievances."

Madam Mo's smile froze. "With the mistress above her, life will indeed be difficult. I hope Prince Qi can have pity on her and help her more."

Mo Zhaohua reminded, "If Prince Qi really indulges in the affairs of the backyard, I am afraid that he will be criticized by others, and then the situation of the third sister will be even more difficult."

Madam Mo had never thought about this, and always thought that it was a good thing for Mo Yaohua to be favored. She was shocked when she heard this, "Then what should we do?"

Mo Yun became a laughing stock because he favored his concubine over his wife. If Prince Qi favored Mo Yaohua too much, there would definitely be rumors.

Mo Zhaohua shook his head. "I don't know about that either. My father is well-read. Grandmother, it would be better for you to discuss this with him."

She just wanted Madam Mo to see the difference between her and Mo Yaohua, and who was the one to rely on, but she didn't really want to help.

Madam Mo thought what she said made sense and nodded in agreement, "Okay..."

"The prince and I have to go to the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother and Consort De, so we can't stay any longer. Grandmother, please stay. You don't have to see me off."

Mo Zhaohua had achieved his goal. There was no need to stay any longer, nor did he want to face Old Madam Mo. He just wanted to find Chu Xuanchi.

Madam Mo immediately stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off."

Mo Zhaohua took Yueying to the main hall in the front yard, "Your Majesty."

Chu Xuanchi glanced at Mo Yun and said, "Lord Mo, the king and the princess should go to the palace to pay their respects. We will talk next time."

Mo Zhaohua saw Mo Yun following him and stopped him in time, "Father, please take a rest. You don't have to see me off in person."

Mo Yun's forehead was covered with sweat, and he immediately stopped and bowed to them, "I respectfully send you off, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Today, Mo Zhaohua was not there to accompany him in the front yard. He faced Chu Xuanchi alone and realized how easy it was to return home last time.

Chu Xuanchi had a cold face from beginning to end, a stern expression, and eyes like knives. He had to be careful with every word he said.

After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage of Prince Yu's palace, Chu Xuanchi asked with concern, "Zhao Zhao has been gone for quite a while, did he suffer any loss?"

Mo Zhaohua chuckled, "With the status of Princess Yu, if I can still suffer losses in the Mo family, wouldn't this head be a decoration?"

Chu Xuanchi held her soft hand and caressed it gently, "My Zhao Zhao is very smart and wise, I am just worrying too much."

royal palace.

Chu Xuanchi and his wife went to see Emperor Wenzong first.

Emperor Wenzong had long known about Mo Zhaohua's power and authority in the palace.

This was not a big deal. Since he had arranged a marriage for Chu Xuanchi, it was expected that Mo Zhaohua would be in charge of the household affairs.

It's just a royal palace after all. As long as the fifth brother doesn't form a clique for personal gain, he won't care.

If Mo Zhaohua could manage the Prince Yu's Mansion well and show true feelings to Lao Wu, he would be happy to see it happen.

Chu Xuanchi and his wife met Emperor Wenzong, had a brief chat with him, and then went to Shoukang Palace to meet Empress Dowager Yuande.

The Queen Mother was delighted to see Mo Zhaohua, and became even more delighted when she learned that Chu Xuanchi would also attend the banquet.

She smiled and narrowed her eyes into slits, "Okay, Chi'er is very good. It's really different after getting married."

Chu Xuanchi said: "My grandson is dull and only knows how to fight in battle. He still needs the princess to teach him about the ways of the world."

Empress Dowager Yuande pretended to be angry and said, "Nonsense, Chi'er is not stupid. It's your father who treated you badly back then..."

When she mentioned the past, she stopped talking in time and changed the subject abruptly, "Fortunately, His Majesty chose Zhao Zhao as your princess."

Chu Xuanchi sneered in his heart. Mo Zhaohua was not the choice of Emperor Wenzong, but her own request, and he was willing to marry her.

Mo Zhaohua glanced at Empress Dowager Yuande with some guilt, but saw that she was still calm, as if she didn't know the truth about the arranged marriage.

Because of Mo Zhaohua, Chu Xuanchi stayed in Shoukang Palace for a while longer. Emperor Wenzong was also very pleased to hear the news.

He smiled at Li Tuquan, "It seems that my marriage is really good. The fifth child is willing to chat with mother for so long."

Li Tuquan followed his words and said, "Yes, the Prince of Yu not only came to the palace to pay respects more frequently, but also attended the palace banquet today."

Emperor Wenzong took a sip of tea and said, "The Mo family girl is indeed quite capable. No wonder the sixth brother took the initiative to ask me for permission to marry her."

Li Tuquan stepped forward to add more tea for him. "I heard that Princess Yu has always been raised by Madam Mo herself. It seems that Madam Mo is also..."

His words came to an abrupt halt as he remembered that Rong Qing and Mo Yun had divorced long ago and it was inappropriate to call her Madam Mo.

Rong Qing had already submitted the divorce letter to the Ministry of Rites, and the news was spreading all over the city. Emperor Wenzong also learned about it and his expression changed immediately.
