Chu Xuanhan and others had no choice but to bow and leave.
Concubine Liang leaned back in her chair, "Caiyu, do you think I was wrong?"
Caiyu brought a cushion for her to lean on and feel more comfortable. "Why does your Majesty ask this of your servant?"
"If I had helped Han'er and let her marry Mo Zhaohua, this wouldn't have happened."
Concubine Liang believed that if she was willing to speak for Chu Xuanhan, Mo Zhaohua might not be married to Chu Xuanchi.
In the past, she had often heard Emperor Wenzong praising Mo Zhaohua, and had also inquired about his opinions, and it seemed that he truly admired him.
Now that Rong Xiao has made great contributions in the western frontier, the power of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion is bound to rise to a higher level. She already regretted it.
In addition, Emperor Wenzong praised Mo Zhaohua in public at the banquet just now, which made her regret even more that she had made a mistake in her judgment.
How could Caiyu dare to say that she was wrong? "It's over, your majesty, don't think too much about it. Our princess is also a very good person."
Concubine Liang said angrily, "If she was really good, she wouldn't have disregarded the reputation of Prince Qi's Mansion and returned to the General's Mansion in the middle of the night to complain."
"This..." Caiyu would offend Yuchi Jiuyue if she agreed, and would offend Concubine Liang if she refuted, so she simply hesitated and did not respond.
Concubine Liang frowned, "If that concubine was not unreliable, I would not have to save face for Princess Qi today."
If the concubine was useful, she would leave Yuchi Jiuyue alone so that the two of them could compete for favor. But now she can only rely on the latter.
"It's really difficult for Your Majesty." Caiyu couldn't say anything else. It was not her turn to comment on the affairs of Prince Qi's Mansion.
Concubine Liang suddenly stood up and said, "Bring me some writing materials. I need to write a letter home."
Chu Xuanhan can also marry a concubine and a concubine, so she can't make a mistake again this time.
Since she had poor vision and her son only cared about love, she looked for someone reliable to help.
"Yes, your Majesty." Caiyu went over to support her, and at the same time ordered the palace servants to go to the small study to prepare pens and ink.
***
On the other side, in the carriage of Prince Yu’s Palace.
Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua had already paid their respects to the Emperor, Empress and others in the morning, and left the palace directly after the banquet.
After getting on the carriage, Mo Zhaohua put aside his dignified demeanor and leaned against the wall of the carriage in a slightly lazily manner.
She looked at Mo Zhaohua with a smile, "Prince Qi's concubine entered the palace as she wished, but she doesn't seem happy."
Mo Yaohua was more than just unhappy. It was just that due to her low status, she couldn't turn her face away, let alone lose her temper.
Otherwise, how could she control her temper when Concubine Chunhui and her son laughed at her? She would probably have retorted long ago.
Chu Xuanchi smiled and said, "I came here with high hopes, but left disappointed. I feel really disappointed. How can I be happy?"
He didn't care much about Mo Yaohua, but if he just thought about it, he could figure it out, so why bother paying attention to it.
Mo Zhaohua gloated, "That's right. With her personality, she will definitely want to show off after becoming a phoenix."
They are sisters, and in her previous life, Mo Yaohua even revealed her true identity in person, so she can naturally understand Mo Yaohua better.
Chu Xuanchi continued, "However, today is an inner banquet, not a palace banquet, and there is basically no one present who is lower in status than her."
Mo Zhaohua was very thankful, "Fortunately it's a family banquet. If it was a palace banquet, the family members of lower ranks would be trampled under her feet."
Not to mention a lower official rank, even if it was a high official rank, such as Zhong Lingfei, the daughter of a minister, Mo Yaohua dared to show off by relying on her status.
"I asked Wuying to find out, and Concubine Liang also looks down on her." Chu Xuanchi was very interested in Mo Zhaohua and tried his best to satisfy her in everything.
Even though Mo Zhaohua said that she didn't care about Concubine Liang's attitude and didn't need to know the result, he still asked Wuying to find out.
Poor Wuying had no power in the palace. He spent a lot of effort and money before finally getting this result.
"That's my guess. Madam Liang wants to be honored by her son, and she values legitimate children over illegitimate children. How could she be interested in a concubine's daughter?"
Mo Zhaohua had known this would happen, and she said that at the banquet to intentionally remind Chu Xuanchi. She knew he could guess it.
Chu Xuanchi sighed, "The customs of Dongling Kingdom are like this, they value legitimate children over illegitimate children. If I hadn't been born into an imperial family, I would have been nothing more than a illegitimate child."
Mo Zhaohua avoided the main point and said, "Liang Fei's father is similar to my father. He favors concubines and concubines, so she hates concubines even more."
She didn't want to talk about Chu Xuanchi's own issue of legitimacy or illegitimate status. No matter whether he was a legitimate son or an illegitimate son, she only wanted him as a person.
"So that's the case. I haven't asked anyone to investigate the concubines in the harem." Chu Xuanchi's mother died young, and he was unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the harem.
If Imperial Concubine Chunxian was still alive, he would have investigated the concubines in the palace long ago in order to protect her, and to prevent them from plotting against her.
Mo Zhaohua told him, "There is something more important. Concubine Liang already had a lover before she got married, but her concubine's sister found out and exposed her..."
There was no rule of beauty selection in Dongling, and women could marry freely. Concubine Liang and her cousin from her aunt's family were childhood sweethearts and they were in love with each other.
Originally, he was waiting to propose marriage to his cousin after he passed the imperial examination, but before the Spring Examination, his concubine's younger sister accidentally discovered their affair.
Liang Fei's father did not like his own wife, so he did not want to have a closer relationship with her. He was afraid that they would cause trouble, so he insisted on sending Liang Fei to the Eastern Palace.
Later, the cousin passed the imperial examination and married someone else under the forced arrangement of his family. They also had a pair of children.
It’s a pity that he was deeply in love with Concubine Liang. Even though he had married and had children, he still couldn’t let her go, and eventually died of depression.
At that time, Concubine Liang was still in the Eastern Palace. When she learned about this, she fainted, cried secretly all night, and fell seriously ill again.
Although her cousin got married, she never blamed him. After all, she entered the Eastern Palace first, and her cousin also had responsibilities as a son.
Because her cousin died early and her two children were still young, she often asked people to send some silver to her aunt's house to help them.
She had never been jealous of her cousin's wife. She was even grateful that she had accompanied her cousin for several years and had given birth to a child for him.
Because of this, Concubine Liang disliked all concubines' daughters, thinking that none of them were good, and thus looked down on Mo Yaohua.
But also because of this incident, she didn't want to forcibly separate Chu Xuanhan and Mo Yaohua and let Mo Yaohua, a concubine's daughter, become a concubine.
However, although she helped Chu Xuanhan, she would never condone a concubine and let her step on the mistress like the concubines of her mother's family did.
Now she only thought that when Chu Xuanhan had more women and his feelings for Mo Yaohua faded, she would find a reason to give up his position.
If Mo Yaohua didn't want to, she wouldn't mind being ruthless and killing the person directly, because a dead person couldn't take the position of concubine.
Chu Xuanchi had never known that Concubine Liang had such an old relationship, and was very surprised when he heard it, "How does Zhao Zhao know so much about Concubine Liang?"
Not to mention that Concubine Liang was the emperor's woman, even if she was just an ordinary woman, such things would not be known to outsiders, right?
Of course, he would not doubt that Mo Zhaohua still had feelings for Chu Xuanhan and had any selfish motives. He was just simply curious.
