Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Mo Yun's visiting card was rejected by Prince Qi's Mansion.

What happened yesterday has become known to everyone, and Emperor Wenzong was furious.

Chu Xuanhan didn't dare to mention the matter of taking a concubine and asked Mo Yun to wait for news at home. Mo Yaohua was disappointed when she heard the news.

However, compared to her, Chu Xuanhan's image in front of Emperor Wenzong is more important. The worst outcome for her is to become a concubine in the palace.

That afternoon, Chu Xuanhan was summoned to Changqiu Palace by Concubine Liang, and he was thinking about how to deal with it all the way.

Concubine Liang sat upright on the imperial concubine couch. "For a concubine's daughter, are you even giving up your own identity?"

She was really angry. She knew without asking that it was her good son who had schemed against others for a woman.

"Mother, please calm down. Your son is not just doing this for Yaoyao. He also wants to destroy Mo Zhaohua's reputation." Chu Xuanhan revealed Mo Yaohua's so-called plan of killing two birds with one stone.

Concubine Liang praised, "It sounds very thorough, but what happened later? Why didn't it go according to plan?"

"My son doesn't know either. Yesterday, I found something was wrong and asked Leng Feng to investigate thoroughly, but there has been no news so far."

Leng Feng was Chu Xuanhan's bodyguard, and he knew everything about yesterday's plan. After the plan failed, he received the information and promptly arranged for Qiaojuan to take the blame.

Without asking, Concubine Liang was certain of Qiaojuan's identity. "The dead slave girl is yours, so you must clean up the mess."

Chu Xuanhan casually mentioned the matter of seven lives lost, "Don't worry, mother. She and her family won't tell anyone a word."

Concubine Liang did not react. "Be careful. There is nothing that cannot be opened in the face of interests and threats."

Chu Xuanhan chuckled, "Son knows that only the dead can truly keep secrets."

Concubine Liang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then smiled and praised, "Han'er is already a man who can accomplish great things."

Chu Xuanhan took the opportunity to speak for Mo Yaohua, "So mother, don't blame Yaoyao, she really wants to help her son."

"If she is sincere, then she can enter the palace as a concubine. The title of consort should be reserved for a woman who can give you greater assistance."

The Queen has her powerful family as a backing, and the Crown Prince has a reputation for virtue. Concubine Liang no longer has any hope of becoming Queen, so she plans to rely on Chu Xuanhan to become Queen Mother.

"My son's marriage should be arranged. Do you have any candidates for mother?" Mo Zhaohua has already granted the marriage, so Chu Xuanhan should find someone else.

"There are several. You can choose one and I will propose it to your father later." Concubine Liang had been considering the candidate for her daughter-in-law a few years ago.

***

The fifth day of May is Dragon Boat Festival.

There are palace banquets during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival every year.

During the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, officials of the third rank and above can bring their families to participate, and during the Spring Festival, officials of the fifth rank and above and their families can enter the palace.

Mo Yun is a second-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue and can attend the Duanyang Palace Banquet, but he can only bring Rong Qing, Madam Mo and Mo Zhaohua.

Even if Lan Ruyu was favored, she was still just a concubine and had no right to go to social events with Mo Yun. Mo Yaohua, as a concubine's daughter, could not go either.

The three festivals every year were a painful ordeal for Mo Yaohua. Her identity as a concubine's daughter had made her lose too much.

Lan Ruyu knew that she was in a bad mood, so she came to Zhiting Pavilion to accompany her, but she ended up stabbing her in the heart.

"Why is mother's birth so low? It would be fine if she was low, but why did she give birth to a daughter and make her a concubine?"

Mo Yaohua's eyes were red. "If my mother's status was better, I wouldn't have to suffer so much."

"Yes, I was born in a poor family, which has implicated you, so you should fight for your children not to become bastards."

Lan Ruyu's face no longer had the gentleness she showed in front of outsiders, and her voice was no longer the soft and gentle Wu dialect, but rather a bit cold and stern.

She paused and continued, "Even if they are born in the royal family, there are differences between illegitimate children and their parents. The eldest son is born the crown prince."

The Dongling Kingdom has a rule that the eldest son is the heir and not the eldest son. It is precisely because of this that the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is so serious among the people.

Mo Yaohua understood Lan Ruyu's meaning. She not only wanted to marry Chu Xuanhan and help him ascend to a high position, but also wanted to become the queen.

Chu Xuanhan also promised this, first using the other woman's family power to get to the top, and then paving the way for her to become the mother of the nation after he gained the imperial power.

Mo Yaohua was angry for a long time before being calmed down by Lan Ruyu. The mother and daughter had dinner together, leaving only Jinqiu to serve them.

Lan Ruyu diligently picked up some food for her and said, "Dear Yao'er, as long as you can capture the heart of Prince Qi, there is hope."

Mo Yaohua asked as he ate, "Prince Qi's mother's family is too weak, is there really any hope? Prince Jin's chances are much greater, right?"

Lan Ruyu's eyes were dim, "Prince Jin has a great chance, but you don't even have a chance to get close to him, so what can you do?"

Mo Yaohua nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, if it weren't for Mo Zhaohua, I wouldn't have had the chance to get close to King Qi."

Lan Ruyu said: "Actually, this is a good idea. The King of Jin is very powerful, and the Crown Prince will definitely be on guard. When two tigers fight, one of them will definitely get hurt."

Mo Yaohua laughed, "Mother is right, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. They fight each other, and we fishermen benefit."

The candlelight flickered in the house and the night was dim outside, but the palace was brightly lit. Mo Zhaohua and his companions were following the palace servants to the banquet hall.

The higher one's status at the banquet, the more forward one's seat. One's status is too low to even enter the main hall. For example, during the Spring Festival palace banquet, officials of the fifth rank held a banquet in the corridor outside the main hall, while officials of the fourth rank held banquets in the side halls.

Mo Zhaohua often attended palace banquets in his previous life. This was his first time participating after his rebirth. There were too many emotions in his heart. After sitting down with Rong Qing, he had some expectations. He wondered if Chu Xuanchi would come.
