After Mu Peiyun returned to the front hall, he met his old father's eyes and the corners of his mouth immediately drooped.
Sure enough, she knew that her father would not let her go just like that, and her mother was watching her from the side.
Mu Peiyun returned to Mu Jin and Mu Qingqing and knelt down in an orderly manner, closing his eyes and raising his palms.
Mu Jin snorted lightly: "Humph, you admit your mistakes faster than that evil girl."
Mu Peiyun smiled again: "Of course, Yun'er is your first daughter, so I have to set a good example."
Mu Qingqing looked at her acting like a spoiled child, wanting to laugh but not being able to. After all, the Prime Minister had to be a little dignified at this moment, so she just coughed and said, "Be serious."
Mu Peiyun knelt down again and said, "Yes, mother."
Mu Jin: "When did you find out Yao'er was pregnant?"
"Replying to father, half a month ago."
Mu Jin almost vomited blood after hearing this: "What... cough... cough cough... what? Half a month ago?!"
Mu Peiyun blinked her eyes, stood up tactfully and brought the tea to Mu Jin, then knelt back down obediently.
"You knew it half a month ago, why did you wait until today to tell me?"
"My daughter also found out by accident. She panicked and didn't know what to do. She kept putting it off until today."
"Then you should have told me in private. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still here." Mu Jin sighed. At least he should have been mentally prepared so that he could think of a countermeasure in advance.
Mu Peiyun's eyes dodged for a moment. Her father was indeed old, and it was really inappropriate for her to scare him like this.
But she just wanted to wait until Mu Yunchen was here to tell this. She was still worrying about how to let the news of Mu Peiyun's pregnancy spread to the palace, but she didn't expect that your father would bring Mu Yunchen here.
However, Mu Peiyun didn't dare to speak out her true thoughts. She just admitted her mistake: "My daughter knows she was wrong, father. I won't do it again next time."
Mu Jin widened his eyes: "Will there be a next time?" The first time was enough to scare him, how could he bear it if it happened again?
Mu Peiyun quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I promise."
Seeing that Mu Jin's expression had eased and her tone had become gentler, Mu Peiyun shamelessly ran behind Mu Jin and gave her a back massage earnestly.
Mu Yunyu's face was terribly gloomy after returning to the palace. He was really embarrassed today. The source of the rumor originally came from the Duke of Ying's Mansion.
But when he went to the Duke of England's mansion to settle the score angrily, the Duke of England's wife retorted back, saying that he was a prince but he had wrongly accused the minister's wife without any evidence.
But Situ had always been sharp-tongued, and she had always been a gentle gentleman, so how could she care about a mere lady like her?
After leaving the Duke of England's mansion, I walked around the area and asked around, only to find out that the rumor actually came from a woman dressed as a maid from a wealthy family.
After taking a look at the portrait, he found that it was Mu Peiyao. Mu Yunyu was immediately furious. This woman, who was incapable of accomplishing anything and always caused trouble, had ruined so many of his good deeds.
The little bit of goodwill she had in his heart was completely destroyed.
It was a small matter to quell the rumors, but how could he explain this to his father? Thinking of this, Mu Yunyu angrily wanted to leave the palace to question Mu Peiyao.
But before she could even leave her palace, she met Eunuch Li who was beside her father.
Li Baoquan shouted at Mu Yunyu in a shrill voice: "Your servant pays respect to His Highness the Fifth Prince."
Mu Yunyu: "It's Eunuch Li, what's going on so late at night?"
"The emperor has sent you to the imperial study."
Mu Yunyu felt his eyelids twitch, and had a bad feeling. He asked tentatively: "What did the emperor say?"
Li Baoquan smiled politely and shook his head: "Your Highness, you'd better go quickly and don't let the emperor wait anxiously."
Mu Yunyu had no choice but to give up his original plan and followed Li Baoquan to the imperial study.
As soon as he entered, he was startled by the broken pieces of a cup that fell at his feet. Mu Yunyu walked in with a puzzled look on his face, only to find that Mu Yunchen was also here.
Suddenly, a feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart: "I, your son, pay my respects to the emperor. I wonder why the emperor is so angry?"
When the emperor saw Mu Yunyu, he became even angrier and was so angry that he couldn't speak. He snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Mu Yunchen understood, and then told the emperor what happened, but his tone was full of sarcasm.
"Fifth brother, why didn't you tell us earlier that you liked Prime Minister Mu's second daughter? You kept it a secret from father until he was about to have his grandson."
"What imperial grandson? What is your royal brother talking about? I don't quite understand." Mu Yunyu had no idea that Mu Peiyao was pregnant, so he was confused when asked this question.
But when the emperor heard this, he thought it was a sign of irresponsibility and that he did things without taking the responsibility, and he became furious.
"What do you mean by grandson of the emperor? You've already made her pregnant, and now you're saying you don't understand. Is this how your mother taught you?"
"What...what?! Mu Peiyao is pregnant?" Mu Yunyu was very surprised. How could she be pregnant after just one try? Those maids who warmed the bed in his palace had never been pregnant.
But what Mu Yunyu didn't know was that he hadn't married a wife yet, so how could the concubine let those servants get pregnant with his children?
"Look, father, I told you that my fifth brother has a sweetheart, but you still don't believe me. Today I saw it in the Prime Minister's residence. Prime Minister Mu's second daughter is infatuated with my fifth brother. Why don't you help this pair of lovers to be together?"
It must be said that Mu Yunchen's sarcastic remarks were so many that the emperor actually thought that he, as the emperor's elder brother, was pleading for his younger brother.
When his attention shifted to Mu Yunyu, Shunshi began to have a headache again. If everyone was like his prince, the kingdom of Mu would not be easily shaken.
But when Mu Yunyu heard Mu Yunchen advise the emperor to marry Mu Peiyao, he actually felt very reluctant.
How can he help him succeed by marrying a woman who can't understand the situation into the palace?
Moreover, Mu Peiyun is now the Crown Princess, and Mu Peiyao is just a concubine's daughter. The Prime Minister's Mansion has most likely already surrendered to the Crown Prince, so why would he marry Mu Peiyao to take up his position in the palace?
Mu Peiyao could never have imagined that while she worked so hard to keep the child for Mu Yunyu, the other person was thinking about how to get rid of her.
“Choose an auspicious day and bring Mu Peiyao into your palace. Although she is the daughter of Prime Minister Mu, she is only a concubine. She has done such a shameless thing. If it weren’t for the Prime Minister’s sake, making her a concubine would already be a promotion for her.
Since you are already pregnant, there is no need to prepare for the wedding ceremony. Just pick a date and carry the baby into the palace in a sedan chair."
“Father, your son…your son…” Mu Yunyu hesitated, not knowing what to do.
Seeing this cowardly look, the emperor became even angrier: "What? I have already granted your wish. You still don't want to?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not do that." Mu Yunyu had no choice but to compromise. After all, he was the one who caused the trouble, and his father only scolded him a few words, which was already the lightest punishment.
