Chapter 152 Choosing a Woman for Him
Jun Mo sneaked back to the palace early in the morning, took a bath, changed his clothes, and felt full of energy.
He first went to see Concubine Duan, and the mother and son talked for a long time with their hearts open.
Finally, Concubine Duan asked him again: "Are you sure you want to marry Yu Jiuer as your concubine?"
"I have searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when I turned around, I found him standing in the dimly lit place! Mother, I will marry no one else but her!" Jun Mo was firm in his attitude, and he bowed to Concubine Duan and asked,
"Please support me, mother. I want to bring Yu Jiuer back to life and marry her!"
"But she faked her death and was reborn. Even though she gave birth to two grandchildren, she still played a trick on the royal family. Your father is very proud and will definitely not agree to let her enter the royal family again! Besides, there is the Miao princess. Do you think that with Yu Jiuer's personality, she will agree to you marrying a concubine?"
Jun Mo said expressionlessly, "I don't care about other people. They are not what I want. They are just stepping stones! I only want Yu Jiuer! Please ask mother for help from the emperor, and I will try my best!"
After saying this, he bowed and took his leave, preparing to go to the military camp to work.
He was only focused on Yu Jiuer's affairs, and other people were not even within his consideration.
Concubine Duan looked at Jun Mo's arrogant and cold back and sighed.
She has lived for her family all her life and knows the pain involved. How could she bear to let her own sons be sacrificed as well?
Now that he finally has a sweetheart, how could she not want him to get what he wants?
That's all! Things had developed to this point, and there was no way back. She could only violate the woman's virtues that she had followed all her life, deceive the emperor, and devote all her efforts to planning for her son.
Jun Mo came to the stable and was about to mount his horse when a slender and graceful woman suddenly ran out from the corner.
"Cousin Mo, I have nothing to do, so I made some cakes. You can take them to the barracks to eat!"
This beautiful voice was as sweet as a lark in the early morning. Even Wei Zheng and Jian Yi, who had cold faces, felt their ears twitch at the same time.
"Thank you!" Jun Mo nodded, took the food and handed it to the servant next to him.
Princess Qingrou silently took two steps back so as not to delay him from mounting his horse.
I thought, his attitude was distant, not as friendly as when we were children, but at least he didn't refuse.
After Jun Mo walked away, Princess Qingrou stared at his back infatuatedly, bit her lower lip lightly, and fell into distant memories.
That year, a little girl of humble status who had to survive among the powerful was pinned to the ground and beaten by a group of people. In her despair, the cold and arrogant Fourth Prince saved her.
From then on, she lived only for him.
When he was punished, she secretly brought him food and drink; when he went to war, she prayed for him every day; later when he was exiled to Yinshan, she knelt on the ground for three days and three nights but failed to persuade her mother to give in and ask the emperor for mercy...
"The person has already gone far away, but Princess Qingrou is still looking at him from afar. This sincerity is really touching!"
The sudden voice interrupted Princess Qingrou's memories. She turned around and bowed to Yu Jiuer: "Greetings, County Magistrate Yu!"
Yu Jiuer got off the horse and asked the servant to take the horse to feed.
Since becoming the head of Prince Jing's Mansion, she can ride a horse and enter and leave the palace with open arms.
Princess Qingrou thought Yu Jiuer was looking for Jun Mo, so she said, "The prince just left from the west door, and you came in from the east door, and you just missed him."
"I am not here to see the prince. It is Concubine Duan who asked me to come here to talk!" Yu Jiuer was not in a hurry to see Concubine Duan. She suddenly wanted to chat with Princess Qingrou.
So he asked her, "Since Princess Qingrou likes Prince Jing, why doesn't she let the eldest princess ask the emperor for permission to marry her?"
"Mother went there, but the prince refused!" Princess Qingrou said self-deprecatingly.
"With my background, how can I be worthy of such a noble man? If I hadn't been raised by my mother since I was a child, I would have had a hard time even meeting him!"
"The prince doesn't seem to dislike you!" Yu Jiuer could see that although Jun Mo was polite and distant to Princess Qingrou, he did not dislike her as he disliked other women.
Princess Qingrou could sense that Yu Jiuer had no ill intentions, so she said without any defense, "Isn't it because of our childhood friendship that we have a friendship that starts with affection but ends with courtesy?"
"Were you good friends when you were kids?" Yu Jiuer suddenly became interested.
Who would have thought that Jun Mo, this serious and stern prince, had a confidante in his childhood?
"It's okay! When he was a child, I was a study partner with the Eighth Princess and often stayed in the palace. At that time, he was often punished by Concubine Duan to kneel in the ancestral hall, and I would secretly bring him food every time." Princess Qingrou met the kind Yu Jiuer and started chatting with her for some unknown reason.
Yu Jiuer put aside the sour feeling in her heart and showed an envious expression on her face: "Childhood sweethearts, two innocent people, how enviable!"
"It's not as good as the adults say. He is very busy and we hardly have any chance to meet. The most intimate conversation we had was on the Lantern Festival many years ago."
Princess Qingrou's face was full of sweetness when she talked about the past. "That year he got drunk and sat in the corridor. We chatted all night under the moon and flowers. In fact, I was talking most of the time and he was listening. He fell asleep while listening in the corridor."
Yu Jiuer smiled sincerely and said, "There is an emotional foundation. If you can achieve your goal, it will be a good thing! I wish Princess Qingrou all her wishes come true!"
She was formulating a plan in her mind.
If Jun Mo reaches that position, there will definitely be many women around him, which is understandable.
Emperors have always been romantic since ancient times, so she had to plan early, choose women for him, and place her own people around him.
While I was stunned, I heard Princess Qingrou complaining to herself: "I am in the royal family, but I am the most humble member of the royal family. No one dares to offend me, and no one can afford to offend me. I am satisfied to be able to see him from a distance, and I dare not have any extravagant hopes!"
"You are so sincere, I am willing to lend you a helping hand! Only if you dare to think can you dare to do, and only if you dare to do can you win!" Yu Jiuer's face was full of cunning, which made Princess Qingrou blush.
She shook her head and said, "No need. I don't want to blaspheme the beauty of myself in his heart! Even though my mother has repeatedly ordered me to face the challenge, I just want to look at him from afar!"
Yu Jiuer raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Oh? The eldest princess also supports you getting close to Prince Jing?"
The eldest princess has something in Jun Mo's hands, so it is impossible for her to win over Jun Mo. It is unknown what tricks she is trying to play.
Princess Qingrou said honestly, "Yes! I have been engaged twice before, but both marriages ended in failure. I was therefore labeled as a husband-killer. My mother said that only a fierce god like Prince Jing, who killed countless enemies on the battlefield, could suppress my fate, and she has been urging me to work hard for it."
Yu Jiuer asked: "Do you believe it?"
Princess Qingrou shook her head and said, "I'm not stupid. How could I not know that my mother asked me to marry Prince Jing because she wanted me to get information for her? So I can't have too much contact with him, so as not to be caught in a dilemma!"
Unintentionally, these two people who had no connection with each other were able to have a pleasant conversation next to the stable.
Yu Jiuer was very satisfied that Qingrou was simple-minded and not cunning, unlike someone's cousin who was so pretentious.
Qingrou envied Yu Jiuer's free and unrestrained personality, and was shocked by some of her shocking ideas. Those were things she had always wanted to do deep in her heart, but she dared not even think about them due to secular ethics.
After chatting with Princess Qingrou for a long time, Yu Jiuer walked towards Concubine Duan's courtyard.
Concubine Duan dismissed her attendants and said to Yu Jiuer, "Mo'er wants to marry you as his concubine. What do you think?"
"Cough cough cough!" The simple and straightforward question made Yu Jiuer drink a mouthful of tea straight up her nostrils.
Based on her previous experiences, Yu Jiuer decided that next time she came to the palace, she would not drink tea before things were settled, otherwise she would be choked to death sooner or later.
After finally stopping her cough, Yu Jiuer bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I lost my composure!"
Concubine Duan shook her head to show that she didn't care. Ever since she knew that she was a woman, she liked her more and more.
"Jiu'er is of humble status and unworthy of the title of Princess Jing. Please take back your decision, Concubine Duan!" Yu Jiu'er refused. "Although the emperor has granted marriage before, Jiu'er is unlucky. She faked her death and escaped the marriage. If the emperor knew, Jiu'er would be a criminal. How can a criminal be the daughter-in-law of the royal family?"
She actually wanted to reject the marriage proposal outright, but she was worried that if she went too far she would lose her child, so she had to take it step by step.
"Jiuer, it's rare that you are so sensible!" Concubine Duan felt relieved. As long as she didn't think about the position of Princess Jing, the problem would not be difficult to solve.
She stood up and came over to hold Yu Jiuer's hand, "But Mo'er insists on his own opinion. You have to persuade him. Instead of going against his father, it is better to spend more energy on dealing with the right people. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't become the main wife. The most important thing is Mo'er's favor, don't you think?"
Yu Jiuer could only nod continuously. She was now dressed in men's clothes and was suddenly so close to the noble and dignified Concubine Duan. She was not used to it and felt very embarrassed!
Grandma, please let go! If Concubine Xiang sees this, are you going to force Jun Mo to kill someone to silence him?
