Mo Ruiyun, who had been pampered since he was young, did not know that even if his mother was here, she would also be scared to the point of kneeling and kowtowing.
His reaction attracted Mo Xiuyao's interest. Raising his head to look at him, he calmly said: "This is the person Mo Jingqi chose?"
The eunuch had a bitter expression, not daring to answer. How could the sixth prince be chosen by the emperor? This was clearly a choice with no other choice. It was just that the sixth prince had been pampered by the emperor since he was young and his birth mother's status was too low to speak. He was taught by the people in the palace that even though he was already nine years old, he was not as smart as a four or five year old child.
Mo Ruiyun proudly said: "That's right, this prince is really the sixth prince. Since you know, why haven't you come to pay your respects?"
"Pu … …" Mo Xiaobao laid on Mo Xiuyao's lap, his eyes wide open as he looked at this strange prince who seemed to have eyes growing on top of his head. Was he really not afraid of his father at all? Mo Xiuyao smiled as he patted Mo Xiaobao's head. "What are you laughing at?" Mo Xiaobao blinked his large eyes, "Father is going to pay his respects to the prince?"
"Your father hasn't even paid his respects to the emperor, what is there to pay respects to the prince?" Mo Xiuyao smiled.
Mo Xiaobao comfortably closed his eyes, lying on Mo Xiuyao's lap to bask in the sun, "That's good, I also don't want to pay my respects to the prince." If his father was going to pay his respects to the prince, then didn't that mean he would also have to pay his respects to this silly prince in front of him? It really was too shameful. Mo Xiuyao lowered his head to pinch his son's small cheeks, saying: "It's easy if you don't want to pay respects. As long as you have the ability to make others pay respects to you, then you naturally don't need to pay respects to others." Mo Xiaobao disdainfully snorted, "This young master naturally has the ability."
"This young master?" Mo Xiuyao sneered, his hand mercilessly pinching Mo Xiaobao's little butt where Ye Li couldn't see.
"Ah ah … … despicable! Mother, Lord Father is bullying me … "Mo Xiuyao's grip caused Xiaobao to toss and turn in his arms. Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "I just taught you this. If you don't want others to bully you, you have to rely on yourself. Before you have the ability, just obediently let Father bully you. There's no future in complaining. "
"Wuwu …" Mo Xiaobao pitifully looked at his mother who was watching the show from the side. Ye Li smiled and shrugged at him. She wanted to help but was unable to. Young Master Mo was very tactful and immediately said to Mo Xiuyao with a calm face, "Lord Father, this child was wrong. Please spare me … "
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Li. "When did this kid learn to be flexible?"
Ye Li smiled faintly. "He has always been flexible." This was the truth. Other than in front of his father, Mo Xiaobao rarely suffered because of his pride. First, he couldn't put down his face. Second, he was certain that his father wouldn't really do anything to him. Now it seemed that even the last problem of his pride was solved. Therefore, Young Master Mo could be invincible in the future.
Mo Ruiyun looked at the warm and harmonious scene in front of her, but her heart was very uncomfortable. The sixth prince grew up in the palace. Mo Jingqi's love for him even surpassed the crown prince and his brother who were somewhat dull because of Noble Consort Liu's indifference. But even so, Mo Ruiyun didn't dare to cause trouble in front of her Lord Father. Looking at the five to six year old boy in front of her who was lying in the arms of the handsome white haired Prince Ding, Mo Ruiyun felt that something strange was spreading in her heart. Looking at the smile on Mo Xiaobao's face, she also felt that it was particularly dazzling.
Mo Xiuyao and Mo Xiaobao were playing and didn't pay attention to it. The eunuch kneeling on the ground clearly saw Mo Ruiyun's expression. He couldn't help but complain in his heart. The people in front of him weren't people that a small sixth prince like him could offend. If he angered Prince Ding, not to mention the Emperor wanting Prince Ding to support him, he might even lose his little life here.
"The Prince Ding Mansion's upbringing isn't that good?!" Mo Ruiyun finally didn't let down the worries of her subordinates. She stared at Mo Xiaobao and suddenly blurted out.
Hearing this, the three people who were originally smiling all quieted down. Ye Li slightly frowned and looked at Mo Ruiyun, saying: "The Prince Ding Mansion's upbringing, I'm afraid that the sixth prince doesn't need to judge. Sixth prince, please go back. Our place is small and can't accommodate someone of your noble status. "Ye Li was really angry. Mo Ruiyun's words were not only directed at Mo Xiaobao, but also the entire Prince Ding Mansion and the people who taught Mo Xiaobao. As for the reason he said this, Ye Li naturally could see it. It wasn't because he had any grudges with the Prince Ding Mansion, it was only because he was jealous of Mo Xiaobao. A prince who had been doted on since he was young, but because of this little bit of jealousy, he actually spoke ill of others. This kind of character was enough to make people dislike him.
"This prince didn't say anything wrong!" Mo Ruiyun didn't think that Ye Li would ask him to leave as soon as he opened his mouth. Although his mother wasn't doted on in the palace, his imperial father liked him. Even the son of Noble Consort Liu who was doted on had to yield to him.
"The upbringing of my son is only for us parents to worry about. I wonder what status does the sixth prince have to worry about this matter?" Ye Li indifferently asked.
Mo Ruiyun was speechless and could only fiercely glare at Mo Xiaobao. Mo Xiaobao wasn't willing to jump out and argue with him at this time. It would make him seem like he really didn't have any upbringing. He arrogantly snorted and hid in Mo Xiuyao's embrace, "Imperial father, this child was wrong. This child will go back and properly ask maternal grandfather about etiquette. "
Mo Xiuyao looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. He said to Zhuo Jing and the others who were waiting on the side, "Invite the sixth prince back."
Zhuo Jing waved his hand and the guards naturally came forward to send the guest off. The eunuch who was still holding the imperial edict remembered his duty and hurriedly said, "Prince Ding … … this … … this is the Emperor's decree … …"
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said, "What does Emperor Chu's decree have to do with I? You can take it back. Tell Mo Jingqi that his taste … … is really good. "
The eunuch who delivered the edict also knew that there was nothing he could do. He could only put away the imperial edict and say, "The Emperor has already given the order to unseal the Prince Ding Mansion and return the Prince Ding Mansion's properties in the capital that were seized to the Prince. The inn is simple and crude. I ask that the Prince move back to the mansion to rest so that Wangfei and He Shizi will not be wronged. "Mo Xiuyao looked at the eunuch with a smile and said with a smile," You really know how to speak. Go back and tell Mo Jingqi. I will accept this gift. "
It was finally done. The eunuch let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly left respectfully.
After sending off this large group of people, Ye Li frowned and said, "What is Mo Jingqi's intention now? Is this the good show you were talking about? "
Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Isn't it a good show? I've already said that Mo Jingqi this person … … has a fickle personality. He is usually ruthless when he turns hostile. He has favored Noble Consort Liu for many years. For her sake, he went against the Empress Dowager and ignored the Empress. If it wasn't for the fact that he still wanted some face, I'm afraid that he would favor the concubine and destroy the wife. Because of this, he is on the verge of death. When he suddenly learns of Noble Consort Liu's actions, whether it is true or not, he will resent Noble Consort Liu. If he wants to be even more extreme, he will hate Noble Consort Liu to the bone. Yesterday, he was provoked by the Empress Dowager and I. Right now, he won't care about the Da Chu State's territory. As long as he can get revenge on Mo Jingli, his mother, and the Liu family, what can't he do? "
"You're saying that Mo Jingqi has completely lost his mind?" Ye Li said with a frown.
"It's not that he has completely lost his mind. In this life, he has always been half crazy and half insane. He doesn't hate the Prince Ding Mansion. In the beginning, he only dealt with the Prince Ding Mansion because he was afraid that the Prince Ding Mansion would threaten his throne. But now … … he is about to die. I also didn't threaten his throne. On the contrary, his mother, brother, and the people who sleep next to him are all plotting against him. Compared to I, he only hates them. Right now, let alone the Prince Ding Mansion, even if I wanted to be the Regent, he would agree. He has already been blinded by hatred. He only wants revenge. "Mo Xiuyao said with a faint smile.
Ye Li pondered for a moment. It was really as Mo Xiuyao said. In fact, Mo Jingqi's personality wasn't suitable to be the Emperor. He was too sensitive and paranoid. His intelligence could only be considered average. It was because he knew his own mediocrity that he was even more uneasy. Once he had power, it was very easy for him to go to extremes. Just like the matter of the Prince Ding Mansion. The imperial family wanted to take away the Prince Ding Mansion's power. It definitely wasn't something that only happened in the past two generations. However, with so many Emperors, not a single one was as rough as him. However, it was probably because he caught them off guard that he almost succeeded. It was a pity that the heavens didn't want to destroy the Prince Ding Mansion. It could only be said that it was the will of the heavens. In short, Mo Jingqi was someone who was very bad at balance. The most important thing for an Emperor was to understand the way of balance.
"Xiuyao already knew this would happen?"
Mo Xiuyao said with a smile: "After dealing with him for so many years, I can be considered to have some understanding of him. It's a pity … … even if the Prince Ding Mansion has been loyal to the Da Chu State for generations, I definitely won't agree to his request this time. His wishful thinking will be for naught. "
"Why?" Ye Li raised an eyebrow. Although Mo Jingqi's move was a messy one, it wasn't a bad one. Once this self-condemnation decree was released, if Mo Jingqi died, the Prince Ding Mansion's refusal would only cause criticism among the people. It wasn't that the people didn't know how to distinguish between right and wrong, but that the people placed too much importance on the self-condemnation decree. In the past dynasties, as long as it wasn't that they couldn't survive, there was almost no problem that the self-condemnation decree couldn't solve. No matter what the Emperor did, as long as the self-condemnation decree was released, the people would forgive them. After all, the idea of being loyal to the Emperor had always lingered in the minds of the people.
Mo Xiuyao sighed slightly. He lowered his head to look at Mo Xiaobao who had already fallen asleep in his embrace. After the ruckus just now, Mo Xiaobao had fallen asleep after listening to his parents talk for less than a quarter of an hour. There was even transparent drool hanging from the side of his mouth.
"This kid looks very obedient, but he's actually very confident and arrogant. He's even more arrogant than I was when I was young. I'm afraid that when he grows up, he won't be inferior to others. Moreover, now that the Prince Ding Mansion has already broken free from the cage of the Da Chu State, it's up to him in the future. Could it be that I, as his father, can personally lock him back in? After the events of the past few years, who wouldn't have any grudges in their hearts. When the time comes, it'll just be a repeat of the Prince Ding Mansion's many years of predicament. "
Ye Li understood what he meant. Even if the royal family kept their promise, Mo Xiuyao had great power in this generation, and the Prince Ding Mansion's wealth would be unparalleled. Their future generations would once again fall into the same predicament they had experienced, or even worse.
"No matter what other people think, Xiaobao and I will always be by your side." Ye Li said softly.
"I know that we will always be together."
