Chapter 448

How could Xia Yu Yan not hear this? Her brows knit together and she said with a smile, "Little sister Yue 'er's painting is from the great master, so the Princess Consort shouldn't compete with little sister Yue' er in painting, otherwise you'll make a fool of yourself."

The three of them spoke back and forth, mocking each other while also shooting at Chen Ning.

Chen Ning was still smiling the entire time, eating while listening. It was like the three of them were not mocking her, but rather praising her.

From time to time, she would deliberately add vinegar to provoke the three of them, causing the three of them to fight endlessly like three fighting hens.

The quarrel between the four of them in the pavilion fell into the ears of Empress Dowager Zhou and Mo Chuan in the flower garden.

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard the three girls' mouths getting fiercer and uglier, her face became uglier and uglier. It was so dark that it almost dripped water.

She stared at the three of them for a long time. Seeing that the three of them were becoming more and more outrageous, she couldn't listen anymore and angrily turned to leave.

"Emperor, what is the meaning of this!" She heard Mo Chuan's footsteps behind her and suddenly stopped. She turned around and angrily glared at Mo Chuan.

Mo Chuan also stopped and calmly looked at Empress Dowager Zhou, "What is mother asking? Your son does not understand."

"Stop pretending to be confused for this widow! You deliberately fawned over that lass during the banquet, didn't you want these three girls to be jealous of her? You were purposely trying to embarrass them in front of that girl, isn't that right! "Empress Dowager Zhou said in a sharp voice.

Mo Chuan calmly replied, "Your son just wanted mother to clearly see what it means to do one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. If your son didn't do this, how could mother see such an interesting show?"

"How presumptuous! This widow does not want to watch a show! These three girls are all talented and beautiful daughters of large families, any one of them is over a hundred times better than that girl! This widow wants to choose a virtuous and talented empress for you, not a good for nothing idiot! Emperor, do you dare come back with this widow? This widow will let that girl compete with these three girls and see who will embarrass themselves and who will be the idiot! "Empress Dowager Zhou coldly said.

She did not mind what had just happened. When she entered the palace in her teens, she had also said those words to those girls in the past. She had also been mocked by others, so it didn't matter at all.

She was just angry that Mo Chuan was always on Chen Ning's side, wholeheartedly favoring her. Then she would open her son's eyes and see that the girl he liked was just an embroidered pillow!

"Your son is very happy." Mo Chuan nodded without even thinking and revealed a confident smile on his face.

A girl that he liked must be unique in this world, how could she be as useless as Empress Dowager Zhou said?

"If this girl loses to those three girls, what will you do?" Empress Dowager Zhou asked.

"Then this minister will listen to mother's decision. Whoever mother wants your son to marry, your son will marry!" Mo Chuan seemed like he already guessed that Empress Dowager Zhou would say this, so his reply was very straightforward.

"Very good, a ruler doesn't lie!" Empress Dowager Zhou was finally satisfied.

She was waiting for Mo Chuan to say this.

Her dark face revealed a smile and she pulled Mo Chuan's hand, "Come, let's go back to the pavilion in the center of the lake."

Mo Chuan stood there without moving, "Mother, if Ning 'er wins, then what?"
