Chapter 1076: Chapter 1074: The Prime Minister’s Estate Legitimate Daughter Marries Mo Qi
Leng Muling was so enchanted by Mo Qi that she really didn’t want to miss this opportunity. As she stood up, she earnestly requested, “Your Majesty, as a nobleman’s daughter, I am not familiar with the roads within the palace and fear I might take a wrong turn. May I request that this Leader Mo escort me?”
A deep look flashed in Zhilan’s eyes, “When Miss Leng leaves the palace, naturally there will be palace staff to guide her. Why the need to specifically request Leader Mo?”
Mo Qi also glanced at her.
But that look was both short and quick, indifferent and devoid of any emotion, as if simply questioned for a moment and then it was over.
Disappointed, and now doubted by Zhilan as well, Leng Muling turned to leave, when Su Yingxue timely said, “Mo Qi, since Miss Leng is visiting the imperial study for the first time, escort her out of the palace. Remember to assist her onto her carriage, and don’t neglect the daughter of the Prime Minister’s Estate.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Mo Qi took the command and walked to Leng Muling, “Miss Leng, please.”
“Thank you, Leader!”
Leng Muling’s face bloomed with a smile, the joy in her eyes unable to be concealed.
She left happily with Mo Qi. Zhilan watched with a puzzled expression, “This Miss Leng is really somewhat unusual.”
“Zhilan, you are just too skeptical. Leng Muling is young and scared to leave the palace alone. Asking Mo Qi to escort her is no big deal.”
Su Yingxue sighed, feeling that living so cautiously like Zhilan made life a bit tiring.
“Your Highness, this maid fears that Miss Leng might have ulterior motives, wishing to pry some information from Leader Mo Qi. What if Leader Mo doesn’t realize it?”
If she were to learn about Chu Yihan’s preferences or Su Yingxue’s relationship with him and use it to her advantage, then the situation wouldn’t be so easily managed.
Su Yingxue shook Chu Yihan’s hand, “Hubby, look, you are so careful with our child every day, and Zhilan is careful with everyone around me, making me nearly nervous to death.”
Chu Yihan pinched her nose, “We are all watching out for you; you should enjoy your leisure. What’s there to be dissatisfied about?”
“You both are just too cautious and underestimate me, Su Yingxue. Am I the kind of person who cannot distinguish between good and bad? That Leng Muling seems to be quite a nice girl to me, with no intentions towards you. She wouldn’t even dare to raise her head in your presence. Maybe she was only here to retrieve an official document, and you both made such a fuss about it!”
Su Yingxue pouted.
Zhilan had already tactfully withdrawn, and Chu Yihan personally served Su Yingxue tea and water, “With only you in the harem, I can be at ease. If there were several other women, neither I would be happy nor would you. Zhilan’s concerns are not without merit. Also, among the reports on my desk, there are a few recommending the legitimate daughter of the Leng family as a consort. You shouldn’t think too highly of Leng Muling.”
“A proposal for the legitimate daughter of the Leng family as a consort?”
Su Yingxue puffed her cheeks, “I really think Leng Muling has no interest in you. It’s more like she’s interested in Mo Qi! She asked Mo Qi to escort her, so why didn’t she ask you to escort her out of the palace?”
“Unless she wishes to die.”
Chu Yihan looked at Su Yingxue, her face joking, and shook his head.
“Ah, hubby, tell me, do you think Miss Leng and Mo Qi make a good match? If Mo Qi forgets about that woman, he eventually has to marry and have children. He has been loyal to you for so many years; why don’t you arrange a marriage for him?” Su Yingxue, clearly too idle, began to think about meddling in others’ love lives.
Chu Yihan poked her forehead, “That’s such wild speculation. Even if I arrange a marriage, would the old Prime Minister allow his granddaughter to marry a palace guard leader?”
Even after Mo Qi had served him for many years, the barriers of status were something he couldn’t recklessly break through.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
