Chapter 51 Spending the Night in the Palace (2/2)
”Don't you want to be a prince's concubine?” Feng Yuran stared at her deeply with his dark eyes. He seemed as if he would eat her up if she dared to even think about it.
”No!” Mo Xuetong answered obediently.
The corners of his lips raised when he heard her firm answer. He smiled with satisfaction and knocked on the table with his fingers mindlessly. Then, he asked an annoying question, ”First Brother is most likely to become emperor. Don't you want...”
That was treason, how dare he say it openly! Children of the royal family were indeed different. They were way braver than the ordinary person...
”No! I definitely don't!” Mo Xuetong answered even more firmly. Even though she did not know what he meant, but judging by how satisfied he looked at her previous answers, she had to plod on. Furthermore, she truly did not wish to enter the struggles of the royal family.
Feng Yuran seemed to look truly satisfied with her this time. He took out a fan from somewhere and waved it. Light scattered on his face, twinkling as if it were a prank. He then slowly brought up another matter. ”Honestly, if you don't wish to be a maid, how about you become my princess?”
”...” Mo Xuetong was stunned and struck speechless.
Feng Yuran was in a good mood when he saw her sh.e.l.l-shocked expression. She looked stunned and slightly silly, completely different from her usual charming and delicate self. He was pleased with his prank and waved his hand graciously saying, ”It doesn't matter whether you are really not considering it or if you're pretending not to consider it. I will allow you to think about it!”
He thought he was dispensing charity! Mo Xuetong forced herself not to bite him. It was not due to her good breeding but because this person was too dangerous.
”Many thanks, Your Highness, for your generosity. I wonder if you have a way to send me out of the palace?” She was on his territory and could not get angry at him. She would tamper down her anger. Mo Xuetong thought to herself darkly. Even though she spoke politely, she looked at him with stubborn eyes and gritted her teeth in secret.
”You really wish to leave the palace?” Feng Yuran leaned back comfortably against the chair and asked.
”Yes. Does King Xuan have any ideas? I thank you for what happened today.” Mo Xuetong answered politely and distantly. She did not wish to be too close to the palace.
”Is my help today helpful?” Feng Yuran was in a good mood and his eyes sparkled. The smile on his face grew even more charming and playful.
”Yes!” Mo Xuetong did not know what he meant, but she would play along.
”Since this is so, how do you plan to thank me?” Feng Yuran smiled like a fox.
”...” Mo Xuetong was speechless. She reached out to rub her pale forehead and asked helplessly, ”What does Your Highness want?”
Her foolish and unguarded appearance amused him. Feng Yuran smiled and suddenly sat up straight. He decided to ”show mercy” and let the kitten that had obviously become obedient, go. Of course, he would ask her to return the favor. He told her, especially before she left that he would have done her two big favors today if he brought her out of the palace. She had to remember to thank him next time.
Mo Xuetong naturally guaranteed that she was not an ungrateful sort and would definitely repay the favor. Even if she did not, she would not forget. It was only then when Feng Yuran allowed her to pa.s.s through the gates.
Mo Lan brought a palace maid in with her. Not long after she served Mo Xuetong tea, a eunuch came to report that Lord Mo is asking Third Miss Mo to hurry home. Since First Miss Mo was unwell, then she should rest before returning. This was the best case scenario for everyone. Mo Xuemin was happy and Mo Xuetong was definitely amenable to this.
Mo Xuemin did not ask Mo Xuetong to stay after Mo Xuetong shared the message with her. She only told Mo Xuetong to be careful. Mo Xuemin was glad that she was leaving. Feng Yuxuan had looked at Mo Xuetong differently, and this had displeased Mo Xuemin.
She had even sent Mo Xuetong out with a smile. Her friendliness was no lesser than what true sisters would show.
”First Miss, would Third Miss say anything to old sir?” Mo Jin asked worriedly when she saw Mo Xuetong and her maid leaving.
”What can she say? Have I done anything wrong?” Mo Xuemin allowed the gentle smile to slide off her face. She smirked and walked back into the room. There was no one around and she did not have to pretend to be the gentle and gracious First Miss Mo anymore!
”But, if Old Sir finds out that you have stayed here intentionally...” Mo Jin was still worried. First Miss had planned to attend the banquet today long ago. If Old Sir found out about her plots, he might not treat her as well as he had before.
”Does that matter. Once I become a prince's wife, what can he say? No matter how much he dotes on the little s.l.u.t, I will find a way to get her into trouble.” Mo Xuemin harrumphed and glanced at Mo Jin unhappily. ”It's good that she's left.”
It was even better now that the little s.l.u.t left. It was more convenient for her to get her things done!
Mo Xuetong was startled awake by a commotion in the middle of the night. She opened her eyes to see Mo Lan hurrying in. Mo Lan closed the door and approached her bed. When she saw that Mo Xutong was awake, she said anxiously, ”Something happened to First Miss in the palace!”
