Chapter 87 Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet Enters the Palace

Nangong Chun was speechless after being rebuked. Nangong Li looked at Nangong Chun and said coldly, "Aren't you going to move aside?"

When Nangong Chun saw Nangong Li coming over, he had already planned to back down. There was no need to confront Nangong Li for the sake of a woman, so he decided to leave.

Perhaps this is the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. The fear surrounding Nangong Li stems from the legitimate son's suppression of the illegitimate son's bloodline!

"Qingyang, go in and bring out the Second Miss and the others!" He then looked at the crowd and said, "Why don't we all go to the palace together today, so that we can be witnesses for Miss Mo!"

Left with no other choice, everyone set off together for the palace in a grand procession!

When Qingyang led the three people out of the room, Mo Zhixia had already tidied herself up and redone her makeup. She was thrilled to hear that Mo Liuyun was going to the palace to break off the engagement. She was already Qing Wang's woman, and Qing Wang had even stepped in to protect her! Maybe His Majesty would issue an edict to grant her a marriage!

Mo Liuyun's eyes lit up upon hearing this: This Prince Pingnan is really shrewd! She was thinking about how to make a big scene in the palace and get the engagement annulled! This guy has already brought witnesses!

Qingyang: Master really went all the way! To ensure the young lady could smoothly annul the engagement, he even took the witnesses with him!

When Liu Siwan saw Mo Zhixia, she was about to slap her, but Mo Yunfei stopped her: "Cousin, I believe Zhixia was framed. Let's go to the palace together and get justice for Zhixia."

Liu Siwan didn't know what to say. If it were discovered that Zhixia had drugged and framed Mo Liuyun, the general would surely kill Zhixia! Therefore, Liu Siwan had to prepare for the worst. She summoned an inconspicuous servant, whispered a few words to him, and then followed the others into the palace.

Everyone waited at the palace gate for the summons, but Nangong Li and Nangong Chun did not have to wait and entered the palace directly. Nangong Chun went to Consort Liu's palace, while Nangong Li went to the Imperial Study.

Consort Liu waited after being informed that Nangong Chun had entered the palace. Normally, Nangong Chun would not come to the palace at this time; she would usually come to pay her respects after the morning court session.

Today is Madam Mo's birthday. Yesterday, she even had someone select birthday gifts and send them to Prince Qing's residence. According to etiquette, this should be the time for the birthday banquet. Just as Consort Liu was speculating, her personal maid came over and reported to her that not only Nangong Chun had entered the palace...

Nangong Li went to the Imperial Study, and the guests at the birthday banquet were all waiting for a summons at the Meridian Gate! Most importantly, Mo Yunyi returned, and he was with Mo Liuyun and the Xiao family, waiting for His Majesty's summons!

Consort Liu was even more uneasy at this moment. This matter was most likely because her son had done something outrageous to Mo Liuyun again. At this moment, Nangong Chun had already entered. As soon as she entered, she bowed to Consort Liu and said, "Greetings to Mother Consort."

Consort Liu did not wake him, but simply took a sip of tea and said in a calm voice, "Speak, what did you do to Mo Liuyun this time that made Mo Yunyi bring the entire birthday banquet to the palace to meet the Emperor?"

Nangong Chun looked up at his mother, only to see that her expression remained unchanged, neither happy nor angry. Nangong Chun felt a deep-seated fear of his mother and felt little of the warmth that mother and son usually share.

He was very strict with him when he was a child. The sentence he often heard was: "Only if you are better than Nangong Li and surpass him in everything can you gain your father's favor, avoid being looked down upon in the palace, and have a chance to get close to that position in the future!"

In order to attract her father's attention, she made herself practice swordsmanship in the palace in the dead of winter wearing only thin clothes until she caught a cold and developed a fever. Only then did her mother, with tears in her eyes, send for the imperial physician.

When her father arrived, she hugged her and cried her heart out, saying how hard she had practiced her skills and had forgotten to put on extra clothes. In the end, her father got angry and had her personal maid beaten with thirty strokes of the cane. Nangong Chun had lost count of how many times such incidents had happened since she was a child.

When he was a child, he didn't understand. Now that he's grown up, he does understand. It's as if he's just a tool for his mother to win favor. He's constantly reminded to do this and that, to prioritize his maternal grandparents' family, and to listen to his maternal grandparents, all so that he can eventually ascend to that position above all others.

But they never asked him what he wanted. When he was a child, people around him would remind him not to get too close to the other princes.

I remember once when Nangong Li came out of the Empress's palace, he received a reward from the Empress, which was a pastry that he had never eaten before. Nangong Li saw him in the Imperial Garden and gave him a piece. He smelled the fragrance and was about to put it in his mouth, but the palace servant said that the Consort said that it was past the meal time and it was not time to have snacks yet, so the rules could not be broken.

Nangong Li retorted, "Mother said we can eat whatever we want, so why does Fourth Brother have to consider the time of day even for a piece of pastry?" At that time, he himself didn't understand either.

However, he still took the pastry back to his palace. When he returned to the palace, Nangong Chun asked his mother why he couldn't eat it whenever he wanted. His mother replied that as a prince, he should cultivate self-discipline and restrain his desires, and he should not do whatever he pleased!

Whenever he did something he shouldn't have, after his mother punished him, his personal maids would be replaced. When he was little, he would secretly ask his wet nurse where they had all gone, and the wet nurse would kneel down and beg him not to ask anymore. Looking back now that he's grown up, he understands exactly where they went.

Inside the palace, he longed to grow up quickly so that he could be free after leaving the palace and establishing his own household. However, after leaving the palace, he discovered that his mother's people were still around him. Just when he thought he could finally break free from his mother's control by secretly building up his own power, he found that his mother's people were among those people!

He was in love with Mo Zhixia, but his mother said that women were like clothes and it didn't matter who he married, as long as it was beneficial to him. Under a series of coercion and enticement, he had no choice but to accept the marriage with Mo Liuyun.

He became a laughing stock in the entire Northern Li Kingdom. A prince, unable to marry the woman he loved, his marriage was merely a stepping stone to a higher position. It was truly pathetic.

Thinking of this, Nangong Li stubbornly raised his head: "Mother, I want to annul the engagement. I want to marry Zhixia. She is already mine, and I want to take responsibility for her!"

Upon hearing Nangong Chun's words, Consort Liu slammed her teacup down on the tea table with a loud thud!

"You want to marry her? What right does a concubine's daughter have to be your princess? Giving her the position of a secondary consort is already an act of mercy from me. I was thinking of keeping someone pleasing to your heart's content to warm your bed, but I never expected her to be so greedy. If I had known this would happen, I would have sent someone to kill her long ago!" Consort Liu's exquisite makeup was now filled with anger!

Nangong Chun, no longer obedient as before, stood up from the ground and said, "Mother, I am an adult now and know what I want. Please don't try to control me like you did when I was a child. Otherwise, I don't know what I might do. If I implicate my maternal grandfather and mother in the future, please don't regret it!"

Having said that, she turned and walked towards the palace gate. Consort Liu didn't react for a moment. When she did,

"How dare you!" He stopped him. As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure chased after Nangong Chun from the shadows.

Nangong Chun had contradicted her mother today, but she left quickly and had already reached the gate of Qiuhua Palace in the blink of an eye. Just as she arrived at the palace gate, a eunuch with an anxious expression came towards her.

Upon seeing Nangong Chun, the eunuch said, "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Qing. His Majesty has decreed that Your Highness must come with me to the Imperial Study immediately!"
