Chapter 11 - The following
"Miss, what should we do tomorrow's poetry meet?"
Once they entered the room, Little Peach began to mutter. Her anxious look contrasted greatly with Mo Xiyan's calmness and leisure.
Seeing that her eyebrows were about to burst into flames and her young miss was still so calm, Little Peach was completely furious.
She quickly walked in front of Mo Xiyan, stopped, and looked at her with a 'the sky is about to collapse' expression, and said anxiously: "Miss, you can't just give up like this, tomorrow it will affect your life. If you really lose, you would have nothing left."
Xiaotao thought that as long as Mo Xiyan won the championship in the poetry meet tomorrow, she would truly become the princess consort.
How naive. Mo Xiyan looked at her and let out a soft sigh, before pulling her to sit on the broken chair beside him, and said: "Little Peach, do you really think that I can win if I go?"
Xiaotao didn't understand why she said that. Blinking her eyes in confusion, she asked, "With little miss's talent, isn't winning the championship a matter of course?"
If it wasn't for the Prime Minister's bias, Mo Xiyan's name being spread throughout the entire capital would not be a problem.
The most important thing was that the name of Mo Jingyuan's current talent was based on the articles written by Mo Xiyan.
These little peaches were clear, Mo Xiyan knew it too.
This was because the original owner's memories of these matters were abnormally clear, and even contained traces of the original owner's anger.
The original owner, who did not get angry over the matter of seizing the husband, actually had anger towards Mo Jingyuan on this matter. It was clear to see how much she cared about this matter.
However, things had changed and she, Mo Jingyuan, was the only one with a reputation in the capital.
Rather than getting angry, he might as well spend his time trying to find what he had lost and make up for it.
When Mo Xiyan thought of this, Little Peach also did the same.
She immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. Seeing Mo Xiyan sitting there silently, as if she was in pain, she suddenly started to panic.
"Miss, it's this servant's fault, I shouldn't have said these things."
"Miss, if you're sad, then hit your slave. Don't hold it in and make it difficult for yourself …"
But before her head even touched the ground, it was stopped by Mo Xiyan.
"You didn't do anything wrong, why should I hit you?"
She exerted some force in her hand and pulled Little Peach up. She looked at her and said in a serious tone, "Don't be like this next time. I don't like it when you kneel before me."
As a person who had received higher education, she had never liked this kind of sham.
Of course, she also knew that it was very normal for people in this world to kneel to her, so as long as she wasn't too out of line and was in the presence of others, she would do as she pleased.
But in this situation, she didn't think it was necessary.
"Little, Miss, you, you don't want this servant anymore?" She did have good intentions, but to Xiaotao, she was completely abandoned by her young mistress.
She then cried out, "Miss, whether you hit me or scold me, I beg of you, please don't want me. I am willing to serve you, but I am not willing to leave you …"
Her loud cry made Mo Xiyan's face fall into a mess in the wind.
She was defeated by Little Peach's tears.
Well, she shouldn't have expected to change her servility.
"Alright, I didn't say that I don't want you." Mo Xiyan sighed, stopping her from kowtowing once again, "Don't kowtow so easily. Where are you going to find a girl like you to order me to after you?"
"Miss, please don't say it like that. As long as you win the poem, I will definitely treat you differently. Didn't you say before that I would treat you like this because I was deceived by Madam and Second Miss?"
In her eyes, her young mistress was perfect. Even if she wore coarse hemp clothes, it would still be perfect.
As such, when they heard Mo Xiyan's words, they immediately forgot to cry and quickly refuted him.
Seeing that she had finally stopped crying and returned to her normal state, Mo Xiyan could finally heave a sigh of relief.
She would rather listen to this girl talk, than to see her cry talk. It made her even more upset.
Just as Mo Xiyan was being bombarded by Little Peach's fatigue, a sound came from outside the door once again.
"Little Peach, shh!" She signalled to Peach to stop talking while she walked quickly to the window. Through the hole in the window, she quietly observed the situation in the yard.
She immediately understood what Mo Xiyan meant. At the same time she shut her mouth, she quietly stood at her original position without moving forward, in case something bad happened to Mo Xiyan.
The courtyard door opened as the Li mama walked in with two guards.
Her arrogant appearance was even more like a master than Mo Xiyan.
"Is the Eldest Miss in the house?" Li mama stood at the foot of the stairs, and shouted towards the door: "Madam wants you to go over."
Most likely, the reason the Madame Prime Minister was looking for her at this time was because of Mo Qingwei.
Could it be that she wanted her to become Mo Qingwei's scapegoat?
Mo Xiyan thought about it, there really was such a possibility.
After all, as long as she was the scapegoat, even if tomorrow's poem won, it would be impossible for her to get involved with the crown prince.
Moreover, the Madame Prime Minister originally had the intention to ruin her reputation, it was just that she didn't succeed last time.
Thinking about it, Mo Xiyan quickly walked back to the bedside and immediately laid down.
"Little Peach, open the door."
"Li … Li mama … Little Miss … she just came back and fell ill. She really can't get up. Could you … could you ask Madam for help?"
"Yo, isn't it too much of a coincidence that Eldest Miss is sick?"
Li mama looked at Peach with a weird look and snorted, "Go take a look, no matter if she's really sick or just faking it, drag her out for me."
Xiao Tao could not believe it, the Li mama did not care about the young miss' name and openly allowed the guards to enter her room.
Once they entered, the lady's reputation would be ruined!
Xiao Tao was anxious, she was angered, and angrily shouted at the Li mama for the first time: "Li mama, even if young miss is not favored, she is still a Prime Minister. She is the Eldest Miss of the palace, a master. "Ahhh!"
Before she could finish, she was slapped to the ground by the Li mama.
"Pah, direct daughter? It's a compliment to call her Miss. In my eyes, she's nothing. "
The Li mama glared at the two bodyguards and said, "Why aren't you guys leaving yet? If you make the Madam wait for you, you'll have something good to eat!"
The guards were still hesitating at first, but after hearing Li mama's words, their expressions immediately became serious as they simultaneously shouted in a low voice, "Yes."
Then he walked quickly to the door.
"You are not allowed to enter!" Xiao Tao wanted to stop them again, but Li mama held her back tightly. She could only watch as the two bodyguards walked into Mo Xiyan's room …
